Chapter 50: 'Shadow'
Jiangcheng Executive Bureau.
Wiring Department.
A dozen operators work together in a large office.
Answering calls to the Executive Board is their job.
Unlike other places, being an operator in the Executive Board is a fairly comfortable job.
Stable income and adequate staff.
Most importantly, work is still leisurely.
Those who call the Executive Board are simply in two types of trouble.
One is the crime of duelists. This kind of incident is also relatively common.
There are always some people who, after possessing some power, can't help but inflate, trying to provoke the majesty of the law.
Duelist crimes are not necessarily serious and vicious crimes. There are also illegal incidents such as stealing cards or street fights. No matter how big or small, as long as cards are involved, they belong to duelist crimes.
Most of the duelists suspected of committing crimes are not real duelists, but apprentices or guys with soul connection ability.
But even the number of duelist crimes is relatively limited.
The second is the chaos of monsters in the secret realm caused by the fluctuation of the secret realm. This is even less. The entire Jiangcheng may not be able to meet several times throughout the year.
Therefore, they don't receive many calls on weekdays, and even a lot of times, they can't get a call from the end of the day.
To sum up, being an operator in the Executive Board is indeed an enviable career.
Jingle Bell.
The phone rang, and more than a dozen operators who were playing with their mobile phones raised their heads at the same time, and their eyes converged on the bell.
This phone call was the first in the past two days.
"Probably another young man with no morals who couldn't resist the temptation of his cards, tsk tsk."
"There's no way, who made the monster card a real thing, it's young."
Several operators chatted and laughed and talked about intriguing topics.
"what?!"
Suddenly, the operator who answered the phone widened his eyes and screamed in surprise.
The sudden increase of the volume also broke the atmosphere of the joke.
"What's going on? Could it be that another mysterious monster has appeared?" An operator became nervous when he thought of the last Chujie electronic dragon incident.
The atmosphere in the entire wiring department also gradually became solemn, especially when he saw Xiao Zhang, the cold sweat on the forehead of the young operator, he felt even more uneasy.
"Okay, okay, I see."
Xiao Zhang's answer also stuttered a bit, and put down the phone with a bit of trembling, which further verified the bad news conveyed by the call.
"Xiao Zhang, what's going on?"
"Xiao Zhang, speak up, what happened?"
Several veterans from the wiring department asked solemnly, their faces no longer smiling.
"It's a school..."
Xiao Zhang's face was pale and looked a little unbelievable. He said with difficulty, "Jianghua High School was attacked by a group of unknown duelists!"
"impossible!"
Hearing this, a veteran was the first to express his disbelief and said loudly: "Xiao Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about, today is the day when all high schools with dueling subjects hold graduation ceremonies. They are all powerful duelists, who would dare to do such a daring thing in front of them?"
"Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if something goes wrong, they can easily settle it by themselves, and why don't they call us? Are you sure it's not a prank?"
The others also looked at each other in disbelief at this time, and their expressions were also somewhat disbelieving.
No way, who would call this absurd, and say it without the slightest convincing.
Xiao Zhang also understood this, but he added: "But Brother Wang, this call is specially marked, indicating that it was an emergency call from Jianghua High School. Can ordinary people have this authority?"
"what?!"
Veteran's face changed greatly, no matter how absurd this matter was, but when it comes to emergency calls, the nature of the matter is completely different.
Emergency calls, which are usually authorized by the Duelists Association, and cannot be made in ordinary places.
No matter how unreasonable this matter is, it is impossible to take it lightly as a prank.
"Then what should I do now, should I notify the Law Enforcement Department?" Someone asked hurriedly.
This question, however, made it difficult for everyone.
The Law Enforcement Department, that's the section set up specifically for duelist crimes.
However, because the duelists who commit crimes are usually very weak, and most of them are not even apprentice-level duelists, so the law enforcement department, aside from the minister reaching the glory level, the rest of the law enforcement officers are basically star-level duelists.
A person at the level of the Minister of Law Enforcement is not idle in the Executive Bureau every day, and he was not recorded on the registration form today.
And if other law enforcement officers are called to deal with this matter, can they really get involved in this incident unless they are dispatched in large numbers?
Even if they are dispatched in large numbers, they may not be able to handle this incident perfectly.
Jianghua High School was attacked, but there were Glory-level duelists in town, and the troubles that Glory-level couldn't solve, wouldn't it be useless to replace them?
"Otherwise, tell this to the Monster Hunting Department." Someone suggested.
The Monster Hunting Department is a group of experts who specialize in dealing with the chaos of monsters in the secret realm. These experts are called monster hunters, or "hunters" for short.
