You call me a calamity? But I am Hyper Zetton!

Noon the next day.

At the narrow yet cozy dining table, two beautiful women were wolfing down a table full of food.

Wu Bai smiled and put a few more pieces of meat into their bowls: "Eat slowly, no one will take it from you."

"There are still pork ribs simmering in the pot. We'll have corn and pork rib soup after school this afternoon."

Changing the subject, Wu Bai's tone softened: "Aunt Lin is having surgery tomorrow, so let's simmer the pork rib soup for a while and then take it to her this afternoon to help her recover."

Upon hearing the name "Aunt Lin," Su Nianzhen paused in her eating.

She looked up at Wu Bai.

Those eyes held not only gratitude, but also a dependence that she herself was unaware of.

"Thank you, Wu Bai, really..."

Wu Minmin suddenly poked her head out of the rice bowl, a grain of white rice still stuck to the corner of her mouth.

"Just saying thank you isn't enough."

"Sister Zhenzhen, why don't you become my sister-in-law?"

Su Nianzhen blushed to the roots of her ears, and hurriedly lowered her head, only focusing on stuffing white rice into her mouth.

Wu Bai glared at his sister, annoyed, and tapped her bowl lightly with his chopsticks: "Can't all this food shut you up?"

Wu Minmin stuck out her tongue, made a face at her brother, and then buried her head back into the bowl to continue fighting.

In her past life, Aunt Lin's surgery was scheduled for six o'clock tomorrow morning.

Zhenzhen will stay at the hospital all night to take care of her mother.

This led her to witness firsthand the tragedy of Hyper Zetton devouring Aunt Lin.

……

After the three finished their meal, they went to school.

Watching Su Nianzhen walk into the school gate, Wu Bai turned and walked towards the bustling street outside the school.

He was just about to find a quiet alleyway to search for signs of disaster.

Two tall figures in uniforms suddenly appeared from the side, completely blocking their path.

"You're Wu Bai?"

Wu Bai frowned slightly: "Yes, I am a police officer. May I ask... what can I do for you?"

The policeman next to me smiled and made a "please" gesture, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

"Your homeroom teacher, Wang Dehai, and his wife went missing last night. The situation at the scene suggests a possible disaster."

"Please come with us to assist with the investigation."

……

Police station, interrogation room.

Two policemen, one fat and one thin, sat opposite each other, their brows furrowed as they looked at a file.

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned to look at Wu Bai, who had an "innocent" expression.

The skinny policeman frowned and grumbled, "Is the police station some kind of auspicious place? Why are you here every day?"

Wu Bai shrugged, looking aggrieved.

"Officer, I'm innocent too! I just arrived at the school gate and you've already brought me here."

The portly policeman cleared his throat, tapped his fingers on the table, and said seriously, "Don't be nervous, it's just a routine inquiry."

"According to your classmate's statement, you were the only one who didn't attend class yesterday. Where were you during that time?"

"Who can prove it?"

Wu Bai feigned sudden realization, reached into his pocket, pulled out a crumpled piece of paper, and pushed it in front of the two men.

"I took a month-long leave to work and help support my family."

The portly policeman picked up the note, looked at the handwriting, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you just receive the 120,000 yuan reward for reporting disasters yesterday? Are you short of money?"

Without any hesitation, Wu Bai explained very naturally, "Qian Quan paid for my friend Su Nianzhen's mother's surgery."

"It's at Hope Hospital. You can definitely find the payment receipt in your system. My sister paid it herself."

"As for the leave slip, there are surveillance cameras in the school corridors. I went directly to my homeroom teacher to ask for leave when I entered the school yesterday, and he approved it in person."

This statement is logically sound, and even the chain of evidence is closed, making it virtually flawless.

The fat policeman and the thin policeman exchanged a glance.

"Okay, we'll verify it. Because it involves a disaster and a missing person case, you'll have to wait here a little while due to the procedures. Once the verification is complete, you can leave."

