Seeing the electric bike that had mysteriously disappeared from his cognition, Li Hanbin didn’t continue heading to the rented room but stayed where he was, waiting for backup.

He was just responsible, not seeking death.

As they say, when it comes to supernatural matters, you can never be too cautious.

Li Hanbin didn’t have to wait long before several vehicles carrying action department personnel arrived at the neighborhood, and the vehicle loudspeakers blared loudly as people expertly organized the evacuation of the neighborhood citizens.

Once the residents of the nearby buildings were evacuated, the action department personnel began attempting to approach the electric bike.

"Yes, it’s exactly the electric bike in the photo."

"No special effects, it’s safe to touch. Beginning inspection now."

"Everything’s normal, no issues found."

After hearing the report, Captain Mao nodded, then walked to the staircase, directing his gaze towards the rented room.

The door there was tightly shut, and since it was in the basement, visibility was very low.

In a trance, it looked like a closed gate to Hell.

Just looking at it filled him with a sense of panic, making him involuntarily tremble.

Captain Mao took a deep breath, steadied himself, and extended his hand, "Give me the key."

"Let me open it." Li Hanbin held the spare key to the basement.

In the face of unknown supernatural events, numbers don’t matter.

Especially when encountering them for the first time with no understanding of the situation, it’s a life-or-death gamble.

But to learn about a supernatural creature’s habits, someone must pave the way with their life, someone has to be the first.

Captain Mao raised his hand to stop Li Hanbin, speaking sternly, "Stop, you’re not from the action department."

Suddenly, as the two were arguing.

Click~

A soft click was heard from the basement door.

The two in the corridor immediately fell silent, as did several action department members nearby, all nervously watching the door.

Though the door hadn’t opened yet, some faces were already turning pale. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As the door opened, many gasped in shock.

However, the imagined gruesome and bloody scene did not appear.

What met everyone’s eyes was a handsome, well-built young man.

He even looked a bit drowsy.

Lv Bai squinted his eyes, looking up at the stairway entrance, "Haha, so many people, sorry, I slept late last night."

He stepped outside, politely saying, "Excuse me, excuse me."

Actually, he didn’t need to say it. The action department personnel in the corridor didn’t dare block this seemingly supernatural guy. They quickly made way before he got too close.

After exiting the corridor, Lv Bai curiously asked, "But what exactly happened in the neighborhood? Why is everyone being evacuated?"

Li Hanbin: "..."

Captain Mao: "..."

The scene fell silent immediately; whether it was Captain Mao or Li Hanbin, both unconsciously wondered if something went wrong somewhere.

...

After sending the evacuated residents back home and finishing up, it was already dark.

The action department personnel set up a temporary tent at the neighborhood entrance.

Lv Bai sat on a reception chair, Li Hanbin sat opposite him for questioning, and Captain Mao stood aside with his arms crossed, vigilantly watching Lv Bai.

Throughout this time, they realized Lv Bai wasn’t anything supernatural; all information matched, he appeared to be an ordinary person.

"Do you not know the 25th rule of the ’Guidebook for the Management of Strange Disasters’? You broke the law last night, you know?"

Li Hanbin knocked on the table in front of him, "Go on, where were you last night?"

Upon hearing that he broke the law, Lv Bai immediately replied in an official report tone, "Approximately ten o’clock last night, citizen Lv Mou felt cooped up at home, so he donned a black jacket, rode an electric bike with a license of ****, traveled along Chengfu Avenue, and after about thirty minutes of riding, seeing the electric bike was low on power, he began to head back home."

"Hold on a minute!"

Li Hanbin’s expression turned odd, trying hard to maintain his composure, "Simplify it."

"On my way back, passing through Bamboo Forest Park, I suddenly felt a strange stare, so I got off my bike to check the park and soon encountered an old man with grey hair, leaning on a cane."

Hearing this, a strong urge to ridicule surged in Li Hanbin’s heart as he sat opposite Lv Bai.

He always thought Lv Bai’s actions were bizarre.

Even before the supernatural occurrences, that was reckless behavior, and he wondered how such a reckless person managed to survive till now.

"Yes, that’s the tour guide of sequence 183."

Standing beside, Captain Mao confirmed this from Lv Bai’s description.

He actively interjected, asking, "And then what happened?"

Lv Bai glanced at him and patiently explained, "Then the old man insisted on dragging me into his tour group and even hid the roads around."

Captain Mao’s eyes lit up, "Is this when a new supernatural entity suddenly appeared and got rid of the old tour guide?"

"What new supernatural entity?"

Lv Bai blinked, gradually realizing these official personnel seemed to misunderstand something, and patiently explained, "The white-haired old man was forcing a sale. I had just learned the Mao Mountain Daoist Technique. Could I let that slide? I pinned him to the ground right then."

Captain Mao: "?"

As Lv Bai finished speaking, the scene fell silent briefly.

Bang!

Captain Mao slammed the table with a palm, angrily scolding, "Be honest! Stop spouting nonsense and just tell what happened!"

No supernatural entity of any sequence can be dealt with by humans.

When the supernatural first occurred, the military even attempted using nuclear bombs, which could only affect some entities with a physical presence.

Now, a delivery guy jumps out claiming he took down a supernatural entity; in Captain Mao’s view, he either was out of his mind or deliberately joking with them.

Li Hanbin also shook his head with a wry smile, "Xiao Lü, it’s not the time for jokes."

Lv Bai laughed candidly, "Alright, actually, a humanoid black creature suddenly appeared and bit off the old man’s head."

"What does this black creature look like specifically? How tall is it?"

Captain Mao calmed himself, took a pen, and started jotting in a small notebook.

Lv Bai reluctantly smiled. Before he could decide how to fabricate his story further, a hysterical scream shattered his train of thought.

The scream came from building No. 8 of the neighborhood.

All the action department personnel on site were taken aback.

Facing such a sudden incident, Captain Mao didn’t have the time to continue questioning Lv Bai. He looked towards building No. 8, loudly commanding, "Everyone!"
