Chapter 43 Extraordinary, Key

What is this for? Pouring water? Even if there is water in it, how much water can a gourd the size of two fingers hold? Just as Zhang Xiaohu was about to remind Yun Manshan that he had water here, the scene he saw the next second exceeded his twenty-year cognition.

A stream of clear water as thick as a chopstick poured out from the small gourd. The sound of the water stirring the bottom of the cup told Zhang Xiaohu that it was an empty cup. But as the sound from the cup became louder and louder, Zhang Xiaohu knew that the cup was being continuously filled with water until the water overflowed the cup and dripped onto the car seat.

squeak!
The car braked suddenly, but Yun Manshan seemed to be prepared and covered the cup with a lid in advance to prevent the water in the cup from spilling.

"Water, water, how is this possible?!" Not caring about the dangerous driving just now, Zhang Xiaohu's voice trembled. The scene just now completely overturned his understanding of physics.

The small hanging gourd can pour out a volume of water that is totally inconsistent with its capacity. What a joke! Is this some kind of black technology developed secretly by the state, space technology? Or...
"magic?"

"Magic?" Yun Manshan played with the miniature gourd on her fingertips.

"All magic tricks use props or superb techniques to deceive the audience's vision. In the final analysis, it is a trick of the eyes. But did you see me use any confusing tricks just now?"

Yun Manshan said as she threw the miniature gourd in her hand to Zhang Xiaohu, who quickly took it and carefully held it in his palm. Then, at Yun Manshan's signal, he pulled out the stopper of the gourd and poured it into his palm.

Clear water poured down, and the moment his palms touched the water, he felt cool and moist. This was real water! And as he poured, the water in the gourd seemed to be endless, with no sign of drying up.

"That's enough. If you pour it down any further, the car will be submerged." Yun Manshan said and took the pocket gourd.

"Team leader, this... Could it be that our country has secretly mastered space technology? Is this the latest black technology developed?" Compared to the mysterious myths and legends, Zhang Xiaohu obviously prefers to believe that this is the achievement of scientific and technological achievements.

"Black technology? Tsk! It is undeniable that Daxuan is now at the top of the world. Whether in terms of economy or technology, it is stronger than other major countries in the world. Even the foreign countries across the sea have been developing rapidly in recent years, but they still can't catch up."

Speaking of this, Yun Manshan also showed a hint of pride on her face, the pride of being in a great country. But then her tone became inexplicable, looking at the pocket pendant in her hand.

"Since the last century, Daxuan Technology has experienced rapid development, and all the technological creations in the past few decades are the result of this. However, after decades of exploration and development, Daxuan's current scientific research level has reached a bottleneck. If we want to make a breakthrough, we must thoroughly understand all those things."

Zhang Xiaohu listened quietly, and he understood what Yun Manshan meant by this. But if the pocket gourd was not a technological creation, how could it explain what happened just now? Could it really have some mysterious ability?
"I am the first owner of this gourd. I don't know how many years it has been lying in various research institutes before this. However, almost all the scientific research elites of Daxuan have gathered to study it, but apart from knowing that its internal space is vast, they have not found anything, let alone analyzing and replicating its functions."

"Could this thing really be the magic weapon in myths and legends?" Zhang Xiaohu asked.

"Why not? Since the launch of the first satellite, countless strange events have been detected. Where did those people who mysteriously disappeared and reappeared go? Where did these magical items come from? These are the secrets that Daxuan and even the world are exploring. Once this secret is unlocked, perhaps Earth will enter a new era, an era where everyone is extraordinary."

Yun Manshan narrowed her eyes slightly, not caring whether Zhang Xiaohu understood or not. As someone in the bureau, even if he didn't understand now, he would understand it later.

"In fact, we now have a lot of extraordinary items and even advanced technological items. It's just like this gourd in my hand. Even though I hold it, I don't know how to use it. It's really useless except for holding some water. It's useless."

"There are doors to the extraordinary, but their existence is completely parallel to science. We opened the door to science, but we don't have the key to open the door to the extraordinary. So whenever any bizarre incident occurs, the Abnormal Affairs Bureau must charge forward, just to find this key, and this trip to Qingyuan City is no exception." Qingyuan City, a month has passed since the Great Purge. Various forces have infiltrated from all over Daxuan and even overseas. They are like wolves smelling blood, watching silently and lurking silently. They only wait for the enemy to show their feet, and then they will rush up and share the big pieces.

However, this group of lurking people or forces did not know that there was a pair of eyes in the dark watching the city and their every move at all times.

Regardless of the purpose of these forces coming to Qingyuan City, at least their appearance has made Qingyuan City lively, and the GDP of the entire city has also increased significantly.

Spark Bar was once the most popular bar in Qingyuan City. In addition to the drinks and disco provided by regular bars, veteran repeat customers can also enjoy some indescribable services and even some spiritual pleasure.

That is why the Spark Bar is always crowded with people of all kinds. From ordinary office workers to wealthy bosses, they always like to come here to discuss business, eat, drink and have fun.

However, the bar seemed to have undergone a reform a month ago. Not only did it change its business model to only provide normal drinks and disco entertainment, but even the bar owner was replaced.

This has led to some repeat customers being violently expelled whenever they want to enjoy special services. Not only that, these repeat customers have also found that some big bosses who often come to the bar have no longer appeared.

Such a reform naturally caused dissatisfaction among a large number of repeat customers, resulting in a large decline in turnover. However, the bar owner behind the scenes did not care at all and continued to do his own thing, as if he had repented and turned over a new leaf.

At this moment in the bar, the ball on the top of the stage was spinning and emitting colorful lights. Men and women in the dance floor were swaying their bodies to the music, venting their negative emotions from the day.

"Team leader, can we find any clues here?" Zhang Xiaohu sat at the bar with a glass of beer in front of him. He looked at the bar that had been greatly changed and exclaimed in amazement.

If Zhang Xiaohu had not stayed in Qingyuan City for many years, and if he had not known the inside story of the Spark Bar, he would have thought that this was just a Qingyuan bar.

"The wool comes from the sheep. You can see the changes in the bar. It is obvious that this place has also been cleansed by the mysterious force. Maybe asking the owner here will be of some help to us?"

Yun Manshan had a lazy look on her face. The hazy and brilliant light in the bar shone on her face, making her look full of unique charm.

Zhang Xiaohu turned his head away and said, "But how can we get the bar owner to cooperate?"

If it was three years ago, Zhang Xiaohu could just show his ID and ask the other party to cooperate with the investigation. But now, he did have the ID from the Abnormal Affairs Bureau, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was more like a child's toy. The moment he took it out, he would probably be asked to leave by the other party.

"Don't worry, the Special Affairs Bureau will handle special matters specially, it won't be so rigid." Yun Manshan said, taking out the certificate from her windbreaker pocket and handing it to Zhang Xiaohu.

Looking at the familiar certificate in his hand, Zhang Xiaohu was surprised. This was obviously the police certificate he had three years ago. He didn't expect that he could still hold it now. Looking at Yun Manshan's calm appearance, Zhang Xiaohu once again realized the special nature of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau.
