‘Are there other people in the security booth?’
‘I could take note of it and then destroy the book.’ Wu Yong thought of this idea.
‘If only I had the strength… Ah, why am I thinking about this? To actually envy an antisocial Spirit Summoner.’ Wu Yong shook his head, feeling like something was wrong with him.
“Primordial Spirit Unification Method?” Wu Yong whispered the name of the book.
“Umbrella Company, intelligent home systems, safeguarding your life.”
“Phew~ they’re gone.” Wu Yong also breathed a sigh of relief, his own life was saved.
“Spirit Summoners really became a thing of the past, and it’s only been ten years.” Wu Yong wasn’t old, he had a sister he had found.
“It is rumored that the vice president of Umbrella Company will arrive at the end of this month…”
“Shush~” The other person had an indifferent expression and indicated not to make any noise.
“Stop, you stop right there!”
“This thing, must absolutely not be exposed.”
“Mid Rank Spirit Summoner, that strong?” Wu Yong found it hard to believe that nowadays Spirit Summoners were no longer divided into Ninth Grades but into low, mid, and high ranks, making it easier to recognize.
“The latest Spirit Summoner Protection Regulations…”
Naturally, the Umbrella Company’s scrutiny of Spirit Summoners was quite strict. Although they wouldn’t torture your body, they tortured your spirit instead.
He had thought the other person was still at ease, but unexpectedly, they weren’t a match for firearms, which left him somewhat disheartened.
However, after turning around, he suddenly noticed that the other person had left something next to his teacup.
Most were under strict surveillance by the Umbrella Company because these Spirit Summoners possessed antisocial personalities, not wanting to live decently but aiming to reclaim their privileged lives.
But his body abruptly stiffened because he saw a drop of crimson liquid in a corner of the security booth, and he was certain it had nothing to do with him.
Of course, it wasn’t because the Court was generous but rather because they had received a bribe, so they turned a blind eye and just let it pass.
And the calamitous disaster that caused chaos at that time has not shown its shadow even till today.
Then, after flipping through it, he was very surprised in his heart; he hadn’t expected that the other person would leave behind a Secret Technique book.
And he didn’t dare make a sound, because his life was still in the hands of the other person. The Spirit Summoner couldn’t beat the Law Enforcers because they had guns, but he didn’t even have a gun, let alone bring a Heroic Spirit.
He realized that the other person had disappeared at some point.
He saw several Law Enforcers dressed in Umbrella Company uniforms riding motorcycles whizzing past him, and they were chasing a Spirit Summoner.
Moreover, this Secret Technique was not simple; it was quite powerful. As long as he practiced it, he could grow without the potential limitations of a Heroic Spirit.
Fortunately, it seemed the other person had just come to take refuge and hadn’t really intended to take action. This was, after all, a busy area, and as an antisocial Spirit Summoner, one would not dare to take aggressive action openly.
The status of Spirit Summoners in today’s society was not well-received because most of the incidents back then were caused by Spirit Summoners. It’s only been ten years; the pain couldn’t possibly be forgotten so easily. Perhaps it would take a hundred years to fade away.
Watching the Law Enforcers and the antisocial Spirit Summoner walk away, he then came back to his senses and hurried toward the factory under the jurisdiction of Umbrella Company.
Even the news by the roadside was broadcasting the Spirit Summoner Protection Regulations. Nowadays, Spirit Summoners were almost the same as disabled people; as long as there was a Heroic Spirit in the household, one could collect some security money. But conversely, if either the Heroic Spirit or the Spirit Summoner used Extraordinary Ability to harm society, they would be unconditionally sentenced to Death.
The crowd of workers quickly passed by, which made the place much quieter. He glanced through the corner of his eye at the shadow on his security booth.
Going to school was out of the question; he had to go to work. After all, for him, living was just a notch above surviving.

The great families and the Court were completely incapable of suppressing the various acts of arson, murder, and plunder that ensued when order was lost, until the Umbrella Company emerged out of nowhere. They not only quelled all the chaos but also took over the rights of the families and the Court. From that moment on, Spirit Summoners had already perished.
Looking up in the direction of the dripping blood, he saw his security booth was a bit small, but not short.
