Rooftop.
Chen Chu looked at the tall figure with his back to him and was silent for a moment before walking over.
Tang Tianyuan waited for Chen Chu to approach and asked, "Have you seen Lan Yue?"
Chen Chu: “Yeah.”
When talking about his daughter, Tang Tianyuan finally smiled: "Why don't I see her? Where did she go?"
Chen Chu: “Not sure.”
Tang Tianyuan turned around abruptly and looked directly at Chen Chu: "Over the years, you and Lan Yue have become estranged."
The tone was neither heavy nor light, but it sounded like a reminder. Chen Chu's eyes moved slightly. Tang Tianyuan's tone reminded him of his childhood, and the first time he met Tang Lanyue: "This is my daughter Lanyue. From now on, you two will go to school and practice together. Chen Chu, you must protect her for the teacher, especially in the subspace."
Chen Chu knew that Tang Tianyuan's words at this time were actually a reminder to him that he had not fulfilled his responsibility to protect Tang Lanyue.
Seeing Chen Chu remained silent, Tang Tianyuan teased, "Over the years, for your sake, Lan Yue has been collecting items from the Soul Locking Tower. As a result, those who entered the Soul Locking Tower and were cursed came directly to the White Tiger Group to find items to remove the curse."
Chen Chu did not remain silent any longer. He looked up at Tang Tianyuan and said, "Team Leader Tang, you know where my curse came from."
Tang Tianyuan's eyes, which had just been full of tenderness, suddenly turned fierce: "But hasn't your curse been lifted?"
Chen Chu's expression changed.
Tang Tianyuan: "I wonder why I know this? Although you told the Privy Council that you have never been to the seventh floor, from what I know about you, since you went in, you would definitely want to break the curse. Moreover, I have investigated all the psychics who went into the Soul Locking Tower when it collapsed. If it wasn't you, could it be Xie Xingyu from your group, or Lin Yan?"
Chen Chu clenched his fists slightly and said in a deep voice: "Even if my curse has been lifted, I will not return to the White Tiger Group."
Tang Tianyuan curled his lips slightly, revealing an expected smile: "Sure enough, it has been solved. I knew that the high priest on the seventh floor would not kill you."
Chen Chu pursed his lips and did not refute. He could not refute. If he refuted, Tang Tianyuan's attention would fall on Lin Yan.
Tang Tianyuan looked at Chen Chu and said, "You don't have to worry about the Soul Locking Tower. Jiamu transferred the death curse to you not because he really wanted to kill you. I once told him that you might not die in the Soul Locking Tower."
Chen Chu's pupils shrank slightly.
Tang Tianyuan saw that it was almost over, so he stopped talking about the past and got to the point: "This time, your Jinshi Group 6 stopped Lan Yan's terrorist actions. You did a good job. The headquarters will reward you according to your merits. Especially that Lin Yan..."
When Chen Chu heard him mention Lin Xi, he tightened his clenched fists, but his face remained calm.
"I didn't expect that she was the space person who crawled into the Blue Flame F Country headquarters from the TV to save people." During the terrorist operation last night, Lin Yan was wearing Sadako's wig the whole time, and she went into the TV to drag Chen Chu back from the border. So many members of the law enforcement team saw it at the time, and it was impossible to hide it, so the headquarters also knew Lin Yan's identity. "Assistant Tan said that Lin Yan's space ability is quite special. She can only travel through space through the TV, and she doesn't have any offensive abilities. Is that true?"
Chen Chu said calmly, "Lin Yan will be here soon, you can go and see for yourself."
Tang Tianyuan nodded: "I will. However, if it is just a single space travel, this ability will not be of much use. The reason why we were able to successfully rescue the hostages last time was just because we caught them by surprise. If you want to replicate it again, I'm afraid there will be no chance."
Although Sadako's ability to travel through time is strong, it is not difficult to stop her. The simplest way is to move the TV away. As long as there is no TV, even if there is no barrier, Sadako's ability cannot be exerted. In comparison, this conditional travel is not as good as the general space travel ability in most cases.
Tang Tianyuan: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I came here to get the geography map."
When Chen Chu saw Tang Tianyuan finally mentioned the handover, he took out a yellowish-brown scroll from his storage item without hesitation and handed it over: "This is the geography map."
