Not long after the call ended, another call came in.

The voice belonged to a woman.

Clean, direct.

"Wang Liqun? Captain Wang?"

"it's me."

"I am Shen Qingli. I have arrived in Jiangdong City. Please send someone to take me to the location where Gu Jingnian died."

Wang Liqun glanced at the time.

It's no wonder that this express train consumes a huge amount of resources every time it runs.

It is 1500 kilometers from the headquarters to Jiangdong City.

We'll be there soon.

It was like arriving by rocket.

He dared not delay and immediately agreed to send someone to take him to Qingfeng Mountain.

An hour later.

Shen Qingli stood in front of the mountain passage that had been mostly excavated.

She was wearing a black trench coat, her long hair was tied up, and her expression was cold.

Wang Liqun pointed to the collapsed area ahead.

"We've done our best. If we continue digging with the existing equipment, it will take at least two more days."

Shen Qingli glanced at the machines.

"Too slow."

She raised her hand and took out a strange, drill-shaped object.

The wondrous object is activated.

hum!

The rock that the machine had been drilling for ages without making a single movement was suddenly drilled into a large hole.

Wang Liqun's eyelids twitched.

As expected of a Grade A headquarters unit.

The group followed the passage into the underground.

Soon, they arrived at the original location of the Qingfeng Opera House.

The opera stage is no longer there.

Only a few charred corpses and large areas of burn damage remained.

A stench assaulted my senses.

Wang Liqun frowned.

"Burned like this, you probably can't see anything at all."

Shen Qingli squatted down and glanced at the corpse.

"uncertain."

She pointed to one of them.

"There are knife wounds here. If it was a massacre caused by a calamity, why would there be such clear knife wound marks?"

Wang Liqun followed the gaze and his expression changed slightly.

It really does.

Shen Qingli looked around again.

"The absence of any obvious knife residue nearby indicates that someone took something away, or someone deliberately cleaned up the scene."

Wang Liqun did not respond.

Shen Qingli closed her eyes and smelled it.

"It has an aura of impending doom, but it's not strong."

"It doesn't seem like the remnant of a powerful calamity that has lingered for a long time; it's more like the aura of a calamity that has just transformed from a wondrous object."

Wang Liqun's heart sank.

"This is also the effect of your mastery of rare items."

Shen Qingli shook her head: "It's just my intuition."

Arriving at Gu Jingnian's charred corpse, Shen Qingli took out a gray pillow and said to Wang Liqun.

"I want to enter his dream."

Wang Liqun was taken aback.

"Do the dead still dream?"

Shen Qingli said, "The living have their dreams, and the dead have their lingering dreams."

"Although it's chaotic, you can sometimes see some precious things."

"While I'm dreaming, watch out for me nearby. If there's any danger, wake me up immediately."

Wang Liqun nodded.

Looking at the pillow he was holding.

This should be the second strange object he possesses.

The wielder of these two extraordinary objects possesses exceptionally keen intuition.

No wonder Gu Zhixing sent her to investigate Gu Jingnian's death.

There's a good chance Shen Qingli might actually find something out.

On the other side, Shen Qingli hugged a pillow, stood up, closed her eyes, and activated her ability.

A few seconds later, her breathing became steady.

A few minutes passed.

Shen Qingli suddenly opened her eyes.

She shuddered and her face turned pale.

"Eh...dreams of the dead are really awful."

Wang Liqun asked, "What did you see?"

Shen Qingli remained silent for two seconds.

"A red curtain, a stage, and Gu Jingnian is fighting with many people for something."

"There seemed to be one audience member in a gray shirt in the audience, but after that, the line went dead."

"This man in gray, I don't think he was mentioned in the materials you submitted, right?"

Wang Liqun was taken aback and took the document compiled based on Lin Youyou's narration.

After looking through it, I found that the man in gray was never mentioned.

"What's going on?"

Wang Liqun was a little confused; Lin Youyou had no reason to lie.

Has Lin Youyou forgotten?

Or is the gray-clad man the calamity that Gu Jingnian and his group encountered?

Wang Liqun was a little confused.

Shen Qingli did not give him a chance to continue thinking.

"Was there another girl who made it back alive?"

"Yes, Lin Youyou, a student at Jiangdong No. 3 Middle School, and a newly promoted member of the Management Bureau."

Shen Qingli said, "I want to see her dream tomorrow and see what's going on."

Sometimes memories can lie, but dreams can't.

Wang Liqun frowned.

"That depends on her own wishes."

Shen Qingli did not argue.

"Okay, but since you're a student, I'll go see her tomorrow night. I'm tired, take me to rest first."

……

the next day.

Wang Yan went to school as usual.

