The days are short and the nights are long in winter. It is already dark in Yancheng before five o'clock. There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. After all, few people like to run around outside in the winter.
After arriving near the Pingan Hotel, we chose to split into two groups to avoid alerting others by being too conspicuous.
Ye Yuyou and I naturally belong to the Li Yuxin group. At this moment, we are drinking in a tavern a few hundred meters away from the Ping An Hotel. However, although we are drinking, our eyes are actually staring in the direction of the Ping An Hotel.
At this time, there are many young men and women gathering in the store. This kind of tavern with resident singers is a favorite among young people. As far as I know, this is a university town nearby, so it can be said that it is everywhere.
Young college student.
The resident singer is a fat man in his thirties, who is singing a ballad. He is quite emotional in this dimly lit environment. The young college students below are chatting quietly in small groups.
The atmosphere is quite refreshing.
However, who could have imagined that opposite such a place full of youthful vigor, a gathering organized by the Yancheng Soul Sect would be held soon. Just thinking about it makes people feel creepy. If something really happened, I am afraid that the surrounding people would be
Dozens of university towns were the first to suffer.
At that time, when the Lu Bureau was encircling and suppressing the crows, it was due to insufficient preparation that the crows used the safety of the surrounding people as a bargaining chip. In this regard, the two early two-star leaders of the Lu Bureau had nothing to do and could only watch the crows leave freely.
"I heard that Wu Wu threatened that if he didn't let him leave, he would massacre the city and die with the innocent people in Yancheng." Li Yuxin whispered to us: "If he hadn't taken into account the safety of the people in the surrounding urban areas, Wu Wu would have let Bureau Lu do it.
Once the arrest is made, it’s not our turn to take action.”
This time we communicated directly face to face and did not use mental power, a communication method that would easily attract the attention of nearby practitioners.
"So arrogant?"
Hearing this, I frowned, and anger surged in my heart. I gritted my teeth and said, "Isn't he a human being, so he can be so cruel?"
"These ghost slaves have done all kinds of bad things for the sake of power, and the top management among them are even more evil. There have been incidents in the past where a large number of unrelated people were injured or killed during the arrest process."
When talking about this matter, Li Yuxin also had a trace of anger on her face, saying: "So in order to avoid this kind of thing happening, if we want to arrest the ghost slaves, we often have to send stronger forces.
, otherwise accidents may easily occur.”
"Either one of us has a higher goal than the ghost slave, and his strength far exceeds that of the other party, or we have to win in numbers, otherwise it will be almost impossible to apprehend him."
"After all, we have to consider the safety of the people, but the ghost slaves don't. The Lu Bureau also suffered this loss when they encircled and suppressed the crows. Otherwise, the two leading two-star early stage cultivators would not have been able to kill the crows."
After listening to Li Yuxin's words, I nodded slightly. It seems that there are many things to consider in this kind of arrest work, otherwise a slight mistake will lead to disaster.
No wonder Su Chenyang would find Li Yuxin. If the master of the palace showed up, he alone would not be able to arrest him.
"Once something happens to the people, we will not be able to explain to the emperor, let alone the people, and we will also be punished for it, ranging from being restricted from accepting tasks to being sentenced to jail at worst." Li Yuxin reminded: "In short, we are performing our tasks.
Before, the first priority was the safety of the people, and then the ability to complete the mission."
"As it should be."
I nodded. As a member of the Imperial Bureau, I should put the safety of the people first. Otherwise, what mission would I be performing? Why would I still be in the Imperial Bureau?
While we were communicating, it was getting late and getting closer to eight o'clock, but for the people of Yancheng, the nightlife had just begun.
"There are no people entering the Ping An Hotel. Is the information wrong, or is the hotel booked by the Soul Cult?"
Looking at the Ping An Hotel opposite, I felt a little bored. Although people were coming and going at the door of the hotel, it had been almost two hours and no one had gone in.
"It seems strange that no one has come in, isn't it? Maybe it's as you said, the hotel is under the control of the Soul Cult, or there is something wrong with the restaurant to begin with." Li Yuxin said.
"Well, just wait a little longer..."
I nodded and focused my eyes on the yogurt wine in front of me. I couldn't keep looking in the direction of the Ping An Hotel. It would seem too targeted and might be discovered by the lurking Soul Cult people.
"Have you heard that there was an explosion in our Yancheng a few days ago? Not a single factory was destroyed. I don't know what happened and how many people died..." At this moment, a message came to my ears.
The whispers and the contents attracted my attention, and I saw a boy in his twenties talking to several of his classmates with a mysterious look on his face.
"I've also heard about that. My friend near the factory said that the explosion at night woke him up." Another boy wearing glasses responded: "The official statement is that there was an explosion of chemicals in the factory.
, it is said that there were no casualties, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.”
"Who knows, something has always happened recently, and many things have not been reported in the news. Some things I heard from my friends." One of the girls said mysteriously: "Saskatchewan knows... Saskatchewan."
There was also an explosion in Shacheng, the provincial capital, a few days ago. The news was so big that many people in Shacheng knew about it..."
"Hey, I've heard about this too, but we don't know what the specific situation is..."
Seeing these men and women talking excitedly about these topics, I couldn't help but frown. What they said were all real things. If nothing else, it was the Lu Bureau's siege and suppression of the deputy master of the Nether Palace, Crow, and the Sha Bureau's siege and suppression.
It’s about the Bloody Roman Gate
It turns out that things in the cultivation world are already so close to the public?
Think about it, incidents have occurred frequently in recent years. Not only are ghost masters’ actions getting bigger and bigger, but the threat of resentful spirits is also gradually approaching. In this era of Internet information explosion, it is simply too difficult to suppress these news.
Perhaps, in the not-too-distant future, the cultivation world will no longer be able to hide it. How will we solve these problems by then? Will the public accept these news that sound like fantasy? Where will the cultivation world go?
Just when I looked worried and worried about how I would face these things in the future, I heard Ye Yuyou next to me say in a somewhat excited tone: "Here we come!"
