As the Red-clothed Female Ghost let out shrill screams, its form gradually grew smaller, with its bones and flesh diminishing.

In the end, all that was left was a tattered deep red long dress, still emitting faint, powerless whimpers.

The crowds that had previously fled in panic had already stopped.

The slightly braver ones even took out their phones to record what was happening in front of them.

They couldn’t help it, not just these ordinary people, even the personnel from the action department, who often dealt with the supernatural, had never seen such a scene.

Lv Bai observed the state of the Red-clothed Female Ghost before him, feeling that its Yin Qi had mostly dissipated, only then did he casually toss aside the willow branch in his hand and launched another Palm Thunder at the remaining red dress.

Without a doubt, the Red-clothed Female Ghost in this state clearly couldn’t withstand the Thunder Technique, turning on the spot into a pile of charred fragments.

The remnants were eerily familiar to Captain Mao, who looked at Lv Bai with a complex expression: "As expected, that old tour guide was also dealt with by you."

Lv Bai turned his head back and smiled: "I told you from the beginning, but you didn’t believe me."

Captain Mao struggled to suppress the shock within him and asked expectantly: "Are you willing to join the action department?"

...

Sitting in Captain Mao’s car, driving from a serene hillside villa area towards the bustling city.

The surrounding buildings gradually grew denser and more crowded.

Even though this was a world with the supernatural, during the day, it was still a scene of heavy traffic, exuding the flavor of a modern metropolis.

This drive wasn’t very long, yet it was enough for Lv Bai to use this time to think.

In fact, it had already been a week since he arrived at this Death Arena.

Ever since that night, when he fought the Red-clothed Female Ghost in front of many personnel from the action department and citizens, everything changed.

It’s important to know that during the two years since the supernatural descended, humanity had been helpless against it, only able to sacrifice lives to explore the rules and ways these supernatural beings killed.

As a result, suddenly emerging a presence capable of fighting the supernatural, no level of attention paid to it would be excessive.

Captain Mao knew he wasn’t qualified to handle this matter, reporting the facts at the first opportunity.

After all, there were too many witnesses, verifying it was quite easy.

Once this information was confirmed, it received high-level attention nationally.

How exaggerated was this attention?

Let’s put it this way, on the second day after Lv Bai dealt with the Red-clothed Female Ghost, comprehensive publicity regarding Lv Bai was launched to boost national morale.

Later that evening, an official memo was broadcast.

All news media reprinted it.

This news created an uproar online in a very short time.

The footage of Lv Bai using his hands to wield thunder and using a willow branch to whip the Red-clothed Female Ghost was made into a short video, spreading rapidly across the entire nation.

The people of this world had been under the shadow of the supernatural for too long.

Human weapons had no effect on the supernatural, and humanity was almost in a passive waiting-to-die state.

Any glimmer of hope became exceedingly precious.

And Lv Bai’s easy dispatching of the supernatural wasn’t just a glimmer of hope.

It was the sun itself!

People began to inquire who Lv Bai was? Was he a humanoid weapon specially developed by the action department to combat the supernatural?

Information about Lv Bai soared in popularity online.

This included not only spontaneous dissemination by the public but also the power of news media fueling it.

The purpose, naturally, was to restore public confidence by pushing Lv Bai forward as a figure of human Guardian God.

On the other hand, a state-led agency or department was established, called the "Lv Bai Service and Research Guarantee Bureau."

Known as Lv Bao Bureau for short.

So, although Captain Mao invited him face-to-face that night, he ultimately did not join the action department, and rather, took part in supernatural events as a consultant or assistant, much like now.

In hindsight, the goal of Lv Bao Bureau was quite straightforward and very clear, merely to provide services and conduct incidental research for Lv Bai.

Despite the straightforwardness of Lv Bao Bureau’s goal, the scope of work for its members was still vast, with detailed work content being extremely complex.

From daily routines to food and water.

Even in the Lv Bao Bureau, there exists a position of instant coffee observation officer in the dining section, meticulously recording every action and physiological reaction of Lv Bai in the field of instant coffee.

Even if... Lv Bai just casually bought a pack on a shopping spree to try it out.

The car drove steadily in the middle of the road, flanked by other action department vehicles.

"Master Lv, once again we ask for your help."

Captain Mao gripped the steering wheel with both hands, nodding his head with gratitude towards Lv Bai.

Lv Bai stretched lazily: "I don’t know much, but I heard it’s in a university?"

Captain Mao nodded and continued: "A couple of days ago, Ke Mountain Art University reported a bizarre disappearance case, with six female students going missing. They’re not from the same dormitory and have no connection with each other.

It’s almost definite that it’s the work of the supernatural, but our action department couldn’t find a single clue after two days of investigation, we had no choice but to seek your assistance."

It’s worth noting that although Lv Bai was cast in the image of a human Guardian God, he wasn’t actually very busy this week.

Counting the old tour guide and the Red-clothed Female Ghost, he had only dealt with four supernatural incidents this week.

After all, the supernatural descent is a global crisis event.

Supernatural phenomena like the old tour guide, which have fixed areas of activity, exist only five times around this city, which is already a lot.

Individual cities, in fact, have supernatural occurrences in single digits; otherwise, with the supernatural’s killing efficiency, humanity would have been extinct long ago.

And for these supernatural beings with fixed areas of activity, as long as you don’t approach them, safety can still be assured; they aren’t categorized as emergencies requiring urgent handling.

As such, under the premise that Lv Bai temporarily doesn’t plan to leave this city, his schedule is far more leisurely than imagined.

...

Half an hour later.

The convoy stopped at the entrance of Ke Mountain Art University.

A large crowd had already gathered in advance around the university entrance to welcome them.

Among them were university leaders and action department personnel, but the majority were those excited and eager ordinary citizens wanting to see Lv Bai with their own eyes.

Thanks to the official backing, even though Lv Bai hasn’t acted often, most citizens already see him as a Guardian God.

The car door opened, and as soon as Lv Bai stepped out, warm cheers erupted around him, some even broke through police barriers to try and touch Lv Bai for a bit of Immortal Aura.

This scene was something Lv Bai had witnessed plenty within this week.

He wasn’t surprised nor flustered.

He merely offered a gentle and friendly smile to those around him.
