"The Tianhua Shopping Mall incident was extremely serious, with only a few survivors out of the citizens who were inside at the time. Most of the rescued survivors were also mentally traumatized!"

The head of the Jiangyang Division of the Special Supernatural Execution Bureau spoke with a heavy tone, almost a week after the shopping mall incident. They had tallied up the horrifying casualty figures: less than thirty people had survived the entire ordeal.

The people in charge of counting the numbers inside the mall had to be swapped out repeatedly due to the immense psychological toll. The stench of blood from the mall, caused by the mysterious black fog, lingered and caused the surrounding residents and shop owners to flee.

That bustling area had become a ghost town.

"Chengfeng, you were the team leader at the time, can you summarize what happened for us?"

The head of the division sighed and called out Li Chengfeng's name.

Li Chengfeng looked at the other colleagues in the meeting room and stood up. "I went into the mall and followed the sound of a loud noise up to the third floor, where I found terrible footprints and fist marks. I followed them all the way to the rooftop..."

He recounted everything he had seen and his conversation with the mysterious werewolf, causing the entire meeting room to erupt in chaos and confusion.

"Li Chengfeng, not only did you neglect your duty, you betrayed humanity!"

"Shameful and despicable! How could the Special Supernatural Execution Bureau have someone like you, who colludes with the supernatural?"

Several irate Supernatural Execution Bureau members pounded on the table and hurled insults at Li Chengfeng. They all shared a deep hatred for the supernatural and could not tolerate any action that could be seen as colluding with them.

Li Chengfeng remained silent and took on the brunt of the anger and accusations. He understood the attitude of the others, but he also held firm in his beliefs.

"Silence!"

The head of the division, Zhang Zhong, spoke calmly and it was clear he had known about the incident for a while. After the incident that day, Li Chengfeng had met with him secretly for an hour.

The emotional Supernatural Execution Bureau members had no choice but to sit down, glaring at Li Chengfeng in disgust.

"Don't forget, the weapons you wield to fight the supernatural are also products of the supernatural!" Zhang Zhong said sternly. He had considerable influence in the division. "We are weak and the supernatural is ubiquitous. If we don't find a way to overcome them, Jiangyang will become another human hell like Jiangyin!"

"Director, how can we trust the supernatural? They are demons that massacre humans!" A member of the Supernatural Execution Bureau asked incredulously.

"I didn't believe it at first, but among the survivors we rescued, several said that they were saved by the werewolf." Zhang Zhong sighed and surveyed the comrades in the meeting room. "Chengfeng told me that the werewolf was highly intelligent, had no interest in harming humans, and had a clear objective - it may need to consume the supernatural to grow itself."

"Doesn't that mean we're raising a tiger?" Another female Supernatural Execution Bureau member immediately realized the consequences. "What do we do when it grows into a terrifying creature?"

"Indeed, I have also anticipated this outcome!" Zhang Zhong nodded, but then changed the topic.

"That's why I reported it to headquarters, and the high command believes that we should form a special project team.""On the one hand, we need to establish contact with the mysterious werewolf, and on the other hand, we must monitor its actions and be prepared to eliminate it if necessary!"

The people in the conference room became serious and attentive. They knew that the organization's mission was about to begin!

"I hereby announce that the Special Task Force is now established!" Zhang Zhong looked at Li Chengfeng and said, "Chengfeng, I appoint you as the deputy team leader. You will be responsible for communicating with the mysterious werewolf, as well as arranging all the necessary resources and manpower for the operation!"

"Understood!" Li Chengfeng nodded. He had anticipated his responsibilities ever since he chose to reveal the truth.

Zhang Zhong appointed several other Slayers to various positions in the team, but had not yet named the team leader.

As others in the room became increasingly puzzled, Zhang Zhong explained, "The headquarters will send specially-trained Slayers to guide and provide combat support. They will serve as the team leaders!"

"Yes!"

Everyone in the room responded in agreement. They had no objections, as the headquarters' Slayers were all highly skilled, and the mission was more likely to succeed under their leadership.

"Operation code name: Captive Wolf! Dismissed!"

After Zhang Zhong finished his announcement, he picked up the documents and left the conference room.

Other Slayers gradually got up and left as well, but some still stared at Li Chengfeng with disdain.

They would follow any task assigned by the organization, but that didn't mean they had to like it.

Li Chengfeng sat in his chair with no expression, but his hand trembled unnaturally under the table. Clearly, his emotions were unstable.

After all, everyone had feelings, and being ostracized by his colleagues made him uneasy.

"Chengfeng... you're a brave child... you must live on!" Li Chengfeng recalled his teacher's words before his death, and couldn't help but shed tears. His tears fell heavily onto the conference table, soaking his clothes.

Although he happened to slay the mysterious creature in the ancient tomb, he was unable to save his teacher, who died inside the tomb.

"Slayer of the Weird, returning to the heavens without regrets, even if I face certain death!" Li Chengfeng wiped away his tears and regained his determination.
