Chapter 942: The Roaring Wind
When the airship was descending, the members of the investigation team did not make any move to get off the boat. They still sat around the long table in the main cabin with serious expressions.
The head of the investigation team, Thorlakson, was born on Huanso Island. He is sixty-nine years old this year. His light silver hair is shaped like a mountain above his forehead, and his chin is full of stubble. Despite his old age, he is energetic. His blue eyes are serious and deep. At first glance, he looks like a very stern and difficult person to get along with.
Just now, they received the latest news from Jibei Road. Last month, the central city of Jibei Road discovered and eliminated another existence from the opposite side.
Even if there are no gaps in the World Ring, there are often leaks coming in from the other side. After all, as the two worlds get closer, more cracks are constantly emerging. This is nothing, but at this moment, such a thing happened again, which had to attract their attention.
Thorlaxon said seriously, "As far as I can remember, this is already the third crossing incident since the breach appeared in Jibei Road."
An investigator who clearly looked like someone from the Eastern Continent replied, "They must have escaped through the breach after the World Ring's problems last time. It seems they still have the ability to handle it."
Thorlakson remained noncommittal.
Another investigator pointed his index finger downwards and said sternly, "I don't think so. The gap has been plugged, but are these the only poisonous insects that came in?
Jibei Dao had handled the situation well before, but could there be any guarantee that there would be no problems in the future? They had just overthrown the municipal council, and the current political situation was very unstable. International public opinion was blaming them, and even within Dashun, there were many voices of opposition.
Can the Government Affairs Office continue to operate normally? The situation is extremely dangerous! We must not take it lightly. We must shoulder our responsibilities! We must not allow this place to become a breakthrough point for the enemy to capture us!
When he finished speaking, he became very emotional and kept banging his fists on the table, making a banging sound.
The investigator in front clarified, "We need to investigate the situation in Jibei Province to know the truth. It's too early to tell now. That's exactly what we're going to do."
He then brought over a stack of paper materials. "This is the latest information provided to us by Dashun. I've had it printed. Please take a look."
The investigators gathered the materials, which contained information about the events of the past period and the current state of Central City. What surprised the team members was that they had feared seeing chaos and conflict. It wasn't surprising, as they had seen plenty over the years.
However, according to the data, this situation did not occur. Instead, it showed a thriving scene.
If this is true, they would have a different opinion of the Jibei Provincial Government Office.
An elderly man wearing gold-rimmed glasses reviewed the document, put it down, and said, "Written records are static and can be changed. Even if they are true, are they only temporary? Or are they just for show? We need a thorough and detailed observation."
On another airship, two muscular fighters wearing Survey Corps uniforms sat at opposite ends of the table.
One of them is the world-renowned fighter Eldrick Skarsson. He is 46 years old, with ice-blue eyes, dark brown hair, and calluses all over his thick knuckles. His temperament reveals a calmness and restraint. When he sits there, he is like an unshakable mountain.
Sitting opposite him was a young man with slightly long, curly hair and a casual and natural expression. This was Ignatius Korva, also a world-renowned fighter. He had strong muscles and exuded confidence and vitality.
They did not participate in the specific discussions of the investigation team because they were responsible for and concerned about the current military situation in Jibei Province.
In their view, the form of government is not important. It is just a tool to provide basic order and logistical support. The real foundation for maintaining the stability of the central city is force.
However, fighters' information is usually highly confidential. After all, it concerns the interests of various countries and even the fighters themselves. Even if they are members of the investigation team, they will not be allowed to obtain this in advance.
So it wasn't until this morning that they received detailed information from the Fighter Council.
"There are currently two fighters stationed in the central city of Jibei Road." Skarsson spoke in a very low and deep voice.
"One is Yao Zhiyi, the principal of Wuyi Academy. He's a veteran martial artist who has guarded Jibei Road for over twenty years. His strength is average, but because he graduated from the academy, he has extensive connections and is able to faithfully perform his duties without making any mistakes.
another……"
He shifted his gaze to the table, "Director of the Jibei Road Security Affairs Office, Chen Chuan."
There, Yao Zhiyi's photos and information only occupied one corner, while the rest of the place was filled with various information and photos about Chen Chuan.
It recorded his killing of Wei Guochan, the general of the old imperial family, his easy victory over Long Xiang, a member of the Jingxiu sect, in a sparring match, his consecutive defeats of two Dao Zongs overseas, his special operations in the Bessar Khanate, and his battle with Bai Gu in the central city of Shannan Road.
