"Chirp!"
As if to confirm what Zhang Xiaoman said, Jiujiu immediately let out a bright cry.
Lin Sisi was blessed with the spirit detection technique and could now see the outline of the other person.
When I saw something that looked like a little fox, I couldn't help but feel fond of it. I reached out my hand and touched it.
“So comfortable!”
A smile appeared on her face. The little thing felt so good that she immediately fell in love with playing with the fox.
However, Jiujiu didn't seem to be very used to being touched by people other than Zhang Xiaoman. At first, she wasn't too happy about it, but as time went by, she gradually gave up her struggle.
After dinner, Xiao Shun came over in a hurry.
"Boss, you're back. I found something at the Wildfire Tavern. I went over there today and met two monsters, and asked me to bring that thing back."
In the office, Xiao Shun placed a box on the table, and then gave a complete description of what happened today.
"Mutant beasts, Makula, and fragments..."
Zhang Xiaoman pondered for a moment after listening, and then quickly checked the records on the gang interface and found that an absorption message was indeed displayed.
It was a monster named Spiny Lizard. The points added were 50 points, which just reached the third level of strength.
Now members of the Star Alliance also have the ability to hunt alien species alone, so Zhang Xiaoman often earns points.
In order not to be disturbed, he simply blocked the system's prompt function, so he did not immediately discover the information that Hu Peng and Xun You had killed the monster.
"It seems that the guy who created the mutant beast is finally coming to the surface... According to the other party's current actions, it seems that the next target is Gaul..."
Zhang Xiaoman made an analysis based on the intelligence collected by several people, and then looked at the box in front of him.
Although he hadn't opened it yet, he had already felt the dark energy fluctuations contained in the box.
That's a very weird power.
Restless, evil, cold, crazy...
Just feeling it up close can make people feel disgusted.
Jiujiu on the side also looked disgusted, flying up and down beside Zhang Xiaoman for a long time, and barked twice from time to time to express his distaste for this thing.
Xiao Shun saw such an extra thing next to his boss and looked at it curiously. He wanted to ask what it was, but because the star master was thinking about the problem right now, he couldn't disturb him.
Zhang Xiaoman was about to open the box when he looked up and saw his expression and explained casually:
"This is a star spirit I discovered. Now I am my master. You can call it Chiu Jiu."
"Chirp!"
Chirp chirped in harmony.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't wait for Xiao Shun to say anything, and opened the box without stopping.
The black fragments, purple lines, and weird patterns, even without the need for dark energy, the naked eye can tell that this is an unknown item.
"Zizzizi..."
A sound of electricity sounded behind him, and the surrounding lights began to pulse, as if they were about to go out at any time.
"Click."
Zhang Xiaoman closed the box and raised his head to look at Xiao Shun sitting opposite.
"This thing emits light, and it seems to be able to affect the operation of electronic equipment. Please tell me its origin in detail, and don't miss any details."
"Ah, okay boss."
Xiao Shun immediately told the story about the item again, this time in more detail, telling all the details together with his conjectures.
"Hmm... I understand. In other words, apart from us, there is only one bounty hunter named Xizal who has seen it?"
"That's right, Weiss is quite reliable in his work. After discovering something was wrong with this thing, he immediately sent Hu Peng and the others over. During this period, the box was never seen by anyone, and it was never opened."
"Yes, the members of the Wildfire Team are also top hunters, and their awareness in this regard is still very strong."
Zhang Xiaoman thought of Weiss's group again. According to Su Changqing's report, they had recently made the Wild Fire Tavern a success.
"Boss, Gouzi and the others are now looking for the whereabouts of the mercenary. According to speculation, as long as we find out the origin of this fragment, we should be able to directly find the lair of those mutant beasts."
Xiao Shun said excitedly.
"Well, how long will it take?"
"Weiss said that the Sizarian is in Héro, and he can be found in three days at the latest."
"Three days? That's fine."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded and said: "By the way, give me the information about the man on the beach. I will come and find out who he is. This is also a breakthrough."
"OK!"
"By the way, the people in the Wildfire Tavern seem to have signed up to participate in the Awakened Trial this time, right? The trial will start in three days, and I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up."
Xiao Shun paused, nodded hesitantly and said: "This, it seems to be true... How about I go tell them and if it doesn't work, then I can participate in the next trial in three months?"
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head.
"No, the purpose of the trial is not just the test itself. Don't be too restricted by the form. Tell them that this task is a trial for them. If it can be completed successfully, I can agree to let them participate in the launch. Spiritual ritual.”
"Okay, I understand! Then boss, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
Xiao Shun agreed and was about to turn around and leave.
Zhang Xiaoman stopped him again.
"By the way, Xiao Shun, go help me tell Hu Peng and Xun You, let them let go of Erro's matter and focus on Gaul. Since it is a trial, this task will test the people of the Wildfire Team. Go do it yourself.”
"good!"
…
United States, button city, hat brim area.
Outside an old apartment building, a pickup truck was parked on the side of the road.
This car has been parked here for several days, and residents would take a few glances at it at first.
But later on, no one bothered to pay more attention to it when passing by.
The car has not been moved these days, and everyone thought it was left here by someone.
But what they didn't know was that although the car didn't move, the people inside were constantly changing.
At this time, in the truck, two men in casual clothes, one white and one black, were chatting.
"Let me tell you Tommy, we have been squatting here for almost a month. The kid inside is simply a deadbeat. No one has ever looked for him. I don't think he knows any extraordinary people at all."
