82: Sharp, brutal, but efficient!

Donghai City Psionic Bureau, Command Center.

On the massive screen, live footage from Huai Gu District was being played.

There were static images as well as dynamic videos.

Everyone in the command center watched the screen in silence.

This was Chen Nian's action report for today.

The visuals were the same as always.

Bloody, brutal, and a complete mess everywhere.

Severed limbs and shattered internal organs covered the entire field of vision.

Dark blood had practically repainted the ground, so thick it seemed impossible to wash away.

However, after several days of this "baptism," the staff in the command center had developed a significant resistance.

The initial horror and discomfort could no longer be seen on their faces.

It had been replaced by a calmness that bordered on numbness.

However, beneath that calm, the whispers never truly stopped.

"Special Agent Chen Nian's style really hasn't changed a bit..."

"More than just not changing, I feel like his strikes are getting more ruthless every time."

"Look at the state of that Demonic Evil's death; just how much power would it take to do that?"

"You get used to it. As long as the mission is completed, the process... the process isn't important."

Amidst the discussion, Intelligence Group Leader Lin Zhengyang walked to the front.

He cleared his throat, and the entire command center instantly fell silent.

"Everyone, regarding the Huai Gu District demon cave fissure incident, we will now conduct the summary report."

Lin Zhengyang's voice spread throughout the hall via the microphone.

"Under Special Agent Chen Nian's lightning-fast operation, the demon cave fissure incident that has plagued Huai Gu District for many days has been declared completely resolved as of today."

"All overflowing Demonic Evils have been purged, and the source of the fissure has been destroyed."

"Furthermore, Special Agent Chen Nian, by his own strength alone, cleared out the entire interior of the demon cave."

"According to our life detectors and energy residue analysis, there are no longer any living Demonic Evil units within the demon cave."

These words were like a depth charge, violently detonating within the quiet command center.

Everyone exploded.

The crowd that had been numb and calm just moments ago now had faces full of disbelief.

"What?!"

"Special Agent Chen Nian actually cleared an entire demon cave by himself?!"

"My god, that's a demon cave. The number and strength of the Demonic Evils inside are incomparable to the small fry outside, and he actually wiped it out alone?"

"Is this really something a human can do? What kind of monster is he?"

"Also, I remember the issue with this Huai Gu District demon cave had been going on for a long time, right? And yet, as soon as he took over, it was resolved within a day?"

"To be fair, his methods are indeed a bit sharp and brutal, but this efficiency... it's truly unmatched."

"This isn't just high efficiency anymore; this is a miracle!"

However, it wasn't over yet. Lin Zhengyang pressed a remote, and a specifically enlarged image occupied the entire screen.

It was the massive corpse of a Demonic Evil. Its upper body had been completely shattered by some terrifying force, its death state incredibly miserable.

"Additionally, we found this in the demon cave."

"Judging by the energy Rank remaining in the corpse, Special Agent Chen Nian also independently killed a Fifth-Rank Demonic Evil during the process of clearing the demon cave!"

Boom—!

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately broke into another uproar.

"Fifth-Rank?! He killed a Fifth-Rank Demonic Evil by himself?!"

"Did I hear that right? That's a Fifth-Rank, a terrifying existence capable of easily destroying a city!"

"No, are the things he's killing getting more and more ridiculous?"

"A few days ago it was Third-Rank Peak, then it was Fourth-Rank Peak, and today it's straight to Fifth-Rank? Is his leveling speed on a rocket?"

"Too strong, he's simply too strong..."

"He's a true deity!"

For a time, exclamations and praises rang out one after another throughout the command center.

People's perception of Chen Nian was refreshed once again, and that feeling of awe became increasingly thick.

This was no longer simple strength.

This was a crushing level of strength that defied all logic.

Whether he had been hiding his strength from the beginning or his growth rate was truly this terrifyingly fast—

Regardless of which possibility it was, it proved that he was an existence that could not be measured by common sense.

Many high-level officials present now wore expressions of relief.

Letting Chen Nian join the Spiritual Energy Bureau,

and giving him the highest treatment from the very beginning,

winning him over and stabilizing him at all costs—

this was definitely the most correct decision their Spiritual Energy Bureau had ever made.

In fact... they now felt that the current treatment given to Chen Nian was still too little.

With the value and potential he was currently displaying, no amount of overestimation would be an exaggeration.

They had to give him better, give him more, to show the highest respect to such a great deity!