Wu Bai nodded obediently, placing his hands neatly on his knees.

"I will cooperate, I will definitely cooperate."

The two police officers stood up, took the files, and walked out, the soundproof door clicking shut behind them.

After confirming that the door was closed properly, Wu Bai's originally straight back relaxed slightly, and he leaned back in his chair.

His eyes seemed to be in a daze, but his ears twitched almost imperceptibly.

The enhanced hearing instantly penetrated the soundproof door, catching the deliberately hushed conversations in the corridor.

"...That's really strange. Why would the higher-ups send such an important figure down here?"

That was the voice of the thin policeman, filled with disbelief.

"Shh, keep your voice down." The fat policeman's voice was noticeably tense. "I heard that's a sixth-level expert."

"Sixth rank?" The skinny policeman gasped. "A captain-level figure of that caliber coming to this dump as a 'Calamity Identifier'? Isn't that overkill?"

The fat policeman lowered his voice even further.

"I heard she'll only stay for a month, and leave once the newly assigned official identification officer arrives."

The footsteps faded into the distance until they disappeared.

Inside the interrogation room, Wu Bai's brows furrowed more and more, and his fingers, resting on his knees, unconsciously tightened.

Sixth order?

How could such a powerful individual be parachuted into Hope Base City?

Even the strongest person in Hope Base City, the Speaker, is only at Tier 5.

This is definitely not normal.

Wu Bai felt his heart pound violently twice in his chest, and a strong intuition surged into his heart...

The arrival of this big shot is definitely related to me.

Have I been exposed?

impossible.

Everyone who witnessed his actions was already dead, even Ji An, whom he had only met yesterday.

and many more.

Wu Bai's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints. Besides the dead man and Ji An, there was another person...

……

Not long after, the door lock clicked again.

The fat policeman walked in carrying a cup of steaming water, while the thin policeman had vanished.

He placed a disposable paper cup in front of Wu Bai.

"Thank you, Uncle Fatty."

Wu Bai picked up the paper cup with both hands, blew on it to cool it down, and casually asked, pretending to be a curious child:

"Uncle Fatty, when our police station catches calamities, we don't just rely on luck, do we?"

"Without surveillance footage and clues, how would we find those monsters hiding in the crowd?"

Schools don't teach this kind of common sense, just like ordinary high school students don't learn criminal investigation techniques. Wu Bai's question was very appropriate for his status.

The chubby policeman was silent for a moment, then clicked his tongue and casually said, "It's not exactly a secret."

"Previously, there was a mental awakener in the bureau, Sequence 63, Eye of Judgment."

"We call him the 'Calamity Identifier' because he uses his sequencing abilities to find calamities in the population."

At this point, the chubby policeman sighed and shook his head: "But he sacrificed himself a month ago, so the department is indeed lacking in identification methods right now, and we can only wait for the main city to redeploy manpower."

"It's a pity that all types of mental awakeners have limitations."

"At the first level, one can only see through the soul of one person per day; at the second level, one can see through the soul of two people, and so on."

"Take those two calamities you reported yesterday, for example."

"If we don't know who's involved, it would take us a whole week to screen all the suspects."

"If we could explore indefinitely, humanity would have wiped out the calamities long ago." The fat policeman sighed, then waved his hand. "Alright, kid, don't ask about these things. Drink some water."

Wu Bai lowered his head, and under the guise of drinking water, he lowered his eyelids, concealing the glint of shrewdness that flashed in his eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder those three awakened individuals used such clumsy probing methods yesterday.

They only dared to attack and kill the opponent after the opponent revealed their true form.

He also wondered how such efficiency could maintain public order.

It turns out that the "eye" died, and this ability has a limited number of uses.

but……

Wu Bai gripped the paper cup tightly, his fingertips turning white.

The newcomer is a sixth-tier being; the situation is likely to become tricky.
