monster detection team

"Be careful... slow down, slow down..."

Xie Feng carefully stared at the burning firecrackers, let them fly above the table, formed a circle with the wind, controlled the bursting golden sparks within a certain range, and formed a small pyrotechnic ball.Others surrounded him, interjecting a sentence from time to time, or pushing him, trying to create some pressure on him.Sweat was dripping from Xie Feng's forehead, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes staring at the firecracker seemed to spew fire.

Yi Ange sat on the side, looking at them worriedly and amusedly.

"Be careful, hey, it's done, it's done!" a person shouted excitedly.

The small pyrotechnic ball finally flew steadily in mid-air, and the flow of air around it returned to normal. You could see the wind whirling around the fireball.The others applauded and cheered, and Xie Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief and grinned happily.

Suddenly, a head poked out from behind him, and blew hard at the fireworks ball——

With a bang, the firecracker exploded into pieces in mid-air, and the circulating wind dissipated instantly.Everyone immediately hid under the table or chairs, but Yi Ange was a little slow to react and was covered in soot.

Xie Feng stared blankly at the mess on the ground, suddenly jumped up and grabbed the collar of the person behind him and shouted, "Wen Xiao!!"

The young man named Wen Xiao almost died of laughter, he hiccupped and raised his hands in surrender, "I was wrong, I was wrong."

Xie Fengqi, whose good show was interrupted, raised his fist and pretended to beat him, and the rest of them joined in the fun, and in an instant, a group of people made a fuss.

Yi Ange patted the firecracker debris on his head and laughed.

Today is a working day, but the monsters have not received any commissions for special cases, and they are all hiding in the underground meeting room in the center of the base.Today, there are quite a lot of people. Except for Jing Rong, the other seven and Yi Ange are all here.

Only after joining the team did Yi Ange realize that commuting to and from get off work is not mandatory here.The monsters are unique one by one, and they rarely gather together like this in their free time.Jing Rong gave them absolute freedom, the only requirement was that they must be on call whenever a case happened.

This way of working is very much like Jing Rong's personality.Yi Ange had no doubt that when Jing Rong made such a request, none of the people here objected.

Today is a special case.Without Jing Rong, everyone seemed to be herding sheep.An Liya took out a bunch of snacks from her small warehouse and distributed them to everyone, and Xie Feng and Wen Xiao, who were so fussy, tossed out various tricks in different ways.

Looking at them, Yi Ange felt that he was not working, but joining a party of young people.These young people, who seemed to be in their early 20s, were no different from the students on the university campus outside, but what they could do was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.They have secrets, secrets that are not known to outsiders. Before Yi Ange's arrival, they could not and would not share these secrets with outsiders.

Xie Feng and the others had had enough trouble, and started to share snacks.Bai Ziming grabbed a handful of mints, divided them one by one, and threw two more to Yi Ange.

Yi Ange reached out to take it, tore open the package, threw it into his mouth, and immediately spit it out again.

This sugar is sour.Jie Feng, An Liya, and a man named Qu Hongyang were also caught in the trick, and they were sticking out their tongues with tangled faces. Wen Xiao and Feng Yu shrewdly didn't eat, and they laughed again. Feng Yu laughed enough, Said to Yi Ange, "It's best to see what Xiaobai gives before eating."

"Why?" Bai Ziming crossed his legs and smiled, "Can I still harm you?"

Wen Xiao curled his lips and said softly, "It's hard to say."

Bai Ziming kicked him lightly.

Yi Ange took the tea from An Liya's hand, diluting the sour taste in his mouth, and couldn't help laughing out at Wen Xiao's embarrassed expression.

Sometimes he finds it amazing that this group of people can accept him.It's not because of Jing Rong, but because of integration in the true sense, which makes him feel that this group of people is more or less eager to change.Feng Yu said before that they were all looking forward to his joining. Yi Ange didn't believe it at first, but now he finally understood what he meant.

