193. Calm
"According to the Super Carnival Event Command, an electrical worker died last night because he did not comply with the operation specifications and accidentally touched the high-voltage line while carrying out routine line maintenance. This is also the first accident that occurred in a super carnival event that was perfectly organized. ”
Here's how it was described in the news. Most of the people had no idea of the scene that was immediately under control after the incident, and the few security guards who arrived at the scene at the first time had been transferred out of the players' village and sent them to Mexico with a very generous bonus. The FBI only sent two people to show up and then disappeared, and the Los Angeles police only routinely conducted an "autopsy" to "confirm" the certainty of the electrocution. Subsequently, the matter was settled. Accidents are inevitable. This time, the Super Carnival involved dozens of venues, hundreds of public places, and tens of thousands of people serving the Super Carnival in various ways. In the three weeks since the beginning of the event, except for one time when two photojournalists sprained their legs because they were competing for the shooting position, what can be called an accident is that a poor person drank alcohol poisoning at a certain banquet and no waiter found out. Although a "electrician" died, such accidents kept happening, and it did not make any difference because of the carnival activities.
Only the women of Murray's squad thought it was a little strange. They watched at night as Zorlin, Murray, and Chirom dispersed on guard, and when they came back and talked on the phone, they began to be awake at all times. After everyone finished eating the turkey and pizza, Zolin claimed to read until 3 a.m. before going to bed, and by that time, Chirome, who had said to have suddenly woken up and couldn't sleep, had already started making coffee. But although they talked to each other in private, the girls still did not raise their doubts with them. Perhaps, when they are around, that sense of security can already make them not have to think too much.
Sadia was a little passive at the moment, and it had only been a few hours since it happened. Insula, who was far away in Atlanta, already knew that the werewolf was coming for her, the Stranger near here. And it is impossible for someone who knows things not to know. The Dark Council rarely sends werewolves to act alone, even the less cannon fodder ones who have mastered autonomous transformation. The main reason is that in addition to being strong, werewolves are very poor in other aspects unless they are some guys who have undergone other cultivation. In particular, werewolves' resistance to psychic attacks and charms is almost negligible. Sending a werewolf, just a werewolf to deal with Sadia, obviously the Dark Council's evaluation of Sadia's strength is not high at all.
At this moment, Sadia was a little apprehensive. Due to the sudden launch of an all-out offensive by the Dark Council. Aside from a phone call from an elder of the Order of Truth telling her not to worry, that the security of the event command was still quite reliable, there was no further news. At this moment, Sadia had no choice but to accept "protective surveillance". And she didn't even know who those two guys who were hanging as first-level security guards of the event headquarters security department were sacred.
As for the immature spirit master, he has become a laughing stock at this moment. It's not that he's laughing at his strength, it's that he's actually frizzy and ran away after killing the werewolf. Spiritual masters have always been bad at hand-to-hand combat, and even most of them only master a few offensive and defensive methods, and then constantly cultivate these methods into conditioned reflexes, until they are no longer proficient. Being able to defeat the werewolf single-handedly is definitely an unexpected achievement, but will you be afraid of seeing blood? I actually ran back to call my teacher to cry, and even almost did something that did not go through the brains to surrender to the police. Such a practitioner really doesn't know what to say.
The guys who came to ensure the smooth running of the carnival were really good, and before it was morning, Zuo Lin felt a few people moving around the woods and small artificial lake in the middle of the player's village, and later, the typical magic fluctuations enveloped the entire player's village. Those guys actually laid down two magic arrays with a fairly large range of action in a row, one was magic detection, and the other was the source of tranquility - a spiritual magic array, which could make it easier for everyone in the area of effect to feel stable and peaceful.
The materials required to set up these two magic arrays need to be injected with magic power, which is a lot of money. Zuo Lin couldn't help but sigh, no wonder it was difficult for elemental mages to maintain the continuous development of their system, this was all money burning. In the Middle Ages, when knowledge and culture were still in the hands of a few people, there was still a way to get those expensive magic materials, but now, if you want to cultivate an elemental magician with rich experience in spell casting and passable experience in setting up magic arrays, I am afraid that you will have to throw at least twenty or thirty million dollars.
When they felt the energy surge of the magic array, the powerful energy of the three druids naturally launched a resistance. Almost two minutes later, a handsome brunette young man in a suit and tie stood at the door of Murray's team's residence. He wore a security badge pinned to his chest, but unlike the other security guards' strict and meticulous expressions, the young man had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hello, I am a specially appointed employee of the Security Department. The young man respectfully handed a business card to Zuo Lin, and the sunlight swept across the surface of the card, revealing another row of fonts in addition to the black printing ink.
