The news of Chen Chu sealing off the city soon reached the ears of the supernatural organization in Country Y. Ten minutes later, members of the local supernatural organization came to find Chen Chu.
At this time, Chen Chu was walking alone in the city of Odin late at night, searching for Lin Xi's whereabouts.
"Mr. Chen, you have no right to do this. Please open the city barrier immediately." It was late at night, and it was the night of the Sea God Festival. Not many people went out on Odin Island. Even if there were people who wanted to leave the city occasionally, the government could find some excuses to persuade them to go back. But when the sun rose, Odin Island, as a tourist city, would have a large number of tourists. If they were still not allowed to leave, it would inevitably cause a great impact and commotion.
"My friend went missing in the castle and is still in the city. No one is allowed to leave Odin Island until I find her." Chen Chu said in a tone that did not allow for negotiation.
"Your friend is missing. We can help look for him, but you can't close the city." Marjere Harris is an observer sent by the Y Country's superpower organization for the Poseidon Festival. His main task is to observe whether any evil superpowers take the opportunity to cause damage during the Poseidon Festival. If any abnormality is found, report it to the headquarters in time. Odin Island has always been peaceful, and the so-called observers are just a formality. He took the observer mission on his own initiative so that he could have a vacation at public expense, but he encountered such a thing. Now he can say that he regrets it.
"Then go find it." Chen Chu didn't even look at him.
Marjere Harris almost wanted to cry. Anyone could feel the impatience of the S-rank boss in front of him. He was just a small B-rank psychic who usually didn't dare to stand in front of an S-rank boss, but now he had to negotiate with the boss on behalf of the official organization.
"Mr. Chen, we will help you find your companions. We have already sent out the photos. But, can you open the barrier first?" Marjere Harris pleaded again with gritted teeth.
Chen Chu stopped and stared at Marjere Harris quietly with his gloomy eyes. Although he did nothing, Marjere Harris felt a chill from the soles of his feet.
"I... I'll go look for it right now." Marjere Harris didn't dare to say anything more. He took advantage of a fork in the road and turned directly into it, avoiding Chen Chu's sight.
Chen Chu retracted his gaze and continued walking along the street. He knew that his chances of finding someone were slim if he searched aimlessly, but he didn't know what else he could do.
Don't worry, as long as we trap people in the city, we will always find a way. Lin Yan has so many strange props on her, she will definitely find a way to remind herself.
"Ding-dong..." In the quiet street, the cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
Chen Chu took a look at the number and answered the call.
"Chen Chu, what are you doing? Who gave you the power that you dare to seal off the city?" Tang Tianyuan's roar almost pierced the sky.
Chen Chu, however, seemed to have not heard anything, and continued to walk along the predetermined route, while constantly scanning the buildings on both sides. His perception almost covered the entire city, and he could sense any slight fluctuation of supernatural power in any place at the first time.
"Open the barrier for me immediately and take the earliest flight back home tomorrow." Tang Tianyuan ordered.
"I won't go back until I find Lin Yan." Chen Chu said.
"Don't worry about her affairs. Leave it to the superpower organization in Country Y. They will continue to look for her. Your first priority now is to return to the country and report again everything that happened in the Miao village sub-space in detail." Tang Tianyuan said.
"I've said everything I need to say over the phone." Chen Chu said.
"Chen Chu, do you know what you are saying? Have you forgotten your identity?" Tang Tianyuan's tone suddenly turned cold, "I order you to come back immediately."
At this time, Chen Chu just walked to the stall where the two of them had eaten ramen in the afternoon. The owner of the stall had already taken a break, but the tables and chairs placed on the street were still there.
"Tang Tianyuan!" This was the first time Chen Chu called Tang Tianyuan's name. Even though he had been excluded, threatened, and expelled, Chen Chu finally called him "Team Leader Tang" because of their friendship in childhood. "My ability has been upgraded."
"What do you mean?" Tang Tianyuan was stunned, not quite understanding what Chen Chu meant.
