"It's confirmed. The shadowy figure's strength is definitely at the second tier or even higher."
On the open ground of Qingshan Temple.
Chi Le looked at the [mountain gate] and said with certainty.
On the left side of the gate frame, there was originally mist swirling around it.
A large chunk is now missing.
It looked like it had been forcibly ripped off by something.
The original black color of the door frame was revealed.
And right in front of Chi Le.
[WARNING: Building - Gate Durability - 9!]
【Mountain Gate (Durability: 21/30)】
Even the most durable building in a Taoist temple, the mountain gate, can only withstand three hits at most before it will be destroyed on the spot after the fourth hit!
"If I were to take that hit myself, I'd be covered in sores here and there."
Looking at the shocking wounds on the [mountain gate].
Chi Le gently shook her head.
Since things have come to this, let's go back to the present world and go to sleep.
"At least there are demons and evil spirits near Qingshan Temple that allow me to obtain the [Awakening Mist]."
"I've heard Chen Cheng talk about the situation in Heliu Town."
"The town's inhabitants are mainly protected by the Qinghui Division of Yu the Great—an organization similar to the Special Affairs Bureau in the modern world."
"But it seems there's a river god temple on the edge of town."
"There should be divine images available for recording."
"I just don't know if it's first-tier or second-tier."
"Moreover, there seems to be a place in Heliu Town that specializes in training extraordinary individuals, and there are two people from Changxi Village who are training there."
"Perhaps we could go and observe—"
Thinking about what he needed to do before heading to Heliu Town, Chi Le returned to the present world.
I unlocked the door and walked out of the dormitory.
The evening breeze, carrying the scent of grass and trees, brushed against Chi Le's face.
He went into the corridor and breathed in the slightly cool evening breeze.
"Chi Le, you've finally decided to go out!"
The familiar shouts reached his ears.
Chi Le knew that this rare moment of peace and quiet was no longer going to be enjoyed.
He lowered his head.
Luo Yang was standing downstairs in the dormitory building, waving at him.
Wu Min and Chai Siyuan were standing beside him.
"Aren't you hungry since you haven't eaten all day?"
Before Chi Le could answer, Wu Min had already chimed in.
"Come on, Chi Le, there are a few new roadside food carts outside. Let's go see what they have to eat!"
Chai Siyuan stood next to Wu Min, blinking her big eyes without saying a word.
Luo Yang added.
"Although it's called a training camp, the Special Affairs Bureau doesn't really manage it too strictly. It's more like a training program, so we don't have any problems going out."
"Moreover, these vendors come every time our Jiangcheng Special Operations Bureau sends people here for training."
I heard there's a good jianbing guozi place.
Chi Le rubbed her stomach.
I am indeed a bit hungry.
"OK."
After asking the people downstairs to wait for him, Chi Le turned and went downstairs.
When they got downstairs, Luo Yang patted Chi Le on the back.
"I haven't seen anyone all afternoon, could they have been catching up on sleep the whole time?"
"Are you feeling unwell, or did you not sleep well last night?"
Several people cast concerned glances at Chi Le.
"No, it's just that the training camp feels like being in class, so I'm a bit sleepy."
Chi Le's words made all three people present burst out laughing.
The conversation naturally turned to school.
"When I was in school, I was the same way. Every time I finished my 8 a.m. class and had no classes in the afternoon, I would go back to my dorm and sleep until dinner time."
"Siyuan, aren't you in college right now? You shouldn't be like me, right? Hahaha————"
Wu Min spoke first.
Chai Siyuan quickly waved her hand.
"No way, actually I'm the same way. My roommates even drag me to class—"
"8 AM—what the heck is 8 AM?"
Luo Yang scratched the back of his head, revealing a genuine question on his face for the first time.
"Eight in the morning is—"
Chai Siyuan was about to explain when Wu Min interrupted her.
"Eight in the morning means studying from 8 pm until 8 am."
"Is this...like this?"
Luo Yang looked thoughtful.
"That's right, that's exactly it. College students work very hard, and it's common for them to study all night long. You haven't been to college, so you wouldn't understand."
Wu Min placed her hand in front of Chai Siyuan's mouth, stopping her from explaining.
Chi Le, who was lagging behind, smiled at the commotion but said nothing.
The gloom in my heart about not being able to gain extraordinary abilities tonight has dissipated considerably.
Luo Yang turned his head and asked Chi Le.
"Chi Le, is what Wu Min said true?"
"Um.
""
Meanwhile, in Jiangcheng, at No. 11 Jingning Road, Jiangzuo District.
Although this place is adjacent to the center of Jiangcheng.
