âAlright, Fan Mo. We will give you an ID related to the City Hunters Team later,â Captain Xu Dahuang said.
âThereâs an ID?â Mo Fan asked, feeling a bit stunned.
âOf course!â Feishi explained as he kept smiling, âThis ID has quite a few privileges, you are now equivalent to a enforcement officer within Bo City!â
âYouâre saying that I have now become an honorable enforcement officer?â Mo Fan asked, as he creased his brow.
âHahaha, we are precisely City Officers!â Li Wenjie suddenly laughed. Only after he stopped laughing did he continue, âThe only difference is that we donât deal with those law-breaking peddlers nor profiteers, we deal with the things that emerge at night!â
A City Officer of Bo City?
Mo Fan couldnât help but smile a little. This position was quite to his own liking; it had a whiff of being Spiderman, The Flash, or Iron Man, a hero that was supposed to save this chaotic city. While at same time, he could be mysterious as he flirted with girls!
Mo Fan quickly blended in with the mood. Fei Shi, the older brother who had the most experience, introduced the squadâs current state of affairs as well as their primary responsibilities.
âHello⌠What, why didnât you report this to me earlier? What kind of global joke are you making, those police officers are completely useless!â While they were happily discussing things, the Captain Xu Dahuang roared into his phone.
Li Wenjie, Xiao Ke, Feishi and the people who were happily talking to Mo Fan suddenly changed expressions as their gaze fixed on Captain Xu Dahuang.
At this time, Fei Shi creased his brow as he whispered to the suspicious Mo Fan, âOriginally, we wanted to take you out for some drinks. Who wouldâve thought that the second you joined us, we would be assigned work! If we arenât wrong, then itâs most likely the Cafeteriaâs Quaking Door of Mingwen Girlâs Middle School.â
âThe Cafeteriaâs Quaking Door?â Mo Fanâs eyes widened.
He had heard of quaking cars, quaking water, quaking fields, but it was his first time hearing about freaking quaking doors. _You city people sure know how to have fun!_
âBrother, you are too wicked⌠Itâs not what you think it is. Every night, the schoolâs cafeteria would experience some strange quaking. In the beginning, they thought it was some construction team working in the middle of the night. After that, they dispatched people to check and the report said there was no construction team. Instead, there was a strange story that has been passed down through the Mingwen Girls Middle School,â Fei Shi explained to Mo Fan in a whisper.
âDid you say Mingwen Girls Middle School?â Mo Fan suddenly realized something before he inquired further.
âYes, itâs a girls-only school, even the teachers⌠_tsk, cough_ â Fei Shi returned to being serious.
Mo Fan was unable to have sexual fantasies about it. Ye Xinxia was at precisely that girlâs school. Thinking back on it, roughly two months ago when he was on phone with Ye Xinxia, she had told him that her cafeteria was really scary.
âAlright, letâs make use of the time when the students arenât studying to immediately resolve the issue!â Captain Xu Dahuang said.
Putting down the phone in his hand, Xu Dahuangâs face was no longer smiling.
Li Wenjie, Xiao Ke, Guo Caitang, and Feishi; all four peopleâs eyes were all fixed on their captain.
âThere has been an accident. A second girl has gone missing,â Xu Dahuang said with a calm voice.
Everyoneâs brows creased.
A few months earlier, there was a girl who went missing at Mingwen Girls Middle School. Due to the school being unable to determine whether the girl had disappeared on the school grounds, this matter had been handled by the police. After a few months, there still hadnât been a single clue.
This matter had been in the morning newspapers, but everyone was quick to forget. The city had millions of people, and someone disappearing was not something strange to the police at all.
Xu Dahuang and his team had made a trip to the Mingwen Girls Middle School once before. The school, however, didnât want to make this into a big ordeal. Thus, they didnât want to let the City Hunters do anything, leaving the matter completely unsettled. Who wouldâve known that half a year later, thereâd be yet another girl gone missing. This time, she had actually gone missing within the school grounds.
The school finally realized that this was a big problem, and they urgently got in contact with the City Hunter Team.
âCaptain, if someone were to go missing, shouldnât they still just contact the police?â Xiao Ke opened her mouth to ask.
âA Light Mage found some footprints that didnât belong to humans.â Xu Dahuang said solemnly.
Everyone else immediately turned silent, except for Li Wenjie, who seemed to be bursting with life. It was evident that he felt happy about having work to do.
âThey contacted us a week after it happened; they really are a group of morons. If they had contacted us immediately, then perhaps we could have found the missing girl. Now that it has been this long, that girl is definitely gone!â
âSome schools are like that. Everyone wants to hide the bad things, but once they realize they cannot hide it, thatâs when they know itâs a real problem!â Guo Caitang said coldly.
As Mo Fan heard everyone talking, his heart began to beat harshly.
Missing for a month?
Ye Xinxia hadnât contacted him for a whole week!
Due to him not having the money to buy a mobile, Mo Fan had always used the old telephone booth to call Ye Xinxiaâs mobile. He would talk to her at least once a week.
He had just returned from Practicals and his heart was filled with how to increase his own strength. Thus, he forgot to check in with Ye Xinxia!
Aunt Mo Qingâs house was near Mingwen Girls Middle School. Even during summer break, Ye Xinxia would spend the majority of her time immersed within the schoolâs library, since it was extremely inconvenient for her to walk to begin withâŚ
As Mo Fan thought more about it, his heart grew increasingly more panicked. He urgently borrowed a phone from Fei Shi.
â _The number you have called is unavailable_.â
Mo Fanâs heart jumped.
âI will reunite with you guys in a bit!â Not saying anything further, Mo Fan dashed out of the Hall of the Hunterâs Union.
âHey, wait! In any case, take my phone with you, this way we can contact you easier!â Fei Shi yelled toward Mo Fan.
As he yelled out, Fei Shi tossed his phone toward the running Mo Fan.
âBrother, isnât it a bit dangerous when you throw your phone like that? What if that kid didnât catch it?â
âDonât worry, thatâs a Nokia. It wonât break.â
âBrother, I meant as in what if you crushed him to death!â
ââŚâ
âWhatâs wrong, why does your face suddenly look so bad?â
âThe gods know, no matter what, we should start doing our work.â
