Chapter 48

Jin Hu's surveillance screen displayed using demonic energy, automatically connecting to the Supervision Bureau bracelet on Huangfu Jun's wrist, synchronously showing her surroundings and what she saw. After sitting in the driver's seat, Jin Hu waved his hand, and a surveillance image appeared on the windshield. But the screen was pitch black. Jin Hu frowned. Unless the monitored subject was dead, it shouldn't go black under normal circumstances. But with Bai Lin protecting her, Huangfu Jun couldn't be in mortal danger. What was going on with the black screen? He quickly took out his phone, sent a WeChat message to Zheng Siyi, started the car, and spun the steering wheel, racing toward Xu Dali's house. Although there weren't many cars on the country road, with only two lanes, his reckless driving forced several oncoming cars to stop, provoking frantic honking and curses from frightened drivers. Jin Hu didn't care. His eyes not only watched the road but also the surveillance screen on the windshield. He had activated the "playback" function to check what happened to Huangfu Jun before the blackout. Everything was normal until the E Shou appeared and Huangfu Jun entered its barrier. Suddenly, the screen went black, and nothing could be seen. Sweat dripped from Jin Hu's forehead. He slammed the steering wheel, and the hoarse horn startled the car ahead into a zigzag. A black shadow suddenly flew into the car and appeared in the passenger seat. "Mayor Jin, why are you so concerned about our Miss Huangfu?" Jin Hu didn't need to turn his head to know it was Gui Suishou from the Monster Bureau, an old cleanup officer of the Seventh Bureau. "Huangfu Jun is the most unique half-demon so far. She should enter the Supervision Bureau and be thoroughly studied. Losing her would be a huge loss for the Supervision Bureau, even a major loss that could affect the safety of all half-demons in global Supervision Bureaus." Jin Hu was very frank. At this point, lying to Gui Suishou, who had seen countless people, was pointless. Gui Suishou looked at the surveillance screen on the windshield. He waved his hand, and a faint light appeared in the black world. Jin Hu's eyes widened. In the dim light, a white shadow flashed by, swimming like a dragon toward deeper darkness, with a small light spot faintly visible ahead. Even though the outline of the light spot was unclear, Jin Hu knew it was Huangfu Jun. The magnetic field of half-demons was completely different from that of monsters. "How did Captain Bai also enter the dream? A double-layered trap dream?" Jin Hu's frown deepened. "This is insane. How could Captain Bai allow Huangfu Jun to enter someone else's dream barrier? In someone else's dream, the dreamer is the creator. All characters and abilities are shaped by the dream owner. You're completely at their mercy. Even if you come out intact, you'll at least be skinned alive!" Gui Suishou hadn't expected things to develop to this point. Watching the screen, his face turned pale. Finally, he sighed sadly. "It's too late to say anything now. Light a lamp for Captain Bai. Even if he can't see the way home, we've done our best." Gui Suishou waved his hand again, and a small star flew from his palm, instantly flashing into the screen and landing at the entrance of the dream barrier. Jin Hu's foot on the accelerator loosened slightly. Gui Suishou was right; it was an irretrievable dead end. Even if Bai Lin was the Monster Bureau's number one battle god, he couldn't create a miracle and defeat the dream owner in the dream world. Gui Suishou took off his down jacket, pulled out a firecracker-like object from the turtle shell on his back, and hugged it tightly. Jin Hu glanced at it suspiciously. "What's that?" Gui Suishou turned his eyes and smiled, showing two rows of small white teeth. "Once we confirm Captain Bai's death, we'll set off a demonic energy firework to inform the Monster Bureau. Tell headquarters to select a new captain for our Seventh Bureau." Jin Hu: "..." He didn't know where to start complaining. You still use such an old-fashioned communication method? Can't you use a phone? Isn't there livestreaming? More importantly, monsters are monsters, with no camaraderie and no brains. Jin Hu muttered to himself. Gui Suishou stroked the old-fashioned firework (commonly known as a two-shot firecracker) and explained good-naturedly, "It's understandable that Mayor Jin doesn't know. The last time the Seventh Bureau's captain died was over a decade ago. Mayor Jin hadn't graduated yet, let alone joined the Supervision Bureau." Jin Hu: "..." He couldn't refute that either. Although he looked old, around forty-five, he was actually under thirty. As a half-demon, every time he used demonic energy, his lifespan shortened and his appearance aged quickly. Jin Hu sighed. Perhaps for Bai Lin, he, as a half-demon of the Supervision Bureau, had deeper feelings than the monsters of the Monster Bureau. "Captain Bai, may you have a smooth journey. Jin Hu bids you farewell here." He silently lit a candle and offered a wreath for Bai Lin in his heart.
