Myth News Forecast

After returning to the investigation department from the hospital, Du Wang checked the file of that ferocious demon.

This demon is very famous.

Because it's listed on the list of most dangerous things.

"Number 7 on the list of most dangerous monsters: [The monster from Fuhua Residential Area, Shizhong District], a minor threat."

Du Wang then found the original forecast.

"April 29th, 7:30 AM. A demon will appear in Fuhua Residential Area, Shizhong District, bewitching and seducing. The divination indicates a slightly ominous sign; be careful of your mouth, nose, and ears!"

According to the records, it was Kui Xing's group that was responsible for dealing with this demon.

When they arrived at Fuhua Residential Area, the residents had already been evacuated, but three police officers had died at the hands of the demons.

Kui Xing and Cu Yu wanted to stop the demons, but they unexpectedly got stuck in a maze and it took them several minutes to get out.

After they were separated, the two realized that their mouths and noses had been filled with mud without their knowledge, and they were spinning around in place.

If it had been any later, they would have suffocated.

This strange ability made the two very vigilant, and they proceeded with extreme caution.

The demons controlled humans to attack several times, but seeing that they could not gain any advantage, they fled far away and their whereabouts became unknown.

The investigation department then listed this demon as a key target for investigation.

Unexpectedly, this demon had been holding back all along, and its attacks were extremely fast, leaving no time for anyone to react.

Those killed by it all exhibited the characteristic of having all their internal organs hollowed out, like hollow people, which was extremely strange and terrifying.

Two Tier 1 wild superhumans were even found dead in their homes, their deaths identical.

It was only after encountering the sorrowful heart that it came to the attention of the authorities.

Unfortunately, when reinforcements arrived, it escaped again, leaving behind only a few residents under its control.

However, based on the two encounters, the authorities have found the origins of this demon in a vast collection of ancient books and folk records.

"Bewitching Child"

This is a demon that is not recorded in ancient books, but only exists in folk tales passed down orally.

Legend has it that if you give someone soup, it can control them to spin in circles on the same path, and can also fill their mouth, nose and ears with mud so that they will follow it away.

In Du Wang's view, this demon was similar to the widely circulated story of the flower-picking demon.

According to researchers, the ability of the mind-controlling agent is to confuse people's senses, manipulate their behavior, and make them act like puppets to help the mind-controlling agent.

The only question is, how does it manage to get superhumans affected?

Only by understanding this point can we deal with it effectively and avoid being led by the nose.

After closing the file, Du Wang memorized all the information.

"Don't be reckless, Lao Du," Cheng Huo's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Du Wang turned to look at him and found the other man's expression to be unexpectedly serious.

"Don't worry, I won't go to my death." He patted Cheng Huo's arm. "I won't actively confront ferocious-level demons unless I'm at least level 2."

"But I have a feeling that this demon will never stop."

"Perhaps it's secretly watching the movements of superhumans, waiting for an opportunity to devour them."

Cheng Huo looked at the data on the screen: "Strange, how did it find the superhumans?"

Du Wang: "I also think there's something wrong with this, but there are too few clues to guess."

"Forget it, stop guessing, let's go home." Cheng Huo patted his shoulder. "I applied for patrol duty tomorrow, I'll go to Fang Cheng's house and get the belongings he had."

The shattered snake relics from last night are still in Fang Cheng's hands. Rather than letting him sell them on the forum, it's better to sell them directly to the team; the price difference won't be too much.

Du Wang thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Suddenly, his phone rang.

After the call connected, it was Captain Chen's voice.

"Double Pupil, the test results for the water demon's relic are in. It's a level of 'Fierce,' a calamity-type water element. It's exactly the main relic that the Eyebag Demon needs, and I've already notified them to send it over."

Severe flood?

Have you obtained the main relic that the Eyebag Demon needed?

Du Wang hadn't expected such a coincidence.

But the most unexpected thing happened next.

"Also, the Li-level relic left by Chou Chang has been handed over to the storage room. Its attribute is Disaster Wood. Go and collect it when you have time."

Severe disaster.

The main relic needed for the Three-Legged Corpse Crow's advancement has also been obtained.

In just a few minutes, Du Wang managed to gather all the advancement relics.

This should have been a happy occasion, but he could only let out a long sigh.

……

Friday morning.

