Director Guan cleared his throat and spoke.
"Everyone, I called you here today because I have two important messages to share with you."
He paused, looked at the investigators present, and continued.
"First, we have new progress regarding the identity of the gray-robed man!"
The investigators immediately sat up straight, looking extremely surprised.
As the first lesson they need to learn before joining the Investigation Bureau, they are of course aware of the value of the words "Gray Robe Man".
Come and go freely in front of the police.
And unlike the female ghost Lin Wan'er, she is not vulnerable to incense ash.
During the one-minute-long conversation, the police were unable to obtain any private information from him.
He is an unknown powerful person who is as important as the mysterious pilgrim who handed over the talisman.
Director Guan picked up a folder from the table, opened it, and took out a piece of paper with a pattern drawn on it.
Said to everyone.
"The gray-robed man is from a mysterious organization, and Lin Wan'er has also joined it. This is their organization's symbol. You must pay close attention to this pattern from now on. If you spot it, report it to me immediately!"
Everyone came over to take a look. On the paper, the eyes in the hexagram seemed to be able to see through everything.
They were frightened by the look on their faces.
An investigator muttered to himself.
"The gray-robed man and Lin Wan'er are strong enough as independent individuals. If they were from the same organization, how terrifying would they be?"
"The problem is that it's an organization. It must have been established for a purpose. What do they want to do?"
An investigator broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but think of the worst.
All we seek in life is fame, wealth and power.
And if a person's power exceeds that of his peers by a lot, they will be more greedy.
Fortunately, Director Guan stopped their increasingly extreme ideas in time.
"No, it seems that their organization has no intention of ruling the world. Instead, it is maintaining the stability of the current social order."
"They have an organization. We learned about it from students after they rescued a student."
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
No one likes war.
The gray-robed man was able to resist the temptation of power and still make his own contribution to society, which made them admire him.
But some people asked in confusion.
"Commander, if the gray-robed man is not a sociopath, why are you so serious?"
"That's the second piece of news I want to tell you."
Director Guan scanned the room, as if wanting to see everyone clearly.
"The gray-robed man rescued the student because he was attacked by a tentacle monster. Team Three brought back the blood that the monster left at the scene."
"This blood doesn't match the DNA of any creature on Blue Planet. In other words, it doesn't belong on Blue Planet!"
"What!" Everyone was shocked again.
Director Guan ignored the fluctuating emotions of the investigators below the stage and continued speaking.
"This unknown creature possesses extremely strong healing abilities and can change its form at will. If it appears in large numbers, the consequences will be disastrous."
"It is a huge threat to both humans and the ecosystem!"
Speaking of this, Director Guan felt a pang of fear in his heart.
The monster appeared late at night at a sparsely populated construction site.
If the gray-robed man had not arrived at the scene, the monster would have caused considerable casualties.
Everyone's expression was unhappy.
One investigator speculated.
"Could it be that after being transformed by supernatural powers, the monster's genes have mutated?"
Director Guan shook his head.
"Even if they mutate, they will retain some of their original genes, just like the evolution of life on Blue Planet over thousands of years. However, the genetic sequence of this blood is very unfamiliar."
Another investigator asked again.
"Chief, perhaps that monster was just an isolated incident. There's no need for us to make such a fuss about it?"
"There shouldn't be any sense of luck!"
When Director Guan heard this question, he severely criticized the investigator who asked the question.
"You must remember that behind you are the entire Chinese people. If something goes wrong due to your negligence, can you bear the responsibility?"
The investigators who had similar ideas were all ashamed by Director Guan's words and lowered their heads.
The investigator who asked the question was also infected by Director Guan's emotions, and his voice trembled slightly as he answered.
"I'm sorry, Chief! I understand. I was too rash and didn't think it through!"
Director Guan's expression softened slightly, and he spoke gently.
"If you make a mistake, correct it. I also know that you are doing this for the good of the Bureau and don't want the worst possible outcome."
"But in fact, we already have evidence that the appearance of this strange monster is not an isolated case."
Everyone's pupils shrank slightly, and they all stared at Director Guan.
Director Guan sighed.
"As early as two months ago, our spies in America reported that the U.S. government was secretly recruiting civilian genetics experts."
"We investigated but didn't follow up. Looking back now, I think they must have discovered a similar monster in their country."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat and they could only accept this worst-case scenario.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The world is in chaos today, and no one in the whole world can live in peace.
Originally, only supernatural powers appeared, but now monsters other than those from the Blue Planet have appeared.
The appearance of the gray-robed man can actually help them fight these monsters.
Director Guan leaned his hands on the table, waiting for everyone to digest all the information.
Asked them.
"What do you think the next step for the Investigation Bureau should be?"
All the investigators spoke enthusiastically.
"We must follow up with America. We can't guarantee whether their hiring of geneticists will be good or bad for us."
"Domestic surveillance must also be strengthened. At the very least, the next time a monster appears, we will be able to obtain intelligence about it in advance."
"And there's the Gray Robe people, a friendly supernatural organization. We should find a way to contact them as soon as possible."
"They will have organization markings on them. Maybe we can find a way to start from there."
"I don't agree with this. This kind of search is too pervasive and could easily cause resentment on the other side."
"That's right. What we need is to make friends. This is more important than contacting them."
"Then we can only wait for them to come to us?"
“…It seems so.”
Director Guan listened carefully to everyone's thoughts and only came out to stop them after everyone had finished speaking.
"What you said is correct. We will do as you say both in China and in America."
"As for the gray-robed man... let's send someone to take good care of Lin Wan'er's mother first, and we can deal with the rest later."
Lin Wan'er grew up in a single-parent family, and her mother occupies a very important position in her heart.
She would definitely visit the hospital.
I hope they can start with Lin Wan'er and contact the man in gray robe.
