I've become Erlang Shen, only now I'm mysteriously resurrected.

Chapter 17: Recommended to Enter the 749th Bureau

Without a life-suppressing artifact, even the best experts in their department wouldn't dare face any of the strange creatures alone, not even the weakest one!

Now someone has told them,

An 18-year-old boy, empty-handed and without any life-suppressing objects, resolved the strange phenomenon of the 300 peak value with just a few words.

This sounds like a complete fantasy, but if it weren't for the fact that the gloomy atmosphere in the room was rapidly dissipating, the truth would have prevailed.

Otherwise, even if a knife were held to their throats, they wouldn't believe it.

"Miss Chu, could you please tell me the truth about what just happened?"

Luo Shaofeng took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions surging in his chest. His voice trembled slightly, but he still tried his best to remain calm as he asked.

"Yes, yes, please repeat it exactly as it was, without missing a single detail."

Lin Luoxue, who was standing to the side, quickly picked up the compass from the ground and stuffed it into her backpack. She also moved forward and stared wide-eyed, asking in a low voice.

The five team members behind Lin Luoxue also surrounded her in unison.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Chu Yahan's face, not daring to breathe too loudly for fear of disturbing her thoughts.

"..."

Chu Yahan held her teacup, glanced at the men in black surrounding the bed, and then turned to look at her father, Chu Yingxiong, beside her.

After Chu Yingxiong nodded slightly to her, indicating that she could speak freely, Chu Yahan said "oh," put down her water glass, and calmed herself down.

From the moment Su Nan made her first phone call to Chu Yingxiong, she repeated every single thing he had done and every single word he had said since he entered the room, word for word.

From the moment Su Nan was stopped at the door by the housekeeper and wrote down her symptoms on a piece of paper, to being treated as a fraud and scolded by Chu Yingxiong, to Su Nan's nonchalant remark: "Quiet, it's too noisy."

Then came Su Nan's words: "Get out of here."

In an instant, the face beneath the skin vanished. Finally, Su Nan turned and left, leaving behind the words, "Who told you that you need to use your hands to clean up these little things?" In the end, the vengeful ghost rushed out from Chu Yahan's body, crashed into the invisible golden net, and instantly turned to ashes.

Chu Yahan spoke very slowly throughout the entire process, without missing a single detail.

The bedroom was quiet, with only Chu Yahan's warm voice echoing in the air.

"This...this..."

Lin Luoxue stood frozen in place, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg, and the strap of her backpack was so tightly pulled that it was deformed.

She had been in this line of work with Captain Luo for five years, and had handled at least eighty or a hundred bizarre cases. The most powerful expert she had ever met was the venerable one at the bureau headquarters.

The over-seventy-year-old gentleman used his ancestral, century-old lightning-struck wooden token to set up an array for three days before he could barely suppress a strange creature with a peak value of two hundred.

But what about southern Jiangsu?

Forget about setting up an array, he didn't even bring a single magical artifact, nor did he lift a hand. He just sat there and said a few words, which took less than five minutes in total.

They wiped out a monster with a peak value of 300, leaving not even ashes.

This is beyond amazing; it's simply a miracle.

the other side,

at this time,

now,

Luo Shaofeng stood there, his muscles tense, and the back of his clothes were soaked with cold sweat without him even realizing it.

He originally thought that the solution Chu Yahan mentioned was at most because the young man had used some secret technique to seal the strange creature somewhere, or used some life-suppressing object to resolve the strange creature.

In his plan, it was highly likely that he would inflict heavy losses on both sides, even at the cost of a thousand casualties on the enemy.

That life-suppressing object will most likely suffer some damage, and Su Nan himself will also suffer some backlash, needing several months of rest to recover.

However, to Luo Shaofeng's utter surprise, the truth was so simple.

Even from a distance of over ten kilometers, two glances are enough to make a vengeful ghost cower in fear; a single sentence upon entering a room can silence it completely; and another sentence can make a possessing spirit retreat back into its heart.

There's no need for anyone to stay on the scene; just turn around and leave, and the vengeful ghost will rush out and be instantly annihilated.

What does this mean?

"Thump...thump...thump..."

Luo Shaofeng's heart was pounding wildly, each beat causing a sharp pain in his chest.

He's been in this business for over twenty years, and he knows better than anyone how dire the current situation is!

Signs of a mysterious resurgence have already appeared across the country, with the frequency of bizarre events increasing year by year.

The bureau is already short-handed, and top talents are extremely rare, each one a national treasure.

And now, an eighteen-year-old boy possesses such extraordinary abilities; this is truly a treasure bestowed upon Bureau 749 and the entire nation of China by heaven.

He still found it unbelievable, too far-fetched.

Even though Chu Yahan's words were sincere, he still felt a sliver of disbelief and subconsciously turned his gaze to Chu Yingxiong beside him.

To get confirmation from a second person,

His voice trembled as he asked, "Mr. Chu, what your daughter just said... is it all true?"

"Every word is true, not a single lie. I was there at the time and saw it with my own eyes."

This Master Su Nan didn't even lift a finger, let alone move his body much. He just said a few words, and my daughter's body was terrified, like a mouse seeing a cat.

He was gone for less than three minutes when that thing burst out of my daughter's body and vanished without a trace.

Chu Yingxiong sat on the edge of the bed, his face still pale from the aftermath of the ordeal.

Upon hearing Luo Shaofeng's question, he nodded heavily, his tone filled with deep respect and a hint of lingering fear as he answered earnestly.

Chu Yingxiong paused here, then added, "My daughter suddenly quieted down twice before, and we all thought it was because the monks in the temple were chanting sutras. Now we know it was just because a young monk from more than ten kilometers away glanced at this place."

"Hiss!"

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

Once again, a collective gasp of shock filled the bedroom; everyone in Bureau 749 was utterly stunned.

Luo Shaofeng clenched his fists tightly. His hawk-like eyes shone with an unprecedented light of excitement—the ecstasy of finding a priceless treasure.

He could no longer suppress the turmoil in his heart. He turned around abruptly and shouted at his team members behind him, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Quickly! Notify the Jiangcheng police to locate Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School immediately. We're going there now. We need to see this person in person!"

"If he's willing, I could even use all my achievements to recommend him for a position at headquarters, giving him the highest level of treatment in Southern Jiangsu!"

Luo Shaofeng had never lost his composure like this in his entire life. Only he knew what it meant to kill a peak-level monster with his bare hands.

This means that if he wanted to, he could be as good as a dozen top teams from Bureau 749. It also means that in the coming strange wave, they have an extra card that can decide the fate of the world.

Let alone being recommended for a core position, he would be willing to give up his captaincy even if it meant giving up his position.
