The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

Back at the villa.

The living room was dimly lit, and the hands of the grandfather clock had quietly passed five in the morning.

Su Yu closed the door and tiptoed up the stairs.

He didn't want his late return to disturb Aunt Xuan's rest.

Upon reaching the second floor, Su Yu paused slightly as he passed Luo Qingyan's room.

A faint ray of light shone through the gap at the bottom of the door.

"It's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Yu's eyes.

These past few days, this woman has been acting all mysterious, for some unknown reason.

Su Yu shook his head, having no intention of meddling in other people's business.

He pushed open the door to his bedroom and went straight into the bathroom.

Let the warm water wash away the night wind and fatigue clinging to your body.

After washing up, Su Yu changed into a set of dry home clothes and sat up against the headboard, feeling refreshed.

With a slight thought, he brought up the system panel.

[The task rewards are being processed and distributed...]

[1. Organizational Experience Points +300! (Current Experience: 375/2000)]

[2. Organizational points +1000!]

[3. Funding increased by 500000!]

[4. Rare Treasure Chest +1!]

Su Yu glanced at the first three rewards, his gaze finally settling on the last one.

"System, extract the fourth reward."

The voice just fell.

Ripples appeared in the void in front of Su Yu, and an ancient treasure chest, radiating an eerie purple light and engraved with intricate spatial runes, materialized out of thin air.

It hovered silently in mid-air, its dark purple light swirling around it, exuding a mysterious tension that made one's heart race.

[Open the rare treasure chest?]

"Open. Hopefully something good will come."

Su Yu silently recited in his heart.

[Ding! Rare treasure chest successfully opened!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a divine pet—Six-Eyed Raven (Rank A)!]

Accompanied by a crisp notification sound.

The dark purple treasure chest in mid-air shattered with a crash, turning into countless wisps of pitch-black void mist.

The fog churned and contracted violently, and then an elegant and agile figure materialized out of thin air in the study.

It was a strange bird whose size was almost the same as that of a normal crow.

Its entire body is covered with a layer of black feathers.

Under the bedroom light, the layer of black feathers reflected a cold, metallic luster like obsidian, smooth and without any impurities.

What makes it most unforgettable is the three deep red compound eyes arranged in an arc on each side of its head.

Those six eyes were like six rubies set in the night, emitting a captivating, faint red glow.

There was no trace of the dullness of a hairy beast in his eyes; instead, they exuded a calmness and aloofness that transcended the mundane.

Its beak and claws are dark iron gray and sharp as hooks.

Although not large in size, it exudes an aura of unfathomable majesty.

Su Yu stared at the black bird, and a detailed attribute panel appeared in front of him.

【Name: Six-Eyed Raven (Divine Pet)】

[Potential: Grade A]

Current Level: Infancy (Level D)

[Physical Fitness: 72]

【Spirit: 139】

【Talent 1 - Vision Sharing】: This divine pet can share its field of vision with the host or any target designated by the host.

[Talent 2 - Shadow Clone]: Can conjure several shadow crow clones with physical form and high-dimensional stealth capabilities. The clones also possess the [Vision Sharing] ability and can be scattered to various areas for all-weather monitoring. (Current maximum for juvenile stage: 16).

[Ability 1 - Bewitching Sound (Active)]: Emits a dark, nighttime cry containing high-frequency mental pollution. It can cause hostile targets who hear the cry to experience a sudden drop in brain processing power, resulting in brief dizziness, frenzy, and self-harming hallucinations.

【Ability 2 - Death Ray Blade (Active)】: Wields wings to unleash dozens of dark feather blades condensed from pure death energy. Possesses extremely strong armor-piercing and corrosive effects, easily penetrating the bodies of low-level vengeful spirits.

【Ability 3 - Devouring Soul and Consuming Essence (Active)】: Opens its beak and forcibly strips and devours the original energy, spiritual power, or strange matter of the hostile target, directly converting it into nutrients for its own growth and recovery.

