The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

After representatives from various countries arrived, the "opening dinner" of the Asian Anti-Weird Research Association officially began. Although there was no "Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji" dance performance, which is South Korea's favorite, many cultural and artistic performances with the characteristics of the Great China were arranged.

It's a pity that these programs are supposed to reflect national characteristics, and secondly, have positive energy and educational significance. The combination of the two is incongruous. It may be attractive to foreign friends who have never seen it, but it is a boring torture for domestic agents.

If it were any other time, Shen Ge would definitely say "It's a great sleep aid", but this time he came here to catch Manager Chen, so he naturally couldn't let his guard down.

In addition to Shen Ge, there were Deng Yuqi, Fang Mingyue, and several investigators she arranged to investigate Manager Chen. They were paying attention to the situation around them. The others were similar to Wang Han. No matter how hard the performances on stage were, they had little interest in them and were just barely holding on because of their status.

After all, this is the home court of the great Celestial Empire. If they don't even give face to their own people, wouldn't this be a joke to agents from other countries?
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Shen Ge's mind -

[A 5th-level monster (feature: three heads and six arms) has been found. He is good at hiding his aura and uses special weird equipment for disguise. Please try to find his trace through "scan" and "weird eye". ]

[Triggers the crisis mission - "Hunting the Monster". This monster (characteristic: three heads and six arms) has the ability to create multiple strange spaces. Please subdue it before it releases strange spaces and a large number of weird things. ]

【Time limit: ——Two hours. 】

[Reward: Feature Enhancement Point x1, System Point x1000. ]

"?"

Shen Ge immediately perked up. On the one hand, he didn't expect that the system would be so powerful for once and actually be able to discover the hidden monster; on the other hand, after discovering the monster, the system was so considerate as to give him a crisis mission and reward him with some long-lost "characteristic enhancement points".

You know, as it becomes harder and harder to improve your rating, it's also more difficult to obtain feature enhancement points. Shen Ge has to analyze for a long time which mysterious domain to improve when he gets a few feature enhancement points before he's willing to use them. Now that he's directly given one point for a crisis mission, it's undoubtedly like giving someone a pillow when they're sleepy.

There have been cases in the past where crisis missions gave trait enhancement points, but each mission was extremely tricky, which was enough to show that this time the Level 5 monster was not easy to catch.

Shen Ge raised his glass and clinked it with Deng Yuqi's. The other party immediately understood what he meant. While drinking, the two of them looked around, looking for suspicious people.

"What did you find?" Deng Yuqi asked in a low voice, hiding behind the wine glass.

She had been working with Shen Ge for such a long time that they had already developed a tacit understanding, and after getting to know each other, she also knew some of Shen Ge's habits.

At least under normal circumstances, he would definitely not take the initiative to drink and "toast" to her as his leader.

Shen Ge also replied in a low voice: "Have you noticed any suspicious people appearing or new people entering the party since the beginning of the banquet?"

Shen Ge believed that the system had only just discovered the presence of the weirdo, and the possibility that the other party had just entered the venue was much greater than the possibility that he had been hiding in the venue and was only detected at this time.

Although he had been paying close attention to the movements around him, he had not spotted any suspicious people except the waiters coming in and out.

As for someone like Manager Chen, it is somewhat unreasonable to pretend to be a waiter, not to mention that their target is the things that Sakura brought this time. This is a dinner party, and it is unlikely that Sakura's people will bring the things to the dinner venue. Instead, they will wait until the Asian Anti-Weird Research Association is held and bring them directly to the venue.

Therefore, if the target of the Monster Organization is really something in the hands of Sakura Country, then it would be more reliable to attack the place where they live rather than taking action at the banquet venue.

In order to prevent the Monster Organization from really attacking the hotel where the representatives of the Sakura Country were staying and "stealing" things during the dinner, Deng Yuqi and Fang Mingyue arranged people to guard around the hotel, and also set up a dragnet in the hotel, just waiting to catch the turtle in the jar.

"Waiter? The only ones who can enter freely during this time period should be the waiters. In order to find that person, Fang Mingyue asked Mr. Fang to arrange a lot of spies. If the representatives of other countries and the strange agents take any action at this time, they will definitely be noticed." Deng Yuqi replied.

Deng Yuqi’s idea was almost the same as Shen Ge’s, but now the system had issued a warning, which meant that the other party had successfully sneaked in.