Tang Tianyuan took it, unfolded it, and looked at it curiously for a while: "Legend has it that the earth vein map shows the earth vein trend of the area it absorbs, why is it not here?"
Chen Chu shook his head: "I don't know, it was like this when I brought it."
Tang Tianyuan frowned slightly: "I can faintly sense an unusual energy, and a hint of dangerous aura, I think it should be right."
Tang Tianyuan said this as he put the geomagnetic map into his storage item, intending to take it back to headquarters for further study.
Seeing this, Chen Chu took out the Staff of the Dead from his storage items and said, "This is the staff left behind by the necromancer who was killed. There is no necromancer in our group. Let's hand it over to the headquarters together."
Tang Tianyuan took it and put it into the storage item.
In the ward downstairs, Yun Zhou entered the ward accompanied by the law enforcement team. He glanced around, paused at the window, and then looked at the half-paralyzed Aquaman at the door.
"Paralyzed?" Yun Zhou asked about Neptune's condition.
"Deaf." Qingkong explained, "Paralysis is caused by the soul."
Yun Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he understood what the other party meant and looked at the half-paralyzed Sea King with a little pity: "I will do my best to treat him."
After I said that, I remembered that the other person was deaf and probably couldn't hear me.
Hai Wang couldn't hear, but his eyes were very clear. He noticed the sympathy in Yun Zhou's eyes and asked nervously in the group: "Why did the headquarters send such a young child here? Also, what did he say just now? The look in his eyes when he looked at me was full of pity and sympathy. My ears can't be cured, right?"
Qingkong looked at Yunzhou and asked, "Is the ear difficult to cure?"
Yun Zhou was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, I just read the medical records. The problem with his ears is not serious. Even if I don't treat him, his hearing will gradually recover in two or three days at most."
Because wood-type mutants are natural healers, they also know some medical skills. As the heir of the Yun family, Yun Zhou has been receiving training in this area since he was a child, so he can also understand some medical records.
The King of Pollution also had a solid foundation in medicine, but he gave it up after awakening his curse master's ability.
Qingkong told Haiwang in the group: [There is nothing wrong with my ears.]
The Sea King heaved a sigh of relief: [That's good. By the way, why did the Dirty King pretend to sleep? He didn't want to appear sicker so that the Wood Psychic could treat him first. What a scheme!]
Qingkong Wuyu: [The child in front of you is called Yunzhou.]
Aquaman blinked, then blinked again, then turned to the child standing in front of his bed and read the medical records and took the initiative to say: "My injury is not serious, you go to see my colleague first, he is still unconscious."
Yun Zhou's expression tightened, and his little head turned away, but he reacted in the blink of an eye and said coldly: "Being able to leave the ICU means that the condition is stable."
The Sea King looked towards Qingkong and made a "tsk" sound. His expression seemed to say: This kid, Prince Wu, has a really bad relationship with his family.
Qingkong couldn't help but roll his eyes. It seemed that Neptune had used all his IQ on women. If Yunzhou really didn't care about Wu Wang, would he have known that he was in the ICU
Assistant Tan didn't say much during the whole process. He stood at the door and looked worriedly in the direction of the elevator. He was worried about Chen Chu, who had just left with Tang Tianyuan. Chen Chu was in a bad mood at the time. It was the first time that Assistant Tan saw Chen Chu so uneasy.
"Assistant Tan." Assistant Tan did not wait for Chen Chu to come out of the elevator, but waited for Lin Yan who was carrying a bunch of things.
Yun Zhou in the room heard Lin Yan's voice, and hurried to the door and waved to Lin Yan: "Lin Yan."
Lin Yan was also very happy to see Yun Zhou, and hurried over: "I brought you some hot and sour noodles. Didn't you say you wanted to eat spicy food? The hot and sour noodles at the entrance of our school are delicious."
Yun Zhou was already hungry, so he took the hot and sour noodles and thanked him shyly, "Thank you."
"Come in and eat."
Lin Yan walked into the ward and took a quick look. She found Chen Chu was not there. She felt a little strange, but did not think much about it. She called for others to come over and eat: "I bought a lot of things. Come and eat together."
As she spoke, Lin Yan placed the specially bought chicken soup on the small mobile table of the Sea King. When she was about to take another portion for the Dirty King, she found that the Dirty King had fallen asleep: "The Dirty King fell asleep?"