During morning exercises, he absorbed another wave of original sin points.

[Absorbed Sin Value: 120 points.]

Constitution +2

[Speed ​​+1]

【Spirit +1】

The heightened hunger surged up immediately.

When Wang Yan returned to the classroom, the first thing he did was eat an energy bar.

Lin Youyou sat beside her, her eyelids twitching as she watched.

He couldn't understand how Wang Yan could eat so many of those sweet energy bars at once without getting tired of them.

Seeing that Wang Yan had almost finished eating, Lin Youyou spoke up.

"Do you have plans for tonight?"

Wang Yan said, "No."

Lin Youyou's eyes lit up.

"Then come with me on night patrol, two contribution points each time."

Wang Yan was only so-so in the first place.

Upon hearing about contribution points, their attitude immediately changed.

Although it's a small number, even the smallest mosquito is still meat.

It's also a good opportunity to familiarize myself with the basic procedures.

Therefore, Wang Yan asked.

"What time is it?"

"Meet me at 9 PM on the rooftop of the talent building near your home."

Wang Yan looked up.

"Why the rooftop?"

Lin Youyou looked serious.

"Patrol should certainly have a certain style."

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Wang Yan sneaked past the security guards and arrived at the rooftop of the Talent Building.

Lin Youyou was already waiting there.

She changed into the outfit she wore when she first met Wang Yan.

He was dressed in casual black clothes and wore a white rabbit mask on his face.

It's full of flaws.

Wang Yan suppressed the urge to complain and looked downstairs.

"So why can't we meet at the entrance of the residential complex?"

"Does it have to be like Monster, standing on a rooftop?"

Lin Youyou corrected.

"It's Batman, and standing on the rooftop looks cool."

Wang Yan rolled his eyes. This is called avoiding copyright risks!

The two then moved along the patrol route.

Lin Youyou was responsible for explaining the process.

"Night patrols mainly look for unusual fluctuations, signs of disaster, and unregistered artifacts."

"Report any danger you discover. If you can handle it, do so. If you can't, wait for backup."

"But for you, there shouldn't be anything you can't handle."

Wang Yan asked, "Will there be any extra contribution points for dealing with it?"

Lin Youyou remained silent.

"Yes, it's determined by the level of the calamity: 20 points for level F, 50 points for level E, 100 points for level D, and 200 points for level C."

"I can't handle anything beyond that, so I haven't looked into it."

Wang Yan nodded. For him, the benefits of having the Calamity Killer were quite good.

You can get rare items and also earn contribution points.

The two were talking.

Wang Yan's Oddities Radar suddenly popped up a notification.

[Class F artifact detected: Lead Water Bomb]

[Detected: Grade B Rare Item - Soul Robe]

[A-grade artifact detected: Mirror Coffin]

Location: 1 km northeast

"A calamity?!"

The sudden appearance of three owned strange objects delighted Wang Yan.

After gesturing for Lin Youyou to follow him, he dashed off at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, following the radar's location alert, Wang and Yan arrived at the inevitable path leading to the three calamities.

Suddenly, a dark figure rushed out from the street corner ahead.

That was a low-level calamity.

Its face was filled with fear, as if it were being chased by something.

Upon seeing Wang Yan and Lin Youyou, it didn't attack; instead, it tried to go around them.

Lin Youyou's expression changed.

"Calamity? It seems to be fleeing?"

Wang Yan looked behind the calamity.

"Something is chasing it."

In a flash, Wang Yan appeared directly behind the low-level calamity.

He punched it to pieces and collected the F-grade artifact [Lead Water Bomb] that it dropped.

[Task: Collect 50 rare items (26/50)]

As Wang Yan destroyed the low-level calamity, two figures emerged from the alley.

A blurry figure, like a shadow, shrouded in black mist.

The other figure was an old man holding a black mirror coffin.

The old man in the mirror coffin looked up, saw Wang Yan and Lin Youyou, and let out a hoarse laugh.

"Troublesome, I told you to stop playing."

"Now that's good, we've encountered a human weapon wielder."

The ghost beside him fell silent for a moment.

It dared not speak out against its anger.

It was clearly the [Mirror Coffin Elder] who wanted to play around, so he deliberately let that low-level calamity go.

But it's only Grade A, while the one next to it is Grade S.

If you are weak, you must be aware of your weakness.

The Ghost whispered, "The last idol has been activated. You can play if you want. I need to go back and explain to the saints."

The old man in the mirror coffin waved his hand.

"Go ahead, we haven't had enough fun yet, let's play with these two humans for a while."

[Ghost] glanced at Wang Yan and Lin Youyou, then its body turned into a phantom and disappeared.
