"Meng Chao, hello!"
At that moment, a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.
Meng Chao looked up and saw a man with a baby face and black hair. He was not tall, and he was smiling at him.
Meng Chao blinked and was certain that this person was the elite who had swung a thin blade that was like a clothesline during the intense underground battle and released hundreds of silver saber glares. His killing intent did not lose to Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu's.
Once he put away his spirit energy, his hair returned to its normal black color. His sharp killing intent and the oppressive presence of a powerful fighter disappeared without a trace.
At that moment, he looked like a worker who had just graduated and was gasping for breath because of the heavy workload. He could be seen everywhere in office buildings and was at the beck and call of the leaders.
"Instructor Ye!"
Lu Siya stood up.
"Sit down. You've been holding on for a long time just now, and your spirit energy is drained. You have to rest well so that you don't end up with any sequelae."
Instructor Ye waved at Lu Siya before he turned to Meng Chao and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Ye Xiaoxing from the intelligence analysis department of the abnormal beast research department.
"When Siya was training in the abnormal beast research department, I taught her for a period of time, and we became pretty good friends.
"I also participated in the case where you fought against the White Spirit under Raging Waves and prevented the Red Radiance Jade mine from exploding.
"That's why your name has been ringing in my ears for a long time. I've been looking for a suitable chance for Siya to introduce us to each other, but I didn't expect that we'd end up in such a pathetic state during our first meeting. I even wasted the clue you found after so much trouble, and the culprit escaped. It's really … awkward!"
Ye Xiaoxing looked embarrassed.
"I only had my suspicions, but I didn't have any proof, so I didn't waste any clues," Meng Chao quickly said. "I mobilized so many people based on my instincts and even asked you to personally take action. This trust alone is enough to make me feel touched."
Ye Xiaoxing smiled wanly and said, "Investigating the activities of highly intelligent monsters that threaten Dragon City's safety has always been the job of the abnormal beast research department. The abnormal beast research department didn't do much during the White Spirit incident and the case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise. Instead, we had to rely on Meng Chao, who's an outsider, to turn the tide and investigate the case. I'm really ashamed of myself.
"But don't worry, Meng Chao. The abnormal beast research department won't let down the clues you obtained after much difficulty. We will definitely investigate Gao Ye and the organization behind him. Your contributions to Dragon City in these two cases won't be buried either. You will definitely receive the honor and rewards you deserve."
Meng Chao had never doubted this.
Even though the mastermind behind the White Spirit had not surfaced and the case was still under investigation, Meng Chao's contributions could not be fully publicized.
But the abnormal beast research department had indeed rewarded Meng Chao with a large amount of monster materials, gene medicine, and treasures through Lu Siya.
Meng Chao was a harvester, and when it came to identifying materials, he had an eye that surpassed the current era. Naturally, he could tell that the abnormal beast research department rewarded him with rare materials of the best quality. They were the type that could not be bought in the market even if one had money.
With the gene medicine and monster materials, not only had Meng Chao cultivated his 1,024 branch meridians until they were crystalline and incredibly sturdy, they could allow more spirit energy to instantly pass through them. Even though he was just a two-star superhuman, he could still unleash the fighting strength of someone at the peak of Earth Realm.
He had also given some of the materials to his personal tutor, Gu Jianbo, so that Gu Jianbo's path of becoming a Blade Dancer in isolation would be smoother.
Meng Chao knew that the abnormal beast research department was rich and did not lack money. They would not be stingy with providing him with material stimulation.
But he still had to be polite. "Honor and rewards aren't important. I wonder if Big Sis Ya has mentioned to you before, but I'm actually a person with great ambitions. I don't care about fame and wealth, and I don't ask for material rewards. I just want to contribute more to Dragon City.
"Compared to material rewards, I hope to come into contact with more information regarding highly intelligent monsters. In fact, I want to participate in related cases so that I can cut off all the evil hands that are trying to invade Dragon City. I want to get rid of these monsters who possess human intelligence and defend Dragon City's peace!"
Ye Xiaoxing could not help but smile at his bold words and the 100% sincerity in Meng Chao's eyes.
"Siya has indeed mentioned to me that you're … a very different young man."
Ye Xiaoxing scratched his head full of hair. "Originally, the abnormal beast research department's system doesn't allow us to reveal too much inside information to normal citizens, but the White Spirit Case and the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise are both related to you. You're also the last person to come into contact with Gao Ye, so we can't completely exclude you from the investigations.
