Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 1: The truth that is submerged deep beneath reality surfaces!
The cooperation between the Investigation Bureau and the Xinhuo Organization has become quite close.
Trading and procurement of various strategic materials.
Cooperate with each other to eliminate evil and maintain social peace and stability.
Nowadays, many personnel from the Investigation Bureau and Special Forces are studying at the Xinhuo Base.
"Our cooperation with Xinhuo has indeed been very in-depth, and both sides have contributed and benefited, but there is no doubt that our investigation bureau has taken advantage."
Even though a place for further study or awakening in Xinhuo is very expensive, and the cooperation during this period has almost drained their investigation bureau, Director Tang still believes that they have made a profit. The awakening of their investigators and special forces members can save them from death, so how can it be measured by money?
But this level of cooperation is not enough!
Director Tang said, "Now is a critical period of change. We at Donghuang can be at the forefront because we were the first to start in-depth cooperation with Xinhuo."
"But last night's Red Moon Ceremony affected several countries, and the impact was huge!"
"Although we don't know the details of the Red Moon Ritual, we can guess that it was a strong man from Xinhuo who took action to stop the ceremony and the disaster."
In this way, the ancient flame and the power of the strong who have inherited the flame will also be presented to the eyes of those countries.
Of course, perhaps there were countries that had cooperated with Xinhuo before.
But after this battle, those who have already cooperated will inevitably deepen their cooperation, and those who have not cooperated, or even those who have never heard of Xinhuo before, will continue to pursue its traces after seeing it.
Until I got in touch with Xinhuo.
Whether they can be found and contacted, Director Tang feels that this is inevitable. Xinhuo is an ancient organization that fights against disasters and is not reluctant to provide support to organizations and forces in various places.
In simple terms, Donghuang will have many more competitors.
There are many strong people in Xinhuo who come from Donghuang, which makes Director Tang feel lucky and proud.
"It is true that the whole world needs to unite to fight against the catastrophe together, but there is also competition in the unity. I hope that our awakened people in Donghuang can be at the forefront of the world. I hope that everyone in Donghuang can be as powerful as a dragon in the future!"
"So, we need to tie the firewood to the chariot."
"How?"
Huang Hongtian frowned, "Xinhuo is not an organization in our country, and it is not under the jurisdiction of our Investigation Bureau."
Director Tang laughed, "Of course I understand all this. What I mean is, we should bring in new personnel into our investigation bureau!"
Xinhuo recruits and trains all its staff members by itself.
Their investigators couldn't get in.
As for planting them secretly? It was indeed proposed by the top management, but was rejected by Director Huang and him. Once this was discovered, it would easily offend Xinhuo and ruin their honeymoon period of cooperation with Xinhuo.
Besides, what could they do by inserting him in? They had the same goal as Xinhuo, so there was no need to do such a thing.
Since they can't get into Xinhuo, why not let Xinhuo in and let their investigation bureau in?
Now, there are many cooperative tasks between Xinhuo and their Investigation Bureau to eliminate evil spirits, such as the defense of the gate to the evil world, clearing out a large number of evil spirits deep in the mountains and forests, etc.
Often their Investigation Bureau and Special Operations Department organize a large number of personnel and send out experts to provide support.
There is already this kind of cooperation, so why not take it a step further?
Introduce external personnel, employ them in the investigation bureau, and even give them high positions.
Isn't this just tying it to the chariot?
Huang Hongtian's eyes lit up after hearing Director Tang's plan.
Wonderful!
The only problem is that there must be many senior officials in the Planning Bureau who oppose it, but since the two of them have reached a consensus, other problems are not a big deal.
…
That evening,
In the Xinhuo Secret Realm, Fang You was having a video conference with Director Tang of the Investigation Bureau.
Director General Tang mentioned inviting some torchbearers to work in the Investigation Bureau to serve as a bridge for communication between the two sides, which would be more efficient in eliminating evil and maintaining social stability.
Although the Investigation Bureau intended to gain free combat power through this proposal, it also provided sufficient preferential treatment.
It's not impossible.
The Apostles of the Flame are on mission everywhere.
Fang You nodded. "It is also our responsibility to prevent disasters from happening. Director Tang is too polite."
"We still have to thank you for your dedication. You are the real unsung heroes."
Director Tang also smiled.
After further consultation, a preliminary opinion was drawn up.
Xinhuo is preparing to send a group of people, the first batch of more than ten people, to work in the Investigation Bureau.
Fang You also made a request.
This indicates that the torch bearers will not serve in the Investigation Bureau for too long, and a new batch is expected to be rotated at regular intervals.
Investigators receive further training at their Xinhuo base.
Their successors are interning within the Investigation Bureau.
That's pretty good.
The Xinhuo students who graduated from the training base are extremely capable and are among the strongest among the special-grade investigators.
However, there are still many shortcomings in the actual tracking and post-processing of abnormal events.
The experience and ideas of experienced investigators in handling cases are worth learning from.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that they can gain a lot from working in the Investigation Bureau.
