Eight o 'clock at night, Qi City's Special Affairs Department headquarters.
At this time, the base was on full alert. Squads of Special Affairs Department members in black suits with swords, shields, and badges were already waiting. They lined up in a square formation on the field of the base, silent and solemn.
Not long after, Mo Xing, the director of Qi City's Special Affairs Department, walked towards them. Behind him were three deputy directors of the Special Affairs Department, Principal Zhang of the Engineering Rehabilitation College, and some of the rehabilitation students.
Whether it was Mo Xing or the people behind him, they all had the same solemn expression on their faces. They followed behind him with firm steps, and no one made any unnecessary sounds.
Mo Xing stood in front of the Special Affairs Department members.
The rehabilitation students behind him, as if they had practiced this many times before, quickly ran to the left of the Special Affairs Department's square formation and lined up.
Mo Xing adjusted his glasses. The lights from afar shone on his glasses, reflecting a cold light.
His eyes revealed a chill, "Everyone, today you will be carrying out a difficult mission! Many of you may not make it back, some of you may not even have your bones left! "
At this time, no one made any noise. Everyone just listened in silence.
"In order to win any war, there must be sacrifices! No one is an exception! What we are facing now is the most difficult war of survival! Everyone, from the old to the young, from the dying to the newborn, must have the awareness of sacrifice! Not for anything else, but for the sake of being human! "
At this point, he glanced at everyone's expression and stopped encouraging them. Those who did not have a strong will and were afraid of sacrifice would have long been eliminated from tonight's mission.
"The Truth Department has just sent an emergency notice. Nets Above Snares Below Snares Below Snares Below has detected the occurrence of the 77th Special Event. There is a powerful unusual creature that is extremely good at camouflaging. It is extremely aggressive and cruel, and it will descend on Qi City at 12 o 'clock tonight. This event will be the first time in the two years since the establishment of Qi City's Special Affairs Department, that we will carry out an official clean-up mission independently! "
Mo Xing's eyes were cold. "No one should underestimate it! Even if it is only one, and we have 123 people on this mission tonight! "
"Its power is completely different from bullets! In a densely populated city like this, no heavy weapons can be used. Therefore, you can only use special light weapons, and these special weapons may not be effective against it! "
"You may have to use your own body, your own life, to replace the sacrifice of the people. All of you are either Adepts or have undergone preliminary cultivation. Your life force and mental strength are much more exuberant than ordinary people. Your attraction to it is also much greater than ordinary people. "
At this point, he suddenly bent down and bowed to everyone.
"I thank all of you, especially after you've grasped supernatural powers, you're still not afraid of sacrificing yourself. Especially those Adepts who took the initiative to participate in this operation. It's very rare, and the effect of the re-education project is remarkable. After this incident, your credit rating will be upgraded, and you can live freely in this city, as long as you report your whereabouts regularly. "
Then, he opened his mouth and said to Principal Zhang, "Principal Zhang, please say a few words for everyone."
Principal Zhang looked at the people in front of him. All of their faces were so young, and many of them had attended his classes before. He had made things difficult for them many times. Wherever his three-piece suit went, no one dared to defy him.
But at this moment, he didn't want to say anything. He didn't want to attend any more lessons.
Because he knew that for many of these people, this might be the last time he would see them.
Those Adepts who were willing to participate in the operation, perhaps some of them were hoping to get lucky, or perhaps they were going for freedom. But no matter what, since they were participating in the operation, it meant that they were prepared to sacrifice themselves.
"All of you must come back."
That was all he said, and it was hard for him to continue.
"Follow the plan, let's go!" After Mo Xing finished speaking, he was the first to walk out.
Among everyone, other than the old Principal Zhang, who was still standing in the same spot, everyone else followed without exception.
Principal Zhang watched the backs of these people leave one by one. Even though he was weather-beaten, he couldn't stop the tears from falling from his eyes. He stretched out his hand and waved it at their backs, muttering, "All of you, must come back …"
Those people had already entered the darkness, and not long after, the sound of an engine starting could be heard in the distance.
