Myth News Forecast

Mythical creatures leave behind relics after their hosts die?

Team Leader Chen noticed Du Wang's surprise and explained, "Yes, mythical creatures also leave behind relics after their hosts die."

"And their relics, like those of demons and monsters, can serve as provisions for the advancement of extraordinary individuals."

Du Wang's mood suddenly turned heavy.

Captain Chen continued, "You should know that the website's forecasts do not include anything related to demons or evil spirits."

"It was alright at the first and second levels, because most of the daily demon and monster forecasts were at the level of 'fault' and 'fierce'."

"Plus the ones circulating in the market, there are quite a few relics. With a little effort, you can always get what you want."

"But above Tier 3, advancement requires Ferocious-grade relics. These relics are much rarer, and it's very difficult to find one that meets your requirements."

"Therefore, some high-level superhumans who were close to being promoted used every means possible and eventually inadvertently discovered the secret of the mythical creature's host."

"Since then, chess organizations have emerged."

Captain Chen sighed: "After all, compared to the dangerous and unknown ferocious demons, superhumans with weaknesses and attachments are obviously easier to target."

She didn't say anything more about what happened after that, but Du Wang could guess.

To reassure the young man, Captain Chen shrugged: "But don't worry, the host of a natal spirit won't leave any belongings after death, so the chess set won't target you."

Du Wang glanced at the three-legged corpse crow beside him and twitched his lips.

Fortunately, I didn't tell anyone about the existence of the Corpse Crow.

Fortunately, the Corpse Crow's ability is to control ghosts.

Otherwise, he himself might become a target of the chess organization's hunt.

After explaining the above, Captain Chen's expression turned serious:

"Remember, members of the chess organization are all designated by their chess pieces, and are divided into the Red Camp and the Black Camp."

"If you ever have the chance to meet them or hear news about them in the future, please let me know immediately."

"clear."

Captain Chen put his leg down, preparing to leave.

Du Wang spoke up, "Oh, right, Captain Chen, there's one more thing."

"What is it?"

Team Leader Chen turned around, looking somewhat puzzled.

……

"Clap clap clap!"

In the afternoon, gunfire echoed continuously from the underground firing range.

Wait until the gunfire stops.

Looking at the holes in the rake, Du Wang put away his pistol with satisfaction.

Although guns and ammunition are extremely inefficient for dealing with demons.

But against humans, this thing is still more effective than fists.

Moreover, the members of the investigation department have a certain amount of bullets every day, so they might as well use them.

In just over two hours, relying on the arm strength he developed through martial arts training, Du Wang easily transformed from a complete novice in marksmanship to hitting the target every time.

Although the accuracy is only so-so, it's more than enough for self-defense.

Before leaving get off work, Du Wang retrieved a lightweight bulletproof vest, a pistol, and two magazines filled with rubber bullets from the equipment room.

This is one of the indirect benefits of the mobile unit.

Because there is always the possibility of an emergency or evil spirit descending upon them, each team member can wear bulletproof vests and carry weapons.

Of course, the number of bullets will definitely be reduced.

However, in a peaceful society, a handgun is already very intimidating; even superhumans would be terrified at the sight of it.

As it was time to leave work, Du Wang packed his belongings and headed home.

The father was cooking in the kitchen, wearing an apron.

In this family, the father has always been the one to take care of the household chores.

Because she was the youngest child, Li Jing, the mother, was always pampered by her older sisters, so her cooking skills were only so-so that the food wouldn't kill anyone.

In addition, her father liked to cook, so she didn't have many opportunities to learn after getting married; at most, she could only make breakfast.

Seeing the cooking fumes in the kitchen, Du Wang walked over and said, "Dad, I'm going to a friend's house tonight and will be back tomorrow."

Wearing an old man's vest, Du Sheng poured the vegetables into the pot and stir-fried them vigorously, shouting, "Eat your food before you leave?"

"right."

The meal was prepared quickly. My mother's massage shop was very busy today, so she didn't have time to eat and had to ask my father to deliver it.

Du Wang sat at the dining table and handed his bank card to his father: "The reward money has been received and is in the card. You can pay back some of it to the relatives first."

"You need to keep some money on your own." Du Sheng waved his hand. "Don't give it all to me."

"I kept five thousand, that's enough."

Du Wang shoved the card directly into his father's hand.

"OK."