Over there, Jiefeng and An Liya started bickering for some reason, making a lot of noise.These two are a pair of happy friends, and they seem to have known each other since childhood.Feng Yu secretly told Yi Ange that the grievances between the two began when Jie Feng controlled the wind and blew away the veil covering An Liya's eyes when they were in the first grade of elementary school.

They were arguing fiercely, while Wen Xiao was fanning the flames, as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, but Qu Hongyang covered his mouth and dragged him aside to hold him down.Yi Ange was still smiling while watching the show, when suddenly his ears moved, he patted the table and said to them, "Wait!"

He hadn't spoken before, and the others stopped instinctively before they could react.Yi Ange listened carefully for a while, his expression changed, and he said to them, "Clean up quickly, Jing Rong is back!"

The others were still in a daze, Feng Yu was the first to react, and swept the firecracker debris on the table to the ground.An Liya and Xie Feng stopped arguing, and started hiding snacks everywhere, and the rest ran to their seats, and just as they were seated, Jing Rong pushed the door open and entered.

The smell of firecrackers in the air has been blown away by Jie Feng and Wen Xiao.Everyone sat upright, pretending to be waiting seriously.In fact, Yi Ange wanted to remind them that this was a bit fake, but it was too late, so he could only sit upright with them and resign themselves to fate.

Jing Rong stood at the door, scanned for a week, and walked in slowly.

Everyone's nerves were stretched to the extreme, Xie Feng put his hands under the table, carefully blowing the debris on the ground to a place where Jing Rong could not see.

Jing Rong walked behind Yi Ange, put one hand on his shoulder, and swept it slightly, a piece of debris floated down.

The place Jing Rong pressed became hot, and Yi Ange's ears turned red involuntarily.The other people found that they couldn't hide it anymore, and they all lowered their heads, either ashamed or holding back their laughter, and the scene gradually became more relaxed.

Jing Rong didn't comment on what they did, but just turned on the projector and motioned them to watch.

Seems to be business.Everyone turned serious and looked at the screen.

A picture appeared on the screen. Yi Ange carefully identified it and found that it was a square in the city center.In the picture, the roads around the square are arc-shaped, with a small park in the middle, split in two by a seemingly deep crack.

"Five minutes ago, a ground crack appeared at the turntable hub in the city center. According to visual observations, the depth was more than ten meters, and the length was 5 meters, almost running through the entire Central Park." Jing Rong said, "They asked for our help."

"5 minutes? Come to us so soon?" Feng Yu frowned, "Have they ruled out ordinary factors?"

Jing Rong nodded, "There are witnesses."

"Witness?" Yi Ange repeated suspiciously, "This kind of crack or collapse is usually caused by the explosion of underground pipelines. What do you mean by witness?"

Jing Rong looked down at him, raised his hand again, and pinched his shoulder hard, almost making him cry out, before saying, "The witness claimed that he saw a man walking to the middle of the park, jumping. into the ground. Cracks followed."

Such rhetoric makes it difficult to have a sense of the picture. The only thing Yi Ange can imagine is the land lord in the cartoon, who melts into the land after jumping on the spot.

Jing Rong agreed with his imagination this time, saying, "Yes."

Yi Ange smiled awkwardly but politely.

The specific situation can't be explained clearly, Jing Rong said to others, "The case has been transferred to us, we should all prepare and start working."

Everyone got up and started to walk out.In the middle of the walk, Jing Rong suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Xie Feng, "You stay and clean the room."

"Ah?" Xie Feng pushed the chair halfway, and froze on the spot.An Liya and Wen Xiao walked past behind him, and patted him on the shoulder gloatingly.Jing Rong ignored them and went out directly.Xie Feng knew he was wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only look for cleaning tools resentfully.

Except for Xie Feng who was punished for cleaning, because no one was injured this time, An Liya didn't have to follow, so there were only six people left in the team, plus a new member, Yi Ange.

