"It's been a long ti since I've seen such a clear night sky!"
The bright full moon and twinkling stars adorned the Sky Vault. The cloudless night sky was as clear and translucent as if washed with water.
Chu Feng, standing by the window, was admiring the beautiful starry sky when suddenly his gaze sharpened, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
In the sky, several faint cracks appeared out of nowhere and quickly vanished with ti.
If his vision hadn't long surpassed that of a normal human, he might not have noticed the anomalies in the night sky.
At the sa ti, a barely audible thumping sound suddenly rang in Chu Feng's ears, ethereal and almost imperceptible.
"What is this?" As the familiar cracks reappeared, an oppressive feeling suddenly erged in his heart.
THUD. THUD. THUD...
The dull thumping sounds kept erging, and the faintly visible cracks in the night sky also reappeared ti and again.
It was as if there was a giant behind the night sky attacking a wall.
For so reason, Chu Feng's mind suddenly conjured up the image of the underground base in Portland, that finger from Hell.
Could it be that behind that patch of sky was the owner of that finger!
CRACK.
As Chu Feng was lost in thought, amidst the nurous dull thumping sounds, a crisp cracking sound suddenly erged.
His heart tightened, and he imdiately looked up at the night sky.
But the sky, which had been intermittently showing cracks, was now intact, without any sign of anomalies. Even the cracks that had regularly appeared before were now gone without a trace.
Knowing sothing must have happened, Chu Feng stared intently at the night sky, afraid of missing anything.
But in the ti that followed, the dull wall-hitting noises did not reappear. Until the sun rose, he did not see any trace of the cracks again.
It was as if the crisp breaking sound had been an illusion.
"Sothing definitely happened!"
Chu Feng, who had been standing quietly by the window all night, didn't show the slightest sign of fatigue; instead, his expression beca even more solemn.
If the thumping noises and the cracks no longer appeared, could it an that the other party's goal had been achieved?
「...」
"A mission from Maine?" Chu Feng's surprised voice echoed in the office.
Looking at Taran nodding in front of him, he slowly sat up straight.
If he rembered correctly, Mary Shaw had been there! And he wondered about the final outco of the nuclear bomb he had suggested deploying.
"Yes, and they specifically requested that you personally complete this mission," Taran said as she handed a docunt to Chu Feng.
"Hmm? They want to act?" Chu Feng's interest was piqued. He opened the docunt, wanting to see what the situation in Maine was that required his presence so urgently.
After all, on the firm's current price list, Chu Feng's price for completing a commission was in the hundreds of millions.
For ordinary Bizarre events, those stingy state governnts certainly wouldn't want to spend so much money.
As Chu Feng read through the docunt, his eyes gradually narrowed, and the smile on his face quickly faded.
"Puppet Billy? A doll?"
Looking at the photo on the docunt, he imdiately realized that Mary Shaw had sohow survived the nuclear attack.
Her strength was likely as he had initially anticipated; she wasn't soone he could have dealt with back then.
"However, now might be a good ti to give it a try!"
Looking at the various Attributes on his system panel now, a smile appeared on the corner of Chu Feng's mouth.
If things went smoothly this ti, he should soon be able to take another step toward advancing to Second Rank.
SNAP. Chu Feng closed the file and looked up at Taran, nodding as he said, "OK, I'll take this commission!"
Taran wasn't surprised by Chu Feng's answer. With a calm expression, she took out another docunt and handed it over.
"These commissions are from the New York State Governnt. Do you know about them?" she asked, staring intently at Chu Feng's eyes, her question laden with implications.
Seeing Taran's seemingly perceptive deanor, Chu Feng couldn't help scratching his head.
Could it be like Jefferson? Has soone else been exposed? Follow current novᴇls on N0veI.Fiɾe
Chu Feng's puzzled look only made Taran more certain of her guess.
Soone inside the New York State Governnt must have been bought by Chu Feng! And that person's position is probably not low. Otherwise, how could the New York State Governnt be so cooperative with the firm's work, never posing any difficulties? Even many of the simple but lucrative commissions ca from the State Governnt. Other Exorcist organizations have never received such treatnt.
"Alright, you don't need to answer; I pretty much understand!"
Taran smiled and waved her hand dismissively. She indicated it was enough for everyone to be aware, without needing to know the details too precisely.
"By the way, please thank that person from the New York State Governnt on behalf of the firm's Exorcists for these quality commissions."
After leaving these words, Taran swiftly turned and left the office.
She still had to check with Maine's State Governnt to confirm if there were any new changes to the commission.
"Wait! What do you understand? Whom should I thank?"
Chu Feng, sitting in his chair, was sowhat baffled by Taran's last words.
That person from the New York State Governnt? Who could it be? He couldn't recall! Besides the people in the State Legislature, he hadn't paid much attention to others, had he?
Shaking his head, Chu Feng stopped pondering Taran's last comnt. Suddenly, the sunlight shining on his desk attracted his attention.
"This light... has it changed sohow? Why does it seem sowhat red?"
He looked around but couldn't find anything that could be casting a red glow.
CLICK. The door to the office suddenly made a sound as Taran returned, having just left.
"Chu Feng, take a look outside quickly. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it seems like sothing has happened to the sky," said Taran, her brows furrowed as she hurried to the office window.
「At the sa ti,」
New York City's City Council had just unanimously passed a construction proposal: "The Last Day Safe Zone Project."
The proposal aid to prevent a potential large-scale resurgence of the Bizarre in the future.
However, it was clear that so citizens of New York State did not approve of this proposal.
They gathered in front of the Parliant Building, holding banners and loudly protesting. Their argunt was that the State Governnt had the money and should use it to properly develop infrastructure. In their view, this so-called "The Last Day Safe Zone Project" was nothing more than a tool for politicians to embezzle funds.
As the crowd in front of the building continued their uproar, the Parliant Building's doors suddenly opened, and the legislators walked out one by one.
If it weren't for the police officers with guns forming a human wall to hold back the surging crowd, these suddenly enraged citizens might have rushed forward to teach these "damn bastards," as they saw them, a lesson!
Legislator Julia, who had just walked out of the Parliant Building, shook her head at the chaos outside.
"It seems New York State has protected so people too well!"