My father put on his reading glasses and carefully examined the bank card, as if he wanted to memorize every single digit of the card number.

……

……

18 points.

Du Wang got off the bus.

The sky was still tinged with a pale yellow, not yet entering the blues.

He sent a message to Mumu on his phone, then stood at the bus stop waiting.

Not long after, a black sedan suddenly drove up and stopped in front of him.

The rear window rolled down, revealing a clean and fair-skinned, beautiful face—it was Mumu.

She smiled and waved, "Get in the car quickly."

Du Wang got into the car and noticed that her clothes today were very different from the last time he saw her.

She wore a green Chinese-style jacket with mugwort on the upper body and a long silk skirt embroidered with bamboo leaves on the lower body. Her hair was styled into a bun at the back of her head and tied with a bird-shaped wooden hairpin.

She wore a pair of black round-toed cloth shoes, and white cotton and linen socks that extended down to her calves, with petals quietly blooming at the edges.

If Mumu's last outfit resembled a female knight-errant riding a horse from the desert, then this outfit is like a refined lady visiting a garden to admire flowers.

It doesn't look like they're going to fight demons at all.

Just as Du Wang was wondering what was going on, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a message from the girl next to him.

[Mumu: I told my family I went out to play with friends, but don't mention the snake demon.]

[Double pupils: No problem.]

Since the situation with the snake demon could not be discussed, Du Wang simply remained silent.

Throughout the journey, Mumu's little mouth never stopped, occasionally stuffing a piece of candy or eating some snacks or cookies.

She eats very slowly; it often takes her several minutes to finish a single cookie.

Moreover, even a large white rabbit can make your cheeks puff up, like a hamster.

Seeing Du Wang looking over, she handed him the snacks in her hand: "Have one."

Their enthusiasm made it hard to refuse.

Du Wang could only accept the snacks and crunch along with her.

About 40 minutes later, a popular sign that read "I miss you so much in Shezhen" came into view outside the car window.

Shezhen is an ancient town, and according to online information, it has preserved many historical buildings.

However, due to the presence of the more historically significant and tourist-rich South City nearby, it is as inconspicuous as an asteroid orbiting the sun.

When the car stopped in front of a quaint guesthouse, Du Wang got out first, followed closely by Mu Mu.

After collecting her luggage, she waved goodbye to the driver.

The car slowly drove away.

Mumu picked up her suitcase with one hand and her dress with the other as she walked into the guesthouse.

Du Wang finally spoke up, asking, "Where are the others?"

As they walked, Mumu answered, "They agreed to meet at a teahouse."

Du Wang asked, "Is the snake demon in Shezhen?"

Mumu nodded: "Yeah, I don't know the exact location, but it's definitely nearby. I'll go book a room first."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After Du Wang finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the conversation was a bit strange.

To avoid suspicion, he sat down on the sofa to the side instead of with Mumu.

Since he'd be searching for the snake demon tonight, he definitely wouldn't have time to sleep.

That way we can save the money we would have spent on a hotel room.

After waiting for 20 minutes, Mumu finally came downstairs.

However, when she reappeared, she had changed her clothes and outfit.

She wore burgundy hair with silver ear clips and amber glasses, a black tank top with light blue denim shorts, and her canvas shoes were replaced with ankle boots.

If it weren't for that stainless steel longsword, Du Wang wouldn't have recognized her at first glance.

As they got closer, Mumu asked curiously, "Don't you need to pretend?"

Du Wang then realized that there was no trust involved in cooperation among wild superhumans, unlike in the Investigation Department.

However, the lack of prior preparation did not pose a challenge for him.

Mu Mu watched as the other person lowered their head to rub their face, and when they looked up again, they had become an ordinary passerby.

"That's amazing." Her eyes lit up as she looked Du Wang up and down, expressing her envy.

Even though she could tell that the other party was using some kind of illusion ability, she couldn't see the other party's true appearance without her eye technique.

"A little trick."

Du Wang smiled; he was simply making good use of the illusion ability of the Eyebag Demon.

In reality, his appearance has not changed; it's just that everyone who looks at him is automatically affected by the illusion.

However, this ability is only applicable to a small area; once it expands, his energy cannot sustain it for long.

Perhaps things will change when he advances to level 2.

Seeing that everything was ready, Mumu said, "Let's go, it's time, let's go to Wangjing Teahouse."
