Chapter 68 Extraordinary Individuals
An alien monster enraged by the destruction of its hunting tools.
The Bureau of Paranormal Investigations team, which had been investigating the incident for nearly a month, was also eager to get to the bottom of it.
The encounter between the two sides in the storm was like a bolt from the blue, and Yu Jing and his two companions, who had started the trouble, ended up watching the show.
They took shelter under the shop signs on the street to avoid the rain, and leisurely observed the rapidly escalating battlefield.
Faced with the siege, the terrifying behemoth with its narrow space had no intention of escaping. The fin-like structures on both sides of its body swung rapidly, stirring up the wind and rain, as it charged towards the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations below.
On the other hand, the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations was equally determined. After all, it was a special agency backed by the Guangsha Municipal Government and dedicated to handling paranormal events. Even when faced with such a terrifying behemoth, it still demonstrated extremely high combat skills.
Needless to say, the weapons and equipment are all top-notch products specially supplied by major arms manufacturers.
What truly caught Yu Jing's attention were a very few experts, or rather, extraordinary individuals, within the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations team!
In the intervals between the bombardments, Yu Jing witnessed someone leaping into the air by stepping on the courtyard wall outside the guesthouse, heading straight for the monster that was roaming in the wind and rain.
Within his spiritual vision, the man was enveloped in a swirling azure wind, and the artifact in his hand surged with immense spiritual energy. Upon approaching the monster, he unhesitatingly entered the narrow crevice within its body, demonstrating his confidence in his own strength.
Without a doubt, this must be a pillar of the Bureau of Investigation.
To be honest, Yu Jing really wanted to know what this person could do in the narrow space.
If he could, he would even like to sneak in and help out.
If we can defeat this level of alien monster, the rewards will definitely be substantial. Maybe the Torch Watch can even collect some gold talent points?
Unfortunately, the area around the guesthouse was crowded with people from the Bureau of Investigation, and the Terrorist Response Team continued to arrive as reinforcements.
If Yu Jing rushed out at this moment, he would most likely be detained as someone interfering with the operation.
"We should go; staying here will only cause trouble."
As more and more red and blue warning lights approached from the other side of the street, Qinggui spoke up to warn them.
While the identification badges issued by the Explorers Headquarters can help them avoid a lot of trouble, in an incident of this magnitude, staying at the scene means being invited to the Bureau of Investigation for questioning and subjected to various time-consuming and energy-draining interrogations.
It would be better to leave first and then contact the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations by phone in a couple of days to collect the reward.
Even if the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations still wants to talk to them, they can use the excuse that they are about to go on an exploration trip to another world to get out of it.
After all, they were key figures in helping the Bureau of Investigation resolve this incident, and the latter wouldn't really do anything to them.
With this in mind, Yu Jing gave up the idea of staying to watch the show and instead quietly left along the alley with Qing Gui and the mercenaries.
Considering that the three had just finished a chaotic battle and were all severely depleted of their physical strength, and were more or less carrying some injuries, it was obviously not appropriate for them to travel in the rain, as it could easily cause secondary infection of their wounds.
Therefore, the mercenary suggested that they find a place to treat the wound first.
Unfortunately, the extreme weather caused nearby clinics and pharmacies to temporarily close.
After wandering around the area for a while, we finally decided to take a short break at a convenience store two blocks away from the guesthouse.
The robot store manager, consisting only of the upper body, was checking the merchandise behind the counter when he watched three fully armed "desperados" covered in blood walk into the store one after another. He only had time to say "Welcome."
The body of the commissioned target had been stuffed into a body bag prepared in advance by the Blue Demon. In order to avoid entering the monitored area and causing trouble, it was temporarily placed outside the store. Anyway, no ordinary people would come to buy things in the storm at this time.
Since Aoki was the least injured of the three, she temporarily acted as a medical worker, using the first-aid kit that had been stored in the motorcycle's trunk to treat the other two's wounds.
Fortunately, the Rain Demon's attack methods are limited, and most of the wounds it inflicts are superficial.
After simple disinfection and proper bandaging, it should last for a while, at least until I go to the clinic tomorrow without any major problems.
The first mercenary to finish bandaging threw his wet coat aside, got up, and grabbed a few packets of instant noodles from the nearby shelf.
Convenience stores have self-service instant noodle cooking machines where you can choose your own toppings like sausages and meat rolls, which taste much better than cup noodles.
The mercenary turned around and asked Qing Gui and Yu Jing what flavor of instant noodles and toppings they wanted. After that, he opened a can of soda and leaned against the machine waiting for the noodles to cook. After a brief silence, he couldn't help but sigh.
"That was really dangerous. I almost got trapped. If I had gone into that thing's stomach, it would have been hard to get out... Damn, I'd only ever heard of narrow spaces before, but I never expected to encounter something this outrageous for the first time."
The development of this commission was indeed somewhat beyond the mercenaries' expectations.
Although he was pleased with the efficiency of resolving the matter smoothly by evening, despite only meeting in the afternoon to discuss the commission, the level of danger involved still made him break out in a cold sweat, and he still feels a bit scared when he thinks back on it.
"Are there still living beings in such narrow spaces?"
Holding a bag of pork jerky, Yu Jing turned to the green ghost beside him and asked.
"This is the first time I've encountered this either, but as the beginner's guide says, exotic products always have all sorts of strange characteristics, and the Narrow Space is probably no exception. You'll get used to it."
After applying the medicine and securing the bandage for Yu Jing, Qing Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if making a decision, he spoke.
"I think the compensation distribution ratio needs to be adjusted this time. Yu Jing, you should take the largest share."
According to the agreement reached by the three of them last night at Fengbo Village, the distribution ratio of the remuneration is 433.
As the initiator of this collaboration and the provider of the commissioned intelligence, Aoki naturally received the largest share.
However, Qinggui noticed the crucial information Yu Jing provided in the afternoon and his performance at the guesthouse. After carefully considering the matter while helping to treat the wounds, he finally decided to change the distribution ratio of the reward.
It's not that the Blue Demon is particularly upright and fair, but rather that she saw a greater benefit.
Whether it was the mercenary or Yu Jing, after these two collaborations, she could feel that both of them were reliable partners, and they had accumulated some friendship with each other. There might be opportunities to cooperate on explorations in other lands in the future.
She didn't want her greed or wrong choice to cause discord within the team, or even cause it to fall apart.
To put it bluntly, if she insists on taking the largest share, regardless of whether Yu Jing will accept it, it will probably not be so easy for her to cooperate with these two in the future.
"I agree, Yu Jing deserves the largest share for her contributions."
After the Blue Demon expressed his opinion, the mercenaries followed suit.
In fact, he had wanted to say that earlier, but he was just waiting for Ao-Oni, the one who initiated the request, to speak first.
