Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Snap! Possessed by the ravenous spirit, He Li opened his mouth and chewed up and swallowed the struggling bloodworm as if eating a spicy snack. The sound of blood bursting and bones cracking came from his mouth.

Zhao Hu and Zhou Xin were horrified.

It's simply because He Li is too cruel...

It was also terrifying.

Which company doesn't prioritize taking in normal investigators, instead starting with a massacre with no survivors?

Killing is one thing, but to make it so bloody?

Disemboweled and gutted, they grabbed out the monstrous creature and ate it raw?

"Tiger...Brother Tiger..."

"Is this...is this really our colleague?"

"Why...why do I feel..."

"Isn't he more like a monster?"

Clinging tightly to Zhao Hu's arm, Zhou Xin watched as the man in the suit, having devoured the bloodworm inside him, still seemed unsatisfied...

He Li, who was now eyeing the other corpses and disemboweling them to extract bloodworms and put them in his mouth to "chew them carefully," couldn't help but stammer and ask Zhao Hu a question.

Zhao Hu was also sweating profusely at this moment.

In the two months since he joined the Special Bureau, he had never seen such a strange and ruthless investigator.

At this moment, he also felt somewhat uncertain.

He couldn't help but raise his left wristwatch to check on He Li...

[Target locked, scan initiating!]

【Name: He Li】

[Identity: Investigator, Special Bureau, Ba City, Shu Prefecture]

[Department: Fierce Fang]

[Investigator Rank: Mystic Grade A!]

[Start Date: July 26, 2035]

[Note: Other information cannot be viewed.]

Huh? Profound level... Grade A? ???

Or did you just start working today?

Meaning... Initial Xuan level?

"Holy crap!!!" Upon seeing the information on his watch, Zhao Hu exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Xin, who was standing next to her, was also so shocked that she covered her mouth.

At this moment, both of them had a question in their minds...

What the hell is this monstrous newbie?

When they came to their senses and looked at He Li again, the fear in their eyes had turned into strong admiration. Unfortunately, He Li did not realize that he had gained two new fans.

His attention was entirely focused on his mind...

[Continuously devouring bloodworms!]

[Related abilities can be acquired repeatedly!]

[The ability of the bloodline transformation has been enhanced!]

He could only hear whispers echoing in his mind.

"I originally thought that the monsters also had spiritual energy that could accelerate my cultivation level, so I repeatedly ate them. I never expected that repeatedly eating them would actually enhance my existing abilities."

The whisper ended after the bloodworms were eaten.

He Li chuckled to himself, enjoying the pleasant sensation of his seventh bloodworm being properly opened up after consuming a large amount of bloodworms.

This trip to catch up was a huge success.

"Big...Big brother smokes?"

Suddenly, a sound rang in my ears.

He Li turned his head upon hearing this, only to see Zhao Hu offering him cigarettes with both hands and looking at him with a face full of awe.

"I won't smoke, I'm a model student!"

"Then... would you like some water, big brother?"

"Okay!"

He Li nodded, took the bottle of mineral water, and started drinking.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu cautiously asked, "Um... I wonder if Brother Li could give me his contact information?" He was a little uneasy, after all, someone like He Li was destined to shine in the future.

They might not even bother to befriend you.

However, Zhao Hu was clearly overthinking it.

"Sure, that's perfect. You can call me anytime if you encounter any strange or unpredictable events in the future."

"I don't have many hobbies."

"I just love doing weird stuff!"

He Li responded with a smile.

He believed that casting a wide net was the key to catching more fish, and he wished that everyone would call on him for help when they encountered monsters, so that he could eat a lot of monsters every day to strengthen himself.

Zhao Hu, who had exchanged contact information with He Li, became even more excited upon hearing He Li's words.

An invincible support system, who wouldn't want that?

He's managed to latch onto a powerful figure.

But after his initial excitement, he seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked, "By the way, what's Brother Li doing here?"

"You just started working here today, according to your resume?"

"Then they probably won't be sent to support us, right?"

"Me?" He Li put down the mineral water bottle.

"I chased after that guy in the suit. That piece of trash dared to threaten me over the phone. How could I tolerate that? I won't be able to sleep peacefully until I kill him through the phone line."

He said it was only natural.

Zhao Hu and Zhou Xin's eyelids twitched wildly as they listened.

Goodness, he's ruthless!

One harsh word, and they'll come knocking and rip you off!

