He started by brutally defeating the demon lady, and the passersby were terrified!

Southwest Regional Headquarters of the Mysterious Investigation Bureau.

The heavy alloy gate slowly opened amidst mechanical noises.

Behind the door was a straight passageway. Meng Yan walked in, like a stray dog ​​entering the city.

The silver-gray metal walls, the cool white light strips lighting up in sections, and the occasional blue light sweeping across the ground create a futuristic atmosphere, just like being in a science fiction movie. Everywhere you look is filled with a sense of technology.

Inside the investigation bureau, everyone was wearing the same black SWAT uniform as Cheng Yun and Song Wei.

"Meng, this is the registration area. The staff will register you. Just follow their instructions. We'll go hand over our work now and won't stay with you any longer."

Song Wei said to Meng Yan.

"Thanks--???"

Meng Yan turned around, about to say thank you, when she found that the two of them had vanished in a flash!

He even ran so fast that his legs left afterimages!

Is it really necessary?!

far away.

"Sister Song! It seems like he's thanking us!!"

The moment I entered the base.

My tense nerves finally relaxed.

They chatted while wearing masks the whole way, afraid that this madman would switch to schizophrenic mode.

"Dream on! He meant 'shit'! Get out of here! People who look all refined and polite are the scariest!!"

Song Wei accelerated.

"It really is Sister Song!!"

Cheng Yun suddenly realized.

Song Wei is a year older than him and is the team leader of the outing team.

You have a truly discerning eye!

Cheng Yun almost mistook this for a thank you.

Mysterious Investigation Bureau, Deputy Director's Office.

"Old Zhao, your prized young man has arrived. Would you like to bring him over for a chat?"

A small, low table.

A bottle of old wine.

Two small dishes.

Zhao Yunlong and Chu Gang were drinking.

Today is a day of survival.

If it weren't for the fact that the human-faced evil serpent was in its transformation period, and that this fearless young man hadn't charged forward with his sword to finish it off even when facing scorching black flames, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Hahaha! No rush, no rush. This kid has to take the assessment tomorrow, we can meet again then."

Zhao Yunlong said with a smile.

I felt incredibly happy.

After all, he thought he was going to die, but who would have thought he would be spared?

At the same time, this kid is also incredibly lucky.

He actually managed to withstand the possession by the human-faced evil serpent, and even absorbed the serpent and tempered himself a second time because he had just tempered his body. He was actually looking forward to seeing what kind of results the serpent would get in tomorrow's assessment.

"Truly one in a million! Hopefully, he can suppress the human-faced evil serpent on the forbidden sequence!"

Logistics Minister Chu Gang raised his glass with a somewhat profound look in his eyes.

This human-faced evil serpent's luck was truly the worst. During its transformation, its lair was discovered, and it unleashed its full power, enveloped in black flames. A reckless young man, unaware of what black flames were, rushed over, slashed it into several pieces with a knife, and then charged to possess and devour it. But the young man survived, and having just awakened his body tempering, he himself was devoured, becoming the raw material for the serpent's second body tempering!

Normally, awakening and absorbing the power of heaven and earth to temper the body is itself a form of devouring.

It's like swimming in an outdoor pool, and a bolt of lightning strikes, just as you're about to jump in, soaring into the air.

Anyone on land or in water would die!

Their luck is off the charts!

However, according to cutting-edge research results from abroad, there is still a possibility that it may be affected.

The human-faced evil serpent is no ordinary monster; it is a terrifying existence within the forbidden sequence.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao's raised wine glass froze in mid-air.

Front desk.

Meng Yan's registration information.

"Mr. Meng Yan, are you sure you want to take the assessment tomorrow? All Awakened individuals who register to join the Mysterious Investigation Bureau can go to the Scripture Pavilion to receive a basic cultivation technique. Most people practice for a period of time before participating in the assessment, as this way, their strength will be greater and their scores will be higher. Today is June 15th. The newcomer assessment is normally held at any time within sixty days from the date of awakening, and your time can extend to August 15th at the latest."

He was greeted by a female staff member wearing glasses.

When the other party saw that he had chosen to take the test immediately, they kindly offered some advice.

