Chapter 100

"Ah..."

The transformed man roared, his spiritual energy suddenly bursting forth, a faint golden light covering his entire body, his veins bulging. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch.

"Hurry up! The investigator is coming towards us." Long Jiu saw Lin Fei walking towards them from the corner of his eye.

"Shut up, you idiot, I can't break his mental force restraint. We're screwed now. If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have agreed to be your bodyguard even if you paid me ten times the price." The transformed man cursed, the light around his body fading as the effort had drained all his spiritual energy.

Lin Fei approached the transformed man, reached out, and took the spiritual weapon knife from his hand, holding it as if he were about to stab him in the chest.

"No! Investigator, please spare me, spare me." The transformed man screamed when he saw Lin Fei's action.

"You didn't think about sparing me when you ambushed me from behind. If that knife had hit, I would have been dead!" Lin Fei laughed, pressing the knife against the transformed man's chest.

"Don't kill me. You're an investigator, you can't harm someone who has lost their ability to resist." The transformed man's face turned pale as he shouted.

"Sorry, I'm not an investigator, so you're going to die! Be a good person in your next life." Lin Fei said, the spiritual weapon knife in his hand glowing brightly like a torch.

"No." The transformed man, seeing Lin Fei's cold eyes and feeling the spiritual energy waves from the knife, fainted on the spot.

Lin Fei, seeing that his little joke had scared the man unconscious, turned to Long Jiu and said, "The bodyguard you hired is too weak! He fainted from a little joke."

"The investigator is right, this guy is a coward. I was blind to hire him." Long Jiu swallowed hard.

"Little joke? I thought the investigator was really going to stab him." A girl said.

"I thought so too." Her boyfriend said.

"He would have been stabbed if the investigator hadn't reacted quickly. That ambush could have been fatal." Someone said.

"True to form, the investigator didn't let his emotions get the better of him and spared the criminal." A girl praised.

Lin Fei felt very pleased hearing the praise from the crowd.

Snap.

Lin Fei snapped his fingers, releasing the transformed man and Long Jiu from their restraints. The two collapsed on the ground, with no intention of getting up or escaping.

"The target has been captured, we can wrap up now." Lin Fei opened his earpiece and contacted his teammates.

A moment later, the team members arrived, and Han Xue, looking at the two collapsed on the ground, asked, "Why is Long Jiu wearing women's clothes?"

"Ask Long Jiu yourself. I believe he will confess everything. As for the transformed man, cuff him first. He was hiding his true strength, which should be at the initial stage of the third rank." Lin Fei said.

Everyone was surprised by Lin Fei's words, finding it incredible that he had so easily dealt with a third-rank practitioner.

"Nice work, you managed to take down a third-rank practitioner so quickly." Tang Anchen smiled.

"Not bad, the guy was too weak. If it were you, you could have easily defeated him too." Lin Fei said modestly.

"Alright, we can wrap up now. Leave the rest to the colleagues outside. We'll take Long Jiu back, and of course, this unexpected third-rank catch as well." Han Xue said.

...

Lin Fei watched as Long Jiu and the transformed man were loaded onto the transport vehicle. He whispered to Han Xue, "The mission is over, I'm leaving. I'll send you my account number later, don't forget to transfer the fee."

"Got it, we won't delay your payment. The Abnormal Ability Administration is a legitimate department." Han Xue rolled her eyes.

"Then I'm off." Lin Fei smiled.

Han Xue watched as Lin Fei walked across the street, then turned to Tang Anchen and the others. "Let's head back to the bureau."

...

"Director, the mission is complete, and we even caught a third-rank practitioner." Han Xue reported in Xie Yurong's office.

"Good. In the future, take them on more missions to help them get into the swing of things quickly." Xie Yurong said.

"Already?" Han Xue asked.

"Can't help it. The higher-ups have issued a dispatch order, and we need to prepare in advance. Once the date is set, I'll have to lead a team to reinforce." Xie Yurong said.

"Is the situation in the First Town deteriorating again?" Han Xue asked.

"Not yet, it's still the same. A few minor threats come by every few days. I'll find out the specific reasons once I get to the First Town." Xie Yurong said.

...

In the following days, Lin Fei was called to the Abnormal Ability Administration every afternoon to participate in their missions.

"The Abnormal Ability Administration must have too much money. They keep calling me for such simple tasks. What a waste." Lin Fei thought.

It was the last day of 2018. After completing the mission, Lin Fei was about to go home as usual when Han Xue stopped him.

After returning to the Abnormal Ability Administration with everyone, Han Xue led them to a meeting room.

"Today, the director is holding a meeting. All investigators of the advanced second rank and above must attend, no exceptions." Han Xue said.

Everyone in Lin Fei's team met this criterion, so they all had to attend the meeting.

When they entered the meeting room, they found that they were the last to arrive, so they sat in the back row.

"Tang, this is the first time I've seen so many advanced second-rank practitioners gathered together." Zhao Haichang whispered.

"Me too." Tang Anchen said.

"I just took a quick look. There are about 300 people here, quite a lot!" Ding Hui said.

"Lao Ding, considering Rongcheng is a city with a population of millions, I think this number is a bit small." Su Lijun, a peak second-rank practitioner with water therapy abilities, laughed.

He was the only one in the team with a healing ability.

"Everyone is here, let's start the meeting." Xie Yurong's voice echoed in the meeting room.

"I've called everyone back from the various branches to announce something.

The headquarters has issued an order for our Rongcheng Abnormal Ability Administration to send a team of advanced second-rank practitioners to the First Town for support. The team will consist of 50 people.

This mission may involve crossing the boundary to the Spirit World, and the risk is quite high.

However, after the mission is completed, the bureau will reward everyone with spirit stones and training opportunities in the Sixth Town."
