A new day dawned, bright and sunny.

Today was a good day because Zhou Yong called to say the bonus had been approved.

A total of 1.2 million, split seventy-thirty, meant Jiang Che could get 840,000.

Adding the 200,000 from the university and 500,000 from the Uncanny Bureau, that totaled 1.54 million!

This money was too easy to earn...

After lunch, Zhuge Ye rented a shared bike and took Jiang Che to the Uncanny Bureau.

Save where you can, spend where you should. After all, Jiang Che didn't have to spend money or effort, so why not?

With sparks flying, they arrived at the Uncanny Bureau.

Seven people were casually standing or sitting in the lobby.

Seeing Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye enter, Yan Yibing smiled and said, "You're here."

Jiang Che: "Yeah, my bonus..."

Yan Yibing: "Since everyone is here today, let's introduce ourselves."

Interrupting Jiang Che, Yan Yibing continued, "You all should know Zhou Yong, he's our team's support."

Zhou Yong raised an eyebrow.

"You should also be familiar with Hong Ling, she's our team's damage dealer."

Hong Ling sat on the table, swinging her legs. Today, she was wearing black stockings... and garters!

"This is Xiao Yuan, a sharpshooter."

Xiao Yuan adjusted his glasses and grinned.

"Jing Xiaolan, mainly responsible for logistics and medical aid."

With two ponytails, a cute appearance, and a bit of baby fat, Jing Xiaolan said with a smile, "Nice to meet you all."

Jiang Che: "How nice?"

Zhuge Ye: "Aren't you afraid of being happy too soon?"

Jing Xiaolan: "Huh? This, uh? Eh?"

Yan Yibing cleared his throat and continued introducing the other three people.

Su Jingshuo, a very delicate young man, specializes in psychic attacks.

Qin Li, the person Jiang Che and the others saw being "killed" by Hong Ling that day, mainly responsible for taking hits for the team, essentially the team's tank.

The last one, wearing a pleated skirt and sleeping soundly on a chair, like Zhuge Ye, had a compound surname, Nangong Xiaoxiao.

It's said that due to the ghostly spirit within her, she became very sleepy, so she didn't have a specific responsibility, relying on improvisation during battles.

This is 3033, the Uncanny Squad!

After introducing everyone, Yan Yibing took out a document for Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye to sign.

This was the document for receiving the bonus. After signing, the money would be transferred to their accounts within three working days.

After the formalities, Yan Yibing mentioned the incident at Sunshine Mall a few days ago.

Besides Infinite Terror, three Illuminati stewards appeared that day.

The third seat's "Shadow Ghost Servant," the sixteenth seat's "Void," and the nineteenth seat's "Corpse Craftsman."

It was their appearance that restrained Yan Yibing and the others, preventing timely support.

Jiang Che had heard a bit about this so-called Illuminati.

Their slogan was: Fight for the Light.

But every time the Illuminati appeared, they brought disaster.

A ridiculous slogan.

It's just a cult.

After discussing this, Yan Yibing smiled and continued, "So, have the people from Tsinghua and Peking University contacted you?"

The two nodded.

Yan Yibing: "No rush, there's still over a month before school starts. You might end up choosing to join the Uncanny Bureau, right?"

Jiang Che: "The likelihood of that..."

Zhuge Ye: "Is like Guo Degang's height."

Yan Yibing: "Hmm?"

Zhuge Ye: "Very low."

"......"

Yan Yibing chuckled awkwardly, "I've already warned the Ye family, Ye Changqing won't bother you for a while."

"But this isn't a long-term solution. The hatred of killing a daughter must be avenged."

Jiang Che: "Yang Ziyang killed the person."

Yan Yibing: "So he might get someone else to harm your sister, and then claim it wasn't him, Ye Changqing, who did it."

"!!!"

Jiang Che suddenly tensed up.

Seeing this, Yan Yibing said, "Everyone has attachments and obsessions, which are our weaknesses but also our mental support."

"This is also the most representative human emotion."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone protect your sister during this time."

Jiang Che exhaled deeply and asked, "So? Do I need to join the Uncanny Bureau?"

Yan Yibing chuckled, "Maybe Zhou Yong didn't explain clearly. Joining the Uncanny Bureau isn't as simple as you think."

"Many people want to join the Uncanny Bureau year-round, but after rigorous selection, very few make it."

"The form Hong Ling had you fill out was just an application, not a guarantee of joining."

"Do you know why, despite the dangers, so many people want to join the Uncanny Bureau?"

Jiang Che shook his head.

Zhuge Ye followed suit.

Yan Yibing: "Besides passion and dreams, there's another important reason."

"After joining the Uncanny Bureau, they provide a Taboo Object to protect our families."

"In fact, most people join the Uncanny Bureau to obtain this Taboo Object."

Yan Yibing had made it clear.

Jiang Che understood that even if he wiped out the Ye family, there would still be random Uncanny incidents.

Like this time...

And even without a sister.

He couldn't possibly never marry or have children in his lifetime, right?

People always have attachments and bonds.

To protect all of this, there are only two things.

Either have absolute strength.

Or have absolute protection.

At this moment, Yan Yibing continued, "This afternoon at 3, there's an Uncanny Trial for the Uncanny Bureau qualification selection."

"Isn't it a coincidence? I happen to have two spots."

"Of course, this is just a qualification selection trial, completing the task doesn't mean you can join the Uncanny Bureau."

"And before officially joining, you can back out at any time."

"You two, make your own decision."

Yan Yibing placed two documents in front of them, then leaned back tactically, waiting for Jiang Che's response.

After a while.

Jiang Che picked up the pen and signed his name.

Seeing this, Zhuge Ye quickly scribbled his artistic signature.

Yan Yibing nodded, "Then I wish you good luck."

"Just about time, Hong Ling, take these two to the combat room."

"Alright." Hong Ling nodded, then beckoned to Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye, "You two little guys, follow me."

Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye exchanged a glance and followed.

After they left, Zhou Yong scratched his head and said, "Captain, has the system changed? Isn't it enough to have your endorsement to join the Uncanny Bureau?"

"And wasn't that Taboo Object something you personally paid for?"

Yan Yibing smiled without saying a word.

Jing Xiaolan wrinkled her nose at Zhou Yong and said, "Brother Yong, you're so dumb! This is the captain's trick, didn't you see through it?"

Zhou Yong: "What the hell?"

Xiao Yuan walked over, patted Zhou Yong's shoulder, and said seriously, "Last time I told you to drink six walnuts, did you?"

Zhou Yong: "..."

"No, Brother Yong should drink brain platinum now," Qin Li corrected.

Zhou Yong took a deep breath, "You all go to hell!"
