The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

early morning.

Golden morning light slanted through the gaps in the curtains, casting several patches of light and shadow in the bedroom.

The mornings in Yanjing City rarely bring a moment of sunshine, and the faint sounds of everyday life can be heard floating in the distance.

Su Yu pushed back the covers and got out of bed.

He only slept for two hours after returning from headquarters last night.

But at this moment, his eyes were clear and bright, his energy was steady, and he showed no signs of fatigue.

His extraordinary physique and profound mental strength have allowed him to transcend the physiological limits of ordinary people.

Even if he doesn't sleep or rest for several days in a row, he can still maintain his peak condition at all times.

Su Yu walked to the window and casually pulled back the curtains. Cool air flowed into the room through the window cracks, bringing a refreshing feeling.

Out of habit, he subtly activated the system interface.

Above the retina, the countdown, woven from crimson light, was silently ticking away.

[Countdown to the full-scale arrival of the eerie world: 3 days; 00 hour; 15 minutes; 39 seconds]

"Only three days left..."

Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the fluctuating scarlet numbers.

Every second of the countdown signifies that the barriers of reality are being torn apart at an accelerated pace.

The Dawn Squad is now taking shape.

Qin Xinran is in charge of the Shadow, Feng Gang controls Qi and Blood, Zheng Qiang controls the Mechanical Brain Domain, and Wen Xiaoxiao is in charge of logistics and medical treatment.

Each of the four individuals has a distinct role, making the organizational structure virtually perfect.

But this is only a configuration for dealing with the initial situation.

Three days later, the barrier completely collapsed.

What will descend upon us will no longer be low-level vengeful spirits like headless ticket sellers or red dancing shoes, but terrifying C-level, B-level, and even A-level disasters and S-level taboos with the power to destroy cities.

With only these four members, let alone facing the global abyss surge, they are barely able to cope with the bizarre eruption within the city of Yanjing.

"Dawn still has too few members."

Su Yu tapped his fingertips lightly on the windowsill, his gaze passing over the window to the city skyline.

He needs more high-potential members to join him in order to withstand the impending disaster.

But he doesn't have much time left to prepare.

"Ding!"

Just then, a system notification sounded.

[The task database has been updated. Please check it promptly.]

"Oh? The quest has been updated?"

With a thought, Su Yu brought up the task panel.

【Task (1): Find two potential members with a rating of three stars or higher and recruit them as official team members.】

[Mission Description: The long night is approaching, and the throne of dawn needs more sharp blades to defend it. Before the full-blown outbreak of the bizarre events, please expand your organization's combat power and seek out individuals with high-level potential.]

[Mission Rewards: Organization Experience +300, Organization Points +500, Organization Funds +250000, Gold-Grade Equipment Chest +1!]

……

【Task (2): The Cardboard Troupe's Farewell Performance】

[Mission Description: On an abandoned old stage in the western district of Yanjing, lingering resentment from the past has been completely corrupted by the energy of the abyss. Every night at midnight, the mournful sounds of gongs and drums echo again before the already collapsed stage. Behind a pale curtain, several paper puppets, outlined in blood-red cinnabar and joined by white bone, dance without wind to the eerie singing. Their eyes lock onto the living in the audience in the darkness. Anyone who interrupts the music will have their shadow forcibly cut off by invisible scissors, their flesh withered and peeled away, becoming a silent paper puppet manipulated behind the curtain.]

[Target Monster: Shadow Puppet Wraith (Estimated Energy Fluctuation: Rank D)]

[Mission Rewards: Organization Experience +400, Organization Points +8000, Organization Funds +400000, Random Wonder Chest +1!]

……

[Special Mission: Preaching and Instructing]

[Mission Description: As the Lord of Dawn, besides fighting alone, you also need to shoulder the responsibility for the new members of the Hammerchain organization. Only by training your subordinates into qualified warriors can the foundation of Dawn be unbreakable.]

[This is a special training mission. In the upcoming mission to exterminate a vengeful spirit in the real world, you will lead all official members. During the combat, you will personally participate and teach the organization members tactics for fighting the supernatural.]

[Task Rewards:]

1. All participating members: Receive [Black Iron Grade Equipment Exchange Coupon x1].

2. Leader Rewards: Organization Experience +500, Organization Points +1000, Organization Funds +500000, Rare Treasure Chest +1!

……

Su Yu's gaze swept across the three tasks on the screen one by one, his mind rapidly weighing the options.

The first task, recruiting new members, was a piece of cake for him.

Even if the system doesn't issue this task, finding highly qualified personnel is his top priority.

