Chapter 38 Visiting Letter
A dreamless night.
Qi Heng opened the door a second before someone knocked on it and looked at the two people in front of him.
Si Yuan put down his hand with a smile on his face, seeming to be genuinely happy that he lived nearby. He said good morning to him very energetically, scratched his face and said:
"Qi Heng, we need to go to the office before we meet Xiao Ye. The officer in charge of our team wants to know the details of the copy."
After a while, he asked again tentatively.
"And, do you have the desire to join the government?"
"Not yet." Qi Heng thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head under the gaze of the two, and explained to them, "I am personally more accustomed to doing dungeon clearing on commission. Of course, if you have a dungeon that requires more than four people, you can come to me."
"OK."
Si Yu'an agreed without hesitation. He turned around and looked at Lin Muyu, then put his arm around Qi Heng's shoulder and walked towards the office.
"But our commander is a bit off-key, so please don't mind it when the time comes."
It didn't take long to get from the dormitory to the office. Along the way, many staff members greeted the three of them and gave polite and curious looks to the new face in the middle.
The two people beside him also introduced various areas to Qi Heng one after another, and chatted about the upcoming Battle of Zhuolu.
"I didn't expect that it would be the fourth session so soon. We were still trying to figure out where to find teammates to form a team. It just so happened that we met you during this dungeon."
Si and An sighed, talking about the birth of the competition, the teammates of this session, and the encounter between several people to the future team building. The atmosphere never cooled down as they talked so much.
"This Zhuolu Battle is different from the previous ones. In order to appeal to the team spirit within the dungeon, we specifically removed the single-player competition and used group and squad competitions to test the cooperation of the psychics."
"Well, I heard that the prize this time is very special." Lin Muyu pressed the elevator button and turned to ask Qi Heng, "What is your expected ranking?"
"Ranking?"
It remains to be seen whether this competition can be held in Chengdu.
However, Qi Heng still thought about this sentence.
In the original plot line, the last two teams in the group competition were the Dawn Union and the government team. Of course, for well-known reasons, they failed to determine the winner.
"Let's try to be at the front in the team competition. Come on."
——
Arriving at the office door, Lin Muyu knocked on the door first, and after hearing "Come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.
The other two followed closely behind.
The officer who was described as "unreliable" was reading a document. The seriousness on his face turned into relaxation when he saw the visitors. He greeted them with a smile and indicated that they could sit anywhere.
"You are here. This happened suddenly. I need to tell you something."
After the three people were seated comfortably, the officer put down the documents in his hand and pushed them across the smooth desk.
Seeing that his face was slightly gloomy, Lin Muyu had a bad feeling in his heart and lowered his head to look.
Sure enough, it’s bad news.
"how so?"
Si Yuan looked at the contents on the paper, and their good mood disappeared as they felt a surge of anger rising.
The document stated in black and white that a high-level copy suddenly absorbed and spread in a way that went against common sense. The copy that was about to be promoted successfully advanced under this inexplicable push. The players inside realized something was wrong and sought help, but the transmission failed due to magnetic field problems.
It was very familiar, a replica of the Mountain God instance, except that they survived.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
Qi Heng lowered his eyes and looked quietly at the names of the missing persons on the document. They came from a high-level union and had the same potential in their supernatural powers. When they matured, they would be a very suitable dungeon cleaning team.
"Black fog, superpowers, life or death unknown."
Shortly after several people finished reading, the commander said in a deep voice.
"Does it sound familiar? It reminds me of the evil cult that was jointly wiped out a few years ago."
Of course I have an impression.
No one will forget that horrific case.
The disappearance of many people with special powers caused chaos on all sides. While people were desperately looking for the cause, an unknown camp that grew like mushrooms after a rain appeared.
They spread the word of the "black fog" widely, claiming that the supernatural powers possessed by humans are just gifts from God, but they are still ignorant of the need to stop the spread of the black fog. They should kneel down and thank Him for His coming, and when the black fog covers the world, it will be a new life.
Such earth-shattering remarks simply stunned everyone, and those so-called "believers" all looked crazy, making people step back for fear of being infected with the virus.
The government ordered a crackdown and tried to appease the frightened masses. Finally, all the missing people with special abilities were found in the cult's lair. Some of them were already dying due to the cruel experiments.
This completely aroused public outrage, and the cult was wiped out by the joint efforts of the entire camp.
It is sad that many precious people with special abilities still died in this incident.
I didn’t expect that two years later, a similar incident would happen again. Is there still any remnant of that evil cult left?
"Your potential and strength are obvious to all. It's no surprise that you were chosen by the cult. If it weren't for the rescue of that psychic, you might be the next to disappear."
The officer took the document back and put it aside, then spoke slowly while looking at the three people sitting opposite him in deep thought.
