Myth News Forecast

Professor Zhuang said:

"Based on our observations of the host of the Corpse Crow, we believe that he is active in the suburbs around the city and is associated with several secretive groups."

Although the South City Investigation Department has set up mobile teams in each district, it does not have enough manpower to handle all the daily incidents.

Therefore, many wild superhumans appear around the city, cleaning up the evil spirits that the authorities cannot reach.

Wherever there are people, there is a social hierarchy. In order to ensure their own safety, various secret groups have emerged.

They recruited extraordinary individuals to jointly control the arrival events within the region, preventing outsiders from approaching, and profiting from the relics and resources they obtained.

The official stance on this is neither to encourage nor oppose it.

After all, the authorities occasionally need their information to formulate plans and track down fugitives.

"So, do you have a specific target?" Miao Rui asked.

Professor Zhuang explained, "Although these clandestine groups have irregular daily routines, they will deal with any descent-related incidents immediately."

"After a period of observation, we have narrowed down the scope to two clandestine groups. We will have the results once the Corpse Crow host advances."

In fact, besides the possibility that a secret group might be hiding the host of the Corpse Crow, Professor Zhuang had another very bold conjecture in mind.

During his observation, he discovered that the time when Corpse Crow improved its ranking coincided with the time when some of its teammates improved their ranking.

Is there any connection between the two?

However, this speculation lacked conclusive evidence and contradicted common sense, so he kept it to himself and planned to observe it in secret.

Miao Rui nodded and said, "Alright, since you're confident, I won't interfere."

"Call Pei Zhaozhao over; we've developed a complete training plan for her..."

……

……

Du Wang had a very relaxed time for the next four days.

Aside from training in the investigation department, he spent the rest of his time teaching at the Children's Palace.

Yesterday he attended three classes in a row, finally ending his part-time job at the Children's Palace.

The principal expressed his reluctance to see him go and hoped that he would continue to teach part-time, even offering to double his hourly rate.

However, Du Wang refused.

After failing to persuade him, the principal took Du Wang and several teachers to a nearby seafood restaurant for a farewell meal.

And my parents haven't been idle these past few days either.

They cooperated with the authorities and have already completed the household registration process for the new house.

From today onwards, that house will be their new home.

However, the parents did not move there immediately because Li Jing's massage shop was still near the community. The parents planned to transfer the shop first and then move to the new home.

Du Wang's luggage had already been delivered to his new home.

"Whoosh."

The water stream wet Du Wang's hair and washed away the sweat from his body.

Today is Sunday again. After midnight, [Wu] will be able to obtain the third and final piece of mythological knowledge, truly standing at the threshold of Tier 2.

The thought that his strength was about to improve further filled Du Wang with excitement.

Ten minutes later, he came out of the bathroom and changed into some dry clothes.

"Old Du, I have big news!" Cheng Huo, who had already finished training, immediately came over when he saw him appear.

Du Wang asked, "What news?"

Cheng Huo whispered, "I heard that Shancheng has already sent people into the Immortal's Daoist Temple."

"Really?" Du Wang was surprised that they were so fast.

"Absolutely true." Cheng Huo glanced at his watch. "They've been inside for two hours, and we still don't know the outcome."

"Where's Minister Ji? Did he go in too?"

"I don't know, they should be inside by now."

Du Wang frowned and said, "I hope no one will cause trouble at this time."

"Hey," Cheng Huo laughed, "You don't know this, do you? Yesterday, Minister Ji just wiped out the headquarters of seven secret organizations, killed a fourth-level superhuman, and arrested 11 superhuman fugitives."

"Now everyone knows that our investigation department has a Yuanjun-level expert, so they dare not make any rash moves."

"Minister Ji is that strong?" Du Wang was somewhat shocked by the strength of a 5th-tier Yuanjun.

Cheng Huo nodded repeatedly, "I didn't believe it at first either, but the battle record is undeniable; a Tier 5 warrior is that strong!"

Ji Weiyi is not the most mysterious among all the heads of the investigation department, but he is definitely the most low-key.

We never hear any news from them normally.

Unexpectedly, once he made a move, it was astonishing.

Since the fifth tier was stronger than he had imagined, Du Wang had more confidence in the operation in the mountain city.

Everyone is watching the mountain city. If this succeeds, the mystery of the Immortal's Dojo will be unveiled, and the department will gain valuable experience.

If it fails...

