I'll tell you.
"Right now, the opportunity to join the Supervision Bureau is already being sold for 12 million yuan per person on the black market."
"This is just an opportunity; there's no guarantee you'll be able to join!"
"That means our family had already cooperated with the Supervision Bureau before the Ruins Realm Invasion was announced. Otherwise, let me tell you, even if we broke our heads, we wouldn't be able to join the Supervision Bureau now!"
"It still doesn't work, this..."
Yu Jingming opened his mouth to refuse, but was interrupted by a stern and cold rebuke.
"Alright, that's settled then. It's not your place to make decisions about this family yet!"
Looking into his father's angry eyes, Yu Jingming opened his mouth, but ultimately kept it closed.
Father is right, it's not his place to make decisions in this family yet, but...
Yu Zhenzhong turned and left.
The brother and sister who remained at the scene were quiet for a long time; neither of them spoke.
Yu Chunhe carefully turned to look at her brother and said:
"Brother, it's okay. Actually, joining the Supervision Bureau isn't that dangerous. Mr. Shen Heng is still alive and kicking, isn't he?"
Yu Jingming turned to look at his younger sister.
Her little face showed some tension, but not any unease; that was truly what she thought.
Or rather, most people would probably think that way.
After all, Calamity Beast are still too far removed from the lives of most people.
Yu Jingming was somewhat dazed, and the scenes of battle, bloodshed, screams, and despair that he had witnessed before seemed to reappear in his mind.
Only those who have truly witnessed such a sight can deeply understand why the Calamity Beast is called Calamity Beast!
He slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed on the corridor where his father was no longer visible.
"Is it absolutely necessary for someone to join the Supervision Bureau...?"
Half a month later.
A street in Linhai City.
Three cars slowly drove into the area that had been cordoned off, and several figures got out of the cars.
Shen Heng turned his gaze to a certain spot.
There, a not-too-large carcass of Calamity Beast lay quietly, surrounded by several police officers.
Is it already dead?... Shen Heng glanced at the corpse of the Calamity Beast, then walked over.
Along the way, Shen Heng gathered, amplified, diffused, echoed, and analyzed the surrounding sounds...
The scene around him quickly formed in Shen Heng's mind.
The black asphalt road, the figures of people around, the cars parked a little further away, the buildings in the distance...
50 meters, 100 meters, 300 meters, 500 meters...
Shen Heng slowly approached the corpse of the Calamity Beast and stopped.
He glanced at Wang Hai, who was asking the police officers for information, and then turned his gaze to the corpse of the Calamity Beast.
This is a Gray-Clawed Xingxing, a lean creature that resembles an ape.
It is less than 1.5 meters long. Judging from the information about the Gray-Clawed Xingxing in the Calamity Beast Illustrated Guide, it is a Calamity Beast that is not even at the First Tier.
But none of that is important. What's important is...
Shen Heng's gaze lingered on the wounds on the Gray-Clawed Xingxing's body.
Its wound looked as if it had been torn open by something.
Judging from the type of wound, it was probably not caused by a human.
Ordinary animals are clearly no match for the Calamity Beast, so...
Calamity Beast?
Shen Heng's gaze lingered on the Gray-Clawed Xingxing for a moment before turning to Wang Hai.
"Did the person who called the police see clearly what kind of Calamity Beast the other one was?" Wang Hai asked Fan Hong.
"No." Fan Hong shook his head and said:
"After seeing it, he only glanced at it from a distance to confirm that it was indeed Calamity Beast, then immediately ran away, calling us as he ran to tell us where he was."
"So when you arrived, the Calamity Beast was already dead?" Wang Hai turned his gaze to the Gray-Clawed Xingxing.
"Well, otherwise we'll try to have someone track the other Calamity Beast," Fan Hong replied.
Wang Hai nodded slightly and turned to look at Shen Heng.
Shen Heng gently shook his head. "We didn't find any creature resembling the Calamity Beast; it should have already run far away."
Seeing this, Wang Hai had no choice but to nod. He turned to look at Fan Hong.
"You guys go back first, we'll handle the rest."
Fan Hong had no objection, nodded, and then called for the others to retreat quickly.
Wang Hai made a call to the Logistics Department and asked them to come and collect the body.
Immediately, the six members of the Linhai Supervision Bureau team gathered around the Gray-Clawed Xingxing and began to discuss it.
"This seems to be the second time, right?" Han Ling looked at the corpse of the Gray-Clawed Xingxing with some curiosity.
"Hmm, this is the second time." Wang Hai crossed his arms, his gaze equally focused on the Gray-Clawed Xingxing lying on the ground.
"Ah, if all the Calamity Beast could be like that, things would be so much easier for us," Wu Cheng remarked from the side.
"You're overthinking it. It's not that easy. Just getting them to encounter each other is difficult enough, let alone getting them to abandon the easier-to-kill ordinary people and go kill..."
While the group chatted, Shen Heng's gaze remained quietly fixed on the Gray-Clawed Xingxing.
What they just said is fine.
They did encounter a similar situation about a month ago.
The situation last time was similar to this time.
By the time they arrived at the scene, the Calamity Beast was already dead!
The Calamity Beast was also killed by another Calamity Beast, and it had many bite marks on its body.
Moreover, the slain Calamity Beast was not strong either; it was one that had not yet reached the next level.
even...
"What are you thinking about?" A soft voice asked beside Shen Heng.
Shen Heng looked at Le Gu Nan, who had walked up to him, and said:
"I'm wondering if these two Calamity Beast might be the same one."
Is it the same one?
Le Gu Nan gently shifted his gaze to the Gray-Clawed Xingxing.
She carefully recalled the previous incident, then turned to Shen Heng and asked softly:
"Is it because the two places are not far apart?"
"Hmm, it's about a three-minute drive from here to the last location, this distance..."
"Compared to other Calamity Beast that are encountered here by chance and then attack each other, is it more likely that they are the same Calamity Beast?" Le Gu Nan asked.
"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded, "But there's still one thing I haven't figured out."
"Which point?" Le Gu Nan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Shen Heng stared at the wounds on the Gray-Clawed Xingxing's corpse, and the mangled pieces of flesh at the wound sites.
"If it's the same Calamity Beast, why haven't there been any other Calamity Beast unrelated to it during this period?"
"After all, these few bites can't possibly cover its energy needs for a month, can they?"
Wu Cheng, who was listening to the conversation between the two, shared his guess.
"Maybe they'll eat it by rummaging through the trash?"
"Scooping through the trash can certainly be hygienic, and if no one else sees it, it can indeed hide the traces from our sight, but..."
Shen Heng's gaze was fixed on the corpse lying on the ground.
"I don't believe a Calamity Beast Calamity Beast wouldn't dare to attack humans!"
