Chapter 76
The next morning, they went downstairs to work.
As soon as they arrived at the safety center, they clearly felt the low pressure inside the safety center.
Everyone was walking back and forth hurriedly, carrying documents, looking very stressed.
There is no leisure at all as in the usual mornings.
Xia Meng caught Su Fangxiao and asked, "What happened?"
Su Fangxiao's usual gentle composure vanished as he spoke solemnly, "The appearance of a demonic eye in the city is no small matter. The demonic eye that appeared yesterday was small and didn't cause serious casualties, but over fifty people died and over a hundred were injured, both minor and serious."
She explained seriously, "If the one that appeared yesterday was a giant demonic eye like the one in the no-man's land, let alone a residential building, I'm afraid the area within a kilometer or two of your residential complex would have become..."
Su Fangxiao closed his mouth and did not continue speaking.
But Xia Meng already understood.
For a moment, she felt relieved, and then she felt scared.
What’s more, there are concerns about the future.
The first magic eye has appeared, how far will the second and third be?
She turned around and looked at Li Zhou.
Li Zhou whispered, "Let's go find Zhou Qi first."
The two went to Zhou Qi's office.
Zhou Qi received a lot of phone calls early in the morning.
I received calls in succession from the directors of security departments of several other black towers in the country.
After a few phone calls, he was already covered in cold sweat.
When Xia Meng came in, she saw his face full of gloom at first glance.
Xia Meng: "Director Zhou?"
Zhou Qi looked up and said, "You guys came just in time. I just happened to need to talk to you about something."
Zhou Qi said this and wiped his face with his hand.
I thought to myself, what’s the big deal?
After finally solving the source of the spreading strange disease, a more troublesome demon eye appeared.
The killing power of the evil eye is much more terrifying than the strange disease.
It had been staying peacefully in the no-man's land. Every few months, the Black Tower would send people to the major no-man's lands to clear them out.
Now it's fine, it actually came out by itself.
It is not controllable at all and appears wherever it wants.
It's hard to guard against.
Moreover, once it occurs, it will inevitably cause a large number of casualties.
Zhou Qi didn't dare to think further.
If it happens once, he can still cover it up by saying that the construction quality is not up to standard.
What about next time?
Can he still find a reason to deceive everyone?
Can he still suppress public opinion?
This time alone has caused an uproar on all major platforms.
Countless people are questioning the construction company and the housing and construction department, asking them to give a reasonable explanation as to why such a tragedy occurred less than eight years after the community was built?
When special events occur, the Black Tower has authority higher than that of most departments.
Zhou Qi directly issued an order in the name of the Black Tower Security Department, stating that the public must not be allowed to discover the truth. The blame should be shared among all the major departments, and they should all share the burden.
All major departments are suffering.
But there's no way.
Once the truth is made public, it will definitely cause greater panic.
Magic Eye.
Its appearance is like a fuse.
No one knows what this fuse will trigger.
It may be the prelude to the Third World War, or it may be the prelude to the extinction of mankind.
I can't think about it too much, and I can't think about it too much.
Zhou Qi couldn't help but sigh.
The world is becoming more and more chaotic.
The position of the head of the security department is becoming increasingly difficult to hold.
He looked at Xia Meng and Li Zhou and said, "I was just looking for you guys about the Demon Eye."
Xia Meng pointed at herself: "What about me? I'm not a combatant."
Why is there a word “们”?
Does she look like someone capable of fighting?
The only thing about her that was similar to the Sentinel was that she also had a spirit body.
However, when the evil eye appeared, Li Zhou's spirit body was killing everyone, while her spirit body was hiding in her arms and trembling.
The only role Ergou can play is probably to shout "Come on 666" from the back.
Whether you can shout it out or not is another matter.
After all, it only squeaks.
Zhou Qi was silent for a moment, then said, "Just listen to me first."
Xia Meng calmed down.
At Zhou Qi's signal, the two pulled out two chairs opposite his desk and sat down.
Zhou Qi tapped lightly on the table with the four fingers of his right hand.
He himself was probably also choosing his words carefully.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "In the past, missions to eliminate the Demon Eye were issued directly from headquarters, and the targets of these missions were generally S-rank. Ordinary A-rank wouldn't be able to handle it."
Looking at the present day, let alone the entire Beijing Tower.
Even if all the special agents in all the black towers in China were counted, he was the only one who had truly dealt with the Demon Eye. Perhaps he was the only one who knew how to deal with the current situation.
Zhou Qi can only place his hopes on Li Zhou.
Li Zhou said, "I'm not the only one."
Zhou Qi was stunned.
Who else?
Li Zhou stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "There's probably another group of people who have had similar experiences. They're probably climbing the Great Wall right now."
Zhou Qi: “???”
Xia Meng added at the right moment: "They are the elites sent by the other Black Towers."
The major branches of the Black Tower were not stingy, and the people they sent were all the best in their respective branches.
Apart from the S-level, they are the most outstanding Transcendent A-level Sentinels.
Zhou Qi also considered them.
But he shook his head: "They were only sent here temporarily. Theoretically, they are not subject to the deployment of Beijing Tower."
