Chapter 156

After hanging up the phone, Fang Xiu went to the Investigation Bureau.

In the reception room of the Investigation Bureau, an elegant middle-aged man was talking with Wang Dehai, Yang Ming, and others.

"Yang Ming, Bai Qi, this is Mr. Ma Xingbang, a consultant from headquarters."

"Mr. Ma, this is Yang Ming, the captain of Greenvine City Investigation Bureau, and Bai Qi, the vice-captain."

After Wang Dehai introduced them, Yang Ming and Bai Qi were quietly observing Ma Xingbang.

Ma Xingbang seemed friendly at first, always smiling kindly. He didn't act superior despite coming from headquarters.

"Captain Yang, I've heard a lot about you. I've heard that you are young and talented, and after meeting you today, I can see that it's true," Ma Xingbang said politely while shaking hands with Yang Ming.

Yang Ming was flattered. Everyone knew what psychics were like, and they seldom met a polite and friendly psychic like this.

"You flattered me," Yang Ming replied politely.

Then, Ma Xingbang extended his hand to Bai Qi. "I heard Vice-Captain Bai is talented, too. Having both of you in Greenvine City Investigation Bureau makes us at headquarters very reassured."

"Thank you," Bai Qi said coldly, then withdrew his hand after the handshake.

"Mr. Ma came mainly to understand the follow-up of the Nightmare event and the Green Mountain Mental Hospital Specter Zone. You need to work with him," Wang Dehai said with a smile.

"Oh, where is Agent Fang Xiu? As a major contributor to the Nightmare event, I must meet him."

"He's on his way and will arrive soon. Xiao Wang, go hurry him up."

Ma Xingbang was very polite and well-spoken. He didn't make anyone felt uncomfortable.

"No, no need. Greenvine City has just gone through a major crisis and is in the process of recovery," said Ma Xingbang. "An outstanding young talent like Agent Fang must be very busy. We can meet when he's free. There's no need to rush him."

At this moment, the reception room door opened, and Fang Xiu walked in slowly.

"Third, to investigate the Green Mountain Mental Hospital Specter Zone, as such a zone that can nurture a Grade-S Specter is obviously highly dangerous. Headquarters must fully grasp the basic situation of such dangerous Specter Zones."

Wang Dehai asked, "Mr. Ma, do you mean to go to Green Mountain Mental Hospital for investigation?"

Ma Xingbang nodded, "Yes, I plan to take a few agents from Greenvine City Investigation Bureau with me to explore the Green Mountain Mental Hospital."

"Who do you want to take with you?"

"I think these three young talents here are excellent."

Wang Dehai seemed worried. "Mr. Ma, given that Green Mountain Mental Hospital could give birth to a Grade-S Specter like Nightmare, the level of danger is unimaginable, with just a few of you"

"No worries," Ma Xingbang smiled slightly. "I might be modest, but I'm a third-tier psychic. I, along with Yang and Bai, make three third-tier psychics. Plus, we have Agent Fang's ability to foresee the future. With such a team, we might not make the Hospital disappear, but we can at least conduct an investigation."

Everyone was surprised. No one expected Ma Xingbang, who seemed ordinary and spoke so politely, to be a third-tier psychic.

They also silently admired the strength of headquarters, as they could casually send out a third-tier psychic.

Wang Dehai was still worried, as Specter events were not to be taken lightly. The team seemed strong, but no one knew what dangers lurked within Green Mountain Mental Hospital.

At that moment, Ma Xingbang pulled out a key made of gold from his pocket, with faint Specter energy flowing around it.

"Is that a Specter Gadget?"

"Correct. This golden key has a peculiar ability. In a Specter Zone, as long as you find any door and insert the key, you can leave the Specter Zone through that door. So, Director Wang, you don't have to worry. With the golden key, we can surely make a safe return."

"I see Mr. Ma has made thorough preparations. When do you plan to leave?"

Ma Xingbang smiled. "In three days. After all, I'm new here, and my knowledge of Green Mountain Mental Hospital is only on paper. I need to gather more information; only by knowing the enemy and ourselves can we win every battle."

However, when he mentioned 'knowing the enemy and ourselves,' his gaze silently drifted towards Fang Xiu, seemingly with a deeper meaning.

"Why are you looking at me?" Fang Xiu's indifferent voice cut through the harmonious atmosphere like a sharp knife."
