"Captain Wang said, 'Just now, there have been reports from various places about large terrifying creatures invading urban areas. It's already spread online, and public opinion can no longer be suppressed.'
'Everyone is saying: red rain falls from the sky, a sign of the supernatural. Now, various cities are starting to issue warnings; it's a normal occurrence.'
'There are many who believe it, but even more who do not. Where are you now?'
Li Caishu didn't know how to explain that they had just encountered a terrifying creature attack. They also realized that Chen Yue could indeed see that strange cloud.
At a critical moment, Old Lu took the phone away and said to Captain Wang, 'I'm afraid this really isn't a normal phenomenon. It has something to do with that child from today. You need to contact someone from the Special Regulatory Bureau; do you remember what that person said ten years ago?'
Captain Wang was silent for a long time before he said in a daze, 'You... mean, ten years as the term, blood rain as the beginning, rivers as the guide, beasts surging from the cracks in the sky, the earth collapsing to welcome the king, evil living forever, self-proclaiming as gods, creating a new world.'
'Exactly. So something is off; the timing and the beginning match up. The prophecy might be coming true. According to the prophecy, with rivers as the guide, what comes next will be—'
Captain Wang and Old Lu said simultaneously, 'Global flooding.'
There was a loud thud on Captain Wang's side; it seemed his phone had dropped on the ground. After buzzing a few times, he said, 'I'm calling the Regulatory Bureau now; you all hurry back to the office. By the way, bring that child you think is suspicious along; he hasn't gone home yet, right?'
'No, there was an accident; we'll talk about it later,' Old Lu replied. The phone buzzed twice again before it was hung up.
After hanging up, Old Lu looked up and found Li Caishu and Chen Yue staring at him intently with clear curiosity in their eyes.
Old Lu sighed and chuckled a bit. He started the car and said, 'I'll talk to you while I drive.'
'I originally signed a confidentiality agreement, but that was only for those ten years. From this second onward, it's no longer a secret.'
'Both Captain Wang and I are part of the Special Regulatory Bureau.'
The Special Regulatory Bureau is divided into upper, middle, and lower divisions.
The upper division consists of high-ranking officials who manage everything.
The middle division comprises individuals with special abilities who are primarily combatants.
The lower division consists of ordinary people, generally made up of local law enforcement officers who focus on social interaction and community engagement.
Li Caishu was unhappy and said, 'Why am I not part of it?!'
Old Lu smiled and replied, 'Compared to Captain Wang, your position isn't sufficient.'
'What about you?' Li Caishu asked.
'You didn't die because of that conspiracy involving your son,' Old Lu said calmly."
"Your son is... dead because of this?" Li Caishu knew he had said the wrong thing, but Old Lu didn't mind.
"Back then, my son was eight years old, very young, just started elementary school. I was at work, my wife was at home, and my son was at school."
When school ended, my wife went to pick up our child, but the teacher looked puzzled and said, "Didn’t you just pick up your son?"
My wife panicked and insisted on checking the surveillance footage. Later, it turned out that indeed my wife had picked up the child. She called me, and I immediately took leave to go to the elementary school gate.
My wife was already in a state of panic and had low blood sugar, so I told her to go home and rest while I figured things out.
In truth, I had no idea what to do but could only try to calm my wife down first.
I am a police officer, so I accessed the surveillance footage as an officer. The school cooperated fully, but no matter how closely I watched the footage, the woman who took my son looked exactly like my wife.
I even suspected that this woman might be my wife's long-lost twin sister.
Until Captain Wang came to me with a sympathetic expression and said, "Your son... may have met with an accident."
At that moment, I completely forgot he was my superior and cursed at him. I said, "You’re talking nonsense! Even if my son was taken into a village ditch, I could still rescue him!"
Captain Wang didn’t care about my tone; he knew I was anxious. He said, "Unfortunately, he wasn't abducted."
"What do you know?" My earlier aggression faded as I hurriedly asked.
Captain Wang took me to a desolate hilltop and told me to close my eyes. I felt a flash of white light before opening them again to see a scene that would be unforgettable for life.
A very solemn and serious office filled with stark white bones; in the corner lay about a dozen skulls.
I felt heavy breathing as I stared in shock at Captain Wang. He said, "Now that you've seen this, you are officially part of the Special Regulatory Bureau."
Later, a man in his fifties entered; he was a high-ranking official from the bureau.
He informed me that after investigation, my son was born at midnight on July 15th.
Just a week prior, a Prophet had said: "Ten years from now, the apocalypse will come, and the harbinger of this end will be born at midnight on July 15th."
At this point, Chen Yue asked, "But there are more than one person born at midnight on July 15th. How could they all be killed?"
Old Lu replied: "And that Evil Son will definitely come of age ten years later. So the child born at that time who is now eight years old is likely the Evil Son."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue's eyes flickered as he pressed his thin lips together. He turned to look out the window so no one could see his unusual expression.
The dim streetlight reflected on Chen Yue's face; it darkened slightly as he concealed his unease and fear.
And also relief.
The child will destroy the entire Earth.
So, that Prophet united his followers to launch a frenzied massacre. The Special Regulatory Bureau turned a blind eye because this Prophet had never been wrong.
After learning all this, I don't know how I walked out of the Special Regulatory Bureau. I only know that I returned home in a daze and told my wife. We cried together, my wife sobbing and biting my shoulder to vent her emotions while I just cried, allowing her to release her feelings.
I had no way out; there was nothing I could do. Captain Wang told me directly that my son might threaten the entire world. If my son had still been alive at that time, I would have done everything in my power to save him.
But my son was already dead, and I couldn't gamble with the safety of my other loved ones. The deceased are gone; the living must take precedence.
Later, I entered the Special Regulatory Bureau. As soon as I got in, I declared that ten years later, I would leave the Special Regulatory Bureau. If the prophecy were false and my son died unjustly, I would personally kill that so-called Prophet. If the prophecy were true, I would definitely slay the real Evil Son to honor my son's spirit.
"Today, if the prophecy comes true, I am no longer a member of the Bureau; as a father, I will personally kill the Evil Son."
"The story is over; get out of the car." Old Lu lit another cigarette, opened the car door with one hand, and smoke swirled around his face, obscuring his features.
Chen Yue looked out the window at the familiar police station; it hadn't been long since he left, yet here he was again.
Chen Yue got out of the car and saw a man whose lower face was completely covered by a white beard. He stared at Chen Yue for quite some time before speaking with sharp eyes like an eagle: "How old are you?"