"It should be easy for me to kill you now. So, don't mess with me." After saying that, Chen Chu hung up the phone directly without caring about how Tang Tianyuan on the other end of the phone would react after hearing what he said.
Chen Chu continued searching. Ten minutes later, the phone in his hand rang again. This time the number looked familiar, and it seemed to be from Jinshi.
"Hello."
"I heard you sealed off a city." the person on the other end of the phone asked.
"Mrs. Lin is missing." Chen Chu recognized the voice, it was Qingkong.
"I know." Qingkong.
Chen Chu was silent.
"The news of your lockdown of the city has been exposed by Lan Yan. There is a lot of public opinion online now, saying that you mobilized hundreds of thousands of people just to save your girlfriend. Do you have anything to explain about this?" Qing Kong was talking about the online public opinion.
"It was Lan Yan's doing." Chen Chu ignored Qing Kong's ridicule.
When Lin Xi disappeared, he suspected that it was done by Lan Yan's people, and Qing Kong's words at this time just confirmed this point.
"You sealed off the city, which means you are absolutely sure that Lin Xi is still in the city, right?" Qingkong asked.
"Yes, I sealed off the city immediately after Lin Xi disappeared. Even a space-based mutant couldn't create a space channel in such a short time." Chen Chu said.
"So what you have to do now is to find this space-based psychic, or the person who took Lin Xi away." Qingkong asked.
"yes."
"I just checked. The total number of residents on Odin Island, plus the tourists who come here for vacation every year, is about 350,000. And the daily passenger flow on Odin Island is about 50,000." Qingkong said, "That means at least 50,000 people will leave Odin Island tomorrow morning. I'm afraid you won't be able to stop them then."
Chen Chu knew these things without Qingkong reminding him.
"Are you here to persuade me to give up?" Chen Chu asked.
"No, I'm here to give you some advice."
Chen Chu was stunned.
"This matter can actually be big or small. Isn't it just sealing off a city? As long as the reason is justified, public opinion can be easily handled." Qingkong said.
"For example?" Chen Chu asked humbly.
"For example, there are force majeure factors, such as a tornado, traffic disruptions, and people being unable to travel normally," Qingkong said.
Chen Chu glanced at the starry night sky and suddenly thought it was good weather for a tornado.
"As for the public opinion in the supernatural world, it's much easier to find excuses. For example, you discovered Lan Yan's conspiracy, and the city was sealed off to protect the safety of ordinary people." Qingkong continued to suggest, "Anyway, everyone has their own reasons. As a hero who dealt with the geology map, you still have more credibility than Lan Yan."
"What conspiracy does Lan Yan have?" Chen Chu asked.
"They are still thinking about this Aquaman. They will let you know when they have made up their mind."
"Thank you."
"Lin is not just your colleague." After saying that, Qingkong paused and added, "Assistant Tan asked me to tell you something. He said that when Lin joined the company, Xiao Daxian gave Lin a comment."
"What comments?" Chen Chu.
"Although he looks like he's about to die, he won't die easily." Qingkong said.
After hearing the comments, Chen Chu was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses in a daze. A sign of impending death? That's why Lin Xin was so unlucky and often encountered danger. She didn't die easily, so she could always turn misfortune into fortune?
"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen." Marjere Harris waited until Chen Chu finished his call before he dared to approach.
As a representative of the superpowers of Country Y, he actually never went far. He just received a call from his superior, who said that the official Chinese organization had already warned Chen Chu and asked him to urge Chen Chu to open the city sealing barrier again, and this time it would definitely succeed.
Chen Chu put down the phone and glanced at him.
"I...I heard that you agreed to open the barrier that seals the city?" asked Marjere Harris.
"I heard?"
"Yes... yes, I heard it." I heard it from our boss.
"I heard that the weather on Odin Island is going to change soon. There is said to be a tornado." Chen Chu just heard the news.
Tornado?
Marjere Harris looked up at the starry sky and said, "No, the weather on Odin Island is always good during the Poseidon Festival every year."
