Blue Star.
Pingjiang City.
Sunlight bathed the city. Citizens hurried about for their livelihoods, while pedestrians and vehicles moved along the streets in orderly streams. It was as though everything remained no different from before, just like an ordinary street scene from before the revival of spiritual energy.
The world as ordinary people saw it was often far from the truth. Long consumed by the toil of supporting their families, they had little energy to spare for anything else. Even if terrifying dangers existed, someone would naturally handle them. Over time, they had grown accustomed to life as it was now. Other than needing to be doubly careful at night, daytime was no different.
As for the terrifying beast tide outside the city some days ago, almost no one knew about it.
All news of it had long since been sealed off by the Demon Hunting Department.
The dangers and suffering of this world were all borne by the Demon Hunting Department. Protecting the peaceful lives of the citizens was their sworn duty.
That mysterious organization was like a guardian deity, silently protecting Pingjiang City's last vestige of peace.
However.
Nearly half a month had passed, yet the Demon Hunting Department had made no further moves.
Though the sun shone brightly today, the Investigation Bureau headquarters in the eastern district was steeped in a gloomy atmosphere. Even the beautiful captain, Xu Rong, had lost her usual crisp efficiency when she knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock knock!"
After hesitating several times, she finally knocked on the Captain General's office door.
A deep voice came from within.
"Come in."
Xu Rong slowly pushed open the door and quietly stepped into the office.
Looking over anxiously, she saw the Captain General standing before the window with his hands clasped behind his back.