Although cultivation techniques and Secret Techniques weren’t exactly prohibited texts, he couldn’t explain their origins because his Wu Family simply did not have such high-level Secret Techniques. If anything went wrong, it would definitely attract the scrutiny of the Umbrella Company.
As the time for work approached, many factory employees were gradually coming into the factory. He didn’t need to worry about that since employees had to swipe their cards to enter. It was a daily routine; without swiping their cards, they couldn’t get in and would be blocked by the door.
So now people are speculating that the big event back then was likely an initiative by the Court to eliminate the great families, and the large pit in Baijing State was caused by the battles between Ninth Grade Spirit Summoners, which directly led to Baijing State becoming a giant pit.
He wasn’t heading to the assembly line—currently, he couldn’t because he wasn’t old enough—so he worked as a security guard.
He still remembered how seriously his father treated his Spirit Summoning Ceremony, but alas, his Heroic Spirit was merely of Low Rank. At that time, his father seemed to age ten years.
He still remembered the chaos that overwhelmed the entire world when he was six years old.
He had thought that the power of Spirit Summoners was just so-so, but he didn’t expect Mid Rank Spirit Summoners to be able to ignore firearms. He couldn’t help but be dumbfounded for a moment.
Wu Yong grew up in such an environment. Although he was a Spirit Summoner, his Heroic Spirit was only of Low Rank, so he didn’t encounter any hassles. On the contrary, the subsidy for his Heroic Spirit was one of his few sources of income every month.
Wu Yong knew that his former Wu Family was a great family, but that was all in the past. After the Battle of Baijing State, his family was left with only his father as a survivor. Afterward, failing to maintain the family fortune, they gradually declined.
Wu Yong naturally recognized the man. It was the Spirit Summoner who had been pursued by the Umbrella Company’s Law Enforcers in the morning, and he was seriously wounded.
Now, the remaining number of Spirit Summoners is not large. According to the statistics of the Umbrella Company, there are only about a hundred thousand. The number of new-generation Spirit Summoners, like Wu Yong, is actually quite small. More are remnants from the past, and some Low Rank Spirit Summoners are also destabilizing factors in society.
It was thanks to his identity as a Spirit Summoner that it was even his turn otherwise, would finding burly men for the guard post be difficult?
Luckily, he was still young at the time; otherwise, his father might have been dragged off to Baijing State, and he probably would have perished as well.
A book that looked ancient and unlike the machine-printed ones issued by the Umbrella Company; one is machine-printed while the other is handwritten.
At first, the rules set by the Umbrella Company didn’t even take Spirit Summoners into consideration, until tanks and bombers made their appearances. After that, no one opposed it anymore.
A sharp shout rang out, and Wu Yong instinctively stopped in his tracks and looked back.
News kept streaming in, and Wu Yong couldn’t help but smile bitterly as he touched his nose.
As a result, for most ordinary people who were not Spirit Summoners, they naturally agreed with the Umbrella Company’s current strategy—to curb the unrestricted use of extraordinary abilities.
Therefore, he was only planning to avoid this disaster for the time being.
Therefore, he could only swallow his saliva, nodded, turned around, and sat back down, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Therefore, quite a few Spirit Summoners formed underground terrorist organizations specifically targeting the various branches and manufacturing plants of the Umbrella Company.
What he got in exchange for his identity as a Spirit Summoner was probably just standing guard at the door. Although the pay wasn’t as much as the factory workers on the assembly line, it was still an income.
After that, he no longer paid attention to Spirit Summoners because the Umbrella Company appeared.
He had arrived early in his security booth and to be honest, although it was a bit small, he found it quite reasonable. It had air conditioning, tea water, and even a radio and a small TV—not exposed to wind or rain. The most he did every day was to lift the bar for vehicles and register visitors.
This Spirit Summoner’s Heroic Spirit seemed to be a Ranger whose strength was quite remarkable. As they ran, they countered attacks, effortlessly dodging bullets under the gunfire of the Law Enforcers.
This led him to suspect there was something wrong with the tea he brewed, prompting him to quickly get up to check.
Just as he watched the bustling crowd outside, Wu Yong suddenly heard a drip in his security booth, as if it were the sound of a water droplet hitting the ground.
It was just that the factory management saw his living conditions were rather poor, so they let him in.
There was someone hiding on top, like a huge bat.
