Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter 16: Embracing the Mystical Awakening
Oh no, oh no, oh no, it’s going to be bad!
On the deserted street, the cold wind blew, blowing up the girl's hair and the withered fallen leaves.
But she seemed unaware, with ripples in her eyes. The great terror in the distance and the ugly and terrifying face in front of her continued to impact her fragile inner defenses.
It made her want to cry.
I was too careless! I couldn't keep my expression when I saw the scary big guy in the distance, and it attracted the attention of some dirty things around me!
What’s even more terrible is that the big guy at the end of the street seems to be targeting him as well.
Woo woo woo——
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! An Jianyou, hold on!
The girl cheered herself up in her heart and allowed these staggering, ugly figures to come closer. Her cheeks were tense and she maintained an expressionless face.
Very scary wow!
How can I not be afraid!
However, this was not the first time that An Jianyou had encountered a similar situation. After so many times, he was unable to resist, so... he could only gradually get used to it.
About two years ago, she discovered that she could see some strange and dirty things. At first, they were just some little people or some vague black shadows.
The quantity is not large.
She was frightened for a while but found that as long as she ignored the shadows, she would not be affected.
There was no point in being afraid, An Jianyou could only accept it.
Gradually, as time passed, the dirt she saw became more and more numerous and clearer, and she could also hear some strange noises.
She could only force herself to ignore it and tried to find a solution, but to no avail.
Sometimes it can even be more dangerous.
An Jianyou has also gotten used to it, so just ignore them!
She could have done it. Those things only existed in some desolate and deserted places, and there were not many of them.
But during this period of time, for some reason, the world in her eyes seemed to become more and more unfamiliar.
There were staggering, rotten figures wandering on the road , the sky was covered with a light gray mist, and even more terrifying things were lurking.
That's the big guy in the distance!
And that one...
An Jianyou saw the image of the snake mother reflected in his pupils, and his heart was beating rapidly.
Instinct seemed to tell her that this big guy was different from the other big guys she had seen before. She must not get close to it and must not be targeted by it.
Otherwise, even if I ignore it...
You will die too!
It’s horrible, it’s horrible, it’s horrible!
breathe--
An Jianyou stood there in a daze for a few seconds, then suddenly twisted his wrist and muttered, "It's so heavy, did I buy too many things? Damn it, I should have brought Ying along."
She rubbed her wrist, opened her cell phone and made a call, muttered a few words, and when she saw the staggering figures around her gradually ignoring her, she picked up the shopping bag that had fallen on the ground as if nothing had happened, turned a corner and walked away.
It's just that her pace was a little more hurried than before.
An Jianyou raised his eyes slightly, looking past the buildings and into the distance, at a building over a hundred meters high.
The building was magnificent, but in her sight, there was an extremely huge, terrifying octopus-like monster clinging to it.
Swell and shrink.
As if sucking something.
"What on earth is wrong with this world?"
…
"How should I know what happened!"
"Does Guixie need a reason for doing anything?"
"The problem now is that the evil in the abandoned building is much more active than before, and it's starting to move!"
Inside the Baijiang Investigation Bureau, Director Zhou slammed the round table.
Anxious, uneasy, and heavy.
But these emotions are meaningless!
"The key now is how to deal with this matter."
Director Zhou paused and said, "First, we need to evacuate the people around and expand the blockade area... Fortunately, that area is remote and sparsely populated."
"Secondly..."
It’s about how to deal with that evil creature.
We could have blocked it off temporarily before, but now we have to deal with it!
However, if it were easy to eliminate this evil, the Bureau would not have resorted to blockade measures before.
Blockade is the only solution!
In the meeting room,
Several investigators thought about the terrible evil at the construction site a few days ago, which was so spooky that their twenty-year-old Buddhist beads broke and the exorcism failed.
And the evil in abandoned buildings is only more terrifying.
After a series of analysis and judgment, they concluded that the situation was far more evil than that at the construction site.
"Director, can you contact the person from a few days ago?"
an investigator asked.
Director Zhou shook his head. "I know what you want to say. I have already asked the higher-ups and they don't have this person in the bureau. The mysterious man in black who appeared at the construction site a few days ago is not a special investigator of our investigation bureau."
"I also requested support from the Baiyun Prefecture Bureau, but..."
Director Zhou shook his head. "Special investigators are few and far between. They are either busy with important matters or too far away. The only special investigator in the city next to us is rushing here."
"But she made it clear that she would probably be powerless in the face of such a terrifying evil."
Heavy pressure fell on everyone in the Baijiang Investigation Bureau.
There are some ways to deal with evil.
The master consecrated it.
blockade.
Special investigator.
But all of these are not enough.
Suddenly, Jiang Tingqiu, the only first-class investigator in Baijiang, looked at Director Zhou and asked, "What does a special-class investigator mean? If our Baijiang City also has its own special-class investigator, can we..."
yes!
Upon hearing this, several investigators looked at Director Zhou with burning eyes.
Is there some big secret behind this?
"There is indeed a piece of information with a very high confidentiality level. I didn't know much about it originally, but now..."
Director Zhou sighed, "The current situation is becoming increasingly serious, and the higher-ups have allowed a small range of disclosures. Remember, the news you heard today must be kept to yourself."
This is inevitable.
As investigators, they are the ones who are best at keeping secrets.
But that doesn't stop them from looking forward to it.
Especially Jiang Tingqiu, he has been doubting and pursuing, he longs to have the real means to deal with the evil.
Just like the man in black a few days ago.
"Special investigators are people who possess special means and can directly injure or kill evil spirits, but they are not some strange people who have been learning and practicing since childhood. Most of them have the same background as you, starting out as ordinary investigators."
"The difference is that when one of you awakens, you will receive a call from the General Administration, and as long as you pass the assessment, you will be promoted to a special investigator."
"Therefore, there is no fixed promotion path for special investigators. They can only wait until their own conditions are met before accepting the call from the General Administration."
"As for..."
"You must be wondering how to awaken and what awakening is, right?"
Director Zhou paused, glanced at the investigators in front of him, and told them the big secret that they were most concerned about, "Embrace the mystery, and you will awaken."
