235: Chapter 216: Deadlock 235: Chapter 216: Deadlock The ancient city, a not-so-small second-tier city, has already fallen into catastrophe. This was an unstoppable supernatural disaster, and a large number of high-risk sealed-off areas had appeared within the city. Although every new contaminated point was blocked in time by the well-prepared Special Service Team, the current losses were amazingly small (compared to other incidents), but it was enough for many sensitive individuals to make decisions. At this moment, on the highway leading out of the city, there were already a large number of cars piling up. However, the huge convoy moved slowly, and the word “turtle speed” was not enough to describe it. A few dozen minutes ago, it had completely stalled. The reason? Everybody saw it. The collapsed main bridge in front was the cause. At the same time, several “serious traffic accidents” had occurred on the main roads out of the city. The estimated cleanup time required at least several hours… but by then, it would be too late. “What is this, why has it spread so far…” At the city’s border, a thin layer of film had faintly appeared. When it first appeared, everyone ignored it. It was like an invisible wall of air, staying right there, only making the “colors” of the two sides of the world slightly different. But as time went on, it became thicker, more noticeable, and finally… “Why can’t I get out…” “This wall is blocking us? We can’t get out anymore!” The bizarre endless wall became more and more obvious, its strength growing higher and higher. At some point, ordinary people and vehicles were unable to enter or exit. “How did he get out?” Among the crowd, the few sneaky figures who slipped out caught a lot of attention. There were special agents on duty who went to ask questions. The result was that they accidentally… got out too! When this city and its residents became a “sacrificial land” and the drawn circle started blocking all escapees, this obstruction was ultimately just a supernatural force, and professionals could naturally have stronger resistance. Now, having slightly abnormal or professional abilities was enough to cross the barrier easily, but as time went on, the requirements would naturally grow higher. In a way, this had been the situation for many years now. In the face of various disasters and troubles, supernatural ability users and professionals had stronger resistance and survival rates. Naturally, the witnesses and sufferers of disasters would crave this power… and more supernatural beings and Exotic Realm contacts create more disasters. The infinite spiral of disaster unfolds, and the whole world is gradually sliding into the abyss. But before that, this city was already facing its greatest crisis… “The Ascension Ceremony has already begun, and the city is starting to become ‘sacred’. This land will become part of the newborn ‘Divine Kingdom’, and the life here will become part of the newborn True Gods.” Even deities cannot create something out of nothing. Their perfect Divine Kingdom and powerful “body” need sufficient support… They are very hungry now. The one revealing all these truths was the former ceremony performer, the big cat, who was now watching the unfolding disaster with mixed emotions. In a sense, her “illusion” had already surpassed her. She hadn’t yet reached this point when Lu Ping’an had suddenly burst in and sent her back home. At this moment, Lu Ping’an was quickly moving through the crowd, looking for his target. “Who blew up the bridge?” If the bridge and main roads hadn’t been destroyed, many people would have already left by now. “The original plan was for me to do it, but I didn’t have time. So it should have been Long Qianlan.” Fang Wen was quite honest. At this moment, with her mind in turmoil, she was very cooperative. “What do we do now?” Although asking such a question seemed weak and foolish, Fang Wen couldn’t help but ask. Originally, she wanted to go to the new ceremony site, but Lu Ping’an asked her one sentence that stopped her cold. “What are you in such a hurry for? Are you in a hurry to become a sacrifice?” After a stunned pause, she realized this might very well be the truth. If the “God” was truly being controlled by the Sophist, and that being had already surpassed the sixth-tier, going there would only mean becoming a sacrifice… That being wouldn’t care if you were a believer of the Mother Goddess cult or not. Moreover, in many cases, the rules of the Secret Realm are unreasonable. As long as they comply with the rules, everything goes, and even the controller himself has to abide by them. When it’s your time to die, you’ll die. Stepping into a wild secret realm without any information or support, especially a Rule-level Secret Realm, is almost suicidal… This is common sense for professionals. A series of blows had shaken Fang Wen’s confidence, who had always considered herself extremely clever. Now she wanted Lu Ping’an’s advice again. “Our goal? Kill people…” Lu Ping’an said straightforwardly. That was Lu Ping’an’s current goal—to eliminate the still-troublesome Mother Goddess believers and eliminate the root cause of everything spinning out of control. “Kill who? Long Qianlan?” Fang Wen hesitated. If she set her sights on him, their power would be somewhat lacking. “Dragon Yuhe,” another name came out of Lu Ping’an’s mouth. “Is it necessary? Isn’t she just a lamb to the slaughter?” Fang Wen could not understand. Is it necessary to be so anxious to eliminate someone who has been left behind in the game? “Now she is, maybe not later…” Lu Ping’an glanced into the distance. That strike was too conspicuous, and Nine Plates Mountain had probably become history by now. But at this point, the Sixth-tier contenders should have come to their senses… If they are not stupid, they should start clearing the field now! As long as all competitors are eliminated, the fruit of victory will naturally be theirs. This is a simple and direct line of thought. But because they are powerful enough, this straightforward approach with no technical content is actually the most difficult to resist… To monopolize the resources on a piece of land, all they have to do is kill the natives. Dragon Yuhe is the “gift” they chose to cooperate with when they set aside their prejudices. As long as Dragon Yuhe returns to her brother, they will gain a powerful combatant. Lu Ping’an’s strategy is simple and practical: do as much as you can with the power you have. At this time, eliminating Dragon Yuhe is the best choice, and there may even be a chance to create a situation that could lead to the Sixth-tier’s further disintegration. After that incident, Dragon Yuhe was jointly detained by the Special Service Team and Preist Liu’s people… This was a face-saving measure for the local Special Service Team. The real outcome is that Dragon Yuhe is kept in a hotel where the staff of the Church of the Lady of the Forest are stationed, with two special agents following her. There is no choice; the one with the bigger fist has the final say. In the end, the Special Service Team lost. Lu Ping’an’s current route is the hotel they stayed in according to the information, but he is also worried about whether the other party had relocated. Once the other party joins forces with those Sixth-tier big shots, their actions may naturally come to an end. “Find Dragon Yuhe? I have a way,” Fang Wen suddenly spoke up. Lu Ping’an gave her a sideways glance, with an obvious message—”Why didn’t you say so sooner?” “…..When she was maintaining her boot armor, I intentionally sold her the parts. If activated now, it can send a signal for a short time, but they should quickly discover it.” Well, as a devoted believer of the Mother Goddess, she’s unreliable in most things, but she excels in internal strife. “Activate it.” ———- ———- “…Alright, I’ll bring her out. Oh, Preist Liu, if those people try to stop us… Good, I understand.” Gao Changpeng, a member of the Church of the Lady of the Forest who had met Lu Ping’an before, the “Big Fatty,” hung up the phone, patted his big belly, and looked at the “can” on the table. The bound half-human form inside was still regenerating stubbornly. Her head still had a muzzle, the trace of ropes on her shoulder… And as Gao Changpeng looked at her, she glared back at him fiercely. As a “modified human,” not only is Dragon Yuhe alive, but she’s also doing quite well. Gao looked again through the neighboring room, where two members of the Special Service Team should be resting… Even at this moment, the Special Service Team hasn’t given up monitoring him. With that in mind, he quietly left the room. “Ahhh!” After a brief scream, he returned, throwing two severed heads on the table. “The situation has changed. Now, we’re on the same side. I’m going to release your bonds, don’t resist. I’ll take you to see your brother…”
