Chapter 34 The First Mission
Chapter 34 The First Mission
Hearing Qingniao’s story up to this point, I couldn’t help breaking into a cold sweat for her battle, and at the same time sighed, “Your Security Bureau really doesn’t care that things in the hidden world are witnessed by the masses…”
"Because even if it is witnessed, it will not affect social stability." She said, "Besides, our Security Bureau does not want the public to understand the hidden world, but the public cannot understand the hidden world."
In the dream, I tried to see if the blue bird could reveal the magic power she manipulated, and even asked if it was allowed to take pictures with a mobile phone and upload them to the Internet, but they were all allowed.In the dream, I thought it was some kind of silent deterrent, implying that if I dared to do that, I would be dealt with secretly by the "witcher department".
Actually it is not.
The demon hunter department and its circle in the dream should be based on the security bureau and the hidden world in my memory, so they follow the same basic logic, that is—the secular society cannot perceive the hidden world anyway.
If you want to ask why, the answer is also very simple, because all hidden events have the participation of spiritual forces, and the basic characteristic of spirituality is "hiding".
Spirituality is the energy that is automatically hidden from nature and society. Only people with extraordinary intuition, that is, people with high awareness, can discover it from nature and society.
People who do not have a high degree of awareness, not only cannot perceive the external and internal spirituality, but also forget it after witnessing the hidden event - "forgetting" is not appropriate enough, strictly speaking, it is about the hidden event Memories will hide in their unconscious like beings that love dark places.
Assume that a warlock A and an ordinary person B experienced a certain secret incident together. One month after the incident, A asks B about the secret incident, and B can still answer fluently; but if A does not ask B, B will In life, you will not actively recall things related to hidden events.It's like most people don't remember what they had for breakfast yesterday when they have nothing to do, and they don't specifically think about whether they walked with their left foot or right foot when they went out. This kind of memory will be automatically classified as "unnecessary" by the consciousness. information of concern".Rather than saying "forget", it is better to say "don't think about it".
There are also some smart ordinary people who will be vigilant and think: Why do they act as if nothing happened after experiencing such a bizarre thing.
Then they will find reasonable reasons for themselves as if at the mercy of some hidden hint, for example: because this incident was too scary, it left me with a psychological shadow, so I neither want to recall nor want to Talk about it to others.
The more this strange phenomenon rises to the collective, the more effective it is, as if the collective unconscious also refuses to understand the hidden.
If individuals can still maintain awareness of hidden events to a certain extent, then the collective will always be in amnesia, or chaotic and fragmented, and gradually form urban ghost stories and fictional stories that no one believes in.
Jade Bird once said to me in a casual chat that the Security Bureau used to promote itself several times in an official name on TV and the Internet for the purpose of social experiments.For example, at the beginning of October [-], the propaganda caused a small commotion in the society. Up to now, the video and massive comments at that time can still be searched on the Internet. Know nothing.People who commented on the video back then either forgot about it, or although they still remembered the video, their memory was distorted, for example, it was just a spoof video posted by a private account, or it was just for Law popularization programs that follow the trend and add a lot of special effects, etc.
"The scene of me fighting the middleman this time is the same. Although everyone has witnessed it, it will soon return to their own lives. I will neither recall it specifically nor talk about it with others. Even if someone takes the video taken by the mobile phone Published on the Internet, it will also be regarded as special effects animation; and if it attracts the attention of the masses, it will soon be overshadowed by star lace news or political and business scandals, etc." Qingniao sighed, "The reason why I didn't want to be Warlocks... that's why. Once you join the hidden world, it's equivalent to joining a world that ordinary people will never understand, and you will gradually part ways with the social relationship in the past. Not only classmates and friends... even family members Same."
Then, she let out a breath and cheered up, "Okay, what did I just say..."
"The middleman released a lot of monsters to attack passers-by." I said, "Did he succeed?"
"I didn't succeed, it's still within my processing range." She replied, "Those monsters should be the demons he summoned, just when those demons flew out..."
