Just then.

A sudden screech of brakes rang out.

Several black cars drove into Yanbei No.1 Middle School and stopped at the edge of the playground.

The car door opened, and Zhao Haidong was at the head of the group.

Beside him stood a middle-aged woman dressed in black, with a cold and stern face.

Behind the two were dozens of fully armed members of the Extraordinary Bureau, each exuding an aura of elite skill.

They had just resolved another S-level calamity incident on the other side of Yanbei District, but they still couldn't get in touch with Zhou Hao.

A sense of foreboding rose in Zhao Haidong's heart, and he immediately led his men over.

When they saw the devastated playground before them, and especially when they saw Zhou Hao's corpse, everyone's brows furrowed.

The middle-aged woman quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and carefully examined Zhou Hao's wounds, her expression growing increasingly grave.

Just then, Zhao Haidong saw the two small figures standing not far away.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

How...

It's those two little guys again?!

Zhao Haidong frowned and walked over quickly.

This time, he skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Jiang Luo, can you tell your uncle why you're here?"

He was filled with doubt.

Xingchen Kindergarten is nearly ten kilometers away from Yanbei District.

How did these two children get here?

"We were supposed to take the school bus to kindergarten."

Jiang Luo pursed his lips, but didn't hide anything, and honestly said, "As a result, two idiots came along the way and forced the driver to drive the car here."

"Then, as we drove into the school, a bunch of terrifying things rushed out and ate the driver, Teacher Li, and Teacher Liu. It was so scary..."

After all, they were indeed victims in this matter, and there was nothing to hide.

Xu Niannian, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement, her little face full of lingering fear.

"Oh, oh, Uncle Zhao, you scared me to death! I was so scared I cried..."

As she spoke, she dipped her little finger in saliva and smeared it on her eyes.

Zhao Haidong's lips twitched as he watched the two little rascals perform.

Are you crying from fright?

You two look perfectly fine, not at all scared.

"Old Deng, I'm telling the truth."

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Jiang Luo added, "If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage along the way."

"Besides, all my kindergarten classmates are still here. They're all in Class 9 of Senior 3 now, and I wonder what's going on with them..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Haidong's heart skipped a beat. He immediately turned around and shouted to one of his team members, "Qu Feng, take some men and go check on Class 9 of Senior Three right now!"

The captain named Qu Feng didn't dare to delay and quickly selected three people to rush towards the teaching building.

Zhao Haidong stood still, waiting quietly, without asking any further questions about what had happened on the playground.

From the horrific scene before him, he already had a rough guess in his mind.

It must have been Zhou Hao who fought that Calamity to the death and perished together with it, right?

Of course, there is another possibility...

That means Zhou Hao was killed by the calamity, and then Jiang Luo took action to resolve the calamity!

Anyway, it couldn't possibly be Jiang Luo who killed Zhou Hao, could it?

The two had never met before and had no grudges against each other.

Moreover, judging from yesterday's tests, the power within Jiang Luo is extremely mysterious, but it is not a calamity in itself, nor does it harbor any hostility towards the Extraordinary Bureau, so there is no reason for it to take action.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Jiang Luo said they were kidnapped and brought here.

Otherwise, everything will have to be said.

Soon, Qu Feng's voice came through the walkie-talkie on his waist.

"Chief, it has been confirmed that there are indeed twenty students in Class 9 of the third year of high school. They are all unconscious, but their vital signs are stable and they are not injured!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Haidong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately issued a series of orders to his teammates behind him.

"Send a group of people to bring those children out quietly, without waking them, and especially without letting them see this scene on the playground, so as not to leave them with psychological trauma."

"The other group, immediately notify Xingchen Kindergarten that their school bus was in an accident on the road and that the children have been taken to the hospital. Then go back to the station, bring a few more vehicles, and take all the children to Chaofan Hospital!"

Regardless of their current condition, these children must be sent to the Extraordinary Hospital for a comprehensive examination.

In addition to checking for physical damage and mental trauma, the most important thing is to detect whether their bodies have been contaminated by the power of calamity.

As soon as the order was given, his team members immediately sprang into action.

