Chapter 72
Everyone in the car was filled with anticipation. But at this moment, the system pointed out the problem in its sea of consciousness.
"This is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain." The system's voice was somewhat serious. Since returning from hibernation, perhaps out of fear of Mo Xuanji exploiting the situation, the system's frivolous behavior had somewhat subsided, barely managing to restore a tattered image in Mo Xuanji's mind.
"Yes, lure the tiger away from the mountain." Mo Xuanji was relatively perceptive in this regard. He vaguely sensed something was wrong before the system spoke.
This strange operation could be described as an overt conspiracy, a truly despicable one. They assimilated all the previously collected magical instruments and subsequently released them into human society. Regardless of activation or inaction, this move was essentially a complete face-to-face attack.
For the strange, these magic tools were originally purchased for free, so it can be said that they are getting them for free and adding to the trouble. For the official, whether they accept this move or not, they will suffer heavy losses.
If they choose not to accept the offer and concentrate their efforts, countless ordinary people will be killed. For human society, large-scale disappearances and deaths cannot be dismissed as a simple natural disaster. If this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before the mysterious existence is exposed. Once fear erupts, the consequences will be unimaginable.
If they chose to accept the deal, the immediate crisis would be temporarily resolved, but it would also create an unknown hidden danger. No one knew what the Weirdos planned to do with this opportunity. If they chose to accept the deal, the Ability Bureau would be trapped by the Weirdos, being led around by the nose.
Weird knew his own strengths, and also knew what the Ability Bureau was afraid of. They were forcing the authorities to make a decision.
At this point, it's clear what the authorities have chosen. We can only hope they have enough solutions to deal with the upcoming changes.
"Although I don't know the plans of the decision makers above, the current situation is much better than doing nothing." Mo Xuanji said softly.
The mission vehicle carried them at high speed, and soon they saw the target city.
To facilitate movement, everyone wore their everyday clothes to facilitate exercise. Mo Xuanji thought for a moment and carefully removed the longevity lock from her body.
In the comics, the longevity lock can basically be regarded as Mo Xuanji's anti-counterfeiting mark and identity card. Many ordinary people know about the comics, so it is better to hide it first just in case.
After distributing the props and equipment, the four teams each rushed to the area they were responsible for.
Lin Chengjie held the teleportation array in his hand and sat in the rear, ready to provide support at any time.
As soon as he stepped in here, Zhu Changan was almost blinded.
"Wow, it's so lively here." He opened his mouth wide.
There must be some kind of festival going on in the human world these days. The commercial street they were currently on was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, and people were coming and going, but it wasn't crowded. Not long after, a group of people dressed in red came over, playing gongs and drums, and there was a lion dance performance in the middle of the group.
Mo Xuanji spotted the two young lion dancers as demons. While their true forms couldn't be discerned, their demonic aura was unmistakable. They danced with all their might, like ordinary humans, fully immersed in this grand festival.
Occasionally, you can see some little demons among the crowd. These are demons who have chosen to integrate into human society. They look no different from humans and will play and laugh with the humans around them, their faces filled with happy smiles.
Mo Xuanji couldn't help but smile.
"Let's go, we probably have to go a little further." Shen Liuxue said.
Mo Xuanji nodded and was about to leave when a voice called her.
"Hey, kids, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Several uncles and aunts laughed.
Everyone's eyes gathered around him, and Mo Xuanji subconsciously wanted to step back, but suddenly realized that there was no malice in these people's eyes, only gentleness, curiosity and invitation.
Mo Xuanji opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
Shen Liuxue said, "We have to go shoot our homework, time is running out." After that, she shook the strange detector disguised as a camera on her chest.
So people said, "Oh, they're still a group of students!"
Some candies were thrown over from a distance, and the three of them hurriedly tried to catch them.
"Thank you, thank you! It's so much!"
"Catch it! Let's take some food and go!"
"Students should also relax and have some time to study and play."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
In the chaos, an old man selling candied haws picked up some and stuffed them into their hands with a smile.
"Uncle, we haven't paid yet!" Zhu Changan frantically pulled out his phone to pay the old man. He was embarrassed to find that he was used to paying by credit, and suddenly he didn't know how to deal with money. It was only three months, but it felt like a three-year gap.
The old man stopped him cheerfully, waving his hands repeatedly: "Hey, just take the food and eat it. I'm just out for fun today, not planning to make any money. Okay, okay, no need to give me anything, go and have fun."
They did not care whether the three young men knew them or whether they would meet them again in the future. They just offered the purest kindness to any ordinary compatriot as usual, and that was all.
The procession continued to move forward, the sounds of people's laughter and the beating of gongs and drums blending together to create a scene of peace and prosperity.
