Chapter 77: The Storm is Coming

"Attention, a suspected Catastrophe Grade target, 【Hongye】, has been confirmed to have appeared in the coastal waters of Binhai City and has now landed."

Song Xian looked at the message sent to his old Nokia phone, his brows furrowed tightly.

The thing he worried about most had, in the end, occurred inevitably.

Because the last known location of that 【Card】 was Binhai City, these dangerous fellows had appeared one after another; counting this confirmed 【Hongye】, 3 Catastrophe Grade targets had appeared, and 7 Dangerous Grade observation subjects had appeared.

And those who followed these people also had a very high probability of being unconfirmed Reincarnators.

In an instant, Binhai City had gained many unstable factors.

Luoshui noticed her master looking troubled and carefully offered him coffee.

"Master, is there anything you need my help with?"

She blinked her eyes, seemingly hinting that Song Xian could make use of some of her family's connections.

But Song Xian only rubbed his temples; although the Luo family had great influence, when dealing with these Monsters, the military could only be the final trump card, not a conventional weapon.

Only power that appears less often can form a deterrent to people.

Once the military has a direct conflict with Reincarnators, allowing Reincarnators to start testing how much impact a certain level of intensity can cause to the existing order, chaos will inevitably occur.

The reason Dongxia is stable, and the reason it has not fallen into a paradise for Shooting Mastery Reincarnators like the Freedom Federation, is precisely because it always keeps its Vessel hidden within.

Every Reincarnator who attempted to challenge the order in Dongxia was eventually killed, which greatly deterred those madmen.

Coupled with what can be called the world's strictest gun control measures, Dongxia can be said to be the place where Shooting Mastery Reincarnators have the hardest time performing.

It's just that this time, the ones who have come are some difficult characters.

Knock, knock.

The office door was knocked, and the two looked up to see the Bureau Chief's helpless face appearing at the door.

Song Xian did not say much, just put down the coffee, stood up, and walked toward the outside of the office.

Luoshui knew that those dangerous missions would likely require her master to complete them again; she looked around the office, and although there were a few colleagues who were said to possess special skills like her master, they were all keeping their heads down at this moment, having reduced their own sense of presence to the minimum.

Song Xian walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, and turned back to say:

"Luoshui, I might be quite busy these next few days. If there is any situation with Bai Cangshu, you will have to rely on your own judgment on the spot."

Luoshui opened her eyes wide, unable to believe that such a task was actually handed to her alone, but seeing the looks the others were giving her, she suppressed her panicked expression, nodded, and sat down.

She comforted herself:

"Bai Cangshu is just an observation subject, just an observation subject... it'll be fine."

Outside the office, the Bureau Chief, who knew a little of the inside story, sighed helplessly.

"Song Xian, you know that our department is still very weak right now; I can only trouble you once more."

Song Xian nodded and did not reply.

The Bureau Chief knew he was in the wrong, but he had no better way; in the current situation, he felt he was simply the most disgusting type of superior, relying on Song Xian's reasonableness to work him to the bone.

But at a time of such great changes not seen in a century, countries had no good way to respond and could only rely on people as heroic as Song Xian to step forward.

Song Xian walked out of the building and drove directly toward the Minato Ward of Binhai City.

Just shortly after Song Xian left, the Bureau Chief's phone, which he hadn't even sat down with yet, rang again.

"Director Wang, we just received news that the Goryeo March Consortium has sent an inspection team, saying they want to consider building a production line in Binhai City."

"Based on the current situation, I hope you can send personnel to ensure the inspection team is not affected by those unstable factors."

Director Wang felt his old problem of migraines was about to recur.

It was supposed to be a good place to live in peace, so why had there been so many things happening recently?

But the March Consortium was one of the main participants in the global chip field; Dongxia could not sit idly by regarding this kind of industry, so he helplessly agreed.

Director Wang looked out the window; the sea was covered in dark clouds, looking as if a rainstorm was about to arrive.

Bai Cangshu looked at Doma's head in his hand, tried it, and found it could still be put into his Backpack; he thought for a moment and tentatively asked:

"Does this extra head of mine have any use?" Knight Girl still wore a spirited smile; one could not tell at all that beneath this enthusiastic and approachable body hid such terrifying speed and power.

