Chapter 90: My Contribution To The Bureau



Chapter 90: My Contribution To The Bureau

"Fang Xiu, you were supposed to be resting and healing, but this is an urgent situation, and since you're directly involved, we had to call you in. Oh, let me introduce you. This is Vice Captain Bai Qi. And Bai Qi, meet Fang Xiu."

Fang Xiu and Bai Qi exchanged glances, not saying a word. Fang Xiu was calm, and Bai Qi seemed quite indifferent. It made Wang Dehai feel a bit awkward.

Suddenly, Bai Qi said, "I don't like owing anyone anything. If you need something from me in the future, feel free to reach out to me."

Fang Xiu nodded. He understood what Bai Qi meant. The guy wanted to repay him for saving his life. After all, without Fang Xiu's timely phone call, Bai Qi would have been long gone.

As for Bai Qi's indifferent demeanor, Fang Xiu wasn't surprised. With psychics, acting too normal is actually the most abnormal.

"Let's leave the small talk for later. We have an urgent situation. Here's what happened: I sent Yang Kunpeng to lead a team to the Green Mountain Mental Hospital Specter Zone, which was previously a Grade C zone."

"Grade C?" Fang Xiu's eyes flickered with surprise. He hadn't expected the Investigation Bureau to classify Green Mountain Mental Hospital that low, especially since he had just resolved the B+ Blackwater incident and still wouldn't dare to explore the hospital lightly.

In his opinion, Green Mountain Mental Hospital Specter Zone was at least an A, maybe even an S!

Seeing Fang Xiu's reaction, Wang Dehai showed a mix of embarrassment and guilt.

"This is my fault. I misjudged the information. I thought the dozens of Specters you mentioned were Specter Slaves, so I classified the zone as Grade C. If I had listened to you, I wouldn't have sent Yang Kunpeng but rather Yang Ming, and maybe the outcome would have been different. Now, only Yang Kunpeng survived."

_'Is this about Yang Ming's power of luck?'_ Fang Xiu wondered

It wasn't that he underestimated Yang Ming, a third-tier psychic, but he had a feeling that Green Mountain Mental Hospital was no ordinary Specter Zone. If Yang Ming had gone, he probably would have died too. Yet, due to Wang Dehai's mistake, Yang Ming, who was supposed to go, didn't.

_'Is this coincidence, or is it Yang Ming's luck ability at play? Can luck be that powerful? Well, given Yang Ming's already a third-tier, his luck ability might really be able to clear huge disasters out of his way.'_

Wang Dehai continued, "According to Yang Kunpeng, he encountered three other Specters in the Green Mountain Mental Hospital Specter Zone, in addition to Nightmare and Physician. This breaks all our previous assumptions. So, I'm guessing, Fang Xiu, the dozens of Specters you mentioned might not all be Specter Slaves."

Fang Xiu didn't offer any explanation, as what had happened couldn't be undone. He couldn't go back to the mental hospital to check.

He gave it some thought, then asked, "How did Yang Kunpeng survive?"

This was what concerned Fang Xiu the most. He was very interested in Green Mountain Mental Hospital, or more precisely, in what Zhou Qingfeng had left behind.

Wang Dehai explained, "Yang Kunpeng's ability is invisibility. He survived by using this ability to hide. Also, thanks to the emergency exit you provided earlier, he managed to escape. However, Yang Kunpeng is in a bad state now, on the verge of losing control of his Spiritual Energy. We need to talk to him to get the details. The reason I called you here is to meet with Yang Kunpeng and understand what happened. This way, we can make an accurate judgment about the Green Mountain Mental Hospital Specter Zone."

"Alright, let's go," Fang Xiu replied calmly.

Right now, the only thing that really interested him was Specters, and among them, he was most concerned about two things: his wife and Green Mountain Mental Hospital.

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Wang Dehai didn't say much and immediately led Fang Xiu and Bai Qi to the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, white smoke wafted through the air, enveloping the room in a tranquilizing scent. It was spiritual incense.

Upon entering and smelling the spiritual incense, Fang Xiu instinctively frowned. On the table in the room, a stick of spiritual incense was burning. In front of the table, a row of steel bars enclosed a skinny young man who couldn't stop trembling.

The man had bleached blonde hair, his pale face drenched in cold sweat, and his bloodshot eyes shifted restlessly. He was like a drug addict in deep addiction. Every now and then, he'd glance over his shoulder, as if constantly wary of an unexpected attack from behind.

Seeing this, both Wang Dehai and Bai Qi frowned.

"His Spiritual Energy is so out of control that even spiritual incense can't suppress it," Wang Dehai said grimly, his voice tinged with regret.

Bai Qi's expression grew colder. "Given his current state, if the spiritual incense goes out, he'll likely mutate. Director, ask whatever you need to quickly. Once you're done, I'll take action."

Wang Dehai understood what Bai Qi meant by his words, but it was a necessary measure when dealing with uncontrollable Spiritual Energy.

"Yang Kunpeng, Yang Kunpeng," Wang Dehai called several times before Yang Kunpeng finally snapped out of his daze. He looked up, bewildered, and upon seeing Wang Dehai, his face instantly showed a mix of relief and elation, as if he had seen a lifesaver.

"Director Wang, please save me. I've shed blood and earned honors for the bureau. I don't want to turn into a monster."

Wang Dehai's eyes flickered with compassion. Then he composed himself and said, "Kunpeng, calm down. The bureau will never abandon its agents. We will do everything we can to save you. Right now, you need to tell us everything you saw at the Green Mountain Mental Hospital Specter Zone. That's the only way I can help you."

Yang Kunpeng nodded frantically, his face filled with terror as if he was recalling something horrifying. "Specters! The place was full of Specters! My team explored the mental hospital's Specter Zone. At first, we encountered the Physician. It was strong, and it took a lot of effort from our team to deal with it. Then we went deeper, and then, then"

He began to tremble violently, seemingly too afraid to continue.

"What happened then?" Wang Dehai asked urgently.

"I... I saw many wards, the seals on the doors were weakening, and there were so many Specters howling inside. Then the door of one ward opened, and a little girl came out, she she had no face."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu's mind raced._ _

_'Wards with seals? A faceless little girl? So, the wards had seals on them. No wonder the Specters were confined and couldn't get out. Where did these seal come from then?'_

Being a new psychic, there were many things Fang Xiu didn't know, including these so-called seals.

As for the faceless girl, Fang Xiu recalled his own experiences in the mental hospital. He had indeed seen this faceless girl before."
