My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

"Evil beings?"

Upon hearing these two words and before Chen Yu could react, the plump neighbor jumped up, shocked, "We are going to fight 'evil beings'?!"

"Yes," the curvy female instructor nodded. "That's why I said, this mission is very dangerous for you. You should prioritize your own safety."

"Teacher, when did this 'evil being' appear?" Chen Yu asked.

"It should have been this early morning," the female instructor recalled. "When I took the mission, I only focused on the danger report. I just glanced at the other attached intelligence documents. I didn't see everything."

Chen Yu reached out his hand, "May I take a look?"

"No problem," the female instructor took out her phone, logged into a certain app, and handed it to Chen Yu: "This is our function center's internal platform. After you graduate, you'll also have access to this terminal. Then you can take on tasks and receive various notifications from it."

Chen Yu took it, his fingers sliding across the screen, quickly browsing through it.

Meanwhile, the plump neighbor rubbed his hands excitedly, his bottom hardly able to stay put, "Awesome, awesome. The first mission is so thrilling."

"Thrilling?" The female instructor laughed, "You will understand later that for us Transcendents, the last thing we want is thrill."

"Transcendents are truly remarkable," the driver turned around, his face all smiles as he gave a thumbs up, "Running around for the safety of us common folks."

The curvy female instructor's face turned cold: "Just drive your car. Stop the nonsense."

"Yes, yes..."

With the police clearing the way.

The convoy moved unobstructed.

Soon, they left the capital and got on the highway, speeding towards Qingcheng.

Chen Yu also turned off the phone and handed it back to the female instructor, "I've finished."

"You read quite thoroughly," the female instructor approved. "For us Transcendents, intelligence is our lifeline. No matter what the mission is or its difficulty, all information must be treated seriously. Not a single word can be missed."

"Then why didn't you read everything?" the plump neighbor curiously asked.

"Shut up!" The curvy female instructor slapped the plump neighbor on his head.

"Transcendent instructors are incredibly strong," the driver couldn't help but turn back again, praising, "A small evil being, naturally, is no big deal. Not looking is okay."

Hearing this, the female instructor's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Plump neighbor also furrowed his brows, "Bro, just drive your car. Don't be annoying like Chen Yu, irritating us all."

"?" Chen Yu looked at the plump neighbor in surprise.

"Ah, I was just using it as an adjective. I wasn't talking about you."

"..."

Ignoring the other, Chen Yu lowered his head, deep in thought.

The intelligence related to the mission was not extensive, but it had identified all the key points.

The cause of the incident,

was at eight o'clock in the morning, inside a villa area in Qingcheng, where property management staff discovered seven bodies.

Each body's head had been cracked open, the brain matter completely gone.

Property management immediately reported it.

Upon receiving the report, the police sensed something wrong with the case and reported it to the Supernatural Bureau's local office in Qingcheng.

When experts arrived at the scene, they quickly determined it was an "evil being murder" incident.

Due to military readiness over the past fortnight,

Qingcheng was under 24-hour surveillance; thus, the "evil being" that committed the murder was most likely still in the city.

What came next needs no further explanation.

The capital's function center promptly issued a mission, and within just one morning, organized a team of forty-five Transcendents, rushing to Qingcheng to eradicate the evil being.

As for investigating?

That's not the Transcendents' concern.

Who died, how many died, who the murderer was, the function center didn't care.

Finding and quickly eliminating the "evil beings" was their only goal...

'Was it that little girl?'

Chen Yu's thoughts were profound as he recalled the details of last night's encounter with those two people.

"Teacher," Chen Yu looked up and asked again, "Why can the disappearance of brain matter confirm it's the work of 'evil beings'?"

"Because human brain tissue is their food," the female instructor responded without hesitation, blurting out, "They are a group of monsters that feed on humans. Extremely bloodthirsty, neither human nor ghost."

"Have you ever seen an evil being?"

"I have."

"What do they look like?"

"All kinds." The female instructor, affected by her professional habits, meticulously explained, "But mainly they are divided into two categories. The first type is animalization. The second type is distortion."

"First, animalization. As the name suggests, this is when the 'evil being's' appearance starts to increasingly resemble a wild beast. Covered in fur, diminished intelligence, extremely bloodthirsty and brutal, most fond of cracking open human skulls to suck out the tissue."

"Then there's the second type, distortion. Any of you know about this?"

Chen Yu: "..."

Plump neighbor: "..."

"Distortion, as the name suggests, too. Although these 'evil beings' are still transformed from humans, they completely lack any human form. All kinds of bizarre and weird shapes. Some look like sludge, some like tree roots, some like jellyfish floating aimlessly with the wind, and some even turn into feces... Basically, they're a complete mess."

"And here's a key point,"

The curvy female instructor paused slightly and raised a finger, "In this task, the 'evil being' that appeared is most likely of the first type. Because if it were the second type, usually there would be no bodies left. The victims would have been entirely devoured."

"... Such disgusting creatures," the plump neighbor smacked his lips, beginning to vaguely sense the peril of the 'Transcendent Path'."

"So how do these 'evil beings' come into existence?" Chen Yu continued asking, "Why do some people turn into these creatures?"