[Description: A divine bird from another dimension, born deep within a dimensional rift. It feeds on all strange substances, terrifying resentments, and the essence of souls, constantly pushing its growth limits by plundering evil spirits. Its six crimson compound eyes can pierce through higher-dimensional illusions, providing absolute, unobstructed vision. It is both a top-tier investigator walking the edge of reality and the underworld, and a predator that strikes fear into the hearts of all ghosts.]

【…】

"thump."

The six-eyed raven flapped its black feathers and landed lightly on Su Yu's shoulder like a black lightning bolt.

The six deep red compound eyes blinked, and the bird affectionately rubbed its hard, rock-like beak against Su Yu's cheek, expressing its submission and dependence.

Su Yu raised his hand and stroked its smooth, silky feathers, feeling a cool sensation from his fingertips.

A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

This divine bird's initial attributes are extremely exaggerated.

With a mental strength of 139 points, he even surpassed the vast majority of early-stage C-level mental awakeners.

And those two core talents are a perfect match.

【Visual Sharing】combined with 【Shadow Clone】is simply a divine reconnaissance skill.

With it, Su Yu will no longer need to leave his home to have a complete view of the entire city of Yanjing.

"Give it a try."

Su Yu had the Six-Eyed Raven activate [Visual Sharing].

In Su Yu's mind, a clear image instantly appeared, complete with low-light night vision and a bird's-eye view!

It was a magical experience.

Not only is the line of sight unaffected by darkness and physical walls, but it can even clearly see the faint energy particles floating in the air.

This feeling is like having a 360-degree high-definition camera suddenly appear in your mind.

After experiencing the visual sharing, Su Yu looked at the crow and asked a question.

"Does creating clones take a lot of energy from you?"

"Hey."

The six-eyed crow tilted its head and let out a low, short caw.

Under the soul-bound contract, Su Yu instantly understood its meaning.

The energy consumed to maintain the clone is negligible, almost negligible.

After confirming that there was not much consumption, Su Yu decisively issued the order.

"Use clones."

"Shuashuashua——"

The six-eyed crow trembled slightly, its black feathers fluttering gently.

Immediately afterwards, sixteen black phantoms identical to the original body split off from its body and quickly condensed into physical crow clones in mid-air in the study.

"Go."

Su Yu got up and opened the bedroom window.

"Puff puff puff—"

Sixteen black-feathered crows, like sixteen drops of ink that cannot be dissolved, flew silently out of the window and instantly blended into the deepest night before dawn in Yanjing City, scattering in all directions of the city to serve as his eyes.

The six-eyed creature stood quietly on Su Yu's shoulder, guarding its master closely.

Su Yu sat back on the edge of the bed, his gaze returning to the skill panel on the screen.

Besides its scouting talent, this six-eyed raven's three active abilities are equally formidable.

【Bewitching Sound】is a typical form of mental suppression, capable of creating massive chaos when facing a group of enemies.

The Death Ray Blade enhances single-target burst damage, and combined with its agile flight posture, it is enough to pierce the target's vitals in an instant.

What Su Yu valued most was the [Soul Devouring and Essence Swallowing] technique.

This is a skill with an unlimited growth potential.

As the eerie resurgence intensifies, vengeful ghosts will continue to appear.

This means that the six-eyed crow's "food" will be inexhaustible.

It can even break the limits of its race by constantly plundering its own essence.

Given time, it may be able to transform into a divine beast powerful enough to suppress high-level strange creatures.

Su Yu looked at the six-eyed creature with metallic luster on his shoulder, and his thoughts stirred slightly.

Should we name this little guy?

He gazed at the crow's pure black feathers, then at its cold, proud deep red compound eyes, and said, "Your feathers are almost a deep black, like obsidian, untouched by dust. Calling it 'Shadow' sounds a bit too aloof, while calling it 'Crow' is too straightforward."

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Your all-black attire is as serene as night. Why not call you Little Black? It embodies the essence of simplicity and naturalness."

