Xu Dongyou's cold, fever and cough are not contagious. Just as Captain Tian Ze said, they are entirely the sequelae caused by excessive consumption or use of his abilities.
In order to avoid worrying Hou Mingjun and his parents, he sent a message to them in the car, saying that he had something to do and could not go over for the time being. He also told Hou Mingjun that he had already resolved the matter of thanking Zhang Wu and Zhao Liu.
But it did not say how the solution was solved.
Hou Mingjun didn't ask, but just said that he would treat Xu Dongyou to dinner next time.
The two grew up together, so there is no need to separate them too clearly.
Xu Dongyou put away his phone and went straight to a hotel to stay. He didn't want to go home and make his parents worry for the time being. Besides, this place was close to the processing bureau, so it was convenient for him to go there at any time.
Xu Dongyou lay on the bed and rested for a while, but couldn't resist his curiosity about the psychic watch and sat up and opened the box. The psychic watch inside was the same as Zhao Liu's.
All very ordinary.
There is also an instruction manual about the psychic watch at the bottom of the box. It says that you need to press the button on the side of the watch three times for the first time, and then you can set the gestures you are used to.
But before that, you need to fill in real information after opening the watch, and the post-processing bureau will review and confirm whether it is authentic.
It took Xu Dongyou about ten minutes to finish filling out the form. Then he began to set up gestures. He could turn on the psychic watch by double-tapping the screen, and long pressing would exit the main interface, which was almost the same as a mobile phone.
As for the serial numbers, Xu Dongyou saw six serial numbers displayed on the right. The first line showed an unfamiliar name, but it was marked in brackets as "fourth-level team leader."
The second one is Tian Ze, with the words "Level 4, Team 8 Captain" in brackets.
The others are Zhao Liu, Zhang Wu, and two other unfamiliar names, most likely the other two members of the small team that Tian Ze mentioned.
Xu Dongyou hesitated for a few moments, and finally gave up the idea of taking the initiative to greet the members, and decided to wait until the next time they met.
In addition to the contact list, there are also redemption functions, tasks, abnormal information, and personal information.
Xu Dongyou first clicked on his personal information, where he found the information he had just filled out. It showed that his nickname was Lidong, and there was also a bracket next to it, showing "Team Eight".
In addition, there is information such as psychic level and points displayed as zero.
After reading this, Xu Dongyou prepared to look at the redemption function that he was most interested in.
Xu Dongyou sat up straight and clicked it, and saw several categories.
There are weapons, props, medicines, and the last one is currency exchange function.
Not expecting that the Processing Bureau had so many types of exchange functions, Xu Dongyou widened his eyes slightly, and once again tried to click on the weapons category with awe and amazement, but was told that it could not be opened because he had no points.
The types are the same.
Xu Dongyou sniffed in frustration, not knowing if it was an illusion, but the headache became even more unbearable. He did not plan to continue studying the watch, but lay down directly to catch up on his sleep.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Dongyou heard the beeping sound from his watch. He opened his eyes in confusion. The slowness in his brain caused by the cold and fever made him stunned for several seconds before he remembered everything that had happened that day.
Xu Dongyou groaned and sat up, then he opened his watch and saw the message from Zhao Liu.
Zhao Liu (Team Eight): We received 6 points for this mission. We will each take one-third. Your points have been transferred. You should hurry up and exchange them for a sequelae-relieving agent in the medicine category.
Xu Dongyou was somewhat touched, and then he typed using voice input into his watch.
Lidong (Team 8): Thank you. How can I get the medicine after I exchange it
Zhao Liu (Team 8): You have to come and get it yourself, or I can deliver it to you.
Xu Dongyou hesitated again and again. He was sure that his illness would be more serious tomorrow and he didn't know whether he would be able to stand up by then.
Xu Dongyou pursed his lips in embarrassment, but still sent the hotel location and asked Zhao Liu to deliver the things over.
Zhao Liu quickly replied that it was no problem and asked Xu Dongyou to let him know when he had exchanged the medicine and he would go to get it.
Xu Dongyou switched back to the redemption function, clicked on the medicine category, and quickly found something called "sequelae relief agent" in the first column. The price was 1 point.
He flipped through the pages and found more medicines that also had a score below 3.
But because his fever and cold were too severe, Xu Dongyou no longer had the energy to look at it carefully. He quickly redeemed the money and sent the redemption code to Zhao Liu.
About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on Xu Dongyou's door. He quickly got out of bed and staggered over to open the door.
Zhao Liu looked at Xu Dongyou's face, which had turned red due to fever, and said, "Take the medicine as soon as possible."
Xu Dongyou coughed twice, took the medicine, and his voice was even hoarser than during the day, "Can I just drink it directly?"
Zhao Liu remained silent: "Yeah."
Xu Dongyou opened the cork of the potion and drank the potion inside in one gulp. The taste was a bit like peach.
Zhao Liu watched Xu Dongyou drink it and then stood up to leave. Before leaving, he said, "You should have a good rest. You will be almost well tomorrow. The captain said that you should have a good rest for two days."
