Real Game: I Exposed the Old Ones

The cell phone rings.

Zhu Zheng yawned and opened the communication software.

It was a message from Xiao Bing.

Looking at the dense text, Zhu Zheng was a little stunned.

It seems that her work is not busy enough.

Pursing his lips, Zhu Zheng turned to look.

[Mr. Zhu Zheng, I heard Xiao Wu mention that incident, but I didn’t expect that it was actually done by an underground digger. I have vaguely heard of this mythical creature.]

[I heard that they come from another world and often appear in the warm south. How come they appear in Wulian City? Moreover, they have a relatively docile personality and usually do not attack humans. Maybe we have missed something. 】

[But anyway, thank you very much for your support of Xiaowu’s work]

I helped the secret agency handle an unusual incident a few days ago. It seems that Xiao Wu and Xiao Bing talked about it.

Zhu Zheng's thoughts were rolling and he was lost in memories.

Since Xiao Bing was transferred, Xiao Wu became the person in charge of Wu Lian's secret agency.

But for some reason, Wulian suddenly became turbulent and strange during this period, and several abnormal events occurred one after another.

Xiaowu and others were overwhelmed.

In desperation, Xiao Wu sent a request to Zhu Zheng to assist in the investigation.

Zhu Zheng happened to have cleared the [Wall of Horror] and had some free time, so he took over the next special incident.

The content of the incident is as follows.

[Incident number: D-9481. 】

[Name of event: House collapse incident. 】

[Event level: D level. 】

[Description of the incident: Within three days, many houses collapsed in Wulian City, causing nearly a hundred casualties and the impact was extremely bad. 】

[Advice to investigators: The sampling work of the building mass has been completed. The evaluation report shows that there are no problems such as obsolescence. Based on the on-site investigation, human factors can be ruled out. Supernatural intervention is suspected. It is recommended to investigate the cause of the collapse. 】

Taking the report document, Zhu Zheng brought Lao Dao to the scene.

Since the search and rescue team was still searching for survivors, the scene was somewhat chaotic and it was difficult to launch the investigation.

However, Lao Dao relied on his rich experience to discover key clues.

The cause of house collapse was damage to the foundation.

After further investigation, Zhu Zheng and Lao Dao finally tracked down the culprit.

Diggers.

This is a mythical creature whose strength is not outstanding, and its strength is roughly equivalent to that of a first-order transcendent.

They look like an enlarged bug, about the same length as a human being, and as wide as a thigh, with tiny translucent wings on both sides, no eyes, and a huge mouth with shark-like teeth.

Underground diggers usually hide underground. When they attack, they will emerge from under the target and use their large mouths to devour and bite while creating fragile tunnels that can collapse buildings.

At the site of the collapsed house, they also found a broken magic circle used to summon underground diggers.

It appears this was a man-made incident.

In addition, underground diggers are easily attracted to items that exude mythical factors.

Zhu Zheng and Lao Dao borrowed several treasures from the secret agency, set up traps, and after some squatting, successfully hunted the manic underground digger.

Of course, the seconded mysterious items were naturally 'destroyed' in the hands of underground diggers and were lost in the line of duty.

As for the initiator of the whole incident, Zhu Zheng ignored it after reporting it.

The thoughts were pulled back from the memory.

Thank you or anything like that would be too superficial, let's do some real benefits.

Muttering casually, Zhu Zheng continued to read back.

[Remember the evil god image mentioned last time? There is no need to worry about it. We successfully contained it and eliminated the impact]

[Next, we will return to the headquarters and concentrate on the investigation of the anonymous master.]

After that, there were meaningless pleasantries.

Zhu Zheng casually replied You're welcome.

After thinking for a while, he exited the chat interface and searched for information about the evil god's image on the Internet.

I tried multiple keywords in a row, but there was no information at all.

As expected of an organization backed by the Deep Blue Federation, it has a profound foundation.

In comparison, his power is somewhat weak.

After sighing, Zhu Zheng opened the popularity panel again.

[Mr. Wood: 1.87e/10e. 】

Mr. Mu's popularity is still rising steadily and rapidly, which gives Zhu Zheng a lot of hope.

Keep looking down.

[Luo: 1.8W popularity value. 】

[Anna: 1.3W popularity value. 】

[Lao Dao: 4800 popularity value. 】

[Priest: The popularity value is not turned on. 】

Huh?

Zhu Zheng noticed something unusual.

He remembered that when he watched it a few days ago, the popularity of Luo and Anna was only about three to four thousand.

Why are there suddenly so many?

What did they do?

Zhu Zheng was very curious.

Haidu.

Hidden Church.

A group of men in black robes knelt on the ground, facing a strange-looking statue on the shrine, and repeatedly murmured an unknown language.

The environment is solemn and serious.

Outside the hall.

Zhao San tugged on his companion's clothes and confirmed again: Is there really no problem?

Don't worry, God knows what we are here for, you know it and I know it. Li Fei was very confident.

Zhao San breathed a sigh of relief: That's good... Also, can you really gain powerful power by believing in Dagon?

Of course, I am a ready-made example.

Li Fei suddenly laughed.

Zhao San recalled carefully and found that Li Le's strength was indeed improving by leaps and bounds during this incident, and he even had the momentum to hit the second level of transcendence.

He had no more doubts.

Follow Li Fei to the hall, go straight to the front of the shrine, and kneel at the designated position.

The priest said in a strange and hoarse voice: Zhao San, are you sure you want to believe in the great Dagon?

Zhao San took a deep breath and said, Father, I'm sure.

The priest nodded: You need to make the three major oaths of the Dagon Order in front of Dagon.

Zhao San knelt on the cold stone slab.

He looked around at the weird man in black robes, took a deep breath, and looked solemnly at the shrine.

Dagon! I solemnly swear not to hinder the activities of the Deep Ones, nor to tell anyone else.

Dagon! I solemnly swear to do whatever is required of me.

Dagon! Hydra! I solemnly swear to believe in you forever.

No matter what the occasion, if I violate this oath, I will obey the judgment of the Order.

Boom boom boom——

The hall of the secret church suddenly started to vibrate.

The men in black robes fell to the ground and shouted in unison: Dagon has arrived!

Zhao San was at a loss.

He wanted to stand up, but found that he seemed to be stuck to the stone slab and couldn't stand up.

At this moment, dazzling and colorful light hit his eyes.

Zhao San looked up and saw a faint blue light emerging from the shrine, and the sound of crashing waves could be faintly heard in the small space.

Under the light, he felt endless warmth.

Great Dagon!

Zhao San rested his head on the ground, tears streaming from his eyes.

He was impressed by Dagon's power.
