"Mr. Ding, you've gone to so much trouble."
In the suburbs of Beiyan City, in front of an old house with three courtyards, Liang Xiaohong shook hands with Si Jin, her eyes full of embarrassment.
“This is the house my grandfather left behind. I only came back to clean it after he passed away, but I keep hearing strange crying sounds, and even sounds of fighting. I suspect there’s something here, so I called you all to come and take a look…”
"It's alright, we're just responsible for dealing with strange and unusual things, it's just our job, nothing to worry about."
Si Jin adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, smiling broadly. Even in a simple suit, she looked far more refined than the others, as if she were wearing haute couture.
But the blue name tag on her chest was out of place, dragging down the high-fashion feel—
Ding Sijin, Summoner of the Supernatural Research Bureau (Rank S)
"I'm sorry to trouble you all. I consulted a feng shui master about the source of the sound, and he said it was in the basement on the left." Liang Xiaohong said, handing the key to Si Jin and pointing to the location of the basement.
After seeing the person off, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, his brow furrowing with worry.
Didn't she call the research bureau to find a ghost hunter? Why send a summoner instead?
But whatever, that handsome young man seems pretty reliable, and he's S-level, which is the highest level, so she'll put her mind at ease for now.
… …
This is a world where spiritual energy is revived.
In 2338, with the rapid development of technology, hidden monsters have quietly resurfaced around the world, disguising themselves as humans and roaming around bustling cities, threatening society.
In contrast, a group of people with superpowers emerged, known as Weirds, who, under the control of the Bureau of Paranormal Research, were responsible for fighting monsters.
Si Jin had just transmigrated when she received this job to explore the ancient house.
Insert the key into the lock, turn it twice, and the iron door to the basement will open.
As soon as you open it, a blast of cold air hits you.
It wasn't just ordinary coolness; it was a chilling cold that carried a sinister aura, seeping into your very bones.
This caused the other three employees, besides Si Jin, to shiver.
"Jin...Brother Jin." The chubby boy behind them couldn't take it anymore and trembled as he backed down: "Are we really going in?"
He's just a D-rank summoner, on his first day on the job, and he doesn't want to die here! QAQ
“Of course, there’s something fishy about this. How can we catch them if we don’t go in?” Si Jin turned his head, gave the chubby boy a friendly smile, and gestured to the other two B-rank summoners who had come with him.
"Hey guys, drag him in."
The chubby boy instantly despaired: "Team leader, you can't do this to me!!!"
However, his cries did not earn him even a glance from Team Leader Jin, and soon the group entered the basement.
The moment I stepped in, bang—
The basement door locked itself shut, as if to prevent them from escaping.
Those with great strength tried to pull, but couldn't budge them.
He had no choice but to give up, saying, "Brother Jin, it seems like there's some kind of spell cast on this place, they're afraid we'll leave. What should we do?"
Panic spread through the four-person team. The chubby boy was so frightened that his lips turned white, and he could only silently clasp his hands together, praying for divine protection.
While everyone was waiting for an answer, Si Jin had already found a special spot on the ground, placed her leather shoes on it, and gently stepped on it.
Judging from the sound, it seems like we're suspended in mid-air sixteen meters below, so...
Si Jin gestured for everyone to take two steps back, then released lightning with his hands hanging down, booming loudly—
A flash of pure white lightning miraculously erupted from his palm, causing the earth to tremble and dust to rise.
The two B-rank summoners, who often accompanied the original owner on missions, immediately became unfazed and kept their distance, covering their mouths and noses with their hands.
Only the chubby boy was stunned for a moment. Before he could run away, he was jolted on his butt and rolled away like a ball.
After finally stopping, and seeing the scene before him, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
Ordinary summoners summon spirit beasts or monsters they have subdued to fight for them. This is the first time he has seen one that can summon lightning.
The chubby boy raised his hand, about to clap and shower the boy with compliments, but was choked by the dust and coughed violently, his eyes filled with tears.
Before the coughing had even subsided, Si Jin had already cleared a path through the ground and taken a quick look.
"Down here is an ancient tomb, it seems to be... an imperial mausoleum?"
