The call ended.
Shen Heng looked down at the people who had encountered the Calamity Beast this time.
This is a short-haired girl with tear stains still on her face.
She seemed still reeling from the Calamity Beast attack, staring blankly at herself.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Shen Heng asked.
"No, it's nothing!" Lin Xiaoyu came to her senses and subconsciously shook her head.
She braced herself with her hands on the ground, trying to lift herself up.
But immediately, a piercing pain shot through my ankle.
Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but gasp and sat back down on the ground.
Shen Heng squatted down and handed the girl her phone, while his gaze fell on her swollen foot, which was curled up and suspended in mid-air.
"You've twisted your ankle. Sit here for a bit; medical staff will be here shortly so you can get it checked out."
"Sigh, okay, okay!" Lin Xiaoyu reluctantly took the phone.
After confirming that the girl's injuries were not serious, Shen Heng stood up and waited where he was.
He couldn't leave yet; he still needed to send the girl away and ensure that the Calamity Beast's corpse was taken away by the Logistics Department.
Lin Xiaoyu endured the pain and sat there, gently inhaling the cold air as she turned to look at the young man standing beside her.
He stood quietly to one side, letting the night wind flutter the hem of his clothes.
"Hello!" Lin Xiaoyu said softly.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Shen Heng turned his head and looked at him with some confusion.
"No, no!" Lin Xiaoyu shook her head. "I wanted to ask, are you from the Supervision Bureau?"
"What, doesn't it look like it?" Shen Heng asked.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyu quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, it's very similar, it perfectly matches my image of an inspector, it's just..."
"What is it?" Shen Heng asked.
"He seems a bit too young!" Lin Xiaoyu said.
"Well, he's only 19 after all." Shen Heng withdrew his gaze.
"Huh?!" Lin Xiaoyu's eyes widened, forgetting even the pain in her ankle. She asked incredulously, "You're only 19?"
"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded.
"So young and already an inspector?" Lin Xiaoyu's eyes widened.
"It's nothing. If you can sense the Origin Power now, break through to the Tier 1 in your cultivation, and awaken your abilities, you'll have a great chance of joining the Supervision Bureau," Shen Heng said calmly.
"Is this really possible?" Lin Xiaoyu asked in disbelief.
"Yes, that's assuming it's now. The longer we delay, the smaller the chances become," Shen Heng said.
"Oh, okay." Lin Xiaoyu nodded as if she understood. "So when did you start cultivating?"
Shen Heng glanced at her, then looked away without replying.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyu realized that she might have asked too many questions, and consciously shut her mouth.
The two waited quietly in the alley.
Before long, the logistics team responsible for handling the corpses of the Calamity Beast arrived first.
"Comrade Inspector, thank you for your hard work!" The three men who got out of the car saluted Shen Heng.
"Okay, thank you for your help!" Shen Heng nodded.
Without saying another word, the three of them deftly loaded the Scale-Armored Hyena into the car and drove away.
Shen Heng waited there for a while longer, and then the ambulance arrived.
With the help of medical staff, Lin Xiaoyu struggled to her feet and then skipped and hopped toward the ambulance.
Just before boarding the bus, Lin Xiaoyu seemed to remember something and turned to look at the figure walking in another direction in the alley.
"By the way, could you tell me your name? I didn't hear you clearly just now."
The figure glanced back, then turned away and continued walking into the distance.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyu became anxious, but didn't know what to ask.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she called out:
"If I start seriously cultivating my senses now, can I really join the Supervision Bureau?"
The figure did not reply and continued walking forward.
Lin Xiaoyu lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Suddenly, a gentle voice drifted over on the breeze.
There will be an opportunity.
Lin Xiaoyu's eyes lit up immediately. She watched the figure open the door and get into the car, and nodded vigorously.
I will definitely work hard!
"Call..."
A cold wind is blowing.
Shen Heng silently gazed at the road ahead, pondering what had just happened.
He never expected to encounter Calamity Beast on his way home.
Luck?
No, given the increasing frequency of the Calamity Beast incidents and the range of his monitoring abilities, this situation is not surprising; it was simply a matter of time.
Moreover, the frequency of Calamity Beast incidents has been rising dramatically in the past six months!
This rise is not just for Linhai, but for the entire Blue Star!
They all understood why...
The Ruins Realm has discovered that the Darkwing Heavenly Spine Beast they sent has been killed!
Subsequently, perhaps because of the killing of the Darkwing Heavenly Spine Beast, the high-level Calamity Beast of the Ruins Realm misjudged that there was a power in this world that could threaten them.
They no longer seem to be trying to build a stable, large spatial passage, but instead have begun to deepen the connection between the two worlds.
During this process, one after another low-level, small-sized Calamity Beast were overlapped.
This has led to a dramatic increase in the number of Calamity Beast worldwide over the past six months.
In Linhai, the number of Calamity Beast appearing in a month has increased from six when Shen Heng returned from the training camp to eleven even before the month is over...
No, twelve... Shen Heng thought of the Scale-Armored Hyena that had just died.
It's worth noting that when Shen Heng joined the Supervision Bureau last year, there were only 2-3 cases of Calamity Beast per month in Linhai City.
Only five cases by the end of the year!
However, now, in just six months...
The number of incidents involving Calamity Beast suddenly surged from six when Shen Heng returned from the training camp to twelve.
The excessively high frequency of Calamity Beast attacks has led to the appearance of various Calamity Beast images online.
Some of the photos are blurry, taken from a distance, in a car, upstairs, on the street, or other places without consent;
Others are incomplete videos uploaded by survivors trembling after close encounters.
However, the latter will be far more numerous than the former.
After all, for most ordinary people, a close encounter with Calamity Beast Calamity Beast, even one that hasn't reached a higher rank, is practically a death sentence.
For this reason, whenever a close-up video of the Calamity Beast appears, it almost always goes viral online very quickly.
Subsequently, netizens quickly flocked to the comments section of that video.
While concerned about the blogger's well-being, they also spent a lot of time discussing what kind of Calamity Beast Calamity Beast it was, what its tier was, and so on.
For this type of video, as long as it is not too gory, such as Calamity Beast eating people, the platform usually does not deal with it, in order to deepen the general public's understanding of the Calamity Beast.
