34 First Mission

Hearing the blue bird talk about this, I couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for her battle, and at the same time sighed, "Your security bureau really doesn't care about the things in the hidden world being witnessed by the masses......"

"Because even if it is witnessed, it will not have an impact on social stability." She said, "Moreover, it's not that we in the Security Service don't want the masses to know about the hidden world, but that the masses can't understand the hidden world." ”

In my dreams, I once tested whether the blue bird could reveal the magic power she manipulated, and even asked if it was allowed to shoot with a mobile phone and upload it to the Internet, and it was all allowed. In the dream, I thought it was some kind of silent deterrent, a hint that if I dared to do so, I would be secretly dealt with by the "Witcher Department".

This is not the case.

The Witcher Department and its circle in the dream are supposed to be the security bureau and the hidden world in my memory, so they follow the same basic logic, that is, the secular society cannot be aware of the hidden world no matter what.

If you ask why, the answer is simple, because all hidden events involve spiritual forces, and the basic characteristic of spirituality is "hidden".

Spirituality is an energy that is automatically hidden from nature and society, and can only be discovered by those who have extraordinary intuition, that is, those who have a high degree of awareness.

People who do not have a high degree of awareness, not only are they unable to perceive the outside world and their inner spirituality, but they will also forget about the hidden events after witnessing them - it is not appropriate to say "forget", strictly speaking, the memories of the hidden events will be hidden in their unconscious like the lives that like those who like the shadows.

Suppose a warlock A and ordinary person B have experienced a secret event together, and a month after the event ends, A asks B about the secret event, and B is still able to answer fluently. But if A doesn't ask B, B won't take the initiative to recall things related to secret events in his life. It's like the average person doesn't remember what they ate for breakfast yesterday when they have nothing to do, and they don't think about whether they walked on their left foot or their right foot when they went out, and this memory will be automatically classified by the consciousness as "information that you don't need to care about". It's not so much "forgetting" as "not thinking".

There are also some smart ordinary people who will be alert and think: why did they experience such a bizarre thing, but they would act as if nothing had happened.

Then they will find a reasonable reason for themselves as if they are at the mercy of some kind of implication, for example: because I am so scared that it has left a psychological shadow on me, I don't want to remember it, let alone talk about it to others.

The more this bizarre phenomenon rises to the collective, the more effective it becomes, as if the collective unconscious is also refusing to understand the hidden.

If the individual is still able to maintain a certain degree of consciousness of the hidden event, then the collective is always in amnesia, or chaotic and fragmented about the hidden event, and gradually forms urban weird stories and fictional stories that no one believes in as time goes on.

Bluebird once told me in small talk that the Security Service had promoted itself several times in an official name on television and on the Internet for the purpose of social experiments. For example, in early October of '16, that propaganda caused a small uproar in the community, and the videos and tons of comments of the time can still be searched on the Internet, but today's society is still ignorant of the Security Service and the hidden world. The people who left messages under the video back then either left it behind, or although they still remember that there was a video, their memories have been distorted, such as it was just a spoof video posted by a private account, or it was just a popular law program with a lot of special effects added to follow the trend, and so on.

"It's the same with the middleman this time, and although everyone has seen it, they will soon return to their lives. I don't remember it, I don't talk about it. Even if someone posts a video taken by a mobile phone on the Internet, it will be treated as a special effects animation; And if it attracts the attention of the masses, it will soon be overshadowed by the lace news of celebrities or scandals in the political and business circles. Bluebird sighed, "The reason why I didn't want to be a warlock back then...... That's because of this. Once you join the hidden world, you are equivalent to joining a world that ordinary people can never understand, and you will gradually part ways spiritually with your past social relations. It's not just classmates and friends...... Even the family is the same. ”

Then, she exhaled and pulled herself together, "Okay, where did I just go......

"The middleman unleashed a lot of monsters to attack passers-by." I said, "Did he get it?" ”

"I didn't succeed, that's still within my reach." She replied, "Those monsters must be the demons he summoned, just as those demons flew out......"

Just as those demons flew out, the blue bird immediately raised his right hand.

A large cloud of lightning appeared in the palm of her hand, and turned into a series of thunder spears, quickly, accurately, and deadly, killing all the demons who tried to attack passers-by.

And when she looked at the intermediary again, the latter took advantage of her distraction and suddenly didn't know where to run.

There's nothing trickier than a hidden warlock criminal.

Warlocks have two basic attributes, one is "Awareness" and the other is "Hidden".

If a warlock of the level of the blue bird is to concentrate on hiding, and even be able to walk down the streets in bloody clothes without anyone noticing this level of things, even if it is indirectly observed through electronic devices such as surveillance cameras, the result is the same. And even if a warlock criminal like a middleman can't do this, it can lead to other bizarre phenomena, such as the police missing or missing key clues for some reason when collecting clues about his crime, or the detective inexplicably going the wrong way when trying to deduce his crime.

What a cheating power for the guilty party; And for the order side, this is such a tricky magic.

Once you let go of the middleman, you don't know when you want to catch him next time.

And with his speed, he didn't know where to run for a second or two. The blue bird couldn't detect his breath, and couldn't even figure out which direction he was running.

But...... It would be naΓ―ve if he thought he would be able to run away this way.

Since you don't know where to run, search in all directions!

At this moment, the blue bird once again turned into thunder, and walked through all the streets and alleys in the vicinity at an unimaginable speed, and in the blink of an eye, he searched all the places, and finally found the middleman who fled with his back to him in a certain path.

Another sword slashed, and the middleman was knocked away again after the defense, rolled on the ground in embarrassment, and then continued to escape, bypassing the opposite corner.

