Chapter 933: The Cause of the Overturned Nest
Because that being was deliberately lured to the honeycomb building by Chen Chuan to fight, all the mental pressure released by him subsequently fell on this side.
Most of the Plague Gang members were affected, not only them, but also the combat creatures in the buildings and various densely distributed field creatures were affected.
These people's fighting power and physical fitness are not as good as those of the combatants and fighters outside. They are still lying there, and their consciousness is all groggy. This is because the gang members themselves also drew secret rituals on their bodies to resist the first wave of impact. Later, due to Chen Chuan's destruction, the impact was weakened a lot, so they did not die on the spot.
Of course, some gang members who were closer were not so lucky. They fell there silently. When the action team members rushed in, they saw the Plague Gang members who had lost their lives while defending their positions.
Many places that seemed difficult to pass were easily broken through by them, and in the Plague Gang's defense system, combat organisms and some biological pathogens were also very important parts, but they were all paralyzed by the impact just now. Only the toxins in the air here could cause some interference.
After the action team broke through, technical experts quickly followed in. Their main responsibility was to find out if there was anything left here that could cause serious consequences.
After they understood the functions of some of the organisms here, they couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. If it weren't for the influence of that existence just now, these things would be difficult to deal with, and it would be very difficult to take them down without any casualties.
When they reached the last floor, they encountered some sporadic resistance, but after the defense system was severely weakened, these people were no match for them and were quickly eliminated under the fierce offensive.
Several leaders of the Plague Gang were all captured. According to identification, several of them were wanted fugitives for serious crimes and had committed more than one large-scale vicious incident, including leakage accidents, water pollution, illegal human experiments, etc. However, some of them could not be identified for the time being, mainly because they had undergone implants to modify their appearance, and they needed to be taken back for identification.
The kidnapped Speaker Quan was also found. When he was found, he was lying there, unaware of what was happening outside. According to his youngest son, he had been in a coma since he was captured. They didn't understand what was happening outside and didn't dare to resist these people.
The captain of the operation team on the scene did not comment on this and immediately ordered someone to arrest the man and take him away.
Chen Chuan walked to the soft leather at this time, reached out and picked it up to take a look, and felt that his guess was correct. This should be some kind of lost item.
This existence should be at a similar level to the one he had seen on the Ferris wheel before, except that the existence on the Ferris wheel had deliberately weakened its own power in order to attach itself to Director Eagle Tail.
The reason why he later wanted to seize the active consciousness was to find a body that could carry and exert greater power of his own. However, before he could completely complete this step, he and Hongfu cut off the body together, resulting in the process of transforming from virtual to real failing to be completed.
The power displayed by the existence just now exceeded that of the Ferris wheel. If it had been like this from the beginning, it would definitely not have been able to cross the World Ring. Therefore, it must have received some corresponding supplement, and then relied on the membrane in front of it to lock its own power and prevent it from leaking out.
All of this proves that someone is cooperating with him internally. This is completely different from the situation where Director Yingwei was possessed. The latter did all those things by himself, but this should have been prepared in advance by someone. It was a carefully laid out plan.
Who is behind this?
Chen Chuan thought about it and felt that some people in the municipal council might know something, but they were probably not the main participants. Otherwise, there would be no reason for them not to use this power when he was about to fail. They were not that kind.
The Plague Gang was a direct participant, and behind them was the Green Source Ecological Company. It seemed like the real culprit had been found. However, he felt it was more complicated than that, as the target was too obvious. It wasn't necessarily that they were involved, but that the real mastermind behind the incident might be someone else.
At this moment, he vaguely thought of something.
He first put the things away and turned to walk towards the tunnel entrance. At this time, he saw Director Lei directing some recovered members of the Esoteric Cult Bureau to imprison the long-haired man and use Esoteric Cult rituals to seal the remaining power of the evil god.
He walked over and said, "Director Lei, thank you for this time."
Director Lei said, "It's our duty to eradicate esoteric rites. I can't accomplish this alone. I'm also grateful to Mr. Lan, whom Director Chen found. He has a deep understanding of esoteric rites, especially the Old State Religion. He has some knowledge that is not known to ordinary Old State Religions."
This kind of person should have received religious ritual training since childhood, but I haven't seen him in the esoteric system. If my guess is correct, there should be someone in his immediate family who once held a teaching position in the Old State Church."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director Lei. I know this person's background. He does have the legacy of the old state religion, but now he mainly serves state-owned enterprises. He can be trusted."