"How about this, Meng Chao? Let's talk about what happened today. If you don't mind, why don't we start from when you found Drizzle Studio?"
This was how it should be.
Meng Chao did not have anything to hide. He described everything from the start to the end in detail.
Of course, he hid the fact that he had seen the second Supernatural Entity in his nightmare a long time ago.
Ye Xiaoxing listened to him patiently. Unless it was necessary, he did not interrupt Meng Chao.
Sometimes, he would ask questions, but they would hit the crucial points and help Meng Chao organize the entire matter.
They talked until late at night, but they still wanted to continue.
"How about this, Meng Chao?"
Ye Xiaoxing's gaze when he looked at Meng Chao was filled with admiration. "You and Siya spent too much energy in today's battle, and you need to rest.
"I also need to investigate more clues and apply for a higher level of authority before I can carry out follow-up operations and reveal more core information to you.
"I hope that you can keep what happened today a secret for the time being. Once more clues about the case surface, I'll ask for your help."
Investigating the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities had always been Meng Chao's goal.
He agreed to it readily.
Once Ye Xiaoxing left, Lu Siya smiled and said, "Instructor Ye seems to admire you a lot."
"A good young man like me who doesn't seek fame and loves contributing to society has always been admired by a lot of people. But judging by how respectful you were just now, is this Instructor Ye really good?" Meng Chao said.
"He's the person-in-charge of the intelligence analysis department in the abnormal beast research department. Of course he's good," Lu Siya explained.
"The research department is divided into more than ten operations departments based on the regions in Dragon City. Each department is in charge of a region. The firefighters around us are part of the special service team in Nine Sands Region.
"The intelligence analysis department is in charge of cases that are suspected to be related to abnormal beasts.
"Most of these cases end up being false alarms in the end. They're either the work of evil superhumans or normal monsters.
"But there are a handful of cases where abnormal beasts are hiding behind the scenes. They usually involve abnormal beasts with high intelligence and ill intentions, and they pose a major threat to Dragon City's safety.
"The intelligence analysis department is the core department of the abnormal beast research department. Either they don't investigate it, or when they do, they usually end up with shocking cases.
"So, not only are the people in the intelligence analysis department all extraordinary people, they can also mobilize the people and resources of the special service teams in the regions.
"Someone who's in charge of this department is definitely not someone easy to deal with."
"I see," Meng Chao said.
Meng Chao said. "You managed to invite such a powerful person over? Looks like you're really influential."
Lu Siya shook her head. "It's not because of me, and it's not because of you either. It's just that after I reported the situation to Instructor Ye, he instantly came to the conclusion that you were right and that there was definitely something wrong with Spirit Creation Creatures. That's why he rushed over as fast as he could, but unfortunately, he was still half a step too late.
"If we had arrived earlier or if Instructor Ye's older brother had been here, it would have been great!"
She looked like she was really regretful.
"Who's his older brother?" Meng Chao asked.
"He's a real elite," Lu Siya said.
"Do you remember that when we escaped from the underground under Raging Waves, we saw an Apocalyptic Beast that looked like a mammoth, but someone used a really thin longsword or a large embroidery needle to pierce its brain and kill it on the spot?" Lu Siya asked.
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath. "Of course I remember. That was the most unbelievable wound I've ever seen in my life."
"The person who killed that Apocalyptic Beast was Instructor Ye's older brother, Broken Sword, and he's Deity Realm superhuman, Ye Xiaoyue," Lu Siya said.
"He's a truly amazing person. I heard that he once set the record for the longest time fighting alone in the wild, but he was also heavily injured during his decades of killing. His incomplete body parts were even worse than Gao Ye's.
"But with an unbelievable secret technique and his incomplete body parts, he activated a peerless vitality magnetic field and became the pillar of support in the northern frontlines.
"Unfortunately, this amazing person has an ugly appearance and a surly personality. He's the type of sword fanatic who has nothing else in his heart but the path of the sword. He also needs to train in isolation for a long period of time in the Supernatural Tower to avoid the risk of spirit energy deviation. It's not suitable for him to promote himself in a grand manner, which is why he's not famous.
"But everyone in the field knows that Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue is one of the strongest fighters in Dragon City.
"Instructor Ye has always been outstanding in his ability to analyze information. He also has an older brother who can make up for his lack of fighting strength, so it's only natural that he becomes an important figure in the abnormal beast research department.
"He might look ordinary, but what happened today left a pretty good impression on him. It'll be beneficial for us to get in touch with more core secrets. We might even be able to participate in the follow-up investigation of the White Spirit Case."
