Whether it's a barrier or a magic array, it inherently has the functions of isolation and offense/defense; it's just that Chu Nian hadn't told these people about it before.
Now that the barrier is complete, and a powerful magic array is hidden within it, those who know about it have regained their confidence in the future. However, this matter cannot be known to everyone; it must be kept secret to prevent aliens from stealing the information.
Ordinary people know nothing about extraterrestrials. All those with superpowers have been ordered to remain silent to avoid causing panic among ordinary people.
After the meeting ended, Lin Jingting took Chu Nian home and told her about the scumbags Jing Yue and Peng Jian that he had discovered were secretly causing trouble.
Although these two acted independently, they did similar things. Not only did they not exert their full strength, but they also secretly tampered with the output of other people's superpowers.
If the barrier malfunctions, everyone will definitely blame Chu Nianxiang first, since everyone has doubts about the barrier.
Moreover, even if the source is traced, it will only lead to Lao Li and Wang Chao.
This barrier covering the entire Earth's skies is called the Celestial Dome. The personnel monitoring the Celestial Dome discovered the anomaly a month later. It was rumored that a large hole might have appeared in the Celestial Dome, and monsters were flying out of it.
The president and the military were extremely serious upon hearing the news, and immediately summoned Chu Nian, who had been living a particularly leisurely life for the past month, to their offices.
Although Chu Nian designed and initiated the setting of this barrier, it's understandable that everyone would initially doubt Chu Nian's abilities now that a problem has arisen. However, everyone unanimously chose the same approach: to seek advice.
They didn't question or accuse Chu Nian, but rather inquired about the unusual activity of the barrier—in fact, everyone was suspicious of the barrier's function, but they all managed to suppress their doubts.
This pleased Chu Nian somewhat. She feigned surprise, her expression unchanged, and asked, "A hole? How is that possible?"
Fan Hua said, "You mean, this situation is simply impossible within the barrier, is that right?"
Chu Nian: "That's not the case. There are several situations that could cause the barrier to appear like this. For example, someone might attack the barrier from the outside with great force. In that case, we should be able to hear the sounds of intense fighting."
Another possibility is that when setting up the barrier, some ability users didn't use their full strength, or even their most proficient ability, but instead used a different ability; or perhaps there was a problem with the ability user's registered ability, causing Minister Fan to make an error in assigning personnel.
Upon hearing this, Fan Hua immediately flew into a rage and demanded, "Do you believe our superhumans engaged in underhanded tactics when setting up the barrier?" As the highest-ranking officer in the military, he had a genuine desire to protect both superhuman and non-superhuman warriors. Therefore, he raised his voice quite loudly when he spoke.
Chu Nian said calmly, "This is just speculation. I believe that for something so important, there must be more than one monitoring device at the scene. Let's investigate carefully. There might be some anomalies that I haven't considered that have caused the current problem with the barrier!"
Everyone agrees on this point. The sheer number of people involved in setting up the barrier makes the investigation extremely complex. The president has already ordered a review of the surveillance footage. However, those with high-level superpowers could easily tamper with the footage without the investigators noticing – their abilities are undeniable!
The only ones capable of identifying everyone are the strongest individuals in the world. Whether it's the president or Fan Hua, they all believe that only Chu Nian and Lin Jingting are capable of doing so.
Now everyone knows Lin Jingting's name, and they believe that he and Chu Nian are both cultivators who came from Huai Mountain.
In truth, the group didn't completely trust Chu Nian and Lin Jingting, given their relatively shallow relationship. However, it seemed they had no one else to rely on besides them. This situation was rather poignant and helpless.
Chu Nian knew that everyone was feeling conflicted. It was perfectly normal for people to feel uneasy in an era of great change. So when the president asked her and Lin Jingting to investigate together, she didn't refuse and even took the initiative to call Lin Jingting over.
These leaders probably realized that Lin Jingting doesn't listen to anyone except Chu Nian.
In fact, when they were at the scene, Chu Nian and Lin Jingting's mental power was enough to cover the entire area, and they were very clear about everyone's every move.
But now they still have to put on a show of investigation, since no one stood up to point out the problem when they clearly discovered it.
To be honest, Lin Jingting had often thought Chu Nian was ruthless and cunning when this matter was brought up: she deliberately waited for a problem to arise before dragging out those two troublemakers. Only when a problem occurred could she attract public attention and severely punish the troublemakers in a state of public panic.
However, as soon as Chu Nian and Lin Jingting arrived at the monitoring room with the leaders of Cangqiong, the staff in charge of the investigation gave them a result: it was Lao Li and Wang Chao.
When Ryan heard this result, he was shocked.
Old Li can be set aside for now. Wang Chao is Renn's confidant and has been loyal to Renn for many years. Renn would never believe that he would sabotage such an important mission.
However, he was only the head of the Exploration Department, and his words carried little weight in front of the president and all the ministers of the military. So, both Lao Li and Wang Chao were summoned to the Presidential Palace.
The barrier concerns the survival of all humanity on Earth. If these two dared to mess up the barrier unintentionally, they will likely lose any chance of promotion. If it was intentional, well, even sentencing them to death wouldn't be enough to appease the public.
However, these two were far more shocked than everyone else present when they heard Fan Hua's interrogation. They had no idea that the barrier was malfunctioning, and they had used their strongest abilities at full power when setting it up. When asked what they had done, they were genuinely clueless.
Chu Nian asked, "Who were you with at the time?"
Beside these two were members of Jingyue's team. Because Fan Hua's arrangements were all in a specific order, Fan Hua remembered this very clearly; after all, as a powerful superhuman with a strong soul, his memory far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Fan Hua asked, "Do you think the several superhumans in the vicinity are suspicious?"
Wang Chao said indignantly, "Wu Nian, is this really necessary? We all came from the same team, and now that the barrier you advocated for has a problem, instead of admitting that your design is flawed, you immediately think of us, your comrades who fought alongside you!"
Fan Hua said angrily, "We found you because when we checked the surveillance footage, we discovered that your ability output did not match your actual situation. This has nothing to do with Wu Nian."