Director Lei said, "I am confident in the people Director Chen has brought here. However, I think that talents like this can be retained in Jibei Dao. This way, perhaps he can train a group of talents instead of relying entirely on the Esoteric Sect."
When Chen Chuan heard him mention this, he said, "Director Lei, you said before that there are some people in the bureau you don't trust?"
Director Lei asked the staff around him to leave first, and then said: "The mastery of esoteric rituals depends on talent and age and experience. There are not many talented people. Most of the time, it actually depends on age and experience.
Some people in the Central City Esoteric Cult even came from the old times and have been dealing with Esoteric rituals all their lives. They have rich experience and are very good at handling various rituals.
It's just that these people have a lot of old-fashioned ideas. Some of the students they bring up are called students, but in fact they are their apprentices. After these people stand up, they also take the initiative to defend their original ideas.
They rely on their seniority to get things done in the bureau. It was difficult to command them when Director Qian was here, but we can't do without them, or the entire Esoteric Buddhism Bureau won't be able to function. This is a deep-rooted problem, not just in our Jibei Dao Esoteric Buddhism Bureau, but elsewhere as well."
Chen Chuan listened and understood his intentions. Since these people were difficult to move, he had no choice but to start over and recruit a new group of people. He thought about it and said, "Director Lei, please find a report to submit to me. I will bring it to the decision-making meeting for discussion."
Tantric rituals are very important. Even its security protocols are implemented through rituals. Nowadays, many people in the upper class are obsessed with using Tantric methods and even join cults. If you want to deal with them, you must first understand these things yourself.
Some issues within the Esoteric Affairs Bureau are sufficient to be included in the security and defense agenda. As a member of the security decision-making group, he has the obligation and ability to take care of this matter.
Director Lei said, "Okay, I'll submit a detailed report when I get back."
Chen Chuan looked at the tunnel again and said, "Director Lei just told me that the ceremony there has two levels. The top level should have been prepared for more than two years, and the painter of this level should be the artist we were looking for. He should have been in Yangzhi before, so the bottom level should have nothing to do with him."
Director Lei also sighed at this moment. Things are unpredictable. He thought of the person he had missed before, but he didn't expect to catch him here.
He said, "I just looked at the traces of the pattern underneath, and my initial guess is that it's probably over ten years old."
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment, "More than ten years? Is that also used to summon evil spirits?"
Director Lei said, "They're very similar. Although the people who described the ritual are different, the purpose of the ritual is the same. It should have been using resentment and flesh and blood to feed a certain being before. However, this ritual has been used once before. I suspect that the evil god being worshipped was likely devoured by that being once before."
Chen Chuan couldn't help but nod. If that was the case, then it made sense. The source of the increased power of that being might lie here.
Director Lei continued, "The ritual has already been performed once, but some areas are still usable. Adding another layer on top would create a 'double-covered mountain grid', allowing us to sacrifice to another, more powerful evil deity. However, I believe the person who created the ritual, this 'painter,' may have other ideas. This suggests he understands the purpose of the ritual. I'll take him back for questioning; perhaps I can get some valuable information."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Director Lei with this matter."
On the other side, Lan Shen Gu finally recovered his strength. He no longer cared about what was happening on the other side of the tunnel, but hurried out and saw his cousin who was well protected.
"cousin!"
When Xiaoyi saw him, she ran up to him quickly, looked him up and down, and asked worriedly, "Cousin, are you okay?"
Lan Shengu said, "Fortunately, the Jibei Provincial Government Office is finally reliable. Someone came to the rescue at the critical moment, instead of causing a big scene and having no one to clean it up."
Xiaoyi said, "Can we go now?"
Lan Shengu said, "Then I have to get the other half of the money. Besides, I think the Jibei Dao Government Affairs Office is capable of doing things, which is something other places can't compare to."
He has been to many central cities, and how should I put it, they are all similar. He has ideas to solve problems, but it is always difficult to implement them. Whenever it involves interests, he can only deal with it on the surface, and none of the root problems can be solved.
It's really different here in Jibei Dao. They are determined to get to the bottom of things. When you think about it, they have even done something as unacceptable as taking down the Municipal Council. It seems that there is nothing they can't do.
He said, "Let's stay here for a while. I, your cousin, also need to rest. I've been too tired these past few days." At this moment, he saw a message coming from Jiepeng. After opening it and taking a look, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
