After all, Chu Yao's soft and weak appearance was too different from the burly and bald image in the game. The five high-ranking government officials found it hard to believe that she could deal with the ferocious freaks.
"I can do it!"
Chu Yao affirmed.
"My master actually had a premonition that Shanghai would be invaded by freaks a long time ago. He told me that those freaks came from other planes and descended in Shanghai because of the orders of the Sly Emperor.
"According to their strength, the freaks are divided into low-level freaks, mid-level freaks, high-level freaks, and Sly Generals. Above them might be the Sly Emperor …"
Chu Yao used her master's mouth to tell everyone all the information she had found out in the game last night. The more the old woman and the other four listened, the more serious their expressions became. In the current situation where they knew nothing about the freaks, every piece of information Chu Yao said was extremely precious. They carefully memorized it one by one.
"Since you have the confidence to deal with the freaks, that's for the best."
After Chu Yao finished telling them all the information she knew about the freaks, the middle-aged man with slightly white hair spoke after some deliberation.
"You and your master are the only two people in the country who are known to possess extraordinary powers. Only you two can directly eliminate the freaks. Now that your master is in a state of disconnection, the hope of dealing with the freaks can only fall on you.
"During your operation, Constable Chai will be your deputy. At the same time, all the departments in Shanghai will fully cooperate with you. If you have any needs, just ask us!"
Hearing that the five of them had given her such great power and mission, and that even Chai Jin, who was a famous constable in Shanghai, had become her deputy, Chu Yao was instantly flattered. However, she did not decline and agreed immediately.
"No problem!"
Therefore, from that night onwards, Chu Yao became the legitimate master of exorcism. She had the entire Shanghai government supporting her.
She did not want her parents to worry, so she did not tell them that she wanted to get rid of the freaks. Chai Jin understood her, so he directly contacted the principal of the high school Chu Yao studied in the name of the Shanghai government and secretly applied for a long vacation for her.
Other than that, Chai Jin also transferred all the cases of the strange cases that had happened in Shanghai over the past two days from the government and led Chu Yao to the crime scenes.
This line of thought was very correct. The probability of there being freaks at the scene of those strange cases was very high. On average, out of every four crime scenes, there would be at least three freaks.
There was no need to talk about the fate of those Anomalies. Regardless of whether they were Elementary Anomalies or Advanced Anomalies, they were all annihilated by Chu Yao's surging Fa Li.
Now that Chu Yao's exorcism operation had received the full support of the government, she no longer needed to use the Invisibility Spell to hide her tracks. She could use all her magic power to deal with the Anomalies without wasting any of it.
As Chu Yao's assistant, Chai Jin could not see the existence of the freak, so naturally, he could not see the process of the freak being destroyed. Every time he saw Chu Yao hit the air with her palm, followed by a huge scene of destruction with an explosion of bricks. Then, she would tell him that she had dealt with the freak.
As for whether or not Chu Yao was lying to him, he didn't know. He could only believe whatever she said and help her deal with the aftermath.
Just like that, Chu Yao spent a total of seven days in Mo Du. During these seven days, her footprints had covered every corner of Mo Du. Hundreds of Strange Creatures had died in her hands.
The direct impact of this was that the number of strange cases in Mo Du had plummeted.
In the beginning, thousands of strange murder cases would happen in Mo Du every day. However, after seven days, only a dozen strange murder cases would happen in Mo Du every day.
Such an obvious change made Chai Jin and the Mo Du government very happy. They understood that this was all thanks to Chu Yao. Mo Du, which had been in a state of panic because of the freaks, gradually returned to its former tranquility.
However, this tranquility was broken seven days later.
On this night, seven days later, Chai Jin, who was riding a helicopter with Chu Yao to the scene of a strange case, suddenly received a call.
"Constable Chai, a fire suddenly broke out in the Western Pearl Tower. Thousands of people are trapped inside. The cause of the fire is unknown. It is suspected to be caused by a freak!"
The police officer on the other end of the phone urgently reported to Chai Jin.
Chai Jin's heart skipped a beat. The Western Pearl Tower could be said to be the most densely populated area in Mo Du. It was the focus of the whole world. If there was a freak arson there, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Head to the Western Pearl Tower immediately!"
Without hesitation, he ordered the pilot to turn around.
Chu Yao was sitting upright beside him. She was wearing a military uniform exclusive to the government and a large black helmet on her head, completely covering her face.
In order not to expose her identity during the operation and affect her real life, Chu Yao had been dressed like this when she went out to eliminate the freaks.
Her face, which was hidden under the helmet, was very serious at this moment. She realized the seriousness of the situation. The mana in her body quietly circulated, ready to take action at any time if she saw any freaks.
The helicopter Chu Yao was riding was a military helicopter. Its power system was many times stronger than a civilian helicopter. In less than half a quarter of an hour, they arrived at their destination.
Looking from a distance of thousands of meters, the Western Pearl Tower, which was regarded as a landmark of Mo Du, had turned into a terrifying torch that was hundreds of meters tall. The raging fire illuminated the night sky. Dozens of fire trucks were constantly spraying water into the sea of fire, but they could not stop the fire at all.
"How did it catch so much fire?!"
Chai Jin was shocked. The scale of the fire was far beyond his imagination. Countless mournful cries came from the sea of fire, and from time to time, figures would fall from high places.
Chai Jin was not sure whether this fire was caused by a freak or not. For a moment, he did not know what to do. Moreover, he was only a constable, not a firefighter. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Chu Yao.
With this look, he was so scared that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He saw Chu Yao jump down from the helicopter without wearing any landing equipment. Like an arrow, she shot straight toward the Western Pearl Tower that had been reduced to a torch.
"Is she that brave?!"
Chai Jin was stunned.
What he did not know was that the reason why Chu Yao jumped into the sea of fire without hesitation was because she sensed an abnormally strong and strange aura from the sea of fire. She was not unfamiliar with this aura. She had also felt it when the Sly General was summoned that night.
"Could it be... that there's another freak sacrificing the lives of ordinary people to summon the Sly General?"
Chu Yao's heart was burning with anxiety. She wanted to stop this sacrifice immediately.
That night, she was able to kill the Sly General in one hit because she had the divine weapon bestowed by the owner of the Internet cafe. Now that she was in reality and did not have the divine weapon with her, if the Sly General appeared again, she did not have the confidence to deal with it.
"We must not let them summon the Sly General!"
Chu Yao said anxiously in her heart. Just as she was about to plunge into the sea of fire, suddenly —
"Boom!"
