Chapter 41: Chapter 41 The Leader of the Mysterious Organization
Gate of Hell?!!
Just yesterday the investigators had heard this term, and today it appeared—could it be? Do they really have such rotten luck? They had just barely survived the Serpent Mother incident, and now what? Why did all these disasters keep happening in Baijiang City?
Dammit!
The investigators’ faces were equally grim now, but then Director Zhou began to offer comfort, “Panicking is useless, and besides, at least we’re luckier than during that incident in Poluo Country. We’ve noticed sothing strange before the Gate of Hell even opened, at the very least, we have ti to prepare.”
“This is no longer sothing our Baijiang branch can handle alone. I’ll imdiately call for help from the state office and headquarters, and perhaps a good number of masters will co to contain this disaster.”
The lockdown in this area must be tightened even further, and even the evacuation of nearby civilians might beco necessary, which would far exceed the scope of the previous containnt.
...
Ah, just thinking about it gives Director Zhou a headache, but headaches or not, they have to deal with it—that’s their duty, isn’t it?
Suddenly, the cellphone in his pocket began to buzz and vibrate insistently—it was a dedicated phone from the bureau. Director Zhou answered, “What!” he bellowed, his face turning ugly again.
One disaster hadn’t subsided before another one began? Were they trying to kill them off, Baijiang City!
The surrounding investigators were also tense, but soon they noticed that Director Zhou’s tense and unpleasant expression had eased into one that seed to say… ‘Are you freaking kidding ?’ And with a smack, he hung up the phone.
The investigators were confused, but judging from the situation, it didn’t seem like a real ergency had arisen—well, hopefully, everything was fine.
Back at the bureau, Wei Nian and other investigators t Jiang Tingqiu and finally understood what had happened.
“What, you all don’t believe it? Do I, Jiang Tingqiu, look like a joker to you?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Dammit, you actually doubt , the only level-one investigator we have!
Er, no offense intended, special-class big sis.
Jiang Tingqiu made so guarantees, and the personnel with him vouched as well, which made the other investigators believe and cry out in surprise, even attracting Director Zhou’s attention.
“Although there is no evidence, it’s about eighty or ninety percent certain.”
“I couldn’t keep up with that shadowy figure afterwards, but I’ve already checked all around—three circles within and three circles without—and there’s no sign of anything Mysterious Evil.”
He was absolutely professional and diligent when it ca to investigations, not just guessing blindly based on intuition.
Those two Mysterious Evils couldn’t possibly appear and disappear out of nowhere, and the pedestrians nearby were unhard. Eliminate all the impossibilities, and only one truth remained…
Mysterious Evil had a controller, a girl controlling them, and banishing the other Mysterious Evils!
“Is that possible?”
“What ans could possibly control Mysterious Evil?”
This thod was akin to a heretical cult, but the investigators weren’t averse to it. If they wanted to advance to special-class investigators through Awakening, they had to gather mystical experiences and embrace Mysterious Evil. Given this precondition, controlling Mysterious Evil, though horrifying, could still… be accepted.
At its core, controlling Mysterious Evil was simply a thod; what mattered was the person using it.
What the investigators couldn’t understand was how such terrifying entities as Mysterious Evil could be controlled? They couldn’t even touch them, yet soone could manipulate them! This disparity…
“Although there’s a small chance that this person might be an independent Awakened civilian, the greater likelihood is that they’re from… ”
That organization!
There were two reasons for this, one was as mystical as the other, and then there was…
“To be able to detect and banish newly spawned Mysterious Evil so promptly, in Baijiang City, aside from our bureau, that’s the only organization that could do it.”
Jiang Tingqiu himself was quite surprised.
The black-clothed brother with the sword, Black Blade, had astonishing swordsmanship, and the girl controlling the Mysterious Evils was even more enigmatic. But the two of them were enigmatic in completely different ways—totally different!
Previously, the bureau’s analysis of the black-clothed master assud that he had a lineage, possessing so form of ‘martial arts’ or ‘sword energy’ that they couldn’t understand.
But how to explain this second individual now? From warrior to summoner, wasn’t this way too big of a cross-genre leap?
Director Zhou also grew pensive.
“Two completely different battle systems, so could there be a third or fourth?”
“And who taught them, or rather, what kind of person is able to lead such a mysterious and powerful organization, to make these masters with profound abilities submit?”
The investigators were very curious.
It was as if they saw a silhouette, imnsely tall, dispersing the Mysterious Evil with a re wave of the hand.
…
“Whoosh~”
Scalding hot water was poured into the basin, lting the spices on the instant noodles, and instantly, an enticing aroma wafted up. Fang You added a piece of sausage into it, took a sniff, and already felt his mouth watering.
It slled delicious.
However, the thought that he, the potential Savior of Destiny… alright, even if he wasn’t yet the Savior of Destiny, at least he was a ntor of the Torch Organization, one of the mysterious exorcists of Baijiang City.
Strong and comndable.
Yet he could only eat instant noodles by himself, and bagged ones at that—after all, bagged was much cheaper than cupped, and today he had even treated himself to an added sausage, sothing he didn’t usually do.
Thinking about it, Fang You felt a tightness in his chest; the noodles that slled so good sohow didn’t taste as nice when he ate them.
“But my future is promising, and the three generals of the organization are advancing rapidly.”
There was no need to ntion Black Blade, always a gold dal worker, steadily increasing in strength.
Today, An Jianyou, the number two worker, joined in, and he, the boss, also got his hands dirty.
After a day’s work, well, he had been a bit busy today, only dispatching two small Mysterious Evils, but An Jianyou had also taken care of two, and Black Blade dealt with one big one—the harvest was quite bountiful.
It wouldn’t be long before he could do the fourth ten-consecutive Fate draws.
…
Before he knew it, two days had quietly passed.
Fang You maintained his rhythm, spending most of his ti training at ho, playing the Ga of Destiny, and arranging tasks for Black Blade and An Jianyou, occasionally setting up so routine training for An Jianyou, the girl, as well.
The rest of the ti he’d go out for a stroll and exorcise a few minor Mysterious Evils.
In two days, he had made significant progress.
‘Savior of Destiny’
‘Physique: 2.5→2.7’
‘Spirit: 1.6’
‘Mystery: 1.08’
‘Skills: Basic Swordsmanship (Proficiency: 36.9%), Mysterious Evil Tracking (Proficient: 10.1%), Palm Thunder (Proficiency: 47.4%), Ghost Control (Beginner Level·Temporary), Blade Slash (Not Proficient: 7.2%), Ghost Control (Not Proficient: 6.1%)’
All his skills had improved in proficiency, and Fang You, having used ‘Diligence and Hard Work’ several tis on Basic Swordsmanship and Palm Thunder, attributed the 0.2 increase in physicality largely to his swordsmanship training.
Overall, his combat strength hadn’t increased dramatically, but his fighting experience had enriched a great deal, and Fang You felt more at ease when dealing with Mysterious Evils.
But the most important thing was…
Awakening!
“After these days of relentless effort, my Mystery value has finally accumulated to one unit, allowing to perform the ritual for my Awakening.”
“Only with Awakening, I am qualified to confront truly powerful Mysterious Evils, to have the power to protect myself in this world that is gradually sinking into corruption.”
Now, my turn, Awakening!
