Chengyang City's new district pedestrian street.

The Supernatural Handling Team Two had just arrived after their gathering was interrupted to assess the situation and entered collectively. The police had also promptly set up a perimeter to keep the public away.

Astonishingly, the paranormal blockade on the street vanished instantly just under ten minutes after Team Two entered!

The police nearby the street immediately went on high alert.

After all, fierce ghosts breaking through a supernatural blockade to escape isn't uncommon.

But the next second, they heard people talking and laughing from the end of the street—

"You've only been in the capital for half a month, how can you have improved so dramatically? How did you find the main body just now?"

"We got pretty lucky on this trip, no deaths among the public, just a few trapped with minor injuries, thanks to Shadow!"

"He's changing his code name now, hahaha!"

"..."

Then, the entire Supernatural Handling Team Two came out with dozens of trapped individuals behind them, handing them over to the police for processing.

At this moment, the official follow-up handling units also happened to arrive, and everyone was dumbfounded to see the supernatural incident already resolved.

Have the frontline guys become so efficient now!?

At this moment, as the trapped individuals were handed over to the police, someone excitedly said, "Shadow! Was the person who rescued us Shadow?"

Hearing this, most people, who due to fear hadn't paid attention to the specific members of the official Team Two, now raised their heads towards the other end, looking thoughtfully at Wu Liang.

Soon after, passersby who spotted Wu Liang's young face became excited!

"Holy crap! Is it really Shadow himself?"

"Wow, that fight we saw on the news before was incredibly exaggerated! It still feels vivid even now!"

"Mom, I just saw a real superhero."

"..."

Click, click, click—

Many people even took out their phones and started taking pictures of Wu Liang and others.

Seeing the surrounding people starting to get restless, He Zhan patted Wu Liang on the shoulder with a smile and said, "You're a big name now, kid!"

"Huh?"

Wu Liang, who had just woken up today, had no idea why it seemed like the whole city recognized him overnight.

Seeing his bewildered expression, the Priest took out his phone and handed it over, casually opening a video app.

Among the top-played videos, there was news live content from a few days ago of Wu Liang battling the [Ghost Valley].

At the sight of the video, Wu Liang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He had underestimated the value of Huaxia's first city-destroying level crisis in the past three years; people all over the country were eager to learn the truth about Chengyang City from various channels, let alone the locals.

Not to mention, Wu Liang's current fame and influence in Chengyang City truly surpassed any national star.

After all, stars can only offer emotional value, while Wu Liang offers life safety!

"Minister Long hasn't told you, has he? There's a news conference tonight that you need to attend," He Zhan said, somewhat confused.

Wu Liang felt a headache hearing the words "news conference."

How did things develop to this point?

He thought explaining his identity to his official partners would be troublesome enough, but there was something bigger waiting for him!

"To calm the public's panic, a news conference has already been held once, but at that time you were still asleep, so now that you're awake, you'll need to make a public appearance. Ask Minister Long for details."

"By the way, you've been an official Awakened for so long, but haven't been interviewed yet, have you?"

He Zhan said, with some thought.

After all, the Paranormal Handling Department has been involving in the city's law enforcement system for a few years now, and although it is of utmost importance, gaining public recognition still requires various promotions.

Like this Team Two, except for Jin Chenghua, whose Mandarin is too abstract as a foreigner, almost every member has been on the news.

After handling a supernatural incident, they would occasionally wait for reporters to report it and explain the situation.

But Wu Liang has been the exception; ever since he joined, he's been busy with various tasks, completely ignoring the media.

"Uh, sorry Brother He, I actually often appear at interview scenes, but I'm the one holding the microphone, remember?" Wu Liang said awkwardly, shrinking his head.

"Damn! I remember now! You're a freaking journalist!"

Suddenly recalling that the kid has always been working as a journalist in society, previously alternating between acting as Shadow and conducting interviews as a journalist!

Others also remembered that Wu Liang was indeed a journalist and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Well, that makes it easier. Go prepare your own speech draft when the time comes, I won't bother guiding you, showcase your strengths!" He Zhan said helplessly.

......

The news conference quickly arrived in the evening.

Essentially, the news conference held by Minister Long on the day after the crisis was lifted already served to pacify the public and clarify the parts of the truth that could be shared with the public.

This time Wu Liang's presence was merely to provide firsthand reassurance as someone personally involved in the events!

So, apart from the first time facing cameras or holding a microphone, he was very familiar with the basic process!

To his surprise, among the reporters interviewing, he saw the figures of Li Guoqiang and Jiang Min.

When these two saw him, their expressions were extremely complex, like suddenly discovering that their work buddy was actually the world's richest man doing a lifestyle experiment.

After the news conference ended.

Wu Liang also privately found Jiang Min.

"Hey, Sister Jiang, up for a late-night snack? I remember there's a good barbecue stall nearby."

Hearing the same cheerful and cheeky voice as before, Jiang Min finally showed a helpless expression and nodded to indicate no problem.

Among the reporters on the helicopter back then—she was actually there.

Watching from the air the familiar face engage in fierce battle until collapsing from exhaustion after the victory and being taken by the official medical team.

The worry and few tears in Jiang Min's eyes were unavoidable, even if the other side was still in Shadow's identity with that distinctive scar on the face.

For some reason, she just had this feeling in her heart that "this person is Wu Liang, definitely not some Wu Ming."

Finally, after today's news conference.

She finally fully grasped the facts!

"You came to me... you should have other matters, right?" After arriving at the barbecue stall and sitting down, Jiang Min looked Wu Liang in the eyes and said seriously.

"Yes, I want to recommend you to go to the capital and help with supernatural research."

Wu Liang was ordering barbecue while casually saying something utterly astonishing.

Seeing Jiang Min's completely stunned expression, he picked up a skewer of grilled beef, chewing it with full enjoyment, explaining unclearly, "Sister Jiang, I know you were previously confirmed not to be an Awakened, but you don't know another possibility."

After swallowing the food, Wu Liang's mouth was greasy, but he spoke earnestly:

"You might be a Symbiont! Your predictive ability is provided by a fierce ghost!"
