Shen Ge stayed in the dormitory again—forget going home, he didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger. That alone spoke volumes about the intensity of today’s training.
However, Feng Chengxiu wasn’t acting out of personal vendetta. His sole purpose was to quickly improve Shen Ge’s physical fitness and hone his combat skills.
After a full day of training, Shen Ge’s agility and constitution had each increased by 2%.
After a quick wash, he set his phone alarm for 00:01, then collapsed onto the dorm bed and fell asleep.
The moment the alarm rang, it was time to get up and catch up on the latest updates.
[January 12, 2028] After escaping the formless eerie domain, you immediately returned to the city center and reported the supernatural incident to the organization. According to the latest international threat assessment on supernatural entities, any eerie domain capable of altering its surroundings would rank at least Tier 6. The higher-ups never expected that even after the “Great Evacuation”, a high-tier supernatural entity was still lurking in Rong City.
The organization, in coordination with the authorities, swiftly took action. A reconnaissance team was dispatched to monitor the invisible eerie domain at Tom’s Supermarket around the clock to prevent its expansion. Meanwhile, a request was submitted to employ newly developed “Anti-Supernatural” missiles to dismantle the domain. The plan was approved, and you were assigned to locate and evacuate survivors near the eerie domain.
By evening, exhausted, you returned to the organization’s base. Just as you entered the residential block, ready to head back to your dorm, a stylish, beautiful woman with long hair staggered toward you like she was drunk. When she was less than two meters away, she suddenly stumbled and lunged at you.
With quick reflexes, you sidestepped. The woman face-planted on the ground with a thud, then lifted her head, giving you a pitiful look. You ignored her and walked straight toward the dorm while pulling out the organization’s communicator to alert the patrol team: “Suspicious individual spotted near the dormitory area.”
After hearing your description of the incident and the suspect’s appearance, the patrol team replied with four words:
“Typical of you.”
“That’s it?” Shen Ge was left wanting more, but at least he now confirmed that future technology included weapons like Anti-Supernatural missiles—and they were indeed being deployed against these entities.
However, he was curious: What was the “Great Evacuation” in Rong City?
From the logs so far, it seemed the entire city had been evacuated, suggesting the devastation was on par with Tokyo being swallowed whole by a Tier 8 supernatural entity.
Over the next few days, Shen Ge endured grueling training sessions. His diet was strictly regulated to optimize his physical conditioning, making every day a living hell.
Strangely, despite wandering around, he hadn’t triggered a single “special event”—if not for the system functioning normally otherwise, he might’ve thought it had gone into hibernation after absorbing the formless entity.
With no events to trigger, he focused solely on training and keeping up with the [Logs].
These logs also unraveled several mysteries.
[January 13, 2028] Based on your tip, the patrol team captured the woman. Interrogation revealed she was from Japan—their objective seemed to be a specific supernatural entity with unique traits hidden in Rong City. They had planned to use you to infiltrate the organization and locate it.
Unfortunately, despite harsh interrogation, she refused to disclose which entity they were after.
That night, she escaped custody.
[January 14, 2028] You joined the organization in searching the area within a 10-kilometer radius of the invisible eerie domain. After confirming no other survivors remained, you reported that the “Annihilation Plan” could proceed.
Back at the base, you collected your weekly resource allocation and returned to your dorm—only to notice the lock had been tampered with.
Activating the “Silent” trait, you pried open the neighboring dorm’s door and climbed back into your room via the balcony. The room was pitch-black, but your silent movements made you one with the darkness. Then, you detected faint breathing from the corner.
Familiar with the room’s layout, you suddenly struck—kicking the coffee table straight into the hidden intruder. A soft gasp confirmed their position. You lunged with a combat knife, engaging in a fierce fight.
After an intense struggle, you subdued the target. Turning on the lights, you saw it was the same woman you’d reported earlier.
Staring at this spy—now battered yet wearing a “broken” expression—you silently pulled out your phone and called the patrol team again.
The woman gazed at you with half-lidded eyes, licking her lips, her ample cleavage on full display. In fluent Japanese, she murmured:
“Ah, sublime~ Shen-san, truly worthy of being the organization’s chosen one. If you cooperate with us, they’re willing to offer me… and a Tier 4 supernatural artifact as rewards.”
[January 15, 2028] The patrol team took the woman away for further interrogation. The leader informed you: After a Tier 8 entity obliterated Hiroshima, Japan’s domestic situation had grown dire. They were now seeking more powerful entities to “fight supernatural with supernatural.”
Once supernatural entities reached Tier 4 or higher, conventional weapons became far less effective. Worse, many could convert nuclear energy into supernatural energy—much like Japan’s iconic Godzilla, which treated radiation as food.
During last year’s global supernatural outbreak, the U.S. and India attempted to nuke Tier 6 entities, only to end up creating two Tier 7 entities instead. The cities were lost, and nuclear weapons were sealed worldwide afterward.
Then, late last year, the U.S. recorded its first successful elimination of a Tier 7 entity. Though the details were suppressed, international anti-supernatural organizations uncovered traces and demanded disclosure. It turned out they’d sacrificed three Tier 5 artifacts, one Tier 6 artifact, and suffered heavy casualties to achieve it.
Thus, the “Fight Supernatural with Supernatural” strategy became a top global research priority. By December, a certain nation had successfully defeated a Tier 6 entity at the cost of two Tier 5 artifacts—and its corpse was now stored in Rong City’s military center.
The leader suspected Japan’s target was precisely this Tier 6 corpse and ordered you to lead patrols in sweeping the city center for infiltrators.
[January 16, 2028] The “Invisible Eerie Domain Annihilation Plan” commenced. The higher-ups deployed “** Anti-Supernatural Missiles”** against Tom’s Supermarket.
Yet satellite footage showed that while the supermarket was leveled into a crater, a blue, blood-like flood surged through the city. You were urgently tasked with evacuating residents—within half a day, half of Rong City was submerged. The submerged areas turned transparent, making it near-impossible to locate the formless entity.
The Anti-Supernatural Missile Plan had failed.
[January 17, 2028] You successfully evacuated Rong City.
[January 18, 2028] You and other survivors reached Quanlong Mountain Base. The organization was absorbed into the Anti-Supernatural Special Operations Division, and you became an official member.
“Huh?”
Shen Ge never expected his future self to join the division this way.
[January 19, 2028] As a newly minted elite agent, your first mission was to play along with the woman and infiltrate the enemy’s ranks.
Shen Ge: “…Goddammit.”
