After getting out of the car, Chu Feng completely ignored the smiling faces that came up to greet him and walked indifferently into the hotel lobby.

The blonde woman who followed him out of the car could only hastily greet her boss when she saw Chu Feng's retreating figure, then quickly followed him in her clicking high-heeled leather boots.

"What's your name?"

In the elevator, Chu Feng's sudden question startled the blonde woman.

"Tonya, Mr. Chu Feng. You can call me Tonya."

Seeing her cautious demeanor, the indifference on Chu Feng's face finally softened a bit.

"Don't be nervous, Tonya, I'm not some flood beast!"

"Okay!" The blonde woman verbally agreed but muttered to herself, Although you're not a flood beast, you are an Exorcist who deals with even more terrifying Bizarre... If it wasn't for the high salary of this job, I would have quit long ago!

Looking at Tonya's still tense face, Chu Feng shook his head, losing the desire for small talk.

The elevator, occupied by just the two of them, fell back into silence.

DING.

With a crisp sound, the elevator doors opened.

"Mr. Chu Feng, your room is this way. Please follow me."

Under Tonya's guidance, Chu Feng quickly arrived at the door of his room. He took the room card she handed over and watched as she immediately turned to leave. After a moment of contemplation, he still spoke up.

"Tonya, a piece of advice for you: leave this city as soon as possible, the farther the better!" With those words, Chu Feng used the card to open the door and walked in.

"Ah? Why?" Hearing Chu Feng's words from behind, Tonya quickly turned around and asked in confusion.

However, when she turned back, she saw only a door that had just closed.

Did I hear that wrong? What did the Exorcist mean with that last piece of advice? Is something going to happen here?

Filled with doubts, Tonya instinctively thought of the Bizarre snowstorm that struck the city every night on the dot.

But didn't Mr. Katlan say that the federal government's people would completely resolve it by tomorrow?

Torn about who to listen to and already dealing with mild indecisiveness, it looked like Tonya was in for a sleepless night.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng, who had already entered his room, had no mind to care about Tonya's thoughts outside.

He was activating his Spiritual Perception, carefully searching the interior of the room, fearing the possibility that the unscrupulous federal government might have planted something like a pinhole camera.

Fortunately, after a thorough check, even though he found some spots that might have once contained something, they had all been removed.

It seems my warning did have some effect!

After another look around, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

Finally at ease, Chu Feng took a bath and then lay down on the soft bed, pulling out his phone.

"Mr. Chu Feng, the federal government's star Exorcist program has started!"

Looking at the message and image that had just come in on his phone, Chu Feng's smile slowly faded as he opened the image and studied its contents closely.

"Bizarre Arrival in the Snowstorm!"

"The City Lost in the Snow!"

"Fairbanks, a City Haunted by the Bizarre."

"Who Will Save It! Fairbanks."

"..."

All sorts of news headlines pointed to the very city beneath Chu Feng's feet, with countless media, social networking sites, and news feeds filled with the name of Fairbanks City.

Perhaps this is the first time this small city has appeared before the eyes of all Americans! Unfortunately, it's not in the best light.

So they're starting the first round of hype already? Isn't that a bit too eager? Are they really so confident that they can resolve this Bizarre?

Seeing the farce orchestrated under the guidance of the federal government, Chu Feng was for a moment at a loss for words.

Should I say that the other party is too confident? But obviously, as a globally recognized superpower, it should indeed be confident, although it is slowly declining.

Too bad, confidence is just confidence. It can't do any harm to that Bizarre in the city.

After closing the chat window, Chu Feng went online to browse the internet himself.

It has to be said, once America's propaganda machine starts up, its power indeed appears quite terrifying. Various articles are appearing incessantly before me. They're trying to pique interest in Fairbanks City from all sorts of angles.

Chu Feng even saw a photo of himself standing at the hotel entrance in the accompanying images of an article.

However, the photo was of such low quality that it was impossible to recognize him unless one was the person in question.

Are they laying the groundwork already? Should I charge a fee for my appearance?

After looking for a while and roughly understanding the other party's tactics, Chu Feng chuckled and shook his head.

I'd like to see how you're going to wrap things up when you fail tomorrow!

Finding it rather pointless, Chu Feng tossed his phone aside and closed his eyes.

Although my task for tomorrow is just to protect civilians, I might still encounter that Bizarre. It's better to rest and build up my energy, just in case.

...

Meanwhile, in Eielson Air Force Base, the lights were still bright, and a military transport plane had just landed.

As the cargo door of the transport plane opened, two fully armed elite squads with masks covering their faces swiftly disembarked.

Under the orders of an officer who had been waiting nearby for some time, over twenty soldiers quickly boarded vehicles with their equipment. Accompanied by falling snowflakes, the group swiftly disappeared into the night.

...

The next day at noon, Tonya gently knocked on Chu Feng's door.

"Mr. Chu Feng, your lunch!"

Chu Feng opened the door and looked at the young girl who appeared before him again and the food cart beside her, though he did not intend to let her in.

"You can take that back. I've already eaten!"

Hearing Chu Feng's indifferent voice, Tonya was somewhat baffled.

Could it be that Exorcists, when they become powerful enough, don't need to eat? And I haven't seen him leave his room at all!

Just as Chu Feng was about to close the door, she quickly extended her hand to stop it.

"Mr. Chu Feng, since you've already had lunch, I was wondering if you'd like to take a look at the work site for tonight."

Remembering the task her supervisor had just assigned her, Tonya's eyes held a hopeful look. He absolutely has to agree!

Just as Chu Feng was about to speak, his eyebrows furrowed, the lights in the hotel corridor suddenly went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

Only Chu Feng's open door allowed some light from the outside windows to stream in.

However, because it was still a gloomy, overcast day outside, this meager light only reached the area directly in front of Chu Feng's door.

"A power outage? Why hasn't the emergency power come on?"

The sudden situation didn't seem to scare Tonya; instead, she took out her phone, intending to find out what was happening.
