Chapter 30: Chapter 28: Shocking Court Wood Investigation Team

Li Mingyue was stunned for a moment:

”The Anomaly Administration Bureau?”

’So the government really does have a department for incidents like the Ghost Government Office.’

The Anomaly Administration Bureau had reacted quickly tonight. It seemed their system was already well-established.

This at least proved that anomalous incidents had happened in the Xia Kingdom before, and they had drawn strong official attention.

Cao Ye said in a low voice:

”Fifty years ago, the first anomalous incident occurred.

In the northern Bai City, an old woman with a cat’s face appeared, attacking passersby at dusk.”

Cao Ye looked at Li Mingyue and asked, building the suspense:

”Do you know who the culprit was?”

Li Mingyue shook her head in confusion.

Cao Ye slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, his gaze intense. ”It was a cat.”

Li Mingyue’s eyes widened:

”A cat?”

Cao Ye nodded.

”Yes, a black cat with a red-tipped tail.

This cat possesses a strange power. It can transform the dead into cat-faced zombies.”

Li Mingyue’s eyes were filled with shock.

’A cat can turn the dead into zombies with cat faces?’

A smile played on Cao Ye’s lips as he shook his head.

”This world holds too many secrets that our modern technology can’t comprehend.

The authorities created a special department to uncover these secrets—the Anomaly Administration Bureau.

That cat is now in the Anomaly Administration Bureau’s archives.”

Li Mingyue looked at Cao Ye in astonishment:

”You subdued that cat?”

Cao Ye pursed his lips.

”’Subdued’ isn’t the right word. We just figured out its temperament.

As long as it doesn’t see anything dead, it won’t go berserk. It’s just like an ordinary cat.

Oh, right. The cat can also talk. It calls itself—Taboo.”

Li Mingyue raised an eyebrow:

”Taboo?”

Cao Ye nodded.

”According to the cat, there are many other Taboo Items in this world. It’s just one of them.”

Li Mingyue felt like the door to a new world had just opened:

”Taboo Items?”

Cao Ye said:

”Every Taboo Item possesses an unimaginable power.

An army or a team of Sheriffs and Military Officers can’t contain them.

Fortunately, the state has poured resources into the Anomaly Administration Bureau, giving it a solid foundation.

Every Investigator in the Anomaly Administration Bureau is a battle-hardened Warrior equipped with advanced weaponry.

The Bureau also has experts, doctors, and professors from various fields.

For the past few decades, we’ve been working to understand these Taboos, and we’ve made some progress.”

Li Mingyue gave a faint, relieved smile:

”So we do have the power to subdue Taboo Items?”

’Only after experiencing the Ghost Government Office could one know how terrifying Taboo Items are.’

’Knowing the authorities have a way to subdue Taboo Items is truly reassuring.’

Cao Ye stubbed out his cigarette butt.

”No. Taboo Items cannot be subdued by mortals.

Only a Taboo can defeat a Taboo.”

Li Mingyue’s smile froze.

Suddenly, she remembered the mysterious boss, Jin Meiting, and the black-robed old man she had met tonight.

’Could they be Taboos, too?’

’No, Jin Meiting is my classmate. I know her inside and out. How could she possibly be a Taboo?’

She couldn’t figure it out.

Cao Ye continued:

”So, with that cat’s help, we’ve successfully contained four Taboo Items over the past fifty years.

The Human Skin Drum, the Mother-Child Black Coffin, the Five Emperors Poison Coin, and the Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse.”

Li Mingyue’s eyes widened:

”That cat... helped you?”

Cao Ye said:

”As long as you understand a Taboo Item’s own ’taboos,’ you can contain it, or even... use it!”

After speaking, Cao Ye took a sip of water to wet his throat and continued:

”Take that black cat, for example.

The black cat’s taboo is that it can’t see the dead.

As long as we station an energetic Investigator by its side, we can suppress its violent nature.

What’s more interesting is that, after a long period of trial and error, we discovered that the cat likes antiques.

As long as we give it antiques, it’s willing to help us.

The other Taboo Items are the same.

As long as you find the right approach, they won’t cause trouble.

As long as you find the right method, they can be used by us.”

When Cao Ye finished, he glanced at the deeply shaken Li Mingyue, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth:

”Officer Li, are you willing to join the Anomaly Investigation Team?”

Li Mingyue paused, stunned:

”Me?”

