Chapter 8 Something's Wrong: A half-meter-tall monster exudes ghostly energy and...

After the half-meter-tall monster withdrew all the ghostly energy and monsters, its size became enormous again.

The monster's eyes revealed a cunning nature.

Zhou Fengyun saw through it at a glance.

He raised his hand, the movement neither hurried nor slow.

A giant golden sword rose from the ground and hovered high above the monster's head.

"I know you can shrink, so if you want to rebel, I'll keep beating you."

The monster blinked. He hadn't said anything, so how did he know?

How awful! Humans are just so evil!

But there was nothing we could do; we couldn't beat them.

The monster looked aggrieved; it was ugly to begin with, but with that pitiful expression, it looked even uglier.

He instantly shrank, becoming a tiny monster about 20 centimeters tall.

Is this small enough?

Zhou Fengyun sheathed the golden sword and said with satisfaction, "That's enough."

"Is this the little thing that caused such a commotion?" Chu Yihou asked, looking at the little guy on the ground who could be kicked eight hundred meters away.

You know what, after shrinking, it's kind of ugly-cute, and actually kind of adorable.

“Yes, he is the entrance to this secret realm,” Zhou Fengyun said.

"Huh? Why is the door a monster? Shouldn't it be a door?" Chu Yihou squatted down and looked at the little monster.

Zhou Fengyun shook his head: "I don't know either, let's take them back first."

By this time, the black mist had completely dissipated.

The streetlights were very bright.

The road is clearly visible.

Police cars drove in from outside, patrolling every street and every road.

Only after ensuring there are no wandering ghosts or monsters will the residents of the safe zone be notified to return home.

It is 5:20 a.m.

The sky was already overcast.

The sun will come out in another hour.

Police officers and community volunteers did not take a break and began cleaning up the streets.

We need to assess the losses from this incident.

Zhou Fengyun returned to the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities and washed his face.

Then we started dealing with the matter.

"Captain, the casualty statistics for this Ghost Resurrection incident are in. One resident died, five were slightly injured, and the damage to the buildings was not significant. The estimated loss is within 20,000 yuan. We were lucky this time; only some glass was broken."

However, the parking lot at the outlet mall was severely damaged and needs to be rebuilt.

Fortunately, the car wasn't damaged. The insurance company even brought us a banner of appreciation.

In the past, the number of casualties and building damage in the areas affected by ghosts and monsters has been greater than this time, and the insurance companies are always the most worried about going bankrupt.

These days, most families with cars have insurance against damage caused by ghosts or monsters.

In the past, they would have to pay a large sum of money every time. This time, the insurance company escaped a disaster and was so excited that they immediately sent a banner to express their gratitude.

Zhou Fengyun listened quietly without saying anything.

The person giving the report was too embarrassed to get excited because of his cold expression.

Controlling his emotions, he continued, "This incident lasted no more than six hours from start to finish, making it the fastest one to end in the last ten years. The General Administration wants to hear the captain's summary report and hopes that the captain can provide the report within two days."

Zhou Fengyun was annoyed; he was exhausted and still had to write reports.

"I understand. By the way, could you check which domestic technology companies have already developed a manned aircraft? Or at least one in the experimental stage?"

"Okay, Captain, do you want to know who that big shot in the live stream is?" Xiao Ling got excited again when this was mentioned.

"Live stream? Is he a famous streamer? What's his account? What's his name? Do you know his real identity?" Zhou Fengyun had never been so eager to know someone's personal information.

Xiao Ling laughed awkwardly, "Nobody knows. This is the first time he's appeared today. He's using someone else's account. The streamer's name is 8G看鬼. Captain, you can search for it. There are live replays. It seems he appeared halfway through the day, met this streamer, and they got together."

"Go contact this streamer and ask for their information."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

After Xiao Ling left, Zhou Fengyun took out his phone and searched.

There are many live stream clips on short video platforms.

Before he could even finish watching one of the video clips, Luo Jianjie walked in.

"The lab has examined that little monster, and his current ability index is only three thousand."

"Three thousand? I'll go take a look." Zhou Fengyun got up and walked out. Luo Jianjie followed beside him and said in confusion, "Why is the secret realm so strange this time? We can usually enter the secret realm, but now the door is a monster. How are we supposed to get in? This door is so special. Maybe there are some amazing magical treasures inside the secret realm. Do you want to find out?"

"Fortune and wealth are found in danger, and so are they lost in danger," Zhou Fengyun said calmly. "It's a good thing that no one was able to enter the secret realm this time, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome."

"That's true. This time, the peak value of the ability index was 2.7 million points. All forces mobilized to try and snatch the treasure. However, many forces were stopped as soon as they arrived nearby, leaving them all looking furious," Luo Jianjie said with a smile.

"So, that guy on the flying machine might also be from some faction who wants to steal the treasure?" Zhou Fengyun thought about it and then felt something was wrong. If the other party's target was the secret realm, then he would have plenty of opportunities to steal the little monster.

But he didn't. He slipped away without saying goodbye, clearly afraid of being discovered.

"Who is that big shot of the aircraft? I searched online but couldn't find anything. I searched for the same model using the photos in the live stream and found Baymax."

Zhou Fengyun shook his head; he didn't know either.

The superpower laboratory is right next to the Superpower Bureau.

The little monster was locked in a large, explosion-proof glass tank.

Several supernatural shockwaves were aimed at him from all sides.

