Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!
Chapter 51 23 Kittens
“That’s right.” Shi Shaowei nodded. “They come in all sorts of bizarre forms and have all sorts of strange abilities, but they all have one thing in common: they harbor great malice towards humans.”
"How did the strange phenomenon occur?" Xu Hao asked, a question that had been troubling him for a long time.
"There's no definitive answer yet," Shi Shaowei shook his head. "Some say it's an alien invasion, some say it's the opening of some kind of interdimensional portal, and others say it's some kind of unknown energy eruption..."
"But in any case, the supernatural has become the greatest threat to humanity, and our Bureau of Supernatural Affairs exists to combat it." Shi Shaowei said firmly, "We will do everything we can to protect the safety of humanity."
Xu Hao recalled the black and white photos on the wall, and a sense of mission welled up in his heart.
Xu Hao's mind flashed back to those black and white photos, each vibrant face now reduced to a cold, lifeless black and white. They might have been parents, children, or friends, but without exception, they had all lost their lives due to the bizarre invasion.
He seemed to see a young mother, her body torn apart by a grotesque monster while protecting her child; he also saw a brave warrior, facing a tidal wave of monsters alone to cover his comrades' retreat…
These images were branded into Xu Hao's mind, causing him waves of excruciating pain. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but he was completely unaware of it.
"No matter what kind of powerful figure I become in the future, as a member of humanity, I have a duty to eliminate these monstrous things." Xu Hao secretly vowed in his heart, "Even if I become invincible one day, what's the point if all of humanity is destroyed?"
Shi Shaowei led Xu Hao through a corridor lined with offices on either side, from which the sounds of keyboards being typed or hushed discussions could be heard. Everything seemed orderly, no different from an ordinary government office. If it weren't for the startling and eerie photos on the walls, Xu Hao would almost have forgotten where he was.
“Our bureau has always been short-staffed, and every department is short-staffed, so we’re usually quite busy,” Shi Shaowei explained as they walked. “But don’t worry, I’ll introduce you to everything later and show you around so you can get used to the environment and integrate as quickly as possible.”
As they spoke, they arrived at an office door with a sign that read "Logistics Support Department." Shi Shaowei gently knocked on the door, and a clear female voice came from inside: "Come in!"
Pushing open the door, Xu Hao saw a young woman in her early twenties sitting behind a desk. She had short, shoulder-length hair, delicate features, and wore a smart uniform. She was engrossed in writing and drawing on a document. Hearing the door open, she looked up, revealing a bright smile: "Brother Wei, you're here! And this is…"
"This is our new colleague, Xu Hao," Shi Shaowei introduced. "Xiao Xu, this is Zhao Miaomiao, who is in charge of our logistics support. We all call her the floor cleaner."
"Wei-ge! Why did you say my nickname again!" Zhao Miaomiao glared at Shi Shaowei, pretending to be angry, then turned to Xu Hao and extended her hand. "Hello, hello, welcome to the Bureau of Mysterious Affairs. Just call me Miaomiao from now on. By the way, don't forget to put away your spare ribs next time. Last time you almost scared an old scavenger."
Xu Hao was startled and quickly reached out to shake her hand: "I'm so sorry! I'll definitely be more careful next time! Sister Miao Miao, please take care of me in the future."
"Don't mention it, we're all colleagues, helping each other is only right. Besides, it's our duty." Zhao Miaomiao laughed heartily, then pointed to a few chairs opposite the desk and said, "Please sit down for a while, I'll finish up what I'm doing."
Shi Shaowei nodded, pulled Xu Hao to sit down in a chair, and then introduced him to the other people in the room.
"The one wearing glasses and looking scholarly is Li Wenxuan, 25 years old. He is one of the few top students in our bureau and is mainly responsible for intelligence analysis and research. His special ability is 'Evil Eye,' which allows him to see information flow that ordinary people cannot see and analyze strange weaknesses."
Upon hearing Shi Shaowei's introduction, Li Wenxuan looked up and smiled slightly at Xu Hao as a greeting, before lowering his head again to continue working.
"That burly guy wiping a big knife is Zhang Qiang, thirty years old, a retired soldier. His special ability is 'Iron Body,' which can greatly enhance his strength and defense. He is a key fighter in our bureau."
Upon hearing his name, Zhang Qiang responded in a muffled voice, then continued wiping his precious broadsword. The sword looked quite old, its blade covered with mottled marks, yet it still gleamed coldly, clearly a weapon that had killed many strange and monstrous creatures.
"The last girl sitting in the corner, resting with her eyes closed, is Lin Xiaoyu. She's eighteen years old and the youngest member here. Don't let her young age fool you; her special ability is incredibly powerful. It's called 'mind control,' which allows her to manipulate the thoughts of creatures within a certain range. She's a master of mind control."
Lin Xiaoyu seemed to have heard Shi Shaowei's introduction. She slowly opened her eyes, her dark pupils like unfathomable pools, making it difficult to look directly at her. She merely glanced at Xu Hao indifferently, then closed her eyes again, seemingly unconcerned about everything.
"Oh, right, there's another new colleague, just like you, who just arrived." Shi Shaowei seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his forehead and said, "He just reported for duty yesterday, but it seems he took the day off today. I'll introduce you two when he gets here."
He looked around, as if to confirm the number of people, and then nodded. "Alright, these are all the members of our Weird Bureau ZZ Branch Action Team."
Xu Hao was stunned. He looked around, his eyes filled with disbelief. Counting the new colleague who didn't come today, plus himself, there were only six people at most?
"Just...just these people?" Xu Hao asked hesitantly, his tone filled with disbelief. "ZZ City is a megacity with nearly ten million people. How can just a few of us handle it?"
Shi Shaowei seemed to have anticipated this question, and smiled helplessly, "The problem of insufficient manpower has always existed. It's not that the higher-ups haven't tried to find a solution, but as you know, not everyone is qualified to become a member of the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs' action team. They must be superhumans, and..."
He lowered his voice, leaned close to Xu Hao's ear, and said in a volume only the two of them could hear, "You've seen it too, our job is extremely dangerous. The chance of being reborn into a new family is over 20% every year. Brother, if you regret it, we can send you to another department. After all, the medicines and talismans you have are very valuable, and we absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes."
Xu Hao fell silent.
