For a moment of thrill, Luo Chen binds to a villain system. After finally finishing his role, he is told that he failed. To get the wish granted by the system and return home, Luo Chen starts over ...
Luo Chen nodded and waited where he was.
Wolf Fang didn't say much, and went to check what the reason was.
Luo Chen was left standing there, not bored.
Instead, they observed their surroundings.
At this moment, he was only about ten meters away from the zebra crossing. Behind him was a long line of cars, and many people, like him, were standing on the road, tiptoeing, or going forward to check the reason.
Luo Chen ignored them and looked towards the traffic lights.
"Hmm, that's normal. It doesn't seem like a sudden short circuit."
There were no traffic accidents ahead.
Luo Chen stroked his chin, feeling that something was amiss.
Before long, Wolf Fang returned.
"So, do you know why now?"
"No."
Wolf Fang shook his head slightly: "I've asked quite a few people, but most of them don't know what happened. Besides, some people have already made phone calls in advance. Based on the time, someone should be coming to maintain order now."
However, strangely enough, no one came to maintain it.
It was as if they knew nothing about this.
"Um?"
Luo Chen frowned slightly, just as he was about to say something.
A department store near the intersection was suddenly and violently exploded.
The sudden explosion startled everyone, and they all froze in place.
But as glass shattered in the explosion, they were suddenly jolted awake and hurriedly fled.
"Holy crap, what on earth is going on? Being trapped here is bad enough, but then it exploded."
"The explosion occurred on the seventh floor. I heard that a lot of people gathered there today. With this sudden incident, the people inside are probably in danger."
"Could there be a safety hazard in the department store? Otherwise, why would it suddenly explode?"
"..."
Standing at a distance, Luo Chen shielded himself from the oncoming hot wind with his arm, squinting slightly.
Wolf Fang, on the other hand, remained calm, seemingly unconcerned since he was wearing a mask.
"Young Master Luo, they've arrived?"
Who's here?
Wolf Fang suddenly said something, and Luo Chen looked over.
People were already there putting out the fire.
Seeing this, Luo Chen frowned again.
When the area was blocked earlier, no one came to maintain order, but as soon as the explosion happened, people came to put out the fire.
The scent of conspiracy immediately emerged.
"Young Master Luo, should we leave here?"
Wolf Fang seemed to sense it too, but thought it was none of their business. They didn't care who it was targeting or why it happened.
Wolf Fang's main task right now is to protect Luo Chen's safety.
Although, Luo Chen doesn't really need protection.
But this is a duty, and Wolf Fang will not forget it.
"Wait a minute."
Luo Chen waved his hand.
Wolf Fang looked at Luo Chen, puzzled, and wanted to ask, but he held back.
They were standing some distance from the department store, so their observation was safe.
Even if another explosion occurs, it will not endanger them.
Perhaps that's why Luo Chen didn't want to leave in a hurry, but chose to watch the show instead.
But Luo Chen didn't think that way.
This scene looks familiar.
It seems like I've seen it somewhere before.
But upon closer reflection, something felt off.
He had never encountered an explosion before.
The reason it feels familiar is probably related to the storyline.
Thinking of this, Luo Chen pondered and recalled.
Wolf Fang, standing to the side, was puzzled, not understanding why Luo Chen's expression sometimes furrowed and sometimes looked confused.
The explosion in front of them had nothing to do with them at all, so there was no need to care so much.
But the meticulous Wolf Fang still took out his phone, edited a text message, and arranged for someone to investigate what was going on.
boom--!
It didn't take long.
Another explosion occurred at the department store.
The explosion caused many people inside to be rushed out, but they were too scared to escape and remained inside in fear.
The explosion did not occur on the seventh floor, but on the first floor.
For some unknown reason, the back door was locked. Firefighters had already pried it open with tools, but because the front door was wide, the escape route was still in front.
But no one expected that there would be another explosion at the gate.
The broken beams blocked the gate, making it impossible for the remaining people to escape.
Suddenly, the difficulty of the rescue increased significantly.
[...]
It was indeed a conspiracy.
Wolf Fang, seeing this, was certain in his heart.
If the first explosion can be considered a safety hazard...
It was an accident.
However, the second explosion cannot be interpreted in this way.
No matter how big the explosion was, it was impossible for it to coincidentally block the escape route.
This is clearly intended to keep everyone inside there.
Of course, that's not to say all.
Maybe it's just for someone.
Wolf Fang had already figured out the reason and, thinking it was better to avoid trouble, prepared to speak up again to get Luo Chen involved.
The words hadn't even been spoken yet.
Luo Chen started walking towards the department store.
"Young Master Luo, what's going on?"
"Save people."
Wolf Fang paused for a moment, then said, "Young Master Luo, this is none of our business. Why should we go to save him?"
"Besides, we don't need to do anything there."
A large number of people had already gathered around the department store, working together to rescue people.
Adding those two would be of great help, but it would also cause unnecessary turmoil.
After all, both he and Luo Chen were martial artists, and they wanted to rescue those trapped people as quickly as possible.
Naturally, they wouldn't use worldly methods.
However, once a martial artist's strength is exposed, the trouble it causes will be enormous.
The agreed-upon treaty will be broken as a result.
Even such a strong understanding can crumble.
Although martial artists can move freely in the secular world and use force.
However, this is only possible in situations where there is no trouble.
If this is noticed by others, or even causes a sensation, special personnel will appear to restore peace.
This has happened many times before, and each time that group of people appeared, it meant that the troublemakers had disappeared.
Whether they have truly disappeared or not, Wolf Fang doesn't care.
But in the matter at hand, Wolf Fang felt there was really no need to take action.
That's why Wolf Fang resisted so much.
Upon hearing this...
Luo Chen paused, letting out a soft sigh.
“Wolf Fang, you should realize that this is not a security threat, but a premeditated act.”
"If that's the reason, then it's naturally not that simple."
Wolf Fang remained silent and did not respond.
Luo Chen continued, "Since such a plan has been devised, it should be clear that once the goal is achieved, there will be no stopping."
"Now, as you've seen, the second explosion has occurred, which means that those people didn't have hands."
"If we don't step in to help now, do you think a third explosion won't happen?"
Having said that, Luo Chen didn't care whether Wolf Fang would listen or whether they would come to help.
Since we've run into this situation, we should help if we can.
At least, he was a pitiful person.
It's quite a pity that he died like that.