Moreover, they only came to "learn from the masters", and they can leave at any time once the strange disease is over.
Li Zhou said: "Theory is theory, but now is a special case."
Li Zhou: "It's clearly stated in the Black Tower's special incident response policy that if an incident seriously threatens public safety and the danger level reaches SS level or above, the local Black Tower has the right to order all special forces within its jurisdiction to prioritize their missions."
This special clause has the authority to command all sentries below S-rank.
In particular, the clause also states:
When there is an S-class sentry in the jurisdiction, the S-class has direct command authority.
As for the Demon Eye incident, basically, once it occurs, it is a major event above SS level.
So, looking at it this way, Zhou Qi really found the right person.
After Herman left, there is only Li Zhou, an S-level person, in China.
He alone had the authority to order those people to stay.
Zhou Qi looked at Li Zhou: "What do you think?"
The matter of the evil eye is too serious. No one can take the responsibility and no one can handle it.
Li Zhou glanced at Xia Meng.
He pondered for a few seconds and said slowly, "I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run."
Zhou Qi: "How do you say that?"
Li Zhou: "Why did the Demon Eye suddenly run out of the no-man's land? If we don't figure this out, all other efforts will be useless."
What he didn't say was that the location where the Demon Eye appeared was too coincidental.
Why did it appear across from their house?
It was as if it was coming just for the two of them.
Or rather, it seemed more like he was coming for Xia Meng.
Last night, the two of them leaned on the sofa and talked a lot.
Xia Meng expressed many of the concerns she had during this period.
She said she suspected the evil eye was directed at her.
But when he asked her the reason, she couldn't tell him.
After a while, there were only two words: intuition.
Just these two words are indeed a bit unreliable.
But Li Zhou had witnessed many times how sharp Xia Meng's "intuition" was.
Incredibly sharp and almost never wrong.
When she feels there is a problem, it often turns out that there is indeed a problem.
The two discussed it all night.
Decided to divert the blame first.
Now, the top priority for both of them is to find Luo Xunfei.
Therefore, they planned to use Li Zhou's S-level identity to mobilize the Black Towers around the world to conduct a carpet search for Luo Xunfei.
At the same time, Xia Meng and Li Zhou will set off for the headquarters.
This was equivalent to a chess move that killed Hermann.
He refused to hand over Luo Xunfei, so Xia Meng went to find him with the "Magic Eye BUFF".
If he doesn't hand over Luo Xunfei, he will put everyone in the headquarters in danger.
If he doesn't want to implicate others, he has to hand over Luo Xunfei.
It's just Luo Xunfei, there's no need to sacrifice so many lives—
Xia Meng admitted that this was a risky move.
If the evil eye really appears around her again, it will definitely affect innocent people.
The safest way is actually to send her to a place where there is no one else around.
For example, another no-man's land.
This is the safest way.
But who knows when the next time will be?
One day later?
Or a month later?
Or a year later?
In this case, we might as well make full use of this time bomb-like BUFF now.
No one knows when the next one will come.
She didn't know, and neither did Hermann.
Therefore, this move can bring out its effect.
…
After Li Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Qi gradually opened his eyes.
He was shocked and asked, "You guys are planning to go to headquarters?"
Li Zhou nodded. He didn't explain too much to Zhou Qi, saying simply, "So, you'd better hold those sentries back and keep them in Beijing. If the Demon Eye reappears, I can order them to perform peacekeeping missions as an S-rank officer."
Of course, once Xia Meng left, the possibility of the Demon Eye appearing in Beijing again was very slim.
Li Zhou didn't say this, but Zhou Qi understood it.
Those people were like a layer of insurance left behind after Li Zhou left.
But whether this life-saving talisman can be kept depends on Zhou Qi's ability.
Zhou Qi was a little worried: "What reason do I have to keep them here?"
Xia Meng suggested: "Use delicious food? You know, foreigners can't resist Chinese food."
Zhou Qi panicked when he heard this: "Just relying on Beijing, a food desert? Don't be ridiculous."
Xia Meng: "It's okay, the food in the food desert is enough to deal with them."
Because of her profession, Xia Meng often followed Wang Xiangyi around the country to attend various cutting-edge summits.
I have also met many industry leaders who came from abroad specifically for meetings.
We chatted together and had meals together.
The vast majority of foreigners are curious about Chinese food.
For them, even West Lake vinegar fish is a novel delicacy.
Xia Meng calmly pointed out a clear path for Zhou Qi: "Don't worry, just arrange meals for them according to the map of China, and change cities every day. No, change cities every meal, and we can guarantee that we can control them for at least a month."
Zhou Qi: “…” That makes sense.
Ten minutes later, Ou Xu, who was climbing the Great Wall with a group of energetic sentries in the distance, took out his cell phone and took a look at the message he had just received.
[Zhou Qi: I'll give you a new mission. For the next month, serve as a tour guide for those branch elites. Make sure they stay in Beijing.]
【Zhou Qi: All expenses will be reimbursed by Black Tower.】
Ou Xu, who was arranged in an unclear manner, said: "?"
