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 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, 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.
Inside 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?
"The previous anomalies were proven to be minor matters. Couldn't we just report them directly to the Jibei Provincial Government Office? Why would we have to make another trip ourselves?"
Skarsson sat behind the round table, his body tense at all times. He said, "We are members of the investigation team, and we are here to find the problem. Before the results are in, we should not put 100% trust in the Jibei Provincial Government Office. We need to personally investigate every anomaly. 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 haven't you ever considered that these so-called reports might just be fabrications created by someone to keep us running around, create tension, and satisfy their own despicable agenda?"
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 anything outside of the investigation. It doesn't mean I don't understand." He raised his eyebrows, which seemed to dance. "Partner, I don't want to be someone else's tool. That would make others look at us like monkeys in a circus."
Skarsson said: "I don't care what others think of us. I just know that our persistence is meaningful."
"You're quite an anomaly, Skarsson."
Korva sighed and looked down. "Hmm? Are we almost there?"
Skarsson took a look and said, "It needs to go a little further."
"We're leaving the city, so we need to report it, right? That's really troublesome."
"To be precise, it's on the outskirts of the city. However, out of respect for the Jibei Dao Government Office, we'd better 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 muttered something, then clicked on the Netherworld Passport and said something to the other side. After a prompt sounded, he said, "Okay."
He saw the airship slowing down and glanced 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 lot of investment in the previous stage, and recently due to the arrival of the investigation team and the vigorous rectification, coupled with the occasional patrols outside the city, 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, and it was not close to the national highway, so 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. He looked around and said, "There's not even a ghost here. It doesn't look like there's anything like that. It looks like we've come all this way for nothing."
"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 something was wrong. 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, after 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 in surprise. The abnormal point was a precursor to the imminent eruption of the rift, but in the central city, all the rifts would be absorbed by the mother shrimp, and generally no single rift would 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 exploding. We have to deal with it as soon as possible. According to the procedure, we have to report 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 them, you handle it, don't wait." As he said that, he turned around and walked a few steps outside.
Skarsson put down his hand and walked up. He opened the box and took out a pair of infection-isolating gloves. Then he took a breath, showed an extremely serious look, and put his hand on them.
This kind of rift can be stabilized and suppressed through the fighter's field, but it requires a high degree of concentration and cannot make 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 jumped up instantly was slowed down. Even the spiritual fire that surged out of his body was only slightly visible. That layer of thin light was instantly defeated by a fist wrapped in blue light, and the force carried in it rushed into his body without hindrance, destroying everything unscrupulously.
Skarsson's body shook violently, and he flew more than ten meters into the air before 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 Claw..."
That was a level three relic specially given to them by the investigation team before they set off for the central city of Jibei Road. This thing can curb 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 moment, he heard footsteps coming from the opposite direction. He barely raised his head and saw Korva's figure slowly approaching, his face faintly visible in the light. He asked, "Why?"
Korva succeeded in his attack, but didn't continue, seemingly unfazed by Skarsson's recovery. He clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry, we're partners after all. I won't kill you; that would be unacceptable. So, do you feel a little relieved?"
He walked 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. What flowed out was some black powder that looked like something burnt.
In an instant, as if adding fuel to a fire, the ball of light became active and it seemed as if something was about to come out of it.
"You...you are summoning them?" Skarsson showed an expression 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 show to those outside that this is where the rift opened and the existence of the other side escaped through here."
Skarsson calmed down at this moment and said in a deep voice, "You want to target the Jibei Provincial Government Office?"
"yes."
Korva flattened the cardboard can, and as the flame 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 around the world will be present. If a security incident breaks out at this time, especially if it's proven that a potentially large object has crossed over, and appears within the urban area of the central city, what do you think the various countries will think, 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 did 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 haven't healed in the past few days. If that weren't the case, how could you be unable to suppress this being that suddenly appeared here, allowing it to easily invade 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 injure you, but I couldn't bear to do it, so I only severely injured you, which also caused that being to escape."
At this point, he snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "How about it, isn't it a perfect script?"
