Card Master: My Special Feature - Choose One of Three

In the chat software, in the six-team group, Shi Shanjun's avatar was always grayed out.

Pan Lingzhen's messages kept popping up on the message page, conveying mission details to the members of Team Six.

"An emergency has occurred on Guanshan Road. It is suspected that a demon has possessed the person. The estimated spiritual energy level is 20, and there is no tendency for the spirit realm to develop."

In the Divine Continent Alliance, "monster" is a general term that includes both monsters and spiritual beasts.

Monsters refer to non-human creatures that can cultivate spiritual energy and possess rudimentary human characteristics.

The supernatural tales, the demons and monsters appearing in folk legends, the birdmen of the Holy Cross Alliance and the beast-headed, human-bodied creatures of Sun Town all belong to this category.

Psionic beasts are wild animals that have mutated under the influence of psionic energy.

The ethereal jellyfish and the carrion ray belong to this category.

"Psionic level 20! Has the Field Operations Department gone mad?!"

"I'm level 13, Sister Zhen is level 18, and Brother Bai is level 14, but we've been assigned a level 20 task!"

Yan Li's words are silent, but his accusations are deafening.

"Correction: I am currently at psionic level sixteen."

"Your improvement speed is simply outrageous," Yan Li said, looking utterly exasperated.

He trained hard and managed to raise his psionic level by one level.

On the other hand, what did Bai Miao do?

I spend all my time sleeping or just wandering around and walking the cat, and yet I've improved so quickly!

"That's still not enough. If the three of us get together, we can still make a dish."

The difference between small plates and large plates.

Pan Lingzhen ignored Yan Li and sent a message to Bai Miao: "Where are you? Yan Li and I are coming to pick you up now."

"Yujiang University."

"We're at the door now, come out." Pan Lingzhen replied instantly.

Bai Miao could now understand why there were only two people left in Team Six back then.

Pan Lingzhen's logistical support was just as effective as Shishan Army's frontal offensive capabilities.

In the back seat, Yan Li looked resigned; without Shi Shanjun, he had lost his confidence.

"Brother Bai, if things don't look good, we'll retreat immediately."

"Look at you, you coward. I'll show you what I'm capable of today, so you'll know that I'm not called 'brother' for nothing." Bai Miao patted the tapioca pearls a couple of times.

Pan Lingzhen secretly observed Bai Miao through the rearview mirror and, seeing that Bai Miao showed no sign of putting on a brave face, felt slightly relieved.

A dozen minutes later, the group arrived at Guanshan Road.

Security personnel from the command center outside the old residential area set up a cordon in advance.

A group of people stood outside the cordon, peering into the cordon.

Several aunties and grandmothers were cracking melon seeds, pointing and whispering, using words like "egg," "daughter-in-law," and "muddled" in their conversation.

"Young man, it's chaotic in here. Don't go too far forward to watch the fun. The view from here is just as good as from the front."

Bai Miao was stopped by an aunt. He was young, handsome, and had a clean-cut demeanor, which made him very popular with the elders.

"Sister, what's going on in here?" Bai Miao asked.

"You still call me 'sister'? I'm old enough to be your grandmother."

That's what she said, but her aunt was all smiles and didn't hesitate to tell Bai Miao some news.

She looked around, lowered her voice, and said, "Old Liang's family is so desperate for a grandson that they've heard of some shady trick somewhere."

Despite the objections of the old man's son and daughter-in-law, he insisted on trying it.

"Now look what's happened, the wife didn't get pregnant, but the old man did."

"Yes, I saw Lao Liang's belly. When I gave birth to my son, A Liang, my belly wasn't even half the size of his," an old woman chimed in, "It's probably twins."

The wife got the old man pregnant with twins—how rare!

No wonder so many people were gathered around to watch the spectacle.

When Fen Yuan first heard such a bizarre story, her eyes widened and she covered her mouth, afraid that she might accidentally make a sound and scare someone.

The security officer in charge of liaison at the command center, upon receiving news of Bai Miao and his team's arrival at the scene, came out from behind the cordon to make contact.

As soon as the middle-aged security guard stepped out of the cordon, a panicked and bewildered old woman rushed over, wailing:

"I really didn't know I would get Lao Liang into trouble! They said that as long as you went to the lecture, you would get an egg as a reward."

"Who knows..."

She then angrily tore at the young woman beside her, yelling, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't failed to leave an heir for the Liang family, how could I have..."

"Enough!" Her son protected his wife, and the whole family cried and made a scene.

"Old Liang's family usually seems so smart, how could they do something so foolish?"

The aunties sighed, and the middle-aged security guard walked towards Bai Miao's direction, politely saying:

"You must be agents from the Special Operations Bureau. My name is Wu Kuan. The situation is under control. You will take over from here on out. We will follow orders."

"Officer Wu, don't say that. We're good at dealing with monsters, but your command office is the real professional when it comes to investigating cases."

Wu Kuan chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief, but his attitude towards Bai Miao became even more serious.

In Yujiang City, only the Special Operations Bureau is a fully-equipped department. The security officers in the Command Office are mostly ordinary people who are responsible for the daily management and security work of Yujiang City.

Wu Kuan's physique is stronger than that of an average person, and he has undergone professional training, but compared to a card master, he is far inferior.

I heard that the Sixth Action Team sent by the Secret Service has a newly appointed, young temporary captain.

He was worried that the man would be arrogant and difficult to get along with, but he turned out to be very easy to talk to.

"This young man has a bright future; he's become a Secret Service captain at such a young age!"

The aunts and grandmothers were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

The atmosphere was still lively, but with a touch more reverence.

Bai Miao led six team members and Wu Kuan across the cordon to enter the scene.

The aunts and grandmothers suddenly realized what was happening.

"The Secret Service has intervened. This matter involving the Liang family will most likely involve demonic beasts. What if this leads to the arrival of the Spirit Realm?!"

We need to hurry home, pack our things, and prepare to evacuate at any time.

With far fewer onlookers, people went home and packed their bags early, just in case.

A few young people, standing apart from the crowd and watching from the sidelines, looked at Bai Miao and his group with visible envy in their eyes.

Are these the Secret Service agents? Even the security guards in the command center have to be subservient to them.

"The Liang family apartment is just ahead."

Wu Kuan led the way, while the old man in the apartment made a croaking sound, like a frog.

Bai Miao activated his sixth spiritual technique, Spirit Eye, and discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy in the Liang family apartment was far higher than in other parts of the building.

This spiritual energy is condensed and does not disperse, clearly indicating that it is not unclaimed spiritual energy.

"Wait by the door, don't get too close," Bai Miao instructed Pan Lingzhen.

Inside the room, a seventy-year-old man was tied to a chair with his hands behind his back. He was thin and bony, with skin clinging to his bones, and only his belly was bulging.

The old man's eyes were crooked and his mouth was slanted. The things inside his belly were playfully pushing out one bulge after another on his stomach.

Yan Li mustered his courage and went forward to check the old man's breathing.

Bai Miao activated [Shared Vision]. The threads of fate on the old man's body were chaotic and noisy, but none of them pointed to his wife, children, and daughter-in-law outside the apartment building.

"Yan Li, step back!"
