Chapter 248: Chapter 235 Disaster Evacuation (Request for Monthly Pass)
Huang Country, Baiyun State, the coastal city of Lindong City.
It was noon, when suddenly, the shrill, urgent sound of the air raid siren began to resound continuously within the small coastal city.
People looked up in confusion.
The air raid siren had been tested many times over the years, but it was just that—a test. War had always been a distant concept for Dong Huang.
But today, the siren wailed on, and every television channel and radio station in Lindong City immediately switched over. Through the speakers boomed the voice of the broadcaster, solemn and serious, tinged with a hint of nervousness.
“We interrupt this program with an urgent notification. A significant Mysterious Evil disaster is expected to occur in the northern part of Lindong City. Please evacuate in an orderly fashion under the guidance of the investigators and head to the designated shelters.”
“I repeat, there’s no need to panic. Please evacuate orderly.”
“Our warriors on the frontlines will protect our homeland.”
“We interrupt this program with an urgent notification…”
The resounding broadcast echoed above the city, mixing bewildered and panicked reactions from the populace. It wasn’t long, however, before investigators and police officers wearing black vests appeared to soothe and direct them.
“Everyone, please remain calm; the disaster has not arrived yet.”
“This is merely a precaution to ensure safety, just in case. Please proceed to the designated locations and await the lifting of the disaster alert.”
Seeing these black-vested heroes, frequently featured on their screens, the people felt a bit more at ease. They quickly packed up and, following the disaster drill they had previously rehearsed, moved toward the designated locations.
The people of Lindong City had previously practiced for disasters.
Ever since the authorities announced the Mysterious and Awakening phenomena, as well as the disasters lurking beneath reality, residents had been organized into groups by various departments to practice disaster drills.
They had the experience.
Though many Awakeners had been seen on the screen since the Era of Mysteries began, for the vast majority of people, those terrifying dangers and disasters were something they had neither seen nor heard of.
It was said that many places overseas were deep in turmoil, yet domestically it was still peaceful. Thus, when a real disaster suddenly struck, it was natural that people got somewhat unsettled.
But it was only a minor disruption.
With the collaboration of the Investigation Bureau and other departments, the entire city—especially the residents of the northern area—was quickly evacuated to various shelters in the south.
Most people cooperated fully, of course, and while every forest has its birds, extraordinary actions were taken in these extraordinary times. With the joint efforts of all departments, the evacuation proceeded smoothly.
The focus of the Investigation Bureau quickly shifted back to the north of Lindong City.
The disaster, the Ghastly Realm gate, was not within the city, but rather, located over ten kilometers away from the outskirts of town.
A faint grey fog pervaded the area, and the sky was shrouded with overcast clouds. The absence of wind made the atmosphere feel somewhat oppressive.
Bang~!
Two investigators took action and annihilated the last wandering Mysterious Evil in the vicinity.
A bit further away, numerous investigators clad in black vests were busy setting up the area. These were official investigators.
There were also many informal trainees. One couldn’t count on them on the battlefield, but in assisting with establishing defense lines and setting traps, these trainees were up to the task.
Facing the opportunity to be close to the battlefield didn’t scare the trainees; it stirred excitement and exhilaration instead.
Wang Fan was among these young trainees.
“Instructor, why has the entire city been put under martial law? This place is still more than ten kilometers away from Lindong City,” he wondered.
The training camp of the Investigation Bureau also included cultural courses.
The majority of the teaching materials were derived from the Torchfire edition but had been expanded to include a wealth of content, such as actual cases of disaster incidents handled by the bureau.
One such case study discussed a Ghastly Realm gate that appeared in the cemetery on the outskirts of Baijiang City.
Wang Fan wasn’t exactly a top student, but he studied diligently when interested and remembered clearly.
“Back then, that Ghastly Realm gate disaster—our Investigation Bureau didn’t have many experts, and there was no experience to draw upon. However, didn’t the disaster remain contained within the southern cemetery, without spreading?” he pointed out.
Now, there were several hundred official investigators here in black vests, and it was said that there were also seventy or eighty Awakeners among them.
With far superior fighting strength and weaponry, wasn’t dealing with a Ghastly Realm gate a breeze?
The young instructor laughed and scolded, “Clearly, you haven’t learned thoroughly. As the erosion intensifies, the danger level of the Ghastly Realm gates also gradually increases. Besides, the Baijiang City incident barely averted a major disaster.”
His face took on a look of reminiscence.
Though only two or three months had passed since that time, he had been through a lot and had changed significantly.
The young instructor, Ke Yuan, was originally from Baijiang City. Back then, he was just a newly appointed third-tier investigator, as insignificant as an ant on that Ghastly Realm battlefield.
He would never forget the dazzling thunderlight that fell from the heavens.
Even now, having become one of the powerful among the special ranks, he still could only look up to such might.
“More importantly, the Ghastly Realm gate outside Lindong City might not be simple. It could be many times more dangerous than usual.”
“Of course, this time we are well-prepared with strong forces, and we have reinforcements from that organization. You don’t need to worry, kid; it’s all under control.”
“Evacuating the public is just a precaution, and we can treat it as a real-life drill. We always need to be ready for anything, right?”
However, Wang Fan didn’t catch the rest of the words.
He had only picked up on the crucial point.
“That organization? Could it be…”
“The legendary collaborative organization?!”
“Bro Ke, Bro Ke, just give us a hint, will you? I’ll treat everyone to Xianwei Zhai after today’s battle is over,” he bargained.
