B City Special Events Department Building  

Returning from headquarters, Regional Captain Li Branch looked haggard as he convened a meeting as usual for his men to report on the summary of recent special events in B City.

"Captain, the magnetic field has become more and more unstable recently, the shields we placed in the city centre have shown signs of collapse and need to be repaired immediately, so funds are needed ......"

"B City recently had two C-level incidents, code name Red Woman and Jumping Ghost, which have been successfully solved, but the props of the executive department are also badly worn out, if we don't replenish them we are only afraid that we will lose our fighting ability ......"

Li Division listened to the subordinates report, he was just this morning by that ant summoning Ancient God of the sight of the mentally unstable, and now to face these subordinates all kinds of demand for money and supplies report, simply headache is splitting.

"Alright, alright, let's leave these matters to the vice squad, for now, I'm not feeling well today, so this morning meeting will end here for now ......"

Saying that, Division Li got up and left the conference room, leaving a group of subordinates in the conference room to look at each other with blank faces.

With the recent spate of unexpected events in B City, their busy schedules had skyrocketed, literally, and it was speculated that perhaps the captain was in low spirits due to this as well.

But in fact, the reason was far from what they had guessed.

It was true that the frequency of accidents had left Li physically and mentally exhausted, but more so because of the scene, he had seen this morning. The figure that remained in the hologram was unforgettable to anyone who saw it, and to this day, Li's mind still shows that figure over and over again, standing between heaven and earth, as if the destruction of the world could not hurt him even a little.

"Can humans really defeat something like that?" Li Division smoked a cigarette, his misty eyes looking at the smoke in the air, imagining how mankind would respond if that gigantic god came to this world and destroyed its own civilization like it had destroyed the insect civilization.

For a long time, there was nothing, and Li just closed his eyes wearily.

Something like humanity was just too fragile.

No one knew the complicated sorrowful thoughts of the captain in his office, and soon the building resumed its usual busy schedule. Zhao Gang, a Grade B officer from the executive department, led intern Zhang Yun out of the office building.

"You're a trainee, I'm not asking too much of you, don't be nervous, our department isn't that scary. Talk less and do more, watch me first, and then let you handle events on your own after a while."

Zhao Gang's eyebrows are steely, a typical image of a hardened man of iron, with a sunny smile. In fact, he did act in a straightforward manner at work, never timid in the face of ghostly incidents, never afraid to face them head-on, and sometimes so brave as to be almost reckless. But he had become much gentler in the last year, perhaps because more of his colleagues had died, and his personality had changed a lot, the only thing that remained the same was the heart full of passion.

"Yes! Senior Zhao!" The intern named Zhang Yun immediately stood up straight, with a bit of excitement in her expression and her pretty face flushed red.

Seeing that Zhang Yun was still a little nervous, Zhao Gang said soothingly and understandingly, "I never think that gender can determine one's future, so go for it! As the first female intern this year, I have high hopes for you!"