But when Zhao Haidong's gaze fell on the two little ones, Jiang Luo and Xu Niannian, he was in a dilemma.

Thinking back to the strange child who was lively and energetic in the hospital just yesterday, and even adopted as Jiang Luo's "son"...

He felt that sending the two little ones back to the hospital and letting them meet the ghost child might cause some hidden dangers!

Considering their unscathed performance yesterday during the S-class calamity in the Mirror Nightmare, and the fact that all tests came back normal...

Ultimately, Zhao Haidong made his decision.

He called out to Chen Xue, who was about to go and help.

"Chen Xue!"

Chen Xue immediately stopped in her tracks.

Zhao Haidong pointed to Jiang Luo and Xu Niannian, "You drive one car and take them back to Chunjiang Garden."

Given the current situation, there's no point in sending them to kindergarten anymore; it's better to just send them home.

Chen Xue nodded, a gentle smile appearing on her face, and walked towards the two little ones.

"Lolo, Niannian, come with Auntie, I'll take you home."

Jiang Luo pursed her lips.

He had prepared his words for Zhou Hao, but to his surprise, the old man didn't ask.

This is really boring.

Since that's the case, he didn't bother to say anything more and immediately stretched out his little hand.

Seeing this, Xu Niannian also stretched out her arm.

Chen Xue, holding the little one's hand with one hand, got into one of the cars.

After they left, the middle-aged woman who had been squatting in front of Zhou Hao's body, remaining silent, suddenly spoke.

"Director Zhao!"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Miss Wu?" Zhao Haidong turned around.

This middle-aged woman named Wu Ya was another S-class superhuman sent down by the provincial capital's Bureau of Extraordinary Abilities.

Wu Ya's expression was grim, and her voice carried a chill: "I've examined Zhou Hao's injuries, and I can confirm that he did not die from the calamity!"

Zhao Haidong was stunned.

Did they not die at the hands of calamity?

Wouldn't that mean...?

"I don't know what happened here."

Wu Ya's gaze was sharp as a knife. "But for an S-rank superhuman to die not in a battle with a monster, but at the hands of others, is no small matter!"

"I will report this to the General Administration as soon as I get back. Someone will come down to investigate this matter. I hope Director Zhao will fully cooperate."

Zhao Haidong remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not reveal Jiang Luo's matter; he simply nodded.

Jiang Luo's situation is too special.

Without thorough preparation, any rash action could trigger an unpredictable disaster.

He must be careful.

……

On the way home.

Jiang Luo and Xu Niannian sat side by side in the back seat, their small bodies leaning against the back of the seats, their two short legs dangling in the air, swaying back and forth.

Xu Niannian was very quiet. She saw that Luo Luo seemed to be thinking about something, so she sat there obediently without saying a word, afraid of disturbing him.

Jiang Luo was indeed thinking.

Think about your next steps.

His power can only be used within his domain.

This restriction was like a Damocles' sword hanging over his head, making him feel very insecure.

So...

Should I try to find a way to get an S-class "tool" that can expand the field anytime, anywhere, and keep it by my side?

But... who should I turn to?

My parents definitely can't do it; they're not even S-class.

The first thing that flashed through his mind was recognizing his son at the Extraordinary Hospital—

The Haunted Child!

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Although the Ghost Child is SS-level, it is also subject to the restrictions imposed by the strange rules, making it impossible for it to stay by one's side at all times.

Moreover, and most importantly, that guy wasn't 100% loyal either.

Once it learns of its power limitations, it might be the first thing to turn against you.

But aside from the ghost child...

Who else can we turn to?

seem……

That's all...

Just as Jiang Luo was having some trouble with her little head.

Suddenly.

A sharp, intense pain suddenly swept over his entire body!

Jiang Luo felt a chill run down her spine!

What happened?

Before he could sort out his thoughts...

An indescribable feeling welled up inside me instantly!

That is……

hunger!

Hungry……

I'm so hungry...

Jiang Luo slowly raised his head and looked at Chen Xue, who was focused on driving.

His eyes gleamed with a kind of...

eager!

That is……

A craving that only arises when you see food!
