The news of Chen Chu sealing off the city soon reached the ears of Country Y's supernatural organization. Just ten minutes later, members of the local supernatural organization came to find Chen Chu.
At this time, Chen Chu was walking alone in the city of Odin late at night, searching for Lin Xi's whereabouts.
"Mr. Chen, you have no right to do this. Please open the barrier immediately." It was late at night, and it was the night of the Sea God Festival. Not many people went out on Odin Island. Even if there were people who wanted to leave the city occasionally, the government could find some excuses to persuade them to go back. But when the sun rose, Odin Island, as a tourist city, would have a large number of tourists. If they were still not allowed to go out, it would inevitably cause great impact and commotion.
"My friend disappeared in the castle and is still in the city. No one is allowed to leave Odin Island until I find her." Chen Chu said in a tone that did not allow for negotiation.
"Your friend is missing. We can help find him, but you can't close the city." Margery Harris is an observer sent by the Y Country's supernatural organization for the Poseidon Festival. His main task is to observe whether there are any evil supernaturals taking the opportunity to sabotage during the Poseidon Festival. If any abnormality is found, report to the headquarters in time. Odin Island has always been peaceful, and the so-called observers are just a formality. He took the observer mission on his own initiative so that he could have a vacation at public expense, but he ran into such a thing. Now he can say that he regrets it.
"Then go find it." Chen Chu didn't even look at him.
Margery Harris was almost crying, anyone could sense the impatience of the S-class boss in front of him. He was just a small B-class mutant who normally didn't dare to stand in front of an S-class boss, but now he had to negotiate with the boss on behalf of the official organization.
"Mr. Chen, we will help you find your companions. We have already sent out the photos. But, can you open the barrier first?" Margery Harris pleaded again with gritted teeth.
Chen Chu stopped and stared at Maggie Harris quietly with his gloomy eyes. Although he did nothing, Maggie Harris felt a chill from the soles of his feet.
"I... I'll go find it right away." Margery Harris didn't dare to say anything more. He took advantage of a fork in the road and turned in, avoiding Chen Chu's sight.
Chen Chu retracted his gaze and continued walking along the street. He knew that his chances of success were slim if he searched aimlessly, but apart from doing so, he didn't know what else he could do.
Don't worry, as long as we trap people in the city, there will always be a way. Lin Yan has so many strange props on her, she will definitely find a way to remind herself.
"Ding-ling-ling..." In the quiet street, a cell phone suddenly rang.
Chen Chu took a look at the number and answered the call.
"Chen Chu, what are you doing? Who gave you the power that you dare to seal off the city?" Tang Tianyuan's roar almost pierced the sky.
Chen Chu seemed to have not heard anything, and continued to walk along the predetermined route, while constantly scanning the buildings on both sides. His perception almost covered the entire city, and he could sense any slight fluctuation of supernatural power in any place at the first time.
"Open the barrier for me immediately and take the earliest flight back home tomorrow." Tang Tianyuan ordered.
"I won't go back until I find Lin Yan." Chen Chu said.
"You don't have to worry about her affairs. Leave them to the superpower organization in Country Y. They will continue to look for her. Your top priority now is to return to your country and report again everything that happened in the Miao village subspace." Tang Tianyuan said.
"I've said everything I needed to say over the phone." Chen Chu said.
"Chen Chu, do you know what you are saying? Have you forgotten your identity?" Tang Tianyuan's tone suddenly turned cold, "I order you to come back immediately."
At this time, Chen Chu just walked to the stall where the two of them had eaten ramen in the afternoon. The owner of the stall had already taken a break, but the tables and chairs placed on the street were still there.
"Tang Tianyuan!" This was the first time Chen Chu called Tang Tianyuan's name. Even though he had been excluded, threatened, and expelled, Chen Chu always called him Team Leader Tang because of their childhood friendship. "My ability has been upgraded."
"What do you mean?" Tang Tianyuan was stunned, not quite understanding what Chen Chu meant.
