15 Join the Supernatural Bureau

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Tianjiao was boiling from anger. As a father, he was beaten up by his own son. This made him very unhappy. If it were not for his guilt, he would have pressed Xu Ning to the ground and beat him to a pulp.

Just as he was distracted, Xu Ning's kick was heading straight toward him. Xu Tianjiao broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly dodged.

"F*ck you! You b*stard, what are you trying to do? Huh?! You want to cripple your father with this kick?!"

After Xu Tianjiao dodged, he distanced himself from Xu Ning with lingering fear. He pointed at Xu Ning and scolded him angrily.

Xu Ning had also calmed down at this time. It was mainly because he could not hit Xu Tianjiao, so he calmed down.

"Hmph! I want to cripple you! A bastard father like you deserves to be crippled!"

Xu Tianjiao stomped his feet angrily when he heard this. "What do you mean by deserve to be crippled? Do you think I wanted this? All I wanted was to be by your side this whole time."

Xu Tianjiao's tone gradually became softer and softer. "But I can't..."

Xu Ning could sense Xu Tianjiao's clearly downcast mood. Coupled with the venting from before, the resentment in Xu Ning's heart had almost dissipated.

Actually, he did not blame Xu Tianjiao too much, because he knew what Xu Tianjiao was doing. Xu Ning could understand him, but as a child who had not received a hint of fatherly love in years, he was still like an ordinary child, he could not help but vent his anger.

"Forget it, I don't have much intention of blaming you. Speak, bastard father, why are you looking for me?"

Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Ning went straight to the point.

Xu Tianjiao's expression also became extremely serious at this moment. He took out his phone from his pocket, and after fiddling with it with his fingers, he handed it to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning looked at it worriedly. He realized that the phone was now displaying a video. He still had some questions in his heart, so he silently clicked play.

The video had just played when it started to flash violently. After more than ten seconds, it returned to normal playback.

In the video, there was a burning office building. Even though the volume of the phone was not loud, Xu Ning could still hear screams and some weird murmurs.

At the end of the video, a figure in a black robe walked out. It turned its head to look at the camera. Then, a red light flashed in its eyes, and an explosion occurred, most likely destroying the camera with it.

The video ended here...

This scene was very strange. If it were any other student, they would have thought it was a horror movie.

However, Xu Ning knew in his heart that the thing just now was the so-called evil mage.

After the video ended, Xu Tianjiao, who was still wiping the blood from his nose while sitting on a stool, said, "This was a supernatural incident that happened in the special peace office building half a month ago.

"In one night, the entire office building was engulfed in flames. More than 300 employees who were working overtime inside burned to death."

Xu Ning slightly clenched his fist and calmly replied, "Yes."

Xu Tianjiao did not care and continued to say, "In the past few years, a large number of supernatural incidents have occurred in every part of the country."

"Just take our nine prefectures as an example. Based on this year's statistics, the number of deaths caused by supernatural incidents has reached 300,000. However, this is only a superficial figure. In reality, the figure should be much higher than this."

After hearing the figure Xu Tianjiao mentioned, Xu Ning could not remain calm. He did not expect things to be this bad.

"Therefore, the higher-ups ordered us to have a physical examination in the university to choose people who meet the requirements. You, you little brat, have met the requirements. It's not that big of a surprise considering how you have your mother and I's genes. You would have met the requirements easily."

Then, Xu Tianjiao looked at his son, he sighed weakly, "Sigh. Actually, I didn't want to involve you in this matter. That's why I used the excuse of living apart from your mother to temporarily stay away from you. However, as these demons become stronger, they appear more frequently.

"The government is already short of people. That's why I personally came to look for you after I saw that you passed your physical examination."

Xu Ning asked, "So you want me to join?"

"..."

Xu Tianjiao fell silent. As a father, he wished that Xu Ning would stay as far away from these things as possible. However, as a soldier, he really hoped that Xu Ning would be able to join.

Moreover, Xu Ning's situation was very special. If he did not join the supernatural bureau, even if he could already cultivate and had Aili's protection, he would still be worried.

After thinking deeply for a while, Xu Tianjiao looked straight into Xu Ning's eyes. He said in an extremely serious tone, "I hope that you can join us. This is not only for the country, but also for you.

"Originally, my original idea was to wait for things to calm down and I would go home to accompany you. However, not only have things not calmed down over the past few years, they have become more and more intense. In the future, it will be even more dangerous.

"That's why I hope that you can join us. I know that you have already started cultivating and have met Aili. However, you are still too weak. If you join us, you will be able to obtain more resources. In the future, you will be able to stand firm in this extremely dangerous era."

After hearing this, Xu Ning nodded lightly. He still had a plan in his heart.

He stretched out his hand to look at Xu Tianjiao and said, "Documents."

Xu Tianjiao did not waste any time. He took out two documents from his pocket. One was the official inauguration list, and the other was the confidentiality agreement.

Looking at the official list in his hand, Xu Ning realized that the restrictions were not very big. Other than the only thing, when the official issued an emergency order, those who met the requirements would have to obey the arrangements.

The official was smart. They knew that many of these talents did not like to be tied down, so they arranged for the most important condition. The rest of the time, they would be free people.

Therefore, without hesitation, Xu Ning signed his name on it.

"It's done."

Xu Ning handed the document back to Xu Tianjiao.

Xu Tianjiao reached out and took it. His face was mixed with joy and worry. He was happy that his son could work with him in the same bureau. When the time came, he would use some of his authority to directly transfer Xu Ning to his team.

He was worried that his son would be in danger in the future.

A moment later, Xu Tianjiao suddenly sighed in his heart. He sighed a lot today because of this worrisome son of his!

Since Xu Ning had already joined and read the documents, he still planned to tell Xu Ning about the situation of the supernatural bureau, thus, he opened his mouth and said, "Son, welcome to the Shanghai Supernatural Bureau. I'll give you a general overview of the situation now."

"Okay."

After receiving Xu Ning's reply, Xu Tianjiao continued, "First of all, our Shanghai Supernatural Bureau is divided into thirty groups. Each group has about twenty people. Your roommates, Yi Guang and Chen Zhong, are members of my group.

"Usually, you guys don't have much to do. Other than when the official calls for you, you're free to do as you please."

"Of course, since you've joined us, we will definitely give you some benefits. Just like the resources we mentioned before, we will give you spirit herbs every month.

"There will also be officials who will personally teach you cultivation techniques and things like that. After that, there will be spells training. However, most of these will be taught online."

From Xu Tianjiao's words, Xu Ning summarized a few points. Other than working hard to join the official, the rest of the time, they would be free people. They would also be able to enjoy spirit herbs, cultivation techniques, and resources.

Thinking about it, it was a pretty good job.

"Of course, the resources mentioned above are all relatively ordinary resources. Higher-level resources will require you to complete missions on your own. You have also seen the document. On it, it says that the government will issue a mission, marking the level of the demon on the mission. If you complete the mission, you will receive crusade merit points. At that time, you can use the crusade merit points to exchange for high-level cultivation techniques, spells, and spirit herbs."
