In the waters under the jurisdiction of Rongcheng, a ship loaded with cargo kept accelerating and sailed quickly towards the shore, as if there was something terrible chasing it behind.
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." The captain gave the order to let the ship go faster, and nervously called the crew to see if the strange beast chasing them had caught up.
"Captain, that huge beast in the sea is approaching us quickly." The crew ran into the cabin from the deck and reported to the captain.
"Damn alien beast." The captain cursed. At this time, another crew member ran into the cabin and reported to the captain.
"Captain, we are saved. It's an investigator's patrol boat. An investigator's patrol boat appeared not far from us."
"Great, the investigators have finally arrived. Now we are safe." The captain's face showed joy when he heard this. Then, he asked the crew on the ship to pay attention to the movements of the strange beasts. If there is a call from the investigators, call them immediately.
inform him.
Chasing the ship full of cargo was a huge shark. This shark was more than eight meters long, with a pale golden light shining in its eyes and full of malice.
Seeing that it was about to catch up to its target, at this moment, a patrol boat appeared on its sniper line and stopped it.
An investigator on the patrol boat slapped the shark in the water from afar.
"Boom" sound.
An explosion occurred where the shark was, and the shark in the water was blown out of the water, and then fell heavily back into the water.
"Wow."
The shark that fell into the water created a huge splash of water, which was several meters high.
Then, the blood quickly spread to the surrounding seawater, dyeing a small area of the sea red.
This ferocious shark beast with a mid-level second-level cultivation level was directly beaten to death by the investigator on the patrol boat.
"Captain, that shark beast is dead." The investigator in charge of driving the patrol boat reported the report while looking at the spiritual compass in his hand.
"I sensed that its spiritual energy fluctuations and life breath have disappeared." said the investigator who shot the shark to death.
Then, he added to his companion, "You use the communicator to contact the crew on that ship and tell them that the danger has been resolved. There is no need to increase the speed of the ship to the extreme."
"Yes." The investigator in charge of driving the patrol boat nodded, then took out the communicator from his pocket and began to contact the ship that was frantically escaping.
After making contact, the investigator explained the situation to the other party, and then the ship began to slow down.
After they dealt with the strange beasts causing trouble in this sea area, they immediately received new information from the main station, saying that there were strange beasts chasing ships in another sea area, and they were asked to go to the rescue as soon as possible.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The patrol boat turned around and headed to the sea area where another alien beast attacked the ship.
"Captain, this kind of thing is really endless. It has happened more and more frequently recently. When will the frequency be slowed down?" the investigator driving the patrol boat complained.
"If this continues, I won't be able to go home to celebrate the New Year with my family this year."
"Under the current situation, you'd better give up the idea of going home to celebrate the New Year with your family as soon as possible!" the investigator captain shook his head and said.
Although the New Year is approaching, the Rongcheng Superpower Management Bureau is still very busy.
Especially recently, in the sea area under the jurisdiction of Rongcheng, incidents of alien beasts attacking ships on the route have occurred more and more frequently, making Rongcheng Superpower Management Bureau have more and more things on their hands.
In the director's office, Xie Yurong was looking at reports one after another with a very serious expression on his face.
As the director's secretary, Han Xue stood in front of her desk without saying a word, waiting for Xie Yurong to read the report she handed in.
"In recent times, there have been more and more incidents of strange beasts in the deep sea attacking ships!" Xie Yurong said after reading one report after another.
"Director, according to the latest news, in the waters under our jurisdiction in Rongcheng, there have been at least fifteen incidents of alien beasts attacking ships in the past week," Han Xue said.
Xie Yurong raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brow, then put her hand on the desk and tapped it lightly a few times, thinking about things.
A few minutes later, she asked Han Xue, "How is the progress of the investigation team at the Psychic Research Institute?"
"Director, the progress of the investigation team is not going well. It will take some time for them to go out to sea to investigate the origin of these incoming strange beasts," Han Xue said.
"How long will it take? Give me a clear time." Xie Yurong said with some dissatisfaction.
"Um...the Psychic Research Institute can't give out the specific time. I asked Dean Wang privately, and he said it might take a month!" Han Xue said.
"One month is too long. You can call Dean Wang later and ask him to give me an answer within half a month. If there is a shortage of manpower, I will assign manpower to him," Xie Yurong said.
"Yes, I will call Dean Wang later." Han Xue nodded.
After giving the instructions, Xie Yurong picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of water. At this time, Han Xue said.
"I originally thought that I could have a peaceful New Year during the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect that because of the strange beasts in the sea, everyone might not be able to have a good New Year this year."
"The development of things is always unsatisfactory. The more we think about having a good New Year, the more the opposite result will occur." Xie Yurong said.
She has been busy with work all year round and already feels indifferent about holidays and the like, so she actually doesn't care whether she can have a relaxing New Year.
"Director, our bureau is rather short of manpower now. If Dean Wang needs us to send someone to assist them, we might as well ask Lin Fei to go over and help them! He is a busy man and has nothing to do at home now." Han
Snow said.
Xie Yurong thought for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Okay, you can contact Lin Fei about this matter. It's okay if he doesn't want to. We don't have enough manpower. I'll find a way."
As Xie Yurong's secretary, Han Xue knew that Xie Yurong was thinking of a way, possibly borrowing manpower from other cities' superpower management bureaus.
After staying in Xie Yurong's office for a while, Han Xue left.
When she returned to the office, she immediately called Dean Wang of the Psychic Research Institute.

In a bustling department store, the shops are full of joy and New Year atmosphere.
An area dedicated to selling clothes. Since the New Year is approaching, many people come here to buy clothes.
"This one, and this one, and by the way, don't forget that one. Please pack it for me." Zhou Yue pointed at Lin Fei and tried on several clothes, and said to the waitress serving at the side.