According to Shen Ge's guess, there are only three possibilities. One is that the target of the monster organization is not actually the things in the hands of the Sakura Country, so they did not choose to attack the hotel, but planned to cause trouble at the dinner party, which is similar to the Asian Anti-Monster Research Conference held by the Korean country;
The second possibility is that the other party wants to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, and attack at the dinner and the hotel at the same time. As long as we can pin down Shen Ge, the possibility of success will be greatly increased.

The third possibility is also the one that Shen Ge least wants to see - that is, the representative from Sakura Country who came to attend the banquet brought that thing with him.

In fact, no one knows what the Sakura Country brought. They just intentionally revealed information about how to deal with weirdness and a special weird corpse that could lead to a major breakthrough in weirdness research. But it's hard to say there's no "smoke" involved.

But if it is a strange corpse, or a strange equipment, then in terms of "size", it should not be something that can be carried around casually.

"You pay attention to the situation here. If you find anything, tell me through the communicator and I'll go out and take a look." Shen Ge said.

Deng Yuqi nodded, and was about to ask Shen Ge what reason he planned to use to go out, when he saw Shen Ge stand up openly and walk towards the exit.

You have to know that Shen Ge's identity is there. At least half of the people at the dinner have heard of his title as "the first pair of weird detectives in the Great Celestial Empire". At this time, they are all observing his every move openly and secretly. His standing up immediately attracted attention.

When Shen Ge walked to the exit, the hotel manager and waiter immediately came up to him and asked if he needed help. He waved his hand and walked out of the exit, leaving a bunch of people staring at him with confused faces.

"The first pair of weird detectives in the great Celestial Empire" just walked away from their own dinner party so carelessly, showing no respect to their own family?

In such an important international occasion, even if you need to go to the toilet, you would choose to hold it in, and it is even more impossible for you to just leave.

For a time, Shen Ge's actions caused a lot of speculation.

However, the person involved was too lazy to care about so many things. In his eyes, as long as he could find Manager Chen and the Monster Association, it would be much better than any crappy dinner party.

"Detective Shen!"

Shen Ge had just walked out of the exit when the anti-spooky agents and the anti-spooky team guarding outside saw him and immediately stood up straight and saluted him.

Shen Ge waved his hand, looked at the captain and asked, "During the time since the dinner started, has anyone other than the waiters come in and out? Representatives from other countries, or detectives?"

The captain of the guard shook his head and said, "Report to Shen Tan, no one has come in or out since the dinner started except the waiters."

"What about the other exits?" Shen Ge asked again. The guard captain immediately took out a tablet computer to check the data, and then said: "No one except the waiter entered or exited the other exits."

The Special Policy Department attached great importance to this Asian Counter-Spectre Research Conference. In addition, given the recent incident at the Ping An Hotel, they naturally made multiple arrangements for this dinner.

Although these guards are wearing the uniforms of the Special Initiatives Department's ghost warriors, they are actually elites selected from the ghost energy mechanical force. Once a strange incident occurs, or if there are strange people causing trouble, all the ghost energy mechas parked in the backyard of the hotel will be activated to provide rapid support.

"That's okay, you guys continue with your work." Shen Ge said and planned to look around.

The captain of the guard team is also at the "captain level", and Shen Ge did not openly take over the position of "chief captain" of the Rong City branch, so strictly speaking, the two are still "at the same level".

However, although their levels are "equal", their status is worlds apart. In addition, Shen Ge's "legendary story" has been passed on from person to person and has long been turned into a divine version. Now some departments have developed a habit of worshipping Shen Ge's statue before going out to deal with strange incidents.

The captain of the guard in front of him is also a follower of this "trend".

Therefore, when he saw the "living immortal" appear before his eyes, he could hardly suppress his inner excitement, which was clearly seen from his stiff expression in salute and even the trembling tone of his report.

"Shen, uh, Detective Shen!" The captain of the guard suddenly stood up straight and shouted.

He howled out of the blue. Fortunately, Shen Ge did not bring Xiao Qi and the Red Mist Armor with him, otherwise he would have been on alert and would have been given a big fight.

"Is there something wrong?" Shen Ge turned around and asked puzzledly.