The one who spoke was the black man. He was lying on the steering wheel, holding a piece of burger in his hand, looking longingly at the entrance of the building while eating.
In the car behind him, a white man named Tommy was lying in a chair, his eyes falling on a row of monitors in front of him.
What was playing on the monitor was the surveillance video of the apartment building across the street, from the outside to the inside, including several in the target's home.
"Tam, please stop complaining. I've heard this said thirteen times, why can't you just stop and stop?"
The man looked impatient and said:
"If you really have any objections, just go and tell Lu En. Or you can tell Jonathan. Don't destroy my ears anymore."
The black man Tam heard his companion's words and immediately shook his head.
"Haha, Tommy, how can I complain? I just feel that this guy is a deadbeat, and I have no other meaning."
"cut."
Tommy took out a nail clipper, and while cutting his nails, he looked at the surveillance camera and said casually:
"I said that you, the boy, just don't know the blessings in the midst of blessings. Do you know how many brothers envy our job? There is no need to face those monsters or deal with those mutant beasts, just look at that boy. , how relaxing!”
"You should be glad that I recommended you to come here with me to the team leader. Otherwise, look at the incident half a month ago. How many of our brothers stayed on that island? Do you think you can do it if you go there? Did you come back alive? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, you failed to pass the exam for the Hurricane Squad and you are not qualified to enter."
Tommy seemed to be talking more and more vigorously, and the movements of cutting nails in his hands became faster and faster.
"You are looking at Deputy Director Staci. After Lu En left, you asked him to stay here to investigate. What was the result? After the investigation, people were missing, and many brothers were also missing. Do you think if you What will happen if you are arranged into it?"
As he spoke, he exerted force on his hand, and a piece of his nail flew out, accidentally falling on Tam's burger.
Tam didn't pay attention and bit on it. As a result, he felt something was wrong in his mouth. When he took it out and took a look, his whole face suddenly turned the color of bitter melon.
"Shet! Tommy! I'm going to kill you!"
A scream sounded, and Tam looked angrily at the instigator, Tommy, who shrugged helplessly, saying that he didn't mean it.
"Okay, okay, don't get excited, look what that kid is doing? He went to the toilet, why hasn't he come out yet?"
"How long?"
"Almost forty minutes."
"Only forty minutes? Tommy, it's not like you don't know. That kid's highest record is one hour and twenty minutes. It's only forty minutes."
Tam said with disdain.
Tommy was immediately speechless.
At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded from the residential building, followed by another commotion, and the residents in the house ran out in fear.
"what happened!?"
The two people in the car were startled and immediately put away their laziness. Tommy was constantly switching monitors to observe the situation, while Tam sent abnormal information to the headquarters.
"Help! Help! Killer!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A scream rang out again, followed by a burst of gunfire.
"Is this a shooting?"
Tommy and Tam looked at each other, both wondering what was going on inside.
At this time, a large number of residents poured out from the corridor entrance. Tam finally couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately opened the car door and ran over, wanting to ask what happened.
"Madam, madam, what's going on inside? Can you tell me?"
He grabbed a woman in her sixties and asked.
The woman was so frightened that she didn't want to pay attention to him at all. After struggling twice, she wanted to run away.
"Madam! Madam! I am a police officer. Don't be afraid. You are safe now. I need to know the situation inside. Please cooperate!"
Tam immediately took out an ID from his pocket, and the woman gradually calmed down after seeing this.
"The evil spirit! It's the evil spirit! The evil spirit appears again! I saw it killing people with my own eyes! Oh my God! My neighbor, Bob, has bad legs and feet and can't run away at all..."
The woman still looked flustered and her speech was somewhat incoherent.
However, Tam still learned from its contents what might have happened.
monster!
The monster must have appeared again!
That boy is indeed related to these extraordinary events!
Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence? Both times monsters appeared at his house.
Tam asked in detail what happened there, but the woman couldn't tell her any useful information. She just kept shouting that she saw an evil spirit.
Tam was asking the residents about the specific appearance of the so-called evil spirit. In the car, Tommy was staring at the surveillance camera without blinking.
There are a total of eight monitors here, all of which focus on the target's home and the stairways he must pass through.
At this moment, as the residents ran out of the building one after another, the chaos in the surveillance room had turned into dead silence.
The surveillance they used had sound, and Tommy could clearly hear some subtle noises near the corridor.
"Damn it, what is in there? Come out and let your uncle Tommy see what you look like."
He subconsciously muttered to himself, staring closely at several monitors, not daring to miss anything.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of one of the surveillance screens, and this scene was immediately captured by Tommy, who was staring at the screen intently.
"Sure enough! Sure enough, something appeared!"
Tommy immediately took out his communicator and sent another request for support to the headquarters.
This time, he made it clear that there were abnormal creatures here.
And the reason why he was so sure was that this thing was too big.
Although it only passed by in a flash, it can still be seen from the shadow that the thing is definitely not human!
It is impossible for humans to have such a huge body!
"Damn it! How did that thing get in? We have been looking at the entrance here, and there are so many people on the nearby streets. It is absolutely impossible for it to get in like that!"
Tommy stared at the surveillance camera, but he was thinking about the origin of the monster.
At the same time, the Hurricane Bureau branch in Button City immediately dispatched a hurricane team and several helicopters as transportation and aerial fire support. The police also received orders to block the surrounding road sections.
