Inside an apartment.
Chen Ye looked at the rain outside the window, calmly drinking coffee. Since a while ago, it had been very noisy outside.
The sound of police sirens was incessant, unclear what had happened.
"Social turmoil."
Those people are really useless, it's been so long, and still no news.
"I'll do it myself."
Saying so, Chen Ye directly picked up a bottle of potion from the table.
He unscrewed the cap and drank the potion in one gulp.
Gulp!
Pfft!
"What's this?"
Suddenly, Chen Ye's eyes widened as his body started convulsing and twisting, with numerous strange spider silks appearing around him!
...
Meanwhile, at Nanyan Hotel.
The Queen Bee suddenly received a message from Chen Ye.
"Ah?"
Li Yuan looked at the Queen Bee, "What's wrong now?"
The Queen Bee placed her phone on the table, showing the message to everyone.
"The Lord has sent a message."
"Did we get the blood?"
Blood?
What blood?
Everyone was confused.
Li Yuan reverted to human form, his wounds already healed, "What blood, didn't the Lord say to kill him?"
"Wait, was the mission we heard a bit different?"
"You mean?"
"When did the Lord ask you to kill Chu Yang?"
"Are you sure the Lord didn't ask you to collect blood?"
"Is...is that so? That's what I heard on the phone that day... the Lord said to find a way to kill him..."
"Sure it wasn't to find a way to get some blood?"
"Uh..."
"The Lord said he needed materials, that guy, he might be the pharmaceutical material the Lord needs, so you have a hearing problem!"
Everyone facepalmed, they had taken 002's word for killing Chu Yang without thinking much.
Now it seemed, there was a big problem!
The Queen Bee slapped her thigh.
"So, the Lord intended to capture alive from the beginning, but we ended up killing the Lord's material?"
"This..."
Hearing this, Li Yuan suddenly felt a wave of fear.
If the Lord really wanted him to capture alive, and he directly killed the target, it would surely infuriate the Lord.
Although they had never seen the Lord angry, that was exactly why!
No one knew what the cost of angering the Lord was!
As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, it can also capsize it.
The Lord could grant them powers, naturally, he could also take them back!
And this might only be the simplest form of punishment!
"Are we... going to die?"
"Yeah, with the Lord's temper, he might kill us to vent his anger..."
"Wait, there might be a chance that Chu Yang is still alive!"
"Alive?"
"You mean, the one taken away by the police just now?"
"It's indeed possible!"
"Hurry up and confirm it, see if it's Chu Yang, in case he's still alive!"
"Yeah, what if..."
"No, wait..."
"Did we forget something?"
"Seems like..."
"Damn!"
Suddenly, they all realized, they had forgotten something!
"003 is already on his way!"
"Quick, call him back right now!"
...
A car accident happened in front of the city hospital.
The scale of the accident was huge, with a series of police cars crashing into each other, causing a large number of casualties.
But that wasn't the worst part!
The worst thing was, one of the injured had just been dug out from the wreckage, and he was in those police cars!
Flames soared into the sky, black smoke billowed, and chaos ensued in front of the hospital.
Wang Haonan looked at the scene before him, lit a cigarette, turned around to leave, "Sigh..."
"Finished."
Just then, Wang Haonan's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello."
"003, is the task completed?!"
"It's finished."
"...Is the target dead?"
"Dead."
"It's over..."
Wang Haonan exhaled a puff of smoke, "What happened?"
"Nothing, nothing... just come back first." A woman's voice came through the phone.
"Understood."
Wang Haonan threw the cigarette butt into the water, then turned and left.
After he left, a dark figure crawled out of an abandoned car.
"Cough, cough, luckily I... still had a Deep Sea Breath, ugh, can't do this anymore... feels like my body is falling apart..."
...
The next day.
The incident that happened yesterday made the news but was simply categorized as a fire and traffic accident.
The casualties of the Beiling police force went unnoticed, with higher-ups showing even less concern.
The reason behind this was because the Queen Bee had been manipulating the entire Beiling city from behind the scenes.
She controlled a large number of Beiling's citizens and high-level figures in various fields by mixing her body fluids into beverages.
Reports submitted by the Beiling police force to their superiors were all dismissed and ignored.
At this moment, they felt even more helpless.
Inside the Beiling City Police Station, the chief was writing a report.
"The entire Beiling city seems to be enveloped in a massive net, with someone covering the sky with one hand, concealing everything."
"We are now like fish caught in a net, dogs trapped in a cage, all our voices suppressed."
"Our cries go unheard, our deaths unnoticed. The audacity they have must mean they are being assisted by someone."
"Assisting... assisting those monsters, how absurd!"
Bang!
The chief slammed his fist on the table, "The upper echelons have been infiltrated!"
"I must personally go to the capital!"
Just then, a police officer came in with a document.
"Chief, this... this was entrusted to us by Captain Yang before his demise, insisting it be delivered to you."
The chief fell silent.
"Yang Yan..."
He miraculously survived that collapse, only to die in that mysterious car accident.
This matter is...
Damn it!
The chief's hands trembled as he took the document, seeing five big characters on it.
"The Nine-Tailed Fox Plan?"
Opening the file, he read the following:
"If this document is not personally handed over by me, then I must already be dead. Do not pity me, for from the day I became a police officer, I was prepared."
At the beginning of the document was Yang Yan's will.
Then, he outlined a hypothesis between humans and monsters, recording all the information about monsters he had gathered.
Finally, he proposed a method to deal with these monsters.
To establish an organization specifically targeting supernatural beings or phenomena, to understand them, contain them, and control them!
"Break the shackles of our minds, step out of the barriers of our cognition. Do not view the unreasonable with reason."
"They are not human. If we treat them as we do humans, humanity will never overcome monsters."
"We must dare to imagine, as Chu Yang did, open our minds. The abilities of monsters are boundless; they will not conform to our understanding!"
"Start by imagining, then try to understand. The way to defeat monsters might just lie within the monsters themselves!"
"We must find solutions to these monsters and all answers from the monsters themselves!"
"We contain, we control, we protect?"
