Chapter 73 -64: The Ten Calamities – Blood Water Disaster

Xinhu Control Bureau.

The reporting hall was bustling with people, over twenty investigators had gathered there.

“Hey, brother, never seen you before, when did you join?” A crew-cut guy looked at Zhou Yuan beside him and couldn’t help but feel puzzled. He had never seen such a handsome investigator before.

“Just joined in the past couple of days.” Zhou Yuan smiled.

“Just joined…” The crew-cut guy was slightly moved. This year’s recruitment exam had already passed, and Zhou Yuan had recently joined, which meant he didn’t come through the normal channels.

Only those exceptionally outstanding extraordinary persons could make the Control Bureau break the rules and recruit them.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Hong Tianxiong.” The crew-cut guy quickly smiled and extended his hand in a friendly gesture, wanting to get acquainted.

“Zhou Yuan.” Zhou Yuan shook his hand, thinking that the name was quite imposing, but this Aoneng Power…

[A super macho man with a fierce appearance and a powerful name, if he were a strength-type extraordinary person, he would be a killing machine. Unfortunately, he was not.

His Aoneng Power was extremely soft and cute, called “Pink Healing,” which could emit a unique pink light. This light had no offensive power but could make people feel comfortable and relaxed, helping to treat psychological disorders.

However, his overly fierce appearance somewhat affected the effectiveness of the Aoneng Power, so he was considering getting a face change.]

Pink Healing… that was a bit too macho.

At this moment, Hong Tianxiong said in a low voice: “I’ve been working at the Control Bureau for five years and have rarely encountered a situation that mobilized so many people. This problem is likely not a small one.”

Definitely not, over forty people have gone missing. One of Xinhu’s big five, Du Kanghui, is also gone. If this isn’t a big deal, it would be strange… Zhou Yuan thought to himself.

“Is everyone here?” A slightly rough voice sounded.

A brawny man walked over, followed by a few clerical staff holding documents.

The man was like a small mountain, extremely imposing, with thick eyebrows, a sturdy neck, arms hanging down to his knees, and his hands were broad and heavy, as if they could directly grab a person’s head.

[Xinhu Control Bureau’s Security Department Head Yang Dabiao, Tier 4, Horizontal Training Grandmaster, Aoneng Power: Copper Skin Iron Bones. Despite his rugged appearance, he was actually very meticulous.]

“Minister, Ms Chen hasn’t arrived yet.” An assistant behind Yang Dabiao reminded.

“We won’t wait for her, I’ll first explain the task details.”

Yang Dabiao said in a deep voice, “Just last night, one of Xinhu City’s big five, Du Kanghui, was attacked in his residence and has since gone missing. His bodyguard, named Luo Sen, a Tier 4 summoning extraordinary person, also vanished. I met this guy before, he’s quite strong.

The person who reported the case was Du Kanghui’s secretary, who claimed the room was intact with no signs of struggle. To make Du Kanghui and Luo Sen disappear in such a situation, the perpetrator would need to be at least Tier 5.

In addition, the police have received multiple reports of disappearances, and coincidentally, all the missing individuals were connected to Du Kanghui. There is preliminary suspicion of planned murder.”

The clerical staff started distributing documents to the investigators; these were task briefs.

“The task brief contains detailed information about the missing persons. Go to the vicinity and conduct investigations. Also, there are still a few people related to Du Kanghui who haven’t disappeared; check them as well. Those who held grudges against Du Kanghui should be considered prime suspects…”

The clerks completed handing out the task briefs, but Zhou Yuan didn’t receive anything, leaving him confused.

“Where’s my task brief?” he asked.

“Ms Chen is taking you along, so we didn’t prepare one for you.” A clerk responded.

“Oh…”

The investigators quickly skimmed through the task briefs, found their teammates, and sparsely left the reporting hall, while Zhou Yuan pulled out his phone and called Chen Guangxi: “Where are you? You’re not at the Control Bureau.”

“Don’t worry, I’m about to finish this game.”

What, you’re still in an internet café? Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment: “They’ve all received their tasks and set off.”

“Oh… then just go to Hengde Building and wait for me, you should get there around the same time I do.”

“Don’t flake on me.”

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t flake.”

But Zhou Yuan seemed to hear the sound of “coo coo coo.”

·

Fifteen minutes after Zhou Yuan arrived at Hengde Building, Chen Guangxi drove up in a fiery red convertible sports car, carrying two cups of milk tea when she got out of the car.

“You still flaked.” Zhou Yuan said somewhat resentfully.

“I was only a few minutes late, a small flake isn’t a flake. Here’s some milk tea.” Chen Guangxi generously handed him a cup of milk tea.

Pop.

Zhou Yuan poked a straw into the milk tea and took a big sip, then asked: “Why did you want me on this case?”

“Got bored, wanted to bring along a newbie.” Chen Guangxi shrugged, “Jiang and the others went to a hot spring; I couldn’t find anyone else to team up with. Being alone was too dull, so I asked you along. At least you’re good-looking, easy on the eyes.

We dragons are all aesthetic creatures.”

“Thank you for calling me handsome.”

“It’s not a compliment, it’s a statement of fact.” Chen Guangxi paused, “Honestly, your transcendent development is pretty insane. Not only do you become more handsome, but your charisma increases. If I didn’t know you’re a Shadow System extraordinary person, I’d think you’re a succubus.”

“Is my situation rare?” Zhou Yuan asked, feigning ignorance as a newbie.

“Rare, but not unheard of.”

Chen Guangxi grinned, “There was a similar extraordinary person before who used his enhanced charm to latch onto a rich woman. In less than two months, he became so haggard he looked like a skeleton. Another month later, he ended up in the ER. He was saved but is impotent for life.”
