Visiting the Organization's Squad
"But precisely because the organization values you, your tasks are also very heavy. Of the four other people we selected to go in this time, none of them are the most important; the important ones are you."
"Whatever the organization intends to do, you must do your best to gather as much information as possible, as this is a crucial basis for our assessment of the organization's danger."
"For the remaining four candidates, we plan to send most of you younger generation members. Elder Ju said that one of the older folks is enough to lead the way."
Tao Yun nodded. "The future of the world belongs to you young people. All we can do is firmly safeguard the world as it is now before you grow up."
Qin Rang replied earnestly, "Don't worry, we understand."
"Go back and rest now. We can talk about anything else when you get back. You've all worked hard."
"Good."
When the Calamity Crossing Squad went back to rest, Lin Nieran also arrived in the Boundless Land.
He had no intention of meeting with them, and the organization's "Master" would not meet with them at this time either.
He described the meeting as "a friendly exchange."
The interaction between the two worlds, and the belief in the existence of the Boundless Land itself, already explain a great deal.
After activating and opening everything, Lin Nieran left Bai Yang and the other cards behind, and went back to open his shop.
At 1:50 PM, ten minutes before the agreed time with the organization, the entire Calamity Crossing Squad had arrived.
Having dealt with the organization so many times, the group was all secretly looking forward to it; it would be a lie to say they weren't curious.
Besides them, three other young people were also standing there, ready to set off.
They were also acquaintances: Tang Pin from the Tang Family, Bai Zhong from the Bai Family who helped in Yin White City this time (Bai Ao's older brother), and Luo Jiayu from the Luo Family.
Tang Pin goes without saying, and Bai Zhong helped them a lot in the Instance this time. Only Luo Jiayu was someone they were meeting for the first time.
The Luo Family lives in Luohai City. There are relatively few Residential Zone in Luohai City; most of them are Weird Zone people live alongside the supernatural year-round.
Luohai City is located by the sea, and many of the strange occurrences are related to water. In addition, the people of the city are very low-key and do not often interact with others, which makes the city quite mysterious.
However, everyone in Luohai City is capable of killing supernatural beings, so although that area was designated as Weird Zone a long time ago, it has not spread over the years.
Luo Jiayu has Long Hair, light blue hair, with cool, flowing water droplets in it. Her eyes are light in color, her skin is fair and smooth, and she has a translucent, watery quality about her.
"You look like Mermaid from legends," Mi Chuchu said, staring at her slightly pointed ears, then belatedly realized that Luo Jiayu wasn't much shorter than her.
Luo Jiayu pursed her lips shyly, touched the seashell ring on her ring finger, and whispered, "My Weird Object can indeed turn me into Mermaid."
"What?"
Everyone was hearing about this ability for the first time and cast curious glances at her, almost asking if she could transform right now.
"Not now. There isn't enough water here. Our Weird Object need to be used in conjunction with the area and the weather, which is why we don't often leave Sea City."
Despite the glaring eyes of the crowd Luo Jiayu quickly explained, "Elder Ju told me that the organization has a way to overcome this limitation, so our Family Clan sent me."
"Every Family Clan has its own unique Weird Object abilities. When Elder Ju said that, I didn't completely believe it..." Sheng Qingqiao tilted her head and sighed to An Ying.
An Ying glanced at the flute in Tang Pin's hand, then at Luo Jiayu's hair, and finally at Tao Yuan, nodding earnestly in agreement.
These Family Clan each possess unique abilities, and it's no wonder that even a powerful Authorities with numerous Weird Object needs to rely on the organization's capabilities to suppress them peacefully.
"Is everyone here? Looks like this old man is a bit late." An elderly man pushed open the door and walked in, his voice booming.
He had short, graying hair, and a long mustache that slid down his chin. He carried a wooden cane, and even with the cane, he lagged behind him a distance as he walked briskly.
"I rushed over as soon as I received the message, and I've finally arrived. I hope I didn't keep you up too much time."
"Alright, Elder Min, enough with the nonsense." Elder Ju slowly followed behind him and said with a smile.
The person who strode in was the branch manager sent by the Authorities from Luanzhou City. He held the same position as Elder Ju, but his personality was like that of an old man, more lively than his peers.
Elder Min laughed, "When you get old, it's easy to get excited when you see young people. Kids, you all know me, right? And I know you all too, haha, no need for introductions!"
"Elder Min," the younger generation greeted him.
Elder Ju, "Bring your recording equipment. Once inside, talk less and listen more. Try not to cause any conflict with the organization, understand?"
"Don't worry, if the organization tries to hold you captive, we'll do whatever it takes to get you out."
The group nodded emphatically; the fact that the Authorities had arranged for Elder Min to accompany them already indicated the importance the Authorities on the matter.
Like Elder Min, Elder Ju is one of the pillars of the Authorities and one of the people who have been working hard since the very beginning of the establishment of Authorities base. The wealth they possess is far beyond what a few S-Rank individuals can simply compare to.
"Take care." Elder Ju patted Elder Min on the shoulder.
"Hey, don't be so tense. It's all for humanity, why make it so serious? Maybe I'll even benefit from going there."
As they were talking, it was two o'clock, and the card in Qin Rang's hand emitted a silver halo.
The people holding the cards activated their energy, and the cards flew through the air, extending into a silver rectangular doorway. Outside the doorway was an unfamiliar world.
"Wow." Tang Pin raised her head high and exclaimed in amazement along with Luo Jiayu, as if they had never seen anything like it before.
"Go ahead," said Elder Ju, stepping back to give them his place.
Elder Min took the lead and stepped in first. The others followed suit.
The silver door frame abruptly vanished into thin air after everyone had entered, and several cards dissipated as energy.
An apprehension crossed Elder Ju's brow. He said to the few Purger guarding the area, "Report any unusual activity immediately."
"Yes."
Elder Ju left the room and went to the room next door.
Hundreds of experts and important figures, urgently dispatched by the Authorities and able to arrive within three days, were already seated here. On the screen in front of them, cameras simultaneously filmed ten individuals, the footage playing on ten identical screens.
On the screen, Qin Rang and his group had already entered that unfamiliar place.
The gentle breeze blowing in their faces made everyone instinctively hold their breath and look up at the boundless sky.
