Chapter 593 Falling Embers
On a building far away in Yinglu District, Director Lei looked at the ritual pattern under his feet that was completely extinguished and turned into ashes, and then looked into the distance. Wisps of white smoke were rising from the sky above the twelve high-rise buildings with ritual arrangements.
One of the subordinates said admiringly, "Fortunately, Director Lei asked us to reinforce the ceremony beforehand, and also arranged so many auxiliary ceremonies outside to cooperate, otherwise we might not be able to hold on."
"Yes, yes." Some members of the Esoteric Buddhism Bureau nearby also nodded.
Because they were only trying to capture active consciousnesses, theoretically they didn't need so much material. They had to do this only because Director Lei insisted. However, many people still disagreed and even wanted to laugh at him afterwards.
Director Lei had just taken office and had not yet won the support of his subordinates. Frankly speaking, this move was a bit risky. If it turned out to be ineffective, his prestige would definitely be greatly damaged.
But he proved with facts that his approach was correct and that he was far ahead of everyone else, and now everyone is convinced.
Director Lei said, "Without Director Qian's strong support, I wouldn't be able to do this. And..." He looked towards the collapsed Ferris wheel, "Without that person, this matter wouldn't have been so easy to get through."
Everyone nodded.
They also saw the last blow, which split the huge Ferris wheel in half. This is a landmark that is more than 200 meters high. It is hard to imagine that it was done by human power. No wonder Director Lei was so confident this time. From the tone of his voice, Director Lei knew him. It seems that this person has strong supporters in other places, and it is far from that simple.
Director Lei then said, "Clean up here and let's go. What happens next has nothing to do with us. After so many busy days, everyone can finally get a good night's sleep."
The subordinate hesitated and asked quietly, "Director Lei, where is the Ferris Wheel Company?"
They also made a contribution this time. The subsequent handling of the Ferris Wheel Company also involves departmental interests, and they can't just give it up like that.
Director Lei waved his hand and said, "This requires Director Qian to step in. I'm not suitable."
Everyone suddenly realized: "Yes!"
Director Qian is the director general and is best at asking for funds. It is appropriate to entrust this matter to Director Qian.
However, they also heard that Director Lei came this time to replace Director Qian's position. I think after this incident, the handover will be formally completed, right?
Outside a warehouse in Jiyang District, an armored vehicle pulled up. After the door opened, Commissioner Cao stepped out. The guard standing in front of the door opened it for him and said, "Commissioner Cao, please come in. Mr. Chu is there."
Commissioner Cao walked in with two of his subordinates. Mr. Chu was standing in the middle of the huge warehouse. When the others came over, he said seriously, "Commissioner Cao, you're late."
Commissioner Cao looked at the people standing behind him and said, "New faces. What's up? Old Chu, have you changed people?"
Mr. Chu ignored him and just said, "Did you bring the schedule?"
Commissioner Cao stretched out his hand, and the subordinate behind him took something out of the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to him. He took it and handed it forward.
Mr. Chu took it and looked at it for a moment. Then his expression suddenly tensed up. He looked up and said, "This is a joint plan among multiple departments. Why didn't you report it in a timely manner?"
Commissioner Cao said slowly, "The information is interrupted. I don't know where you are, Old Chu. I did look for you, but your people were gone by then. I can't let this plan be shelved like this, so I have no choice but to execute it first."
Mr. Chu looked at him. At that time, he was planning to deal with Chen Bitong to prevent the General Affairs Bureau from intervening, so he cut off communication. However, he knew that if Commissioner Cao really wanted to find him, there was no way he couldn't find him.
He said in a deep voice, "Your plan is too dangerous. If it fails, the City Council will surely retaliate, and the situation in Central City will become unpredictable. The committee deems it unfeasible, and you must stop immediately!"
Commissioner Cao said, "The committee can stop the General Affairs Bureau, but it can't stop other departments. Besides..." He looked at Mr. Chu, "I'm afraid it's too late now."
When Mr. Chu was about to say something, a huge light suddenly came from outside. Even though they were hiding in this converted warehouse, they could still feel it from the open skylight.
At the same time, a prompt sound appeared on the two people's boundaries at the same time. Both of them immediately reached out to hold the boundaries and listened to the report coming from inside.
After listening to him, Commissioner Cao glanced at him and said, "Project Horizon has been completed." After a pause, he said, "Old Chu, please take your time reviewing it. I still have things to do, so I won't stay any longer."
After hearing the news, Mr. Chu's expression darkened. The plan was already complete, so why bother with the review? He watched Commissioner Cao walk out. After a moment, he picked up the form again, his eyes finally landing on the column for recommended executors.
"Executive Captain of the Processing Bureau, Chen Chuan."