He didn't dare to move at all.

The little monster only moved slightly after Zhou Fengyun walked in.

"Hey, what do you want?"

Researcher Cheng Zexi from the lab approached Zhou Fengyun with a notebook and said, "Take a look at the test report. It's a little monster with a 3,000-point ability index."

"How can it only have three thousand points?" Zhou Fengyun walked up to the glass tank, tapped the lid, and asked, "Shouldn't you have a power index of one or two hundred thousand points?"

"If I had this many superpower index points, would I be locked up here by you?" The little monster stomped its foot angrily, grabbing him and humiliating him!

Zhou Fengyun thought the little monster was right; if he were really that powerful, he wouldn't have been captured.

It's obvious that while this little thing isn't easy to kill, it's also no match for others.

"So, you only have three thousand points of superpower index. As the door, as long as you open the door, the ghosts inside will come out. The superpower index of those ghosts does not belong to you. The doors in the past can all lead to another dimension. You are essentially a movable door to another dimension," Zhou Fengyun analyzed.

Cheng Zexi, standing to the side, said, "That's what I think too. If this door can cooperate with us and let us come and go as we please, then we'll have the opportunity to properly explore the world inside." Cheng Zexi looked at Zhou Fengyun, his eyes shining with anticipation.

This arduous task could only be accomplished by Zhou Fengyun.

Zhou Fengyun had thought of that too, but monsters are monsters, they are treacherous and cunning. What if the other party pretends to agree, and then closes the door after they have all entered the secret realm?

They won't be able to get out then.

"We'll see." Although Zhou Fengyun was brave, he wasn't stupid. He didn't need to do anything that was too dangerous.

Zhou Fengyun bent down and approached the glass tank.

"How many ghosts and monsters did you release yesterday?"

"How should I know?" The little monster rolled its eyes at him, looking like it didn't want to talk to him.

"Do you know what's in your secret realm?" Zhou Fengyun asked.

"Just because I know, does that mean I have to tell you? Humph." The little monster crossed his arms and turned to look to the side, figuring these people couldn't do anything to him anyway.

He's not afraid at all; he'll run away as soon as he finds an opportunity.

Zhou Fengyun wasn't angry. He said to Cheng Zexi, "Don't pay any attention to him for now. Lock him up for ten days or half a month and then we'll see if he still has any temper then."

Cheng Zexi nodded: "Okay, anyway, we can't do anything about him right now, so we can only keep him locked up for the time being."

Zhou Fengyun nodded, then turned and walked out, with Cheng Zexi following him.

Once they reached the corridor, Cheng Zexi said, "Yesterday, a blogger livestreamed your monster-fighting gameplay, exposing your skills completely. Be careful in the future; someone will be researching ways to counter you."

Zhou Fengyun said nonchalantly, "It would be good if they could figure it out; it's not like they're the only ones who can upgrade."

"I know you're powerful, but you still need to be careful. Also, this little guy has been exposed, and those forces probably all want to take him for themselves. It's not good to keep him in the research institute. Although the institute has the highest level of defense system, there aren't many superhumans in the institute, and they're not very powerful. What are your thoughts?"

"I can only transfer one person over to you at most, that's really not enough. I don't have enough people on my side to begin with," Zhou Fengyun said.

"Okay, let's transfer one over first."

Zhou Fengyun nodded, waved his hand, and said, "I'll go take care of my work now."

"You didn't sleep a wink last night, go back and get some rest," Cheng Zexi said with concern.

"Oh, right." Zhou Fengyun took the candy wrapper from the mysterious person's hand to Cheng Zexi from his pocket.

“Look into this brand. It was given to me by that mysterious streamer yesterday. After taking it, my physical strength and superpowers recovered very quickly. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

Cheng Zexi took the candy wrapper and looked at it. "I've never seen this before. Let me take a look."

"Hmm." Zhou Fengyun turned and left, thinking to himself that the 2.7 million ability index last night was really strange.

Not many superhumans entered the ghostly aura area yesterday. In the past, the resurrection of ghosts would usually last for several days, and many forces would send people to seize the treasure after hearing about it.

Even in those situations, a peak ability index of two million was considered a major event.

Last night ended quickly. Many of the non-official superpowered individuals hadn't arrived yet, and the secret realm hadn't been opened. It seemed that apart from the monster at the door, they hadn't encountered any particularly powerful individuals.

Given this situation, how did the peak reach 2.7 million?

There must have been some incredibly powerful monster, but he didn't discover it.

Did that incredibly powerful monster go into hiding or return to the secret realm?

It would be terrible if they got out.

"Achoo!" Yu Qing sneezed loudly and jumped out of bed.

"Qingqing, you're awake?" Gu Tuo asked from outside.

"You're up so early?" Yu Qing sat up and stretched.

"It's already five o'clock in the afternoon, and I was just wondering whether I should wake you up for dinner."

"What time did you get up?" Yu Qing walked out of the room and saw Gu Tuo painting in the living room.

“I just got up not long ago, and suddenly I had an inspiration. Look at my painting of the dark rose.” Gu Tuo turned the easel around to show Yu Qing.

Yu Qing himself has little artistic talent, but he knows how to get along with people.

He immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Wow, that's wonderful... Where's the rose?"

Gu Tuo looked at Yu Qing and felt a moment of unfamiliarity.

Qingqing would never use such a fake smile to appease someone.

Could it be...?