That was a newly opened chain restaurant with an ancient décor.
The ingredients were of unparalleled freshness.
The flavor seemed to touch the soul, and everyone who tried it praised the dish. The only downside was the price; the dishes at Xianwei Restaurant were extremely expensive.
Even Ke Yuan, a senior investigator, had never tasted them.
He involuntarily licked his lips, but halfway through, he stopped awkwardly and stiffened his face, “As for the cooperating institution, you will naturally come to know of it when the time is right.”
Just as Wang Fan couldn’t hide his disappointment, Ke Yuan spoke again, “You performed well at the training camp, and your progress has been rapid. If you work a little harder, you may have the opportunity to go to a special place for further study in a while.”
“Kid, this is a rare opportunity, so grasp it well.”
…
Torchfire, Secret Realm.
No core meeting was convened because not everyone was present. Torchfire Angel Envoys were busy traveling far and wide, and since the entrance to the Secret Realm was still quite a distance away, the round trip would take too much time.
Fang You skipped the formalities and kept it simple, directly posting the announcement in the management staff’s work group.
[Global Distribution Map of Ghastly Realm Gates]
In total, there were 75 locations, and all would open within three to six hours. Time was of the essence.
Yiluo Xi was the first to speak up, “Our Sisterhood wants 10 locations… no, make that 15!”
Next to her, Bai Yansi, seeing the group chat, could not help but cover her forehead with her hand, “President, do you realize what taking on 15 Ghastly Realm Gates entails? Our organization doesn’t have that many members.”
Yiluo Xi pouted, “Isn’t this for the development of our Witch Sisterhood? If I don’t seize more missions now, they’ll be gone later.”
“emmmmm…”
Being an advisor was not easy. Bai Yansi sighed.
But after all, it was the instructor’s mission, and they couldn’t let the problematic girl lead the subordinate organization astray.
She advised, “President, you don’t want to see our sisters fail to complete the mission and suffer heavy losses, do you?”
“That’s true. Then how about, how about taking 13 locations… 12 locations… 11 locations?”
Her voice weakened, “But an opportunity to earn so much contribution is really, really rare!”
Bai Yansi covered her forehead again. “Let’s see what the instructor has planned.”
…
The arrangements were already in progress.
Fang You glanced at the most eager few, hmm, it wouldn’t be good to dampen Yiluo Xi’s enthusiasm; after all, if she were to stop being proactive, it would be a loss for all of Torchfire.
He opened Yiluo Xi’s panel.
He then glanced at the Witch Sisterhood member list and their strength sent by Bai Yansi.
The list was quite long, largely due to Yiluo Xi’s unmatched strength. Despite her eccentricity, she was generous and loyal. The Sisterhood itself also had low entry requirements, accepting any female who wasn’t grossly wicked or evil.
By now, the entire Sisterhood already had 101 Awakeners, a number that may even surpass some medium-sized countries.
If you went back three or four months, even Dong Huang might not have been able to muster a three-digit number of Awakeners.
However, the quality of Awakeners recruited by the Sisterhood was inconsistent. Some were willing to follow Yiluo Xi, while others were just idling, and some had other motives.
Exactly how many were truly willing to put up a fight against the Mysterious Evil was uncertain.

“Besides these Awakeners, Yiluo Xi’s organization has also taken in many homeless girls. So far, some of these orphaned girls with good temperament have been selected to go to the training camp to learn.”
“Once they return after their studies, they will gradually help raise the ideological average of the Witch Sisterhood.”
They also saved male orphans, but under Yiluo Xi’s principles, they were not allowed to join; instead, they were sent to Torchfire Town managed by Roland.
The Sisterhood and Torchfire Town now stood as giants in the Mysterious World of Oulu Continent.
Considering the strength of Yiluo Xi and the Sisterhood, Fang You made arrangements, assigning 12 Ghastly Realm Gates in the central and northern regions of Oulu Continent to her.
He cautioned, “Out of these 12 disasters, 8 are located away from cities and can be dealt with later. Your main mission is to counter the four others.”
“We will also dispatch two elite combat teams from within the organization to work in coordination with you.”
An elite Torchfire team typically comprises 5 members, with the team leader being a triple Awakener, fully capable of single-handedly commanding the defense against a Ghastly Realm Gate.
After all, they are Torchfire’s triples, the cream of the crop among the graduates.
Following that,
Black Blade, Xing Jing Lei, An Jianyou, Thousand Faces, and others, each had their assignments.
Black Blade was responsible for the disaster in Lindong City.
Pei Hongjing headed to White Bear Country.
Xing Jing Lei traveled to the White-headed Eagle Federation, with the target being one of the dark red Ghastly Realm Gates.
An Jianyou’s responsibilities covered several areas; she could fly, was fast, and was able to assist wherever necessary.
Thousand Faces took Mazeaki Maika with him to Sakura Country to deal with the disaster there and to set up some arrangements.
As of now, Torchfire possessed two fifth-tier warriors.
Twelve fourth-tier warriors.
And more than thirty third-tier warriors.
This disaster’s scope was far broader than the Red Moon Heretical Cult event. Yet, they seemed to have ample manpower for the task.
Yinling, Liu Chang, and Wang Chui didn’t need to enter the battlefield.
They would serve as reserve forces.
As for Fang You, the Savior, naturally, he would be stationed at the Secret Realm, providing the most crucial long-distance support to the Angel Envoys.