Inside the command center, Commissioner Liang was listening to reports from various districts. Just now, most of his attention was focused on the Ferris Wheel Company, and he hadn't been able to pay full attention to other places.
But it was still okay, because most of the mercenaries and companies' strength had been consumed, so it was not as difficult to deal with as before.
Not to mention that now that the threat of the Ferris wheel is gone, the emergency forces that have been stationed in the Yinglu District can be dispersed and go to other places to deal with problems, and the power in their hands has become more abundant.
After reading and replying to the reports from various areas, he pressed the ends of his nose, took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it, cheering himself up again.
At this moment, a liaison officer ran up and reported to him:
"Commissioner, the Mosasaur Company has sent a report. About ten minutes ago, they sank a submarine in the coastal area. It seems to have come from the Ferris Wheel Building. They sent the modified creatures in to investigate. In addition to the armed personnel, they also found some people who are suspected to be from the Ferris Wheel Company. However, they are presumably dead before the submarine was sunk."
Commissioner Liang immediately took the report and took a look at it. He thought about it and realized that according to the analysis of the sentry tower, the existence was most likely attached to the body of a director of a Ferris wheel company. In this case, these people were most likely killed by this existence.
He turned to the female assistant beside him and said, "Send someone to take over immediately and keep the evidence safe." The female assistant immediately said, "I'll go right away."
Commissioner Liang looked a little more relaxed than before, and patted the report again. If he had these things in hand, then there would be another reason to destroy the Ferris wheel, that is, the Ferris wheel was colluding with the existence of the outside world.
If it was just the Ferris wheel, the parliament might have compromised and appeased them, but now that they have this handle in hand, no one can argue anymore.
Because in today's situation, it is absolutely correct to confront and eliminate the opponent's existence. Even if you really collude, you cannot make it public.
In front of the Ferris wheel building, Chen Chuan walked out of the big pit step by step with a knife in his hand. At this time, some tiny scattered arcs of light were still jumping on his body, which were caused by passing through the cracks.
This time, while traveling through the rift, he seemed to have grasped a clue while using the power of the Flying Dragon Fist...
The sound of propeller blades came from above his head. He looked up and saw several airships flying over his head and heading towards the sea. At this time, the red shadow on his body slowly drifted away.
He turned and looked in the direction where the red shadow was drifting away, and nodded in that direction.
When he finally fell, he originally planned to use his second self to withstand the damage of the falling impact, but Hongfu's power blocked it for him.
At this moment, he looked up and saw armed men carrying weapons walking out of the breach in the building. There were about ten of them, and the one leading them was Guan Shangjing, the security director of the Ferris Wheel Company.
Under the impact of Wu Qi's spiritual power just now, even though these people were hiding in a covered room, they were still inevitably affected. Those who were not strong enough died on the spot. Only these few people with decent strength were still alive. When they saw Chen Chuan, they became nervous and raised their weapons.
Chen Chuan stared at several people. He could clearly feel from the scene that there was some kind of infection in these people's bodies, and they would not live long.
This should be caused by the emergence of that existence.
Because the sky gate is open, there is no cover above. Even a third-level fighter, without a certain level of spiritual strength, will not be able to resist the invasion and penetration at close range.
Guan Shangjing looked at the collapsed Ferris wheel and the wreckage exposed in the sea in the distance. His heart sank. When he was about to walk over there, his throat suddenly felt itchy and he couldn't help but cough rapidly.
He wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, but found that he had coughed up a lot of black blood, and there seemed to be countless tiny black bugs in it that were difficult to distinguish.
Among those around him, one man's raised weapon suddenly fell to the ground, the broken hand black as if there was no flesh or blood there. Some fell straight to the ground, their bodies inexplicably broken into several pieces, while others were even more exaggerated, as if they were just trying to outflank Chen Chuan, and if they walked a little faster, their heads fell directly from their bodies.
Many more people froze there after walking a few steps, looking like sculptures in various postures.
Guan Shangjing's breathing became rapid, he felt his chest becoming more and more stuffy, and his limbs became gradually weaker.
If he could observe himself at this moment, he would be able to find that black blood was flowing out of his eye sockets and there were black bugs flying in and out.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of dense military boots approaching in the square in the distance. Knowing that a large army was coming, he looked up at Chen Chuan again, and with a clang, he drew out his sword.
But he did not rush forward. Instead, he knelt down facing the sea, pointed the knife at his neck, and then slashed it hard. As a stream of black blood spurted out, his head slowly drooped down.
Chen Chuan glanced at him, then looked at the ruined Ferris Wheel Company building. After the Ferris Wheel collapsed, only this building was left standing there alone. Now it was covered with fluttering gray snowflakes, like a broken monument. As the sea breeze blew, the gray dust drifted towards the surging tide in the distance.
