Chapter 94

December 25th, Christmas Day, the weather was particularly cold, but the cold could not stop the joyous steps of Christmas.

Although this festival is a traditional holiday for foreigners, the Chinese people also love this holiday, just as foreigners enjoy the Chinese traditional holiday, the Spring Festival, don't they?

In today's globalized world, cultural exchanges are very frequent, and no one would refuse the sudden addition of more holidays.

The cold weather made everyone wear thicker clothes, but there is a saying:

In the scorching heat of summer, a hundred men swim in the river, exuding a carefree charm,

In the bitter cold of winter, a woman in a pair of stockings is charmingly beautiful.

Even though the weather was very cold, there were still many girls on the street dressed very lightly.

At 8:30, Lin Fei took a taxi to the Abnormal Ability Administration. After entering, relevant personnel led him to a large conference hall.

Upon entering the hall, Lin Fei found that many people had arrived before him. He casually found a seat at the back and waited.

Time slowly passed, and more and more people came into the hall. Most of them were middle-aged, and Lin Fei, a young man in his early twenties, seemed a bit out of place among them.

"Lin Fei, I didn't expect you to be called here too!" A somewhat familiar voice suddenly reached Lin Fei's ears.

"Tang Anchen, what a coincidence! Do you know why we were called here?" Lin Fei, who had been playing with his phone, looked up in surprise at the man in front of him.

"I don't know either. I received a call yesterday saying the Abnormal Ability Administration needed me here, so I came," Tang Anchen, sitting in the row in front of Lin Fei, said.

"I'm the same as you. I don't have much connection with them, and I don't know why they called me here," Lin Fei said.

...

At 9:00, the time notified by the phone arrived.

At this moment, several investigators walked into the hall. The leader was an elderly man, but he stood straight with bright eyes, and flashes of spiritual light occasionally appeared in his eyes. He should be a highly skilled practitioner.

As these investigators entered, the people in the hall stopped their conversations.

"Hello everyone, I am an investigator from the Abnormal Ability Administration, my name is Liu Zhigang," the elderly man said into the microphone.

The people in the hall did not speak, waiting for the elderly man to continue.

"Today, we have called you all here because each of you is a practitioner, stronger than most people.

The Abnormal Ability Administration wants to recruit you all as investigators. Of course, this is on a voluntary basis, and we will not force anyone to join," Liu Zhigang said.

Upon hearing this, the people present began to discuss among themselves. "Join the Abnormal Ability Administration and become an investigator. If I were twenty years younger, I would choose to join. Now I'm fifty-two, I have the heart but not the strength!" one man said.

"My career is just starting to take off, I don't want to become an investigator," another man said.

"The job of an investigator is a bit dangerous, and I'm the only child in my family!" a man in his early thirties said.

Liu Zhigang looked at the noisy crowd and frowned. "Alright, those who want to join us can stay, and those who don't want to join can leave now."

With these words from Liu Zhigang, the scene suddenly became quiet. Not everyone could become an investigator, but the job was dangerous, especially after the spiritual energy outbreak.

After a few minutes of silence, most of the people in the hall got up and walked towards the door. They chose to leave, as they were already satisfied with their current lives and did not want to take the risk.

"Liu Laoshi, can't you say a few more words to keep more people? They are almost all gone," the young investigator sitting next to Liu Zhigang said.

"Those who do not share the same path cannot work together. I did not agree with the administration's plan to recruit practitioners from the public to become investigators to ease our current pressure," Liu Zhigang said.

"Liu Laoshi, there's no other way! The students from the Practitioner Academy still need time to become our strength, and now many personnel have been dispatched to guard the entrances, leaving the Abnormal Ability Administration in various cities severely understaffed," the young investigator said helplessly.

"I would rather have fewer but not compromise on quality. Those who fear death should not even think about joining us. And look, some people are still here, so it's not a complete loss," Liu Zhigang's attitude was firm.

The young investigator understood Liu Zhigang's point, but seeing only nine people still sitting in the hall, he felt a bit discouraged.

"Young man, don't be in a hurry to leave. Stay and listen to what I have to say before you make a decision," Liu Zhigang called out, seeing Lin Fei, who was about to leave with the others.

The crowd looked back at Liu Zhigang in confusion.

"I'm talking to you, the one in the beige coat. Stop looking around and find a seat," Liu Zhigang said again.

The crowd turned their gaze to Lin Fei, who looked helpless and had no choice but to return to his seat.

After those who chose to leave were gone, only a dozen people remained in the large hall, making it seem empty.

"Next, I will tell you something that you should not tell others. Of course, even if you do, no one will believe you.

Since you have chosen to become investigators, I will no longer hide anything from you. After all, our time as humans is running out.

You have all seen the news about the attacks by abnormal beasts on humans recently, right?

The attack on Yacheng, to be honest, the abnormal beasts that attacked Yacheng did not come from our Blue Star. They came from another world," Liu Zhigang said calmly.

"Sir, are you joking? Abnormal beasts from another world attacked our Yacheng? We are not three-year-old children," Tang Anchen laughed.

"Right! How could such a thing happen?"

"Too fantastical."

"It's not a movie, where would another world come from?"

Lin Fei did not speak, calmly watching the crowd, waiting for Liu Zhigang to continue.

This young man has a good temperament and remains calm in the face of events. After observing Lin Fei's reaction, Liu Zhigang continued, "I am not joking. Look at these things, and you will understand. Xiao Sun, play the video footage for them."

"Yes." The young investigator immediately stood up and went to the control panel, activating the large screen in the hall and loading the prepared video.
