I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?
Chapter 121 This must be a wonderful thing
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have survived another day in this dangerous world. You have gained 1 attribute point!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully surviving multiple dangerous events. You have gained 116 attribute points!]
[Ding! Detected that the host achieved a perfect score of 1000 points in today's multiple dangerous events. A bonus of 100 points in Comprehension attribute is awarded!]
A series of system notifications rang in Jiang Luo's mind, leaving him completely stunned.
One hundred and seventeen attribute points?
There's also a 100-point enlightenment reward?
This damn system... why is it suddenly being so generous today?
Jiang Luo was a little confused.
Could it be because the monster incidents I dealt with today were particularly complicated?
Or is it because...
Did he eat that SSS-level [Mirror Nightmare] himself?
He was a little confused about the specific scoring criteria.
However, there's no point in overthinking it.
Having learned from past mistakes, Jiang Luo dared not delay any longer.
He immediately recited it silently in his mind.
"System, allocate 200 points to Defense, and put the rest into Strength!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your selection has been successful!]
[Host: Jiang Luo]
Strength: 472 (403+69)
【Speed: 224】
【Spirit: 307】
Defense: 200 (152+48)
Comprehension: 142 (42 + 100)
[Insight: 152]
Looking at the soaring attributes on the panel, Jiang Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
Defense reached 200, and strength approached 500.
This unprecedented sense of security eased his anxiety about Xu Niannian and Lu Yao somewhat.
The only thing that made him feel a little awkward was that comprehension.
This damn thing is almost as powerful as defense now, but he still doesn't understand what it's for.
What a complete waste of attribute points!
Just as Jiang Luo was internally complaining...
The screen in the temporary first aid area was turned on.
The older doctor who had performed the surgery on Xu Niannian took off his mask and walked out looking exhausted.
Seeing this, Jiang Luo quickly put aside all her thoughts and ran over.
He tilted his little face up, his voice full of nervousness.
"How is Niannian?"
When the doctor saw Jiang Luo, he was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Li Zheng not far away.
Seeing Li Zheng nod slightly at him, he squatted down and looked at the child in front of him who seemed no different from other children, yet exuded an eeriness.
"Don't worry." The doctor's voice was much gentler. "Although the child's injuries are severe, her constitution is very special, and her vitality is extremely strong. She is out of danger."
"All you need to do now is rest and recuperate, and you'll be fine."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Luo's tense nerves finally relaxed completely.
never mind.
Little Nose is alright now.
Since she's alright, then I... should get back to work.
He didn't want to wait any longer.
I don't want to for even a moment.
We must take advantage of the fact that my parents, Uncle Xu, and Aunt Su are still fast asleep to resolve all potential crises at once.
To prevent anyone around us from suffering such hardship again!
Jiang Luo turned to look at Li Zheng and spoke directly.
"I should get going."
Upon hearing this, Li Zheng perked up and straightened up from the wall.
"Okay." He nodded, then added, "I'll have Wang Chao take you there. The situation here is a bit chaotic right now. The deceased colleagues and ordinary people also need to be comforted and dealt with. I have to stay here to take charge."
Jiang Luo nodded in understanding.
Wang Chao, who was standing next to Li Zheng, also immediately stepped forward and walked to Jiang Luo's side.
The two didn't say anything more and turned to walk out of the testing room.
Jiang Luo stopped in his tracks as he passed by Lu Yao's hospital room.
The ghost child floated straight up like a pillar at the entrance to the ward.
Upon seeing Jiang Luo approach, it immediately straightened its invisible back, looking as if to say, "I haven't been slacking off; I've been standing guard diligently."
Jiang Luo looked at it and spoke softly.
"Ghost Child, I need to go out for a bit."
"Keep a close watch on this place until I get back. If anyone comes to cause trouble again, show no mercy, kill them all."
Upon hearing that Jiang Luo was going out without him, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in the ghost child's empty eyes.
But it quickly suppressed this emotion and nodded its head rapidly.
"Yes, Dad!"
"As your most loyal son, I will certainly complete the mission perfectly, so please rest assured!"
Jiang Luo ignored the drama queen and followed Wang Chao downstairs.
As the two arrived at the first-floor lobby, which had been reduced to ruins, they heard a sudden screech of brakes outside.
A black minivan suddenly stopped in front of the hospital.
The car door opened, and a familiar figure stumbled and ran out of the car.