"It should be easy for me to kill you now. So, don't provoke me." After saying that, Chen Chu hung up the phone directly, without caring about how Tang Tianyuan on the other end of the phone would react after hearing what he said.
Chen Chu continued searching. Ten minutes later, the phone in his hand rang again. This time the number looked familiar, and it seemed to be from Jin City.
"Hello."
"I heard that you sealed off a city." asked the person on the other end of the phone.
"Lin Xi is missing." Chen Chu recognized the voice, it was Qingkong.
"I know." Qingkong.
Chen Chu was silent.
"The fact that you sealed off the city has been exposed by Lan Yan. Now there is a lot of public opinion online, saying that you held hundreds of thousands of people hostage just to save your girlfriend. Do you have anything to explain about this?" Qing Kong was talking about the public opinion on the Internet.
"It was Lan Yan who did it." Chen Chu ignored Qing Kong's ridicule.
When Lin Xi disappeared, he suspected that it was Lan Yan's people who did it, and Qing Kong's words at this time just confirmed this.
"You sealed off the city, which means you are absolutely sure that Lin Xi is still in the city, right?" Qingkong asked.
"Yes, I sealed off the city immediately after Lin Xi disappeared. Even a person with space ability would not be able to establish a space channel in such a short time." Chen Chu said.
"So what you have to do now is to find this space-related psychic, or the person who took Lin Xi away." Qingkong asked.
"yes."
"I just checked. The total number of residents on Odin Island, plus the tourists who come there for vacation every year, is about 350,000. And the daily passenger flow on Odin Island is about 50,000." Qingkong said, "That means at least 50,000 people will leave Odin Island tomorrow morning. You may not be able to stop them by then."
Chen Chu knew these things without Qingkong reminding him.
"Are you here to persuade me to give up?" Chen Chu asked.
"No, I'm here to give you some advice."
Chen Chu was stunned.
"This matter can actually be big or small. Isn't it just sealing off a city? As long as the reason is legitimate, public opinion will be easy to handle." Qingkong said.
"For example?" Chen Chu asked humbly.
"For example, there are force majeure factors, such as a tornado, traffic is blocked, and people cannot travel normally." Qingkong said.
Chen Chu glanced at the starry night sky and suddenly felt that it was a good day for a tornado.
"As for the public opinion in the supernatural world, it's much easier to find excuses. For example, you discovered Lan Yan's conspiracy, and the city was sealed off to protect the safety of ordinary people." Qingkong continued to suggest, "Anyway, everyone has their own reasons for this kind of thing. As a hero who dealt with the geocentric map, you still have more credibility than Lan Yan."
"They are still thinking about this, Aquaman. They will let you know when they have made up their mind."
"Thanks."
"Lin Yan is not just your colleague." After saying that, Qingkong paused and added, "Assistant Tan asked me to tell you something. He said that when Lin Yan joined the company, the great prophet Xiao gave Lin Yan a comment."
"What comments?" Chen Chu.
"Although I am about to die, I will never die easily." Qingkong said.
After hearing the comments, Chen Chu was stunned for several seconds before he came back to his senses in a daze. A sign of impending death? That's why Lin Yan was so unlucky and often encountered danger. Not dying easily, so she could always turn danger into safety
"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen." Margery Harris waited until Chen Chu finished his call before she dared to approach.
As a representative of the supernatural people of Country Y, he actually had not gone far. He just received a call from his immediate superior, who said that the official organization of China had already warned Chen Chu, and asked him to urge Chen Chu to open the city sealing barrier again, and it would definitely succeed this time.
Chen Chu put down the phone and glanced at him.
"I heard... I heard that you agreed to open the city barrier?" Margery Harris asked.
"It is said that?"
“Yes… yes, I heard it.” Our boss said it.
"I heard that the weather on Odin Island is about to change. There is said to be a tornado." Chen Chu also heard the news just now.
tornado
Margery Harris looked up at the starry sky and said, "No, the weather on Odin Island is always very good during the Poseidon Festival every year."
