at last.

After being trapped in the dense forest maze for about an hour.

Bai Lu and Huang Feng finally brought Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue to the legendary Investigation Bureau.

The location of the so-called Central Monster Investigation Bureau is no longer a particularly confidential matter.

But as long as they are not from their investigation bureau...

Basically, you won't know the entrance or exit of the maze.

This kind of maze combined with reality, as long as the specific entrance and exit are not found, then you will still be in the dense forest and the original terrain will not change.

"finally reached…"

After being rubbed by Zhang Chaoqiang, Tan Yue's arm was no longer seriously injured. It could be said that the two of them had been waiting for a long time, but fortunately they finally arrived safely.

“It’s not quite the same as I imagined…”

In Zhang Chaoqiang's imagination, the overall appearance and working scenes of the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau should be similar to those of a surreal science fiction type, as majestic as a space station.

However, I didn't expect that they were just a few buildings of more than ten stories high, and their appearance was no different from that of ordinary commercial buildings outside.

"Welcome to the Central Monster Investigation Bureau!"

After getting off the car, Bai Lu and Huang Feng had already changed into investigator uniforms. They took Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue through the steps made of spirit stones and across the green grass.

I walked along the stone steps until I reached the building in the middle of the buildings.

Zhang Chaoqiang looked over and saw that the area around the several technology buildings still looked like a dense forest and the terrain was still like that.

But what’s interesting is that many animals and wild beasts and birds around here seem to be completely oblivious to this place when they pass by…

And not only that, they didn't just ignore this place. The buildings of the Investigation Bureau seemed to not exist at all. When they walked past them, they didn't even look at this place.

And all of them involuntarily bypassed the investigation bureau.

Through various behaviors, Zhang Chaoqiang's [Demon Beast Smell Sense] can detect the other party's status. It seems that in their eyes, they can't see it, but in fact there are several human buildings in front of them.

“Is there a space divided here?”

Zhang Chaoqiang raised his doubts to Huang Feng and Bai Lu.

The two people leading the way raised their eyebrows and looked back at Zhang Chaoqiang, nodding and saying, "Smart. That's right, our investigation bureau used some special methods to create a special space in this location.

This space coexists with the world in one plane, but it is like an independent area that has been opened up like a secret realm. In this world, the space of our Investigation Bureau is currently the safest and least likely to be destroyed!"

"I'm afraid this is not something that can be achieved with modern technology?" Zhang Chaoqiang once again raised his doubts.

Huang Feng nodded again: "That's right, this is no longer just a simple opening up of space. It is a further integration of the alien space into the real world.

Such a spectacular scene was actually created by a senior member of our investigation bureau.

I heard that this also depends on the mechanical ability he possesses."

Tan Yue was completely confused by all this, but she didn't want Zhang Chaoqiang to know that she didn't understand, so she asked smartly, "Is that senior in the Investigation Bureau now? What are his specific abilities?"

This question stumped Bai Lu and Huang Feng. After all, this space has already existed since they just came in.

As for the senior who tried to merge the two different spaces, the two of them only occasionally heard about him from their colleagues, and they didn't even know whether he was dead or alive.

Therefore, even though they are relatively experienced senior investigators, they are not clear about some of the history of the Bureau.

After entering the gate, the inside is not very luxurious.

The wall was flashing with a deep blue-white color. It was a special metal that was about six hundred times harder than spirit stone.

It can withstand the bombardment of 100,000P spiritual power, and it cannot leave any obvious marks on this metal.

"This is where we work, hold meetings, and rest. Please wait a moment. Comrade Tan Yue is still dizzy in the maze. I will go get some relief medicine.

You can take a rest here or look around..."

With the two of them busy, Tan Yue was finally able to completely get rid of the bruises on her arms and the slight dizziness that still remained in her brain.

Later they visited the cold storage room where the spirits were kept.

What is stored inside is the spirit of the alien beast that has not yet been successfully absorbed and developed mechanical abilities.

Although Zhang Chaoqiang wanted to give it a try, he was strongly stopped by Huang Fengbailu.

They claim: "Experiments conducted over a long period of time have proven that a person cannot possess two mechanical abilities at the same time.

There was once an investigator who was extremely talented and had an extraordinary affinity with strange beasts, and he possessed a mechanism ability.

We also planned to try to add another one, and in the end, we not only failed, but also used our own lessons to prove a truth to us!"

"What's the reason?" Tan Yue really likes listening to stories. In her opinion, if these theoretical knowledge are presented in the form of stories, this feeling will make it easier for her to accept and remember.

"He has drawn a conclusion from us, that is, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain!
The mechanism abilities are mutually exclusive. Due to their own particularity and arrogance, they cannot appear on the same person at the same time.

After the senior tried this, the two mechanisms appeared in his body for a few seconds. Before he could start to feel happy, the two mechanisms began to fight in his body..."

"In the end, both mechanisms were destroyed. Not only did the senior's original mechanism disappear, but his entire cultivation was also destroyed!"

"And combined with our investigation and research on exotic beasts since the establishment of the Investigation Bureau, we found that exotic beasts are different from ordinary monsters in terms of bloodline level.

Their habits are also completely different from those of monsters."

"Strange beasts always fight alone and appear as individuals. They don't appear in groups like demon beasts or social animals.

Therefore, the nature of this mechanism's ability also echoes their original habits and habits, which in turn confirms this hard limit for us..."

The two warned Zhang Chaoqiang not to think beyond the point of threatening his personal safety.

Zhang Chaoqiang nodded in agreement, but what he did not say to Huang Feng and Bai Lu was that in his subconscious mind he seemed to be able to possess multiple mechanical abilities.

But he wasn't sure, and neither of them, nor the entire investigation bureau, would allow him to do so.

