Chapter 949: Shadows Hidden in the Light
In Hongsheng District, an airship without its logo was flying across the sky at a relatively fast speed.
Because the original company chose the sites of the Dashun branch and the biological park in Hongsheng District, there are a large number of airships, engineering vehicles and transport vehicles traveling here every day. Local people used to stare at the sky for a long time at first, but now when they hear the sound of propellers, they just blink a few times.
Only children enjoy this. When they see an airship flying low, they will cheer and run after it with the airship model in their hands.
In the main cabin of the airship, Korva sat with his back against the metal frame of the tilted cabin, his head resting on his arms. He said lazily, "Skarsson, is it necessary to go so fast?
All the previous anomalies have been proven to be minor matters. Can't we just report them directly to the Jibei Provincial Government Office? Why do we have to make another trip ourselves? "
Skarsson sat behind the round table, his body tense all the time. He said, "We are members of the investigation team. We are here to find out the problem. Before the results of the investigation come out, we should not trust the Jibei Provincial Government Office 100%. We need to personally investigate every abnormal point. As members of the investigation team, we must live up to our responsibilities."
Korva raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, I understand all of this, but have you ever thought that these so-called reports are just illusions thrown out by some people to make us run around and create a tense atmosphere, so as to satisfy their despicable thoughts in secret?"
He crossed his arms over his chest and said, "If that's the case, I'm not willing to cooperate."
Skarsson looked at him and said, "I thought you didn't care about these things."
Korva shrugged and said, "I just don't want to pay attention to things outside of the investigation, it doesn't mean I really don't understand." He moved his eyebrows as if they were dancing, "Partner, I don't want to be someone else's tool. That would make others look at us like monkeys in a circus."
"I don't care what others think of us," Skarsson said. "I just know that our persistence is meaningful."
"You are quite an oddball, Skarsson."
Korva said with a sigh, he turned his head and looked down, "Hmm? Are we almost there?"
Skarsson took a look and said, "It needs to go a little further."
"Then we are leaving the city. Do we need to report it? That's really troublesome."
"To be precise, it is on the edge of the city, but out of respect for the Jibei Dao Government Affairs Office, we should report it for the sake of caution."
"Okay, I'll do it. Don't make it look like I didn't do anything in the end."
Korva grumbled, then clicked on the netherworld pass, and then said to the other side, and when a prompt sounded, he said, "Okay."
He saw the speed of the airship gradually slowing down and looked down. "Are we there yet? Let's get off."
Skarsson stood up and picked up the box at hand. Korva followed with his own box. The two of them quickly reached the platform and jumped down from it.
After it landed on the ground, a cloud of dust rose up around it. It could be seen that this was a completely abandoned area on the edge of the city, with a high-rise building and several low-rise renovated houses standing there. The road was bumpy, the guardrails were rusty, and the billboards were mixed with accumulated water and fell into the mud pit. There were messy grass and disorderly growing trees everywhere.
Previously, there was a small gang entrenched here, but because Hongsheng District received a large amount of investment in the previous stage, and recently due to the arrival of the investigation team, it has been vigorously rectified, and patrols outside the city will come here from time to time, the gangs and personnel here have been cleared out.
Korva clicked on the lower world pass, and heard only a noise and rustling sound, which was intermittent. Another hundred meters or so from here was the real outside of the city. It was not close to the national highway, and the field had become very weak.
Various animals can occasionally be seen on the floors, and large groups of flying insects can be seen everywhere. However, with their arrival, they seemed to instinctively sense the danger and flew out in large groups, forming a dark cloud.
Korva hissed at the insect swarm, looked around and said, "There's not even a ghost in this place, and it doesn't look like there's anything like that. It looks like we've come here for nothing again."
"Don't jump to conclusions," said Skarsson. He withdrew his gaze from his surroundings and walked towards the semi-abandoned building in front.
"Wait for me." Korva quickly followed.
This building was supposed to be a shopping mall. After entering, the two immediately felt that something was not right. They looked at each other, silently quickened their pace, and soon came to the back area that was originally used as a warehouse. The light here was very dim and they could not see anything.
However, when the two arrived here, their eyebrows twitched slightly, and then in their eyes, the whole world immediately changed.
I saw a flickering light appearing in the center of the front, and the surrounding environment appeared a strange dark purple.
"It's an anomaly! How could this appear here?"
Korva exclaimed, the abnormal point is the precursor of the rift that is about to erupt, but in the central city, all the rifts will be absorbed by the mother shrimp, and generally no single rift will appear.
unless……
He showed a vigilant look and looked around.