Now it can not only enrich the organization's foundation, but also provide rewards, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

The second task, "The Paper Troupe's Farewell Performance," is also what Su Yu hopes to see.

Through this battle, he can not only hone his own combat skills, but more importantly, he can use the "Book of Strange Things" to strip away the core abilities of the vengeful ghost!

This is the crucial part of building a solid foundation and enhancing one's own strength.

The target is a Class D vengeful ghost.

For a newly awakened newcomer, this kind of battle might be a matter of life and death, but for Su Yu now, it's nothing.

Not to mention, the rewards for this mission are very generous.

As for the last [Special Mission: Preaching and Instruction]...

Su Yu rubbed his temples.

"Personally leading the team into the game... a beginner's tutorial match?"

After careful consideration, Su Yu understood the purpose of this task.

Since the founding of Dawn, he has always presented a mysterious and unpredictable image to his members.

The members' awe of him was largely based on the information gap and the intimidation from the higher-dimensional headquarters.

This practical training session presented a perfect opportunity for him to "show off his skills in front of others."

Faced with such overwhelming and ruthless methods, only by letting Qin Xinran and her group of extraordinary individuals confront the "leader's" immense power up close can their sense of awe and loyalty be maximized, thereby consolidating Su Yu's position.

Moreover, the members do need some instruction; only in this way can they truly understand the terror of vengeful spirits.

In addition, the rewards for this task are also very generous.

Each participating member will receive a [Black Iron Grade Equipment Exchange Coupon], which can be used to directly exchange for basic weapons in the shop, enabling the entire team to be armed.

And he, as the leader, can take away a [rare treasure chest].

The last rare treasure chest he opened yielded the divine pet, the Six-Eyed Raven. He was truly looking forward to seeing what kind of divine item this rare treasure chest might drop.

"Let's get it all done!"

Su Yu made the decision.

Just then.

A slight tremor suddenly ran through Su Yu's mind.

This is a notification that there is a new message in the [Dawn Chat Group].

With a slight thought, Su Yu entered the [Dawn Chat Group].

The group chat was bustling with activity early in the morning.

【Wen Xiaoxiao (Healing Spiritual Light)】: Good morning, Boss! Good morning, Sister Qin! Good morning, Uncles! There's a comic convention in Yanjing today! This beloved member of the group requests to go and buy some rare figurines to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of our headquarters. Is that okay? Is that okay?

[Zheng Qiang (Mechanical Brain Domain)]: @Wen Xiaoxiao, rejected. The official team is definitely searching for us everywhere right now. They might already be waiting for you at the anime convention. Going there now would be like walking into a trap!

[Feng Gang (Qi Xue Chi Yang)]: Old Zheng is right. Little girl, don't run around. It's safest at headquarters. I'm going to practice my boxing in the newly opened [Gravity Training Room] in the South District later. Want to come along?

[Zheng Qiang (Mechanical Brain Domain)]: No, then come with me to reconstruct the power system and try to get our headquarters powered up before 12 o'clock!

【…】

[Qin Xinran (Shadow Overlord): @Su Yu (Lord of Dawn), Leader, I've gathered all five tons of physical gold, and it's currently stored in the underground vault of the Qin Group building. How should we transport it to headquarters? Should I arrange a convoy to escort it secretly?]

Upon seeing this message, Su Yu was overjoyed.

Five tons of gold, finally gathered!

This is the core weapon against vengeful ghosts.

[Lord of Dawn (Su Yu): No need to arrange a convoy; it's too conspicuous and could easily provoke an official backlash. Send me your location, and I'll come over in a bit to pick it up personally.]

[Qin Xinran (Shadow Overlord): Received. The Qin Clan Building's third basement level vault. Let me know when you arrive, Leader, and I will personally come to pick you up.]

The moment their conversation ended, the entire chat group erupted in chaos.

[Wen Xiaoxiao (Healing Brilliance)]: Five...five tons?! My goodness! Sister Qin, you're exaggerating too much!

[Wen Xiaoxiao (Healing Brilliance)]: Based on today's gold price of 800 yuan per gram, five tons of gold... that's a cash flow of 4 billion yuan! Sister Qin truly lives up to her title as a billionaire CEO, she's inhumanly extravagant!

[Feng Gang (Blazing Yang)]: Forty billion?! That's enough to kill me... I've never even seen what forty thousand in cash looks like in my entire life. Sister Qin is awesome!