At the same time, Zhang Chaoqiang was also glad that he was the first one to come into contact with the strange bird in Zhang Huolong's body. Otherwise, if Huang Fengbai Lu from the Investigation Bureau had gotten there first... I'm afraid that nothing would have happened to him, Zhang Chaoqiang.

There will no longer be any useful mechanism ability like [Diffusion].

Huang Fengbai took Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue on a tour and basically contacted all the investigators in the Investigation Bureau.

The investigators showed curious and surprised expressions about Zhang Chaoqiang's arrival.

They had long heard of the sudden emergence of this talented young man, Zhang Chaoqiang, but what made them even more curious was the well-known mechanical ability of the other party.

One of them, Cheng Long, said, "Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, show us your ability... Um, who farts so stinky?"

He covered his nose instantly, took a step back and looked around, but the investigators standing around were all confused and didn't seem to smell the stench that Cheng Long mentioned.

"Hahaha…"

Huang Feng and Bai Lu couldn't help laughing. Only then did Cheng Long understand that this was the effect of Zhang Chaoqiang's use of the mechanism ability [Diffusion].

I gave him a thumbs up.

In fact, Cheng Long is also a person with mechanical abilities, but he never takes the initiative to admit that he has mechanical abilities.

Because of his mechanical ability [Walking], his walking speed is doubled. This useless ability is no longer useless...

He became the laughing stock of the investigation bureau for the rest of his life.

Similarly, after saying goodbye to them, Huang Fengbai took Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue to the testing center laboratory.

In order to save Cheng Long's face, they only told Tan Yue quietly here that Cheng Long was actually a warrior with the ability to [walk].

Zhang Chaoqiang originally believed that each mechanism ability was not only unique, but also had very powerful functionality.

Finally he changed his mind. He really couldn't imagine what kind of application scenarios this thing called "Walking" could be used for, as it could only reach 200% of its speed when walking...

Soon, after a brainstorming session, as Director Qian Jin did not show up, Bai Lu and Huang Feng presented their inspection of Mount Lu in front of Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue.

There is also the whole story of the black-clad thief that Zhang Chaoqiang helped capture in the Castle Hotel two days ago.

Basically, they were sorted out and explained to Zhang Chaoqiang.

"You mean you need my help, right?"

"Yes."

"Your mission is to assist us in exploring the secrets of Mount Lu. We now have reason to suspect that all of this was caused by a strange beast named Thief of Fat.

And this strange beast's favorite is the heather flower, and this flower is closely related to the reason for shielding the detection signal. I believe you also understand this.

So, if it is really a strange beast, then you, Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, will help us find the opponent's secret weapon!"

Just relying on the mechanism ability of [Diffusion], it is more practical and powerful than those martial arts that simply expand the senses of a certain part of the body.

"And no matter what the result this time, whether it is the alien beast or not, your reward will be the arrow stored in the Farmers' Museum. We know you need the Screaming Chicken Crystal Core inside it."

Although the two of them, like most people, did not understand why Zhang Chaoqiang was so keen on the garbage crystal core of Screaming Chicken that had no effect on itself.

But where there is demand, there is supply, and Zhang Chaoqiang’s thought process is not something they can clearly imagine.

Mount Lai, strange beasts, fat stealing, screaming chicken crystal core...

When these words are combined together, there is absolutely no doubt that they attract Zhang Chaoqiang.

First of all, the main reason why he agreed to come this time was to get the fourth-level Screaming Chicken Crystal Core, because his progress bar had been stuck at 52% for some time.

Can't wait.

In addition, the abnormal situation in Mount Laoshan this time was most likely caused by strange beasts.

Just as Zhang Chaoqiang has always felt, he does not think that he is limited to one mechanical ability. His [copying and learning] gives him a sense of security and confidence.

It's just like how once humans learn to swim, they will never forget it. This is the confidence that comes from their bones.

Similarly, this is Zhang Chaoqiang’s current inner state.

This just happens to be an opportunity to come into contact with strange beasts. It is obviously not a wise move to absorb the spirits of the strange beasts in the cold storage room through the Investigation Bureau.

Because the Investigation Bureau would never allow such a thing to happen.

So, so far, the opportunity to have contact with exotic beasts has once again been placed before him.

So, after pretending for a while, Zhang Chaoqiang finally agreed after Huang Fengbailu assured him that his safety would be protected.

"Is it possible after the New Year? We are celebrating the New Year these days..."

Huang Feng and Bai Lu looked at each other.

They didn't care about the next few days anymore. They promised Zhang Chaoqiang that they would set off after the New Year.

When they finalized it, Bai Lu and Huang Feng were in a good mood, thinking that after this incident, the connection between Zhang Chaoqiang and the Investigation Bureau would definitely increase day by day.

The relationship between the two will only become closer and closer, and it will be just a matter of time before the other party is won over.

In a good mood, they immediately invited Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue to have dinner in their banquet hall.

But Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue refused somewhat embarrassedly.

"We have already cooked in the hotel, so we won't bother you..."

Just now, Zhang Chaoqiang received a message from Lao Chen and finally completed a successful date. Of course, what Lao Chen brought him was good news.

To celebrate the success of their first date, the other party specially asked Lao Chen to go shopping on New Year's Eve. Lao Chen was overjoyed and told Zhang Chaoqiang...

I will make them a sumptuous midnight snack tonight as a way of thanking Zhang Chaoqiang!
"Clang, clang..."

Zhang Huolong, Shen Qiangwei, Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue returned to the hotel rooms one after another. They could already hear Lao Chen humming happily and the hot smell of fireworks.

After learning that Lao Chen was making the Nine Great Gui, Zhang Huolong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lao Chen, you really don't have to thank us so much!" (End of this chapter)
