Chapter XXIV
“……”
Casually throwing away the red-hot iron sword in his hand, the black-haired and black-eyed young man walked quickly to the side of the debtor butler who was breathing slightly.
In the process, he opened the page of the "Lord God" ball of light.
Mu Xiu's gaze swept directly over the six personal attributes that had not changed, and finally stayed on the reward points and side plots.
Because of the need to save side plot impact advanced enhancements, there has been no new exchange enhancement recently, so even the reward points have been accumulated, and Mu Xiu's balance savings have exceeded 20,000 points.
And the side plots...... At present, it is exactly three C-level side plots, which together are equivalent to one B-level side plot.
Two of them were obtained during the Warring States Period, and one was just credited - because Mu Xiu had no reason to be inexplicably on the Santu River and Hongyi, and more because the "Lord God" issued a side quest for this event - as long as you successfully solve the Type A super natural disaster source this time, you will be able to get 3,600 reward points and a C-level side story.
And if you can successfully kill that little ghost in the Three Ways River, you will be rewarded with 7,200 reward points and a B-level side story.
It's just a pity that in the end, Santuhe and Hong, who were implanted with a killing stone and mastered some kind of high-level stand-in skills, easily escaped and failed to succeed in leaving each other. This made Mu Xiu feel a little disappointed, he had already seen the hope of directly saving up half of the requirements of the side plot, but in the end it was disappointed.
…… He hoped to get the "Lord God" currency needed for A-level enhancement as soon as possible.
It's just that after estimating the ability value shown by Santuhe, he felt that although the opponent's combat power was not enough, his ability to escape was probably first-class. Therefore, maybe it was not a special hope in the first place, so Mu Xiu did not complain about the idea of the debtor housekeeper.
Anyway, there is already a B-level side plot at present, and the progress has reached a third.
In addition, there is no shortage of reward points at all, and to some extent, it can be regarded as nearly half of the completion level...... At present, the only thing Mu Xiu cares about is whether to continue to strengthen his ability step by step, or continue to accumulate side plots to impact the real A-level strengthening.
As for the people in the countermeasure room opposite, he really didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, his mentality was very different from a month ago.
It's just that Mu Xiu was naturally distracted, and after solving this incident, he subconsciously wandered into the world.
But the debt steward maintained a stiff smile, he didn't understand what was going on now, it seemed that he was confused from passing by the park to being entangled by monsters, to the seriousness of the situation and the big fight......
Wait a minute! Those guys on the other side shouldn't be law enforcement officers! Get ready for a fine!
Probably because of the successive bad luck, and because the mission that came out this time was still not completed, so he was so confused and couldn't calm down, the housekeeper boy was vaguely aware of the feeling of "professional" emanating from everyone in the countermeasure room, and subconsciously associated with the "strip" breath.
Suddenly, his eyes began to be wrong.
How much does it cost to tear down a park? Shouldn't I be able to work until I turn 60 to pay off my debts?! - In an instant, the eyes of the debtor steward became hollow, and it felt as if a string had broken in his mind.
It's just that one of them is directly distracted and starts to think about other things, and the other is trying to maintain a stiff smile on the surface, and his mind is quickly thinking about how much compensation will be paid for destroying such a large park......
Therefore, in the eyes of others, these two guys are clearly calm and unhurried.
- It seems that they have arrogant confidence and an amazing grasp of their own strength, and the most troublesome thing is that according to what they saw not long ago, these two people really have the ability to absolutely control the scene.
Because they had never encountered anything like this, and there were no precedents or experiences to draw on, the exorcists had no idea what to do now, and could only clench their weapons and sweat oozed from their palms. - They couldn't even be sure if the two people on the other side were really normal, after all, no matter how you looked at it, that kind of strength, speed, and endurance were too inhuman.
This is the reason for their horror and confusion, and it is also the origin of the misunderstanding that is difficult to explain.
……
……
Most of the park has been completely destroyed, and the overturned ground and concrete fragments can be said to be everywhere, and the sound of "fountains" can be heard in all directions.
Street lamps, sculptures, vending machines and other facilities have either been blown away by crumbling or have been deformed and burst. The surrounding trees had already been uprooted and neatly lodging outward, and a raging fire was burning at the edge of the woods.
The thick black smoke was mixed with an unpleasant smell, and the white mist formed by the instantaneous evaporation of the water vapor gradually diffused, and everything that could be seen was a mess.
