After declining the other party's invitation to have a drink and walking out of this singing and dancing place, Assistant Liu took a long breath, raised his head, and looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, feeling a little gloomy.
He vaguely felt that there seemed to be some danger over Neihe City. This feeling was not new to him today. He had felt this way since two days ago.
"Is something going to happen? Alas, it's a pity... It would be great if my cultivation talent were better. Then, if something really happened, I would be able to protect the children."
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, his cell phone rang. It was his boss's number. He answered the call. At first, he thought it was his boss asking him to do something, but slowly, his expression began to change.
Then he immediately started jogging towards the road in the distance. When he got to the roadside, he saw a car parked in front of the flower garden.
The back door of the car opened, and on the back seat was his boss's female secretary, "Assistant Liu, get in the car and talk."
When Assistant Liu got into the car, the driver stepped on the accelerator. Without waiting for him to ask, the female secretary said, "The boss has already left the Embarcadero City on a private plane."
"Well, I know that. The boss just called me." Assistant Liu nodded. A flash of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the female secretary beside him, and then she said without changing her tone, "The boss has received the news that there will be a new incident in Inland River City."
If there is a big change, it will lead to chaos.”
"What's going on?" Assistant Liu asked.
"I don't know what's going on. Anyway, the boss has arranged a plane for us. It will take off in three hours. You can take your children with us," the female secretary said.
"..." Assistant Liu was silent for a minute, and then said, "Send me to Neihe University."
Yes, Assistant Liu's three children are all studying at Neihe University. He immediately rushed to the school to find his children and take them out of here.
…
When Assistant Liu and the female secretary walked away, not long after their car had left, a plainclothes investigator wearing large sunglasses got out of the taxi, holding a sightseeing guide in his hand, and swaggered into the song and dance venue.
Entering the dance hall where Assistant Liu just collected the bill, the plainclothes investigator pretending to be a tourist stared directly at the ragged dancers on the stage, shouted loudly, and even clapped his hands when he saw the excitement. His exaggerated behavior attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone looked sideways.
"Hey, have you bought the tickets?" Several club members dressed as Shamate came over and said fiercely.
Seeing the fish take the bait, the plainclothes investigator said with a smile, "You must be the people from the club watching the scene here! Just in time, I am worried that I can't find the real owner! Call your supervisor over and tell me that I want to work with you behind the scenes.
Company boss talks.”
"Who are you?" Brother Matt, who was killed by several people, raised his nostrils and said.
The plainclothes investigator lowered his sunglasses, without any smile in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Don't waste your time with me."
After a while, in the quiet private room, the club members looked at the plainclothes investigators one by one without daring to take a breath.
"Mr. Investigator, let me smell it for you. Our boss is out of the country and we can't contact him now. Do you have any other instructions?" asked the embarrassed bald man.
The plainclothes investigator pondered for a moment and then said, "We at the Superpower Management Bureau need your cooperation in the past two days to close the business premises before three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Ah?" When the club members in the private room heard this, they were all stunned. Without waiting for them to ask, the plainclothes investigator took out a document from his pocket and handed it to them.
"This...Okay! We will do it." The bald man looked at the document. It said that he was going to practice the invasion of alien beasts. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only do it.

In Rongcheng, Huaguo, the weather is still hot at the end of August, with no cooling trend at all.
Although today is Saturday, it is a time for everyone to relax after working for several days. However, because the temperature outside is really not low, most people are staying at home and blowing on the air conditioner, hoping to wait for the sun to go down before going out to enjoy themselves.
In a private room of the "Yipin Teahouse" in the East District, Lin Fei and Xie Yurong, who were invited, were drinking tea and chatting.
"Lin Fei, you are the mysterious practitioner who killed the strange beasts in Hu Kingdom, right?" Xie Yurong put down the teacup in her hand and said straight to the point.
Lin Fei, who had just picked up a piece of pastry from the plate, paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "It's me. I happened to swim nearby during my morning swim yesterday. I saw a strange beast attacking humans, so I helped him."
Give them a try."
