Anomaly Investigation Bureau

Anomaly Investigation Bureau

The news would be released in half an hour. In other words, within half an hour, these people would meet unnatural deaths—including him!

But just then.

A commotion rose from outside the classroom.

Their homeroom teacher, Liu Dichen, could be heard saying cheerfully outside, "Of course we'll cooperate. We'll definitely cooperate. I'll take you in right away."

After saying that, Liu Dichen walked in, followed by a Man in Black.

The Man in Black wore a black robe that concealed his face. His features were impossible to see, but the moment he entered the classroom, everyone felt waves of chilling wind!

When Chen Yu saw the man, he sensed a strange, indistinct aura within him.

Under the astonished gazes of all the students, Liu Dichen said, "Students, this is Uncle Luo Mu. The reason I gathered you here for class so late tonight is because Uncle Luo wants to investigate something."

As soon as he said that, quite a few students became dissatisfied.

"What is he investigating?"

"Yeah, it's almost bedtime."

Hearing this, Liu Dichen rebuked them, "This is no trivial matter. None of you may conceal anything! Tell me, has anyone had anything unusual appear on their phone?"

"Unusual? What kind of unusual?"

"My phone went missing a few days ago. Does that count as unusual?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about phones?"

"Something's off. This Man in Black isn't here to check for porn, is he? I need to hurry up and delete all the websites and everything in my browser..."

Everyone began speculating, while some students had already taken out their phones and secretly started deleting things.

Chen Yu's expression suddenly darkened upon hearing that.

Judging by everyone's reactions, he was probably the only person in the entire class whose phone had truly experienced anything unusual!

However, he did not step forward, nor did he take out his phone.

Chen Yu's case was not unique.

Anomalies had descended across the globe.

Some people had survived the Anomaly Game.

Others had fallen into eternal slumber because of it.

The large number of anomalous incidents had drawn the authorities' attention.

Within hours, the authorities had gathered all their elites and established the Anomaly Investigation Bureau.

All policies were being swiftly implemented.

The Anomaly Investigation Bureau had already begun its operations.

Luo Mu's eyes beneath the black robe were as deep as an abyssal sea as they swept across every student in the classroom.

In the end, his gaze settled on Chen Yu, who was wearing sunglasses.

Wearing sunglasses to class in the middle of the night—if Luo Mu failed to notice that, he might as well have been blind.

He stepped forward and directly asked Chen Yu, "Student, what's wrong? Why are you wearing sunglasses at night?"

His voice was slightly hoarse, but full of vigor.

Chen Yu froze for a moment, then casually made up an excuse. "It's like this. A few days ago, my eyes were hit by strong light. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said I couldn't let bright light hurt my eyes, so he prescribed me a pair of sunglasses."

"Is that so?"

Luo Mu's gaze was profound.

"Yes. Would you like to take a look? My eyes haven't fully recovered yet, though."

As he spoke, Chen Yu stood up and prepared to remove his sunglasses.

"No need."

Luo Mu withdrew his gaze and said, "Since you can't be exposed to light, focus on recovering first. Don't let it affect your studies."

Chen Yu nodded and sat back down.

Who said reading The Art of War was useless?

Wasn't it useful right now?

Luo Mu turned to the other students and said, "It's good that none of your phones have shown any abnormalities. If anything does appear, you must inform me immediately. Otherwise, it will be extremely dangerous.

"Also, a reminder: Huaxia has been rather unsettled lately. If you are walking alone at night and hear the sound of a cleaver chopping meat nearby,

"Do not panic, do not scream, and do not get curious. Cover your ears and run immediately, then call my number."

As he spoke, he wrote his phone number on the blackboard.

He did not reveal the matter of anomalies because the government was not yet allowing ordinary citizens to know.

Everyone stared at one another in confusion.

What was going on?

After speaking, Luo Mu prepared to leave. But when he reached the classroom door, he suddenly stopped and added, "Oh, and if anything strange happens around you, call me immediately as well."

"Mr. Luo, how about coming to my office for some tea?"

Liu Dichen led Luo Mu away with a smile.

"No need," Luo Mu replied coldly.

He made a full round of the school, but found nothing. Left with no choice, he departed.

The instant he stepped outside the school.

Ding ding ding.

His phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw blood-red words dripping with blood on the screen.

The face beneath his black robe was filled with shock and fear when he saw them.

[You may not know what you just encountered.]

[You encountered a terrifying ten-star high-level anomaly. However, it seems that the high-level anomaly did not want your worthless life.]

[You are very lucky, because you escaped disaster.]

[Because you did not know, you were allowed to survive.]

[At the same time, it is quite a pity. Since this high-level anomaly has no hostility toward you for now, you missed an opportunity to become its bootlicker.]

Luo Mu's body trembled, and he nearly dropped his phone. He turned back to look at the pitch-black campus.

There was actually a ten-star high-level anomaly here!?

It.

Where was it?

Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief. Although he did not know what Luo Mu did,

his instincts told him that he could not let Luo Mu know he possessed the Time Ghost Eye.

At the same time, his eyes swept over the students. They were all whispering among themselves, but one student stood out in particular.

She was a female student with an exceptionally pretty appearance. She was Riverside's school beauty and the dream girl of countless male students.

However, a frosty pallor had spread across her already fair face, making her look even paler. Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and she looked nervous.

She was completely different from the other students, who were chatting among themselves.

"Who is this Man in Black? Even Liu Dichen, who's usually as fierce as a demon, was so respectful toward him?"

"Yeah, what was all that stuff he said? The sound of chopping meat? Strange things? He made it sound so mysterious."

"It was fine before you mentioned it, but now I've remembered something. After evening self-study that day, I went for a walk around the track with my girlfriend.

"On the way back, I saw a black shadow dart across the roadside."

"That was probably a dog, wasn't it?"

"No way. I clearly saw a person covered in long black hair! But it vanished in the blink of an eye. I asked my girlfriend, but she said she didn't see anything."

"Now that you mention it, I've encountered something strange too. These past two days, whenever I sleep, I keep dreaming about a person in white standing beside my bed, staring at me with wide-open eyes while I sleep. They don't do anything else, just keep staring at me expressionlessly."

"That's just a dream."

"I don't think it's that simple... When I suddenly opened my eyes, the person in white was gone. Once, I deliberately kept my eyes closed and reached out to feel around. I actually touched something and screamed in fright, but when I opened my eyes, there was nothing there again."

"The other day, when I was using the bathroom, I heard someone knocking on the door. I told them I was taking a shit, but they kept knocking. But... I didn't see any feet under the bathroom stall door!"

"Are you all making this up?"

The students broke into a heated discussion.
