“No, is a water ghost like you so tight-lipped?”
Lu Bai had already poked several holes in the drowned ghost with the copper coin sword.
But even though the drowned ghost was nearly tornted to the point of its form and spirit scattering, it still hadn’t revealed even a shred of intelligence.
“Uh… Master Lu?”
Seeing that Lu Bai was about to finish off the drowned ghost completely, Captain Mao finally couldn’t hold back and asked softly: “As you know, our action departnt has never captured a live anomaly. Do you think… is there any way?”
“Next ti. This thing doesn’t even have an entity.”
As Lu Bai spoke, he drew talismans on the drowned ghost.
After all, when it ca to dealing with anomalies, Lu Bai was the only professional, so Captain Mao naturally wouldn’t refute.
Observer Chen didn’t even make any suggestions, staying honest and diligent with his observer duties throughout.
Monts later, Lu Bai pinched his fingers and chanted an incantation, the patterns drawn on the drowned ghost emanating a warm golden light.
With a shrill scream, the drowned ghost turned into a wisp of green smoke, and the foul stench filling the security room began to gradually dissipate.
With this anomaly, the drowned ghost, dealt with, the surrounding electronic equipnt promptly resud normal operation.
“Zzz~”
“Hey! Hey! Respond if you receive this!”
Hearing the sound from the walkie-talkie, Captain Mao imdiately pressed the intercom button: “Can hear you.”
“Communications were cut off earlier. Did an anomaly appear?”
“Sequence 81 appeared, already handled by Master Lu. Nothing happened on your end?”
“Everything normal outside the school…”
After inquiring for a bit, Captain Mao notified the action departnt personnel to enter.
……
Action departnt’s eting hall.
Upon learning that Lu Bai had successfully handled the drowned ghost, cheers imdiately erupted in the hall.
“Handled it? So fast?!”
“Old Wang, pinch . I think I’m having an illusion.”
“Great! As long as Master Lu is here, anomalies are nothing to fear.”
“Minister Zhang, when will you let Lu Bai co to our Beichuan City for a visit? It’s right next to Keshishan City anyway.”
Everyone was very excited, the eting hall filled with a joyful atmosphere.
In the past, operations involving dealing with anomalies would inevitably result in so casualties, and they fundantally couldn’t resolve the anomaly successfully.
Now with soone like Lu Bai who had the ability to deal with anomalies, no matter from which angle, it was a great thing.
The old man called Minister Zhang was wearing a neat suit.
“Once might be a coincidence, but twice, three tis, proves that our Master Lu truly has real skill.”
Minister Zhang suddenly stood up, his raised right hand trembling slightly: “Have the propaganda departnt prepare, notify the civilians at the fastest speed…”
Halfway through, he changed to ask: “Who is the observer with Master Lu right now?”
The bureau chief of Lu Bao Bureau was a rather comical-looking bald man.
He quickly stood up: “Minister Zhang, it’s Observer No. 73.”
Minister Zhang, dressed in military uniform, took a deep breath and said gravely: “Contact Observer No. 73, pull up his on-site screen…”
Minister Zhang hesitated slightly, but finally decided: “Do it via livestream. The civilians have waited too long for this day.”
Anyway, the anomaly had already been handled, no need to worry about any accidents.
This kind of wrap-up work, even if not stimulating enough, could absolutely satisfy the civilians’ sense of security to a great extent.
……
There was still so ti before the action departnt personnel arrived, so Lu Bai simply walked out of the security room and stood at the entrance, scanning the area.
He rubbed his chin and suddenly said: “Have the action personnel hold off for now. I suspect this school has more than one anomaly.”
Captain Mao, holding the walkie-talkie, was stunned for a mont.
Though sowhat baffled, he still decisively relayed the ssage via walkie-talkie.
After speaking, he leaned in and asked softly: “Master Lu, did you spot traces of another anomaly?”
Lu Bai stared at a teaching building not far away, a strange glint flashing in his gaze.
In fact, he hadn’t seen an anomaly, but rather artistic font flashing by on a classroom window on the second floor.
That was a death fighter’s title.
To know, every death fighter’s title, whether a few stars or whatever the effect.
In any case, visually, it would manifest exceptionally conspicuously.
Just like in a low-quality web ga, the character might be unclear, but the title had to be obvious.
Especially on a pitch-black night like this, titles of various colors were like glaring signposts in a death fighter’s eyes.
Lu Bai nodded: “I’m going to check it out. I might not be able to watch out for you later.”
As he spoke, he strode straight toward that teaching building.
Captain Mao and Observer Chen, left behind him, exchanged a glance, both feeling so tension.
But without hesitating too long, the two silently followed Lu Bai’s footsteps.
None of the three spoke, the way quiet with only faint footsteps.
At the corridor entrance of the teaching building, not even two steps up the stairs, Lu Bai suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Captain Mao and Observer Chen cautiously moved behind Lu Bai.
Captain Mao even looked around left and right before straining to lower his voice to ask: “Master Lu? What’s wrong?”
Observer Chen, however, was frozen, his expression visibly torn.
He had just received instructions from the superior departnt, and the content wasn’t too difficult.
After all, as a professional, whether recording or livestreaming, the essence of what he had to do was the sa; explanations and such were handled by others.
But the problem was, this was originally ant to livestream the action departnt’s follow-up wrap-up work.
But now the situation had changed, and he was montarily unsure whether to continue filming.
The superior departnt was also hesitating at that mont.
Because they had underestimated the civilians’ enthusiasm, the livestream room’s popularity was off the charts.
Don’t forget, due to the descent of anomalies, civilians had developed the habit of staying ho after dark, forced empty streets.
In the past, when the action departnt dealt with anomalies, they wouldn’t livestream, had never even considered this thod.
Livestreaming sothing related to anomalies was unprecedented.
So the action departnt starting a livestream at this ti, even without prior publicity, civilians could notify each other.
The instant the livestream room opened, tens of millions of viewers surged in, the prepared hundreds of lines all maxed out, needing more added.
In this situation, to shut down the livestream just because of suspected anomaly existence.
Not to ntion boosting civilian confidence, it would be good if they weren’t completely demoralized.
At this point, Minister Zhang could only admit bad luck.
“Get ready. If the situation turns bad, cut the livestream signal imdiately.”
