Chapter 672 Modern Ghost World 6
When the Painted Skin Master sensed the danger, it was too late to escape.
Chu Hongyu pushed his palms forward suddenly, and a fire snake roared out along with this force.
Wherever it passed, the air was instantly sucked out, bamboo leaves and bamboo poles turned into ashes, and the ground was charred black.
The blue-purple flames came close to the Painted Skin Master in the blink of an eye. It didn't even have time to let out a wail before its skin, skin, and bones turned into light smoke.
The bloody words were licked by the flames, and the stroke that had just been pressed back by the Painted Skin Master evaporated into nothingness in an instant.
The wind in the bamboo forest gradually died down, leaving the scene in a state of devastation. Only Chu Hongyu's figure, half-kneeling on the ground, remained, surrounded by a charred mass.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the central monitoring room of the Yuling Division suddenly became tense.
“Beep—beep—beep—”
The alarm light turned from orange to red, and a sharp alarm sounded throughout the Yuling Division.
A staff member quickly reported: "30.7 North Latitude, 114.2 East Longitude, the peak psychic energy has reached 3274 K, and the spectrum is abnormal!"
The operator spoke at a speed as rapid as machine gun fire: "Color: blue-purple, duration: 2.3 seconds."
As soon as he finished speaking, the operator decisively pressed the freeze button, and the light spot on the screen froze instantly, like a blooming iris, breathtakingly beautiful yet with a hint of danger.
The young man sitting in the main seat was calm and steady, tapping the table with his slender knuckles, making crisp tapping sounds.
"Adjust satellite visible light."
His voice was steady and carried unquestionable authority.
The scene quickly switched, and a charred bamboo forest came into view. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this place had just experienced a fierce battle.
In the middle of the bamboo forest, there was a figure half-kneeling. This person was Chu Hongyou.
Shen Que narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the figure on the screen, and said softly: "Songyun Temple...it's her."
Shen Que is a first-level combat analyst of the "Suzaku Group" of the Yuling Division.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself, "Songyun Temple...Xuanweizi."
His tone was flat, without any emotion, just the usual tone of command.
"Prepare the helicopter, departing in thirty minutes."
As soon as the words fell, someone quickly took the order and began to make preparations.
…
Three hours later, at the gate of Songyun Temple.
A dark green tactical helicopter was parked steadily on an open space on the mountainside. Its rotors were spinning rapidly, and the strong wind blew the leaves everywhere.
He jumped out of the cabin neatly and swiftly, the hem of his black windbreaker rustling in the strong wind.
The heels of leather shoes tapped on the stone steps, making a crisp and rhythmic "tapping" sound.
The door of the side hall slowly opened, and Chu Hongyue came out holding a half-basin of water.
At this time, she had changed out of her battle clothes and taken a shower. There was no trace of battle on her body, but her face looked a little pale.
Shen Que raised his hand and retrieved the previously monitored footage from the computer, which clearly displayed:
[Bamboo Forest Blue Purple Spirit Explosion Peak 3274K]
"Is there anything you want to explain?" His voice was not loud, but it carried an imperative tone.
Talented people like Chu Hongyou are registered with relevant state departments.
This time, there are obvious abnormalities in the Chu Hongyue, which is seriously inconsistent with her previous information, so it is understandable that she is being investigated.
But Chen Que's condescending attitude made Chu Hongyu very unhappy.
She placed the basin on the stone steps and said calmly, "Thunder magic can cause misfire."
He was unwilling to say any more unnecessary explanations and just went about doing other things, not bothering to pay any attention to Chen Que.
With a light stroke of his finger, the curve on the screen instantly enlarged, and a line of eye-catching red words popped up next to the peak: [Unknown high energy 13% not included].
He handed the tablet to Chu Hongyou and looked straight at her.
He deliberately slowed down his tone and softened his voice.
"It was my statement that was problematic, I'm not here to question you.
As talented people in Daxia, the more capable you are, the happier we are for you.
But you also know that the country needs to have some understanding of your capabilities so that it can better control them.
Otherwise, if any of you go astray, the country will be helpless.
This is the ugly truth that the state has already said when you registered.
There is something obviously wrong with you now. I think this must be your trump card. I can understand that you don't want others to know about it, and I can also not pursue it for the time being.
How long you can hide the secret without being discovered by others depends on your ability.
But this is not without other requirements.
Now you just need to answer me, will you cooperate or accept the censorship?"
In fact, Shen Que's questioning tone just now was just a psychological tactic of his.
He wanted to gain the upper hand, but Chu Hongyou was young and his master had already taught him the art by himself a few years ago.
Although the little girl is very powerful in Taoism, she may not be able to understand the ways of the world without someone to teach her.
If he could be frightened and know the girl's trump card, that would be even better. If he couldn't be frightened, it didn't matter. He was thick-skinned and could just switch to other strategies.
Besides, he didn't come here to dig out the secret of Chu Hong glaze.
It is said that all these talented people have been registered, but if they want to hide something, the country will have no way to do anything about it. They can't just force people into a corner.
Shen Que himself didn't have the ability to see through it, and for these talented people, they could just find a reason to get away with it.
But again, what if? What if this little girl is tricked out?
The main purpose of this trip was that he was impressed by the capabilities that Chu Hongyou displayed on the satellite and wanted to invite her to cooperate.
He happened to have a difficult matter and urgently needed help from a capable person like Chu Hongyou.
While listening to Shen Que's words, Chu Hongyu gently brushed across the charred soil displayed on the tablet screen.
It looked like he was recalling the battle scene, but in fact he had already guessed Shen's intention and the reason why he did what he did just now.
Although this person's words were a bit annoying, cooperation was definitely necessary. This was the real purpose of Shen Que's visit this time.
We cannot retreat when faced with major issues of right and wrong.
It is also the principle followed by the Taoists in this world.
Besides, Chu Hongyou also wanted to accumulate more experience in fighting ghosts. There would be no trouble in the Taoist temple for the time being, so it would be fine to take a walk for a short time.
After pretending to think for a moment, she looked up at Shen Que and said, "We can cooperate, but Songyun Temple does not allow outsiders to stay."
Shen Que has already found out that although Chu Hongyu is young, he is actually a smart person.
It's best not to hide anything when talking to such people.
"Don't worry, no one will enter Songyun Temple without your permission."
Since he had received a positive answer from Chu Hongyou, he did not keep it a secret any longer. He slid his fingers lightly across the tablet in his hand, and a bird's-eye view of the night scene unfolded.