Just when those demons flew out, the blue bird immediately raised his right hand.
A large cloud of lightning appeared in her palm, and turned into lightning guns that fired in all directions, quickly, accurately, and fatally killing all the demons that attempted to attack passers-by.
But when she looked at the man in the middle again, the latter took advantage of her distraction and ran off to nowhere.
There's nothing trickier than a warlock criminal in hiding.
Warlocks have two basic attributes, one is "awareness" and the other is "hidden".
If a sorcerer at the level of the blue bird wants to concentrate on hiding, he can even walk on the street in a bloody coat and no one pays attention to this level of things, even if he observes indirectly through electronic devices such as surveillance cameras, the result is the same. .Even if the sorcerer criminals like the middleman can't do this, it is enough to cause other bizarre phenomena, such as the police missing or losing key clues when collecting clues to his crime, or the detective trying to deduce his crime. When the train of thought inexplicably went into the wrong route.
For the criminal side, what a cheating supernatural power; and for the order side, what a tricky magic power.
Once the middleman is let go, the next time you want to catch him again, you don't know when you will have to wait.
But at his speed, he didn't know where he went for a second or two.Qingniao couldn't sense his breath, and couldn't even figure out in which direction he was running.
But... he would be naive if he thought he could escape this way.
Since you don't know where to run, search all directions!
At this moment, the blue bird turned into Lei Guang again, walked through all the streets and alleys in the vicinity at an unimaginable speed, searched all the places upside down in a blink of an eye, and finally found a person with his back facing him in a small road. Runaway middleman.
Another slash with a sword, the middleman was knocked into the air again after defending, rolled on the ground in embarrassment, then took advantage of the situation and continued to escape, rounding the opposite corner.
Qingniao keenly noticed that the man in the middle was seriously injured before, but now he has fully healed, only the blood remains on his clothes.
Super-speed regeneration... A common trick of demon warlocks, at worst, directly destroying the brain is... Uh, no, I am here to arrest people...
But he was still running away at this point... Did he think he could escape?Or is there any trump card?
Qingniao secretly guarded, and felt a little tired at the same time.She had used too many difficult spells of incarnation of natural elements in one breath before, even she was a little breathless.She then took a deep breath and continued to chase.
But from the opposite corner, a figure suddenly appeared.
This figure is not a middleman, but a woman.
Passers-by?wrong!
Qingniao's awareness immediately told her about the abnormality - the woman in front of her was not an ordinary person at all, not even a human being.
This woman has a very extraordinary beauty, even to the point of heterogeneity, it is an abnormal beauty that will be captured by it regardless of gender.
Assuming that beauty can be described by numbers, and the limit that humans can theoretically achieve is one hundred, then she is 120.
As the saying goes, extremes of things are reversed, and beauty to her level is already the beauty of aliens.Ordinary people may still be fascinated by it, but when a warlock like Qingniao sees it, there will be an uncanny valley effect.
But at this moment, the woman smiled at the blue bird, releasing an even greater charm, even the uncanny valley effect was overwhelmed, making the blue bird stunned.
This is a charm spell!
At this moment, in the eyes of Qingniao, the woman is no longer a threat, but seems to be a dream lover who suddenly visits, so Qingniao can't help standing where she is, at a loss for a while.
However, the main level law enforcement warlock of the Security Bureau can't be easily charmed.
Only a second passed, and Qingniao's eyes changed, breaking away from this charm, and the beautiful woman in front of her disappeared without a trace.
The other party didn't attack while the charm was in effect, probably because if he attacked, he would wake himself up from the charm in advance, and the gain outweighed the loss.
According to my own vision, if there is no accident, that woman should be a "succubus".
The real succubus is a spirit body, and the woman obviously has a physical body, probably a hybrid of succubus and human.
She appeared at this time to stop her pursuit, indicating that she was a partner of the middleman.And the succubus is originally a kind of demon, so it makes sense for her to be with the middleman, a demon warlock.