It is extremely secluded.
:
:
Low-key and secluded, with high walls and large courtyards, these are the hallmarks of Jingning Road, a wealthy neighborhood.
A luxury car sped past on the wide avenue.
The fallen leaves are swept up, leaving behind the lingering sound of the engine.
Soon, the vehicle drove into a villa and eventually stopped in front of it.
The car door opened, and a young man in a sharp, well-maintained suit stepped out.
At the villa gate, there was a bodyguard wearing sunglasses even at night, who looked like a very professional person.
The driver produced the receipt.
I found the doorknob by touching the door panel slightly.
He suddenly opened the villa's door.
The young man straightened his slightly ill-fitting suit and strode confidently into the villa.
Soon, the young man arrived at a half-open door.
To cover up his nervousness at participating in a meeting of this level for the first time.
He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
The young man pushed open the door and entered the room.
The room was dark, with only a few red lights flickering in the darkness.
No one was speaking; the quiet air was filled with the faint smell of burning tobacco.
[Mysterious and solemn—this is the scene I imagine a gathering of extraordinary organizations to be!]
Amidst his excitement, the young man squinted, searching for his place.
He had only been sitting down for a short while.
The red dot at the very top suddenly brightened a few degrees.
It then slowly moves downwards, shakes a few times, and then goes out.
The young man heard a faint sound of something being run over.
A deep, authoritative male voice rang out from the head seat.
"Turn on all the lights. It's pitch black. I don't even know who's here or who's not."
"Holding a briefing like this is like a villain plotting something. What kind of nonsense is this?"
"It's not like we can't afford the electricity bill."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from inside the room.
clack.
Finally, someone found the switch.
Light instantly filled every corner of the room.
The young man squinted.
After a brief adjustment to the light, he could see the faces of everyone present.
An old man, four men, and one woman.
At the very head of the table was a dignified-looking, robust old man.
He has met many elderly people.
But it's rare to describe an old man as having a robust physique.
"Brother Wei!"
Everyone stood up and bowed to the elderly man at the head of the table.
Young men followed suit.
"Looks like everyone's here."
Sitting at the head of the table, Wei Ye surveyed everyone present.
"I won't waste any more words. Li Zong is dead. He died in the Ghost World."
"Then the snake scale fruit?"
A man so fat that his neck was invisible asked.
"no."
Boom!
"That good-for-nothing Li Zong, I told him not to rush, not to rush!"
"Once I'm pulled into this strange world, I'll personally retrieve the [Snake Scale Fruit]!"
"To claim credit, you have to be forceful!"
"Now look what's happened! Our plan to acquire [Snake Scale Fruit] as materials for your men to advance to the second tier, Old Li, is ruined!"
"Li Zai, all your investment has gone down the drain!"
"Damn it, if Li Zong still had a whole corpse, I'd definitely give you a good beating, Li Zai!"
The fat man slammed his hand on the table and said fiercely.
His eyes seemed to want to devour Li Zong's flesh and drink his blood.
The gaunt man, Li Zai, glanced coldly at the fat man but remained silent.
"Alright, there are new people here, so stop putting on airs."
The fat man shrugged, his flabby body jiggling, and the chair creaked under the weight.
"Your name is—what was your name again?"
Upon hearing that Master Wei had mentioned him, the young man quickly spoke up.
"My surname is Lü, and my given name is Liangwei. You can just call me Xiao Lü, Master Wei."
"Ah, okay, you'll follow Fatty Liu and take over from Li Zong."
The fat man looked at Li Zai and smiled.
Ray Lui first glanced at Li Zai secretly.
Li Zai gave him a subtle hand gesture.
He then nodded to Master Wei.
"Okay, Mr. Wei!"
"You've all received news about the Special Affairs Bureau recently, haven't you? —"
Wei Ye waved to Ray Lui, signaling him to leave.
What I'm about to say is something you shouldn't hear.
Ray Lui bowed to everyone one by one and then left the room.
He then left the villa and returned to his car.
At that moment, a message from Fatty Liu came through the phone in my pocket.
【Xiao Lü, right? There's something I need you to do.】
Go check out this place; I need detailed information on everyone.
Immediately following the information is a location.
"Jiangcheng—Eastern Suburbs?"
Ray Lui replied with "Received".
Inside the car, a woman with long, wavy hair asked.
"smoothly?"
"Well enough."
If Chi Le and Yu Xun were here, they would recognize these two familiar faces.
Two familiar "old friends".
These two were the same people Chi Le and Yu Xun had caught the pickpocket gang in the old town.
Two superhumans escaped a step ahead of time.
Ray Lui, Luo Qi.