"A head that can serve as a foundation for power is quite a good item; Reincarnators can spend a certain price to integrate it into their own bodies at certain nodes."

"The so-called 'one general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither'—the death of a large number of ordinary people can forge one powerhouse, and the bones of a large number of powerhouses can forge the strongest Reincarnator."

Knight Girl said this while nodding.

"If you don't need this head, we can also recycle it for a price of 3000 Dimension Points."

Bai Cangshu immediately put away Doma's head; this kind of "recycling" was obviously an extremely low price just by thinking about it.

And according to Knight Girl's words, it was likely that Reincarnators didn't just have one chance to fuse like this when advancing from 【Paper】 grade to 【Bing】 grade; there would be other opportunities to continue fusing materials from other powerhouses, thereby allowing themselves to gain more and stronger Tese.

These Tese would be an important component of a Reincarnator's strength.

"Is there any way for me to continue fusing other Tese, Miss Knight?"

Knight Girl just smiled.

!

"I don't know about that either; I only know that Reincarnators who meet the conditions will manifest a special radiance in my eyes."

Bai Cangshu clicked his tongue inwardly; this was likely another obscure hint, just like the puzzles for hidden quests deliberately set in some games.

But fortunately, even if it were a game, this space was a multiplayer game, and as everyone knows, in multiplayer games, where there are puzzles, there are naturally walkthroughs.

The only difference is how much of a price you need to pay.

He waved his hand and turned to walk out of the shop.

Bai Cangshu checked the time; he had already spent nearly an hour in the Public Space, because he had already learned from 【Black Butler】 that the 【Training Institute】 was a place to spend Dimension Points and Singularity to specifically train abilities, masteries, and even attributes at high speed.

He was not prepared to finish the remaining 1 hour at this moment; he had to leave time for training.

Moreover, there was a more urgent matter he couldn't wait to attend to.

Bai Cangshu hurried to the Shanty Town, spent 1000 Dimension Points to rent a temporary Stall, then hung Doma's head inside and set it to accept offers, but required his confirmation before a transaction could be completed.

This is another kind of probing; anyone who needs this kind of head must be someone who knows the special casting path, and wanting to obtain this kind of information, starting with the buyer is the best method.

This head of Doma can also be considered quite a good material; just after hanging it up, it attracted quite a few gazes, but Bai Cangshu did not wait, directly teleporting back to his Private Space and returning to the real world.

Reappearing in the dormitory, Bai Cangshu glanced at the mobile phone placed specifically on the table; less than five minutes of real time had passed, and he pulled open the curtains while dialing a number on his phone.

"Hello, is this Teacher Zhang? It's me, Bai Cangshu."

"Isn't there an International Marathon competition in Haidai these two days?"

"Yes, that's right, I want to participate; you know, I am somewhat good at sports, hehe, if I have good Luck, I might even be able to win some honor for the school."

Hearing Bai Cangshu say this, the teacher surnamed Zhang on the other end of the phone also glanced at the planned schedule; sports events were indeed, in her eyes, one of the few choices where Bai Cangshu could use that strange strength for positive things.

She did not refuse; anyway, Bai Cangshu was now in the second semester of his junior year, and there were very few major courses left.

"Do you need me to send a classmate to go with you... never mind, just watch your own safety."

The counselor teacher hesitated to speak several times, but in the end, she only heard the beeping sound on the phone.

Bai Cangshu hung up the phone, his mood quite good; he opened his computer, plugged in the Storage Device extracted from the Backpack of Evans, skillfully opened a website named "Silk Road," and began using the power of money to lower the difficulty of his information acquisition.

By evening, a personnel list of the Haidai Energy Group appeared on Bai Cangshu's computer.

Looking at this list, Bai Cangshu did not find the name of Lu Ziyang, but soon, he revealed a smile.

"Lu Ziyang, lzy... Lu Zeyu..."

"Vincent, this is a somewhat fatal bad habit."

Thanks to the big boss Long-term for the recommendation.
