408: Section 408

Meanwhile, the Monster Hunting Bureau focuses on disturbances caused by Yao Beasts.

Beneath them is the Public Security Bureau, which patrols day and night to maintain order.

In such a secure environment, the possibility of a Yao Beast escaping and causing trouble is extremely slim.

Therefore, when Wei Nan said this.

Lin Yi didn't quite believe it.

As if to verify his statement, Wei Nan took out his phone.

He found a video: "Take a look for yourself, someone filmed this on the street last night!"

"Videos like this have gone viral online!"

Lin Yi took the phone and watched it carefully.

On a bustling, busy street.

A female corpse fell from the sky and landed on the street.

Fortunately, it didn't hit any passing pedestrians or vehicles, and the person filming was even bolder.

They walked right up to it. Besides the deceased being smashed beyond recognition.

The most striking thing was that there wasn't a shred of flesh on her right arm and right leg, only broken white bones.

It looked as if something had meticulously gnawed them clean.

Not even a trace of meat was left...

The video ended there.

Lin Yi looked up at Wei Nan: "Was this done by a Yao Beast?"

"There's more, let me find it for you!"

Wei Nan took the phone back and operated it quickly.

Then handed it back to Lin Yi.

This video was still at the place where the body had just been discovered.

However, many onlookers had gathered, and the body had already been taken away.

The people in the footage were still discussing what had just happened.

And just then, on the wall of the building.

A dark, blob-like thing began to spread downwards.

It looked like asphalt, wriggling rapidly.

As soon as that asphalt hit the ground, it rapidly transformed into a withered, sentient tree.

It was over two meters tall, and its branches were like tentacles.

The tree roots turned into two legs, and amidst the panicked screams of the people around.

This sentient tree demon took large strides and sprinted across the road.

With a few leaps, it disappeared from the frame.

After seeing this video.

Lin Yi frowned deeply: "Is this a Strange Beast?"

"That's right!"

Wei Nan took the phone back and nodded: "This is the video from last night, it's already gone viral online!"

"Some people have even dug up more rumors!"

"That Strange Beast escaped from the Forbidden Zone Battlefield, and several people have already died tragically!"

"The state of their deaths is exactly the same as the girl you just saw; their right arms and legs were completely gnawed away, leaving only bare white bones!"

"Some people online are analyzing that the safety of the New District is about to be shattered!"

"Because the Forbidden Zone Battlefield is about to fall!"

"Once the battlefield loses its balance, those Yao Beasts and Strange Beasts trapped in the forbidden zone will escape and flood into the residential areas!"

"Just imagine what kind of situation it would be if countless Yao Beasts and Strange Beasts ran out?"

"Even with the garrison troops, the Monster Hunting Bureau, and the Martial Suppression Bureau, they wouldn't be able to stop it at all!"

After Wei Nan finished speaking.

Zhou Qi and Sun Tao both nodded as well.

Even Shen Mengyi completely believed what Wei Nan said.

Because posts and speculations like these.

Are a dime a dozen online; there is never a shortage of people who love to analyze and nitpick details.

From this Strange Beast incident, they could analyze a lot of things.

The key is that their analysis was actually correct...

Now, a small-scale panic has already begun to spread in the New District.

In other words, if that Strange Beast cannot be captured or killed as soon as possible.

This panic will continue to spread.

It's just like a virus, spreading from person to person, stirring up the fear deep in people's hearts.

And it will amplify this fear infinitely, until it reaches an uncontrollable point.

"Sigh, before coming to the New District, everyone was full of longing and anticipation!"

"Who would have thought that we've only been here for a little over a month, not even two months, and before we could enjoy the good life for a few days, it's about to end?" Sun Tao said somewhat dejectedly.

Zhou Qi glanced at him: "Stop talking nonsense, it's just one Strange Beast, the online speculations aren't accurate!"

"It's all nonsense. Once the Monster Hunting Bureau slays that Strange Beast, won't everything be fine?"

Wei Nan also nodded: "That's right, don't be such a worrywart. Are you scared by just one Strange Beast?"

Shen Mengyi didn't speak and kept her head down, eating her meal.

But judging by her mood, it seemed a bit different now.

"Oh right, Hu Quan sent me a message yesterday!"

"He has already come to the New District and reported to his university. He chose a second-rate university, called something like Principal Yan Yang University. Li Xuewen, Tong Ye, and the others all failed to get in; they weren't admitted to any university!"

"However, Coach Yang recommended them to the Martial Arts Police Station, and they have already started working!"

Zhou Qi's words managed to break the somewhat oppressive atmosphere from just moments ago.

When Lin Yi and the others heard the news about Hu Quan and the others.

They immediately became interested.

"Principal Yan Yang University? What do they teach? Which city is it in?" Wei Nan asked curiously.

Zhou Qi shook his head: "I'm not sure about the specifics, it seems to be related to forging, right?"

"I also looked up information about this university online!"

"Although it's a second-rate university, their forging technology is quite impressive!"

"After graduation, you don't have to worry about finding a job. You can choose the Weapons Bureau, or join a company to work, and the salary is quite good!"

Zhou Qi's words made Wei Nan, Sun Tao, and the others all laugh.

"Yeah, that's Hu Quan's personality. His family's situation isn't great either, and he said from the start that he wanted to find a university where employment is easy. Plus, with his build, learning to forge weapons is actually quite suitable!" Sun Tao said with a smile.

Wei Nan also nodded: "How about we arrange to meet up with him one of these days for a small gathering?"

"Sure, you guys can just contact him in the group chat yourselves!" Zhou Qi replied with a smile.

"It seems like ever since we came to the New District, the small group chat hasn't made a sound, right?"

"Yeah, after arriving in the New District, we've been busy adapting to the new environment and busy improving ourselves, so we ended up neglecting the small group chat!"

"Li Xuewen not getting admitted is truly a bit surprising, but being able to work at the Martial Arts Police Station is not bad either!"

"I remember he received an admission letter, didn't he?"

"Yeah, I remember he received one too!"

"I'm not sure, should we go ask in the group chat?"

"Who's going to ask?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

It's really not easy to bring up something like this.

They clearly received an admission letter, but then they were dropped.

Something must have happened in between, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Finally, everyone's gaze fell upon Zhou Qi.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "You are the Senior Brother of the Martial Arts Hall, your prestige is higher, you should be the one to ask!"

"Exactly, Li Xuewen has always admired you; it's most appropriate for you to ask!" Sun Tao also quickly added.

Seeing them all say this, Zhou Qi nodded.

"Fine, I'll ask, but you all have to back me up. If you notice the atmosphere is off, help me smooth things over!"

"Understood!"

"Don't worry, leave it to us!"

Several people all promised repeatedly.

Zhou Qi opened the small group chat he hadn't checked in a long time.

After pondering for a moment, he typed out a few words and sent them.
