The temperature in the fourth-floor corridor is slowly rising.

As the female ghost was forcibly contained, the chilling aura that felt like a tangible weight pressing down on people's chests finally dissipated.

Su Yu casually closed the ancient book and hid it in the void.

Then, he slowly turned around.

The faint golden light remaining on his body illuminated his calm and profound face in the dim, unfinished building, making him appear almost divine and impossible to look directly at.

His gaze finally settled on the female CEO who remained motionless in the corner.

At this moment, Qin Xinran was still leaning tightly against the cold cement wall, her proud and delicate body still trembling slightly.

Seeing the man, whose body was radiating golden light, looking at her, she swallowed hard, her voice trembling slightly as she asked:

"Are you... a human, or a ghost?"

No wonder she lost her composure.

What just happened was too far beyond my comprehension.

The vengeful ghost can teleport to kill people, cast dazzling golden spells, unilaterally beat up a female ghost, and even suck the ghost into a book that appears out of thin air.

In Qin Xinran's eyes, these methods were more terrifying than ghosts.

Seeing her nervous expression, Su Yu was about to speak.

Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[A member meeting the organization's recruitment criteria has been detected!]

Immediately afterwards, a blue virtual panel that only he could see was projected directly next to Qin Xinran.

Name: Qin Xinran

[Potential Rating: 5 stars!]

This individual possesses unwavering willpower and exceptional management and coordination skills, making them a rare and valuable leader.

Seeing the extremely high rating given by the system, Su Yu felt a surge of joy.

"It's a 5-star rating?!"

He thought he was incredibly lucky to be able to take in an F-level vengeful ghost today, but he never expected that the woman he casually saved would actually be a highly qualified member!

"Mission One requires recruiting members with 3 stars or higher, but this woman is a full 5 stars!"

"If we can bring her into the organization, not only will the first recruitment task be solved easily, but she will also be a great help in the future."

"No matter what... we must recruit her."

Thinking of this, Su Yu immediately decided to leave.

He withdrew the golden light emanating from his body, slowly walked to a distance of three meters from Qin Xinran, and looked down at this powerful businesswoman from Yanjing.

"I am, of course, a human being."

Su Yu's voice was calm, but it resonated deeply in the empty corridor: "You can call me Su Yu, the current... leader of the Dawn Organization."

"The Dawn Organization? Their leader?"

Qin Xinran was stunned for a moment.

As the head of the Qin Group, she has access to an intelligence network that is inaccessible to ordinary people, but she swears that she has never heard of this name.

And...this one?

She keenly grasped the deeper meaning behind this word.

In other words, this seemingly mysterious organization is not led by Su Yu alone.

This is very likely an organization with a rich historical background!

Seeing the confusion in Qin Xinran's eyes, Su Yu glanced indifferently at the bodyguard's corpse on the ground.

"You're lucky today. If you hadn't run into me, you'd end up like them!"

"What on earth is going on? What kind of monster was that female ghost just now?" Qin Xinran couldn't help but ask, eager to find the answer.

"That's a vengeful ghost."

Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his tone revealing a cold indifference to life and death: "I don't want to cause panic, but since we're destined to meet, I might as well tell you the truth."

"Unknown dimensional energy has begun to erode reality. In less than five days, this strange phenomenon will completely engulf Mercury."

"At that time, vengeful ghosts like those before will continue to appear in the city."

Qin Xinran's beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief and shock.

A strange phenomenon has occurred?!

The end of the world?!

If someone had said something like that to her before today, she would have definitely kicked them out as if they were crazy.

But after witnessing it all with her own eyes, she began to believe it.

"We still have our country! We still have our army! As long as they're here, they should be able to deal with them, right?" Qin Xinran's voice trembled, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a last glimmer of hope.

"We can't handle it."

Su Yu remained calm, his tone understated yet undeniably cold: "Ghosts are the embodiment of higher-dimensional rules. Conventional weapons are simply ineffective against them."

Moreover… demons cannot be killed; they can only be weakened or suppressed by special forces.

"Moreover, the places where the eerie creatures appear emit a strong pollution. Once ordinary creatures are infected by this aura, there is a very high probability that they will be transformed into mindless ghost slaves."

Listening to Su Yu's flat and emotionless statement, Qin Xinran felt a chill run down her spine.

It cannot be physically destroyed, cannot be killed, and can even assimilate and infect...

If these monsters descend in droves, what will humanity use to resist them?

Are we just left to wait for death?

No! That's not right!!

Suddenly, as if grasping at a last straw, she abruptly looked up at Su Yu:

"Was that golden light you used just now... a supernatural power?"

"That is the power of the awakened."

Su Yu's expression was indifferent. "The strange erosion has caused a drastic change in the laws of heaven and earth. A very small number of humans will undergo a transformation on the verge of life and death, awakening extraordinary abilities to fight against the strange."

"And I, and the 'dawn' behind me..."

At this point, Su Yu paused slightly, looking down at her with a commanding gaze. His voice was flat, yet it carried an inexplicable sense of pressure: "It's just that you ordinary people mastered this power earlier than me."

