Chapter 40 Responsibilities

Outside the Youth Commune.

Chen Qingyao, dressed in a smart shirt, was standing at the entrance of the building.

She raised her wrist and looked at her watch; it was four minutes to an hour left.

"Chen Qingyao, return to the investigation department immediately." Xiao Zhennan's stern voice came through the earpiece.

"Captain Xiao, you can't persuade me." Chen Qingyao smiled, her tone very firm.

Xiao Zhennan said angrily, "You are the captain, you cannot abandon your post! This is an order!"

Chen Qingyao retorted, "All I know is that my team members are in grave danger in the Ghost Realm, and a large number of people are also trapped there. I must rescue them."

"Don't try to intimidate me with your moral high ground, Chen Qingyao!" A sound of someone slamming their hand on the table came through the earpiece.

"Saving lives is important, of course, but isn't the Immortal's Dojo important? Aren't those illegal superhumans who cause destruction everywhere important?"

"Tell me yourself, is saving fifty people more important, or saving five thousand, fifty thousand people?"

Chen Qingyao shook her head slightly: "They are all important, Captain Xiao, but I am the captain of Mobile Team One."

"You..." Xiao Zhennan said helplessly, "If I had known you would be this stubborn, I shouldn't have made you the captain in the first place."

Chen Qingyao's lips curled up slightly.

Although both are captains of the Investigation Department's Mobile Team, Xiao Zhennan is actually the second-in-command of the Investigation Department, possessing the authority to manage other teams and appoint their captains.

Chen Qingyao was promoted by him and received resources for advancement.

Knowing her mind was made up, Xiao Zhennan said in a deep voice, "Once you enter the Ghost Realm, anything that happens in the city center will be blamed on you!"

"Can you bear this responsibility?"

Chen Qingyao affirmed, "I am fully prepared."

"That's good." Xiao Zhennan calmed down and said, "In that case, I'll only give you 20 minutes. If you can deal with the ghost within that time, I'll take the blame for you."

"Team Leader Xiao."

Chen Qingyao said in surprise, "You don't need to..."

"Alright!" Xiao Zhennan interrupted her. "Who told me to promote you? Your responsibility is also my responsibility! I don't have the habit of shirking responsibility."

"If you really want to thank me, then quickly deal with the ghost, and then drag Liu Qiang and the others out and give them a good beating!"

"yes!"

Chen Qingyao checked her watch again and realized that an hour had passed and it was time to go inside.

She switched channels on her headset and asked, "Wang Di, any new developments?"

The sound of keyboard clicks came from behind the drone, and then Wang Di replied, "No, Captain Chen, the drone hasn't detected anything unusual yet, it only shows darkness."

After Liu Qiang and others entered the building, the drone began filming the situation inside from the air.

However, the ghostly realm kept floors 14 to 16 shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see anything through the camera lens.

"Okay." Chen Qingyao nodded. "Then I'll go in directly."

"Wait! Captain Chen!"

Wang Di suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Chen Qingyao frowned.

"The drone has footage! It's... Double Pupils! He appeared at the 16th-floor window, giving a mission accomplished gesture!"

"Really?" Chen Qingyao didn't relax immediately, but asked first, "Can you confirm that it's Chong Tong himself?"

"Yes, he's already connected to the channel. I'll transfer him right away."

"Sizzle..."

"Can you hear me?" A familiar voice sounded in her earpiece, and Chen Qingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She asked, "Double pupils, has the ghost been eliminated?"

Du Wang replied, "It's been cleared, but the situation at the scene is a bit special. I need firefighters to come upstairs to clean it up. Also..."

"What else?" Chen Qingyao's heart suddenly sank.

She realized that Liu Qiang's condition might not be very good, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Chong Tong to report.

"In addition... Team Leader Liu Qiang... died in the line of duty."

Even though it was only a short sentence, Du Wang paused twice.

Upon hearing this, the earpiece fell into complete silence.

"How is this possible?" Chen Qingyao's voice was hoarse, as if she couldn't bear such a fact.

Du Wang explained, word by word, "We didn't encounter one ghost, but two. They are twins, with completely different abilities."

Chen Qingyao felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart.

She never expected this to happen.

Or rather, in the event of the descent of evil spirits, there has never been a situation where there are two ghosts in the same ghost realm.

So this is what Yin Sha Twins are all about.

If she had known this situation earlier, she would definitely have led the team in herself.

After a moment of silence, Chen Qingyao said, "I understand. I'll go upstairs myself to bring Liu Qiang down."

As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled sound suddenly came through Du Wang's earpiece.

"Team Leader Chen, an illegal superhuman has appeared at a bank in the city center, suspected to be a member of a chess organization..."

"Bang!"

Amidst the sound of bricks flying, Captain Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Very good, they chose a very good time."

"With double pupils, can it hold on?"

"no problem."

"I hereby appoint you as the on-site commander to handle the aftermath properly."

"clear."

After saying that, Captain Chen left the channel.

But Du Wang, who lives on the 16th floor, saw a black SUV speeding away from his window.

"How are Chongtong, Jiu Er, and the others?" Wang Di suddenly asked.

Du Wang then remembered Cheng Huo and turned to walk downstairs: "They also encountered attacks from ghosts and monsters before, but I don't know the specifics yet."

Please confirm as soon as possible.

"No need to confirm anymore." Cheng Huo's tired voice suddenly came from the channel.

"You've forgotten, my hearing is excellent. I can hear you as soon as you speak."

"But I never expected that Brother Liu would die in the line of duty." His tone was low.

After a pause, he continued, "Zheng Tong and I were in the stairwell on the 14th floor. There were 20 unconscious residents there. We worked hard to deal with them as quickly as possible."

Wang Di: "I will notify the firefighters and medical personnel to come over right away."

After half an hour.

The 32 residents of the Youth Commune were successfully evacuated.

Cheng Huo stood beside Du Wang, watching together as the firefighters carried out the black body bag.

He patted the young man on the shoulder: "Don't blame yourself too much, we've already moved very fast."

"I know."

Du Wang wouldn't take on everything himself.

After all, the arrival of evil spirits is like a natural disaster, full of unknowns and beyond human control.

After all the body bags were loaded into the vehicle, Du Wang and the others returned to the investigation department first.

The atmosphere in the investigation department was very somber today.

Although all four forecasts have been processed

But besides Liu Qiang, two other people were injured.

Wang Yu from Group 2 lost an arm while fighting against demons.

Cai Cai from Group 5 fell into a coma after being attacked by a ghost and has not woken up yet.

Several other groups are out dealing with illegal superhumans.

In addition, we went to find Captain Chen from the chess organization.

Du Wang and Cheng Huo became the only two superhumans to remain in the investigation department.

"Clang!"

Cheng Huo took a beer from the vending machine and tossed it to Du Wang on the sofa.

"Have a sip."

He plopped down on the sofa, casually putting his legs up on the table: "I like to have a drink every time I finish a task."

"Because when you're slightly tipsy, you won't think about random things anymore."

Du Wang opened the beer can and took a small sip.

Cheng Huo raised his beer: "Come on, let's toast Brother Liu."

"Respect to Brother Liu."

Du Wang bumped his beer can against his, and the two of them took a big gulp at the same time.

Spicy, stimulating, and bitter.

Complex flavors danced repeatedly on the taste buds.

Just like everything that extraordinary individuals have to go through.
