"Have you entered?" asked John Woo.
He is not like Lin Fan, who has a sensitive spirit and can sense these things.
Ordinary people are unaware of this situation.
Sister Xu rolled down the car window and leaned over to look out. Lin Fan followed suit, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.
"What did you find?" asked John Woo.
"Nothing has been discovered so far. There is no ghostly aura, and no obvious spiritual light. It seems... everything is normal..." Sister Xu said after a moment of hesitation.
Normality is impossible, and domains cannot appear out of thin air.
"Could it be the Demon Realm?" Lin Fan retracted his gaze and asked.
"If it was the Demon Realm, there's no way I wouldn't have noticed it at all." Sister Xu closed the car window and sat back in the middle of the back seat. "I'm just not good at dealing with demons. Look, I can still tell."
Lin Fan realized he'd misunderstood and chuckled at Sister Xu. "Come to think of it, I always thought abilities like subduing demons and monsters were all part of the same thing. I didn't expect they were separate, huh?"
"It wasn't divided before, but in recent years, due to resource and manpower constraints, the institute has split this area into two departments," Sister Xu explained. "It's not that our department can't catch monsters, and it's not that their department can't collect ghosts either. It's just that our specialties are different. Especially when encountering someone with slightly stronger abilities, it's better to let the more experienced person handle it."
"Oh, I see. It's just about refining the functions." Lin Fan nodded.
Isn't that what all companies do now? The Special Law Firm has certainly kept up with the times.
"That's pretty much what I'm saying," Sister Xu agreed. "The Dharma Ending Age is really not very friendly to people like us with special abilities. Limited resources can only be used in one place."
"No matter how unfriendly they are, they're still better than us ordinary people, right?" Wu Yusen interrupted with a smile, "But we didn't get anything."
"What? Do you still want everyone to cultivate immortality? Go read some novels." Sister Xu laughed.
Wu Yusen shook his head helplessly and pretended to sigh, "You people with supernatural powers, really...tsk tsk tsk."
"What is it really?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
"A well-fed man doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man," Wu Yusen replied. "We want some supernatural powers, but we don't even have them, and you're still looking down on us."
"You can't say that." Sister Xu's lips curled up slightly, sitting in the back with a straight face. "Everything has its gains and losses. You can't just look at my gains and not see my losses."
Lin Fan turned his head and looked back curiously, carefully examining Sister Xu from head to toe, but he didn't find anything "missing".
Seeing that Lin Fan had actually gone to see it, Wu Yusen smiled. "Sis Xu has been sleeping during the day and going out at night for a long time, so her day and night cycles are reversed, and her sleep and sleep schedule is basically the opposite of ours."
The desire for sunlight can be said to be an innate nature of most living things.
Sister Xu's job just goes against this nature.
For others, watching the sunrise is the beginning of the day, but for Sister Xu, it is the end of her day.
In an environment without sunlight for a long time, Sister Xu's skin became unusually pale. However, that paleness wasn't like Lin Fan's, a healthy white with a rosy tint. Instead, it had a slightly grayish hue.
Even his body temperature, due to his exposure to so many indescribable things, was much colder than that of an average person. Consequently, his entire aura had a certain chilliness to it.
Lin Fan's body temperature is actually lower than that of ordinary people, but when Sister Xu's hand touched him last time, he still felt cold.
This kind of body temperature environment is actually very unfriendly to women. That’s why Sister Xu is very thin.
If Lin Fan had met other people from the Supernatural Department, she would have found that they all had the same characteristics - thin, fair, and cold.
"But, when there are no missions, can't we go out during the day?" Lin Fan asked curiously, "Is the Supernatural Department very busy? Can't we guarantee weekends off?"
"Not that busy," Sister Xu smiled and shook her head. "It's just that your biological clock is amazing. I once tried going out for a stroll during the day on my days off, and then going out to work at night when I had a mission. But I found that my biological clock was messed up and my body couldn't handle it, so I gave up."
Lin Fan probably understood. It was just like how she always felt sleepy after 10 o'clock every night. She could bear it once or twice, but if it happened every few days, no one could stand it.
"However, sometimes we have to go on missions during the day, like today." Sister Xu looked at the long-lost sunshine outside the window and smiled gently.
"Besides, we're only good at the supernatural. Our overall abilities aren't as good as John Woo's, and our martial arts skills aren't as good as yours." Sister Xu turned around and saw Lin Fan staring at her. She chuckled and said to her, "We're just doing our best in our respective positions."
"Sister Xu, what you said is true." Wu Yusen said with a smile, "Lin Fan and I are both your juniors. You can't just send us away with just a few words. At the critical moment, we still need you to save our lives."
"You little rascal, you're becoming more and more like Zhu Cunjun." Sister Xu mocked him unhappily.
"Of course, Director, you are my role model." John Woo also laughed and parked the car on an empty concrete ground.
"This should be a threshing ground. Let's park the car here and go down to take a look." John Woo turned around and asked.
Sister Xu nodded in agreement. "That's fine. We've been in the car the whole time, so we can't tell what's going on."
The three of them got out of the car, and Sister Xu was holding her toolbox.
It was a small metal box about the same size as a makeup case. It didn't look very big, and I didn't know what treasures were inside it.
Lin Fan saw her take out a round powder box from her pocket as soon as she got out of the car, and wondered, why is Sister Xu touching up her makeup at this time?
When I got closer to take a look, sure enough, it was a compass.
"Is this made by the weapon refining team again?" Lin Fan saw the style and knew it must be their product.
The weapon that Quan Yingdong had specially forged for her was modeled after the stars. There was nothing special about it. It could only be said that the craftsmanship was very good and the imitation was exactly the same.
So she subconsciously ignored what the refining group actually did and treated them as an ordinary equipment manufacturing department.
It wasn't until a few days ago that Sister Xu showed her the Qingyun cigarette and the Chaos lighter.
Now there is a compass foundation...
Lin Fan felt that if any more everyday props appeared, she wouldn't find it strange.
"Yes." Sister Xu looked at the compass and compared it with the surrounding environment. "I really like the adaptability of this generation of young people. They can adapt to our usage habits and make magical instruments. They are portable, convenient, and concealed."
"If you have any ideas or customary usage, you can also tell them. That group of people are really crazy about development. They stay in the refining room every day and don't want to come out." John Woo said with a smile.
"Can this thing turn into any other shapes?" Lin Fan dug into his pocket. "I know this thing is definitely useful, but isn't it too conspicuous?"
Sister Xu and John Woo looked at the thick stack of paper talismans with red characters on a yellow background in Lin Fan's hand, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
How many paper talismans did Quan Yingdong give to Lin Fan?
