Alien Species Invasion? I Kill Them Back.

Chapter 65: Chapter 63: Trending

[You have obtained the Card "Fishman".]

[You are a warrior of the River and a fierce general of the deep sea. Your scales automatically mimic the color of your environment. Your spiny, fin-like arms increase your underwater speed while providing excellent Attack Power. But the Fishman is by no means limited to a single form.]

Fang Ye perceived the text appearing in his mind and was so shocked his breath caught.

’So this is a Card.’

’So this is Extraordinary Power!’

Just moments ago, Fang Ye had suspected the man was an Alien Species, so he had tailed him, planning to call the police.

But as he followed, he saw how unnaturally weak the other was, and different ideas began to sprout in his mind...

So, he picked up a stick from the side of the road.

When he saw the Alien Species materialize a syringe out of thin air and try to inject itself, Fang Ye finally made his ruthless move!

The Alien Species on the ground was motionless.

Fang Ye picked up the syringe.

The glass tube contained a light blue liquid. It was clearly a very important medicine, or the Alien Species wouldn’t have been hiding here to inject it. It was a shame he didn’t know what its effects were.

Regardless, tonight had been a massive haul.

Fang Ye’s heart was pounding. He felt his life was about to change. With this Card, he now had a link to those important figures. Maybe... he too could become a hero, protecting Qingjiang, protecting the country.

The thought made Fang Ye’s blood boil with excitement.

He looked up at the pitch-black night sky, unable to wait for the sunrise. As soon as it was light, he would go to the Inspection Bureau to sign up and become an Inspector!

...

「The next day at dawn.」

During the morning rush hour in Qingjiang City, almost everyone was on their phone, scrolling through the news.

Just last night, the Mengjia Hotel had been blasted into a ruin, and the entire city had heard the terrifying explosion.

Nearby residents were especially terrified. Who would have thought that Alien Species were living in the budget hotel right on their doorstep! And from the looks of it, there had been quite a few of them!

Among the guests evacuated that night, someone had secretly taken photos and posted them online.

Some photos were taken before the hotel collapsed: In the darkness, large, tumor-like, unidentified objects clung to the hotel’s windows and exterior walls.

Other photos were taken after the collapse: Several bright lights illuminated the ruins. In the foreground, a medical team was lifting a wounded person onto a stretcher, while in the background, team members in combat gear secured the scene.

These photos were excellent material for news stories and immediately shot to the top of the trending lists.

Netizens are always sharp-eyed. Someone drew a circle around the person on the stretcher and asked: Is this Qingjiang City’s newly appointed Inspector?

Someone else drew a circle below the stretcher and asked: Why is there a six-legged cat here? Or maybe seven legs?

These days, cats trend more easily than people.

Everyone began to heatedly discuss why a cat with obviously abnormal biological traits had appeared at the scene, yet none of the personnel there seemed surprised.

『Mo Ziyou: Even though you can’t clearly see how many legs the cat has, it’s obviously more than four. Based on the Inspection Bureau’s usual methods, they would definitely eliminate any creature with genetic contamination. But no one at the scene seemed to object, which means this cat isn’t just an ordinary genetically contaminated creature.』

『Zhuo Zhuo: Poster above, you seem to have explained everything, and yet nothing at all...』

『Miao Wa Lizi: Was anyone at the scene? Come on out and tell us what’s up with this cat!』

『Xiao Bai Two: My bestie and I were staying at the Mengjia Hotel last night! Around 10:30 PM, we suddenly heard a knock on the door. When we opened it, we saw a bunch of SWAT officers holding guns! They said the hotel was dangerous and told us to evacuate immediately! I feel like I’m in a dream right now! It was so scary!』

『Xiao Bai Two: Thank you to all the heroes who participated in the cleanup operation last night! SOB SOB SOB SOB Without you all, I wouldn’t be alive today!』

『oO_oll: While I also admire the members of the Inspection Bureau, isn’t the poster above being a bit dramatic? Most Alien Species don’t just kill people randomly. Even if the Inspection Bureau hadn’t acted last night, you probably would have been fine sleeping in the hotel for a night.』

『Qing Zhu: Are you sick in the head? I hope you get to sleep in the same hotel as an Alien Species every day from now on!』

『oO_oll: Let’s stick to the facts and refrain from personal attacks, okay? ~』

『Yao Ye Le Xing He: My classmate lives right next to the Mengjia Hotel. He said it wasn’t a cat, but a big spider and an owl that got into the ambulance with the wounded person.』

『Xiong Bao: Did your classmate take a picture? Did they? Did they?』

『Yao Ye Le Xing He: He took a video, but it’s pretty blurry. And he can’t post it. Every time he tries, he gets a "violation" error.』

『Gu Zhili: Better not post it. The latest cybersecurity regulations forbid leaking any information related to the Inspection Bureau. What if an Alien Species analyzes the photos and videos to find an Inspector’s weakness? It would put the Inspector in danger. The few photos you can see online right now will probably be taken down in a little while anyway.』

『Fan Tuan: Oh my god, that’s terrifying now that you mention it!』

『Hua Xiangrong: It’s true, though. Every single Inspector is risking their life to protect us.』

『Ling Moran: I feel like a lot of information has already been leaked... There are several arms on the medical bed in the photo, which means the wounded person is definitely not an ordinary police officer. So, we can infer the following: the wounded person is Qingjiang’s new Inspector (presumed); their Skills involve multiple tentacles (presumed); the strange creatures at the scene are likely part of the new Inspector’s Control System Skills (presumed). The figure next to them with Beast Claws is clearly the familiar Deputy Zhou. We all know Deputy Zhou’s catchphrase is that as long as he’s around, he won’t let anything happen to anyone. From this, we can deduce that last night’s operation was led by the new Inspector. It’s even possible the new Inspector eliminated the Alien Species in one fell swoop, with Deputy Zhou providing support from the side and not engaging the enemy head-on, which is what led to this outcome.』

『Fan Tuan: AHHHHH, I’m begging you expert analysts, please stop analyzing! What if a real Alien Species sees this?!』

『Gu Zhili: Let’s all just wait for the official announcement. There’s usually one around 10 AM.』

...

Su Yuqing scrolled through the comments under the online news articles and let out a soft sigh.

He had actually considered suppressing the matter regarding Feng Ling for the time being, because topics like "hidden boss" and "Pollution Value" were far too sensitive.

But last night’s commotion had been too big. After careful consideration, he ended up writing everything down to the last detail in his submitted report.

’A good thing I did,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, once this news broke, his superiors would definitely think he had knowingly withheld information. A pay cut would be a small matter, but receiving disciplinary action would be a major one.’

Still, these online comments were so easily misinterpreted...

As a result, his phone hadn’t stopped ringing since 8 AM. The calls were all from acting inspectors at other city branches, trying to find out how the Qingjiang Branch had managed to get new personnel, since every region was short-staffed right now.

Su Yuqing could only explain over and over again: the injured person in the photo was not a new recruit. Really, they weren’t.

’What? You’re asking about their identity? I can’t say. It concerns a citizen’s privacy and must be kept confidential.’

He felt helpless explaining it all, but also a subtle sense of pleasure. It was a very complex feeling.

He had just hung up when the office phone rang again.

Su Yuqing picked up the phone, preparing to give his explanation once more, but this time it was the voice of the front desk on the other end:

"Captain Su, there’s someone named Fang Ye here to see you. He says he has something important to tell you."
