The muzzle of the cold gun was precisely aimed at Qin Feng's forehead. The faint blue glow emanating from the gun body seemed to come from another world, carrying a chill that could freeze the soul.

Qin Feng's body instantly stiffened, his pupils reflecting the woman's icy-cold face opposite him.

The Scissors of Truth in his hand felt incredibly heavy at this moment, becoming the most damning piece of evidence.

"Drop your weapon, hands behind your head, and squat!" Shen Bingyue's voice was devoid of emotion, but her hand holding the gun was as steady as a rock.

Several team members behind her quickly fanned out, their tactical movements fluid and seamless.

One person immediately went to check on Liu Yan's condition on the ground, while another held a tablet-like instrument, scanning every corner of the room.

"Report, Captain Shen, the target's vital signs are stable, just in shock due to mental exhaustion."

"Report, Captain Shen, the resentment core of the E-class Anomaly 'The Thing Under the Bed' has dissipated, and the energy field is weakening... Wait, what is this smell in the room... Ugh! What is that smell?"

The reporting team member hadn't finished before their tone suddenly changed, the end of their sentence even carrying a slight tremor of retching.

A strange odor, a mixture of burnt, rotten, and a highly penetrating scent of mint and camphor, was wantonly filling the entire room. Interspersed within it was a faint... smell of urine.

The smell was incredibly potent, as if it had a will of its own, desperately trying to burrow into people's nostrils.

Hiss, it's overwhelming!

Even Shen Bingyue, who had maintained a poker face, couldn't help but slightly twitch her delicate nose, her beautiful brows furrowing into a knot.

Qin Feng's eyes darted, and his face immediately showed a look of terror and helplessness.

With a "clang," he dropped the giant scissors in his hand. The scissors transformed into a black light in mid-air and disappeared into his right arm.

This scene made all the Special Cases Department team members' pupils contract.

"A Cursed Item!"

"This kid actually possesses a Cursed Item!"

In their impression, those who could perfectly contain and use a Cursed Item were at least experts like Captain Shen, who were at the "Wenyan Realm."

The team members all looked at Qin Feng, their guns held even tighter.

"Don't... don't shoot! I'm the victim!"

Qin Feng raised his hands high, his voice trembling with just the right amount of quaver, and slowly squatted down. "Officer... comrade? I was just acting in self-defense!"

His eyes flickered towards the bedroom door, where an empty mineral water bottle lay forlornly.

A team member wearing glasses, who looked refined and scholarly, walked over to collect the evidence. As he bent down, an incredibly pungent smell shot straight to the crown of his head.

"Holy crap! Cough! Cough, cough, cough..." The team member covered his nose and retreated three steps, his expression like he had just swallowed a fly that had been expired for three days. Leaning against the wall, he coughed violently. "Captain Shen... this bottle... it seems to be a mixture of medicated oil and... urine?"

As soon as this was said, the entire room fell into a deathly silence, and even the air seemed to freeze.

All the Special Cases Department team members' gazes, filled with the shock of encountering a prehistoric creature, focused on Qin Feng, who was squatting on the ground.

Using... urine... to exorcise ghosts?

And with medicated oil added?!

What kind of crooked path is this!

Where did this rogue Anomalous Human crawl out from?

It's not in the Special Cases Department action manual!

"Brother."

A young team member finally couldn't help but speak, his tone filled with reverence and confusion. "Your method... isn't it a bit too down-to-earth?

Aren't the usual ghost-exorcising equipment holy water, talismans, peach wood swords, crosses, and psionic weapons?"

"I don't have any ghost-exorcising equipment," Qin Feng said with a pained expression. "I'm just a poor student who delivers takeout. How would I know about those things."

"Delivers takeout?" Another tall team member's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands suddenly. "I remember now! You were the one at the Fourth Psychiatric Hospital yesterday who used hairspray, right?!"

Qin Feng's expression froze.

"No wonder! I was wondering where I smelled that familiar cheap chemical fragrance!" The tall team member realized. "I thought it was some new chemical demon-repelling agent, but it turns out it was a hair product!"