Just as they were filled with alarm, He Li asked, "So, what exactly happened here?"

"I also unexpectedly learned that these parasites who call themselves the Blood Gang were supposed to be delivering something?"

"This..." Zhao Hu scratched his head.

Zhou Xin then added, "Our understanding is also limited."

"What is known is that bloodworms, which grow stronger by feeding on human blood, are extradimensional creatures, and that someone is carrying the bloodworm mother and hiding in Shuzhou."

"That man was spreading bloodworms everywhere."

"However, he did not intend to take revenge on society."

"He has a purpose, and he periodically seeks out those parasites to collect the bloodworm's essence..."

"That is, blood containing spiritual energy."

"We came here because we were tasked with checking out the parasites here."

"We were just careless..."

"I never imagined there would be so many parasites..."

Zhou Xin's words resolved many of He Li's questions.

For example, why did Wang Rui set her sights on him?

That was probably because he had consumed the Marrow Cleansing Pill and a large amount of Spirit Qi Pills to cultivate, making his body's Qi and blood extremely concentrated, which attracted Wang Rui, who loved to drink blood.

Thinking of this, He Li couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't the department care about the guy who released the bloodworms?"

"It's not that I'm ignoring it!" Zhao Hu said helplessly.

"The main problem is that we can't find it right now."

"That guy is really good at hiding."

"Previously, there were other parasite groups that had been targeted, and the department originally planned to wait and catch them."

"But that guy somehow figured it out beforehand..."

"Moreover, those parasites don't know much about this person, let alone our Special Affairs Bureau."

"I see," He Li nodded.

He guessed that the person was probably also an Awakened One.

Otherwise, he would have been caught long ago.

As they were talking, several vehicles bearing the logo of the Special Bureau suddenly drove up from not far away, and a group of investigators from the Wind Foot Department, along with Mu Lan, Li Xu, and others, got out and walked over.

"Sister Mu? What brings you here?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, He Li was suspicious.

Mu Lan shrugged: "I came here to provide support."

"We finished our mission with the Mountain Shakers, and since we had nothing else to do and happened to hear about a parasite gang here, we thought we'd come check it out. Who knew you'd be gone before we even got there..."

As she said this, Li Xu, who was standing next to her, laughed and said, "You busted a parasite gang on your very first day at work..."

"You're really like someone trying to poke a frog with a steel pipe..."

"Excellent!"

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the scene...

Li Xu's expression turned strange.

"Good heavens, you really don't leave any survivors."

"No, you didn't even leave a complete corpse."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Lan leaned closer and said with a smile, "Someone posted about you cutting open Wang Rui's stomach and eating bloodworms raw downstairs at your house, but the bureau stopped it."

"But quite a few people in the bureau still saw it."

"Now, your colleagues in the bureau both respect and fear you."

Hearing this, He Li chuckled awkwardly.

Mu Lan then asked in a low voice, "Eating bloodworms isn't a special fetish, is it?"

"Is that your supernatural powers at work?"

"You...you've really gained a new ability?"

"Yes!" He Li nodded.

"I can have bloodline removal."

He Li wasn't surprised that Mu Lan guessed he had gained a new ability; after all, his ability wasn't worth speculating about, so it was normal for him to be guessed.

Back in the bureau, Deputy Director Li Qing probably guessed that he had already guessed the outcome since he didn't ask about his abilities and results.

However, speculation is just speculation.

Hearing He Li admit it himself at this moment...

Mu Lan couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

"You possess such supernatural powers..."

"It's hard not to become a top expert."

"Sigh~ Compared to a peerless genius like you, we mortals are far inferior!"

After sighing, she said in a low, serious voice, "Your abilities are destined to be revealed. Be careful, as you may be targeted by supernatural criminal organizations in the future."

"Trying to target me?" He Li narrowed his eyes.

Mu Lan nodded: "Yes, apart from those of us who want to protect Blue Star..."

"And then there are those awakened extremists."

"Or perhaps it's training martial artists to be mentally challenged..."

"They worship other dimensions and spend their days opposing our Special Affairs Bureau, even ambushing our promising talents, trying to weaken our ability to proactively welcome the arrival of other dimensions."

"This kind of traitor to Earth, traitor to humanity..."

"They're all beyond redemption!"

"If you encounter them, kill them all if you can defeat them."

"If you can't beat them, run!"