Accumulate more internship experience so that you won’t be overwhelmed when you set up branches in various countries in the future and deal with the mysterious departments of each country.
This is truly a win-win-win situation.
The Investigation Bureau gained powerful combat power, and Xinhuo was able to obtain first-hand information and data, while also training the less mature Xinhuo fighters.
Quite expensive!
The only question is, who among these successors serving in the Investigation Bureau will be chosen to be the head?
He fell into deep thought.
This person must have sufficient strength, and at the same time, must have certain tactics and ability to handle things.
So people like Xing Jinglei can be ruled out.
"Yin Ling, Liu Shang, Qian Mian and others all have their own main jobs and cannot spare any time. Among the official apostles at the moment, Pei Hongjing is the most suitable one."
"but……"
Old Pei is also busy with his own career, running the Pei Security Company, which is independent of the Pei Group. Similar to the Witch Sisterhood founded by Yi Luoxi, it is an organization and company under Xinhuo.
You can get certain support from Xinhuo.
When necessary, it is necessary to supply Xinhuo with talents and materials... but under normal circumstances it operates independently and Xinhuo does not interfere.
Pei Hongjing runs back and forth between the company base every day and is very busy.
What's more, Lao Pei is better at business. At present, there is no need to start new trade between Xinhuo and the Investigation Bureau, but soon mysterious departments from other countries will come knocking on the door, and then it will be Lao Pei's time to shine.
It is not appropriate to let him be the head of Xinhuo Investigation Bureau.
Then who else?
Among the official apostles, the only one who is free to take action is Sister An. As the first Xinhuo member to come into the sight of the Investigation Bureau, An Jianyou's words are appropriate.
As long as Fang You asks, An Jianyou will not refuse.
But he couldn't bear to do it.
An Jianyou is the combat power of Xinhuo. Before Brother Heidao was promoted to the fourth awakening, she was definitely the second best person in Xinhuo. It would be a waste of her talent to let her be in charge of the Investigation Bureau.
At the same time, she is also the main force of exploration.
After much thought, I could only cross it out.
Then who else is suitable?
Fang You was in a dilemma. It seemed that he could only choose among the secondary apostles.
He opened the list of apostles, sorted them by strength, and checked them from top to bottom.
Soon, a candidate was chosen.
Fan Anyuan! His current position is an instructor at the training base. He doesn't talk much, but he is quite capable of handling things. He is also the person in charge of contacting the Investigation Bureau at the training base.
The qualifications, strength, ability and experience are all appropriate.
Of course, in his opinion, Fan Anyuan's second level of awakening is still not enough to match the strength of the three-star Guixie.
If you want to be the head of the Xinhuo Investigation Bureau, you must at least have the triple awakening level.
So as not to weaken the momentum of the fire.
He glanced at Fan Anyuan's panel.
Mystery value: 319.
Many of them were obtained by killing the evil spirits in the Red Moon Ritual battle last night.
Although there is still a long way to go from the baseline of 400, it doesn't matter. We can just make some small efforts. The faceless statue now placed in the secret place of Kangaroo Country has accumulated a lot of mysteries.
But before that, he felt that he needed to make some additions to his identity and status.
…
"A medal ceremony?"
Inside the training base, Sun Hao opened his mouth wide and asked a soul-searching question, "What is this? Why have I never heard of it?"
Luo Jianxing hung his head. "It is to award medals to the torch fighters who have made outstanding contributions. This medal represents extraordinary glory, and only a very few people can receive it."
"This is our Xinhuo's first public awarding ceremony. The previous awards given by the big guys were not made public."
Outstanding contribution! Medal of honor! Supreme honor!
Sun Hao was excited. Looking at Luo Jianxing, the senior master, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Luo, did you also get a medal?"
Luo Jianxing turned his head stiffly and asked, "Can you please be a little more considerate?"
Can't you see how depressed I am? You are just bringing up something that is not relevant!
"Well, I'm still a little bit behind."
He heard that the people who received medals this time included Chairman Pei, Miss Liu Shang, Miss Liu Ji, but in addition there were Roland, Gou Ping'an, Fan Anyuan, Luo Rui, Ming Deng, and Xu Tian.
The big guy in front is fine, but the one behind...
Well, after a quick comparison, Luo Jianxing found that none of these people could be defeated by him, and their contributions seemed to be even worse.
emmmmm……
The awarding ceremony was not very grand.
But there were still many students who signed up to watch. The conference hall was full of people, and their eyes were full of envy as they looked at the people who walked up to the stage.
They were even more envious when they saw the instructor coming over and giving the award personally.
Very sour!
The next medal winner must have one for himself!
On the high platform,
After the host finished reading the award speech, Fang You walked forward, glanced at Liu Ji and others, and nodded with a smile.
"Your efforts and contributions will not go unnoticed."
"Congratulations."
"Now, I will award you the Order of the Firebearer."
…
…
Firebearer Medal!
