After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Fan pointed to the spot next to the crow outside the window.

"Little Skull was afraid of scaring others, and worried that something might happen to me alone in the hospital, so he stood in a hidden spot outside the window, always on guard against the crow."

The little skull kept its eyes on it to prevent it from cursing me, which allowed me to recover in the hospital in peace.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo nodded slightly, got up, and was about to leave the ward. Before leaving, he made a promise to Zhuo Fan.

"Just focus on recovering in the hospital and don't worry about anything."

"I'll deal with this crow that's bothering you; it won't bother you again."

Zhuo Fan was slightly stunned upon hearing this, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He had followed Chen Zhuo for a long time and knew that Chen Zhuo was always aloof and rarely bothered to care about others.

Now that Chen Zhuo has stepped in to solve his problems, he feels especially at ease.

Zhuo Fan nodded emphatically, the lingering worry on his face completely disappearing. He obediently lay back on the hospital bed, no longer concerned about the crows harassing him outside the window.

"Brother, I'll get better soon, and then we absolutely have to have a good meal together!"

"it is good."

Chen Zhuo didn't say anything more and turned to leave the ward.

He gently closed the ward door, avoiding the medical staff and family members coming and going.

He walked alone to a quiet corner of the corridor and then pressed the intercom on his chest.

The communication was established quickly, and Wu Yu's voice came from the other end.

"Advisor Chen, what are your instructions?"

Without exchanging pleasantries, Chen Zhuo went straight to the point and briefly summarized Zhuo Fan's experience.

"Does the branch have any information about this crow?"

Before Chen Zhuo could finish speaking, Wu Yu's voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"Yes, Consultant Chen," Wu Yu replied frankly.

Wan Guanhai had told her that Chen Zhuoxiang had the highest right to know, and that he could tell her everything about the organization if he asked.

"The branch named this strange crow the Calamity Crow."

The Calamity Raven's abilities are not complex, but extremely deadly.

It actively seeks out targets, locks onto them, follows them, and inflicts curses upon them. The curses will come true one by one within a very short time.

Most importantly, the intensity of the curse increases progressively.

Initially, it's just minor bumps and falls, but as time goes on, the curse deepens until the target dies.

The calamity raven will only seek out its next target after the target dies.

Another very important point is that there isn't just one Calamity Raven. To be precise, there is one main body and multiple clones.

After the original body sheds its feathers, it can differentiate into new Calamity Ravens. The differentiated individuals are weaker than the original body, but their curse mechanism is exactly the same.

Another point is that we haven't found the true form of the Calamity Raven yet. We speculate that only by gathering a certain number of clones can the true form manifest.

"Such detailed information." Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo immediately asked Wu Yu, "Is the branch also keeping an eye on this crow?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Then Wu Yu's voice rang out again.

"Indeed, after the division's assessment, it was concluded that the curse mechanism of the Calamity Raven, from another perspective, is essentially a prophetic ability."

If we can subdue it, it will be like having an extra layer of warning when facing strange events in the future. The value of this ability in actual combat is immeasurable.

In fact, besides the branch offices, all the civilian organizations in Dachang City are also searching for traces of the calamity crow.

Wu Yu waited a few seconds, and seeing that Chen Zhuo remained silent, she tentatively spoke.

"Consultant Chen, are you also interested in the Calamity Raven?"

Chen Zhuo remained silent for a moment.

He quickly went through all the various items he had stored in his space in his mind.

He does possess things that allow for precognition, but the price of those things is increasingly outrageous.

In contrast, the curse prophecy of the calamity raven, although it sounds more dangerous, requires no cost to use.

"That's definitely an idea."

After pondering for a moment and weighing the pros and cons, Chen Zhuo gave a clear answer.

"Understood."

Communication was cut off.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Yu immediately transferred the line to the minister's office.

Wan Guanhai was sitting behind his desk processing documents when he heard the call coming in, so he casually pressed the answer button.

Wu Yu gave a concise report on Chen Zhuo's situation.

"Advisor Chen has made it clear that he wants to subdue the Calamity Raven."

Wan Guanhai put down the documents in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and fell into deep thought.

He knew better than anyone else how important Chen Zhuo was.

A highly capable and insightful advisor is an invaluable strategic resource, no matter where you are.

Although the calamity crow is precious, it's worth it to use it to do Chen Zhuo a favor.

Moreover, even if the branch intervenes, Chen Zhuo, with his abilities, probably won't be able to obtain the Calamity Crow.

Instead of doing that, it's better to proactively sell well.

Wan Guanhai made up his mind and reached out to press the full-channel communication button on the desktop.

"Attention all liaison officers, immediately notify your respective contact persons."

His voice was transmitted through the communication system to every liaison officer in the branch.

"From this moment forward, whichever team discovers any trace of the Calamity Raven, they shall do their utmost to assist Advisor Chen in subduing it."

I'll repeat it again! Give full support to Consultant Chen; there must be no mistakes.

Meanwhile, in the corridor outside the ward.

After finishing his business, Chen Zhuo turned and walked towards the ward.

He raised his hand and took out a bracelet from his spatial storage.

This bracelet appears to be made of animal teeth, with traces of blood still attached to it.

Chen Zhuo raised his hand to put the bracelet on his wrist and pushed open the door to enter the ward.

Zhuo Fan was leaning against the headboard, munching on an apple he'd somehow found, when he saw Chen Zhuo return and immediately asked in confusion.

"Hey buddy? What's up?"

He suddenly froze halfway through his sentence.

Because he noticed that the crow that had been perched on the security bars of the window and staring intently at him the moment Chen Zhuo re-entered the ward.

Suddenly turning its head, its crimson eyes immediately shifted from him and locked onto Chen Zhuo.

Zhuo Fan's gaze darted between the two, and he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Hey buddy, how did you do that? This damn bird's been staring at me all day, how come it only started staring at you when you came in?"

Chen Zhuo raised his right hand and casually shook the bracelet on his wrist.

The teeth on the bracelet clicked together, making a soft, crisp sound.

"This bracelet will increase the wearer's animal affinity."

However, it is now somewhat damaged and can only attract animals, but cannot eliminate their hostility towards me.

This bracelet was a reward Chen Zhuo received from the Bizarre Game after clearing the dungeon where Little Skull was located; it had helped him a lot in the game.

After Chen Zhuo finished speaking, he slowly walked to the window of the ward and pushed open the tightly closed glass window.

Then he stretched his bracelet-wearing hand out the window and waited quietly for something.

In just a few breaths, something unusual appeared in the sky outside the ward.

Zhuo Fan subconsciously looked up at the window, and when he saw the strange thing in the sky, his eyes widened immediately, his face full of shock and astonishment.

In the distant sky, a large, dark shadow was rapidly approaching the ward.

The dark shadows, like dark clouds, covered the sky and were so numerous that they looked extremely frightening.

As the blackness drew closer, Zhuo Fan finally saw what they looked like.

They were crows, one after another, completely black.

They swooped down in dense formation, the sound of their wings beating coming together like a low rumble of thunder rolling overhead.