Du Wang and Cheng Huo patrolled the streets in the vehicles assigned to them by the investigation team.

Cheng Huo took a sip of soy milk and said, "I plan to advance to level 2 next week."

Du Wang asked in surprise, "So fast?"

Cheng Huo explained, "Anyway, I can't climb into the top ten, so there's no need to waste time."

He is currently ranked 33rd, which is quite a distance from the top ten.

"As for you, you're only four places away from making it into the top ten. Don't rush to advance. First, get the mythological knowledge you need. Waiting until Tier 2 won't be easy."

The competition in the Tier 2 rankings is extremely fierce, with each of the top 100 extraordinary individuals possessing their own strengths.

Even with the strong support of the South City Investigation Department for its own extraordinary individuals, only three people made it into the top ten.

The level of competition is evident.

Therefore, Du Wang's idea was the same as Cheng Huo's reminder.

It is foreseeable that after entering the second tier, he will be unable to acquire mythological knowledge for a long time.

It's better to take advantage of Tier 1 and get everything you're entitled to.

While we're at it, let's also check if the account "Double Pupils" can truly replicate the acquisition of mythological knowledge.

Just as the two of them were heading to Fang Cheng's house...

In a confidential office on the top floor of the investigation department, Captain Chen looked at the girl in the plain linen shirt in front of him and asked seriously:

"Are you really sure you don't want to go to the mountain city? This is a rare opportunity, and Minister Ji is willing to personally teach you."

"Hmm, I don't want to leave Nancheng." The girl's expression was very calm, as if refusing the invitation of a 5th-tier Yuanjun was as simple as eating and drinking.

"Okay." Although Captain Chen expressed regret, his expression was still very happy.

After all, every mythical host is a valuable asset to the Investigation Department, and she certainly wouldn't want to give them up to others.

Team Leader Chen said, "In that case, I'll help you find a reason to refuse Minister Ji."

"In addition, the research institute will send a professional team over in the next few days to assist you in developing your own abilities."

"Okay," the girl agreed, her clear, bright eyes suddenly blinking. "Captain Chen, can I usually go on missions with everyone?"

The girl has been assigned to be Chen Qingyao's teammate, working together to deal with the arrival of ferocious demons. However, there are too few ferocious events, so they are inevitably a bit bored on weekdays.

"Of course, no problem, but only for events involving the descent of demons."

To prevent premature death, the Investigation Department has explicitly prohibited mythical hosts below level 3 from entering the Ghost Realm.

The girl placed her hands on her knees and leaned forward: "Can I choose my own teammates?"

"Who do you want to choose?"

"Double pupils".

"No problem." Captain Chen had the same idea. After all, Chong Tong and the girl were acquaintances, so it would be easier to keep the matter confidential.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the girl's lips curled up.

Where is he now?

"Let me see..." Captain Chen glanced at the records on the computer.

"They went to patrol Tongren Road."

……

……

Tongren Road.

Du Wang and Cheng Huo parked their car and walked into the alley.

This area is part of the old city district. The residential buildings along the road are old and dilapidated, built 30 years ago. They are very low in height and have very old facades.

Walking on the muddy road, the two had to endure various stench wafting from garbage cans and ditch.

There were no residents on the street, no elderly people chatting, and no sounds of children being urged to go to school from inside the building. The silence was unsettling.

After finally entering the residential area, Cheng Huo scratched his head again as he looked at the maze of forks in the road and the messy house numbers.

"Where can we find this? I'll call Fang Cheng and ask him to bring it down."

Just as he was about to dial the number, his ears suddenly twitched, and he looked up at the path to his left.

Fang Cheng's figure had already appeared at the intersection, carrying a black plastic bag in his hand, which seemed to contain his belongings.

"Hey, you've been waiting for us here, Lao Fang!" Cheng Huo waved and, seeing that the other person was walking too slowly, instinctively stepped forward.

But the next second.

Du Wang grabbed Cheng Huo's arm and said in a serious tone, "Don't move!"

"What's wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Huo's expression also turned serious.

"He has the aura of a demon."

In Du Wang's view, Fang Cheng, who appeared harmless, was surrounded by an extremely dense black mist.

This black mist was menacing and unpredictable, far more powerful than any demon or monster Du Wang had ever seen!

In a split second, he made his judgment.

This is definitely not a fierce-level demon!

This is a ferocious demon!