But Principal Zhang still stood there without moving. Even though it was already late autumn and winter was approaching, and the night wind was cold, he still stood there, watching the direction in which those people had left …
… …
Vigilante A knocked out a burglar with a slap and shook his head. Ever since he farmed a big monster and leveled up, he often fell into standby mode. Most of the time, he could only cultivate in isolation, cultivate his skills, and polish his vital energy.
The System said, "The monsters are getting fewer and fewer by the day, why don't we get a few yellow names?"
Fang Ning was having a good time reading his novel, but when he heard about the serious matter, he still hurried out. He was afraid that he would be disconnected from the internet.
Fang Ning said, "Alright, I'll listen to you, Sir System."
The System said, "Let me look at the System Map first. This one, no good, it's too dark and too small, it doesn't have any experience points. This one, it's bright enough, and it's big enough, but there's no red in it. Looks like it hasn't done any evil, farming it will greatly reduce its Chivalrous Attribute …"
Fang Ning said, "Let me know when you're done choosing …"
After a while, the System finally finished picking, "He's the one. It's not big, and it's not bright, but there's a hint of red in the yellow, and purple in the red, so it must have done a lot of evil. The experience points won't be much, but at least it'll earn a lot of Chivalrous Reputation. It'll be good to activate the Chivalrous Reputation Module earlier, then I can increase my strength."
Fang Ning said, "As long as you're happy, Sir System …"
…
In a dilapidated residential building in the east of Qi City. Inside a normal family's room.
The floor was covered in blood red, and a strange heptagonal pattern was outlined on the floor. There were seven corners, and each corner depicted a human face. They were either happy, angry, sad, or worried, and it gave off an eerie feeling.
At the center of the seven corners, a man in a black robe was kneeling. He held a dagger in his hand, and blood was dripping from the dagger. He was chanting something …
Vigilante A suddenly appeared behind the man without a sound.
The man was so focused that he was still chanting, "The Sacrifice of Seven Emotions, summon the Demon Lord …"
Fang Ning, on the other hand, did not even show his head, letting Sir System take over.
When Sir System controlled his body and Vigilante A entered the house through the window, he was frightened by the strange atmosphere in the room. He put down the novel he was reading and hid in the blacksmith's forge in the System Space.
It could not be helped, this was obviously some kind of strange ritual, and it was of the supernatural side. It was one of the types that he was especially afraid of.
Speaking of which, he had slowly realized that the world was becoming more terrifying. If Sir System did not take over his body, he would not dare to come out after dark.
Sir System did not feel scared at all. It controlled Fang Ning's body and did not look at its surroundings. Without saying a word, it floated behind the man and slammed its palm on the top of the man's head.
The man fell to the ground with a thud, his brain splattered, and he died a clean death.
Fang Ning was scared, but he was also confused, "Huh, why did you kill the yellow-named monster without me?"
The System said, "Oh, when we first came in, you were so scared that you hid in my blacksmith's forge. That guy's color on the System Map was already turning purple … Looks like you're afraid of it. But I'm curious, the last time you met the snake demon, you were more afraid than before. Why didn't the snake demon turn red? "
Fang Ning's fear subsided as he talked to Sir System, "Of course, she wanted to marry into my family. As long as I don't anger her, there's no threat. This guy looks like someone who wants to launch an indiscriminate attack, and he's playing so many tricks that will make me think too much … "
The System said, "Alright, the experience points were not much, but the Chivalrous Reputation increased a little too much. It's a little strange."
…
The field of the Special Affairs Department. Standing on the field, Principal Zhang, who was originally waiting for the members to return, was in a daze.
All the members returned in one piece after two hours. Other than the sweat on their foreheads, they did not seem to have lost a single hair.
"How did you guys finish the mission so quickly? Didn't you say that the monster would only descend at 12? Did you guys kill it before it appeared? "
Mo Xing was speechless.
The deputy director of the Special Affairs Department said, "Principal Zhang, this is what happened. After we set off, we rushed to a general location provided by the Truth Department and set up our defenses. After a while, the Truth Department sent us an emergency notice, saying that the powerful, cunning, and cruel abnormal creature was wandering around but couldn't find the coordinates to descend. It won't come for at least a week. "
Principal Zhang said, "That means that the monster is lost …"
