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

They're high school students.

Especially right after the college entrance examination.

I chose a humanities major.

During exams, test questions tend to nitpick over word choices.

So I cut back.

Something was off.

"Director Zhao's topic has gotten a bit heavy without us realizing it, but this is indeed the daily reality of our Demon-Slaying Bureau. Sacrifices can happen at any time, so if anyone can't accept this, please get up and leave!"

The award ceremony was hosted by Ding Kong, the head of the assessment department.

After Zhao Yunlong finished speaking.

He looked at the crowd.

To outsiders they call it the Mysterious Investigation Bureau, but internally, many older generations actually use the name "Demon Slayer Bureau."

The audience was completely silent.

No one left.

"Next, we will proceed with the second item on the commendation ceremony: awarding medals and certificates to all the Awakened who have passed the assessment. From this point on, you will officially become trainee special envoys of the Demon Slayer Bureau."

Soon, according to the list, everyone stepped forward to receive a black ID card.

The front is printed with the national emblem, and the title page contains three inspiring sentences.

If demons and monsters arrive, I will stand guard at the nation's gates, spear in hand, pointing towards the darkness, my iron armor stained with blood.

If demons run rampant, I will forge a Great Wall with my spine, make boundary markers with my bones, and suppress the nine netherworlds with my soul.

[When the heavens and earth crumble, I will surely use the Kunlun Mountains as a blade to cleave through chaos and restore order to the world!]

As I read...

My blood was surging as if it were boiling!

Looking at the words passed down from the Demon Slayer Division, Meng Yan couldn't help but sigh, these older generations truly had spirit!

"Brother Meng! I finally got my documents! Am I dreaming?"

After receiving the certificate, Li Zhichun was so excited that his hands trembled.

Really.

It's too illusory.

He was truly afraid that today was just a beautiful dream!

"Look at you, so pathetic. It's just getting a certificate. By the way, Fatty, are we done here and can we leave now?"

Seeing Li Zhichun holding the documents to his chest as if he had just married a new bride, Meng Yan rolled his eyes.

He was also curious whether it was finished.

"What?! It's been withdrawn?! Brother Meng! You forgot your divine weapon gift pack?! That's the highest-level reward! It was supposed to be distributed in the main office behind the awards hall!"

Upon hearing the word "withdraw," Li Zhichun immediately became excited.

The divine weapon gift pack belonging to Brother Meng has not yet been distributed.

"Huh? Here? I thought this divine weapon gift pack was also something I could claim from the warehouse later."

Meng Yan had just heard that the team that received the reward could present their excellent credentials through the Mysterious Investigation Bureau APP to collect their gift pack from the warehouse.

He figured his divine weapon gift pack was the same.

I never expected that the awards would be distributed by the General Office of the Awards Hall.

"This is a divine weapon! The highest reward for a newly awakened cultivator! How could it possibly be in the warehouse!"

as predicted.

End of the meeting.

The new recruits left the scene after the assessment.

Meng Yan, Li Zhichun, and the others were taken to the general office by Zhao Yunlong and Ding Kong.

[Entry successful.]

[Information: Team 6 of the Southwest Regional Bureau of Mystery Investigations' assessment on June 15th of this year.]

[Captain: Meng Yan.]

[Team Member: Li Zhichun]

[Note: Divine Weapon Gift Pack No. 0018.]

"Xiao Meng, the 0018 Divine Weapon Gift Pack means you are the 18th Awakened to receive a Divine Weapon-level rating since the system's inception. You've really brought honor to our Southwest region this time! We also look forward to you contributing your own strength to the stability of the Southwest region soon. Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, Zhao Yunlong. I'll answer them to the best of my ability!"

In the general office.

The Divine Weapon Gift Pack will be issued after the information is entered.

Zhao Yunlong looked at him with satisfaction.

He's decisive and efficient, and he'll use any means necessary to achieve his goals. The more I look at him, the more I like him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Director Zhao. May I ask where I can collect the 50,000 yuan for joining the organization and the money for slaying the demon puppet?"

Meng Yan received the divine weapon gift pack and found that it contained only two crystal-clear pills.

Where's the money?!

