Friday is the day when working people are least in the mood to work, with everyone discussing their weekend plans.

However, this day is also the busiest for some people.

Members of the Suffering Poetry Society suddenly appeared.

They seem to possess a power that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

They can evade the locks and pursuit of modern technology.

Soon, similar phenomena as before reappeared.

And this time, they did not bother to hide.

Extraordinary power!

Those with some senior research experience in World No. 8 immediately recognized the power they were using.

Could it be...

Have they already mastered the extraordinary power to infiltrate the real world?!

The only relief is that their power seems to currently only target Life Card Masters with Soul Cards. But remember, half a month ago, they could only use extraordinary power through dueling.

But no one knows if they will develop the power to affect ordinary people if left unchecked.

The Modu Exploration Bureau immediately mobilized all its members, equipping them with compulsory duel modules.

They must intercept them before they make too much impact on reality.

As proven, criminals daring to run rampant in Modu often possess superior dueling skills themselves.

According to intelligence from the Exploration Bureau, these attackers have the minimum strength of a sixth-tier Life Card Master.

Even the Modu Exploration Bureau has few members with such rank and power.

Regardless of whether they can defeat the opponent, Exploration Bureau members must initiate compulsory duels to buy time for reinforcements.

Wu Ziqin received news of yet another member's sacrifice. He had been defeated in a duel, stabbed through the heart by the enemy's follower, without a chance for rescue, dying on the spot.

He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes, they were filled with growing determination.

This is a necessary sacrifice.

Including himself.

The Exploration Bureau is the barrier between the extraordinary and reality.

When the walls of reality are breached, they are the frontline.

"Director, there's no need for you to come personally," Ye Qing said anxiously.

"No need to say more. I am a Life Card Master myself; in the face of such an attack, one more person blocking is one more hope." Wu Ziqin raised his hand, "Split up, and if you encounter an attacker, immediately initiate a compulsory duel. The compulsory duel module will share your location with everyone, and all nearby people will come immediately until the attacker is defeated, understand?"

"But Director!"

"The country and people spend trillions every year training us to prevent the invasion of extraordinary power from the Soul Card World! Now is the time for us to fulfill our duties! If we shrink back now, how are we different from the parasites of the Life Card Association?" Wu Ziqin shouted.

Having said this, he ignored further persuasion and walked resolutely towards the mall that had just been reported as attacked.

In the mall, most of the customers and merchants had already evacuated, with only the fire drill alarm still ringing continuously.

After today, it's estimated that the internet will be abuzz about what madness the Modu government was up to, with disaster drills everywhere.

Wu Ziqin looked at the empty mall, giving a bitter smile in his heart.

But how to cover up this matter is not the Exploration Bureau's concern.

His only duty now is to completely end the attack by the extraordinary.

Unlike the younger members of the Exploration Bureau accustomed to sitting in offices, Wu Ziqin, though advanced in years, had maintained the exercise habits cultivated from his earlier years of struggle, allowing him to leave many subordinates behind while running.

By the time he reached the marked location, he was the only one left around.

Wu Ziqin glanced at the dueling device that continuously sounded the alarm, showing a heavy expression.

The preceding member's compulsory duel had not ended, firmly holding the attacker in place.

Undoubtedly, if he were defeated, he would be next.

What would be the consequence of a failed compulsory duel? Wu Ziqin, who had been bombarded with bad news all morning, knew all too well.

To date, twelve Exploration Bureau members had died due to compulsory duels, and three were still in rescue.

Ah, spoke too big...

Wu Ziqin mocked himself internally.

Is one still prone to fear at such moments?

At such an age, what am I showing off for?

Wouldn't it be better to play chess with Old Li in the office?

Just as Wu Ziqin was mocking himself, two figures appeared before him, their forms gradually solidifying.

Wu Ziqin saw a familiar figure.

Zhou Han.

A very promising young man, smart and honest, though recently a member of the Exploration Bureau, had already gotten along well with colleagues.

Did he win?

How much Wu Ziqin wished this was the result.

However, reality was cruel.

The moment the Duel Realm faded, Zhou Han's chest suddenly developed a large hole.

No blood spilled, as if it had appeared out of thin air.

Countless maggots crawled from the hole, seemingly intent on devouring Zhou Han slowly.

Zhou Han's face twitched in pain, yet he gritted his teeth, refusing to utter a cry.

He seemed to sense the gaze from behind and turned around with difficulty, only to see an unexpected figure with white hair.

"Di... rector..."

Zhou Han seemed to want to say something, but the maggots had already consumed his vocal cords, and all his sounds became distorted, muffled vibrations.

The young man clutched his throat, falling in agony, lifeless.

"Oh? Is there another one seeking death?"

Zhou Han's opponent, a man with an unclear pattern etched across his face, looked at Wu Ziqin with interest.

He stuck out his tongue, licking his lips, and let out a sharp, arrogant laugh: "From what this fool said, you seem to be the director of the Modu Exploration Bureau? Seems I've stumbled upon a big deal today!"

With that, without warning, a phantom dashed out from behind him.

This was a phantom only Life Card Masters could see.

A gigantic venomous snake issuing a terrifying roar.

At this moment, Wu Ziqin's eyes steadied.

He raised his hand, illuminating the dueling device immediately.

Compulsory duel module activated...

Whiz~!

A slight whooshing sound was heard.

The giant snake instinctively shielded its master, intercepting what flew towards him.

The man frowned, retrieving a card from the snake's mouth.

"Bullying the elderly isn't an encouraged behavior."

A man's voice came from the mall's corridor, carrying a hint of sarcasm and arrogance.

"Who?!" the man shouted angrily.

A young man in a white T-shirt appeared before the two.

He stood with his hands in his pockets, placing the coffee can he held on the railing:

"An Hai of the An Family from Lingnan, pleased to make your acquaintance."
