Bonus 6 Part 1

The bar was filled with a sweet and cloying floral scent, and the shadows of people moved about under the ambiguous lighting, like a group of whispering beasts.

A drunken young girl stumbled towards a man in the corner, whom she had been eyeing for a while.

He was wearing a dark jacket that was typically worn by retired civil servants, and his shoulders were unusually broad and straight, exuding a chilly and restrained aura that was out of place in the decadent environment.

The aura of being too independent and unique always attracted teenage girls who were going through their rebellious phase.

The young girl held two bottles of beer in her hand, her heavily made-up face grinning as she slammed one of the bottles in front of the man, striking a pose that she thought was seductive.

"Brother, this bottle is on me..."

As she was speaking, she met a pair of clear and cold eyes.

The girl felt as if she had been splashed with cold water, and was half awakened from her drunken state.

The man glanced at her and frowned, "Are you of legal age? Show me your ID."

The girl: "..."

What was wrong with this guy?

Before the man could say anything else, he suddenly paused and listened for a moment.

He turned to the empty seat next to him and said, "Watch out for this little troublemaker."

The girl was startled and took a step back, only to realize that the seat next to the man was not empty.

There was a delicate puppet sitting there, which politely smiled at her.

The young girl shuddered, and the remaining half of her drunkenness evaporated with her cold sweat.

Her wrist suddenly felt cold, and the metal decoration on the table transformed into a pair of handcuffs, shackling her to the corner of the table.

The guy with the dark jacket was gone!

"Don't be afraid, please have a seat," the puppet said gently. "I should offer you an ice cream, but it's better not to eat anything here."

"What..."

Just then, there was a light sound of something breaking, like a glass shattering.

Immediately after, the lazy jazz music in the bar abruptly stopped, and the colorful lights in the bar suddenly went dark, leaving only a small, bleak light in the corner. There was a moment of silence, and then everyone who hadn't passed out collectively screamed.

The bleak light cast a huge shadow on the wall, revealing a monstrous giant spider!

With a "whoosh," something flew past the girl's temple and she instinctively fell back into the booth.

The intoxicating scent of flowers dissipated, replaced by the pungent odor of the poorly ventilated bar.

The giant wolf spider must have realized it had been discovered and made a move, darting straight up to the roof.

Its body was easily a meter in diameter, covered in a mass of furry legs that moved so quickly they were a blur.

As soon as it hit the roof, a golden web dropped down, scorching several of the creature's legs and eliciting a fierce roar.

The spider could even make noise!

It struggled fiercely and managed to break free from the web.

The golden web must have had some quality issues because it quickly tore apart, allowing the struggling spider to pierce straight through it and plummet from the roof, hurtling towards the girl's head.

The girl was completely stunned, frozen in place and unable to remember to hide.

Suddenly, the handcuffs on her wrist transformed into a thin metal shield, blocking above her head. At the same time, the puppet sitting dignifiedly across from her darted in front of her with incredible agility.

He formed a seal with his hands, and a string of broken blades flew out of his palms.

Even though they were shattered fragments, the sharp edges remained, slicing the spider's legs into several pieces, which fell to the ground with a loud thud.

It wasn't until then that several black-clad figures rushed out from the corner, frantically using a special cage to capture the spider.

"We got it!"

"Be careful of its venom, adjust the isolation cage!"

"Hey, you guys! Don't just focus on the spider, watch out for people too!"

The puppet sighed and his little face showed an extremely human expression of helplessness.

This group of spider catchers with low skills had a few close calls while they were trying to catch crippled wolf spider. It took them quite a bit of chaos and commotion to finally capture it.

The leader of the group, a young girl with a baby face and acne, pushed back her hat and wiped off some sweat before approaching the wooden puppet known as Instructor Zhi Chun.

She buzzed as softly as a mosquito, "Instructor Zhi Chun."

The wooden puppet, with a stern expression, remained silent and pointed to the frightened girl next to him.

The young spider catchers understood and lined up like waiters who accidentally spilled wine on a customer, bowing in unison and asking, "We're sorry for scaring you. Do you need us to take you to the hospital?"

The delinquent girl huddled in the booth, trembling as she clutched her metal shield.

Instinctively, she responded, "I'm...I'm fine."

The team leader stood up straight, cautiously looking at Zhi Chun.

"Instructor, are our points still deducted?"

Zhi Chun stared at her expressionlessly for a moment before finally giving in to the pitiful look in her eyes.

"Deducting points isn't the issue. It's to teach you a lesson. Otherwise, if you make the same mistake during a mission, it'll be too late. Who will take responsibility if something goes wrong and there's no one to cover for you?"

These young people are all from the Youth Training Institute of the Bureau of Paranormal Control.

Since the resurgence of the Chiyuan, paranormal activity has increased significantly, and the new generation of special abilities among young people got lucky, with plenty of internship opportunities.

After four years of training, their final internship task is to pick one of the abnormal events reported and solve it as a team, with an instructor accompanying them as a backup, and carry out field work.

They can only graduate after passing the assessment.

However, it seems that this group has failed miserably, with a bunch of interns hanging their heads in disappointment.

Zhi Chun, feeling sympathetic, wanted to go easy on them: "I'll let it go this time, but each of you has to write a reflective summary and submit it by the weekend..."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a loud bang, and a middle-aged man flew out from behind the counter and landed headfirst in front of the wolf spider cage.

Someone shouted, "Isn't that Boss Song?"

The middle-aged man was lying on the ground in a sorry state, his pupils shrinking into dots, and his mouth revealing a pair of sharp teeth.

Zhi Chun narrowed his eyes, about to take action, when suddenly a metal buckle on the man's collar exploded, turning into a piece of metal foil that sealed his mouth shut.

The man with the sharp teeth saw that the situation was not good, and suddenly transformed into a shadow, slipping through the dense tables and chairs and rushing towards the door.

At this moment, the man in the dark jacket who had been behind the counter walked out leisurely, lighting a cigarette with one hand and grabbing at the air with the other.
