Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

It has now lost much of the power it gained from spreading negativity and is on its last legs.

By nine o'clock, Zhang Chaoqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up. There were no more dark clouds or fog around him, but it was still not over. There was still his father's factory, Lao Chen Tan Yue, the Extraordinary Management Bureau, the investigators, and everyone at the school.

...

Central investigation department.

Inside the central monitoring room, a huge blue light barrier displays the geography and land area of ​​the entire Central Kingdom.

The spiritual energy tides, calm as a lake, rippled gently, signifying that the entire Central Kingdom territory was peaceful and stable under the monitoring satellites.

Suddenly, beep, beep, red light flashed on the map barrier.

"Report: An abnormal bio-energy fluctuation has been detected in Tian'an City. The fluctuation data is consistent with the previous ones, confirming the appearance of the alien beast Jie Gou!"

Within the monitored area, several investigators rushed over without stopping. The red light only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing abruptly, almost the same time as the last time.

"Further narrow down the area, immediately contact Huang Feng and the others to proceed!"

"Upload the address area information data to their communicator!"

At 9:1 p.m. that evening, Huang Feng, Bai Lu, and the sixth-level martial artist team, based on the regional information transmitted from their superiors via their communicators, stood at the foot of Qingshui Community, looking up at the brightly lit homes.

This was also Zhang Chaoqiang's home. Without hesitation, a few seconds later...

Bai Lu and Huang Feng knocked on Zhang Chaoqiang's door. Meanwhile, the other investigation team used detectors to investigate each floor to see if they could find anything.

The parents opened the door for Huang Feng and his companion, whom they had met before, and were puzzled by their identities.

After explaining their identities and backgrounds, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei couldn't understand anything about the Central Investigation Department, but their ghostly experience was still fresh in their minds.

"You mean you saw a ghost, and you remember what it looked like?" Huang Feng scratched the back of his neck behind his ear. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a Taoist priest exorcising ghosts.

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were so frightened that they were dizzy and couldn't recall any of the details. They only claimed that after the thing popped out, it disappeared...

Huang Feng and Bai Lu's gazes were fixed on Zhang Chaoqiang, who had remained silent throughout the entire process in the living room.

After asking to speak privately, the group went to the stairwell.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, but perhaps the Jie Gou really does exist in your father Zhang Huolong, just as you say."

"Although nothing has happened yet, for safety reasons, we'll probably have to take your father away for a while."

There weren't so many coincidences. When the bio-energy fluctuations of the strange beast appeared in Qingshui Community, coupled with what Zhang Chaoqiang had said before, even a fool could have noticed something amiss.

No, it's on me now.

Zhang Chaoqiang told the truth. After a moment of contemplation, Huang Feng paused and glanced at Bai Lu beside him at Zhang Chaoqiang's change of words.

Are you being overly anxious...?

Ding! Zhang Chaoqiang is about to transmit the message normally to the two of them...

"Did you see it with your own eyes? Bai Lu immediately notified his superiors..."

Chapter 90 We are very sorry, we are very sorry (3,000 words)

"Did Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang witness this firsthand? Bai Lu, immediately notify your superiors to implement a temporary emergency plan and summon all team members back immediately..."

After things returned to normal, the high-low duo seemed much more reliable. Even if it was just empty talk, Zhang Chaoqiang, as an outstanding genius of the Central Country, certainly deserved attention for what he said, regardless of whether it was reasonable or not.

They assumed a protective stance, ready for combat at any moment. Within seconds, the other five investigators from the team caught up with Zhang Chaoqiang. The seven of them thoroughly examined and checked Zhang Chaoqiang to confirm that he was unharmed.

It was immediately decided to take Zhang Chaoqiang back to the investigation department first, and then implement a targeted guidance plan. It was only a matter of time before the body was forced out of Zhang Chaoqiang's body. The headquarters had the equipment to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

Zhang Chaoqiang somewhat regretted restoring it to normal too early; they had been a bit too reliable.

"Uncle investigators, don't worry, I'm fine. It's temporarily sealed inside my body. Please give me one day."