Mo Xuanji quietly watched the crowd go away, and suddenly a warm current surged in his heart, like happiness, like relief, and something he couldn't understand. He didn't know where these emotions came from, but he didn't reject them.
This place didn't seem to have been invaded by any strange weapons, but even so, the three of them didn't let down their guard. They pretended to be ordinary students filming their homework while they searched carefully, not wanting to miss any loopholes.
If you don't do your best today, how can you keep smiles on people's faces in the future?
Seeing this scene today, the three of them felt that all their previous efforts had been meaningful. If they could make everyone smile from the bottom of their hearts, no matter how great the cost, it would be worth it. They didn't want to let those smiles be overshadowed by the haze.
Shen Liuxue put the candy into his pocket little by little and patted it gently.
“Perhaps this is the meaning of our existence.”
Zhu Changan rolled up his sleeves with great enthusiasm: "Hey, let's go, let's work harder to dig out these cancerous tumors!"
"good."
…
Mo Xuanji split his soul into two halves. Although he had shocked his friends a while ago when he was familiar with the dual opening, he is no longer the young and naive person he once was! He is now Niu Hulu...
"Stop." Yuheng pinched his eyebrows helplessly.
Splitting a soul actually comes at a price. I don't know if it's because the parts I split are different, but every time I do, some strange and different little problems pop up. They're harmless, but they're enough to give me a headache. Just like this time, I can't help but have wild thoughts.
You Lin pushed the door open with ease and said, "Good morning."
Ever since they had formed a partnership, You Lin had always liked to come to him. If it weren't for his busy work schedule, Yu Heng would have thought that this guy coming eight or ten times a day would not be enough.
"You Lin, I'm planning to go out."
After practicing for a period of time, he can now skillfully use the soul-splitting skill to operate dual-open without affecting the system. This is equivalent to being able to use two perspectives at the same time, which doubles the search efficiency.
Although the official side did not ask Yuheng to take action, if he were just Yuheng, he also felt that he should do something.
"Today is a festival for mortals, we can go and take a look." You Lin has already tacitly agreed that the two of them will travel together this time.
Yu Heng smiled softly and said nothing more. One more person meant more strength. Even if something unfortunate happened, with his strength, it should be enough to protect You Lin.
After a fight with Taowu, Yuheng realized that the monsters he had encountered so far were actually quite weak. Even an SS-level monster that sounded intimidating wouldn't last more than ten moves in Taowu's hands.
After instructing Liuliu to look after the house, the two of them left. Perhaps because of her outstanding appearance and temperament, she attracted a great deal of attention along the way.
To passersby, the one in front is easygoing and calm, looking easy to get along with. The one behind is expressionless and mostly silent, but has a slightly immature temperament. At first glance, it looks like an older brother taking his younger brother out for fun.
You Lin, perhaps aloof and aloof, rarely spoke after leaving the house, always staying a foot or so behind him. As they walked, Yu Heng noticed something interesting: no matter how fast or slow he sped up, You Lin always maintained the same distance, unwavering.
Should we go faster? Yu Heng turned around and looked at You Lin, with some ill intentions in his eyes.
You Lin seemed to sense what he was thinking and said helplessly: "If you speed up, I really won't be able to keep up."
"Haha, is that so?" Yuheng covered half of his face with his fan and silently looked away. It was a bit embarrassing to be caught red-handed while trying to play a prank on someone.
"Hey! Boss, are you out playing today too?" A surprised voice suddenly came from not far away.
Yuheng looked back and saw it was the girl who had come to him last time to fix his mirror. Fang Ying was standing across the zebra crossing, hopping and waving at him. Lin Xuan, standing nearby, was so annoyed by her friend's social arrogance that she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.
There seems to be a strange law in this world: there is always a socially anxious friend around a socially strong friend, and there is always a socially anxious friend around a socially strong friend.
For example, Fang Ying and Lin Xuan, Zhu Changan and Mo Xuanji, Yuheng and You Lin.
The green light came on, and Fang Ying hurried over, pulling Lin Xuan.
"Look! He's the one I wanted to tell you about last time. He really is... and... and what was it? Anyway, he looks a lot like one of your idols!" Fang Ying's thinking seemed to be influenced by some mysterious existence. When the cartoon character was about to come out of her mouth, she suddenly stopped, as if she had forgotten how to say a certain noun.
However, this situation wasn't surprising; the human brain would always experience pseudo-amnesia when in an excited state. Except for Mo Xuanji, no one noticed anything was amiss.
It’s Liuhe.
Mo Xuanji never quite understood Liuhe's actions. On the one hand, he used comics to constantly reveal strange existences to humans, while on the other hand, he prevented ordinary people from "breaking the wall" and communicating with those with superpowers.
He seemed to want comics to remain a secret among ordinary humans.
