Bureau of Strange News Investigation?

"Snap~"

The man stopped abruptly as he walked up to me.

He turned his head, a gentle and friendly smile on his face.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

These four simple words are like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples in my heart.

haven't seen you for a long time?

Have we... met before?

I looked at him with suspicion, my mind racing as I tried to search my memory for any recollections of him.

Judging from his appearance, he was about my age, but no matter how hard I racked my brains, I couldn't remember when I had any interaction with him.

Could it be that I saw it when I was a child?

But childhood memories are like looking at flowers through fog, blurry and indistinct, and I can't piece together his figure no matter what I do.

Just as I was filled with confusion and trying to dig out a clue from the depths of my memory, my head suddenly felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and a sharp pain struck me.

The pain felt like a thousand steel needles piercing my brain at the same time. I could no longer hold on, my legs gave way, and I knelt on the ground with a thud.

He clutched his head tightly with both hands, his fingernails almost digging into his scalp, and he let out a painful howl.

Just as I was in so much pain that I almost lost consciousness, a warm hand gently placed on my head.

The palm was broad and soft, and the warmth it emanated made my tense nerves relax slightly.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a faint sigh: "It seems that the [Earth Soul] hasn't fully grown yet."

As he finished speaking, a gentle force slowly flowed from his palm into my body, coursing through my limbs and bones.

The pain, which had felt like a thousand ants gnawing at my heart, gradually subsided.

When I came to my senses and staggered to my feet, the two men were already walking towards the giant python.

"Come in yourself, or should I do it?"

The man held a small black bottle in one hand and a long black knife in the other.

The python sensed the threat and raised its head high.

The enormous head, like a small mountain, looked down at the man and woman before it.

Compared to the giant python's enormous body, the two people appeared so small, like two insignificant ants.

The giant python slowly opened its blood-red maw, and shockingly, it began to speak human language.

"How dare the people from the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations meddle in my business..."

Before the word "matter" could be uttered, the stunningly beautiful woman beside the man suddenly moved.

"Smack!"

A loud slap suddenly rang out, echoing in the air for a long time.

The woman simply raised her hand, a seemingly casual movement that contained boundless power.

The giant python was as if it had been slapped hard by an overwhelming force. Its huge body flew backward uncontrollably and crashed heavily to the ground, instantly creating a pile of ruins.

Stones and dust filled the air, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"So...so strong!"

Luo Tianhe's eyes widened, and he murmured to himself with admiration.

Yes, this power is truly immense, so immense that it's unbelievable.

I turned to look at the man and found that he had already sheathed his long sword and was looking at the woman with a helpless yet indulgent expression. He shrugged slightly, as if he was already used to her domineering nature.

As the dust settled, the giant python had vanished.

Fifth Master stood crookedly in place, glaring fiercely at the woman, wishing he could devour her alive.

"Don't be so smug. I won't let this go. Once I regain my strength, I will make you pay a heavy price!"

Upon hearing this, the woman pouted impatiently, looking like a spoiled little girl.

"Are you coming in or not? Don't waste time, I need to go have dinner with my dad later."

dad?

Upon hearing this, I stared wide-eyed at the man in front of me in disbelief.

What kind of combination is this?

I always thought they were a couple, but now this woman is calling him dad?

This guy doesn't look that big.

Could it be the Heavenly Child Granny?

An ageless monster?

Various absurd ideas flashed through my mind.

Upon hearing this, Fifth Master was first taken aback, then suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha, you think you can defeat me so easily? How naive!"

As he laughed, billowing black mist suddenly surged around his body.

The black mist surged and churned like a raging tide, enveloping him within it.

Fifth Master's body also underwent strange changes within the black mist, his form constantly twisting, as if brewing some terrifying ultimate move.

"Smack!"

The woman had appeared before him like a ghost, moving so fast that he had no time to react.

Another crisp, loud slap landed directly on Fifth Master's face.

Fifth Master was sent flying backwards again.

When he struggled to his feet again, the madness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by terror.

He stared wide-eyed at the woman, as if he had just realized something, and was so frightened that he could barely speak: "You...you are..."

Just then, the woman's demeanor suddenly underwent a dramatic change.

If just a second ago she was pure and lovely, exuding an ethereal aura.

The next second, she was like a queen who held the power of life and death, her aura so powerful it was suffocating.

Noble and aloof, it makes people dare not look directly at it, let alone desecrate it.

I vaguely saw a shadowy figure slowly rising behind her.
