The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

What surprised Shen Ge was that Shen Ge didn't recognize any of the anti-terrorism agents sent by the Dajing Special Policy Department to support Australia.

However, Shen Ge didn't know them, but they naturally knew Shen Ge. Their reputation as the first pair of strange detectives in the Great Celestial Empire was unquestionable.

Upon learning that Shen Ge was resting in the hotel due to exhaustion from killing a ghost king, the first thing these ghost agents did when they arrived at the base was to visit him in the guest room.

After some meaningless pleasantries, Shen Ge only remembered that the leading detective was called Chen Jing, but he didn't remember a word of it.

After everyone left, Xiao Qi immediately compared the faces and retrieved the information about the spy that Deng Yuqi had previously revealed from the database, and found the person named Chen Jing.

Chen Jing was originally a soldier in the Dajing Special Strategy Department's Ghost Energy Mechanical Unit. Later, he was promoted to captain because of his achievements in several battles against ghosts. Apart from that, no other information could be found. Even Xiao Qi used Deng Yuqi's authority and broke into the database of the Dajing Special Strategy Department but could not find any relevant information. This shows how high the level of confidentiality is.

Originally, Shen Ge had no interest in this supporting team, but when their information was kept confidential to such an extent, he had to be cautious.

In the afternoon, Wilson sent his confidant to invite Shen Ge to a celebration banquet and told him that he would present him with a hero medal at the dinner.

The banquet is jointly hosted by the International Anti-Ghost Organization and the Australian Anti-Ghost Organization. Australia's current Prime Minister Anidon will attend with his wife and personally present hero medals to the soldiers who participated in this anti-ghost operation, giving them the highest level of rewards.

The dome of the Sky Ballroom of the Australia International Hotel slowly opened, and artificial aurora flowed outside the seven-layer bulletproof glass. Two hundred and eighty-eight Swarovski crystal chandeliers were like inverted glaciers, projecting blue and gold spots of light onto the 100-meter-long gilded dining table.

In addition to the anti-terrorism agents and Australian officials who came to support Australia this time, there were also politicians and celebrities from dozens of countries who passed through the security gate with invitations in hand. Each guest had to go through three anti-terrorism scans and would only be allowed in after being confirmed to be safe.

"This is the most expensive anti-ghost security system of this century... It is said to be able to perfectly defend against attacks from fifth-order ghosts, and can even withstand frontal attacks from sixth-order ghosts..." A reporter from Australia International Weekly held up a camera to film the flashing ghost energy barrier at the entrance and introduced it to the audience in front of the screen.

At this time, a team of guards came running in an orderly manner from a distance. After lining up, they raised their guns and saluted at the same time. At the end of the red carpet, Shen Ge walked towards the banquet hall under the guidance of Wilson's confidant.

"Entering now is the Great Celestial Empire's most famous first ghost detective—Shen Ge. He led the anti-ghost operation in Australia this time. He killed a ghost king that is suspected to be at the seventh level and successfully conquered the ghost fog area in the northern two-thirds of Australia..." The reporter's voice trembled. He was extremely excited to see this world-renowned anti-ghost detective. He wanted to rush up to him, take a picture of him in the face, and interview him at close range.

But he knew that as the most important person at this celebration banquet, if he dared to treat Shen Ge like this, the guards next to him would shoot him.

After Shen Ge entered, a circular water curtain suddenly rose in the center of the banquet hall, and a holographic projection reproduced the heroic scenes of this anti-ghost operation recorded by Emily.

Shen Ge's red mist armor tore through the flesh and blood sky, and his strange energy heart exploded into a rain of stars in the resonance of the sound waves.

When the picture froze on his back standing with a knife in hand, the symphony orchestra suddenly played a newly composed heroic piece of music, echoing throughout the banquet hall.

As the protagonist of this banquet, Shen Ge was surrounded by people, many of whom were toasting him, trying to establish connections with him, and taking the opportunity to get to know this hero.

Mark squeezed into the crowd with a glass of wine in his hand. The hero medal he had just received was shining with golden light. He knew very well that being able to "survive" and get this hero medal was largely due to Shen Ge's credit.

So Mark was also very tactful and immediately raised his glass to toast Shen Ge.

On the other side of the venue, Wilson, chief commander of the International Anti-Ghost Organization, tapped his wine glass. This simple action was transmitted through the smart watch, and all the holographic screens in the banquet hall instantly switched to Shen Ge's tactical files - the column of kill counts densely displayed his heroic record this time.

"ladies and gentlemen--"

Wilson's voice resounded throughout the banquet hall through the loudspeaker, and he raised his glass: "Let us raise our glasses to our hero, Captain Shen Ge! He brought back not only victory, but also... hope for the survival of all mankind!"

