Chapter 16: He's a prodigy among prodigies!
"If it's not you, then who is it?"
Luo Shaofeng looked curiously at the tightly closed door, and at the same time, he naturally believed what the old abbot had said.
After all, these people don't even know what a life-suppressing item is, so they're clearly not from this line of work.
Let alone asking them to solve the bizarre energy with a peak value of 300,
They would have a hard time even dealing with something with a strange energy value of only 5.
"Never mind, let's go in and take a look."
"Also, disengage from combat." Luo Shaofeng hadn't sensed anything carefully at the stairwell, but as he approached the door, he sensed something and blurted it out in one breath.
"team leader?"
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why their captain would issue an order to disengage from combat.
"The yin energy is dissipating, and if I'm not mistaken, the peak should be declining rapidly now."
Luo Shaofeng closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surrounding atmosphere once again.
"If I'm not mistaken, the eerie creature in this room is dead; all that's left is residual yin energy." His voice was filled with horror.
"Captain, it really is!"
Lin Luoxue took out the compass in her hand, looked at the values on it, and couldn't help but say in surprise.
Upon hearing this affirmative answer, the other team members around them all breathed a sigh of relief.
They were all veterans of Bureau 749, and they knew all too well what this meant. Only when the eerie thing was completely dead would the yin energy it emitted dissipate quickly, and only then would the peak value of the compass drop.
"Knock knock knock".
Luo Shaofeng composed himself, walked to the bedroom door, knocked lightly a few times, then pushed the door open and went inside.
The scene inside the bedroom was not the bloody one I had expected, nor were there corpses scattered all over the floor. Instead, it was a luxurious and exquisite girl's bedroom with pink wallpaper, large floor-to-ceiling windows, and sunlight streaming in through the glass and onto the floor.
Chu Yahan leaned against the headboard, covered with a thin blanket, holding a water glass in her hand, sipping warm water.
Her face was slightly pale, but her eyes were clear and her breathing was steady. There was no trace of the aftereffects of being possessed by a strange entity!
Everyone who encounters a strange person will have most of their life force depleted, let alone a possessed girl.
Based on their experience, Chu Yahan should be limp and weak, half-dead, barely clinging to life!
"Who are you?"
Chu Yingxiong sat on the edge of the bed, holding his daughter's hand tightly, his face full of relief at surviving the ordeal, his eyes still a little red.
However, when Luo Shaofeng and his group walked in, he instinctively looked up and asked.
"May I ask... who dealt with the evil spirits here?"
Luo Shaofeng walked step by step to the bedside, looked at Chu Yingxiong, then at Chu Yahan, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement.
"We are from the 749th Bureau of the Ministry of State Security, specializing in handling these kinds of incidents."
Luo Shaofeng gave a brief explanation, his gaze still fixed on Chu Yahan, and asked again urgently, "Excuse me, who was the one who dealt with this strange creature?"
"My classmate."
Chu Yahan stopped drinking water, glanced at Luo Shaofeng, then at the group of people standing at the door, and spoke softly, slowly uttering three words.
"classmate???"
Luo Shaofeng's pupils shrank instantly, as if he had heard something unbelievable, and he quickly took a step forward.
"May I ask how old your classmate is this year?"
Luo Shaofeng asked in surprise.
"18 years old, just like me, a student in Class 4, Grade 12 at Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School."
Chu Yahan glanced at him with a hint of curiosity, as if she found the question rather strange, but she still answered it anyway.
"Eighteen years old!!!"
Upon hearing those three words, all the Guoan players in the bedroom were stunned. They stood there as if struck by lightning, their faces filled with utter disbelief.
"Clang!"
The compass in Lin Luoxue's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and she forgot to pick it up.
At 18 years old, the age of coming of age, a high school senior can solve the bizarre phenomenon of a peak value of 300!
This is absolutely insane, unbelievable!
You should know that in their 749th division, those who can single-handedly solve the bizarre situations with a peak of 200 are all top-notch players in the division. The youngest of them is 35 years old and is a veteran who has been immersed in this industry for more than ten years.
At the age of 18, let alone solving the bizarre phenomenon of a 300 peak value, even facing the bizarre phenomenon of a 100 peak value without faltering is considered exceptionally gifted and one in a million.
How could an 18-year-old high school student possibly do something like this?
The group's heads were buzzing, their minds were in turmoil, and only one thought was echoing wildly in their minds:
monster!
This is absolutely a monster!
He's a prodigy among prodigies!
Is this really something a human can do?
"Eighteen years old."
Luo Shaofeng's heart pounded wildly, and an unprecedented emotion surged through him.
He has been in this industry for over 20 years and has seen countless talented people, but he has never seen such an outrageous talent.
He can solve the strange phenomenon of a peak value of 300 at the age of 18. What will he be like when he grows up?
This person absolutely must be recruited into Bureau 749! Absolutely!
We must bring him in, no matter the cost!
Luo Shaofeng composed himself, suppressing the surging excitement in his heart, and looked at Chu Yahan again, asking, "What kind of life-suppressing object did your classmate use back then? Was it a century-old piece of lightning-struck wood passed down through generations, or a thousand-year-old peach wood, or some other strange object?"
"What is a 'life-threatening object'? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Chu Yahan looked at him blankly, blinked, and asked like a curious child.
"It's a rare object, or in layman's terms, a magical artifact."
Luo Shaofeng quickly explained, then realized that his statement was still difficult to understand, and added again:
"These are the items he uses to deal with evil spirits. No matter what they are, even a talisman or a sword is considered a rare item."
"My classmate didn't bring anything, he came empty-handed. He came in, said a few words, and then... and then it was resolved." Chu Yahan shook her head and said with certainty.
"hiss!"
"Hiss!"
"..." Everyone in the room gasped in unison, the sound of their gasps particularly clear and distinct in the quiet bedroom.
Several people even subconsciously bit their tongues, wincing in pain, before confirming that they were not dreaming or hallucinating.
But if it weren't a dream, or a problem with my ears,
All the words they had just heard, when put together, deeply shocked them.
Empty handed!
I didn't take any life-saving items!
We only exchanged a few words!
That solved the strange phenomenon of the 300 peak value!
They could understand all the individual words, but why couldn't they understand them when they were put together?
What is a talisman that brings death?
It is the lifeblood of these people in Bureau 749, the only source of their confidence to face the bizarre.
When faced with the bizarre, a person's life is as fragile as a thin sheet of paper.
The bizarre can kill with ease. Even the strongest and most resilient man cannot survive more than three breaths in the face of the bizarre before his life force is drained and he becomes a corpse.
Only by adding weight to one's fate can one stand firm in the face of the supernatural; this is the origin of the "life-suppressing object."
Good amulets can sometimes weaken the negative energy of evil spirits.
Some can enhance one's life force.
Some can set up formations and use the mutual generation and restraint of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements to trap evil spirits.