In addition to these, there are also photos of him destroying the monster airship when he first appeared in Central City after returning from the Fusion Zone, and portraits of him annihilating active consciousnesses in the White Bird District. No matter which picture, it is full of tension and destructive power.
Skarsson said seriously, "He only became a martial artist in the second half of last year. He's already shown an extremely aggressive style since breaking through his limits. He seems to be someone who prioritizes force over power. So far, he's probably fought no fewer than ten martial artists, and at least half of them have been defeated by him."
In his opinion, this was a very amazing achievement.
But it is also a very disturbing record.
You should know that there are usually only one or two fighters stationed in the central city. The number may increase or decrease depending on the specific situation and geographical location, but generally it will not exceed two.
Some fighters may not meet so many fighters in ten years, let alone one year. What about Chen Chuan?
This is only the information that is publicly available on the surface. It is still unknown whether there are more undisclosed records in private. You must know that in order to save energy, fighters usually avoid moving if possible. If Chen Chuan's situation were to be spread, I am afraid everyone would agree that he is a fighting maniac.
Korva watched with interest, "It's quite remarkable, isn't it?"
Skarsson looked very serious.
"In a short period of time, several fighters have died here. This is definitely a major security issue. The deaths of these fighters have weakened the security defense capabilities of the world."
Korva shrugged. "From the data, it seems that most of those people were the ones who destroyed security themselves. Director Chen was mostly acting in self-defense. He was appointed by the Dashun government, and it's clear that he's been working in an orderly manner since taking office, with no mistakes."
"It's his position that I'm worried about," said Skarsson with a serious expression. "He targeted the Langtao Pavilion and Anyao Pavilion offshore, clearly aiding the Dashun government in its fight for maritime interests with the Linax Federation. It was there that he and another fighter, a fighter affiliated with a state-owned enterprise, killed another fighter. This kind of infighting and killing was completely avoidable."
Korva said nonchalantly, "He's from Dashun. Shouldn't he work for Dashun? Skarsson, he's not like us. They have to serve the interests of their country first."
At least when he was there, Jibei Road's security was flawless, and his military was strong, so we should be happy about that, right? "
Skarsson shook his head, clearly disagreeing with this view. He said in a deep voice, "What I'm worried about is his strength. Once he gets used to this style of doing things, more fighters will die at his hands in the future. This is a worrying trend.
Korva, you only see what’s happening right now, but the meaningless deaths of many more fighters weaken the entire defense.”
Korva shrugged again and didn't argue. He felt that all he needed to worry about was the security and defense issues at hand. They couldn't care less about anything else.
As long as Director Chen has the ability to take responsibility, then whatever he does is right. Why bother with so many things?
But his partner has a strong sense of moral responsibility and has always taken the security of the world as his own responsibility. He believes that countries around the world cannot waste their combat effectiveness in meaningless internal struggles, so he feels that he should eliminate all disputes as much as possible and let the entire investigation organization play its due role.
But this is not the era of the Grand Alliance, he thought to himself. How could it be possible to ask countries to put aside their disputes?
Is the investigation team truly immune to political influence from any country? That's not necessarily the case.
but……
Whatever.
He put his hands behind his head and leaned back, letting his partner do whatever he wanted. You have the final say because you are stronger.
At this moment, under the mooring tower, Qi Weizhao and a group of officials from the Government Affairs Office were waiting below. However, after the airship stopped, the members of the investigation team inside did not show up, which caused dissatisfaction among some officials.
Qi Weizhao did not show any abnormality. He knew very well that what they should do now was not to confront but to cooperate. Confrontation would be disadvantageous to them.
Because the right of international investigation is granted by all countries, and it has the great cause of maintaining the world ring. Under this recognized value, not only Dashun, but even if there are problems in the Linax Federation and the Nordland Northern Alliance, the investigation team will also go to investigate.
Once the procedure is initiated, it will need to be subject to international supervision. In fact, there are also observers sent by various countries, as well as news media personnel from some other countries accompanying them. However, they do not have the right to fly in the airspace, so they need to be reviewed by Dashun before they can enter the country.
They already had many plans on how to deal with this investigation.
Just then, he saw the hatch on the airship finally slowly open and a team of guards walked out.
He said to his secretary, Qiao Yang, "Notify Director Chen that the investigation team has arrived. If he has time, please come and meet them. We'll have to deal with them quite a bit in the coming period."
Qiao Yang said, "Yes, I will notify Director Chen immediately."