’I just graduated, and I haven’t even finished my internship at the Sheriff’s department. Can I really join such a special unit?’

Cao Ye said:

”I’ve seen the video footage from tonight. Your on-the-spot reactions were excellent, and your psychological fortitude is also very good.

I’m planning to establish the South Sea Shocking Court Wood Investigation Team, and I hope you’ll become one of its members.”

Li Mingyue blinked:

”The Shocking Court Wood Investigation Team?”

’What a strange name.’

’They could have just called it the Ghost Government Office Investigation Team!’

Cao Ye said:

”The cat back at the Bureau said the Ghost Government Office incident was caused by a Gavel.

If its abilities weren’t only useful on corpses and living people, I would have brought it with me.”

Li Mingyue understood.

’So that’s the origin of the name ”Shocking Court Wood Investigation Team.”’

She wasn’t even surprised that the entire case was caused by a Gavel.

After what she had been through tonight, nothing would seem strange anymore.

Cao Ye was a heavy smoker. He lit another cigarette and continued speaking:

”Taboo Items are a grave danger to the country.

Every time a Taboo Item appears, the Anomaly Administration Bureau suffers heavy casualties.

At the same time, Taboo Items are also an opportunity for the Xia Kingdom.

I want to uncover the secrets of the Taboo Items and bring them completely under our control!”

A flicker of fear appeared in Li Mingyue’s eyes.

’Tonight’s Ghost Government Office was truly terrifying.’

’If it weren’t for those three, my chances of survival tonight would have been slim.’

’Jin Meiting, the mysterious boss, the black-robed old man.’

A complicated look flashed in Li Mingyue’s eyes.

’What’s the deal with Jin Meiting?’

’Who is the mysterious boss, really?’

’Should I... tell Cao Ye this information?’

’If Cao Ye got this intel, I’d probably be credited with a great achievement, right?’

Li Mingyue quickly pushed the thought from her mind.

’First, Jin Meiting is my classmate. I’m not the type of person to sell out a friend for a promotion.

Second, the mysterious boss saved me tonight. He’s my benefactor. I can’t betray him.

Third, if I betray them today, will I even be alive tomorrow?’

’How terrifying were those Ghost Constables? I experienced it firsthand!’

’Those three handled the Ghost Government Office with ease. I’m not stupid enough to think they’d be easy to deal with just because they might be human.’

Cao Ye said:

”The Anomaly Administration Bureau has poured all its efforts into exploring the mysteries of the Taboo Items, but we’ve barely made any progress.

The three anomalous individuals who appeared tonight possess immense power.

I suspect they already have a way to perfectly control Taboo Items.”

Li Mingyue nodded to herself.

’Those three were definitely after the Taboo Item.’

’The secrets of the Taboo Items are like an online game.’

’Those three are the beta testers, while the government has just started the tutorial.’

’No, that’s not right. Jin Meiting isn’t a beta tester; the mysterious boss and the black-robed old man are.’

’Jin Meiting just latched onto the beta testers.’

Li Mingyue couldn’t help but ask,

”You’re not planning to investigate those three mysterious people, are you?”

Cao Ye took a long, hard drag from his cigarette:

”That’s right. I need to know the secrets of the Taboo Items.”

Cao Ye held the cigarette between his teeth, his eyes narrowed:

”We have to find the three of them.

I want to cooperate with them, or... subdue them!

You witnessed the entire event tonight. The Shocking Court Wood Investigation Team needs you.”

Li Mingyue looked at Cao Ye in horror.

’Become an enemy of the mysterious boss and his group?’

Cao Ye stood up and walked behind Li Mingyue:

”The Sheriffs said the rain was too heavy tonight to see anyone clearly.

The one they saw most clearly was the strange old man who looked like a dragon.

That Succubus was strange, too. Everyone remembers she was enchanting, but they can’t recall her face.

Actually, I don’t care about those two. The one I’m most interested in is the man holding the umbrella.

The Sheriffs said his face was blocked by the umbrella, so they couldn’t see what he looked like.

And, well, your camera didn’t catch it either.”

Li Mingyue’s mind raced, her gaze darting about.

Suddenly, two hands rested on her shoulders. A shiver ran down Li Mingyue’s spine!

She slowly turned her head and met Cao Ye’s face as he leaned down.

He was smiling.

”You were there for so long. Did you get a clear look at his face?”
