Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 86 Can I Escape?
The morning rain pattered against the windows of the Non-Natural Bureau.

Outside the window, on the surface of a giant black cloud that floats silently, several minks are happily wielding spirit-measuring sticks, draining the spiritual energy pool.

"Aww aww?"

Diao Tiao glanced at the reading on the spirit storage pot... After one night, the pool had gained ten liters of spiritual energy!

A whole day is equivalent to two nights.

It counted the number carefully by counting the sable paws... and then counted the paws of the sable teeth that had come closer, and it took a long time to figure it out.

"Awoooooo!"

Twenty liters in one day!
Several minks nearby grinned, revealing their small, sharp teeth, and chuckled.

On the sofa next to him, Wu Yun was drinking a glass of freshly squeezed peach juice, auditing a class from the Bureau of Non-Natural Affairs.

The lecturer today was not Teacher Wu, but rather a celestial official who appeared to be a city god.

The content of the story is also quite horrifying.

"...So far, we still cannot explain this phenomenon."

"But the City God Temple in Yinsha City in the Northwest has indeed encountered a major problem."

“Every night, the City God Temple appears in the night sky.”

“Every window of the temple will be illuminated by lights.”

"In the lamplight, there were also shadowy figures."

"According to survivors, strange reading sounds would emanate from the temple, permeating the entire city of Silver Sands."

"Those who hear the sound of reading will feel dizzy, have a headache, lose their balance, and bleed from all seven orifices."

"To date, all survivors in Yinsha City have been successfully evacuated and properly resettled."

"That city became a ghost town."

"But the City God Temple still appears in the night sky every night."

“Every window of the temple is still lit up every night.”

“There were still shadowy figures in the lamplight.”

“The figure can still make the sound of reading.”

"The cordon has been set up 50 miles outside the city, all roads leading to that city have been cut off, and all flights have been canceled."

In the classroom, the celestial official students listened with sighs of emotion.

Gu Qingfeng, sitting in the front row, was even paler and under considerable psychological pressure.

"Oh?

"Someone asked about the City God of Yinsha City?"

The teacher on the screen gave a wry smile.

"That City God official entered the City God Temple once before and never came out again."

"His fate is still unknown."

In the classroom, Li Nuanling, Fang Min, and other students all looked at Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qingfeng's expression was even more strange, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Alright, everything I'm sharing with you is top secret."

"We can't tell anyone."

Outside the window, Wu Yun held a glass of peach juice, his heart filled with emotion.

Yinsha City is larger in area and has a larger population than Donghu City.

Now, it's a ghost town?

So what exactly happened?
If the same thing happened in Donghu City, could he escape?

……

Before long, the class ended.

Li Nuanling, Fang Min, Gu Qingfeng and the others got up and left. They all walked quickly, chatting and laughing, but their faces couldn't hide their exhaustion.

"Happy times are always short-lived."

"Haha, class is over, everyone hurry back to work."

"Classes always come to an end, but why is it that work never ends?"

As soon as Li Nuanling stepped out of the classroom, Gu Qingfeng called her back.

"At 9:30, go to the interrogation room and interrogate the newly captured celestial official criminal."
"The other magicians have all been arranged."

Li Nuanling nodded.

"Okay, Director."

Although she had many other jobs and heavy training tasks... she had to go to this interrogation.

This is an ironclad rule in non-natural systems from top to bottom... Celestial officials must be judged by celestial officials themselves!

call……

A giant black cloud pierced through the rain curtain and wandered around Donghu City.

Wu Yun stood at the edge of the giant cloud, observing the effect of the spirit-gathering array on absorbing spiritual energy...

"It really isn't affected by location much."

Whether you fly higher or lower, in the city or the suburbs, the effect of absorbing spiritual energy is almost the same.

However, it will be affected by the direction of the flare opening!

The funnel-shaped opening points towards the sea, so the absorption of spiritual energy is much less effective... After all, Donghu is a coastal city, and there are no slaughterhouses or people dying in the sea.

If the direction is inland, the absorption of spiritual energy will be better.

"How far will this affect?"

"Is the radiation level estimated to have spread to the entire Taidong Province?"

As he wandered around, he occasionally looked down at the city below.

However, several old residential areas were found to have buildings that had collapsed in the heavy rain!

Presumably, the foundation was damaged by prolonged soaking from the rainwater.

In a few newer neighborhoods, only one or two buildings collapsed.

However, they were also making arrangements for the relocation of residents in large and small vehicles at a rapid pace.

Some older commercial streets and small and medium-sized shopping malls also collapsed in the rain.

From a bird's-eye view, the entire city of Donghu was far from peaceful as the news portrayed; in fact, it suffered considerable damage.

Wu Yun controlled the giant black cloud and flew upwards, quickly soaring higher and higher.

While feeling a sense of regret, I was also quite relieved.

"Fortunately, my neighborhood is located on relatively high ground, so it wasn't flooded."

"Otherwise, I guess we'd have to move by now."

……

In the conference room.

Gu Qingfeng, Li Nuanling, Qin Wei, and others were studying the results of the interrogation.

"...The perpetrator confessed to the home invasion and murder."

"That guy is a real scoundrel. He's been eyeing the male head of that household for a long time, saying that the male head likes to work out and has a muscular physique, making him a good material for refining corpse soldiers!"

"He also wanted to collect spiritual energy by killing people, and then use that spiritual energy to exchange for gold."

Upon hearing the word "exchange," everyone in the conference room pricked up their ears and widened their eyes.

This is a strange phenomenon recently discovered by the Non-Natural Department, and it is being investigated and dealt with as a priority!
"He confessed that a ghost in a suit would come to him precisely at 5:08 PM every day to buy his spiritual energy and pay him accordingly."

"He believed that money would become less and less valuable in the future, while gold would have a more stable value in times of chaos, so he always wanted gold."

The expressions on everyone's faces in the conference room were strange.

Actually... the value of gold has recently fallen.

Because wealthy people have discovered that the money in their bank accounts doesn't mysteriously decrease in size.

But the gold stored in the safe at home always mysteriously disappears!

Li Nuanling continued her report.

"Moreover, our investigation revealed that the gold on the perpetrator was stolen from our Donghu City."

"I know the person who was robbed; he's been a friend of mine for many years."

His name is Wang Yaozu.

Gu Qingfeng, who chaired the meeting, asked a few more questions and then summarized the meeting.

"Okay, everyone, thank you for your hard work."

"I will immediately report the relevant situation to Beijing."

"Meeting adjourned, everyone go back to your own business."

……

The day passed quickly.

Under the warm lights, Wu Yun and a dozen employees were enjoying their dinner around the dining table.

I finally got to eat steak today, even though I missed it last night!

"Waaaaah, waaaaah!"

Mink Huhu, clutching his knife and fork, excitedly showed his brothers the beautiful Maillard reaction crust he had created and the tender, juicy interior of his steak!
