Chapter 221 Chapter 221
The most terrifying hunters often appear as prey. The more poisonous the animals and plants are, the more attractive and beautiful they are.
Just like the boy in front of me.
He shouldn't have let his guard down. Si Zai knew clearly where he was and who he was facing. But when he saw the sweet smile of the young boy, it was as if his soul was about to fly away to the sky. He felt dizzy and subconsciously regarded the young boy as someone he could trust, or even someone who needed protection.
Is this the effect of psychic abilities?
Si Zai clenched his hands tightly, digging his nails into the flesh, constantly warning himself that there was something dangerous and weird in front of him, which cooled his excited brain a little.
The audience in the live broadcast room was not so rational.
【cute--】
[What a beautiful little boy, come and get some hugs——]
【Exquisite children. 】
[The child needs sleep, why not let him sleep for a while? ]
【A child this age needs milk and eggs, as well as a fairy tale book. 】
Readers in the comment section were discussing excitedly, but no one thought of asking why the young boy was here, what his identity was, and why he was staying with the paper doll.
It was as if everyone only saw Mangtao in the world, and no one else existed. And the little boy was just an ordinary child who needed their love and protection.
"Chief..." Qin Xiaocao ran to Mang Tao first. He looked at the young boy lying on the back of the paper man and stood on tiptoe to take credit. "I have always been very well behaved. I have never caused any trouble and I have done my tasks perfectly! I am the best kid, right?"
Mang Tao patted the paper man's shoulder, and the paper man slowly placed the young boy on the ground.
Standing in front of the straw boy, Mang Tao was a little shorter than him. The young boy raised his hand and patted Qin Xiaocao on the head: "Great job."
The cute child was praising another child in the tone of a little adult.
There was something magical about this scene.
Except for Si Zai who felt awkward, no one else felt weird, and even the audience in the live broadcast room didn't think there was anything wrong.
"So, let's talk about cooperation with humans." Mang Tao looked at Si Ze with a smile, "Let's talk about it."

United States.
While it is daytime in the East China Sea, it is still night in the United States far away in the West China Sea. Everyone has gone off work, even the shops are closed, and everyone is sleeping.
Nelson from the US CSI headquarters was the investigator on duty that night. His daily job was to keep an eye on the weird live broadcast room, record all the weird things or humans that needed special attention in the weird live broadcast room, record the content of the weird live broadcast, and organize and archive it.
The live broadcast room where the strange members of the Light Organization appeared was the focus of Nelson's attention. He needed to sit at the desk for eight hours a day, facing several computer desks to constantly switch the live broadcast room and record the content. In the Weird Bureau, such a clerical job was obviously not dangerous and the workload was relatively easy. In addition, the salary was not low. If his shift was not the night shift, everything would be perfect.
There are so many weird live broadcast rooms that one person certainly can't handle it, so Nelson has other colleagues, but there are only two colleagues who work the night shift with him, drinking coffee and staring at the live broadcast room.
I thought tonight would be the same as usual, I would just browse the live broadcast room, find something worthwhile, start recording, and then record the content. But before I had watched for long, a message suddenly popped up on the screen, informing me that a special live broadcast room was opened, and asked me whether to watch it.
Like his two colleagues, Nelson chose yes without hesitation.
Then, together with other audience members, I watched the entire process of Qin Xiaocao and other lighting members’ appearance.
This is important content. After clicking the record button without hesitation, Nelson began to quickly count the members of the Light and had high expectations for the existence of the leader.
Not only the three of them were staring at the live broadcast room, but all the staff on duty at the Weird Investigation Bureau had mobile phones and computers with the Weird Live Broadcast software installed. After the message popped up, the people on night duty, including the security guard at the gate, all chose to watch the live broadcast.
Everyone is curious about the leader's existence, especially when all the members of the Lights gather in the live broadcast room. Who can miss such a famous scene?
There are people who actually choose to miss it and ignore the pop-up on their phone because they have more important things to do.
While Nelson and the other people on duty at the Bureau of Oddities were staring at their computers, several people in black robes quietly sneaked into the building at night. They chose a road that was not patrolled by anyone, avoided the cameras, and went straight to the underground level of the Bureau of Oddities, where the strange objects were stored.
After discovering the magical uses of strange objects, the US Bureau of Investigation ignored the possible dangers of strange objects and collected them in large quantities, including the good and the bad. Even though the strange objects received caused several accidents and deaths, the US Bureau of Investigation did not give up and still put the collection of strange objects in the first place. Their only effort was to place the strange objects that had not been studied in an underground warehouse far away from the crowd, and to lock them up layer by layer, with a password door, triple identity verification, complicated passwords, employee cards, and finally iris recognition. To ensure that no one can get close or steal things.
If it was before the emergence of the awakened ones, this would indeed be a sufficiently safe method of identity verification, but things are different now.