Qingkong casually picked up a box of rice with toppings, and when he heard Lin Yan's question, he casually replied, "He had a four-hour operation yesterday, and his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were all repaired. He consumed too much energy, so he only woke up briefly when he was out of the ICU, and has been in a coma since then."
Lin Xi blinked. If she remembered correctly, the King of Wu had just been yelling in the group asking Lin Xi to bring him beer.
"Cough, it's so spicy." Yun Zhou, who was eating on the table, seemed to be hurt by the spiciness. He quickly picked up the mineral water beside him and drank half a bottle.
This time Yun Zhou didn't have any big reaction, he just kept slurping the noodles.
Seeing this, Lin Xi did not continue to help the King of Wu to play the victim. After all, playing the victim too much would easily cause resentment, so it would be best to mention it casually.
Because Assistant Tan said in advance that people from headquarters would go directly to the hospital, Lin Xi bought a few extra meals, enough for the large number of people.
Lin Yan looked at the remaining lunch boxes and asked Assistant Tan, "Assistant Tan, where is Senior Chen Chu?"
Assistant Tan pointed to the rooftop and said, "Hand it over to the people at headquarters on the rooftop."
"Oh no!" At this time, Aquaman suddenly shouted.
Everyone was startled and looked towards the bed. They saw Hai Wang desperately poking at his phone with his right hand, which was still able to move. He anxiously shouted to Assistant Tan, "Forum, official forum."
Because he was deaf, Aquaman spoke louder than usual, and at this moment, due to nervousness, there was even a hint of panic in his voice.
Although Hai Wang has an eccentric personality and likes to make a fuss about everything he says and does, he is an old supernatural being who has experienced life and death many times, and there are not many things that can make him panic. So Assistant Tan and Qingkong immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately put down their lunch boxes and reached for their phones.
Assistant Tan had just picked up his phone when it rang. He looked at the number and went straight to the bathroom and closed the door.
At this time, Lin Yan and Qingkong had also logged into the official forum. Not only them, but also Lian Yunzhou and two colleagues from the law enforcement team involuntarily stopped eating and took out their phones because of the actions of the Sea King. Only the King of Dirty was still lying quietly on the bed, only slightly raising his eyelids.
Lin Yan was already very familiar with the official forum. As soon as she logged in, she entered the topic area with ease and went straight to the hot topic post at the top of the homepage.
[Blue Flame is live streaming, go watch it.]
Blue Flame Live, is it because of the failed terrorist attack last night? Lin Yan thought so while following the link and entering the live broadcast website.
In the live broadcast, a Blue Flame member wearing a black robe, a Blue Flame badge, and a faceless mask was talking to the camera: "Yesterday at the northern border of China, a Chinese superpower killed our Blue Flame elder Thales and took away the catastrophic item, the leyline map."
"Taylors, the S-rank earth-type esper? Is he dead? It's a good thing he died."
"Are you scared? Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away they are."
"I, a Chinese superpower, can crush your elders with just one finger."
"Even the catastrophic props were lost, and he even admitted it in person on live broadcast. Is Lan Yan giving in?"
“Is this a live broadcast of admitting defeat?”
The masked man glanced at the comment area, chuckled and said, "That's right, Lan Yan admires China's strength very much, and he is convinced of his defeat this time."
"Are you really giving in?"
"Why do I feel like there's something fishy going on?"
"There must be a conspiracy."
It is one thing to tease, but if Blue Flame really wants to admit that they are giving in, netizens subconsciously think it is impossible. If Blue Flame was an organization that would give in just because one or two S-level psychics died and a few props were lost, Blue Flame would not have become a terrifying psychic organization that gave headaches to all countries.
The masked man in the video was still talking: "In order to express Blue Flame's admiration, Blue Flame decided to publish the method of using the Earth Vein Map to save the official Chinese organization from exploring and searching. The Earth Vein Map is a prop that our Blue Flame members obtained from the S-level subspace twenty years ago. Because its power exceeds the S-level and can cause earthquakes, it is named a catastrophic prop."
In order to make his explanation more vivid, the masked man picked up a small map from the table and unfolded it: "Under normal circumstances, a geomagnetic map would look like this. It would actively record the geomagnetic power of the area it absorbs and draw a corresponding geomagnetic map. This map is the geomagnetic map of Jiaw City in S Country 20 years ago, and it is also what the geomagnetic map looked like 20 years ago."