For those who awaken at this point in time, completing two months of training and then undergoing the assessment is the most advantageous option.

"Can I obtain the basic cultivation techniques from the Scripture Pavilion?"

Meng Yan's eyes lit up.

Is this what the national team is like?!

"Yes, the library opens at 10:00 AM. Just go in and collect your scriptures then. Do you need to postpone your assessment?"

The staff member nodded.

"Ten o'clock? Never mind then! Let's not postpone it, the assessment will be tomorrow!"

Meng Yan waved his hand.

The old man needs money.

The hospital is waiting for payment!

I wanted to receive the cultivation technique and wait until it was safer to take the exam, but the exam was scheduled to start at nine o'clock and the Scripture Pavilion wouldn't open until ten o'clock, so there was no solution.

Let's take the exam first and see what happens!

"Alright, Mr. Meng Yan, here is your registration gift package. All new recruits will be staying in the apartment building in Zone D. The assessment will be at 9:00 AM tomorrow. You still have eight hours to rest as soon as possible."

The front desk staff handed the items to Meng Yan.

Many people want to postpone the assessment.

After all, every extra day of training adds an advantage, and I've never seen anyone so eager to take the test right away.

"Thanks."

As an outstanding student representative, I still have good manners.

At this moment, Meng Yan received a set of clothes and a dormitory access card for room 503.

The dormitory is similar to the Home Inn and Hanting hotels outside, with simple layouts and double rooms.

I've finished washing up.

Meng Yan lay down on the soft bed, and before she knew it, a wave of drowsiness washed over her.

He went to sleep.

However, he did not know that after he fell asleep, his tightly closed eyes emitted a red light, accompanied by a golden demon-suppressing tower-shaped mark lighting up between his eyebrows.

The red light vanished in an instant.

Meng Yan entered my dream.

In a blur, he saw the twilight soaking the bluestone street, and an old house with its carved gatehouse covered with faded gilded "double happiness" characters.

It is Heqiao Ancient Town.

He actually came to Shenjia Village again, to the entrance of Shen's residence. The only difference this time was that the sky had turned red, and the red silk wrapped around the crooked willow trees looked as if it had been cut by a pair of scissors, scattered everywhere.

"Pat-pat-pat—"

A series of hurried footsteps pressed down on the white chrysanthemums sprouting from the cracks in the blue bricks, trampled over the fallen red silk that was covered in yellow mud, and the red lanterns with the character "囍" were swept away by a gust of wind, struggled a few times, and then crashed down. The loud thud startled the white-necked crows that had lived between the beams of the ancestral hall for ten years.

"Oh no! The Third Madam has jumped into the well!!"

In an instant, the entire Shen residence descended into chaos.

Meng Yan stood at the door, seemingly in a state of panic, yet also like a bystander. In a daze, he saw a woman in a wedding dress holding her breath and pressed against the wall.

"What? That old man died a long time ago? If the Third Madam finds out, won't she cause an uproar?"

"What are you talking about? If we can't get rid of the master's bad luck, the manor originally planned to let her be the master's husband in the underworld. That big bronze coffin was specially prepared for the two of them. When the time comes, we'll sew her mouth shut with blood thread, nail it with rivets, and bury her together."

"What a pity, such a beautiful girl."

……

The servants chattered amongst themselves.

A beautiful figure suddenly froze, wiped away her tears, broke free from the crowd, and jumped into the well without hesitation.

Her name was Liu Xiaoyu. She was originally a boatman's daughter, and she made a living by fishing with her father on the Qinghe River. But who would have thought that the local gentry, Master Shen Changming, would take a fancy to her and want to marry her as his third wife? Naturally, she would rather die than marry the old and withered man.

So they threatened her father's life and forced her to marry into the Shen family, making her Shen Changming's third wife.

Who would have thought that they had already killed her father, and even planned to have her buried in a ghost marriage if her wedding could not dispel the evil spirits and prolong the life of Shen Changming who was still on his last breath. They even prepared a bronze coffin for her.

Liu Xiaoyu could only resist by committing suicide.

"Is this about the female ghost's past life? But why am I being shown this?"

……
