7: The boss comes to the door, vampire?
Seeing these keywords, Bai Yu vaguely guessed that the Seventh Group should be related to the Official Investigation Bureau.
Is Qing Lake related to the Qing Lake monster—the cases Wang Yongjian committed later?
"It's impossible for me to go to Qing Lake in my future timeline, so this information is just something to look at, grit my teeth and bury it, it won't change anything."
"After all, I don't have any strength right now. Without enough confidence, I can't reveal this news."
"As for the party..."
Bai Yu did recall the party organized by the Student Union that Zhang Youpeng mentioned.
The only thing he could access should be this.
"That will take a week or two, right? This news isn't urgent..."
"If something really happens at the party, similar intelligence should appear in the following days... If by then, I haven't changed much, then I won't go."
Then he looked at the last one: Wordless Heavenly Book.
This looks like a treasure no matter how you look at it!
Bai Yu was already looking forward to it.
While getting up and washing, Bai Yu was also considering which of the first three pieces of information to buy.
After much thought, he chose to buy the first one.
He felt that understanding the Special Investigation Bureau, this extraordinary organization, as soon as possible, was the most important thing at the moment.
[Special Investigation Bureau Seventh Group
Core Members: Li Yunbin, Qin Wanqing, Zhao Bin, Jiang Chen, Liu Feifei
Auxiliary Members: Bai Yu, etc.
Date: August 2, 2038]
"???"
"A year later on the list, I joined the Seventh Team?"
"Does this date mean I joined on this day, or is it just a random date?"
Bai Yu couldn't tell for now.
But in any case, if he encounters members of this Seventh Team, he must pay close attention.
Perhaps it's fate's arrangement.
He felt that although the amount of information was small, at least it gave him a direction.
After jotting down the information, breakfast arrived. After eating, Bai Yu started his exercise.
Half past nine.
Bai Yu finished his exercise, took a cold shower, and planned to rest for a while before going out to complete his running task.
"Knock knock knock~"
Hearing the knocking, Bai Yu was a bit puzzled.
This was a single apartment, and the floors were not interconnected, so who would be looking for him?
He looked through the peephole.
Holy crap! Uniformed big shots.
Have I been exposed?
He honestly opened the door and saw two men in uniform.
Bai Yu's expression showed appropriate bewilderment.
The handsome man leading them took out his identification and said, "Hello, I am Officer Li Yunbin from the Tianhai City Jiangnan District Law Enforcement Bureau, badge number *******, this is my identification."
When Bai Yu heard the name, his heart stirred.
Investigation Bureau, Seventh Group!
After a quick thought, he had already figured out roughly how to respond.
If the other side was coming because of the drone, he planned to come clean, saying he had seen a monster, and had long felt that some incidents were abnormal.
He was also curious if being more honest would allow him to connect with the Special Investigation Bureau faster and extract more information.
During the few seconds of pause, Li Yunbin was also observing Bai Yu's expression, mainly to see if Bai Yu had indeed seen the merman, and if so, his attitude towards the matter.
Bai Yu naturally said, "It should be about last night, right?"
"Shall we talk inside?"
"Okay."
Bai Yu nodded, signaling them to come in.
The police officers entered the room and looked around. To the left was the bathroom, to the right was the kitchen counter, and two steps forward were the bed and a small balcony.
The two officers sat on a small sofa nearby, and Li Yunbin got straight to the point, asking, "Do you know why we're here to see you?"
Bai Yu pondered for a moment and replied, "Is it because of last night's car accident, and... the drone?"
"Hmm." Li Yunbin nodded, "We observed that the drone tracked and filmed the entire incident. We hope you can describe in detail what you saw."
He wanted to see if Bai Yu would admit it directly or choose to conceal it.
Seeing this, Bai Yu described what happened, followed by the scene of the person jumping into the river...
"Before that person jumped into the river, through the drone, I seemed to see a rather strange image."
"What image?"
"That person had fins on their ears and their hands had mutated, just like... a merman monster from a movie."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
The two officers exchanged glances, sharing their thoughts.
Their first impression was that Bai Yu was too calm and composed, showing none of the panic most ordinary people exhibit when first encountering a supernatural creature, and he chose to be direct with them without any apparent worry.
It seemed he had either discovered something long ago or someone close to him had revealed information.
Seeing this, Li Yunbin also directly said, "What you saw is not wrong; this world is indeed very different."
"Is there anything you want to ask? Within the rules, we can give you answers."
The interaction was much easier than Bai Yu had imagined, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a moment, he directly asked, "Can humans also become extraordinary beings? If so, what are the ways?"
Li Yunbin smiled slightly upon hearing this: "A very practical question."
"Humans can become extraordinary beings, and there are many ways. In your current situation, knowing too much will only lead to a deep sense of powerlessness."
"The most suitable way is to join our Special Investigation Bureau, complete tasks, earn contributions, and exchange them for Cultivation resources. At the same time, you can also learn more information."
Bai Yu felt as if he had heard nothing, so he thought for a moment and continued to ask, "So, how does the Official plan to arrange for people like us?"
"There are no special arrangements. Just don't publicize supernatural events online and don't casually reveal related information to those around you."
In fact, according to statistics from the beginning of the year, out of 10 billion people worldwide, about 30 million have directly or indirectly encountered supernatural events.
With so many people, it's impossible to keep secrets, so they naturally leaked out.
It is estimated that about 3 to 5 hundred million people are already aware of the existence of Spiritual Qi recovery.
The number of people seems large, but the proportion is not high, and it is concentrated in the upper elite society.
After stating the restrictions, Li Yunbin continued, "We will add you to a group chat. Everyone in this group has encountered supernatural events in the Jiangnan District area. If you have anything, you can communicate with each other. At the same time, you can also learn many things from the group."
"If there is important information, you can report it to the investigators in the group."
Afterward, Bai Yu asked a few questions he was curious about, such as the destructive power of that merman, what level it was considered to be...
After a brief exchange.
The two investigators took the drone footage and left.
The process seemed quite relaxed, not as serious as he had imagined.
Walking out the door.
While taking the stairs.
Li Yunbin asked the investigator beside him, "What do you think of this person?"
"His psychological quality is quite good; he appears very calm. The questions he asked seemed well thought out, as if he had known for a long time. I even suspect that his filming of the entire incident wasn't accidental."
"Hmm. He's also a university student majoring in computer science in Tianhai City. Our team happens to be short on technicians, and young people have strong adaptability, so we can consider him."
Many people, after learning about the existence of supernatural beings, become abnormally agitated, and their subsequent lives are filled with panic, some even becoming neurotic.
However, Li Yunbin always felt that this young man was a bit strange.
'I wonder if it's just my imagination.'
Walking out of the building.
"Beep~ beep~ beep~"
Li Yunbin glanced at his phone; it was a call from his teammate, Qin Wanqing.
He walked a bit further away and answered the phone.
"Hello, how are things on your end?"
"I just went to their door, and this young man panicked and showed his fangs, so we apprehended him. However, his parents were quite scared, and the fight caused some commotion. Neighbors gathered around, and some said we were using excessive force. We're still inside, trying to talk to his parents."
"Okay, interrogate him as soon as possible. If there are still no clues, we'll go find Director Yang's friend this afternoon."
"Captain, what exactly is Director Yang's friend's ability? Can he help us?"
"He's a Vampire."
"A Vampire!?"