Twenty years ago, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake occurred in JIAW City, S Country. Overnight, countless people were killed and injured, and the land was in mourning. When the earthquake first occurred, everyone thought it was a natural disaster. It was not until five years later that the International Anti-Terrorism Organization captured a member of the Blue Flame Organization and learned the truth from him. Since then, the catastrophic prop ventricle map has officially entered the field of vision of official organizations in various countries, and they have actively taken precautions.
But since then, Blue Flame has not used the earth vein map again, so the official organizations of various countries have only known about the earth vein map through speculation and the perception of some surviving supernatural beings in the earthquake. They know that the earth vein map must be buried underground to absorb the power of the earth vein, but the conditions and precautions for use are not clear.
After showing the map, the masked man picked up a piece of white paper of the same size and showed it to the camera again: "And 20 years ago, when the leyline map was first taken out of the subspace, it looked like this."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that when the ley line map first came out, it was a blank map?"
"The earth vein map hadn't absorbed the earth vein power at that time, so of course it was blank."
In the comment section, netizens began to analyze the situation, and the six groups of people who had seen the geomagnetic map felt as if they had been hit on the head with a hammer, and their minds were completely confused.
Several people looked at each other, and their horrified eyes all said the same thing: the geomagnetic map we got is blank.
As if he had finally gotten to the point, the masked man raised his lips outside the mask and smiled proudly: "And the venue map that was just taken away by China also looks like this."
As soon as these words were spoken, the comment section exploded instantly.
"Let me sort it out. The earth vein map was blank when it just left the subspace. After absorbing the earth vein power, the corresponding earth veins would be drawn in the blank area. Now, twenty years have passed, and the earth vein map has become blank again. Why did the earth vein power disappear?"
"Why did Lan Yan specifically point this out, and explain it in such detail?"
"Combining the statements of the two above, I have a terrifying guess. It's really scary when you think about it carefully."
"Upstairs, me too."
" 1."
The masked man did not intend to keep everyone in suspense and quickly gave the answer: "This is the characteristic of the leyline map. There must be a leyline on the leyline map. If not, it will automatically start drawing again."
"boom!"
Aquaman was unsteady, and when he moved, he knocked the chicken soup on the table to the ground. He was a water-based supernatural being, but he could actually spill the chicken soup on the ground, which showed how uneasy he was at the moment.
In the video, the masked man was still saying, "Twenty years ago, the earthquake in JIAW City, S Country was not caused intentionally by Blue Flame. It was just because the geomagnetic map happened to be born in JIAW City that the earthquake occurred. I know you will definitely not believe us when we say this, so we have not explained it for the past twenty years and have always tacitly accepted this matter. During this period, we have been trying to destroy this prop, but we have tried various methods and still cannot damage the geomagnetic map. We also tried to throw it back into the subspace and into the space turbulence, but the geomagnetic map could not be brought into the subspace. I, the Blue Flame Elders, speculate that it may be because the geomagnetic map has the geomagnetic veins of the main space, so it has formed a certain connection with the main space, so it cannot be taken away."
"Twenty years have passed, and the geography map has become blank again and needs to be redrawn. It just so happened that it fell into the hands of China. We, Blue Flame, can only inform the official organizations of China of everything we know, hoping that the official organizations of China can properly handle this catastrophic prop and avoid the disaster of JIAW City in S Country twenty years ago from happening again."
After saying that, the masked man in the video actually bowed to the camera in a "very gentlemanly" manner.
"Asshole!" Assistant Tan's angry roar came from the toilet.
What hope is that Chinese government organizations will properly handle the matter and prevent the disaster from happening again? Bullshit!
If the earth vein map is really as Lan Yan said, it cannot be destroyed and cannot be thrown into the subspace. Once the map is blank, the earth veins will be forcibly drawn. Then there is no way to stop the earth vein map. The only thing China can do is to choose a place to complete the drawing of the earth vein map and minimize casualties and losses.
Lan Yan did it on purpose. They deliberately sent the geomagnetic map to China. And this live broadcast was to announce to the world that the geomagnetic map was in China's hands. If an earthquake occurred in any country outside of China, it would be China that passed on the disaster.
Lan Yan used the geomagnetic map to push China to the forefront.
This is a conspiracy, a real terrorist attack by Blue Flame on China.