Skarsson looked at the flickering light and said solemnly, "It's very unstable. It looks like it's on the verge of an explosion. We have to deal with it as soon as possible. According to the procedure, we should report it to the Government Affairs Office first." He put his hand on the boundary, but only heard a rustling sound. This place was a bit far from the center field, and the signal was too weak. Korva immediately said, "I'll notify you, you handle it, don't wait." As he said that, he turned around and walked a few steps outside.
Only then did Skarsson put down his hand, walked up, opened the box, and took out a pair of infection-isolating gloves. Then he took a breath, showed a very serious look, and put his hand on it.
This kind of rift can be stabilized and suppressed through the fighter's field, but it requires a high degree of concentration and cannot allow any mistakes. Fortunately, they are all professionally trained.
The moment his hand slowly approached the light, he noticed something strange, "No, this is..."
Before he could figure out what was going on, he suddenly felt a strong wind pressure and a strange sound from behind him. His well-trained body reacted spontaneously. He did not turn his head, but leaped forward, and spiritual fire emerged from his body.
This response was accurate, but for some reason, he suddenly felt his body become heavy, and the movement that should have leaped up instantly was slowed down by a beat. Even the spiritual fire that gushed out of his body only slightly emerged, and that thin layer of light was instantly defeated by a fist wrapped in blue light. The force carried in it rushed into his body without hindrance and destroyed everything unscrupulously.
Skarsson's body shook violently, and he flew more than ten meters into the air, crashing into the opposite wall. Cracks appeared on the load-bearing wall, and broken bricks fell off.
He slid down from above and fell into a pile of rubble and dust. In the previous attack, due to the lack of protection from the spiritual fire, his internal organs were severely damaged and his spine was directly broken.
He knew what it was.
"Cold Claws..."
That was a level three relic that the investigation team specially gave them before they set off for the central city of Jibei Road. This thing can contain super-limit-level fusion creatures, suppress the opponent's existence, and can also be used against fighters.
If someone targeted him at that moment, he would be almost defenseless.
At this time, he heard footsteps coming from the opposite side. He barely raised his head and saw Korva's figure slowly approaching. His face was faintly visible in the light. He asked, "Why?"
Korva succeeded in his attack, but did not continue to attack, as if he was not afraid of Skarsson's recovery. He clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry, we are partners after all. I won't take your life. I can't explain myself if I do. How about it, do you feel relieved?"
He walked over to his box, fumbled around inside for a few times, and took out a cardboard jar from a secret compartment.
He walked to the edge of the light, tore open the sealed edge of the cardboard can, and poured the liquid down. Some black powder like something burnt flowed out.
In an instant, as if adding fuel to a fire, the ball of light became active and it seemed that something was about to come out of it.
"You...you are summoning them?" Skarsson showed a look of shock, anger and disbelief.
Korva glanced at him and said, "Don't get excited. Why would I do such a stupid thing? You know I can't do it. This is just an illusion. However, when things here are dealt with, those remaining traces will appear to people outside as the place where the rift was opened and the existence of the opposite side leaked out from here."
Skarsson calmed down at this moment and said in a deep voice: "You want to target the Jibei Dao Government Affairs Office?"
"correct."
Korva flattened the paper can, and as the flames flickered there, it quickly turned into a pile of ash. He spread his hands,
"There will be a public meeting in Jibei Province at the end of the month. Observers and representatives from all over the world will be present. If there is a security incident at this time, especially if it is proven that a possible large object has crossed over, and it appears inside the central city, what do you think will happen to the various countries and what will Dashun think?"
At that time, the security and defense of Jibei Province became a joke, and all previous security conclusions had to be overturned.
Yes, we have affirmed them before and acknowledged that they have done a good job, but now we can deny them. Isn't this very dramatic? "
As he spoke, he turned around on the spot, shook his shoulders left and right, and made an extremely unrestrained dance posture.
"Ah, and Director Chen. As the person in charge of security and defense, he must be held responsible for this matter. Oh, and you, my partner, are also involved..."
He opened his hands, swayed his body and took a few steps forward, saying, "Look, because of your sparring with him, he took away your most commonly used boxing gloves, and your injuries have not recovered in the past few days. If it weren't for this, how could you not be able to suppress the existence that suddenly appeared here, resulting in him easily invading your body?
But fortunately, you used your strong will to control yourself and that thing, and let me attack. I had no choice but to hurt you, but I couldn't bear to do it, so I only beat you seriously, which also caused that existence to escape."
At this point, he snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "How about it, is it a perfect script?"