[Zheng Qiang (Mechanical Brain Domain)]: Mr. Qin, if I may ask, with only a few days left until the apocalypse, and real-world currency soon becoming worthless, what special purpose is there in going to such lengths to amass such a massive amount of gold?

Qin Xinran quickly provided an answer to Zheng Qiang's question in the group chat.

[Qin Xinran (Shadow Overlord): It's not for preserving value. Gold is one of the very few special materials in the world that can naturally isolate supernatural auras and seal away strange phenomena.]

[Qin Xinran (Shadow Overlord): Whether it's forging gold into bullets to penetrate defenses or creating sealed containers to forcibly seal away vengeful spirits, it can naturally block most deadly rules. The leader asked me to collect gold, presumably to help the organization stockpile strategic resources.]

After hearing Qin Xinran's explanation, the three people in the group suddenly understood.

Everyone in the group was praising Su Yu.

[Those who plan ahead, it really comes down to the boss!]

[666, I fully support any decision the boss makes!]

...

"Xiaoyu, Qingyan! Come downstairs for breakfast!"

Just then, Aunt Xuan's voice came from downstairs.

Su Yu left the chat group, changed into casual clothes, and walked out of the room.

Just as he stepped out, he ran into Luo Qingyan, who was coming out from next door.

Luo Qingyan was also dressed in simple home clothes, but her beautiful face showed an undeniable paleness and fatigue, and her eyes were slightly puffy, indicating that she hadn't rested much last night.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, neither of them speaking, and walked down the stairs one after the other.

The restaurant was steaming hot.

Aunt Xuan had already served two bowls of seafood porridge and placed them on the table.

Aunt Xuan took off her apron, looked at the two sitting down, and couldn't help but complain, "You're always out early and back late, I never even see you. Xiao Yu is one thing, but Qingyan, you're a girl, how come you come home so late every day?"

Su Yu took a sip of porridge without changing his expression: "I've been quite busy lately because I'm working on a project with someone else and we need to meet the deadline."

Luo Qingyan lowered her eyes, held her bowl, and remained silent.

Seeing her daughter's unwillingness to communicate, Aunt Xuan became furious and raised her hand to scold her.

But when she saw her daughter's pale and haggard face, her raised hand froze in mid-air.

In the end, all the anger turned into a long, helpless sigh.

"Sigh... Qingyan, Mom knows you're all grown up now and have your own ideas. But no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't always keep them to yourself. Xiaoyu and I are still here in this family."

Listening to Aunt Xuan's worried, elder-like lecture.

Su Yu knew he couldn't stay any longer.

"Aunt Xuan, I'm full. The project team is still waiting for me, so I'll head out now."

Su Yu put down his chopsticks, got up, and walked quickly outside.

……

Stepping out of the villa gate.

As the morning breeze caressed his face, Su Yu stood in front of the courtyard and gently waved his hand.

"thump."

In the bedroom on the second floor, the six-eyed raven that had been perched on the windowsill flew lightly out of the open window and landed steadily on his shoulder.

The six deep red compound eyes gleamed with a cold light in the morning light.

"Go to that abandoned old stage in the West End."

Su Yu turned his head and whispered instructions to the Six-Eyed Raven: "Take your clone and go find out about the surrounding environment. Share your vision immediately if there are any unusual movements."

"唳——"

The six-eyed crow let out a clear, low caw.

With a flap of its wings, its agile body instantly rose from the ground, transforming into a black lightning bolt that merged into the clouds high in the sky.

Watching Xiao Hei disappear into the distance, Su Yu withdrew his gaze.

Instead of taking a taxi, he went straight to the subway station not far from the villa area.

The Qin family building is located in the bustling city center of Yanjing, more than ten kilometers away, requiring crossing dozens of subway stations.

It is currently the morning rush hour.

The passenger flow of the Yanjing subway is terrifying, with millions of commuters and pedestrians converging here.

The first task issued by the system requires recruiting two new members with potential of three stars or higher.

Such a large-scale convergence of people is undoubtedly an excellent place to try one's luck and search for potential talents.

Moreover, with the Dawn Organization advancing to Lv3.

The "bewitching" rule attached to the "organizational invitation" in his hand has been enhanced once again.

The moment the target touches the envelope.

The law of invitations will instantly reveal one's deepest desires, thus automatically generating soul-stirring handwriting on the envelope.

Just like when Zheng Qiang and Feng Gang were recruited.

Torn between despair and longing, ordinary people simply cannot refuse a contract from the abyss.

"Hopefully, we'll stumble upon a few promising young talents."

Su Yu followed the crowded and noisy flow of people and stepped into the subway station.
