Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter 44: Two-Way Run
However, the novice wooden sword did not have a scabbard and did not come with it, so Fang You could only pick up the cloth strips on the ground and wrap them around the wooden sword in circles.
Before that, he carefully experienced the silky feeling of life energy pouring into and flowing out of the wooden sword.
Really silky smooth.
It is even smoother and more moist than guiding the life energy to flow through the body, and it makes the life energy become extremely condensed and sharp.
Relying on the life energy that he guided and burst out, he could probably only hurt some minor evil spirits. But with the novice wooden sword, facing this evil spirit that was much stronger than the doorknocker, he could kill it with just a few swords.
It is easier to kill evil spirits, safer, and consumes less energy than a palm thunder.
Basic swordsmanship has been epically enhanced!
Is this the power of the novice wooden sword? I underestimated it before.
Fang You looked at his panel.
An awakening! Mastery of swordsmanship, mastery of palm thunder, and faith in trickery and burning fire...
I, the torch mentor, am invincible!
…
"Grass!"
Just when Fang You returned home and took out the daily rescue game to play, he found several more red marks on the detection map.
This is not a big problem. He clears them out gradually according to the degree of danger of the evil spirits. Most of the evil spirits have their own behavioral logic and will not run around. As long as their birthplace is a sparsely populated place, the harm they cause is relatively small.
They will all turn into his experience packs and resources for becoming stronger.
But at this time, Fang You's gaze fell on the cemetery in the south and southern suburbs. He had an impression of this place. It was one of the four areas he had focused on before.
Because this place had been blocked by the Investigation Bureau and there was no danger, he cleared the evil spirits in this area and put them to the back row, giving priority to Brother Black Knife to eliminate the two-star evil spirits that were more likely to roam around.
Before I could take any action , the mission in this area disappeared.
This was not the first time Fang You had seen such a situation.
He could probably guess that, in the Investigation Bureau, some of the evil was cleared out by the investigators. Although these investigators' methods were a little weaker, their speed was still quite fast. He was a little surprised to see that the evil in the cemetery had also been eliminated.
The evil in the cemetery is quite strong.
From a human perspective, Fang You still hopes that the Investigation Bureau can be stronger, and a little experience will not be a problem.
But at this moment, the mission sign that had disappeared from the South Suburbs Cemetery reappeared again.
And this time it is brighter red.
[Emergency Mission: Gate to the Strange World]
[Status: Unstable, estimated start countdown 47:46:59 .]
This was a type of mission he had never seen before, but judging from the red and urgent prefixes, the situation was not small and was much more serious than the Snake Mother incident.
And the vague descriptions and foreshadowings above...
"The gate to the strange world? Will a large number of strange evil spirits emerge from it?"
"The ratings of the evil spirits that emerged are unknown. It is impossible that they are all weak evil spirits. Even if they are at the level of the door knocker, their numbers will be terrifying."
Tricky!
Fang You tapped on the table, his thoughts racing. The mission did not specify the magnitude of the disaster that the portal to the strange world would bring, nor did it specify how long the entire portal would last once it was opened.
I can only be sure that it is not permanent, but even if it is temporary, the evil that emerges is so numerous...
He simulated the situation.
"I can now beat ordinary one-star evil spirits, but only in one-on-one situations."
"If it's one on two or one on three, the danger level increases greatly."
Thinking of the bird that was bitten by Guixie today and rotted in an instant, Fang You roughly understood that Guixie's lethality was definitely not weak. Didn't you see that Brother Heidao had never taken Guixie's attack head-on?
I can only hide.
There is also the consumption of life energy. Even if they are all the weakest Guixie, a large number of them can tire Black Knife Brother to death, unless...
He recalled that during the Snake Mother mission, the Investigation Bureau had used Buddhist beads and talismans to eliminate many weak evil spirits.
Some evil spirits are also eliminated on weekdays.
Suddenly a bold idea came to my mind.
"Does the Investigation Bureau know that a gate to a strange world is about to appear?"
"How can I get in touch with the investigation bureau without revealing my identity?"
Fang You fell into deep thought.
…
At this time, the atmosphere in the Baijiang Investigation Bureau was tense.
There were many unfamiliar faces among the people coming and going, all of them were investigators from the Baiyun Prefecture Bureau.
"Director, the third batch of equipment from the state has arrived, and there is also a batch of newly developed equipment and weapons sent from the General Administration."
"Director, the people in the southern suburbs have been organized to evacuate in batches."
"Director, no new evil has appeared in the cemetery yet, but the gray fog at the gate of hell has grown larger."
"Director, ..."
Director Zhou tugged at his hair and pulled out a few strands. His hair was black with some white, and he seemed to be getting balder and balder.
He asked, "How many special investigators from the state can come over?"
"It has been confirmed that Master Arima and the artillery are almost here, and there are several others on their way."
Director Zhou nodded slightly.
He had heard of the names of these two people. Their awakening abilities were both relatively strong. They were much better at dealing with evil spirits than Bai Xue, who was also of the special grade.
Especially Master Ma, who has strong awakening ability and is also strong himself.
Now there are three special investigators, all equipped with new weapons developed by the General Administration, as well as a large number of Buddhist beads and consecrated talismans blessed by Buddhist teachings, as well as secret weapons just sent by the General Administration!
It can be said to be quite luxurious. If it weren't for this disastrous incident, how could he, a branch director, handle so many things?
only……
Is this enough? It's not enough! It's not enough!
Even if they were prepared, it would still not be enough to stop the evil from blocking the gates of hell.
Director Zhou would feel uneasy if he didn't make some preparations, but a good cook cannot cook without rice. He was also well aware of the pressure from other places and wanted to split the special investigators into two parts.
There are too few special investigators!
As far as he knew, there were very few investigators who were lucky enough to trigger the awakening, and the awakening process was extremely dangerous, and the number of people who could survive and gain abilities in the end was even smaller.
Just like buying lottery tickets!
It would be great if we could find a way to awaken.
He heard that the General Administration was conducting research on the issue, and if there was a breakthrough, the manpower would not be so tight.
Director Zhou looked at the other members of the disaster response team and said, "The current situation is unclear, and the extent of the disaster is unknown. To be on the safe side, we must be prepared to evacuate all residents of Baijiang City. If necessary, sound the alarm and have everyone relocate!"
This is the worst outcome.
He hoped to control the source of the disaster... Director Zhou continued to think of ways.
Because of this disaster, the General Administration did provide some new weapons, but now there are people who have weapons but cannot use them.
We are short of people! We are short of awakened people!
"Old Zhou, you still have to rely on me at the critical moment. I am the most reliable person in our Baijiang Branch."
Jiang Tingqiu popped up and said to Director Zhou with an unpleasant look, "Have you forgotten that mysterious organization? It's not shabby to cooperate with them for Baijiang City."
"Tell me where to find it?"
"So, Lao Zhou, remember to give me a great credit."
Director Zhou looked over in surprise, and heard Jiang Tingqiu say, "I found out about that girl."