The honorary recipient of the torch! Fan Anyuan and others can now call themselves torchbearers.
This is glory and pride.
But it’s not just about glory.
The title of Firebearer has no connection to a specific position, but it usually means that one can hold a more important position.
The Fire Bearer, Fan Anyuan, was about to go to the Investigation Bureau to take up his post.
Yin Ling, Wang Chui, Liu Shang, Qian Mian and others are the ministers of various departments - Qian Mian is also on the list of those selected to be the Fire Bearers, but at his/her request, he/she will not attend the awarding ceremony.
In addition to this, the Firebearer Medal has more specific benefits.
From now on, they can redeem more advanced items, and at the same time, they can enjoy a 10% discount on any item they redeem.
10% off!
This is a real discount.
After listening to his colleague's narration, Luo Jianxing was even more angry. "Ahhhhhhh, next time, next time I must get the Firebearer Medal."
"I want to take on missions, big missions, and none of you should snatch them from me!"
"And then you encounter a strong enemy and get defeated on the spot?"
Luo Rui, who had rushed back specially to attend the awarding ceremony, smiled.
He remembered that when Luo Jianxing first arrived in Langhua Country to carry out the mission, he was also very fierce, charging at the front, and then he fell to the ground and almost died at the hands of the cultists.
Luo Jianxing was depressed.
Damn it! He should just go back to training!
…
Donghuang Country, Baiyun Prefecture, Baiyun City, in an ordinary university dormitory.
College student Ye Luo is climbing over the wall to access the Internet.
Some time ago, the situation in Donghuang was a little strange. Many schools suspended classes, but they resumed classes not long after.
It seemed as if nothing had happened, and the country was calm during this period.
But Ye Luo knew that this world was not as simple as it seemed!
because,
He is a person with super powers!
He didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly felt very uncomfortable one day, and after he got through it, he gained special abilities.
Just like the destined protagonist described in the novel.
However, Ye Luo, who has read thousands of novels, knows very well that the protagonist must survive and hide himself in the early weak stage.
He never exposed his special abilities. He just practiced secretly from time to time, trying to find ways to become stronger while secretly observing his surroundings.
Observe whether there are other people with super powers like you in the university town.
The result seems to be none.
People with super powers are indeed very rare. When the world changes and spiritual energy revives, I am the one who is at the forefront of the wave!
In the age of psychic energy, he will become a top-notch powerful being with great powers!
That's what's written in novels!
Of course, Ye Luo also has self-knowledge. He may not be the protagonist, and the world must have undergone unknown changes, but he thinks he is at least an important supporting role, right? He is very strong! Since he gained super powers, he has been getting stronger day by day!
Because of this, he stopped playing games and almost dropped out of school.
In addition to exercising and secretly training my superpowers, I spend my days surfing the Internet by climbing over the firewall.
He also wanted to find some information about people with super powers abroad.
Ye Luo was browsing the largest video website when his eyes suddenly widened.
[A red moon suddenly appeared!]
[Oh my God, come and see God!]
〔Red Devil Day!〕
[The tree world has arrived! Ten thousand vines are blooming! What a power this is!]
When he turned to the first video, Ye Luo instinctively thought it was a special effect.
Even if he himself is a person with super powers, the things on the Internet are very tricky, 70% of them are fake and 30% are even more fake.
But when he turned to the second, third, fourth... and the tenth similar videos, Ye Luo felt something was wrong.
Especially the comments above, they sound so real!
"I swear! I was in the City of Waves at the time and saw the red moon with my own eyes! Oh, and there were also those terrible demons. They were invulnerable to swords and guns. They killed anyone they saw. The dog of my neighbor Aunt Susan was brutally murdered!"
"Pictures! Pictures! Pictures! Look! This is the Wave City after the Red Moon. This is real. We have encountered an unprecedented disaster!"
"I saw a huge black shadow! Many people went crazy, there were screams and blood everywhere!"
"What happened in our foggy city was even more exaggerated. I even saw a small sapling grow wildly into a thick vine tens of meters long within a few seconds. This is the picture I took at the time!"
Not only pictures, but also videos.
Ye Luo flipped over one of them. The video was very shaky, and one could imagine the nervousness and fear of the person who filmed it at the time.
I was shaking the whole time.
But the video is still clear.
On the land outside the window, vines grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye they turned into vine dragons dozens of meters long, whistling and tearing through the air, easily shattering high walls and lifting the earth, bringing unparalleled visual impact.
And true!
Ye Luo swallowed and his heart trembled.
Is it possible that you are neither the destined protagonist nor an important supporting role, or even an ordinary supporting role?
In the new era, I am probably just an insignificant extra.
Not even worthy of leaving a name.
at this time,
In countries such as Sunset and Waves, more and more information about the Red Moon Disaster has appeared on the Internet, and there are countless first-hand videos witnessing the extraordinary and the disaster.
The truth hidden deep beneath the reality finally surfaced before the public!
