Spiritual qi revival. Various factions are stirring into action.
Hai Fa has spent four years at Bureau 749 working diligently and dutifully while wearing the label of a "connected hire." At last, it's her turn for a promotion.
"Dragon Hunt."
Just as Hai Fa was ready to let loose and show what she could do, the "right-hand man" on her team got his head cut off. As the old saying goes, "Before the mission even begins, the commander dies." She hadn't even set out yet, so how had one of her team members already died?
The annihilation of the Hui Xian clan, the sands of Lop Nur devouring people... One incident after another drove her farther and farther from the "dragon."
Was it just a run of bad luck, fate playing a cruel joke, or was someone pulling the strings in secret?
I'm sure you've heard the legend of Bureau 749, so there's one word you're certainly familiar with: dragon.
Dragons are real, and they're not even rare. But here's what you need to know: "dragon" isn't a species, but a rank.
Just like our "immortals."
So here's your chance: do you want to ascend to immortality?
"The Dragon Seekers? You mean that group with the connected hire and the lunatics?"
"What dragons are they looking for? The girl has a bureau chief for a father and a rich second-generation heir chasing after her. He poured a fortune into the bureau just for her. All that dragon hunting is just paving the way for her promotion."
"Didn't they say there were four people in Team Seven?"
"Oh, that one? Nothing worth mentioning. They transferred over from the Civil Affairs Bureau, and apparently one of them can see ghosts."
"Ha, just someone who can see ghosts? I thought they were some kind of once-in-a-thousand-years talent."
"Even if they were, China could find 140,000 of them..."
"So, are there really dragons?"
"Who knows? Just do your own job."