After speaking, he took a bite of the mung bean cake on his hand, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
When Xie Yurong heard Lin Fei's personal admission, she nodded and smiled. Regarding Lin Fei's morning swim in the sea thousands of kilometers away, she was only slightly surprised, and she didn't think it was any surprise.
It is not surprising for a practitioner who has the ability to fly and is not weak in cultivation to do such a thing.
Among the colleagues she knew, there was a third-level peak colleague who liked to take a plane to the beach every weekend, and then use his own special powers to start at a depth of one thousand meters every time.
After finishing the pastry in his hand, Lin Fei asked, "Director Xie, I have also read yesterday's news. The strange beasts that appear one after another to attack the city should come from the spirit world. Such problems occur because of the guards at the world passage.
Is there something wrong with the team?"
Xie Yurong shook her head and said, "I attended the online meeting of the General Administration last night. Director Bai told us that all the six world passages on Blue Star are safe and there are no mistakes."
"That's weird, then how did these strange beasts come to Blue Star?" Lin Fei muttered, then reached out and picked up a piece of mung bean cake from the plate.
"The Blue Star Alliance has sent an expert team to investigate the places where strange beasts appear. I believe there will be results soon," Xie Yurong said.
"Well," Lin Fei nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then asked casually, "Is it possible that strange beasts from the spiritual world will suddenly appear in our Banyan City in the future?"
"I think this is a possibility. We have to wait for the investigation results to come out before we can make a conclusion on the specific situation.
What we can do now is to place more warning weapons in the city, and if there is an invasion of spiritual beasts, we will immediately eliminate them." Xie Yurong said.
It seems that I can't run around during this period, otherwise if a strange beast suddenly appears in Rongcheng one day and happens to attack the Ping'an Garden Community, then I won't be able to rescue him in time... Lin Fei muttered secretly in his heart.
"Beep bell bell..."
Xie Yurong's phone rang, and Lin Fei frowned slightly when he saw that she didn't chat for a few words after answering the call.
After she hung up the phone, Lin Fei asked, "What happened?"
Xie Yurong did not hide anything and said bluntly, "It's something about the South Vietnam country. It's said that a group of spiritual beasts appeared in the sea outside the river city.
Their General Administration of Supernatural Powers was worried that the other party would become as large as the group of strange beasts that appeared in the United States, so they sought support from our country."
"Are you going to go to South Vietnam to provide support?" Lin Fei said in surprise.
"That's not true. It's Dian City that needs to go to support. If the matter is very serious, Yacheng and Guicheng will follow up. After all, these two places are relatively close to South Vietnam." Xie Yurong said.
"Oh." Lin Fei looked at the tea in the teacup and said, "These spiritual beasts are too arrogant! They are attacking us one after another."
"There is nothing we can do about it. Now that the enemy is dark and we are clear, we can only defend passively." Xie Yurong said, then stood up and said goodbye to Lin Fei, "I have to go back to the bureau to arrange things. Let's talk when we have time."
"Okay, let's go slowly." Lin Fei stood up to see him off. After Xie Yurong left the teahouse, he returned to the private room and sat quietly drinking tea and eating cakes by himself.
Half an hour later, an indifferent voice sounded in the quiet tea room.
"Although I don't know what method you used to appear directly on the Blue Star without going through the world channel. This is quite troublesome, but don't be complacent..."
…………
At around 5 o'clock in the evening, we were on the waters of South Vietnam.
A group of second-order alien beasts from the spirit world were wiped out by local investigators. While the combatants were cleaning the battlefield, they also breathed a sigh of relief because this battle was really much easier than the battle that took place in the United States yesterday.
Already.
The Inland River City, almost hundreds of kilometers away from where the battle took place, was still peaceful.
The tide surging in the darkness has not yet affected ordinary people. For most people, it is still a peaceful day.
When it was time to get off work, the migrant workers who had worked overtime on weekends walked out of the office building in groups or alone and walked towards the familiar bar.
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"The government department is very strange today. It seems like something is going to happen. The firefighting engineering vehicles on the road are much more diligent than usual."
"Yes, I heard that air raid shelters in several districts have been opened, and the airport has suspended all flights tonight due to the weather."