As hunters, they, the most common bronze medal hunters, have the strength of three-star duelists.
The Silver Hunter has reached the Glory level.
And if it is a gold medal hunter, it has the strength to honor Samsung.
The number of personnel in the Monster Hunting Department is much smaller than that of the Executive Department, and it is even less likely that they will be on duty in a rush on weekdays, but today, there is still a silver medal hunter in the bureau.
"There is a clear division of labor among the various departments of the Executive Board, and they have never dealt with incidents in other departments on their behalf." The veteran pondered for a moment, and then said: "But today is really an emergency, no matter what they think, we just communicate it, and it will happen. It's urgent, it can't be delayed any longer."
Everyone nodded, and they made a decision. Xiao Zhang also picked up the phone and was about to call the Monster Hunting Department when he heard someone walking in humming a little song.
Seeing this person, the atmosphere in the hall changed.
The visitor was a young man of about twenty-six or seven years old. He had dyed yellow hair, and was wearing leisurely shorts. His legs were exposed wantonly, and slippers were on his feet.
He also carried three 2L large bottles of Coke in both hands. The thumb, middle finger, and little finger were covered with large Coke rings. On the left and right shoulders were two large bags of snacks.
The aura of the whole person seemed out of tune with the nervous connection department at the moment.
"What's wrong (how), look I'm handsome?"
I don't know how he opened his mouth. He stood still and said vaguely.
No one answered, and they didn't know what to say for a while, so they had to pretend they didn't see him and dodged their eyes.
At this time, the face of Xiao Zhang who hung up the phone looked rather ugly.
"What's wrong?" The old man swallowed and asked nervously.
"Mr. Wu Feng asked us to contact the law enforcement department first to confirm that the situation on the scene is true, and then contact him if necessary."
"Damn talk!"
The veteran's lungs are about to explode with anger. How could the other party answer such an important event?
What about kicking the ball?
The school has urgently asked for help, do you still have time to send someone for further confirmation?
Who are these people, they deserve not to be rated as a gold medal hunter for the rest of their lives!
The old man pointed at Wu Feng's nose and cursed in his heart, but he also knew that now was not the time to act with anger.
"What should I do?" Xiao Zhang asked helplessly at this time.
"There's no way, let the people from the Law Enforcement Department be notified first." The veteran sighed, but also very weak. Who told him that he didn't have the ability to solve problems, he should just be a messenger, and he couldn't blame others.
"What's the matter? I'm doing riddles here. Didn't you see me here, Master?"
The yellow-haired man who had been ignored for a long time was angry, and he couldn't care about the snacks in his mouth.
Seeing him go wild, everyone couldn't help looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
In fact, they don't know what Huang Junwei's identity is.
On weekdays, he appears less often, and every time he appears, it is this picture of a snack in his mouth and a cola in his hand, which shows that every time he goes out, he is to fill the granary.
But it is such a person, but it is said to be a member of the mysterious department "Shadow", and the director has personally explained that if you see Huang Junwei, you will not see it. Don't take the initiative to talk to him.
The fact is also true. In the past, Huang Junwei never took the initiative to talk to them.
But today, it is unprecedented.
After hesitating for a moment, the veteran first gestured to Xiao Zhang to contact the people from the Law Enforcement Department with his eyes, and then turned to Huang Junwei and said, "Uh, this is how it goes..."
…
Ganghwa High School.
In the campus gymnasium.
The parasites that fell from the sky have been cleaned up, but at this time, the atmosphere in the venue is still extraordinarily solemn.
The fog that permeated the venue was getting thicker and thicker, gradually blurring the vision.
There is a teacher who is proficient in light attribute monsters, trying to use the light element to disperse the black fog, but as soon as the light element touches the black fog, it is immediately devoured.
To make matters worse, the principal Yang Shan and the dueling class teacher Wu Jiayuan, who rushed out not long ago, have now lost their movement.
dong dong.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came in from outside, and a dozen figures could be seen vaguely.
"Be careful!"
The vice-principal, who was temporarily in charge of the on-site command, shouted. With sharp eyes, he was the first to see someone coming in.
Although it is a human figure, his identity is really doubtful when he comes in at this time.
"Everyone, don't panic, we are from the Executive Bureau. We were having dinner at a nearby restaurant, but we didn't expect to receive a call from the school for help. No, we didn't finish our meal, so we rushed over."
A man's voice came from the dark fog.
"It turned out to be like this. Thank you for your help. There are indeed some problems in our school."
The vice-principal responded without the slightest smile. At the moment when these words fell, a green-skinned monster as strong as a boulder couldn't help but make a throwing motion.
