Chapter 593: Fallen Embers



On a distant building in Luminous Dew District, Bureau Chief Lei looked at the ritual pattern beneath him that had completely extinguished and turned to ashes. He also looked into the distance, where wisps of white smoke rose from the twelve high-rise buildings with ritual arrangements.

A subordinate said admiringly, "Fortunately, Bureau Chief Lei instructed us to reinforce the ritual beforehand and set up so many auxiliary rituals to cooperate outside, otherwise we might not have been able to withstand it."

"Yes, yes." Some Secret Cult Bureau members next to him also nodded.

Because they were initially only meant to capture Active Consciousness Entities, they theoretically didn't need so many materials. However, Bureau Chief Lei insisted on it, so they had no choice but to do so. Yet, many people still disapproved and even wanted to laugh at him behind his back.

Bureau Chief Lei had not been in office for long and had not yet gained the support of the people. Honestly, this move was somewhat risky. If it proved useless, his prestige would definitely be greatly diminished.

But he proved that his approach was correct with facts and was far ahead of everyone else. Now, he has made everyone sincerely admire him.

Bureau Chief Lei said, "Without Director Qian's strong support, I couldn't have done this. And…" he looked towards the collapsed Ferris Wheel, "without that one, this matter wouldn't have been so easy to get through."

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

They also saw the final blow. Such a large Ferris Wheel was split open. This was a landmark over two hundred meters high. It was hard to imagine that it was done by human power. No wonder Bureau Chief Lei was so confident this time. Judging from his tone, Bureau Chief Lei knew him. It seemed that this one had strong support elsewhere and was not so simple.

The subordinate hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Bureau Chief Lei, what about the Ferris Wheel Corporation?"

They also had credit this time. The follow-up processing of the Ferris Wheel Corporation also involved departmental interests. They couldn't just give it up like that.

Bureau Chief Lei waved his hand and said, "This requires Director Qian to come forward. I am not suitable."

Everyone suddenly understood: "Yes!"

Director Qian was the official director and was best at asking for funding. It was most appropriate to leave this kind of thing to Director Qian.

However, they all heard that Bureau Chief Lei had come to replace Director Qian. Presumably, after this incident, the handover would be official, right?

Outside a warehouse in Ocean Abundance District, an armed vehicle stopped. After the car door opened, Commissioner Cao walked out. The guard in front of the door opened the door for him and said, "Commissioner Cao, please come in. Mr. Chu is inside."

Commissioner Cao walked in with two subordinates. In the middle of the extremely large warehouse, Mr. Chu was standing there. After the people walked over, he said with a serious expression, "Commissioner Cao, you are late."

Commissioner Cao looked at the few people standing behind him and said, "Unfamiliar faces. What's wrong? Old Chu, did you change people?"

Mr. Chu ignored him and only said, "Did you bring the plan?"

Commissioner Cao stretched out his hand, and the subordinate behind him immediately took out something from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to him. He took it and handed it forward.

Mr. Chu took it and looked at it. Then his expression suddenly tightened, and he raised his head and said, "Multi-department joint plan, why didn't you report it in time?"

Commissioner Cao slowly said, "The information was interrupted. I didn't know where you were, Old Chu. I did look for you, but your people were gone at that time. I couldn't let this plan be shelved, so I could only choose to execute it first."

Mr. Chu looked at him. At that time, he was planning to deal with Chen Bitong to prevent the General Affairs Bureau from intervening, so he cut off communications. But he knew that if Commissioner Cao really wanted to find him, it was impossible not to find him.

He said in a deep voice, "Your plan is too dangerous. If it is not successful in the end, it will definitely be countered by the Municipal Council. The situation in Central City will fall into an unpredictable situation. The committee believes it is not feasible and you must stop it immediately!"

Commissioner Cao said, "The committee can stop the General Affairs Bureau, but it cannot stop other departments, and…" he looked at Mr. Chu , "I'm afraid it's too late now."

Just as Mr. Chu was about to say something, a huge light suddenly came from outside. Even though they were hiding in this modified warehouse, they could still feel it from the open skylight.

At the same time, a reminder sound appeared on the Boundary Tokens of both of them. Both of them immediately reached out and put their hands on the Boundary Tokens, listening to the report coming from inside.

After Commissioner Cao finished listening, he glanced at him and said, "Project Horizon is completed." After a pause, he said, "Old Chu, take your time to review it. I still have things to do, so I won't stay any longer."

After hearing the news, Mr. Chu "s expression sank. The plan was completed, so what was the point of reviewing it? He watched Commissioner Cao walk out. After a while, he picked up the form again, and his eyes finally fell on the recommendation executor column.

"Processing Bureau Execution Captain, Chen Chuan ."

Inside the command center, Commissioner Liang was listening to reports from various districts. Just now, most of his attention was focused on the Ferris Wheel Corporation, and he couldn't fully take care of other places.

