As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

Faced with Shen Qing's gaze, Xie Chong's eyes became somewhat unfocused.

"Forehead……"

He paused for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "This is something that should only be known by members of the Night Owl crew or captains of the Hummingbird crew..."

However, judging from the current situation, it seems they'll have to tell, but please don't spread it around yet.

"Remember those two rain showers a few days ago?"

Shen Qing nodded; of course he remembered.

Two days ago, before the second rain shower, he killed a demon for the first time in a real sense, and then got into trouble.

There was also a female镖头 (bodyguard/escort) who, around that time, managed to find her way to his residence and even spread rumors of it being haunted.

Everything happened at once.

"It was those two rain showers."

Xie Chong frowned slightly. "To be precise, it's a dense fog that appears randomly during rain showers. Each time it appears, it's accompanied by some demons, and occasionally others as well."

"Night Owl and his team just happened to encounter two dense fogs in the same location within a short period of time. With so many demons, things got chaotic, which led to the mission's failure."

At this point, his tone became slightly lower.

"Even the captain and his men were injured."

Although they had some disagreements with Night Owl, those were just minor skirmishes; the real enemy they needed to fight together was the demon.

"This village experienced a severe fog a couple of years ago."

Xie Chong suddenly turned his gaze to the abandoned village in the distance.

"According to statistics from the research department, the probability of fog recurring in areas that have experienced it once is higher."

The government then spent money to find a pretext to relocate the villagers, claiming it was due to a large pharmaceutical company in the city building a factory there.

"It really was built."

Xie Chongyang raised his chin, "It's at the end of the village. There's a research department down there, researching medicines that can aid in cultivation."

Seeing Shen Qing frown, he added another sentence.

"But there's no need to worry too much. It's been two or three years, and the fog hasn't appeared very often, and it mostly occurs in sparsely populated areas."

Shen Qing nodded, remained silent for a moment, and processed this information.

"So it's also spiritual energy brought by the fog? Then why is it called a spiritual energy revival?"

Xie Chong shook his head. "I don't know about that."

Anyway, that's what everyone calls it. There might have been a period like this in ancient times, like in myths, but it was probably less prevalent than it is now.

He spread his hands, with an expression that said, "I don't know much more than you do."

"Alright, that concludes the science lesson."

Xie Chong changed the subject, looking at the half-wrecked off-road vehicle, "So, how are we going to get back?"

I had a great time just now, but now my car is totaled.

The two exchanged a glance and fell silent. In the end, they returned to the base in a vehicle driven by the logistics personnel. As soon as they arrived, Captain Fang Shu was there to greet them.

"Holy crap, did He Ying and the others snitch on us?"

Xie Chong shrank back, his earlier smugness gone. He gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, I did it all. Shen Qing has nothing to do with it!"

Fang Shu: "?"

"What? You did this? Weren't you supposed to be patrolling the area?"

Xie Chong froze, realizing he had said too much. Fang Shu frowned, "Tell me, what have you done now?"

"Again with that kid, Night Owl? Do you think you can beat him or what?"

"Why!"

Upon hearing He Ying mentioned, Xie Chong's expression immediately became excited, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Captain, that's not right. I can't do it, but Shen Qingxing can."

Do you know how angry that kid was today?

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Fang Shu became interested and glanced at Shen Qing. "Tell me about it."

"I told you, you can't make us write self-criticisms."

Xie Chong began to bargain, and when Fang Shu nodded, he immediately recounted the events in detail, as if he had done it himself.

"So, Captain, that car—"

"It will be deducted from your salary each month."

"Captain, it was my suggestion..."

Fang Shu waved his hand at Shen Qing, "You're quick enough. Also, don't worry about this kid, he's rich."

Xie Chong, who had been wearing a bitter expression, suddenly realized something was wrong. "Captain, aren't you surprised?"

That's an F-rank kill against an E-rank demon! It's hard to say if they could even break through the defense normally. If they were using firearms, it would take several shots, even with a rifle.

Fang Shu nodded. "Surprised, yes, but somewhat prepared. You probably don't know how strong this kid is now, do you?"

Xie Chong looked completely bewildered.

The three of them arrived at the training room, but there was almost no one there at this time; everyone had gone outside to patrol or carry out missions.

At Fang Shu's signal, Shen Qing walked to the force measuring device and threw a punch. With a whooshing sound, numbers appeared on the screen.

1079 kg.

"It's gone up a bit again?" Fang Shu asked.

Shen Qing withdrew his fist and nodded. "I used a Qi and Blood Pill yesterday."

Xie Chong glanced at the numbers, then at Shen Qing, and stammered, "What...what do you mean by 'it's gone up a bit again'?"

He grabbed Shen Qing by the collar and shook him violently. "You only had 700 kilograms of punching power yesterday, even with steroids you wouldn't have improved this quickly, right?"

"I was afraid of scaring you to death, so I held back."

Shen Qing said calmly, "My innate ability is not simply a power boost. Power enhancement is only part of it; my physique will also be enhanced."

And as physical strength increases, so does physical power.

"?"

Xie Chong's eye twitched, and after a long pause, he managed to stammer out, "Are you exploiting a bug?"

"These physical abilities are ridiculously overpowered! I want them too!" "And you can even afford Qi and Blood Pills now?"

He only managed to accumulate thirty contribution points in two months, and he didn't dare to exchange them for a single item.

"Alright, stop pretending. Weren't you afraid to eat it because you were scared of the pain when you were at Night Owl?"

Fang Shu waved his hand, directly exposing Xie Chong's shortcomings.

"I gave Shen Qing that one. If you can also suppress Night Owl and his gang's arrogance, I'll give you some financial support too."

Xie Chong immediately became obedient, hiding to the side to minimize his presence.

Shen Qing looked at Fang Shu, "Captain, you greeted us at the elevator entrance just now, you must have had something else to discuss, right?"

"Yes, I almost forgot about the important matter because of the interruption."

Fang Shu glared at Xie Chong and continued, "There are rumors that a construction site in your jurisdiction is haunted."

But there was no evidence at all, and no abnormalities were detected. However, their boss knew a little about the situation and kept reporting it every day.

"No rush, there are other demonic matters in our jurisdiction, that's the most important thing. Once those are resolved, you can go check on the situation when you have time."

……

evening.

Within a day, all the special departments in Binhai City mobilized collectively, and some clearly defined and urgent tasks were resolved.

The remaining demons are either still being searched for or their identities are still uncertain.

In the suburbs, where there are few people and little activity, detection methods are significantly affected.

Shen Qing dealt with another one in one afternoon, which couldn't even be considered a demon.

The Willow Wood Demon, a willow wood target, endured countless arrows day after day, and barely became a spirit due to obsession and spiritual energy.

[Archery - Yang Youji (White, Mortal): Mortal archery skills at their peak, hitting the bullseye from a hundred paces.]

After get off work, Shen Qing walked out of the bookstore on her way home.

Considering today's situation, getting my older brother a new house is urgent, but what reason should I give...? Directly showing off my strength is definitely not an option.

The situation regarding those with supernatural powers has not been made public, otherwise they wouldn't have erased the memories of ordinary people.

"We don't have enough money either."

He took out his phone and checked his balance: 35,000 yuan.

Aside from the money sponsored by my elder brother, the rest were rewards from recently defeating tree demons, zombies, and especially that bear beast this morning. Rank 8 is quite valuable; one mission can earn you 20,000 yuan.

Even if you find a reason, you can only rent a place first.

Thinking about it, Shen Qing subconsciously walked to her older brother's neighborhood.