These words struck Qin Xinran like a hammer blow, opening a door to a whole new world for her.

Looking at the unfathomable young man before her, a strong desire welled up within her.

If the supernatural is truly about to descend, then ordinary people like her, no matter how much wealth they possess, will be utterly meaningless in the face of an absolute monster.

The only ticket to survival is to acquire extraordinary abilities!

"Do you want to possess this power?"

Su Yu timely threw out the bait.

Qin Xinran's breath hitched. In this unfinished apartment that had just witnessed a bloody massacre, the word "power" was more deadly than her proud billion-dollar fortune.

Without any hesitation, she nodded vigorously.

"We, 'Dawn,' have been passed down for hundreds of years, always hidden in the shadows of history, silently observing this world."

Su Yu's tone was deep, carrying an ancient and profound authority: "The organization has already recruited the world's top talents. Now that the abyss is approaching, Dawn will inevitably step into the limelight."

"Your qualifications barely meet the threshold for Dawn."

"Once you join, we have a way to help you unlock your extraordinary potential ahead of time, giving you the ability to protect yourself in the apocalypse."

Unlock extraordinary abilities ahead of time!

These words were like a lightning bolt piercing the darkness, igniting a flame of hope in Qin Xinran's previously despairing eyes.

"What...what do I need to do to join?" She stared intently at Su Yu, her voice hoarse with intense longing.

Su Yu remained silent.

He slowly raised his left hand.

"Whoosh—"

With a very faint spatial ripple, a jet-black envelope exuding ancient majesty appeared out of thin air between his two fingers.

The words "Dawn" embossed in gold on the envelope shimmered with a heart-stopping glimmer.

With a slight flick of his wrist, Su Yu sent the invitation letter fluttering down like a weightless feather to Qin Xinran's feet.

"This is an invitation to join Dawn. If you've made up your mind, open it."

Su Yu looked at Qin Xinran, his tone becoming colder than ever before:

"However, I must warn you. Once you open it, your destiny will no longer be yours; you will be bound to Dawn... their fates will rise and fall together!"

"Furthermore, nothing you see here today, nor any information about the dawn, should be revealed to the outside world."

"I advise you not to challenge the organization's bottom line. Once you violate the confidentiality rules, even without my intervention, the power of the contract's rules... will instantly erase you."

These words, filled with the cold reality of rules, sent a shiver down Qin Xinran's spine.

She cautiously picked up the black envelope from the ground, intending to ask again about the specific cost of the "contract".

But Su Yu didn't give her a chance to speak again.

The message has been delivered; further words are unnecessary.

With a thought, Su Yu activated the [Strange Teleportation] he had just been stripped of.

"Buzz—!"

A very subtle ripple came from the air.

Under Qin Xinran's shocked gaze, Su Yu's figure vanished without a trace, like a bubble!

Without leaving a trace or making a sound, it vanished abruptly, as if it had never existed at all.

"Where...where are they?!"

Qin Xinran suddenly stood up and looked around at the empty, deathly silent corridor, feeling a chill run straight to the top of her head.

She glanced down at the black invitation in her hand, which felt cold to the touch and exuded an eerie aura.

My mind is a complete mess.

A reclusive organization with a history spanning centuries...

The power to awaken ahead of time...

A law that obliterates the soul...

This business tycoon, worth billions, felt like a tiny boat on a vast ocean, facing the unfathomable "dawn," pitifully insignificant.

She clutched the letter tightly, her chest heaving violently.

She needs to calm down and carefully consider whether or not she should join this organization.

……

At this time.

Outside the unfinished building.

Su Yu's figure appeared out of thin air next to his SUV.

The first time he used [Strange Teleportation], although it only covered a short distance of 30 meters, it still consumed nearly one-tenth of his mental energy.

"It's a god-tier skill, but it consumes a lot of mana."

Su Yu pinched the bridge of his nose, opened the car door, and got in.

As soon as I sat down.

The system notification sound arrived as scheduled.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed the emergency mission 'First Battle! Blade of Dawn'!]

[Quest Rewards Received:]

[1. Funding raised +10!]

[2. Organizational points +200!]

[3. Organization Experience Points +200! (Current Experience: 375/200, meets upgrade requirements!)]

[4. Random Extraordinary Gear Box x1!]

Looking at the rewards on the panel, Su Yu smiled contentedly.

This trip was incredibly lucrative.

Not only did they plunder several skills, but they also maxed out their organization experience and even got a blind box of equipment.

However, he was not in a hurry to open boxes or upgrade his organization here.

This is the site of a recent paranormal event; it's not a good place to linger.

Su Yu started the vehicle, stepped on the gas, and the SUV quickly drove towards the villa.

As for whether Qin Xinran will accept the invitation?

Su Yu was very certain…

Qin Xinran will definitely open that letter.

An ominous sign is approaching; catastrophe is imminent.

In this city that is about to turn into a living hell, no one... can resist the temptation to live.