This is the first time that Yi Ange has been officially on duty with them, so I am a little excited.The seven men were divided into three groups. Yi Ange followed Jing Rong and Feng Yu to negotiate with the police. The other two groups disappeared. When they asked Feng Yu, Feng Yu only said that they went to investigate.

The streets around the turntable gathered many people.The police sealed off all the circular roads, and no one or vehicle was allowed to pass.This is the city center, so the number of vehicles stopped is unimaginable. Yi Ange and the others were blocked three streets away, so they stopped and walked over.

Even on weekdays, there are still many pedestrians in the city center. After all, several surrounding roads connect the city's busiest business district and some important urban landmarks.Along the way, Yi Ange heard a lot of people talking about what happened ahead, and there were various speculations. Before reaching the destination, he listened to all kinds of conjectures, and could not help speeding up his pace to catch up with Jing Rong and Feng Yu in front of him. , I feel that if I slow down a bit, I will be affected by the wild imagination of the masses.

Feng Yu opened the way ahead, and Jing Rong walked behind, pausing for a while, waiting for Yi Ange to catch up.

Yi Ange walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Is it appropriate to just let them guess like this?"

He knows that in the face of the unknown truth, people will always choose to believe what they want to believe, and he also knows that the most indispensable thing in this city is gossip, but the discussions he heard from the people around him seem to have caused quite a bit of panic , if this continues, even if no one has any accidents, it may affect the efficiency of the monsters.

Besides, Yi Ange had some selfish intentions.He didn't know how much the outside world knew about Jing Rong and the others, and whether they would be suspected if they appeared in full view like this.

The existence of monsters has long been no secret. After all, it is written in primary school textbooks, but for most people, Jing Rong and the others are more like urban legends. In recent years, there have even been "the so-called monsters are actually a hoax." Such a statement.

Jing Rong naturally doesn't care about such nonsensical evaluations. It should be said that he doesn't care about any opinions from the outside world.He only cares about what he should care about.Yi Ange couldn't say if this kind of character was good or bad, but he just felt that only Jing Rong could achieve this level.

Because of this, Yi Ange didn't want to expose the monsters to the public view, but this was not something he could decide.If Jing Rong and Feng Yu Jiefeng chose to let the world know of their existence, Yi Ange, who is half an outsider, has no right to stop it.He is not someone to them, at best, he can only be regarded as a friend.

Yi Ange's heart throbbed when he thought that Jing Rong and the others were used to silently walking through the crowd and dealing with accidents that seemed accidental to ordinary people.He felt a little unworthy for Jing Rong and the others, thinking that they should do something more important, but the truth is, Jing Rong and the others don't need such meaningless regrets at all.

The crowd squeezed past, Yi Ange stepped aside, and was bumped and staggered.Jing Rong looked back at him and said, "Follow me."

Jing Rong looked forward and said to Yi Ange in a voice inaudible to others, "Whether something is kept secret is not only related to us, but also to the whole city. When an accident happens, people living in this city need to Get a reasonable explanation. It's our responsibility to help them find that explanation and make sure it doesn't happen a second time."

He walked very fast, and Yi Ange barely kept up.A few girls walked past them talking and laughing, Jing Rong stopped and waited for them to pass by first.

Yi Ange said ashamedly, "Sorry, I was thinking too one-sidedly."

Jing Rong looked ahead, looked over the crowd to the square, and said calmly, "The only thing we can do is maintain the status quo and do our own thing well. As for what other people think, we can't control it. I can only tell you that outsiders cannot interfere in matters related to the position of the base."

Yi Ange looked at Jing Rong.The bustling crowd walked past them, either in surprise or joy.Jing Rong's expression was as flat as ever, as if he had seen through the ups and downs of the whole city, his handsome side face was reflected in the sunlight, and his black pupils seemed to be shining with golden light.

"If we do get to that point, we will never back down, and we will never compromise."