"It is still unclear whether it is the remnants of the past or another group that imitates the cult. In any case, there should be changes in the Battle of Zhuolu this time. According to those people above... It is obvious that the competition will not be suspended."
"I will do my best to add more manpower to ensure the safety of the competition. You must be careful and safety comes first."
"We understand."
Lin Muyu nodded solemnly and crossed out all the competition plans he had prepared in his mind. It’s okay to lose, but you can’t spend all your energy fighting for first place. If something goes wrong you won’t even be able to struggle.
After the officer drank some water to moisten his throat, he asked again:
"Have you obtained any information about that psychic?"
The officer put down his teacup, raised an eyebrow, and shrugged noncommittally: "I didn't find any information. Isn't it amazing?"
"Ah?" Si Yu'an leaned back in disbelief. "Male, in his twenties, with superpowers strong enough to blast a soon-to-be S-rank BOSS. Can't you find such detailed clues?"
"You call this detailed?"
The officer asked back unhappily.
He was in a meeting until three in the morning last night. Those who only talked but did not speak only heard the words "unknown powerful psychic" and started arguing over the propositions of whether to use him for their own benefit or to directly eliminate him, which gave him a headache.
What's the final result? I don't even know where that person with special abilities is.
Silently taking another sip of water and suppressing his emotions, the officer recalled the probability that he had calculated with his own special ability, which would never go wrong.
The mood suddenly became even weirder.
He stopped thinking and turned his attention to Qi Heng, who had been silent since entering the office. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the young man opposite him notice his gaze and his expression was calm with a hint of subtle rejection.
"......"
He suddenly stopped talking, waved his hand with amusement, and asked them to leave quickly.
"Okay. You three can go enjoy your two days of leisure time. I still have a lot of work to do."
"Remember to tell Xiaoye how she is. I didn't mean to ignore her."
——
The three of them closed the door and left, and the office suddenly became quiet.
Sighing and rubbing his dark circles, the officer looked at the large stack of documents and a series of pending tasks beside him, and felt his head hurt even more.
The side effects of the depletion of my superpowers are still a little bit left, so it's really not suitable for me to work recently.
Flipping through the documents casually, he threw the unimportant ones aside and piled them up. For the sake of his physical and mental health, he decided to take a few hours' rest after sorting out the important ones.
I had just calmed down and read half a page when the phone on the table rang like a life-threatening alarm, and my pen left a mark on the paper.
"......"
Wu Yan put down the pen and answered the phone. An inexplicable premonition made him feel that he might not be able to rest today.
That's true.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have no idea how to organize his words. He just told him in a strange tone that an accident had occurred and asked him to come to the meeting as soon as possible.
This development was somewhat unexpected for the officer. He narrowed his eyes, feeling that things were not that simple, and finally he became a little more cheerful.
"Got it, I'll do it as soon as possible."
......
I slowly walked to the place where the meeting took place last night. The door was ajar and a familiar confrontation sounded from inside.
No one would answer the door if he knocked at this point, so he simply opened the door and sat down in his seat with a natural look on his face.
Sitting there, an excited old man was slamming the table hard. Next to his hand was a piece of paper that looked like it was roughly torn from a notebook, with a few lines of handwriting on it.
"This is too outrageous! You simply don't take me seriously!"
The old man said angrily.
"?"
I'm so excited. Someone must have sent me a provocative letter.
The officer took a secret glance and looked around, and found that everyone's expression was very interesting and charming.
His mind became active, he began to associate the causes and developments of events, and his spirits gradually brightened.
While thinking, he was also paying attention to the noise of conversation. After all, these people always liked to call out names suddenly. If he offended someone when he was in a bad mood, he would be in trouble.
Sure enough, after speaking passionately for a while, the old man took a breath, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, looked around, and suddenly called out: "Xiaozhe!"
"I'm here." The officer raised his head skillfully, gave a firm look to prove that he was listening, and responded naturally.
The old man nodded with satisfaction and looked at him, as if waiting for something to say.
It's not a problem for him.
After sitting for a while, the officer had already extracted relevant information from the other party's angry rebukes. I have to say that today was indeed very interesting. Who would have thought that the protagonist we were still talking about in the meeting yesterday would airdrop a "letter" to my bedside today?
Not to mention that the paper just happened to float down and cover his face. This was such a huge provocation to a person who had high aspirations. No wonder these people were quarreling like this.
So he slammed the table hard, looking indignant:
"I think this is too unreasonable. If you want to visit someone, you should submit a visiting letter according to strict procedures. It's nothing to just inform them on a piece of paper."
He is awesome.
"But having said that, please calm down. There may be something else going on. Maybe the psychic doesn't know the relevant matters and is still young. He is using this method to prove his strength."
In fact, I think he is just simply crazy.
"Besides, doesn't the letter mention the time of his arrival? I will be responsible for receiving him at that time, and I will discuss the relevant matters with him."
Let me meet this talented person soon.