After the toast, a sharp whistle sounded in the air. Everyone looked up and saw twelve military shuttles flying over the glass dome and forming a formation in the night sky. This was the highest etiquette of the Australian Air Force, just to thank Shen Ge, the hero who saved them.

Afterwards, the drone group changed its formation in the air, forming a huge "red mist armor form" picture.

The celebration banquet officially began, and the waiters began to distribute special desserts. The chocolate lava cake was made into an exquisite shape that looked very high-end at first glance, regardless of whether it tasted good or not.

"Mr. Shen!"

The editor-in-chief of Australia International Weekly squeezed through the crowd and wanted to interview Shen Ge up close: "It is said that you finally used sound waves to control..."

Before he could finish his words, other reporters around asked questions, and the security personnel immediately took action to block them to avoid ruining Shen Ge's interest.

At the same time, a circular light curtain suddenly descended from the second floor of the banquet hall, and the world's most popular singer walked onto the stage and began to sing for Shen Ge.

When the singing reached its climax, all the lights suddenly focused on Shen Ge - the carpet under his tactical boots was oozing with dark fungal carpet patterns. This was a tactile device specially prepared by the banquet designer. As Shen Ge walked, it collapsed and shattered, as if showing everyone that wherever Shen Ge went, the strange thing would fall apart.

"..."

Isn't that a bit exaggerated?
Shen Ge couldn't help but complain in his heart. To be honest, he never dreamed that the International Anti-Ghost Organization and the Australian Anti-Ghost Organization would give him such a big show, making him look like a savior hero.

"You should say something." Emily walked behind Shen Ge and handed him the headset.

"..."

say what?
Shen Ge really wanted to complain that you are making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger. The Special Policy Department of Rong City has held no less than ten celebration banquets before, and he basically just said, "Everyone eat and drink well."

The Special Policy Department of Rong City is his home, and everyone is happy to do whatever he wants.

But now we are on the international stage. If he dares to do this, it will be the Special Policy Department of Rong City who will lose face.

Fortunately, classmate Xiao Qi was there and directly generated a "standard answer" for him. Shen Ge only needed to "interpret" it according to the script with emotion.

"cough."

Shen Ge coughed lightly and was about to start his speech, but the originally bright sky suddenly darkened and an abnormal sandstorm came up.

"How is this going?"

"Why did the weather change?" "Sandstorm?"

“Why are there sandstorms in central Australia?”

"No, it seems to be the strange black fog!"

"..."

The sudden change in weather made everyone alert.

Wilson immediately controlled the glass dome through his smart watch, closing the seven layers of strange bulletproof glass at the same time.

"Everyone, please be patient. The detection department is investigating the specific situation." Wilson said to everyone in the banquet hall through the loudspeaker.

Shen Ge noticed that Professor Martin walked towards Emily with a heavy face. After saying a few words to her, the two of them left the banquet hall with the research team, probably to go to the research department to investigate the situation.

At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the seven layers of strange bulletproof glass on the dome, and everyone saw in horror that a sudden sandstorm hit the windows.

The black strange energy fog gathered in the sky and turned into a giant hand that slapped the seven-layer strange energy bulletproof glass. With a muffled sound, the aquarium dozens of meters high in the banquet hall exploded.

The sea water washed into the banquet hall, carrying the fish in the aquarium. At this time, cracks had appeared on the strange energy bulletproof glass above, and wisps of strange energy black mist squeezed into the banquet hall.

Soon, all kinds of fish in the aquarium were rapidly mutated by the strange black fog, and the fastest changes were among the giant octopuses.

The tips of their slender tentacles "poof" and burst into chrysanthemum-like "carnivorous plant flesh and blood petals", which flew rapidly towards the surrounding banquet participants.

Fortunately, half of the people attending the banquet are anti-spooky agents. The frequent occurrence of strange events in recent years have made them develop the habit of carrying strange equipment with them even when attending banquets. Faced with sudden changes, they can immediately engage in battle.

"Everyone, don't panic. Please retreat in an orderly manner to the open space on the right, away from the aquarium. We will have professional anti-ghost agents to handle it." As the highest commander of the Australian branch of the International Anti-Ghost Organization, Wilson has seen all kinds of big scenes. Even though the speed at which the fish, shrimp, crab, octopus and other aquatic products have transformed has exceeded the speed of any previous strange incident, he still calmly commanded everyone.

Shen Ge was surrounded by the most officials and reporters. After all, there were several news agencies broadcasting live. Shen Ge represented the entire Great Celestial Empire against the Gui tribe, so he naturally could not stand by and watch them perish.