It's Chen Xue.
She had clearly just received the news; her face was filled with anxiety and disbelief.
When she rushed into the hall and saw the mess and bloodstains on the ground, as well as Wang Chao and Jiang Luo standing in the middle of the ruins, she was stunned.
"Wang Chao... Director Zhao, he..." Her voice trembled.
Wang Chao looked at her, and his eyes immediately reddened.
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word; he simply turned his head away in anguish.
This action says it all.
Chen Xue swayed, as if all her strength had been drained in an instant, and collapsed to the ground.
She stared blankly at everything, her eyes vacant, tears silently streaming down her face.
The hall was deathly silent.
Jiang Luo looked at her and suddenly asked, "Aunt Chen Xue, do you have a younger sister?"
This sudden remark snapped Chen Xue out of her grief.
She looked up and stared at Jiang Luo in astonishment.
"Luo...Luo Luo, how...how did you know?"
"I've seen her." Jiang Luo's tone was very calm, as if she were talking about something very ordinary. "She's currently posing as a kindergarten teacher named Fan Yue, and she happens to be our class's new teacher."
Jiang Luo had no feelings for Teacher Fan Yue.
On the contrary, Aunt Chen Xue treated me quite well.
Therefore, he felt no guilt whatsoever about selling information about Teacher Fan Yue.
Chen Xue was completely stunned after hearing this.
She never expected to hear news about her sister, who had disappeared for several years, from Jiang Luo.
After a long while, she finally found her voice and whispered something to Jiang Luo.
"Okay, I understand... Thank you, Lolo."
Jiang Luo hummed in agreement, then looked at Wang Chao.
Wang Chao understood what he meant, walked over and patted Chen Xue on the shoulder.
"Chen Xue, Captain Li is in the testing room on the top floor. Why don't you go up and help him? I... I need to take Jiang Luo out for a bit."
Chen Xue wiped away her tears, looked at Wang Chao, and finally nodded.
She knew that now was not the time to be sad.
Then, Wang Chao took out his car keys from his pocket and opened the door of a black minivan.
"Get in the car," he said to Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo didn't hesitate and climbed up with her short legs.
The van restarted, turned around, and headed towards the southern suburbs of the city.
……
The atmosphere inside the car was very oppressive.
Wang Chao drove silently, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.
His gaze was fixed straight ahead, but his eyes were somewhat unfocused, clearly still immersed in immense grief.
Jiang Luo's small body could only sit in the back child safety seat. Her small body sank into it, but it was still quite comfortable.
He didn't disturb Wang Chao, but quietly watched the night view rushing past the window.
The city of Dongzhou remains brightly lit at night.
The streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians; everything seemed no different from usual.
No one could have imagined that not long ago, the guardians of this city had experienced a catastrophe.
Wang Chao's mind was in complete chaos.
Director Zhao's death weighed heavily on his heart like a boulder, making it hard for him to breathe.
He still remembers that when he first joined the Extraordinary Bureau and went on his first field mission, he almost messed everything up because he was nervous.
At that time, everyone was disappointed in him, except for Director Zhao, who patted him on the shoulder and said to him with a smile.
"Xiao Wang, don't be nervous. Your 'Heavenly Eye' ability is the most crucial link in the team. Our lives all depend on you. So, believe in yourself; you are far more important than you think."
That one sentence restored his confidence.
From that day on, he regarded Zhao Haidong as his most respected leader and elder brother.
But now...
The man who always sheltered them from the wind and rain, like a mountain, is gone.
He died from the betrayal and slaughter of his own people.
On what grounds?
Why would someone as good as Director Zhao end up like this?
But those real beasts can stand high above and treat human life like dirt.
An uncontrollable rage and hatred burned fiercely in Wang Chao's chest.
He hated his own weakness.
His ability is perception, which is almost useless in direct combat.
He could only watch helplessly as his companions died.
This feeling of powerlessness almost consumed him completely.
The car drove on in silence for a long time.
Just as they were about to arrive at the headquarters of the Extraordinary Bureau in Dongzhou City, Wang Chao finally broke his silence.
His voice was terribly hoarse.
"Jiang Luo..."
"Um?"
Jiang Luo turned her gaze away from the night view outside the window and looked at Wang Chao in the driver's seat. "What's wrong, Uncle Wang Chao?"