Xu Dongyou did not try to keep him, and after closing the door, he hurriedly fell asleep.
It was after ten o'clock the next morning when Xu Dongyou woke up. He lay there for a few seconds before sitting up.
After taking the medicine and having a good sleep, I felt almost fully recovered just as Zhao Liu said. I would be almost fully recovered in three days at most.
Xu Dongyou yawned, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and his messy hair made him look even more childish.
Xu Dongyou ordered a takeaway, washed his face and brushed his teeth while waiting, and at the same time, he couldn't wait to open his psychic watch to check out other functions that he had not had time to look at yesterday.
The first thing Xu Dongyou clicked on was the task function, which was divided into several different categories, such as evil spirits, evil spirits, and others.
In each category, there will be tasks with difficulty levels that have been identified by the Processing Bureau. There are also some tasks that seem to be issued by members of other teams of the Processing Bureau themselves, but the difficulty levels are not written.
Xu Dongyou stared at the two task categories, evil spirits and demons, for a long time, then clicked in to look at the task information.
After reading several of them, Xu Dongyou roughly understood the difference between evil spirits and demons.
Generally speaking, most ghosts wander the world because of obsessions during their lifetime or unfulfilled obsessions before death, or because they have resentment in their hearts. Those with strong resentment will harm people.
The evil spirits don't seem to have any obsessions, but there is a very terrifying thing that can only be solved by finding the source of the evil and the evil spirits' killing rules, then helping the victims escape, and then sealing them with props.
As for where the evil spirit went after being sealed.
A newcomer like Xu Dongyou who just joined the processing bureau has no way of knowing the truth. It seems that he can only wait until he sees Zhao Liu and the others next time to ask them in detail.
In addition to tasks, there is also something called abnormal information. Xu Dongyou summarized the difference between ghosts and evil spirits from this abnormal information.
About two or three minutes later, the takeaway arrived. Xu Dongyou ate the takeaway while looking at the task information in the task function.
One of the supernatural quests related to ghosts is on the commercial street opposite this hotel.
Xu Dongyou checked the contents in detail and found that it said that a toy store owner had called the police several times, claiming that he saw a teddy bear moving and making giggling sounds.
But the other shop assistants didn't hear it, and she became more and more panicked, so she temporarily closed the shop and went home to rest.
The mission showed that the boss seemed to have stabilized after returning home. It looked a bit like there was some evil spirit at work, but it didn't seem like it.
So the points for this mission are not very high.
Xu Dongyou remembered that Hou Mingjun had called the police many times before, and this information was probably collected by the processing bureau and included in the task, and then Zhang Wu and Zhao Liu happened to take the task.
It was precisely because of this series of coincidences that he was able to enter the processing bureau by chance.
Xu Dongyou stayed in the hotel to rest for two days, and returned to school for classes on the third day. Hou Mingjun took advantage of the lunch break to ask Xu Dongyou out for a meeting.
When Xu Dongyou just arrived and hadn't had time to sit down, Hou Mingjun took the lead to ask: "Dongyou, when you sent them off yesterday, did you ask what they did?"
Xu Dongyou didn't know whether the handling bureau would let ordinary people know about this, so he simply avoided the topic without being clear about the details.
Hou Mingjun could only stop asking and started chatting about other things. After chatting for about an hour, the two of them went back to school.
Xu Dongyou was walking while thinking about his future development plan. If he hadn't joined the processing bureau yesterday, perhaps he would still follow the previous direction and participate in the talent show after he had learned all aspects of knowledge thoroughly.
He didn't want to follow his instructor's advice and go directly to a public institution to become a member of an art troupe after graduation.
He wanted to be on the stage.
but…
It's different now.
Xu Dongyou was a little hesitant for a moment, not knowing what path to choose for the future.
At seven o'clock the next morning, after Xu Dongyou finished washing up, he contacted Tian Ze in a respectful tone.
Lidong (Team 8): Captain, I will be at the processing bureau at 8 o'clock, but I don't know how to go next.
Tian Ze responded quickly.
Tian Ze (Captain of Team 8, Level 4): Zhang Wu and I will be waiting for you in the lobby on the first floor. The bureau has something to talk to you about today.
Xu Dongyou felt a little nervous for a moment. He didn't dare to ask what was going on. He quickly put on his coat and walked out of the boat.
Fengnian Street Management Bureau.
There seemed to be more people in the hall than yesterday. Some people were whispering, with expressions of surprise and envy, which eventually turned into expressions of watching the fun.
Until Xu Dongyou walked in, the voices seemed to become much lower.
Xu Dongyou vaguely felt that many people were casting veiled glances at him.
There is curiosity, surprise, or something else.
Xu Dongyou had long been accustomed to enduring such gazes. He looked around and soon noticed Tian Ze, Zhang Wu and others who were waving at him not far away.
Xu Dongyou ran over quickly, greeted the three people, and then subconsciously looked around.
"Don't look at them. The other two have something to do today and won't be here until noon. Let's talk business first." Tian Ze spoke quickly and got straight to the point: "Do you know why there are so many people here today?"