Even if you don't look at the twisted steel bars pointing to the sky, or the deep marks that seem to be ploughed on the ground after the train derails, just the fire burning around and the slashing lines crisscrossing the ground can make one imagine what a terrible battle this devastated battlefield has just passed.
After all, until now, there are still sparse evil spirits around that have no time to escape, dragging their broken limbs and slowly crawling on the ground.
Fortunately, after discovering that something was wrong, the traffic control in the area around the crime site was launched as soon as possible, and the government was not as slow as it was usual in dealing with evil spirits, so it avoided causing greater panic and losses. However, every time there is a super-natural disaster with a level of magnitude above Type B, it still means that the government needs to pay a considerable price for the aftermath and engineering recovery.
The cost here does not simply refer to economic losses, engineering quantities, etc., but also involves traffic control, information control, departmental coordination and other aspects of disputes, the most important thing is to consider choosing an appropriate "reason" or excuse to cover up the truth of the accident.
Because although the truth of the evil spirit cannot be made public, and if it is made public, it will cause a panic effect on the people, but the ordinary "reason for the accident" cannot be repeated many times, otherwise the people will still panic -
In three days, there was a gas leak, a gas pipeline exploded, a subway line failed, and a train collided...... In a city with various accidents of different sizes, who can live with peace of mind?!
It can be said that this is a large part of the reason why the government attaches so much importance to the sources of supernatural disasters and even adds such an organization as the Supernatural Disaster Planning Office to the Natural Environment Bureau.
Every time the evil spirit destroys the aftermath, the government needs to deal with the aftermath, but also every time it consumes the credibility of the government itself.
Of course, the members of the countermeasures room, which has only a semi-official background, are not government workers themselves, nor are they national food. To be precise, the exorcists took the lead in forming a special organization that received official funding and human and material assistance, and they were only employed by the countermeasures office and were not directly responsible to the Ministry of the Environment.
So they don't have to worry about how troublesome the follow-up treatment is, after all, those responsibilities don't fall on their heads.
It's just that the people in the countermeasures room who are fighting on the front line may have to face an even more difficult situation.
Well, for example, now—
“……”
“……”
In this messy, dilapidated battlefield, or the ruins of the park ten minutes ago, there are two people who are inexplicably caught in a state of confrontation.
One of them was numerous and had all kinds of weapons in his hands, and on the other side were two teenagers, who looked unarmed. But in fact, it was the less crowded side that took the initiative, and both of them looked calm and relaxed.
On the contrary, most of the people on the opposite side were tall and big men who looked very capable of fighting, and a few drops of cold sweat quietly broke out on their foreheads, as if they were facing a great enemy, they took a step back and raised the weapons in their hands to take a defensive posture.
No one can blame them for not having the courage to do so, and for not having the quality of being calm in battle, fearless in the face of danger, and not chaotic in the face of adversity, because this is only the most basic vigilance and instinct to try to deal with dangers and threats.
After all, anyone who sees a Class A super natural disaster is forcibly annihilated in front of their eyes, and the whole process takes less than five minutes, and the delay time before they and others arrive is about ten minutes, and it will become like this. The sum of his manpower and force value is not enough to plug the gap between his teeth.
- As professionals in the spiritual industry, Isayama Huangquan and the others all understand that this means that the combat power of the two people on the opposite side is completely enough to deal with the cataclysm of type A, or easily defeat a relatively prosperous exorcist family head-on.
Besides, although they only saw the last two or three minutes of the decisive scene because they came a little late, everyone knew very well what kind of monsters the two people on the other side were.
Yes, monsters.
There is no spiritual power on his body, no traces of any spell blessings, and no spiritual equipment. But the speed is as fast as lightning, the power is shocking, and the battle consciousness is unheard of...... Compared to the evil spirits, they themselves are more like demons, and subconsciously make Isayama Huangquan and the others feel that they have encountered future soldiers.
If it weren't for the aura attribute of the evil spirit train, or as strange and unpredictable as Yamahiko, I am afraid that anyone has the terrifying combat power to kill a Class B evil spirit alive in more than ten seconds......
Mu Xiu didn't have the ability to read minds, but if he knew that the people on the other side were thinking so, he would definitely be amazed.
- Ayasaki Sa is indeed dragging his feet this time, he could have done better, but it's a pity that he has no experience in fighting at the moment, but he doesn't have the awareness and determination to kill.
That is, he himself is unconscious, and subconsciously it is relatively much lighter.