"Really?" Chen Chu raised his right palm upwards, and in front of Marjere Harris, he condensed a small tornado, and then threw it into the sky in the other's incredulous gaze.
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, the wind raged, the sea waves were surging, and outside the city there were dark clouds, flying sand and rocks.
"!!!" Marjere Harris was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
"Look, a tornado." Having said that, Chen Chu turned and left, disappearing in the wind.
Marjere Harris took out his phone and cried, calling his boss: "Boss, something big has happened. Chen Chu created a natural disaster and dropped a tornado outside the city in front of me. He is determined to close the city..."
Early the next morning, all residents and tourists on Odin Island received a government announcement at the same time: strong winds suddenly occurred near Odin Island, and the city was temporarily closed for the safety of residents and tourists.
Although this announcement caused quite a stir, the strong winds were a fact, and most people quickly accepted it. Of course, there were some who disobeyed, and as soon as those who disobeyed the order left the city, they were blown back by tornadoes. After a few times, no one wanted to leave the city anymore.
"In order to trap us, Chen Chu actually created a natural disaster. How dare he? Isn't he afraid of causing international disputes?" Dracula was a little confused. Chen Chu's behavior was somewhat like their Blue Flame.
No, even Blue Flame was not arrogant enough to directly seal off the city.
“So what? With Odin Island’s food reserves, even if the city is closed, it can only be closed for three days at most.” said the red-haired woman.
After three days, the city was running short of food, and the Y government would never allow Chen Chu to seal off the city again. Even less than three days. Chen Chu's behavior was nothing but provocation, and the Y government would not tolerate it.
"That still takes three days." Dracula said uneasily, "I always feel uneasy."
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in Odin City. It will take him a long time to check them all." The red-haired woman seemed very confident. "At this moment, he is under more pressure than us. We just need to keep an eye on this puppet."
Inside the glass cover, outside the toy castle, Lin Xi woke up in a daze and heard two people discussing Chen Chu's creation of a natural disaster.
Senior Chen Chu created a natural disaster? This is strictly prohibited by the government.
Is it for a reasonable lockdown?
That's right, there are so many tourists in Odin Island. If the city is closed without a legitimate reason, it will inevitably cause huge public opinion and turmoil. But even if there is a natural disaster, it can only delay it for a while. And the longer the time, the greater the pressure on Senior Chen Chu. No, she can't wait any longer. She must find a way to let Senior Chen Chu notice the abnormality of the puppet shop as soon as possible.
Immediately trigger a car accident penalty?
"System, is there a minimum requirement for the merit points to seal the plague?" Before clearing the merit points, Lin Xi had one thing she needed to confirm.
"No, the price of sealing the plague is to clear your merit points, so as long as your merit points are greater than 0, you can clear the seal." said the system.
"That's fine." Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Merit points can be cleared automatically or actively. When she thought of using the car accident to attract Chen Chu's attention, she did not clear her merit points immediately and trigger the car accident penalty because she considered the issue of the plague seal. Because the plague seal requires clearing all merit points in the system, Lin was afraid that if she cleared her merit points in advance and triggered the system penalty, she would not have enough merit points to seal the plague in the remaining time. Once the seal fails, the plague will spread.
In addition, there was another reason, that is, when she thought of this method yesterday, it was already late at night, and she was not sure whether Chen Chu was nearby. If Chen Chu was not nearby, a car accident late at night with two S-level psychics to deal with the aftermath would probably be dealt with before it attracted any attention.
But now it's different, it's daytime and there are people outside.
"System, I want to make a deal with you using 62 merit points." Lin Xi made a decision.
"62 points of merit can't be traded for anything." said the system.
"Don't worry, this deal is not difficult."
"Tell me about it."
"Let the cars keep hitting me until I turn back into a human." Lin Xi risked her life.
"This request can be met." System.
【Merit value -62.】
[Host's merit value is cleared to 0, triggering a car accident penalty. ]