"Really?" Chen Chu put his right palm facing up, and condensed a small tornado in front of Margery Harris, then threw it into the sky in the other party's incredulous gaze.
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, the wind raged, the sea waves were surging, and outside the city there were dark clouds, and sand and rocks were flying.
“!!!” Margery Harris was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
"Look, a tornado." After saying that, Chen Chu turned and left, disappearing in the wind.
Margery Harris took out his phone and cried, calling his immediate superior: "Boss, something big has happened. Chen Chu created a natural disaster and dropped a tornado outside the city in front of me. He is determined to close the city..."
Early the next morning, all residents and tourists on Odin Island received a government announcement at the same time: strong winds suddenly occurred near Odin Island, and the city was temporarily closed for the safety of the people and tourists.
Although this announcement caused quite a stir, the strong winds were a fact, and most people quickly accepted it. Of course, there were also those who disobeyed the order, and as soon as they left the city, they would be blown back by a tornado. After a few times, no one wanted to leave the city anymore.
"In order to trap us, Chen Chu actually created a natural disaster. How dare he? Isn't he afraid of causing international disputes?" Dracula was a little confused. Chen Chu's behavior was somewhat like their Blue Flame.
No, even Blue Flame was not arrogant enough to directly seal off the city.
“So what? With the food reserves on Odin Island, even if the city is closed, it can only be closed for three days at most,” said the red-haired woman.
After three days, the city was short of food, and the Y government would never allow Chen Chu to seal off the city. Even less than three days. Chen Chu's behavior was tantamount to provocation, and the Y government would not tolerate it.
"That will take another three days." Dracula said uneasily, "I always feel uneasy."
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in Odin City. How long will it take for him to check them all?" The red-haired woman seemed very confident. "At this moment, he is under more pressure than us. We just need to keep an eye on this puppet."
Inside the glass cover, outside the toy castle, Lin Xi woke up in a daze and heard two people discussing Chen Chu's creation of a natural disaster.
Senior Chen Chu created a natural disaster? This is strictly prohibited by the authorities.
Is it for the purpose of reasonable lockdown
That's right. There are so many tourists in Odin Island. If the city is closed without a legitimate reason, it will inevitably cause huge public opinion and riots. But even if there is a natural disaster, it can only delay it for a while. And the longer the time, the greater the pressure on Senior Chen Chu. No, she can't wait any longer. She must find a way to make Senior Chen Chu notice the abnormality of the puppet shop as soon as possible.
Immediately trigger a car accident penalty
"System, is there a minimum requirement for the merit points to seal the plague?" Before clearing the merit points, Lin Xi had one thing to confirm.
"No, the price of sealing the plague is to clear the merit points, so as long as your merit points are greater than 0, you can clear the seal." said the system.
"That's fine." Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Merit points can be cleared passively or actively. When she thought of using the car accident to attract Chen Chu's attention, she did not clear the merit points immediately and trigger the car accident penalty because she considered the issue of the plague seal. Because the plague seal requires clearing all the merit points in the system, Lin Yan was afraid that if she cleared the merit points in advance and triggered the system penalty, she would not have enough merit points to seal the plague in the remaining time. Once the seal fails, the plague will spread.
In addition, there was another reason, that is, when she thought of this idea yesterday, it was already late at night, and she was not sure whether Chen Chu was nearby. If Chen Chu was not nearby, a car accident late at night and two S-level psychics were there to deal with the aftermath might have been dealt with before it attracted any attention.
But now it’s different, it’s daytime and there are people everywhere outside.
"System, I want to make a deal with you using 62 merit points." Lin Xi made a decision.
"62 points of merit cannot be traded for anything." said the system.
"Don't worry, this deal isn't difficult."
"tell me the story."
"Let the cars keep hitting me until I turn back into a human." Lin Yan risked her life.
"This requirement can be met." System.
[Merit value -62.]
[Host's merit value is cleared to 0, triggering a car accident penalty. ]
