"Man-made increase in supernatural frequency?"
I was slightly startled.
Then it dawned on me.
"Old Shen, you mean... there are evil cultivators working secretly?"
Shen Rufeng smiled bitterly.
"It's still impossible to tell whether it is a natural change or a man-made change. Let's take it one step at a time. When the data comes out next month, maybe it will return to normal again?"
I nodded.
"That's right, after all, no evidence can stand alone. The change in one month may indeed be a coincidence. Let's see what happens next."
"Yes. Little guy, no matter how things change, let's just do our own thing well and strengthen the supervision of various areas in Chongqing City. It's just that our direct action team is not full yet. We can manage this little person now. The main urban area is very good. As for the counties and towns below, we can only find ways to find temporary workers. Hu Ling and I are also pushing forward this matter and let her formulate regulations..."
After all, in the vast counties, towns, mountains and villages, there are also a large number of private cultivators and strange people.
"Temporary worker?"
"That's right. You just cooperate with our Xiuxing Company and always pay attention to whether there are any evil spirits harming people or supernatural events in the county or town where you live. Deal with the situation when it occurs, and then report it to the company."
I immediately thought of Lao Cao, Li Miao, Yuan Fei and Daniu...
They are originally kind-hearted rural practitioners with a sense of justice. Even if there are no rewards or the like, they will try their best to deal with evil spirits when they encounter them.
If you become a "temporary worker" in Xiu Xing Company, in addition to making money by doing your job, you can also earn income and rewards by dealing with evil spirits and eradicating harm to the people.
Why not?
So I told Shen Rufeng about the situation and said that I had friends who could do "temporary work". Naturally, he praised me again, saying that I had shared the company's worries...
Finally, Shen Rufeng stood up and came to my side, patted my shoulder and said.
"In short, Xiao Wu, you don't have to worry too much. These are not the troubled times of the past. The trend of the world prospering and gradually entering a prosperous age will not change. The general trend of the world is supported by the luck of the dynasty. As long as we remain vigilant, no matter how powerful evil spirits and Even evil cultivators can’t change the world.”
Um!
I nodded.
"It's just that the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come and the soil will cover it up."
…
When he came out of Shen Rufeng's office, he happened to meet Xiang Fan, a disciple from a famous family who always looked like a domineering president in suits and ties.
When he saw me, he was startled for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying hello first.
"Hello, Team Leader Wu."
"Hello, Director Xiang."
Because he is the supervisor in charge of [Group E] and [Group Self], he is not very familiar with me and is just an acquaintance. They greeted each other and didn't say much else.
But I could see a somewhat worried look in his eyes, and he probably came to talk to Lao Shen about some troublesome matters.
…
The trouble has indeed begun!
Another month passed, the final exam was over, and the winter vacation was about to begin. I saw the general notice issued by the company in the group chat.
really!
The supernatural frequency in the entire Chongqing City has been greatly increased.
This month, the number of evil spirits that members of each action team randomly encountered and captured in their daily lives increased by 70% again compared to last month!
However, the company has not yet figured out the cause of the increase in [Supernatural Frequency], so we can only ask everyone to be more vigilant and proactively conduct inspections to find out and deal with evil spirits as much as possible...
In fact, I have always suspected that it was the evil cult organization that the Siamese surrender master named "Po Rong Xin" who had harmed the businessman Lu Yu's family had taken refuge in, and was behind the scenes.
After all, when Niu Bi and I interrogated the head-reducing master in the abandoned factory, he mentioned that there was a very powerful evil cultivator who was gathering people from all walks of life to gather in Yucheng to prepare for a "big event" in the future!
I had told Shen Rufeng this information shortly after joining Xiuxing Company and expressed my concerns.
But for more than a year, Xiuxing Company has not found any clues of such evil cultivators gathering or launching any bad things...
It was as if the Siamese prostitute Rong Xin deliberately told lies to deceive me.
But obviously not!
After all, I can still tell the truth from lies, especially when Niu Bi and I have completely subdued him and have an absolute advantage, and he mistakenly believes that he can survive.
So there is only one possibility...
From Po Rong Xin's description, it can be inferred that the master of evil cultivating is not inferior to Zhu Qihan in strength. He is definitely planning something big! Therefore, it has been carefully hidden.
I sighed as I looked at the phone screen.
"Well, it seems that there will be some instability in Chongqing City in the future!"
…
But no matter whether the days are calm or undercurrent, time never stops.
Always move forward indifferently and gently, move forward.
It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, time came to December 2004.
Throughout 2004, supernatural incidents occurred frequently in Chongqing!
And it gets more outrageous every month...
Especially since autumn, I hardly have much rest time every weekend. I rush around the vast main city of Yucheng, actively looking for whether there are evil spirits harming people.
Because there are too many!
Last month alone, more than 70 people were killed by evil spirits - although this number in a main urban area with a population of 8 million is like a drop of water in the ocean.
But compared to the same month last year, only three people were killed by evil spirits.
This is equivalent to an increase of more than twenty times!
This ratio is quite astonishing.
This was despite all the members of the action team of Xiuxing Company giving up their vacations, working harder and taking the initiative, so everyone felt a little heavy.
Whether it is my private conversation with Lao Shen or the unified announcement and forecast issued by the company, it shows that this is just the beginning... big changes are coming!
The [supernatural frequency] in Yucheng is still increasing!
But it was hard to find the source.
This made Shen Rufeng, Hu Ling and other company executives very anxious...
Since the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, we can only solve the problem passively!
In December 2004, there was another extremely important thing for me.
That is, I am turning eighteen!
I'm finally coming of age.
I remembered the prophecy made by the wandering Taoist priest when I was a child, saying that because of my strange destiny and extremely weak horoscope, I would not live to be fifteen at most...
And I finally changed my destiny against fate. Not only did I not die young, but I also became a practitioner step by step. Thinking about it carefully, it makes people sigh and sigh.
For all this, apart from the care of my parents, the person I should be most grateful to is my master!
But this irresponsible bad woman has been gone for three years without any news...
When I think about it, I feel a little sad.
