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

"An army is raised for a thousand days to be used in one battle! Damn it! Even if I die, I will protect this land I love beneath my feet!!"

Zhao Yunlong clenched his fists.

Chu Gang remained silent.

He agrees!

Because the Bureau of Mystery Investigations has to hold on.

Once you fall, this land beneath your feet will never be at peace again.

There are many clear examples abroad.

In the present state of Taixu, ordinary people can live peacefully on the surface, but in reality, there are many leaders like Lao Zhao!

The Trial Grounds.

The Xiaotou squad is gone.

In fact, when Yuan Hua had her token taken away, Shadow Blade and Blood Butcher had already turned and left.

Because if any of the three examiners has their token taken away, it's equivalent to the end of the assessment.

The gist is that this is certain.

This was also a profound lesson.

In actual combat, Yuanhua would probably have been decapitated.

Ten minutes later.

The Southwest Regional Bureau of Mysterious Investigations, in its ancient and solemn awards hall.

All those who passed the assessment took their seats.

And at the very front.

Two seats are still available.

"Damn! That cripple's luck is just too good!"

That was the first place in this assessment, and Shenbing got a spot in the team.

Everyone was green with envy.

Divine weapon!

That's the highest praise, surpassing even "excellent" and "outstanding"!

If I had known that Brother Awesome was this good, I would have been better off teaming up with him back then.

Looking at those burning gazes, Li Zhichun felt a little uncomfortable; in fact, he was quite embarrassed.

I didn't do anything.

I was really carried to success by Brother Meng.

Moreover, I don't have much to give Brother Meng.

I sat in the first row.

Li Zhichun felt his buttocks were a little hot.

"Congratulations everyone, you have successfully passed our Bureau of Mysterious Investigations' new recruit assessment. From today onwards, you will become special assigners of mysterious cases!"

A middle-aged man of medium build, with a square face, strong features, and sharp angles walked over and pointed at the crowd below, speaking in a loud voice.

"I am Zhao Yunlong, the deputy director of the Southwest Regional Headquarters of the Mysterious Investigation Bureau, also known as the Demon Slayer Bureau. You can call me Director Zhao or Old Zhao! Today, I will be recognizing and awarding you with medals!"

Zhao Yunlong's voice fell.

Applause erupted from the audience.

Meng Yan was also sizing up Zhao Yunlong, the deputy director, who was of medium build and had a hearty voice.

Although I look older now, and there are some signs of aging on my face.

But I believe he must have been a handsome young man in the surrounding area when he was young.

I need to find a way to get in touch with him later, report on the human-faced evil snake, and try to get the Demon Slayer Bureau's assistance.

Cut that old bastard off completely!

"But before I give the commendation, I, Lao Zhao, would like to say a few more words."

The conversation turned.

Meng Yan frowned.

So, are all leaders really the same?

Back in school, the principal would often nag about it during every meeting.

She can go on and on for half an hour or an hour.

It makes people sleepy.

He almost wanted to yawn just from hearing the word "nagging".

"What are you rambling about? Rambling about demons, rambling about the history of our Mysterious Investigation Bureau. Throughout history, demon invasions have occurred intermittently. In the ancient Taixu Kingdom, those responsible for such incidents were called the Demon Slayer Division. Cultivators who absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after tempering their bodies were called rogue cultivators outside, but when they were formally registered, they were called demon slayers. They maintained the stable operation of normal society, completely isolating ordinary people from the low-probability demons and strange events."

Zhao Yunlong is just like an old teacher giving a lecture.

The solemn and dignified awards hall was deeply moving.

"Um?"

Meng Yan, who was just about to doze off, was startled. He was wide awake at the mention of this!

Although he was born with a demon-suppressing tower.

But he had never encountered any demons. If he hadn't awakened last night, he would have even doubted the authenticity of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Therefore, he was eager to know what kind of world this was.

And this is Director Zhao's chatter.

What might be verbose to an awakened being who already knows, is nothing short of a treasure trove of wisdom to him.

"But just eighty years ago, monsters and strange events were no longer rare occurrences."

At this point, Zhao Yunlong paused for a moment.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Because this content is also very new to everyone.

Why are strange and supernatural occurrences no longer considered low-probability events?

What exactly happened eighty years ago?

"A cloud of impenetrable fog, the size of a cruise ship, appeared out of nowhere in the Bermuda Triangle, which was known as the Devil's Triangle. Later, scholars named it the Turbid Domain."

"Since the emergence of the Turbid Domain in Bermuda, various countries around the world have also begun to experience Turbid Domains of varying sizes. At the same time, attacks by monsters and strange events have become more frequent, and the level of disasters has become increasingly higher. In order to find out the relationship between the Turbid Domains and monsters and strange events, countries around the world have successively sent a large number of cultivators, martial artists, and top scientific researchers to investigate the first Turbid Domains by taking cruise ships, airplanes, and submarines. However, without exception, they have all disappeared... As one of the world's major powers, many scientists, cultivators, and martial artists in our Taixu have also become martyrs."

Zhao Yunlong's tone was deep and serious.

He didn't originally intend to say these things.

But now, turbid domains are beginning to appear within the territory.

In fact, everyone will soon be going to the battlefield.

It's good to be mentally prepared in advance.

"hiss--"

After hearing these words, many people at the scene gasped in shock.

They learned about the Bermuda Triangle from books.

It's just that many ships, planes, submarines, and detectors have gone missing there.

But I never expected it to be for this reason.

"To date, the Turbid Domain has polluted 99% of the world's countries, and even destroyed some small countries, turning them into food for the demons. However, due to the internet firewall and what we call rising sea levels, it has not caused much of a stir among ordinary people."

When Zhao Yunlong said this, Meng Yan immediately recalled the news he had seen on TV before.

So the so-called rise in sea level and the destruction of nations are because they were polluted by the turbid realm!

Just how many things is this world still hiding from ordinary people like them?

The yellow State Grid maintenance vehicle actually belongs to the Secret Investigation Bureau!

Sea level rise caused some countries to be submerged. At that time, geography class analyzed ocean currents, plate tectonics, and glacial melting, but the result was that a turbid region appeared, and monsters and evil spirits caused the destruction of the country.

If you don't wake up, you might never know it in your entire life.

After all, foreign networks are blocked by firewalls.

Except for a select few, people cannot access foreign websites at all.

As a student, he didn't even know where the entrance was.

It is also hard to imagine that the global situation has become so dire, with 99% of countries completely polluted by the turbid realm, and many humans becoming prey for the demons.

He awakened the Demon-Suppressing Tower at the age of zero, but it took him a full eighteen years to activate. If he had been abandoned in a polluted country, he probably would have awakened long ago.

But then I thought better of it. What if I encounter a powerful monster? Wouldn't I have to start over right after awakening?

"Fortunately, for some reason, as of last month, Taixu Kingdom was the only country in the world without any Turbid Domains appearing within its borders; it was only that group of demons from the past thousand years that were causing trouble."

"But no one can guarantee that we won't be massively contaminated someday. However, I imagine that before that happens, these demons and monsters will be walking on the corpses of our Demon-Slaying Bureau soldiers!!"

Zhao Yunlong's words were powerful and resounding!

In an instant, everyone stood up.

"Clap clap clap—"

The applause was incredibly loud.

The blood within an individual is also boiling.

Meng Yan was clapping, but then she realized something was wrong.

Why is it up to last month? Does this mean the turbidity has already started to appear this month?