But he was able to charm himself for a whole second... That succubus is considered a strong one among warlocks, and her face is so "public", but I have never heard of her... Could it be that she has never heard of her before? Warlock criminals from other provinces?
The blue bird once again pursued thunderously.
She had imagined that there might be some kind of trap waiting for her ahead, but this obstacle was not enough to make her give up.
And it was this kind of thinking... that fell into the enemy's arms.
Qingniao found the back of the middleman in front of an abandoned building. The latter fled into the building in a panic, but she rushed in without hesitation.
Once inside, she saw a flash of light at the edge of her vision.
It was a full-length mirror, which was placed in the corner of the first floor for some reason; and through this mirror, she saw the figure of the succubus appearing behind her again.Looking back, I saw that the succubus also quickly took out a mirror, facing the mirror on the other side.
The blue bird and the middle man are both located in the middle of the two mirrors.
The mirror surfaces reflect each other, forming an infinitely repeated corridor.
"...When I came back to my senses, I was already in a different space."
In front of me, Jade Bird ended his statement about his previous experiences.
She complained a little, "I was thinking of finishing the mission quickly and inviting you to a movie, but now it's all gone."
"Are you and the middleman trapped in a different dimension by the succubus?" I asked.
"Yes, but it's not just the middleman..." she said, "The succubus who cast the spell also entered the different space at that time."
"A spell that even the caster will be involved..." I thought.
"Now it's your turn." She asked curiously, "How did you get here?"
I glanced around.
The "place full of danger" mentioned at the beginning refers to this place.
This seems to be the interior of a building. The gray and spacious corridor made of reinforced concrete has doors on both sides. Each door can go to different places. It may be a seemingly ordinary residential building corridor, or it may be a corridor full of people. A dusty office, maybe a classroom with messy desks and chairs...
All in all, this place seems to be a chaotic collection of spaces, the common point is that no one can be seen anywhere, but demons often appear.
Unfortunately, Blue Bird and I seem to be stuck here.
A two-person world full of suspension bridge effects - Qingniao described this different space in a joking tone, but she should also understand that this situation is not optimistic.
"I don't have the ups and downs you have had," I said. "I was chasing some demon."
Blue Bird showed a curious listening expression, and I began to explain the reason why I entered this different space.
But like said before, the whole experience was not that "fun".And anyway, I want to explain what happened before I entered here, why don't I put my experience of the last few days here and explain it together.
After joining the Security Service, instead of fighting dangerous warlock criminals like I expected, I was sent to patrol alone.
This is not unexpected. One must know that Liucheng is not full of vicious warlocks and criminals wandering around every day. Public security work is more of this kind of down-to-earth activity.Besides, my position in the Security Bureau is a little hard to describe. If I were called to form a team with other law enforcement warlocks, I would not know what to do for a while.
Taking advantage of this time, I was also able to fully study the textbooks on the common sense of the hidden world distributed to me by the Security Bureau.
I thought that this kind of life would last longer, but this evening, the Security Bureau still gave me a job, asking me to investigate the strange talk incident that happened in a certain school in Liucheng.
And that happened to be my alma mater.
"Don't you really want missions? It's not a problem to let you hang out on the streets like a social idler all day long. Having said that, there are really no suitable missions for you in the Bureau recently..."
Lie Que was sitting behind the desk talking to me.
"Isn't Jade Bird very busy recently? Let me help her." I said.
"The task she is doing recently is not suitable for you." He said firmly, "You are not allowed to inquire or intervene without authorization."

Hearing Qingniao’s story up to this point, I couldn’t help breaking into a cold sweat for her battle, and at the same time sighed, “Your Security Bureau really doesn’t care that things in the hidden world are witnessed by the masses…”
"Because even if it is witnessed, it will not affect social stability." She said, "Besides, our Security Bureau does not want the public to understand the hidden world, but the public cannot understand the hidden world."