What does it mean to be "sealed inside the body"?

Zhang Chaoqiang then skipped over some details, only stating that by chance, the hook had burrowed into his body and was sealed by the Mountain-Sealing Seal that he had stolen from the Golden Armor.

Indeed, this is a valid point, and Bai Lu finds it reasonable.

Because this strange beast only has a second-tier biological energy level, according to ordinary life strength, it is probably weaker than a monster of the same level.

However, their special abilities, such as concealing and spreading symptoms, are difficult to predict. Perhaps it's a case of God treating them equally, as both have their own advantages.

Therefore, even though Zhang Chaoqiang is about to master the Mountain Sealing Seal, it can be considered a fourth-tier martial skill. Suppressing a beast that is weaker than an ordinary second-tier beast is a piece of cake.

However, Huang Feng and the others were still worried about what Zhang Chaoqiang was going to do in this short day. They were also concerned about whether the beast inside his body posed any danger. In any case, he should have been sent to headquarters for removal treatment as soon as possible.

Seeing that the group was really stubborn, Zhang Chaoqiang had no choice but to tell them the truth about the abacus.

The fact that he has become mentally dull, stupid, and unreliable indicates that Jie Gou has been spreading the plague, but he is probably too weak to spread any serious diseases.

Upon learning that he had been infected, Huang Feng and Bai Lu looked incredulous and muttered, "Impossible..." But upon closer reflection, it seemed to be true.

For ordinary people, realizing that they have suddenly gone from being smart to being stupid is a hard fact to accept, but for them, as the designated investigators of the Central State, recognizing their own shortcomings does not make them feel ashamed.

Therefore, they learned from Zhang Chaoqiang that the other party's plan for tomorrow was to restore all the other affected people to their original state.

Secondly, Zhang Chaoqiang also informed them that there were certain problems with the information collected by the central investigation department.

First of all, it's not only the most severe plagues that spread. Although Zhang Huolong is somewhat unreliable, Zhang Chaoqiang would never believe it; he is the most foolish person in the world.

Furthermore, one can use the power of the hook to spread one's happiness and normalcy, so this research has certain flaws.

Huang Feng pondered for a moment, then casually put his hand on Bai Lu's shoulder and said, "This information and data is the result of our predecessors' consideration of various aspects. If it were today, it would be equivalent to publishing dozens of SCI papers in succession, and finally arriving at a rigorous conclusion."

However, what you said, Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, doesn't make no mistake. Perhaps we could conduct a comprehensive assessment of your father through various tests, such as electroencephalography (EEG), to see how much of his "brain drain" he has, and what percentage of the nation he might surpass.

Zhang Chaoqiang: "..."

"Uncle Investigator, could you also give my parents a thorough, comprehensive test? Like, to see if they have any martial arts talent, cultivation talent, or other extraordinary abilities?"

Zhang Huolong was able to attract the possession of the seemingly mindless, subconscious Jie Gou, which means that there must be a place in Zhang Huolong's body that is attractive and absorbent enough.

He preferred to believe that his parents truly possessed the strength and talent of unparalleled heroes.

So, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were taken away by the investigators for a full-body examination without any explanation.

This is what he told his parents: "Mom and Dad, I won the lottery! I got three free medical checkups. Let's go together..."

I initially thought their clumsy and absurd rhetoric might not convince them, but to my surprise, they laughed and said, "My son is so lucky, he's benefited from my success," and then went with the investigator...

Zhang Chaoqiang's resolve wavered instantly.

The next day, under Lao Chen's guidance, Zhang Chaoqiang managed to resolve the issue of Lao Chen and Tan Yue's condition by influencing them normally.

After arriving at the school, Zhang Chaoqiang immediately sought out Jin Jia and the teachers in the office.

This helped to spread the message to them and their classmates, restoring their morale and learning efficiency.

Of course, the primary school should also have it. Zhang Chaoqiang still remembers the first time he saw the shawl hook. At that time, it probably already influenced the teachers in the primary school.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to prove why everyone could forget to notify the person involved about skipping a grade.