A roof-shaped green boulder slammed out, and a shrill scream sounded. A hapless man who could not avoid was hit by the boulder, lost half his life on the spot, and lost his mobility.
"Old stuff."
Zhou Zheng scolded in a low voice. He originally planned to pretend to be someone from the Executive Bureau, relying on these people's lack of understanding of them, in order to do better, but he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive.
Of course, the vice-principal will not hesitate. What kind of agency is the Executive Board?
How could it be possible that at this noon, more than ten people would go to a nearby restaurant for a meal together leisurely?
What's more, isn't it a joke to come so quickly and so coincidentally?
Also, if it was really someone from the Executive Board who received a call from the school for help, it would be impossible to break in so unguardedly.
He didn't even notice the magical aura emanating from the soul connection.
For those who temporarily pretended to be the Executive Board, Zhou Zheng and others would naturally not enter the door in a state of soul connection. Once their magic power full of evil thoughts came out, it was equivalent to revealing their identity.
Even if they are unable to recognize their dark duelists due to lack of knowledge, it is impossible to believe their official identity.
But now, the disguise was seen through by the other party in seconds, and Zhou Zheng didn't hide it. He felt that the concentration of black mist in the venue was enough to force a dark game, and immediately said, "Let's go."
The voice fell, and more than a dozen dark duelists set off together.
At the moment when the soul connection was completed, the magical breath merged with the black mist in the air.
"Magic power to protect the students."
The vice-principal roared. Although the venue was completely covered by black fog, as long as a little magic power was injected into the eyes, the visibility could be greatly improved.
As soon as the voice fell, the vice-principal immediately drove his monster, the Green Mountain King, and threw boulders in a row, trying to smash the soul barrier on the dark duelist who was in action.
Not only him, but dozens of monsters filling the hall all set out, trying to intercept the actions of those people.
The students in the auditorium have already completed their soul connection at this time, and they have summoned smaller monsters to hide, which is also a good plan for self-protection.
The soul barrier is their best protection. As long as the monsters are in chaos, unless those people destroy all the monsters, it will be difficult to threaten their soul value.
The most nervous are the ordinary students. They are not as capable of protecting themselves as the students of the dueling department. Many girls weep in a low voice because of fear, and some boys clench their fists, hating why they don't have the potential to become duelists.
Because it is a specially divided area, these ordinary students are gathered in one area, and the vast majority of teachers have already stepped forward to take protective measures.
As official duelists, they can use not only one card, but many cards.
But even so, it was hard to hide his nervousness at the moment.
There are at least a thousand ordinary students behind him, and it is very difficult to achieve perfect protection based on their strength alone.
However, those dark duelists did not intend to waste time with them at all, but seemed to find their own goals.
A dark duelist looked at the students in the front row of the audience, licked his lips, and showed a greedy smile, and then his figure seemed to melt into the darkness and turned into a black mist.
The student area of the dueling department is naturally protected by teachers, but those teachers who are staring at the dark duelists completely did not expect this move.
In the form of black mist, he instantly shrouded several students, leaving behind a dark circle of light, which disappeared together with those students.
"how is this possible?!"
The teachers were stunned, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com was shocked.
The same scene was staged one after another in the student area of the dueling department. After these people turned into black mist, there was no way to intercept them with the power of monster cards.
Not only that, even if the shrouded student has completed the soul connection in advance, it is still irresistible.
At this time, while others were rushing towards the audience, Zhou Zheng looked at the podium with a playful gaze, to be precise, several students at the podium.
Those companions were impatient and went straight to the auditorium to try their luck.
But most of the students on the podium are the so-called gifted students in this school.
Usually, such geniuses are more delicious when their souls are swallowed.
Zhou Zheng showed a cruel and expectant smile, quickened his pace, and then turned into smoke, rushing towards the podium.
"not good."
Song Mingchao's complexion changed greatly, and he pushed Lin You away from behind him in a conditioned reflex, "Hide!"
But, it's too late.
The black mist spread on the podium, and after selecting a few students, it turned into a jet-black light group.
Song Mingchao stared blankly at the pitch-black light group lingering in front of him. After a long while, he roared, and his magic power surged. He mobilized three monsters that tried their best to strengthen to the peak, and launched a furious attack on the light group.
But whether it's punching and kicking, or pouring energy.
The light clusters are all oil and salt, and they still float there quietly.
The vision in front of him was briefly pitch black, and when he saw everything clearly again, Lin You suddenly felt a chill.
cold.
This world filled with black fog looks quite cold.
Looking at the atmosphere, isn't it...
Lin You thought of something, and his face was not very good-looking.
