Videos and photos of Luo Dian splitting a building in two with a knife have gone viral online, with officials temporarily using the excuse of "making a movie" to cover up the facts.
Furthermore, with official confirmation, a certain director has indeed planned to prepare such a film and even intends to include the scene of Luo Dian chopping down the building in the film, thus forming a logical loop that can deceive most people.
The only problem is that the videos and photos of Luo Dian circulating online cannot be deleted from their original source.
The account that posts videos and photos is like a ghost on the internet, always hanging there, and the platform can't do anything about it.
Fortunately, the hype surrounding this matter has subsided for the time being.
Inside the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, Feng Qian was working overtime in his office.
Even when he's not on duty, he's still very busy, Investigation Bureau is responsible for handling supernatural events and anomalies across the country.
The Investigation Bureau receives numerous reports of suspected paranormal events every day, but over 90% of these reports are false alarms. Others are deliberately created phenomena or unusual weather events...
After layers of screening, the number of cases that can truly be identified as supernatural events is extremely small.
"The eerie hot pot restaurant at the foot of Xuanxiao Temple, the ghost taxi that only appears at midnight..."
Feng Qian looked at the two case reports with a headache.
The "Midnight Taxi" claim is still uncertain. The Investigation Bureau sent officers to the city and deliberately traveled at midnight as a sting operation, but they have yet to encounter the ghost taxi.
However, the city's recent missing persons rate has indeed increased dramatically.
The "mysterious hot pot restaurant" was discovered because of previous supernatural events at Xuanxiao Temple, which had been under close surveillance by the Investigation Bureau. The restaurant, which only allowed entry and no exit, was quickly identified, and it has now been confirmed that supernatural events did indeed occur there.
The Investigation Bureau dispatched investigators to the hot pot restaurant three times to conduct in-depth investigations; however, none of the people who entered the restaurant ever came out.
Through the fogged-up glass, one could vaguely see that the investigators seemed to be still alive. They were eating hot pot in the restaurant from time to time and occasionally doing something strange, but they didn't come out. Their communication devices were also cut off, so they couldn't be contacted.
Feng Qian didn't know how to handle the hot pot restaurant incident either. He submitted a report, hoping to request the deployment of superhumans from the Investigation Bureau to try and resolve the issue.
If ordinary people can't get out of a hot pot restaurant, what about those with superhuman abilities?
However, his application was rejected without hesitation.
To date, the Investigation Bureau has only one living superhuman who is willing to cooperate with the Investigation Bureau in various experiments, making him invaluable.
A strange hot pot restaurant is indeed difficult to deal with, but sealing off the surrounding area and preventing people from entering the restaurant can be considered a solution.
But if the only surviving superhuman from the Investigation Bureau enters the hot pot restaurant and never comes out again, the loss would be enormous.
Feng Qian understood this principle, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart. With great power comes great responsibility. As the only superhuman in the Investigation Bureau, Zhang Suyuan should shoulder the heavy responsibility on his shoulders instead of hiding in the back and receiving the highest level of protection.
"If I became a superhuman... hehe~" Feng Qian couldn't help but imagine himself charging into battle on the front lines.
In fact, many people in the Investigation Bureau shared similar thoughts with Feng Qian. Many felt that keeping Zhang Suyuan, the only superhuman, in the laboratory without participating in any missions was a waste of resources.
They had all fantasized about what it would be like to have extraordinary powers, especially the young people.
However, the truth about superhumans is a top-secret matter, known only to those at the very top. Within the Investigation Bureau, members of Feng Qian's rank are simply not qualified to know.
Experts have long since summarized all the supernatural events that have occurred in China. So far, the extraordinary powers displayed in the cases that have been confirmed as supernatural events in China are more inclined to be ghostly and evil.
In a more fashionable way online, they all seem like demonic cultivators.
The same applies to the few recorded superhumans to date. Their superhuman abilities come at a price; their bodies and personalities have changed to some extent. Their bodies are half-dead, their personalities have become more ruthless, and they occasionally show signs of losing control.
The Investigation Bureau has the remains of a deceased superhuman, Zhao Chuxia, and a living superhuman, Zhang Suyuan. Bai Jingjing is also a superhuman, but she is elusive and too dangerous, so the Investigation Bureau does not dare to take coercive measures against her.
Besides these three people, the Investigation Bureau has now identified a superhuman Chen Zhanji. This person had a conflict with Zhang Suyuan because of his sense of justice. He is not very strong, but he can sneak around in the shadows.
The Investigation Bureau has not yet made formal contact with Chen Zhanji, but is instead observing him covertly.
Some experts have speculated that the emergence of supernatural powers may be related to ancient legends; after all, didn't America have beings claiming to be gods?
But that country is less than 300 years old; what extraordinary foundation could it possibly have?
Jiang Jianwei has been in a bad state lately. I don't know why, but her sleep quality has been extremely poor these past few days.
Although I can fall asleep as soon as I lie down every day, I feel unusually tired when I wake up, as if I haven't rested all night. I have dark circles under my eyes that could make me look like a national treasure.
That night, she lay in bed as usual, expecting to fall asleep the moment her head hit the pillow, just like before.
But she didn't fall asleep immediately today. Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound, and her expression became dazed, as if she were half asleep and half awake.
In her hazy state, she vaguely saw a person standing by her bed, staring at her without moving.
"Mom, I'm going to sleep a little longer..."
In an instant, Jiang Jianwei felt as if she had returned to her student days, when her mother urged her to get up from her lazy sleep.
This feeling of warmth lasted only a moment before I suddenly realized that I was no longer a student and lived alone in a rented room. How could there possibly be anyone else by my bedside!
Has a second person entered the room?
Jiang Jianwei was startled awake. Various tragic cases of women living alone being murdered flashed through her mind. However, when she opened her eyes, there was no one by the bed.
"Ugh, I scared myself. I was probably having a nightmare..."
Jiang Jianwei breathed a sigh of relief. Her sleepiness vanished, and the urge to urinate struck. She got up, slipped on her slippers, and headed to the bathroom.