The captain of the guard said a little nervously: "Oh, no, it's okay. Oh, Shen Tan, where are you going? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Ah?" Shen Ge was obviously stunned by the guard's sudden "goodwill". You know, as the anti-evil agents of the Rong City branch, except for Fang Mingyue's faction, the rest of them don't get along well with their Rong City branch. It can be seen from the faces of those people when he first arrived in Dajing.

In addition, Shen Ge offended the faction headed by Song Zhengjun. Some people regarded Shen Ge as a thorn in their side and always wanted to get back at him.

According to what Fang Mingyue mentioned before, the guard team arranged for this dinner are all elites sent by a strange mechanical force.

It would have been fine if the captain of the guard didn't cause trouble for Shen Ge, but he offered to help, which made Shen Ge feel like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to Kun.

The captain of the guard noticed Shen Ge's reaction and immediately thought of something. He stood up straight and saluted, and said respectfully: "Detective Shen, my name is Cai Hua. I am a captain promoted according to the captain's plan half a year ago. Although I am a member of the first unit, I actually belong to the strange combat unit. I have always regarded you as my idol, Shen Tan. Today I have the honor to meet you, and I admire you even more. If Shen Tan can use me, please let me know. I will be honored!"

Cai Hua was so nervous that he was a little incoherent. Shen Ge smiled and patted his shoulder when he saw this: "Cai Xin? I think you will get along well with our two captains, Yang Yu Xin and Tu Dou Pi. For now, you don't need to do anything. Just stand at your post and pay attention to everyone coming in and out."

"Yes! I guarantee to complete the mission." Cai Hua roared with the spirit of heroic sacrifice, as if he had received some secret mission.

Shen Ge exchanged a few polite words and walked towards the stairwell. As there were too many guards along the way, he could not blatantly summon his weird eyes to check, so he could only use system detection to search first.

However, the "detection" did not find anything, and he walked around but did not find anything wrong. After a little thought, he went up the stairs to the rooftop.

The rooftop door was locked with a combination lock. Although Shen Ge believed that he could not break the door lock without triggering the alarm without Xiao Qi's help, it was obvious that one door could not stop him.

"Collapse."

As the invisible mysterious area opened, Shen Ge went straight through the metal door and came to the rooftop.

At this time, the sky was dark and the dark clouds were like a thick curtain, blocking the starlight and moonlight, leaving only a few suppressed afterglows struggling in the sky.

There was a damp smell in the air, foreshadowing the coming rainstorm.

It was a sunny day before Shen Ge and others came to the dinner, but the weather changed in just over an hour, which made him feel something was wrong.

Shen Ge stood on the edge of the rooftop and turned on his "weird eyes" to look around. The dark sky was not as simple as it seemed. The turbulent clouds in the dark clouds were condensed from the black fog of weird energy. He couldn't help but think of the information prompted by the system's "crisis mission", that the monster had the ability to unfold multiple weird spaces.

Obviously, the other party is about to take action.

At the same time that Shen Ge was looking for the strange man on the rooftop, a female representative from another country left the venue and went into the bathroom accompanied by bodyguards.

However, not long after the female representative entered the restroom, a scream was heard from the women's restroom. Upon hearing the scream, the bodyguards ignored the differences between men and women and immediately rushed in.

The female representative was so frightened that she fell to the ground and pointed at the mirror on the sink and said in horror: "Ghost, there is a ghost, there is a ghost!"

He subconsciously looked at the mirror on the sink, but saw himself in the mirror. The strange thing was that the bodyguard in the mirror was standing there in a daze, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and there were only black holes in his eyes, which was very scary.

As for the female representative who was sitting on the ground, she was standing in the mirror, with her hair loose and dark, empty eyes. She didn't even need to put on makeup to play Sadako. No wonder she shouted that there was a ghost.

Click.

Click.

Suddenly, with a strange noise, the lights in the bathroom flickered and then went out, plunging the entire bathroom into darkness.

It would have been fine if they were completely plunged into darkness, but at this moment the female representative and bodyguard in the mirror seemed to be shrouded in spotlights, appearing even more terrifying under the dark green light.

Boom!
At this moment, there was a loud noise at the door. The anti-ghost guards who came upon hearing the noise kicked the door open, and then a team of fully armed anti-ghost fighters rushed into the bathroom.

However, the restroom was empty, the lights were working, and there was nothing wrong with the mirror, but there was no sign of the female representative and her bodyguard. (End of this chapter)
