Outside the abandoned bus station, the sun blazed down.

Outside the rows of yellow and black police tape, the air felt so oppressive it seemed to freeze, and even the summer breeze vanished in the suffocating silence.

Qin Zhenguo paced anxiously back and forth between several special operations vehicles, his hands behind his back.

His usually expressionless, weathered face was now extremely tense. His gaze kept sweeping over the constantly ticking watch on his wrist before he looked up at the distant entrance to the bus station.

At this moment, almost twenty minutes had passed since the terrifying Yellow Springs phenomenon in the sky dissipated.

However, the passenger station building remained lifeless and silent, with only a faint, chilling aura seeping out through the cracks in the floor.

"Director Qin, how about... I take a couple of my brothers and sneak in to check it out?"

The accompanying special agent captain finally couldn't contain himself any longer. He took a step forward and asked for instructions in a low voice.

"Go back!"

Qin Zhenguo abruptly stopped, turned around, his eyes reddened from excessive tension. He stared intently at the special agent captain, his voice cold and resolute as he ordered him to stop:

"Deputy Director Luo made it clear before he went in that awakening one's origin is the fusion of spiritual power and rules, and must not be interfered with by any external forces during the process!"

"Do you want to kill her?!"

The special agent captain gritted his teeth and retreated to the defensive line under Qin Zhenguo's piercing gaze, but his eyes remained fixed on the tightly closed iron gate.

Not only him, but also the dozens of fully armed special police officers and agents around him were whispering among themselves, each with a hint of unease in their eyes.

"That mirage-like phenomenon was terrifying. Deputy Director Luo...could she be in danger?"

"It's hard to say. The strange power is so violent; for a mortal to forcibly control it is no different from dancing on the brink of death."

"If Deputy Director Luo gets killed inside, our Paranormal Investigation Bureau will truly be leaderless..."

"Shh, stop talking about that, Director Qin is looking over here."

"..."

Listening to his subordinates' whispers, Qin Zhenguo's heart sank deeper and deeper.

He certainly knew what Luo Qingyan's death would mean for the Dragon Kingdom.

That means... the Dragon Kingdom will completely lose this guiding light.

This means that their newly established paranormal bureau will be defunct in name only.

In the coming apocalypse, the Dragon Kingdom will also completely lose its direction.

"Luo Qingyan, you absolutely cannot get into trouble..." Qin Zhenguo clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.

"Creak—"

Just when everyone was teetering on the brink of despair.

A heavy, piercing metallic scraping sound suddenly came from ahead!

Immediately afterwards, the tightly closed iron gate of the passenger station was slowly pushed open a crack.

"alert!"

The special agent captain felt a chill run down his spine, his nerves instantly tense to the limit.

Accompanied by a loud shout.

"Click click click—"

A series of synchronized gunshots echoed throughout the venue.

Dozens of dark assault rifle muzzles instantly locked onto the crack in the door.

Several agents even had their fingers on the trigger.

In places corrupted by high-level supernatural forces, no one knows whether the person who walks out of the door is a living person or a monster that has been assimilated.

"Don't fire yet!"

Qin Zhenguo roared, forcefully suppressing the panic in the team: "Make sure you clearly see the target before you act!"

Under the watchful eyes of dozens of tense people.

The door was pushed open completely.

A tall, slender figure emerged from the depths of the hall, bathed in sunlight that pierced through the gloom.

The person who arrived was none other than Luo Qingyan.

After awakening the [Guide to the Underworld], Luo Qingyan exuded an aura that chilled her to the bone. Her already cold eyes now faintly flickered with a deathly light that seemed almost tangible.

She only glanced at him.

The seasoned agents around them all shivered, feeling a sense of oppression that came from the depths of their souls.

Upon closer inspection, the person who had arrived was Luo Qingyan.

The atmosphere on set was so tense it felt like a deflated balloon.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief at that moment.

"Deputy Director Luo!"

Qin Zhenguo strode forward, his usual composure completely forgotten, his eyes filled with urgency and anticipation: "How did it go? Did it succeed??"

Luo Qingyan looked at the director, who was so excited that he lost his composure, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Director Qin, I have successfully completed my mission."

"It's a success."

The cold voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears in front of the empty ruins.

Qin Zhenguo's tense body finally relaxed at that moment.

He let out a long breath, and a relieved smile involuntarily appeared on his originally serious face.

"Okay...okay, it's good that you're back."

Qin Zhenguo nodded repeatedly, his voice even trembling slightly.

The surrounding agents also breathed a sigh of relief and cheered.

They knew that from this moment on, the Paranormal Bureau finally had a true superhuman who could contend with the bizarre!

"Deputy Director Luo, you..."

Qin Zhenguo quickly stepped forward, instinctively wanting to inquire about Luo Qingyan's abilities.

But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed them back.

There are many people around, and ability is the greatest trump card of an awakened being, so it must not be easily exposed.

He suppressed his curiosity and stepped forward.

"Let's go, get in the car first."

As he spoke, he turned to the side to lead the way and personally opened the car door for Luo Qingyan.

"Bang."

The car door closed.

Qin Zhenguo quickly got into the car from the other side, then picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the instructions:

"Attention all groups, Level 1 alert lifted!"

"One team will remain on-site to assist the technical department in sealing off the area. The rest of the personnel will proceed to the National Skynet Center at full speed!"

"Boom!"

With the roar of engines, the convoy quickly turned around and sped off towards the city center.