Zuo Lin took the business card and asked, "Please tell me what you mean, we have no intention of interfering with your work." ”
The young man smiled a little more naturally and said, "I'm a member of the American Federation of Paranormals, and you should already know what happened here last night." ”
Zuo Lin felt the air around him seem to pause, and he immediately sensed that the young man had gently opened his abilities, and he was not threatening.
"That's the only thing I'm capable of, controlling the propagation of sound in a small area, and I think it's better to keep our content between us, doesn't it?" said the young man, "My name is Wolf." Excuse me, where are you, and your companions, from?"
Zuo Lin flashed his lion crest, and Wolf immediately showed a look of surprise. "I didn't expect you to be here, it's really disrespectful. And ...... your companions too?"
Wolf didn't finish his sentence, but he saw Zuo Lin nodding. When his expression calmed down, he was a little happy. "With you here, we're probably making a bit of a fuss. It's a mess out there, and there's no way we're going to have a lot of people in our federation here to keep those guys safe. If you have any trouble, please be able to help if necessary. And rest assured, if something really comes to that. We will also do everything in our power to ensure that your identity is not revealed. In this regard, I believe you have heard of the qualifications of the American Federation of Strangers. ”
Wolfe's statement is unique and interesting. Zolin nodded, acknowledging Wolfe's proposal, and said, "I know. I have a lot of friends here now. And, I'm relieved to have you here. Neither Source of Tranquility nor Magic Detection is a trick. ”
Zolin's compliment was somewhat condescending, but Wolf was still very useful. In the realm of supernatural abilities and cultivators, high-ranking cadres in super-ancient and quite powerful groups like the Druid Council can only look up to supernatural beings like Wolfe. If Zuo Lin behaves too approachable, it will cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. Basically. Being too relatable and "doing nothing" is the same thing in most people's eyes, not a good thing.
After Wolf left, Murray, who had been watching closely from the side while Zolin and Wolf were talking, asked, "This guy is not strong." Probably not one of those mages. Is the Federation of American Paranormal really available, and there are dedicated publicists?" Although Wolf's ability is to control the transmission of sound in a small area, it is not a problem for Zolin, who can take out a pair of ear peaches to make Murray listen to the voice that Wolfe has cut off. Ear peaches are not connected to each other through sound waves.
Murray's tone was a little sarcastic. The American Paranormal Society is a strange organization, and they are the only "company" listed on Wall Street among the many capable groups in the world. Their "business" is oddly wide, and most of it is considered by the vast majority of people to be the sense of humor of the owners of this business. Their core business is the creation of comics, animations, movies, and other media products, the marketing of peripheral products, and the copyright agency business. However, their company's business scope includes "exorcism", "soul purification", "spell breaking", "psychic", "paranormal defense", and so on...... The vast majority of ordinary people don't think that's true. In fact, their creation is just to hire a few gunmen to exaggerate what happened to the real Paranormal people, package it, and then make it into a comic animation. As their propaganda about the "Anomalous Ones" became more and more extensive and deeper, no one thought that the stories in those manga and anime were real. When they were young, the children might have liked one or a few of the vivid characters, but as they grew up, they would grow and mature in the crowd like any child who has no abilities and no chance to enter the spiritual system, discarding all their previous imaginations and visions as naïve, and then forgetting about those charming characters. And in recent years, as the profitability of media products has become better and better, just relying on the production and script of several Hollywood fantasy blockbusters every year, plus the sales of peripheral products, the American Federation of Strangers has become richer and richer.
"Don't underestimate that guy, there's a good chance that Wolf is a very strong fighting character. After thinking for a moment, Zuo Lin made a decision for Wolfe.
"Why?" Murray and Chirome were a little surprised, they didn't understand how powerful it was to control sound transmission in a small area.
"Remember our mighty Mr. Bat?" Zorin referenced, referring to Karn the "Bat" who was previously only thought to have expertise in spying, and during the battle to defend the headquarters of the Druid Council, he was almost a moving human cannon after condensing ultrasound through activation.
No wonder Wolf dared to face a person with a necessarily powerful ability when he didn't know the situation, and he behaved so calmly, it turned out that he had no fear. Needless to explain, Murray immediately understood that this so-called small-scale control of sound wave transmission is a "potential" ability.