The voice just fell.

The six-eyed raven's six ruby-like compound eyes flickered, as if it were thinking.

"Hey——!"

"Hey!"

The six-eyed raven let out a clear, low caw, seemingly quite pleased with the name, and nuzzled Su Yu's neck again with its head.

……

at the same time.

In the bedroom separated by a wall, Luo Qingyan was sitting at her desk, organizing the encrypted files she had on hand.

Those were the personal files of some of the top special operations personnel within the military and the National Security Agency.

Although the official paranormal bureau has been established, its staff consists entirely of ordinary people, except for herself.

To maintain our footing in the impending apocalypse, we must cultivate a strong core group of personnel.

Relying on her memory, Luo Qingyan selected five people from countless files.

Name: Li Zhengfeng

Age: 31

[Predicted Awakening Ability: Rank A - Gravity Domination]

[Ability Profile: After awakening, one can freely control the gravitational and gravity vectors within a radius of several hundred meters. This allows for the instantaneous application of terrifying pressure, crushing enemy targets along with the ground into a bloody pulp; it also allows for the reversal of gravity, achieving brief levitation and traction.]

……

……

Age: 33

[Predicted Awakening Ability: Rank B - Soul-Suppressing Demonic Sound]

[Ability Profile: Mental Interference. After awakening, can forcibly utilize sonic resonance to inflict shock and tearing damage on the essence of supernatural entities. Wide-range soft control, a powerful tool for team support.]

Four Grade A, one Grade B.

Even in my previous life, this power was a force to be reckoned with.

Not to mention, the strange things haven't even happened yet.

Looking at the five heavy files on the table, a glimmer of hope flashed in Luo Qingyan's cool eyes.

If these five people can successfully complete their awakening, the Supernatural Bureau will no longer be an empty shell.

By then, the Dragon Kingdom will truly possess its first batch of high-end combat forces.

"I just sealed away the Smiling Clown at the Clown House, and that's when the eerie power is at its strongest."

Luo Qingyan tapped her slender fingers lightly on the table.

"That place is the best natural place for awakening."

Luo Qingyan neatly folded the five lists and put them into a top-secret kraft paper bag.

Just wait until the clown house area is completely sealed off.

These five people were the first group of awakened individuals to travel there.

……

The abandoned Happy Valley in the southern suburbs of Yanjing.

At this time, the area around the clown house had been cordoned off by a large number of military troops.

Several logistics staff members wearing full biohazard protective suits were cleaning and disinfecting the devastated hall, sweeping away shattered glass and puppet remains.

"Splash..."

Workers were washing the ground with water guns.

Sewage mixed with residual red mist and dust flowed down the floor drain into the deep, dark sewer.

Mixed in among these were a few drops of thick, black blood that the Smiling Clown had shed before he was sealed away.

The sewers were cold and damp.

The air was filled with a pungent stench.

"Squeak—"

A series of intense scratching sounds echoed from deep within the pipe.

Dozens of large, fat sewer rats, seemingly drawn by an irresistible, eerie smell, frantically converged from all directions.

With red eyes, they eagerly licked the barely perceptible trace of clown blood from the sewage.

A bizarre change is quietly taking place in the shadows.

When the last drop of blood was licked clean.

The group of rats, which already had red eyes, suddenly went berserk.

They no longer feared their own kind, but instead bared their sharp teeth and began the most primitive and bloody slaughter.

Tear, chew, devour.

"Squeak...squeak...squeak..."

In the darkness, the sounds of breaking bones mingled with the mournful cries of rats, creating an incessant cacophony.

……

Ten minutes later.

The sewers returned to their deathly silence.

The ground was littered with mangled rat carcasses.

In the center of the pile of corpses, a giant rat, its body swollen and covered in hard, black barbs, shook its head.

Its small eyes gleamed with a scarlet ferocity.

It lowered its head, greedily chewed up and swallowed the remains of its last companion, then vanished completely into the depths of the underground pipe in a flash...