"Who knows! Maybe a strange beast is coming to attack the river city!" Someone joked without caring much.
In the past year, attacks by alien beasts around the world are no longer news, but most people have never experienced them personally.
Moreover, the places where alien beasts attack occur are all small towns. In a big city like Neihe City, no one thinks that alien beasts can rush into the city.
"Hey, Boss Li, isn't the bar open today?" A few people were talking and saw a "Closed" sign hanging at the door of the bar.
Inside the door, they could see the figure of the bar owner.
Upon hearing the greetings from the guests, the bar owner said apologetically, "At noon, the government issued a notice to temporarily close my bar for two days. I will not entertain you for these few days."
"Okay." Several regular customers turned around and left without asking any questions.
The bar owner watched them leave, took off his work clothes, put on a white T-shirt, then locked the door carefully and drove back to the countryside to see his parents.
…
"Boom..." Turning the key and feeling the vibration of the car body along with the engine, Li Shicao flipped a switch and hot air blew out, rolling his long hair.
She turned the rearview mirror in the car, and her appearance was reflected in the mirror, and she sighed softly.
I wanted to buy a plane ticket right away and take my grandparents to China for medical treatment, but I was told that the airport was grounded for the next two days, which made Li Shicao feel a little uncomfortable.
Honking the horn, the car started slowly and drove towards the dim city.
…
In Huaguo Rongcheng, Xing'an Garden Community, Zhou Yue leaned on the sofa boredly. The house was empty, except for the sound of the TV, there was no other sound.
Wang Xiaoru, who returned to her hometown, would have to wait until tomorrow to come back. It was too troublesome to cook at home alone. She originally thought of asking Lin Fei to go out to eat together, but the WeChat message she sent fell into disarray.
Outside the window, under the night, the entire Banyan City lit up, flashing with neon lights, colorful, and giving off a different kind of beauty.
The temperature of the indoor air conditioner was set a bit low. Zhou Yue, who was wearing a black suspender nightgown, felt a little cold. She bent her slender legs and curled up into a ball, mumbling at the same time.
"Where did this guy Lin Fei go to play again? He didn't take me with him when he went out... Next time I... I won't take him with me either."
…………
In the Inland River City of South Vietnam, the country's Superpower Management Bureau is located in the center of the city, in a newly built tower-like building located in the east area of the Inland River City.
The tower-like building has a triangular spire, which is entirely gray in color, with a lightning rod-like object placed on the top.
This tower-like building is the warning tower installed by the local psychic research institute. It has the ability to detect fluctuations in psychic energy within the city and provide early warning for the invasion of alien beasts.
At this moment, the fort-like equipment on the top of the building is all lit up and running. The satellite is actually monitoring the ground and transmitting data back.
Inside, the atmosphere in the combat headquarters was depressing, and rapid and powerful footsteps could be heard in the hall at any time.
Intelligence agents in civilian uniforms holding folders came and went, and the air was filled with computer fans, typing on keyboards, human voices, and elevator bells.
"All local departments have been notified and will take action in batches. The relevant news publicity will start in 7 minutes. At that time, the entire Embarcadero City's TV broadcasts will read out this super warning.
Investigators have arrived in the suburbs and have taken control of key transportation nodes. Ports and airports have been shut down, and the railway department is under great pressure."
Several clerks each held documents and made reports, and in the center of the crowd was the commander-in-chief who was in charge of the river city.
"We have detected the psychic energy fluctuations of alien beasts on the outskirts of the eastern district of Neihe City, but the intensity is not high and only has the strength of the first stage of the second stage.
There are not many in number, there are five in total, they do not pose a threat to us... In comparison, what is more terrible is this." An intelligence agent turned over the screen in his hand with a solemn expression and said.
"Just now, on the outskirts of our northern district, close to the city, two third-stage, first-stage alien beasts from the spirit world suddenly appeared."
After the intelligence officer finished his report, the surroundings fell into silence for a short time.
"Is this news accurate?" the frowning commander-in-chief stood up and asked.
"It was reported by the investigators at the front. Just now, they are fighting with it now." The intelligence officer said in a deep voice.
