Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

6: Save half your life, information without words in the heavenly bookChapter 6: Saving Half Your Life, Intelligence - Wordless Heavenly Book

Four police cars, sirens blaring, arrived within fifteen minutes, their red and blue lights flashing in the night.

The police quickly set up a cordon, sealing off the scene.

Even though it was past 11 PM, residents, seeing the police, bravely came downstairs and gathered outside the cordon.

There were easily over a hundred people.

Gossip was immediate.

Amidst the crowd, various speculations and rumors began to spread through the night air.

“This must be retaliation against society!”

The voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction with social phenomena: “People nowadays, under too much pressure, easily go to extremes.”

“I heard those streamers say it might be a relationship dispute.”

Someone else said indignantly: “Those female streamers are all no good, all they know is to hook up with their top supporters, and now look, they’ve brought trouble upon themselves.”

“This online streaming is a mess.”

“Exactly, exactly.” A middle-aged woman next to him quickly echoed, “My son just watches those streams all day, his eyes are almost blind, and his health has gotten much worse.”

Inside the apartment building.

Bai Yu stood by the window, looking down at the commotion below. He wondered if there were any Special Investigators among the law enforcement officers below, especially the existence of Transcenders!

“From the drone footage, the numbers of 3 dead and 5 injured seem to match.”

“The previous intelligence was 7 dead and 5 injured. I didn’t expect that just because I looked at two pieces of intelligence, four fewer people died. The importance of intelligence is self-evident!”

“It’s like a piece of futures information, just a few dozen characters long, that can make the principal five times over.”

“The only thing I guessed wrong was that the Merman’s target was not Xin Xin Baby. However, she also seems to have been hit, I just don’t know how serious her injuries are.”

At this moment, his phone rang.

[Big Account Godson]

He answered.

Before he could speak, the excited voice from the other end came through.

“Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Something big happened!”

“The car accident outside the company?”

“You, the village internet user, know about it too?”

“I live across from the company, I saw the whole thing with my own eyes.”

“Ahem…” Zhang Youpeng cleared his throat, changing the subject, “Brother Yu, it wasn’t someone you hired, was it? You wanted to hit Piggy Baby, but sent a beauty filter picture and hit the wrong one. You truly are a good brother, even notifying me in advance to take leave.”

“Young man, you know too much! Hehehe~”

“I’m so scared~”

“Get lost! By the way, I told you to take leave, this time I saved half your life, so how are you going to repay me?”

“Tianhai Vocational Technical College’s cafeteria, anything you want.”

“Damn it, the Rat Head Duck Neck incident just happened. Is this your way of repaying me? You’re getting revenge!”

“Then a seafood buffet, how about that? This is a huge splurge!”

Bai Yu knew he was referring to the one that cost 328 yuan per person. For students, it was definitely high-end dining.

“That’s not bad, I’ll keep that in mind.”

“If I hadn’t taken leave this time, I really might have been done for. Treating you to a meal is only right.”

“Mm. Then, as planned, we’ll continue playing soccer tomorrow.”

“Alright! The culprit hasn’t been caught yet, and going to the company isn’t safe. I’m even thinking about whether I should just quit, after all, these streamers don’t know how many people they’ve provoked. Work is risky.”

“We’ll see.”

“Beep beep beep~”

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu went to sleep, looking forward to tomorrow’s intelligence.

Tianhai City.

Jiangnan District Investigation Bureau.

The clock on the wall quietly pointed to 12:30 AM, but the Investigation Bureau was still brightly lit.

The on-site investigation had been quickly completed, and the perpetrator’s brazen actions made the case clues particularly obvious—throughout the afternoon, the perpetrator had openly lingered near the crime scene, captured by surveillance cameras over a hundred times.

On the screen, surveillance video of the car accident scene was playing.

In the footage, the white BMW X7 charged into the crowd like a runaway wild horse.

The video paused at a critical moment.

“Look at this guy’s appearance,” an enforcer pointed at the screen, his voice low, “He has a clear black mole on the tip of his nose, and his nose is slightly flat. His features are very distinctive.”

Another enforcer switched to the surveillance footage by the river.

In the footage, the strange changes in his ears were clearly visible before the figure jumped into the river.

“Looks like… fish fins? A Merman…”

They continued to check nearby surveillance, trying to catch any disturbance on the river surface.

However, for a full three to five minutes, the river surface was calm, with no abnormalities.

“This guy has been underwater for so long, who knows where he’ll swim to. He’ll be hard to catch.”

“Check all surveillance cameras along the river. See if he came out of Qingyun River. Also, deploy underwater monitoring devices to compress his activity space.”

While they were watching the surveillance, through facial comparison, the perpetrator’s information had already been identified. This man, named Wang Yongjian, and his dispute with the deceased were quickly revealed.

“The key is still the higher-level Merman who granted him power from behind. We must find out who Wang Yongjian has been in contact with recently.”

“Understood!”

After a brief arrangement, Deputy Director Yang, sitting in the monitoring center, scanned the rows of investigators from various groups who were still working.

Supernatural cases were far more numerous than imagined.

Those masterminds who constantly created low-level monsters were the big fish.

Low-level Mermen like today were just mudfish stirring up trouble, increasing the workload.

At this moment, the members of the Seventh Group walked over. Three men and two women, these five were true Transcenders.

Deputy Director Yang looked over, and with a kind smile, asked, “How are things going with the Vampire in East City?”

The leader of the Seventh Group spoke, “We caught a few Blood Servants, but there’s still no progress.”

“Hmm, I know an old friend who has dealt with the Blood Race for over ten years. If you have any questions, you can go talk to him. However, this person’s identity is quite special, and he has a peculiar temper.”

On the other side, while the investigators were reviewing the surveillance, they naturally noticed the drone that had tracked the entire incident.

From the drone’s flight angle, it had clearly captured the footage of Wang Yongjian transforming into a Merman.

This meant that an ordinary person was involved in the supernatural world.

In the early days of Spiritual Qi recovery, such people might be hypnotized or sign non-disclosure agreements, and those with good Aptitude might later join the Special Investigation Bureau.

Now, it has been 17 years since Spiritual Qi recovery, and more and more people are coming into contact with the supernatural world. Management is relatively relaxed, but it is still necessary to send people to communicate.

After the Investigation Bureau identified the drone’s owner, they considered sending a team of investigators to make contact.

This was not only to understand the witness’s situation but also to ensure that the witness could properly handle the supernatural phenomena they had seen, so as not to widely publicize it online and cause public order pressure.

Otherwise, without a gradual cognitive process, suddenly making everyone in the world accept absurd realities would very likely cause chaos.

Early the next morning.

Around six o’clock, Bai Yu woke up.

Normally, he would have continued sleeping.

But he couldn’t sleep!

It was like when he was a child, and his parents left for early work; the moment the door closed, his mind would clear.

He was in that state now.

“Panel, open!”

He only had a little intelligence value left, not enough to buy any good intelligence.
