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

"Alright, we will look into the situation from multiple angles. As for the resurgence of demonic energy on the Day of the Dead that you learned from the Human-Faced Evil Serpent, we will report that immediately."

After more than an hour of questioning, the investigators left with a somber expression, carrying the documents with them.

no doubt.

With Uncle Hong's cooperation.

Hu Qiang, the arrogant resident special commissioner of Nanshan District, died in vain.

And they completed their first task.

Unfortunately.

The Yin Snake was not recognized as a celestial demon by the Divine Investigation Bureau, but was only identified as a fierce ghost-level evil spirit, and received 5 yuan and 10 merit points.

A gas explosion occurred at the City Comfort Hotel on Sanjie Street in Nanshan District, Qingzhou City, resulting in two deaths...

On the phone.

A news item has been released.

It's obvious that the logistics department put in the effort.

He used to read this kind of news.

He was still talking about it.

Please be careful with gas safety.

Now, countless ellipses are inexplicably appearing.

As for Zhao Liang's girlfriend with the round face, Meng Yan only then learned that the logistics department had a memory-erasing potion for different people.

After using it, she will forget the memory, but there is a side effect: in very rare cases, it may appear in the form of a dream.

It's roughly equivalent to having a nightmare.

But in reality, that was true.

"Mengyan, the tools are ready! See you at six tonight, let's be the vanguard in breaking down feudal superstitions!"

WeChat.

A voice message arrived.

Add two pictures of baseball bats.

It's my good buddy Qian Jiang.

[Investigation into the disappearance case at the Hongzhong Hotel on June 12]

Three people have mysteriously disappeared recently from the Hongzhong Hotel in downtown Qingshan District…

And this moment.

Meng Yan was currently browsing the mission lobby.

My gaze suddenly fell on a task.

No, what is this guy doing at 11 or 12 at night instead of sleeping?

The investigation did not take place back at the base, but rather at the No. 2 special office building of the National Security Bureau in Qingshan City.

The investigation ended at 11 or 12 at night. Uncle Hong went home and took Fatty out for barbecue.

I'm browsing the quest lobby to see what quests are available.

As luck would have it, I stumbled upon the case of the disappearance at my best friend's family's Hongzhong Hotel.

Then Qianjiang also sent a message at this time.

[Investigation into the disappearance case at the Hongzhong Hotel on June 12]

"A bizarre disappearance occurred at the Hongzhong Hotel in the center of Qingshan City on the evening of June 12."

One person went missing in the elevator, and two people disappeared in room 704. No clues such as skin flakes, fingerprints, hair, or footprints were found at the scene. Of the three missing persons, one person simply vanished without a trace. The two people who stayed in room 704 mentioned strange noises to their relatives and friends via phone and WeChat, such as a baby crying and a mirror in the bathroom emitting a red light.

Background: Before the disappearance, guests who had stayed in room 704 had also reported that the room was strange, including being unable to leave after entering and seeing red lights at night.

Meng Yan was carefully reviewing the task.

Judging from the description, the Hongzhong Hotel, which Qianjiang's family recently acquired, is probably not just a hoax, but is actually haunted.

But it doesn't matter.

I'll cut the price and withdraw the money tomorrow night.

With a thought, Meng Yan conjured a yellow talisman in his mind.

[Enhancement Talisman: Forged from a human-faced evil serpent (yin), it can temporarily enhance the Five Ding Woodcutter's Blade into a mountain-splitting divine blade, increasing its base combat power a hundredfold, capable of shattering mountains with a single strike!]

[Note: Side effect: There is a certain probability that the body will resemble a snake after use.]

This is a treasure he obtained by refining the Yin Serpent in the Demon Suppression Tower.

A strengthening rune.

Through this rune, Meng Yan learned that the Five Ding Woodcutter's Knife could be upgraded into the Mountain-Splitting Divine Knife, which could increase combat power a hundredfold.

Not bad.

But this hint...

Meng Yan hadn't paid much attention to that little hint before.

But ever since the Demon-Binding Rope required a strong mental state, or perhaps that mental state, Meng Yan began to take this hint seriously.

First, there are side effects.

It's normal for something so powerful to have side effects.

But the side effect... after use, will the body become like a snake?

What do you mean?

Meng Yan was dumbfounded!

By the way, are all the things refined by the Demon Suppression Tower flawed?

Or is it that this human-faced evil snake is more sinister?

Consciousness exits.

Qianjiang

Meng Yan: Steady!

Meng Yan replied to Qian Jiang with a single word.

I also checked my team's information.

"Subordinate Team: Trainee Squad"

Rating: None available.

"Captain: Meng Yan (Trainee)."

Team member: Li Zhichun (trainee)

"Squad Wallet: 50000 yuan. (Settings can be made)."

"Squad Merit Points: 10. (Settable)"

The most important thing, of course, is the team's wallet.

Being the team leader has one advantage: you can set the allocation of money and merit points.

The previous main task was actually the "survey of remaining pollution in Heqiao Ancient Town".

This task, aside from being counted as completing a probationary member's promotion to a full member, does not yield any money or merit points.

Money can only be obtained by slaying demons.

Meritorious service is also included.

For example, if you kill a demon-level monster, your team will have 1 yuan in their wallet and 1 point in their team's merit.

The human-faced evil serpent (yin serpent) that they have now slain has been classified by headquarters as a malevolent ghost.

They gave him 5 yuan and 10 merit points.

[Team Distribution Method: Team Wallet Merit Points can be distributed in two ways: the team leader sets the distribution themselves, and the system automatically distributes them evenly. [Settings]]

"Fatty, I'm a bit short lately..."

Meng Yan plans to withdraw the money.

"Brother Meng, you were the one who completed today's mission, and you were the one who killed the human-faced evil snake. You can take all the money and merit points; you don't need to give me any. I'm already very grateful that I could do missions with you."

At the barbecue stall, before Meng Yan could finish speaking, Li Zhichun interrupted while eating skewers.

To become a full member, one needs to complete 10 tasks.

Without someone to guide me, it's uncertain whether I can even complete a demon-slaying mission.

After all, he's a support-type martial artist, so he'll stay in the back and help others recover some stamina.

Not to mention that Brother Meng also gave him a top-grade Body Tempering Pill, allowing him to quickly reach the Spirit Spring Realm.

He would be willing to work for him for free—no, I should say study with him for a hundred years—for such a debt of gratitude, and he would even have to beg Brother Meng to reduce his tuition fees. How could he possibly ask for money to slay demons?

"That still won't work. Even if you didn't make any great contributions, you still put in a lot of effort. So, I'll give you 80% and you 20%."

Meng Yan directly clicked to allocate the team's wallet.

As the team leader, I receive 80% of the share, while team member Fatty receives 20%.

After all, after dealing with Hu Qiang today, Fatty also did his best to help him get out of the quagmire, and even came to the Divine Investigation Bureau to be investigated by headquarters.

Therefore, some things cannot be counted as demon slaying. Just like the Divine Intervention Bureau, although the Logistics Department does not participate in demon slaying, it is an indispensable part of the whole process.

"Brother Meng, this... how about you order something a little more expensive, like a bottle of Moutai? Otherwise, my conscience won't allow it!!"

Upon seeing the notification that his wallet had been quickly credited to his account, Li Zhichun stood there stunned.

That's so loyal.

The best thing I ever did in my life was to become friends with Brother Meng instead of being his enemy. Brother Meng is as ruthless to his enemies as he is loyal to his friends.

Brother Meng will always be loyal!!!