After the recovery, the Golden Armor and the Extraordinary Administration Bureau postponed the first secret realm trial for Class 1 of Grade 11 on the same day.

The reason is that the level of the secret realm they applied for was incorrect; it was not level zero, but level one.

For the first time, Zhang Chaoqiang was relieved that he had captured the hook in the early stages of its spread; otherwise, if it had continued to evolve in this way, the harm would have been greater than that of a plague.

Only after everything was restored to its original state could this farce finally come to an end.

That night, for safety's sake, Zhang Chaoqiang called Lao Chen to act as his bodyguard.

Even though there were two seventh-level and five sixth-level martial artists present.

For some reason, Zhang Chaoqiang felt that Huang Feng and Bai Lu seemed a bit hesitant.

After careful troop deployment, they did not slacken in the slightest when facing Jie Gou, even though it was only a second-tier creature.

After the formation was complete, one of the sixth-level martial artists took out a metal capsule from his waist. The sound of it opening was extremely crisp, and at the same time, the faint starlight flowing inside adorned the misty night.

"This is a revolving bottle, used to capture a trace of spiritual power from the hook. As exotic beasts of heaven and earth, their bodies are constructed from pure spiritual power. Even if only a trace of spiritual power remains, it will gradually recover and grow over time."

There are two reasons why we will not completely eradicate it.

1. Sample collection and record keeping are controlled by the Central Investigation Department.

Second: By using the bodies of exotic beasts, we can absorb and refine them, just like absorbing the crystal cores of demonic beasts. If the timing, location, and people are all right, we may have the opportunity to gain some special abilities.

This ability, called a mechanistic ability, is different from martial arts techniques. I believe you, Zhang Chaoqiang, are aware of it; we've been infected by its abilities—that's the mechanistic ability of the Hook. If it weren't for you, we might have remained foolish, or even faced danger. You should understand the terrifying nature of this mechanism.”

This is something that is not taught in high school courses.

Simply put, exotic beasts represent mechanics, while monsters represent numerical values.

It's equivalent to a 100% chance of inflicting poison, and even a ninth-tier demon beast cannot avoid it.

Although the mechanics of a monster are strong, if it encounters a monster with high stats head-on, it will be completely outmatched by the numbers, rendering all its mechanics ineffective.

At this point, Bai Lu and Huang Feng glanced at Zhang Chaoqiang with a thoughtful expression and said, "Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, I'm afraid our investigators won't have the opportunity to try to refine and obtain the special mechanism of the Jade Hook."

"Why?" Zhang Chaoqiang looked at Old Chen with a calm and collected expression, just smiling as he looked at him, seemingly as steady as Mount Tai. He immediately looked away.

"It's because the unique abilities of different mythical beasts can only be absorbed and acquired by one person. Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, you've already obtained its abilities, haven't you?"

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chaoqiang was so frank… Huang Feng now thought that Zhang Chaoqiang was precocious for his age, clearly already knowing that they knew he had acquired this special ability…

"So what is this mechanism's capability?"

"diffusion."

The investigation department gave him a sense of security, and he didn't hide anything, but he won't go into further details.

"Okay, let's get started!"

When Zhang Chaoqiang focused his mind on his chest, he seemed to sense Jie Gou's faint, dying voice.

The investigators in the area were all on high alert, and even Old Chen dared not be careless.

"Untied!"

Zhang Chaoqiang removed the mountain-sealing seal from its body, and then Jie Gou's spirit fell off Zhang Chaoqiang's body like a cannonball. Like a drowned dog, Jie Gou flapped its wings and fluttered to the ground, trying to take off and soar into the sky.

Suddenly, Zhang Chaoqiang felt as if dawn had broken...

A dazzling array of flashes burst forth before my eyes, creating a visually stunning spectacle reminiscent of the cheap mobile games my dad, Zhang Huolong, used to play. Once a team battle started, it was impossible to distinguish friend from foe.

The attacks from everyone landed squarely on Jie Gou, and the monster was directly crushed by the sky-high numerical values. By the time Zhang Chaoqiang was able to open his eyes, this numerical crushing had already come to an end.