The blue bird keenly noticed that the middleman had been seriously injured before, but now all of them had healed, and only the blood stains remained on his clothes.

Super-fast regeneration ...... A common trick of demon warlocks, it is a big deal to destroy the brain directly...... Uh, no, I'm here to arrest people......

But at this point, I'm still on the run...... Did he think he could run away? Or is there any hole card?

Bluebird was secretly on guard, and at the same time slightly tired. She had used too many difficult spells to transform into natural elements in one breath before, and even she had a little respite. She then took a deep breath and continued her pursuit.

But from the opposite corner, a figure suddenly appeared.

The figure was not an intermediary, but a woman.

Passerby? Wrong!

Blue Bird's awareness told her the anomaly for the first time - the woman in front of her was not an ordinary person at all, not even a human being.

This woman had a rather extraordinary beauty, even to the point of heterogeneity, an extraordinary beauty that would be captured by her, young and old.

Assuming that beauty can be described in numbers, the limit of what humans can theoretically reach is one hundred, then she is one hundred and twenty.

As the saying goes, things must be reversed, and she is so beautiful that she is already an alien beauty. Ordinary people may still fall for it, but when a warlock like Blue Bird sees it, it will produce a uncanny valley effect.

But at this moment, the woman smiled at the blue bird, releasing an even greater charm, and even the uncanny valley effect was suppressed, making the blue bird stunned in place.

It's a charm spell!

At this moment, the woman was no longer a threat in the eyes of the blue bird, but seemed to have become the dream lover who suddenly visited, so that the blue bird couldn't help but stand in place, at a loss for a while.

However, the main law enforcement warlock of the Security Bureau is not something that can be seduced casually.

Only a second passed, and the blue bird's eyes changed, and he broke free from this charm, and the beautiful woman in front of him had disappeared without a trace.

The other party didn't attack while the charm was working, probably because if he attacked, he would wake up from the charm in advance, and the gains outweighed the losses.

According to his own vision, if there is no accident, that woman should be a "succubus".

The real succubus is a spirit, and the woman obviously has a physical body, probably a hybrid of a succubus and a human.

She showed up at this point to stop her pursuit, indicating that she was the partner of the middleman. And the succubus is a kind of demon in the first place, and it makes sense that she would be in the company of the demon warlock in the middle.

But he was able to charm himself for a whole second...... That succubus is also a strong person among warlocks, and her face is so "flamboyant", but he has never heard of her...... Could it be a warlock criminal from another province or city?

The bluebird thundered again.

She had imagined that there might be some kind of trap waiting for her ahead, but that wasn't enough to keep her going.

And that's how it thinks...... Caught in the hands of the enemy.

Bluebird spotted the back of the middleman in front of an abandoned building, who fled into the building in a panic, and she rushed in without hesitation.

As soon as she entered, she saw a flash of light at the edge of her vision.

It was a full-length mirror, somehow in the corner of the first floor; And through this mirror, she saw the figure of a succubus appear behind her again. Looking back, I saw that the succubus also quickly took out a mirror, facing the waiting mirror on the other side.

And the bluebird and the middleman are both in the middle of the two mirrors.

Mirrors mirror each other, forming an infinite and repeated corridor.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ When I came back to my senses, I was already in another dimension. ”

In front of me, Bluebird concluded his statement of his previous experience.

She complained slightly, "I was thinking of ending the mission quickly and inviting you to the movies again, but now it's all in vain." ”

"Are you and the middleman trapped in another dimension by succubi?" I asked.

"Yes, but it's not just the middleman...... "the succubus who cast the spell was also in another dimension at that time." ”

"Is it a spell that even the caster himself will be involved in......" I thought.

"Now it's your turn." She asked curiously, "How did you get here?" ”

I glanced around.

At the beginning, I was referring to "a place full of dangers", and this is what I was referring to.

It seems to be the interior of a building, a wide gray corridor made of reinforced concrete, with doors on both sides, each door can go to a different place, it may be an ordinary residential building corridor, it may be a dusty office, it may be a classroom with desks and chairs......

All in all, it seems to be a chaotic collection of spaces, the common denominator is that no one is visible anywhere, but demons often appear.

Unfortunately, Bluebird and I seem to be stuck here.

A two-person world full of drawbridge effects - Bluebird jokingly describes this alien space, but she should also understand that this situation is not optimistic.

"I don't have as many ups and downs as you." I said, "I came in after a certain demon. ”

Bluebird listened curiously, and I began to explain why I had entered this alien space.

But as mentioned before, the whole experience was not so "interesting". And anyway, if you want to explain what happened before you entered here, why don't you just put your own experience in the last few days here.

After joining the Security Service, instead of being able to wrestle with the dangerous warlock criminals I had hoped, I was sent on a solitary patrol.

This is not unexpected, you must know that Liucheng is not full of vicious warlock criminals wandering every day, and the security work is more of this kind of down-to-earth activity. Besides, my position in the Security Bureau is a bit indescribable, and I don't know what to do if I were called to team up with other law enforcement warlocks.

I was also able to take advantage of this time to fully study the textbooks on the hidden world that the Security Bureau had given me.

I thought that this kind of day would last a little longer, but this evening, the Security Bureau gave me a job to investigate the strange incident that happened at a school in Liucheng.

And that happened to be my alma mater.

"Don't you really want a mission? It's not a problem to let you wander the streets like a social idler all day long, and having said that, there really isn't a suitable task for you in the bureau lately......"

Lie sat behind his desk and spoke to me.

"Hasn't Bluebird been busy lately? I'm going to help her. I said.

"What she's been working on lately isn't for you." He said firmly, "You are not allowed to inquire or meddle without permission." ”