One hundred and thirty-six is ​​136,000! Add to that the 50,000 who joined the organization, and the total is 186,000!

Where can I collect it?!

urgent!

"You can see it by logging into the Mysterious Investigation Bureau app, kid. The reward has already been sent to the squad leader's account."

Zhao Yunlong has thought about countless questions.

The only thing I didn't expect was that this kid would ask this!

However, after conducting a background check, it was discovered that the boy's grandfather was hospitalized, so it's understandable that he was desperate and concerned about money.

Could it be that this kid cleared out the demon puppets just because he could get a 1000 yuan reward for killing one?!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlong felt a pang of heartache. Demon puppets, each one cost them hundreds of thousands to train!

"Oh, thank you, Director Zhao!"

Meng Yan opened his app and saw a prize of 186,000 yuan. He only needed to enter his bank card number to withdraw the money.

My heart was instantly filled with joy!

The old man is saved!

They even saw hope for a liver transplant!

The old man had liver cancer.

A liver transplant is the only hope for survival.

Unfortunately, liver transplants are too expensive, costing between 40 and 150 million yuan.

He, as a student, simply couldn't raise that much money.

But now he has hope.

"You're welcome. Actually, besides the kind of question you just asked, feel free to ask me anything you don't understand at work or if you need any help."

Seeing Meng Yan's delighted expression, Zhao Yunlong nodded.

"Director Zhao does actually have one."

He had been worried about how to get in touch with the higher-ups of the Secret Investigation Bureau.

Then they were told about the human-faced snake.

Seek help.

Unexpectedly, he obtained the assessment level of "Divine Weapon" by a twist of fate, and was even valued so highly by Director Zhao himself. He could take this opportunity to mention it.

The main problem is that this thing is hidden in the dark.

See it from a dream.

Many family members of demon slayers from the Demon Slayer Division died at its hands.

The method of the massacre was very covert.

He was terrified that the human-faced evil snake would transform into a doctor, nurse, or caregiver and kill the old man, his only family member in the world!

"Yes, Xiao Meng, please go ahead, don't be shy."

Zhao Yunlong guessed that it was most likely about the uncontrollable power within his body.

I'm sure this kid has noticed something.

His eyes turned red when he killed the demon puppet.

I can't control myself at all.

"It's the human-faced evil snake that I chopped up last night. I have a feeling that I didn't kill it completely, and I want to investigate it thoroughly."

The first time I entered a dream.

He honestly didn't know if it was true or not.

Therefore, we need to investigate.

If this is true, then we must eradicate it completely to prevent a repeat of the tragedy of the Demon Slayer Bureau in history.

"Oh... I see. Last night's human-faced serpent was a celestial demon. You were only able to kill it by sheer luck, as it was in its metamorphosis stage and had no combat power. Therefore, I don't recommend that you investigate matters beyond your capabilities. If you insist on investigating, trainee special envoys are treated the same as regular special envoys in terms of missions. Just select the reconnaissance mission on the app later. If you need local cooperation, show your identification. If you discover pollution, call headquarters immediately. Under no circumstances should you take action on your own, as this is a forbidden entity, and one wrong move could lead to utter destruction!"

Zhao Yunlong said with a solemn expression.

According to what Lao Chu said.

The human-faced evil snake has existed since the Tang Dynasty.

It's like they can't be killed or exterminated.

And each time it appears, it has transformed a little more than before.

This kid devoured the human-faced evil snake, which may mean he established some kind of connection with it.

Perhaps we can uncover the secret behind the snake problem that has plagued the country for thousands of years.

However, it is equally extremely dangerous.

"Gurgle—"

Li Zhichun, standing to the side, was already furious.

Hallucination?

Brother Meng killed the Heavenly Demon!!

That's a celestial demon!

After evil spirits, vengeful ghosts, ghost kings, and great demons, comes the celestial demon!

Even if they have no fighting power.

That's a celestial demon!

This is something an ordinary awakened being couldn't possibly do!

"A forbidden sequence? Director Zhao! What is this forbidden sequence?!"

Meng Yan was taken aback by Zhao Yunlong's answer.

This word has appeared again!

And it matches the name of the Demon Suppression Tower, but what does it actually represent?

……