The leader took off his hat, revealing a pale face. He put his head in front of the small hole for iris recognition verification and widened his eyes.
After a beep, the man quickly entered the password and scanned his employee card. However, the employee card was stained with a little blood that had not been wiped clean.
The door slowly opened, and a group of people walked into the warehouse and looked at the shelves covering the entire wall.
There are all weird things placed densely.
"Look at that. It's the old fountain pen that I told you about before, passed down in my family." Someone pointed to the shelf in front and said, "After the Red Sun, it underwent a strange change and the news spread. Then these investigators took it away on the pretext of 'protecting the lives of the people.' This is the fountain pen that my great-grandfather used, and it was from the war. After those bastards took the thing, they turned a blind eye to our predicament. The weirdness we encountered has nothing to do with this fountain pen."
The other few people looked up, then turned around and continued doing their own things without saying anything.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the man shrugged and started working.
They held a round ball and waved it in front of the monsters one by one. If the ball emitted a faint blue light, they would put the monster into the bag. If it emitted a diffuse red light, they would stay away from the monster and not touch it.
The strange things emitting blue light account for one third of the number here. The small bag, which is only the size of a palm, can hold dozens of strange things of different sizes, and it doesn't even seem to be full.
"I am amazed every time I see it. It is indeed a divine object bestowed by Lord Kret." The man who was pretending to be a treasure said in a low voice.
"Use with caution. This item does not belong to the Seko Cult. It is temporarily lent to us by Lord Louis, the servant of the Cult. Although the divine bead that identifies the danger of strange objects was given to our Cult by Lord Kailett, there is only one of this item." Another person whispered, "Be careful not to damage it."
"Okay, it's all installed."
A group of people in black robes came quietly, and after sweeping the room, they left. But they did not leave the building immediately, but came to the file room with a purpose. The man in the lead rubbed his face, and his appearance changed like plasticine, and soon he changed into a new face. Using this face, he successfully entered the file room with facial recognition.
A quarter of an hour later, they walked out of the archive room, considerately closing the door with their gloved hands.
Their goal was completely achieved, and they finally left the headquarters building of the U.S. Bureau of Illusion.
All the people on duty were still staring at Mang Tao's childish face on the weird live broadcast screen, and some were typing on their keyboards in disbelief and making comments in the comment section.
The man in black robe came to a street far away from the Weird Investigation Bureau building and stopped. This street was next to the river, and there were few people walking on the street late at night.
After placing a few cardboard boxes on the ground and lighting the fuse, they quickly left the scene.
The fuse burned, finally igniting the gunpowder.
With a few whooshing sounds, sparks flew into the air, and huge fireworks exploded in the sky.
Those who were still awake opened the curtains and looked out the window.
Some people who were already asleep but were light sleepers were also awakened and walked to the window.
"What?"
"Fireworks? Is there some kind of celebration?"
"Are you kidding me? Do you know what time it is?"
"It's just past midnight and I have to work tomorrow. Damn it, it's a nuisance."
"Call the police!"
One by one, lights came on in the apartment buildings.
People were arguing and complaining, but of course some were delighted by the beauty of the fireworks. Some children excitedly opened the door and came to the open-air balcony, raising their little hands and shouting to their parents in pajamas behind them: "Look, fireworks--"
"Yes, fireworks. It should be over soon. Let's go to bed after watching it, baby."
"Okay—" the child responded loudly.
At this moment, a white light appeared in the dark alley next to their house and slowly rose into the sky.
Not only here, not only in this city, but in many big cities in the United States, fireworks were set off. Before the fireworks were completely over, the double-ring logo of white light rose into the sky from various places, attracting everyone's attention.
"What is that?"
"Oh My God!"
"So cool——"
"Quick, take a picture. I want to post it online."
"Wait, look at your phones, there's a special live broadcast room open."
"Really? Hell, I didn't even know that when I was asleep. Wait, what is this? All the lights are gathered? The leader is a kid? Oh my god, he's so cute, I love him so much!!"
"Is this the headquarters of the Light Organization? Where is it?"
There was another explosion, but this time it was not fireworks, but a real explosion. People who heard it raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.
Someone who was closer saw what happened - the Oddity Bureau was bombed.
Whether it was the headquarters in the U.S. capital or the branches in major cities, it was no surprise that the gates were blown to pieces.
People in black robes appeared from all directions and gathered here. They stood neatly in front of the bombed gate of the Weird Investigation Bureau.
Someone with quick eyes and hands immediately took a photo and posted the information online. Soon the news swept websites all over the world.
After the terms #Lighting Organization Gathering##The leader is a very cute child##Lighting and China establish cooperative relations#, a new term quickly squeezed into the hot search: #The US Occult Investigation Bureau was bombed, and mysterious religious organizations gathered to declare war on it#
What a lively day.
