Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye were both stunned.

Frozen in place.

Blood pooled on the ground...

At this moment, a tall girl in a mini skirt walked out.

With long legs, delicate features, and a simple ponytail, she exuded a capable aura.

She held a gun, leaning against the doorframe, sizing up Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye.

Jiang Che: "(◐ˍ◑)"

Zhuge Ye: "(ó﹏ò)"

A murderer?

Is this the Uncanny Bureau?

Did we come to the wrong place?

The woman with the gun raised her chin and said, "Hey! You two, what are you doing here?"

Zhuge Ye: "(ಥ_ಥ)"

Seeing Zhuge Ye still in a state of collapse, Jiang Che had to muster up the courage to say, "Captain Zhou asked us to come today to collect our reward."

"Oh~"

"From Tianqing High School, right?"

"Wait here for a bit, I'll handle the body first."

The woman put away her gun, walked over, grabbed a leg of the corpse, and dragged it inside.

As she dragged it, she reassured Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye, "Don't be scared, this person was obstructing official duties, it's normal to shoot them."

The two of them pursed their lips.

Jiang Che: "Obstructing?"

Zhuge Ye: "Official duties?"

"Yes." The woman said matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's obstructing official duties. What else could it be, refusing to join the Uncanny Bureau?"

"Our Uncanny Bureau never forces anyone to join."

"???" ×2

The body was dragged away just like that.

Leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Their faces were stiff.

Jiang Che turned his head and asked, "Are we still going in later?"

Zhuge Ye, trembling all over, replied, "Can we still leave now?"

"……" ×2

Soon, the woman's voice came from inside.

"You two outside, come in."

Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye nudged each other as they walked in.

At this moment, the woman had her long legs propped on the desk, swinging them back and forth.

On the desk was a handgun, and a few RPGs leaned against the wall behind her...

"Gulp."

The two swallowed simultaneously.

The woman leaned back in her chair and said, "Let me introduce myself, I'm Hong Ling, part of team 3033, oh right, that's Zhou Yong's team."

"He's support, I'm the firepower."

"Hello, Sister Hong." ×2

Hong Ling stood up and stretched, causing Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye to squint their eyes.

‘Wow—those abs...’

Then, Hong Ling took out two black rings and two forms from a drawer.

"Sign here, and these Mystic Rings are yours."

"And for the five hundred thousand, just leave a bank account or a payment app ID, and finance will transfer it to you shortly."

"Is it really that simple?" Jiang Che asked.

Hong Ling nodded, looking puzzled, "Yes, it's that simple. A few others came by this morning, I'm familiar with this process."

The two exchanged a glance, and for some reason, they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Hong Ling suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, these Mystic Rings can only open D-F level Uncanny Trials. Once D-level isn't enough for you, you can come back to upgrade."

"Also, the Mystic Rings we issue are certified and cannot be resold. If caught, you'll face jail time. Got it?"

Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye nodded vigorously.

In just over ten minutes, all the paperwork was done.

Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye put on their Mystic Rings, delighted beyond measure.

Even if they didn't use them, they were great for showing off.

After all, they were a symbol of status.

Zhuge Ye looked at the ring in his hand, "Whoa, is this a couple's set?"

Jiang Che: "What's wrong with you?"

Hong Ling: "It is a couple's set."

Jiang Che: "..."

"Well, Sister Hong, we'll be leaving now," Jiang Che said with a dark expression.

Zhuge Ye waved, "Goodbye, Sister Hong."

Just as they were about to leave.

This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".

Hong Ling: "Wait a minute."

"I just remembered, you both completed the hidden challenge tasks, right? Didn't Zhou Yong promise you something else?"

The two exchanged a glance and quickly shook their heads, "No, he didn't."

Hong Ling squinted, her long eyelashes sending out a dangerous signal.

"I remember now, Zhou Yong said those who completed the challenge tasks could join the Uncanny Bureau."

Hong Ling tossed out two stacks of documents, casually saying, "Come on, sign these, and you two will be part of the Uncanny Bureau."

Jiang Che: "..."

Zhuge Ye: "..."

"Yuanfang, what do you think?"

"Look with your eyes, not your butt, of course."

Actually, Jiang Che did need such an identity as a shield right now.

But joining the Uncanny Bureau wasn't something to be taken lightly.

So, Jiang Che stretched his neck and said, "Isn't this a bit too hasty..."

Hong Ling: "Not hasty."

"Can I ask..."

"No."

Jiang Che: "..."

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

A few minutes later.

Hong Ling raised her eyebrows and tapped the gun on the desk, "Stop dawdling! Sign it!"

"……" ×2

Thinking of the person who was just shot in the head, Jiang Che felt a chill run down his spine.

Is this what they call voluntary?

Is this what they call never forcing anyone?

"……"

Hmm?

Something's not right!

Jiang Che suddenly thought of a loophole.

Everything happened too coincidentally.

Why did they happen to encounter it?

When that person was shot, there seemed to be a Mystic Power fluctuation, right?

Moreover, if the Uncanny Bureau really forced people to join like this.

The internet would have been in an uproar long ago, right?

From the beginning, Hong Ling had been subtly sending a message.

‘Refuse to join the Uncanny Bureau and you'll die!’

Thinking about it, it was indeed too deliberate.

A trap?!

Jiang Che glanced at the bloodstain on the ground.

The "corpse" was dragged into the office?

That doesn't make sense. Who would stuff a corpse into their office?

According to Hong Ling, shooting that guy was justified, so it could be dealt with openly.

The more Jiang Che thought about it, the clearer it became.

So that's it.

There's only one truth!

This is a trap!

Just as Jiang Che was about to speak.

Zhou Yong suddenly walked out from that office.

He smiled and said, "Don't rush, you can learn about the Uncanny Bureau first, then decide whether to join."

Hong Ling pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "No fun."

Jiang Che: "Zhou..."

"Hero Zhou! If I don't join, you won't really kill me, right?"

"I'm still young, I don't even have kids yet, I can't let my girlfriend with an A4 waist, 36D, 172CM Reba face become a widow!"

"Ah...!!!"

Zhuge Ye burst into tears, snot and tears flowing.

"……"

Wasn't this guy pretty smart?

Why did his brain suddenly stop working?

Zhou Yong chuckled, pressed his palm down, and said, "Don't worry, we won't force you, and you won't be killed."

"Also, don't bring up inflatable stuff, we've investigated, you two are both single."

Zhuge Ye: "..." It's all silicone, actually.

Jiang Che: "..."

Chief Zhou gestured for them to sit, "You two, sit down first."

Zhuge Ye clung tightly to Jiang Che's arm, still sobbing.

Jiang Che, with a black line across his face, said, "Let's sit first."

Zhuge Ye: "Daxia people don't deceive Daxia people?"

Zhou Yong lightly tapped his fingers on the table.

After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said.

"One's youth only comes once."

"For some, it's peaceful."

"For others, it's a burden."

"Some let themselves go."

"Some are devoted to their country."

"Joining the Uncanny Bureau..."

"Can't give you money, can't give you power."

"Can't give you material wealth, can't give you riches."

"But we must understand, we are not living in peaceful times."

"The Uncanny invades, disasters are endless!"

"We can only be in two states."

"Fighting, and preparing to fight!"

"I can't promise you anything."

"But I can guarantee, this will be the honor of your lifetime!"

"Seize your youth, serve your country, don't waste your prime."

"With vigor and passion, like a mist!"

"The rise and fall of Daxia, every man has a responsibility!"

"In the vast sea of people."

"Do you dare to become the chosen one?"
