Chapter 66: A Huge Pit, a Conversation at the Edge of the Abyss

Xingchuan University.

The restless and panicked crowd was stabilized by the arrival of a large number of law enforcement officers.

The mutant humans were controlled and the injured were sent to the hospital.

The turmoil in the school was quickly suppressed. There were hundreds of teachers and students who mutated out of control, and the number of injured reached four digits. Fortunately, the death toll was controlled at more than a dozen.

However, two things attracted the attention of the law enforcement officers and were reported to the leaders of the Law Enforcement Department and the Yong'an Municipal Government.

The first thing was that they found that the injured ordinary people did not show any signs of further mutation. After further observation, they were still the same as normal people.

The second thing was that when they appeared in the lobby on the first floor of the third female dormitory building and planned to rescue the trapped students, they were surprised to find that there were more than a dozen mutant girls who fainted everywhere.

And among these mutant humans, there was a woman who was quiet and elegant, wearing delicate glasses.

The woman looked dazed and had a fear on her face.

It is hard to believe that such a woman who looks like a bookish person and is powerless can be unscathed when surrounded by a group of mutant humans.

To be on the safe side, the law enforcement officers took the girl to the hospital for routine examination.

No matter how the girl explained that she was fine and that she had an uncle who was the director of the Criminal Investigation Department, she could not stop the fact that she had to undergo medical isolation observation.

......

Abandoned factory on Longxi Road, Dongcheng District, Yong'an City.

In the night, the cordon blocked the entire abandoned factory, and there were armored vehicles and law enforcement vehicles with real guns and live ammunition surrounding it, and onlookers were not allowed to enter.

There were not many people who came to join in the fun, and those who came were also some young people who were not afraid of death. Only they dared to try to visit the scene after such a shocking movement.

"Director Xia, does the Criminal Investigation Department know why your Inspector You came here to send out a distress signal and disappeared?" said a middle-aged man with sharp eyes like an eagle and awe-inspiring without anger.

The man called Director Xia was a gentleman in a suit and tie, wearing single-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses.

Director Xia looked at the middle-aged man, "Rather than this, I want to ask you, Director Fu, why did the law enforcers arrive so late and miss the best time for rescue."

Director Xia adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "Besides, there was so much noise here, didn't the law enforcers find any suspicious people when they arrived?"

Director Fu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "There are frequent strange things happening at Xingchuan University, and most of the law enforcers are deployed there. And this factory is located in a remote area. When the law enforcers arrived, there was only a messy scene..."

"And... this terrifying huge pit."

The two were standing on the edge of a circular pit wider than a basketball court. The pit was bottomless and there was only darkness, as if it led to the abyss of hell.

This huge pit was the remains formed after the black goat kid disappeared.

Director Fu turned his head and looked at the pit. There seemed to be a strange gravity in it that was inducing him to jump down.

He swallowed and took two steps back.

Director Xia touched his chin and said slowly: "This pit should be at least hundreds of meters deep, and the drone just released lost contact after diving to about 150 meters, which shows that it is not something we can handle."

"But I can share with you some of the information learned by the Criminal Investigation Department."

Director Xia continued: "According to the surveillance, at 5 pm, a female professor of Xingchuan University avoided the eyes and ears of law enforcement officers and secretly left the school without authorization, heading to Longxi Road in Dongcheng District."

"Then at 5:10, You Rui left the campus through normal procedures and followed the path of the female professor, but did not inform his superiors and colleagues. Oh, by the way, the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary."

"So, the female professor should have been here too."

Fu The director's face was slightly moved: "Did she kill You Rui?"

Director Xia shook his head: "It's not certain. Maybe she found that You Rui had mutated so she defended herself. But except for You Rui's belongings, no trace of the female professor was found at the scene. Unfortunately, there is no surveillance here."

"More importantly..."

"There were traces of battle suspected to be 'Nyx' at the scene!"

"I just don't know what kind of monster was fighting with 'Nyx'."

"Maybe 'Nyx' and the monster that made a sheep's cry fell into this pit and will never get out. If that's the case, then I can really sleep well."

Director Fu sighed, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started to smoke.

He said solemnly: "The current complexity of Yong'an City has far exceeded the scope of what you and I can handle - whether it is the deep pit in this factory or the spider of 'Nyx'."

"However, this dark moment will not last too long. Soon! The Federal Secret Guarding Bureau will move into Yong'an City!"

Director Xia's eyes lit up: "Federal Secret Guarding Bureau? Is it the organization that specializes in handling strange, secret and other special events?"

Director Fu nodded, "Yes, as early as when 'Xingtian' was defeated, the mayor and I applied to the Federation, but due to the recent concentration of strange events in the Federation, the Secret Guarding Bureau is short of staff, and now it is arranged to Yong'an City."

"Huh~"

Heard this, Director Xia heaved a long sigh of relief, "Great, the dawn is finally coming. I've been suffering from insomnia for too long recently, always worried about my niece encountering some danger in Xingchuan University."

Heard this, Director Fu's expression suddenly became strange: "Your niece... is she afraid of danger?"

"I have some impression of her. I heard from my subordinates that she survived alone in school when she faced more than a dozen mutated and out-of-control humans."

Director Xia's eyes under the lenses could not see the meaning, but he just responded calmly: "Oh, really?"

"Although my Qimeng is a little girl, she has learned Chinese martial arts, karate, and taekwondo since she was a child. She is proficient in all kinds of self-defense and grappling techniques. It's reasonable for her to survive from more than a dozen mutated humans, right?"

Director Fu stared at Director Xia, but saw that the latter was serious and had no intention of joking at all.

"But she was unharmed!"

"Besides, I've seen the photos. How could such a delicate and frail girl beat a dozen mutant humans to a pulp?"

Director Xia smiled politely and said, "That's because you don't know her family background."