"Okay beauty, please wait a moment, I will help your boyfriend pack the clothes." The waitress said with a smile, and then took a few clothes that Lin Fei had tried on to pack, and also helped Zhou Yue to issue a ticket.
Hearing that the waitress misunderstood her relationship with Lin Fei, Zhou Yue didn't explain much. Lin Fei on the side didn't bother to explain. At this moment, he just wanted to buy clothes as soon as possible, then leave the clothes store and go home to play games.
Zhou Yue had originally agreed to accompany her to buy some clothes and then go back, but the result was! It was just as Lin Fei had expected from the beginning.
After accompanying Zhou Yue to buy a few clothes, he was dragged into a store specializing in men's clothes by Zhou Yue, and then, with Zhou Yue's persuasion, he tried on a few clothes.
"Stop being so sad, aren't we going to buy clothes soon?" Zhou Yue glanced at Lin Fei beside her and said angrily when she saw a slightly depressed expression on his face.
"I can hardly wear the clothes at home..." Lin Fei said.
"Why can't you wear it? Don't wear the same ones all the time! You can wear it by changing clothes of different styles frequently." Zhou Yue said with a smile.
"Almost all boys are like this! It's not like you girls, who change your tricks every day."
"As you said, boys nowadays also wear different clothes every day, but you are the only one who keeps staring at those two or three styles of clothes."
While Lin Fei and Zhou Yue were bickering with each other, the waitress who was helping to pack the clothes came over with a few bags and an opened list in her hands.
Lin Fei was about to check out, but was stopped by Zhou Yue, "I'll pay for these New Year's clothes as my New Year's gift to you."
After saying that, she followed the waitress to check out.
Speaking of this New Year's gift, what New Year's gift should I give to Zhou Yue and Xiaoru this year... Lin Fei looked at Zhou Yue who was going to the checkout counter and said to himself.
After a while, Zhou Yue came to Lin Fei with several bags containing clothes in her hands, and handed the bags to him with a smile.
After Lin Fei took them, he put the bags directly into the dimensional space. Then he asked, "How much do these clothes cost?"
"It's not expensive. There's a New Year discount, so the total is just over two thousand yuan." Zhou Yue said.
After the two people left the clothing store, they did not go home immediately, but went to the department store where the lottery was held.
During the New Year event, you can draw a prize if you spend over 1,000 yuan. With the receipt of consumption, consumers can go to the department store where the lottery is held to participate in the event.
This time Zhou Yue and Lin Fei spent a total of more than 6,000 yuan, and they won a total of six prizes at the lottery place.
"You're so lucky! You knew you would have asked me to come." Zhou Yue complained as she saw Lin Fei holding several large packages of napkins in his hands.
"We have several packs of napkins, do you still want to win a grand prize?" Lin Fei said.
"yes!"
"The first prize is a TV set. That TV set is not as good as the one you have at home now. It won't be useful even after you win!"
“Don’t you want to sell it on a second-hand platform that can be listed online?”
"trouble!"
The two of them left the department store while talking about the lottery just now.
After leaving the department store, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. After lunch, Zhou Yue and I walked around the department store for almost three hours. The shopping time went by really fast.

In a park in the West District, a group of elderly men gathered around a stone table and watched two people playing chess.
There are two people playing chess, one is an old man with white hair, and the other is a little boy who has just entered the second grade of elementary school.
The two sides were playing chess, back and forth, and the situation was very intense.
However, the little boy's chess skills were obviously better. As the situation developed, he finally won the final victory in the chess game.
"Xiao Qi, your chess skills seem to have improved a lot recently!" The old man who lost the chess game did not feel any sense of failure. Instead, he smiled and said to Qise Hua, who had turned into a human.
"It's okay! I haven't played chess for a while recently, and I feel a lot more rusty. But your chess skills have improved a lot. If I had been careless during the chess game just now, I would have lost."
Qisehua said.
"In order to beat you, this old guy spent a lot of time practicing with us, but unfortunately he still lost to you..." The old men watching around laughed.
"Chirp, chirp...that human being is indeed much more powerful than before."
"Chirping...if he maintains this state and continues to improve, Qisehua will not be able to defeat him in the future."
"Chirping... Let's practice with the colorful flower later. We can't let the colorful flower lose to that human."
On the big tree, three little sparrows stood on the branches watching the battle, discussing in low voices.
The sun was about to set in the sky, and the old men who came to the park to play chess were also going home for dinner. They said goodbye to the colorful flowers and left the park.
After Qisehua said goodbye to the old men and walked on the deserted gravel road, three little sparrows flew down from the branches of the big tree and landed on Qisehua's shoulders and head respectively.
"Chirping... Qisehua, do we want to go home now?" asked the sparrow boss.
"Don't worry, I have an appointment with a friend. I will meet her before going back." Qisehua said.
"Chirp, chirp...is that the woman named Jiang Lingyu?" asked the second child of the sparrow.
"Chirp...it must be! Apart from that woman, how can Qise Hua have any human friends?" said the third sparrow.
"What do you mean, apart from that woman, I have no other human friends. Isn't Lin Fei a human friend?" Qisehua retorted.
Afterwards, Qisehua left the park where she was playing chess with others, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and headed to a place near the suburbs.
Jiang Lingyu, who hunted a strange beast in the wild this morning as usual, returned home to rest in the afternoon.
After waking up from a short nap, she contacted her fellow villager on her mobile phone and made an appointment to meet him. There was something she wanted to talk to him about in person.
Jiang Lingyu came out of her home and arrived at the agreed place. There were still ten minutes left before the agreed meeting time. She sat on a bench in the park and waited quietly.
Not long after, a short figure walked out of the bamboo forest in the distance.
