Chapter 1237: A Monumental Turning Point

The secretary was utterly bewildered.

Watching the Chief intently focused on his computer, even though he had no idea what was happening, he could only quietly close the door and step out.

As soon as the door clicked shut.

The Chief suddenly clenched his fists, his teeth gritted, trembling with tension!

Even with some restraint, the look of grief and indignation on his face was enough to leave a lasting impression on anyone. It was clear that he had experienced something similar before to empathize so deeply!

On the computer screen.

A scene of demonic beasts surrounding a lone figure was playing.

The sky was filled with dark shadows enveloping the solitary figure, a sight too painful to watch, as if witnessing a tragic disaster in the making!

But in the next moment!

Suddenly!

Through the dense gaps in the shadows, a dazzling white light burst forth. Even though it wasn't seen with the naked eye, the brilliance was overwhelming even through the computer screen!

The Chief was so startled that he took off his glasses, squinting his eyes as he stared intently!

Unfortunately.

The white light was too radiant, like a meteor exploding before his eyes, impossible for human eyes to bear!

After a moment of blinding brilliance.

The Chief finally managed to open his eyes, but they kept widening uncontrollably!

In the footage.

A distinct shockwave appeared, spreading like a tidal wave, with dust and debris flying everywhere, resembling a nuclear explosion!

Then, a delayed thunderous boom followed!

"Boom!"

Even though he wasn't witnessing it firsthand.

At this moment, the Chief felt as if he were right there, his mind shaken by the sound and visuals, startling him so much that he jumped up from his desk!

The dignified Chief of the Investigation Bureau, startled into jumping!

His glasses fell off!

But he no longer cared about his image or composure, his eyes wide and fixed on the computer, filled with awe, his face flushed with excitement. It was as if the small screen held an endless magic, making it hard for him to snap out of it!

Finally.

After a series of gasps, having witnessed the entire aftermath.

The Chief finally let out a long sigh, but he couldn't calm down. He paced back and forth excitedly, his fists clenched, the look of astonishment on his face lingering for a long time!

"A master!"

"An extraordinary master!!!"

The more he muttered, the more excited he became!

Even though he didn't know where his glasses had fallen, he didn't bother to pick them up. Instead, he immediately leaned over the computer, replaying the video, as if unable to believe it, wanting to confirm it with his own eyes again, or perhaps eager to relive the moment!

Realizing his vision was blurry, he instinctively groped around.

Luckily, Xu Rong promptly handed him his glasses.

The Chief put on his glasses and quickly rewatched the surveillance footage, his eyes filled with anticipation. As the video played, his expression gradually shifted from shock to excitement, as if he had discovered a monumental secret!

Just as he was watching it for the third time, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

"Ding ling ling~ Ding ling ling…"

The Chief didn't even glance at it, picking up the phone with practiced ease.

A stern, authoritative voice came through the phone.

"Chief, it's time for the meeting!"

To his surprise, the Chief ignored it and simply hung up.

He even unplugged the phone line!

This action made Xu Rong's eyes widen in surprise.

But as she looked at the surveillance footage, she understood. In the face of such a significant discovery, nothing else mattered, let alone a phone call.

After all.

Such a terrifyingly powerful expert was unprecedented!

If they could find this expert, it would be of immense significance to Pingjiang City!

The surveillance video on the computer kept playing.

Over and over again.

The incredibly shocking footage reflected in the clean lenses of his glasses, mirroring the Chief's uncontainable excitement, something he valued more than anything else!

After who knows how long.

The Chief finally stopped the video, leaning back in his office chair, still wearing a look of awe and wonder.

"Indeed."

"Indeed!"

"Xu Rong, you're right. This is an extraordinary master!"

Xu Rong nodded excitedly in agreement.

"Chief, you're so wise!"

"I was a bit hasty earlier. If I was rude or disrespectful in any way, I hope you can forgive me."

The Chief smiled and nodded, responding magnanimously.

"I understand. You had good reason!"

As he spoke, his eyes returned to the computer.

But his expression gradually calmed, revealing a more composed and steady demeanor.

"Xu Rong, what are your thoughts on this master?"

Xu Rong nodded solemnly, carefully analyzing the situation.

"Chief."

"I've never heard of this master before, but since he appeared outside our Jiangping City, if he wasn't just passing through, he must live nearby. It's highly possible he's隐居 in our city!"

"If we can find this master, it would be of unprecedented significance for our city's demon-hunting operations and the safety of all citizens!"

Her analysis was calm and objective, and the Chief nodded in approval.

"Good, your thoughts align with mine."

"However…"

"There's one point you got wrong."

Xu Rong looked surprised.

"What point?"

The Chief slowly stood up and looked out the window, a glimmer of hope shining in his eyes!

"If we can find this master, it might not just change the current situation in our city. For the surrounding areas, and even the critical situation facing all of humanity, it could be a monumental turning point!"

His deep voice resonated, and Xu Rong's eyes trembled with shock.

A monumental turning point for all of humanity?!