"Shut up," Shen Bingyue coldly interrupted the team members' chatter, but the muscles around her eyes had already begun to twitch uncontrollably.

Hairspray, medicated oil, urine... This man was practically embodying the phrase "demon-exorcising cost-effectiveness" with his life.

"Take him back for a statement and hear the full story." Shen Bingyue's voice held a hint of exhaustion that she herself hadn't noticed.

"Wait, I can explain it right here!" Qin Feng panicked; he didn't want to be taken in for questioning.

"My landlady, Sister Liu, seemed a bit unusual today, and combined with my experience last night, I felt something was wrong.

I read some unofficial histories and miscellaneous talks in the school library, which said that virgin boy's urine could ward off evil spirits. I was just trying anything to see if it would work..."

He spoke haltingly, but he managed to explain.

This explanation was outrageous, but combined with the "divine water" in the bottle at the scene, it was inexplicably logical.

"Virgin boy's urine?"

The young team member beside him couldn't help but mutter softly, his gaze towards Qin Feng changing.

"Is this treasure still around these days?"

Qin Feng's face grew even redder, his head bowed lower. "I, I'm still studying, you know. Busy with school, no time for dating..."

The male team members exchanged glances. Some even secretly gave Qin Feng a thumbs-up.

What a guy. Not only is his gameplay amazing, but his personal life is also this "pure."

Shen Bingyue's sharp gaze swept over him, like a scalpel attempting to dissect all his disguises.

But all Qin Feng showed at this moment was the weakness of someone who had narrowly escaped death and the fear of having a gun pointed at him. He appeared harmless.

An ordinary person, without any training, had managed to kill an E-class Anomaly twice when facing a deadly threat.

This wasn't luck; it was talent.

A kind of genius that even she, a proud prodigy from a prestigious lineage, found troublesome and incomprehensible.

If such a person wasn't guided and controlled, they would either burn themselves to ashes in a future incident or become a huge risk, unstable and outside the bounds of order, even more so than an Anomaly.

"Captain, should we recruit him?" The bespectacled team member recovered and suggested, pushing up his glasses.

"Yeah," someone chimed in from the side, "our operations manual doesn't have a chapter on 'The Role of Virgin Boy's Urine in Demon Exorcism Practice'."

Shen Bingyue frowned, and the team members immediately fell silent.

She waved her hand, signaling the others to secure the scene.

"We are not ordinary police officers," Shen Bingyue said, putting away her gun. Her voice remained cool, but the hostility had dissipated. "You can call us the Special Cases Department, or 'SAC' for short."

Here it comes. Qin Feng's heart stirred, but he maintained a look of bewilderment. "SAC? What's that for?"

"What you experienced with the 'Slit-Mouthed Woman' and 'The Thing Under the Bed,' we call them 'Anomalies.' They are not fictional but real threats."

Shen Bingyue explained concisely, "And SAC is the secret department the country uses to handle these supernatural events."

Her words were like a key, opening a new world for Qin Feng.

Even with his system, hearing confirmation from an "official" source sent his heart racing.

"So... ghosts are real in this world?" Qin Feng continued his act, playing the role of an ordinary person whose worldview had been shattered.

"More than you can imagine."

Shen Bingyue looked at him and finally revealed her purpose. "Qin Feng, you are a person with great potential, a natural 'Anomalous Human.' But your methods are too crude and too dangerous, walking the edge of the rules, and you could easily get yourself burned at any moment."

She paused, her sapphire eyes reflecting Qin Feng's slightly bewildered face.

"On behalf of the Donghai City Special Cases Department, I officially extend an invitation to you."

"Join us and become an intern investigator first."

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat. His face showed the perfect amount of ecstatic joy, but it quickly turned into a hint of hesitation.

He didn't agree immediately. Instead, he rubbed his hands together and asked in a slightly timid yet curious tone:

"Um... Leader, what are the benefits of joining you? For example, is the salary high? Do you provide meals? Is there social insurance and housing fund?"

As his words fell, the entire room fell into an eerie silence once more.
