156: Chapter 156 Take it!
Administration Bureau.
Seeing Yue Yun stroll in, Wu Di blinked, feeling a headache.
"Why are you here?"
"Brought you some game."
Yue Yun joked, but the corpse of the Fox Beast in his hand caught Wu Di's attention.
Wu Di knew Yue Yun wasn't reckless.
He looked at Lin Zhou, who was in charge of the police response. Lin Zhou frowned: "Preliminary confirmation: it's a Beast. The other two are also Beasts. Their Beast Tamers: two dead, one injured."
"And the victims?"
"The owner of the beef noodle shop next to the Second Middle School. Shocked, head injury, sent to the hospital."
Wu Di felt slightly relieved.
A staff member called Yue Yun away. Wu Di looked at where the Beasts were being processed.
In the Administration Bureau's special iron cage, a dying Werewolf Beast was locked up. The decapitated Lizard Beast was brought back, ready to be put into a container with liquid.
These are research Materials and cannot be wasted.
Wu Di was surprised: "Wasn't the Beast detector in the Bureau fixed? Why didn't it react?"
"That's the problem."
Lin Zhou looked grim.
The Beast detector in the Administration Bureau covers the whole city, the guarantee for real-time monitoring. Unexpectedly, it failed twice.
Yang Qiu hadn't summoned his contracted Beast, so the detector didn't trigger, but these three Beasts appeared openly in the city without triggering the alarm.
The consecutive failures caught the Administration Bureau off guard.
Yue Yun returned after handing the Fox Beast to professionals. He saw the two deep in thought, frowning heavily.
"Are you not in the Administration Bureau today?"
Hearing Yue Yun, Wu Di's frown eased, nodding to acknowledge.
"Because Yang Qiu's contracted Beast wasn't detected, the higher-ups are worried about Beasts hiding in Jianghai City. We've stepped up patrols in the city and countryside, so we aren't at the Bureau."
Wu Di patted the seat beside him: "Although the appearance of the Beasts caught us off guard, as long as we identify those three Beast Tamers, we can figure everything out."
Yue Yun sat down.
He didn't doubt Wu Di, but the detector's lack of reaction made him uneasy.
Moreover, the Beast had called his name.
Yue Yun felt an absurd sense of being watched by an unknown entity, unable to hide, and the insecurity caused by a lack of strength.
Wu Di, having seen much, guessed what Yue Yun was thinking and smiled.
He praised: "You're really capable, killing three Beasts. You truly are a member of the Beast Suppression Army!"
"Just two-star strength Beasts."
Miao Sang was perfectly cultivated, life and strength stats at the current limit, shared with Yue Yun, giving him the capital to fight three-star Pet Beasts.
Beasts without even three-star strength were no match for him in the confined space of the noodle shop.
"Praise you a bit, and you're flying?"
Wu Di glared: "Don't think Beasts are easy to deal with. If you meet a powerful one, it can tear you apart with a flick of its finger!"
Yue Yun didn't doubt it.
The Earth Vein Giant Dragon in the Cangyuan Secret Realm was strong; that terrifying, irresistible power left an indelible impression.
"It's okay." Yue Yun laughed, "If I can't beat it, I'll run, find a place to hide, and wait for a chance to strike from behind!"
"You little rascal!"
Wu Di's face darkened.
A majestic figure appeared at the end of the road, in a well-fitting police uniform, walking like a benchmark, his demeanor dignified and respectable.
The three's attention was drawn. Wu Di and Lin Zhou stood up, looking at the newcomer with fervor.
"Bureau Chief."
Xie Heng, Chief of the Jianghai City Administration Bureau.
Xie Heng looked at Yue Yun with dignity. Yue Yun felt pressure on his shoulders, feeling his thoughts were exposed.
The pressure came and went quickly.
Xie Heng looked at Yue Yun from head to toe, undisguised appreciation in his eyes: "Heard you were recommended to the Beast Suppression Army? Not bad, a true hero in his youth! I've been aiming for a Six-Star Beast Tamer recently, so I only just learned about many things. I hope you don't mind."
Xie Heng shook hands with Yue Yun kindly.
Yue Yun understood where the pressure came from: "Congratulations on your promotion to Six-Star Beast Tamer, Chief Xie!"
Xie Heng must have successfully broken through to a Six-Star Beast Tamer, with a huge increase in Contract Power and Mental Energy, causing some power to leak uncontrollably.
Wu Di and Lin Zhou also sensed this leaking power, ecstatic and fervent.
This was a Six-Star Beast Tamer!
Xie Heng was in his prime; stepping into the Six-Star Beast Tamer Realm early meant untapped potential, with a chance to advance to Master-level.
He also had outstanding contributions to Jianghai City's public security; promotion was likely, meaning more resources for Cultivate.
With potential, resources, and the East District's support, becoming a Master-level seemed not so far away.
How could one not respect a Master-level Beast Tamer?
Xie Heng smiled, then looked at Wu Di and Lin Zhou sternly: "Notify the city's Beast Tamer Association, send someone to repair the Beast detector immediately, and strengthen patrols. Investigate the identities of those three Beast Tamers, and their interpersonal relationships. We must figure out where the Beasts appeared and how they made contact."
Wu Di and Lin Zhou dared not disobey.
Yue Yun saw them leave and got up to leave, but Xie Heng stopped him.
"I have something for you."
Xie Heng left in a hurry.
Yue Yun was curious about what the Bureau Chief, a newly promoted Six-Star Beast Tamer, would give him.
He and Xie Heng were meeting for the first time. Even with Chen Qingliu, Mayor Xu, and Mayor Xia's endorsements, it was just an "insider" status; the relationship wasn't that close.
Yue Yun was puzzled.
Xie Heng returned quickly.
His expression wasn't as serious as before, but cheerful, all because of the kraft paper bag in his hand.
What was this, that could touch the heart of the Bureau Chief and make a Six-Star Beast Tamer so happy?
Yue Yun's curiosity peaked.
Xie Heng looked at the handsome young man half a head shorter than him, smiling as he pushed the kraft paper bag to him.
"Take it!"
Yue Yun reached out and took it, feeling inside.
The familiar structure contrasted with the coldness of iron, and the heavy weight made his blood boil.