Xu Dongyou shook his head obediently, feeling even more uneasy.
It can't be because of me, right
Zhang Wu next to him couldn't hold back and blurted out: "Humph, they must be here to laugh at our Eighth Division."
Xu Dongyou became even more confused after hearing this.
Tian Ze glared at Zhang Wu, then changed his expression in the next second and looked at Xu Dongyou, "About this matter, the captain will bring Mr. Chen to talk to you later, you must be respectful, understand?"
Xu Dongyou became even more nervous and nodded instinctively.
About five minutes later, the elevator door opened and seven or eight people walked out, surrounding an elderly man in his sixties or seventies wearing a Zhongshan suit. He had a kind expression but for some reason he looked extremely majestic.
The people around suddenly became quiet and all lowered their heads subconsciously.
One of them, a middle-aged man in his forties, smiled gently and waved towards Xu Dongyou.
Tian Ze immediately came to his senses and poked Xu Dongyou, "Come with me."
Tian Ze, who always had a gruff voice, became very reserved in front of this middle-aged man and the old man in a Mao suit. "Hello, Mr. Chen, hello, Captain."
Old Chen's eyes were still clear, and he said to Tian Ze with a smile: "Xiao Tian, is this the new talent in your team?"
Tian Ze suppressed his excitement and said, "Mr. Chen, do you still remember my last name?" After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and quickly pulled the well-behaved Xu Dongyou over. "This is the new member of our team, Lidong."
Xu Dongyou also became nervous and quickly imitated Tian Ze, "Hello, Mr. Chen, hello, Captain."
The few people behind Mr. Chen seemed to have expressions on their faces that said "We are noble and you are unworthy of us", and they showed a bit of disdain for Xu Dongyou's obedient and flattering behavior.
Xu Dongyou: “???”
Tian Ze quietly patted Xu Dongyou on the back as a comfort.
Without even turning around, Mr. Chen seemed to have anticipated the silent expressions of the people behind him, and said to Xu Dongyou: "Don't pay attention to them, they are a bunch of ignorant people."
It was a face that looked dignified and steady, but there was no sense of incongruity when he said this.
Xu Dongyou quickly shook his head to indicate that he didn't mind.
"Let's go inside first and continue talking." The middle-aged man called captain by Tian Ze stretched out his hand to signal Chen Lao and others to go forward.
Xu Dongyou followed behind, looking confused.
I still don’t understand what to do next.
When they reached the end of the hall on the first floor, the captain stepped forward and entered the fingerprint password. Then the door slowly opened, revealing a deep and bottomless staircase inside.
A person next to Mr. Chen walked out and took the lead.
After the dark staircase sensed someone coming down, the luminous pearls embedded in the wall slowly lit up, illuminating the way ahead.
Xu Dong wandered around the center, looking around nervously and curiously. The rows of luminous pearls seemed to have no end in sight.
Everyone's footsteps echoed.
After walking down for about half an hour, the view in front of us suddenly opened up and revealed a huge space with almost no end in sight.
The group walked slowly forward for about a few thousand meters, and finally stopped in front of the stone bridge. Next to it stood a stone tablet with a few large characters written in a flourish: "Seal the entrance to the town!"
seal
What on earth is sealed on the other side of this bridge? It takes such a big fuss.
Xu Dongyou swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably that he was about to come into contact with something extraordinary.
A man behind Old Chen walked out, and a ball of fire appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he drew several patterns on the stone tablet.
Xu Dongyou once again widened his eyes in a useless manner.
Tian Ze secretly poked Xu Dongyou again, telling him to stop being so useless.
Although his expression was even more exaggerated when he first came in.
Xu Dongyou struggled to hide his shocked expression.
After the last stroke of the pattern was completed, a translucent, more complex and huge door seemed to emerge in the air.
Only then did Old Chen turn his head and look at the captain. The captain looked at Xu Dongyou and said, "All newcomers with psychic powers above level 2 will have to complete a mission after joining the Processing Bureau. It's about saving the world."
There was only one voice echoing in Xu Dongyou's mind.
Save the world.
Xu Dongyou tried to straighten his chest and clapped his hands, "Of course I have no choice but to do such an important thing, but I am not strong enough..."
This scene and this sealed town that is full of unknowns yet makes people feel mysterious and awe-inspiring, make Xu Dongyou feel a little too stressed.
If he fails to complete the task...
Elder Chen patted Xu Dongyou on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to go to the battlefield. You just need to try to get close to the ancient mysterious being that has suppressed itself under the seal and find a way to appease him."
Xu Dongyou was stunned: "Ah... May I ask what the mysterious existence you are talking about is?"
In addition to evil spirits and ghosts, are there other unknown lives in this world
Chen Lao said calmly: "Oh, the one sealed inside is the mythical Zhulong, don't be afraid."
Xu Dongyou was stunned for a moment: "???"
My mind was filled with shock.
Candle, Candle Dragon
The creatures in mythology actually exist in reality?