But it was okay. Because most of the mercenaries and the Company's strength had been consumed before, it was not as difficult to deal with as before.

Not to mention that now that the threat of the Ferris Wheel was gone, those emergency troops that had been placed in Luminous Dew District could be dispersed to other places to deal with problems, and the strength in his hands had become abundant.

After reading and replying to the reports from various regions, he pressed the ends of his nose, took out a pill from his pocket and took it, and reinvigorated his spirit.

At this moment, a liaison officer ran up to him and reported:

"Commissioner, the Sea Dragon Company sent a report. About ten minutes ago, they sank a submarine in the offshore area. It is suspected that it came out of the Ferris Wheel building. They sent modified creatures to check it and found that in addition to armed personnel , they also found some people suspected to be from the Ferris Wheel Corporation, but they should have died before the submarine was sunk."

Commissioner Liang immediately took the report and looked at it. He thought about it. Judging from the previous analysis from the Watchtower , that existence was likely attached to a director of the Ferris Wheel Corporation. In this case, these people were likely killed by this existence.

He turned to the female assistant next to him and said, "Immediately send someone to take over and keep these evidences safe." The female assistant immediately said: "I'll go now."

Commissioner Liang "s expression was more relaxed than before, and he patted the report again. If he had these things in hand, then he would have another reason to eliminate the Ferris Wheel, that is, the Ferris Wheel colluded with the existence of the outer world.

Originally, if he was just dealing with the Ferris Wheel, the Council might have to compromise and appease them a little, but now that he had this handle in hand, no one could argue any more.

Because in today's big situation, resisting and eliminating the existence on the opposite side is absolutely the right behavior, even if you really colluded, you can't put it on the bright side.

Before the Ferris Wheel Building, Chen Chuan walked out of the big pit step by step with a knife. At this time, some subtle and scattered arcs of light were still jumping on his body. This was brought about by traveling through the Fissure.

This time through the Fissure, he seemed to have caught a clue while using the Flying Dragon Fist...

The sound of propeller blades came from above his head. He looked up and saw several airships flying over his head and flying towards the Sea surface. And at this time, the red shadow on his body slowly drifted outward.

He turned to look at the direction where the red shadow drifted away and nodded to that direction.

When he finally fell, he originally planned to use Second Self to bear the harm of the fall impact, but Hong Fu "s strength blocked these for him.

At this time, he looked up and saw armed personnel carrying weapons walking out of the broken entrance of the Building, about ten people, and the one leading the way was none other than the Ferris Wheel Corporation Security guard supervisor Guan Shangjing .

Under the impact of Wu Qi "s Spiritual Power just now, even if these people hid in rooms with cover, they were still inevitably impacted. Those with insufficient strength died on the spot. Only these few people with relatively good strength were still alive. At this moment, when they saw Chen Chuan , they also became nervous and raised the weapons in their hands.

Chen Chuan stared at a few people. He could clearly feel from the energy field that there was some kind of contamination in these people's bodies. They shouldn't live long.

This should be caused by that existence coming out.

Because of the opening of the Heavenly Gate, there was no cover above. Even Third-Limit Martial Artist , if he did not have a certain amount of Spiritual Power, he could not resist the invasion and penetration from it at close range.

Guan Shangjing glanced at the already collapsed Ferris Wheel at this moment, and the exposed wreckage in the distant sea, his heart sank. Just as he was about to walk there, his throat suddenly itched, and he couldn't help coughing rapidly.

He wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, but found that he had coughed up a lot of black blood, and there seemed to be countless tiny and indistinguishable small black insects inside.

One of the people around him suddenly dropped the hand holding the weapon on the ground. The broken part was pitch black, as if there was no flesh and blood there. Some fell straight to the ground, their bodies inexplicably broken into several pieces, and some were even more exaggerated. It seemed that he just wanted to outflank Chen Chuan , and walked a little faster, and his head fell directly from his body.

More of these people were directly petrified there after only a few steps, looking like sculptures with different poses.

Guan Shangjing "s breathing became rapid. He felt that his Chest was getting more and more stuffy, and his limbs were gradually becoming weak.

If he could observe himself at this moment, he should be able to find that black blood was overflowing from his eye sockets, and black insects were also coming in and out there.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the dense sound of military boots approaching in the distance on the square, knowing that the large troops were coming up. He glanced at Chen Chuan again, and with a clang, he pulled out his saber.

But he did not rush forward, but knelt down facing the sea, pointed the knife at his neck, and then slashed hard. As a stream of black blood shot out, his head slowly drooped down.

Chen Chuan glanced at him, and then at the dilapidated Ferris Wheel Corporation Building. After the Ferris Wheel fell, only this building stood there alone. Now it was covered by the fluttering gray snowflakes, like a broken monument. As the sea breeze surged, the gray dust flew towards the surging sea tide in the distance.