When Du Wang and Cheng Huo returned to the office area, they found that everyone else was gathered in twos and threes, indicating that the news about Shancheng had spread far and wide.

Besides them, Chen Qingyao, Professor Zhuang, and others were also waiting for news in the office.

"There's still no news from the mountain city."

Team Leader Chen leaned against the edge of the table, his arms tightly wrapped around himself, the worry lingering between his brows.

Professor Zhuang took notes in his notebook: "Judging from the current situation, the interior space of the Immortal's Dojo is much larger than we imagined."

"Moreover, unlike the ghost realm, it does not invade real space. Instead, it is more like the blessed land in mythology and the Buddhist concept of 'one flower, one world'."

"I wonder what kind of scenes are inside, and whether they correspond to scenes from mythology?"

His tone was full of regret at not being able to witness it firsthand.

Team Leader Chen didn't speak, but she kept fiddling with a cigarette in her hand, clearly indicating that her mood was not as calm as it appeared.

The clock on the wall has completed another cycle.

Team Leader Chen opened the blinds in his office. Even though it was past closing time, the team members were still sitting in the office area.

"Hopefully, we'll get some good news."

She knew everyone was just as nervous as she was, feeling like they were waiting for the lottery results to be drawn – always anxious until the very last moment.

To relieve his emotions, Captain Chen opened the window and lit a cigarette.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhennan's voice rang out on the cell phone that had been connected to Shancheng.

"Can you hear me?"

"I'm here." Captain Chen crushed the cigarette with his fingers, and the entire cigarette instantly crumbled into smoke, which was carried away by the wind.

Xiao Zhennan's voice came through the phone: "The Immortal's Dojo has been conquered by Minister Ji."

Team Leader Chen relaxed his tense body.

Professor Zhuang quickly asked, "Captain Xiao, are there really immortals in the Immortal's Dojo?"

Xiao Zhennan was silent for a moment before saying, "That's right, there is an immortal, said to be the Wenchang Emperor, who is very popular in the area. However, his strength is far from what is said in the legends. Minister Ji said that he is only equivalent to the fourth level."

"But there are many strange and evil spirits in the immortal's dojo, each with different abilities, which makes them very difficult to deal with. This is why it took so long to conquer them."

"Only level 4, that's good." Captain Chen felt relieved.

Xiao Zhennan continued, "Alright, we'll return to Nancheng tomorrow, and we'll discuss this in more detail then."

After hanging up the phone, Captain Chen and Professor Zhuang exchanged a glance.

Then she pushed open the office door and said to everyone, "The Mountain City Immortal Dojo has been conquered. Everyone can go home now."

"Really!" "That's great!" "Congratulations, Yamashiro!"

The team members applauded and cheered to congratulate the mountain city.

Now that the Mountain City Investigation Department has the experience of successfully conquering it, the Immortal's Dojo in the South City should not be difficult to solve.

This also means that the worst outcome will not occur.

Soon, the staff and team members left one after another.

Cheng Huo invited Cai Cai and Wang Yu to a bar to celebrate.

Du Wang did not participate because he had to settle the rankings that night.

After the office area became completely quiet, he sat alone at his workstation, looking at the various demon files on his computer until 11:50 a.m.

Zheng Tong and Deng Hao, as recorders, once again stayed by his side, waiting for a new round of mythological knowledge to emerge.

Du Wang closed his eyes as the time drew near.

At 12:01, he opened his eyes.

"How's it going, Lao Du? Any new mythological knowledge?" Zheng Tong asked expectantly.

The young man shook his head: "This time, I've obtained the position of a fierce-level demon."

The two researchers looked disappointed.

Zheng Tong comforted him, "It's alright, a powerful demon is not bad either. What are the specifics?"

Du Wang relayed the information to the two of them.

The two made a note of it and then left.

But they didn't see that the young man was squinting, his eyes gleaming.

In fact, the information about the fierce-level demon was the prize from the first settlement of [Double Pupils].

[Double Pupils] This time, the reward is a small fragment of a mythological story.

Du Wang plans to postpone submitting it to the investigation department until next week.

The prize for the third settlement of [Wu] was the location of a certain ferocious demon.

That's right...

It was the same bewitching woman I had encountered not long ago.

Thinking of the oppressive feeling it brought, Du Wang clenched his fists.

"Fate is truly a wonderful thing."

The young man looked up at the night sky outside the window and saw that the stars were shining brightly and the moon was as round as a plate. It was the perfect time to advance to the second rank.
