Building Confidence

"No way, you're such a tough guy, a water ghost?"

Lu Bai had already used his Coin Sword to poke several holes in the Drowned Ghost's body.

Even though the Drowned Ghost was almost completely exhausted, it still didn't reveal a single piece of information.

"Uh... Master Lu?"

Just as Lu Bai was about to finish off the Drowned Ghost, Captain Mao finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "As you know, our Action Department hasn't caught any living anomalies yet. Do you... have any ideas?"

"Maybe next time, this thing doesn't even have a physical form."

As Lu Bai spoke, he drew talismans on the Drowned Ghost.

After all, when it comes to dealing with strange things, only Lu Bai is a professional, so Captain Mao naturally wouldn't refute that.

Observer Chen didn't even offer any suggestions, and dutifully performed his duties as an observer throughout the entire process.

A moment later, Lu Bai chanted an incantation, and the patterns drawn on the Drowned Ghost's body emitted a warm golden light.

With a piercing scream, the Drowned Ghost turned into a wisp of smoke, and the stench that filled the security room began to dissipate.

Once the Drowned Ghost was dealt with, the surrounding electronic devices immediately returned to normal operation.

"Sizzle~"

"Hello! Hello! Please respond if you receive this!"

Upon hearing the radio, Captain Mao immediately pressed the intercom button. "I can hear you."

"Communication was interrupted just now. Has anything strange happened?"

"Sequence 81 appeared and has been dealt with by Master Lu. Has anything happened on your end?"

"Everything is normal outside of school..."

After asking questions for a while, Captain Mao notified the Action Department to enter the scene.

The Action Department's meeting room.

Upon learning that Lu Bai had successfully dealt with the Drowned Ghost, cheers erupted in the hall.

"It's been dealt with? So quickly?!"

"Old Wang, pinch me, I think I'm hallucinating."

"That's great! As long as Master Lu is here, there's nothing to fear from the strange occurrences."

"Minister Zhang, when can we invite Lu Bai to visit Beichuan City? It's right next to Keshanshi City anyway."

Everyone was excited, and the council chamber was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

In the past, operations involving dealing with the supernatural have always resulted in casualties, and have never been able to successfully eliminate the supernatural.

Now that we have someone like Lu Bai who is capable of dealing with strange beings, it's a great thing from any perspective.

The elderly man, referred to as Minister Zhang, was wearing a sharp suit.

"Once might be a coincidence, but twice, three times, proves that our Master Lu truly has real skills."

Minister Zhang abruptly stood up, his raised right hand trembling slightly. "Have the propaganda department prepare to notify the public as quickly as possible..."

He changed the subject halfway through his sentence and asked, "Who is Master Lu's observer right now?"

The director of the Lu Bai Service and Research Guarantee Bureau was a bald man with a rather comical appearance.

He quickly stood up. "Minister Zhang, it's observer number 73."

Minister Zhang, dressed in military uniform, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Contact Observer No. 73 and retrieve his footage from the scene..."

Minister Zhang hesitated for a moment, but finally decided, "Let's do a live broadcast. The public has been waiting for this day for far too long."

Anyway, the strange occurrence has been dealt with, so there's no need to worry about any unexpected events.

Even if this kind of wrap-up work isn't exciting enough, it can definitely greatly satisfy the public's sense of security.

With some time to go before the Action Department arrived, Lu Bai decided to walk out of the security room and scan the area from the doorway.

He stroked his chin and suddenly said, "Have the operatives wait a moment. I suspect there's more than one anomaly in this school."

Captain Mao paused for a moment, holding the walkie-talkie.

Although somewhat confused, they still decisively relayed the message via walkie-talkie.

After he finished speaking, he leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Master Lu, have you discovered any more strange traces?"

Lu Bai stared at a Teaching Building not far away, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

In fact, he didn't see anything strange, but rather a fleeting glimpse of artistic lettering on the window of a classroom on the second floor.

That's the title of a deathmatch fighter.

It's important to understand that each Deathmatcher's title, regardless of its star rating or its effects, is unique.

In short, they will all be exceptionally eye-catching in terms of visual appeal.

It's like playing a low-quality web game; the characters might be hard to see, but the titles must be clearly displayed.

Especially on such a pitch-black night, the various colored titles are like bright guiding lights in the eyes of deathmatch fighters.

Lu Bai nodded. "I need to go check on things; I might not be able to look after you for a while."

As he spoke, he strode straight toward the Teaching Building.

Captain Mao and Observer Chen, who were standing behind him, exchanged a glance, both of them sensing a bit of tension.

However, without much hesitation, the two silently followed in Lu Bai's footsteps.

None of the three spoke; the only sound was the faint echo of their footsteps.

As he approached the entrance to the Teaching Building, before he had even taken two steps up the stairs, Lu Bai suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Captain Mao and Observer Chen cautiously approached Lu Bai from behind.

Captain Mao glanced around before lowering his voice and asking, "Master Lu? What's wrong?"

Observer Chen froze, his expression clearly showing his dilemma.

He recently received instructions from his superiors, the content of which was not difficult.

After all, he's a professional. Whether it's recording or live streaming, the essence of what he needs to do is still the same. Explanations and such are handled by other people.

The problem is that this was originally intended to be the follow-up work for the live broadcast Action Department.

But now the situation has changed, and he's unsure whether he should continue filming.

The higher-ups are also hesitant right now.

Because they greatly underestimated the public's enthusiasm, the live stream's popularity soared to unprecedented heights.

Don't forget, due to the strange occurrences, people have developed the habit of staying at home after dark, forcing everyone to leave the streets empty.

In the past, when dealing with the supernatural, the Action Department never broadcast live, and had never even considered this method.

This is the first time ever that a live stream has been broadcast about bizarre things.

Therefore, when the Action Department started the live broadcast at this time, even without prior announcement, the public could still be informed of each other.

The moment the live stream started, tens of millions of viewers flooded in, and all the hundreds of pre-prepared lines were completely full, requiring more to be added.

In this situation, if there is a suspicion of something strange happening, the live stream should be shut down.

Forget about boosting public confidence; it would be good if they weren't completely crushed.

Now that things have come to this, Minister Zhang can only accept his bad luck.

"Be prepared. If things go wrong, immediately cut off the live stream."
