Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 796 - 769: Thorny Problem

Five days earlier.

A small courtyard in the Capital City was surrounded by soldiers, with bodies constantly being carried out and loaded into sealed corpse transport vehicles. The atmosphere at the scene was heavy.

"Officer, I don’t know. That’s the Otherworld Affairs Intelligence Bureau. I’m just an ordinary citizen. I don’t normally pay attention to such things," a neighboring resident said uneasily.

"Did something happen there?"

"Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked," the policeman warned with a stern face.

"I know, I know, it’s confidential, but is it dangerous?"

"Stay at home, don’t go out, and there will be no danger."

...

Inside the small building, the strong stench of blood was nauseating.

The place was filled with blood, making it almost impossible to find a place to step. Before the incident, there had been a bloody ritual inside, resulting in dozens of intelligence personnel and several nearby residents being brutally murdered. The sight was tragic and horrifying.

"Boss, the list of the deceased has been confirmed! A total of 68 people, including 64 staff members of the Otherworld Affairs Intelligence Bureau and 4 ordinary citizens, who are suspected to have noticed something amiss and were caught by the killer," a policeman reported.

Wang Chunqiang nodded, his expression as dark as water.

people!!!

There is no doubt that this incident involves mysteries from another world.

In this Capital City, in the political center of the Great Xia Country, such a bizarre and strange event happened, and in a government department like the Otherworld Affairs Intelligence Bureau. It was simply shocking, even alerting the higher-ups.

"Where is Director Huang?"

"Missing!"

"Who else is missing?"

"According to the attendance sheet found here, in addition to intelligence personnel on assignments, eight other people are missing."

Wang Chunqiang said in a deep voice, "Treat all the missing as suspects."

...

Everyone thought the matter would soon be clear, however, the situation continued to deteriorate rapidly, with more and more people involved in these brutal blood sacrifices.

Until an already mutated intelligence officer was captured alive, only then did everyone realize the gravity of the situation.

...

"Foolish and ignorant humans, the greatness of the Lord is beyond mortal imagination... Let me go!" The voice was sharp and manic.

This was a severely mutated human.

With a sunken and twisted forehead, severely torn mouth, teeth as sharp as a file, and terrifying non-human-like hands, even though everyone in the interrogation room had seen all kinds of monsters, they still felt a strong mental impact and a chilling evilness.

Especially since the other party was recently an intelligence officer.

"Stop pretending to be crazy. Think about your family, your children. Don’t you care at all? I advise you to confess honestly!"

The monster just let out a cold laugh, while turbid saliva kept flowing from the corners of its mouth. Its crazy eyes carefully scanned everyone present.

"What are you looking at?" asked a staff member, feeling uneasy under the gaze.

"Kekekeke, when you gaze at the Lord, the Lord also gazes at you. Soon you will all be like me, let us embrace the Lord together."

"Nonsense. Quickly tell us where your accomplices are!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much they interrogated, the other party remained silent, resisting furiously, screaming hysterically, the steel cables binding him creaking as if they would break at any moment.

Luo Jingwen felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, took out a pack of cigarettes, and walked out the door.

"Elder Luo, have one of mine." A deputy director from the Special Affairs Department followed him out, handed Luo Jingwen a cigarette, and lit it for him. "You have a wealth of experience. Have you encountered anything like this before?"

"Don’t ask me, I don’t know either," Luo Jingwen shook his head and said.

"There are too many bizarre things in this world, and besides, you guys from *** should know more than an average citizen like me."

The Otherworld Affairs Intelligence Bureau, although it was just an intelligence department, apart from possibly weaker clerical staff, had many martial artists, yet still got caught, and not just one.

This affair certainly reeks of strangeness.

It definitely isn’t the work of an ordinary Barbarian God.

"We don’t know much either!" The director paused for a few seconds, then said.

Luo Jingwen took a deep drag of his cigarette and said gravely, "It seems more troublesome than I imagined. Anyway, the other side gives me a very bad feeling. Everyone should be more careful."

This monster was captured by him alive.

Its power was comparable to a legendary figure. If it were when he first entered the legendary realm, he might have capsized in the gutter, and the other party had been just a newly promoted martial artist less than six months ago.

This is simply unbelievable.

At this moment, his phone rang, and the director took out his satellite phone. After glancing at the number, he quickly walked to a corner of the corridor to answer it.

"Yes, yes... all right, all right!"

He hung up the phone and returned to the doorstep.

"Elder Luo, General Manager Chen is coming over."

"Then let’s go to meet him." Luo Jingwen nodded and hurriedly put out the cigarette. He also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. With General Manager Chen here, everything would be settled.

...

"General Manager Chen, hello."

"General Manager Chen!"

"Lao Luo, you’re here too."

Chen Shouyi, upon receiving the President’s message, quickly rushed to the Capital City.

He looked serious, but still greeted Luo Jingwen and nodded slightly at the government official in uniform.

Before he came, he had already understood the general situation, and the matter was quite tricky.

This is a terrifying will pollution.

Tamu’s will itself may not have malicious intent. Its main target is Earth, as well as that "Ancestor God," not humans. Perhaps besides him, humans are not even considered ants in Tamu’s eyes.

He barely counts as an ant.

However, such an existence beyond human cognition, even as a concept, is not something mortals can handle. It is like a dazzling sun radiating endless light. Ordinary people would turn to ashes at a glance, and even prolonged indirect contact would gradually corrupt their mind and body, like a viral infection.

"Don’t interrogate the one inside, for it’s a source of will pollution." Before entering the door, Chen Shouyi quickly commanded.

"Also, lock down this place. Anyone who had contact cannot leave!"

Chen Shouyi’s indisputable tone made Luo Jingwen and the high-ranking police officers’ hearts tremble, sinking their hearts.

"Yes, General Manager Chen!" the director said loudly.

Chen Shouyi nodded, pulled out his satellite phone from the space, and called the President:

"... Everyone who had contact is very dangerous, with a huge hidden threat, they need to be temporarily isolated for observation for a period of time."

"Okay, leave the rest to me."

After Chen Shouyi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Immediately, his body shot up into the sky and disappeared into the night.

"General Manager Chen is getting scarier," Luo Jingwen said, looking up at the sky in awe.

"Indeed..." the director muttered absently.

At this moment, a staff member ran out quickly, his face full of panic.

"Director, Elder Luo, that monster vanished into thin air."

"What?"

"Impossible!"

They quickly returned to the room, only to find it empty. Even the steel cables originally binding the target had disappeared without a trace.