Wang Chao took a deep breath, as if he had used up all his strength.
"Wait a minute... can I go to the provincial bureau with you?"
Before Jiang Luo could answer, he continued talking to himself.
"Director Zhao... he has been incredibly kind to me. Without him, I might have died in a mission long ago, or become an idiot due to mental exhaustion."
"He also said that once this matter is over, he will give me a long vacation so I can go home and spend some quality time with my parents..."
"He was such a good person, why... why did he have to die at the hands of those cancerous cancers?!"
Wang Chao's voice grew increasingly agitated, eventually turning into a low growl.
"So...I want to go."
"I want to see with my own eyes the moment that culprit, that beast who ordered the slaughter, is brought to justice!"
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently ahead.
"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. You don't need to worry about me; I can protect myself."
"Even if... even if I really die there in the end, it doesn't matter."
"if only……"
"As long as the real culprit is brought to justice, everything... will be worth it!"
Jiang Luo listened quietly.
He could sense the resolute, all-or-nothing will in Wang Chao's words.
He was very familiar with this feeling.
Not long ago, he was the same way.
He looked at Wang Chao's profile, and after a while, he nodded slightly.
"it is good."
It's a single word, very simple.
But for Wang Chao, it was an immense weight.
He glanced at the small figure in the back seat through the rearview mirror. The bloodshot in his eyes became even more pronounced, but a glimmer of light also appeared in them.
……
After half an hour.
The vehicle slowly drove into the underground parking lot of the Dongzhou City Extraordinary Bureau headquarters.
This is an ordinary-looking office building on the outside, but the inside is heavily guarded and full of high-tech features.
Because it was late at night, the building was still brightly lit, and many superhumans were on duty at their respective posts.
They had no idea that just moments before, their director and hundreds of colleagues stationed at the Extraordinary Hospital had been brutally murdered.
With Wang Chao leading the way, the two made no trouble along the way.
Many staff members on duty greeted Wang Chao and curiously looked at Jiang Luo beside him.
After all, it is indeed a bit strange to bring a three-year-old child to the station late at night.
But Wang Chao was a key member of the third field team, so no one dared to ask him any questions.
Wang Chao ignored the stares of those people, kept a straight face, and led Jiang Luo in the private elevator to the bottom floor of the building.
The elevator doors opened, revealing a long corridor made of a special metal.
At the end of the corridor stood a heavy alloy door.
Wang Chao walked to the door and placed his palm on a recognition device.
"Identity confirmed. Wang Chao, member of Field Team 3, Level B access. Entry permitted."
A cold, mechanical voice sounded.
The heavy alloy doors slid open silently to both sides.
Behind the door was a huge, spacious circular hall, as large as a small football field.
In the center of the hall stands a huge circular structure.
At the center of the device, a silvery-white, mercury-like ball of light was slowly rotating, emitting mysterious yet powerful spatial fluctuations.
"This is the emergency space teleportation channel."
Wang Chao pointed to the ball of light and explained it to Jiang Luo.
"To prevent sudden and unmanageable S-level or higher catastrophic events from occurring, the Supernatural Bureau in each provincial capital has established such spatial teleportation channels with its municipal branches."
"The other end of the passage is the provincial bureau of Nanjiang Province."
That's good?
That saves us the trouble of going to the provincial capital and then to the provincial bureau!
"Let's go."
Jiang Luo put his hands in his pockets and took the lead, walking towards the ball of light with his short legs.
Wang Chao watched his retreating figure, took a deep breath, and followed him.
Just as the two figures were about to disappear into that silvery-white light.
……
Thousands of miles away.
Inside the office of the highest-ranking official of the Extraordinary General Bureau of Nanjiang Province.
Zhou Hongye stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine, overlooking the bustling city below, a contented smile on his face.
Ironwall has always been highly efficient.
Judging by the time, they should be back soon.
He couldn't wait to see that person named Jiang Luo!
Upon seeing this...
Perfect material for anatomical experiments!
That must be...
What a wonderful thing!
Just then.
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and an assistant in an office uniform walked in to report on the situation.
"Commander!"
"The emergency teleportation channel of the Dongzhou Branch has been activated!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongye's smile widened even further.
It seems Iron Wall is back!
He put down his wine glass, straightened his collar, and spoke in a cheerful mood.
"Come on, follow me, let's go welcome our great hero back."