He just raised his hand, and the red mist armor activated. The blood threads were woven into a giant net to catch the fallen ceiling debris, but it could not cover up the screams that came one after another.

Affected by the erosion of the strange black fog, terrible things happened one after another. The ermine fur of a certain princess grew disgusting tumorous eyes, and the "golden belt" of a certain chieftain melted into liquid parasites strangely.

The most terrifying one is the Wall Street tycoon Kroll. His prosthetic limbs inlaid with strange energy inhibitors suddenly bent in the opposite direction, piercing him while quickly transforming into a humanoid monster.

"It seems that this is not a simple accident..." Shen Ge said in a deep voice as he looked at the chaotic banquet hall.

He smelled a putrid odor in the air, the same stench as the boiling culture medium in the heart chambers.

Through Xiao Qi, Shen Ge received a terrible news almost at the same time as the base commander Wilson. The disaster area that had been restored due to the death of the mother ghost king was now shrouded in thick black fog of ghost energy, which was even several times thicker than before!
Because the speed at which the strange energy black fog spread this time was faster than ever before and came so suddenly, even the base of the international anti-terrorist organization's Australian branch was affected.

The hotel where the dinner was held was only two kilometers away from the base, and at this time one could even hear long alarms coming from the direction of the base.

A century-old tree planted against the outer wall of the base was now affected by the strange black fog and was undergoing changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The surface of the tree trunk was covered with throbbing tumors, each of which was wrapped with fragments of chemical protective clothing that had not been fully digested. Its roots pierced into the research department below the base like tentacles, and in just a few minutes, all the researchers and guards in the research department were slaughtered.

"Captain Shen, something happened at the base!" Emily ran into the banquet hall in a panic, saying breathlessly.

In fact, as early as when the strange incident happened, Xiao Qi, who had been monitoring the cameras in the base and the hotel, told Shen Ge about the situation.

The floor tiles in the banquet hall suddenly cracked, and the plants planted around the hotel mutated, growing flesh and blood tentacles that broke through the floor tiles and poured into the banquet hall.

"Please follow the command and follow the defense team to retreat to the safe room in an orderly manner!" Wilson's voice echoed in the banquet hall.

But when the monster appeared, the officials who had never encountered such a close encounter with the weirdness first became chaotic and wanted to flee the banquet hall. However, they did not know that after causing the riot, they would fall into the mouth of the "flesh-eating petals" of the rotten tentacles even faster.

At the same time, anti-ghost detectives from various countries have also used all their skills to fight against these "plant-type" monsters.

Among them, the Dajing Special Strategy Department, which had just arrived at the Australian base, was particularly brave against the strange agents. Under the leadership of Chen Jing, they gradually controlled the situation.

Shen Ge noticed that Chen Jing's armor was 80% similar to the Red Mist Armor. It was not that its strength caught up with the Red Mist Armor, but its appearance and operating mode.

The difference is that Chen Jing's armor is a set of black nano armor, which looks more "advanced" than the red fog armor-like strange energy armor of the Special Policy Department of Rong City.

However, unlike the ever-changing red mist armor, Chen Jing's nano armor has a strange energy sword on the left arm, and the right arm can condense a round shield. It seems that there are only these two weapon forms.

But the strange flesh and blood tentacles hit Chen Jing, causing a crack in his armor, which was repaired almost in the blink of an eye.

Shen Ge found it a bit strange. Logically speaking, the Dajing Special Strategy Department secretly developed this kind of powerful battle suit that imitated the Red Mist Armor. According to their habit, they should have kept it hidden. But they revealed it right after the fight started. This was inconsistent with the previous style of the Dajing Special Strategy Department.

Shen Ge even had a feeling that these anti-spooky agents from the Dajing Special Strategy Department were here "specifically" to demonstrate this new type of spooky energy armor!
Shen Ge deliberately slowed down the frequency of attack, secretly using the "invisible barrier" of the strange domain to block the flesh and blood tentacles that wanted to attack him, and led them towards Chen Jing's team.

Chen Jing seemed to really want to fully demonstrate the power of the strange energy armor. He took on the attacking flesh and blood tentacles and quickly controlled all of them.

The weirdness that attacked the banquet hall this time was mainly the rapidly mutating fish, shrimp, crabs and octopuses in the aquarium, as well as the vine tentacles extending from the ground.

The strange black fog that filled the sky seemed to have played a "catalytic" role, and the strange fog hand only appeared once...

"There is a problem." Shen Ge narrowed his eyes, his gaze slightly downcast, and looked at Chen Jing in the distance. (End of this chapter)
