The sun has risen very high.
On the desk, the cup of first-class coffee from the Southern Zhou Kingdom was already cold.
Situ He still leaned on the chair, motionless.
But the book in his arms was not restless at all.
Bizarre images were shaking before his eyes.
Even if you close your eyes, they are like a gangrene attached to your bones, following you everywhere.
Situ He has not moved for seven hours.
Finally, he made up his mind.
He stood up, picked up a red phone on his desk, and dialed the number.
After a while, the call was connected.
"I am Situ He!" He gave the order seriously: "I order, from now on!"
"Closely investigate and investigate all those who use magic illegally or are aliens!"
"If there is resistance, shoot without mercy!"
Putting down the phone, he dialed another number. After the call was connected, he said directly to the other party: "I'm Situ He, please call the Governor's Mansion!"
About ten seconds later, a slightly magnetic and thick male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Situ, how is the investigation on the tiger demon problem going?"
"Captain..." Situ He reported: "There is no result yet..."
"but… "
He tidied up his words slightly, briefly introduced what happened last night, and also explained the order he had just given.
There was a long silence on the other side of the phone.
After a long time, Situ He heard the governor opposite say: "You did the right thing!"
"For such an unknown thing, we must immediately cut off its connection with the outside world..."
"Avoid His appearance in reality!"
"I will come as soon as possible..."
"Before that, be sure to cut off any people or aliens who may come into contact with it in reality!"
A few years ago, the disaster in Fuso was caused by a group of ignorant young people who rashly came into contact with the demons sealed between dreams and reality.
Then, the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts took place.
The terrifying demon Tamamo Mae almost broke free from the seal and came to reality.
In the end, it was the collective dispatch and emergency rescue that nipped the scene in the bud.
Even so, the losses and casualties caused are still frightening.
"But..." Situ He advised: "This will definitely alarm other people..."
The Commander-in-Chief of the Black Guards is someone from this otherworldly world.
His every move will attract countless attention.
Once he arrives, it is inevitable not to be alarmed.
This may instead cause the problem to get out of control.
"It doesn't matter..." The person on the other end of the phone chuckled: "Anyway, if they want to come, they can come!"
In his words, he showed extremely confident pride.
…
As usual, Lingpingan opened the store door.
First, I fed the kitten Best some cat food, and then bought two baskets of steamed dumplings and a bowl of tofu puffs from Aunt Cai next door.
Then he returned to the store and sat at the counter.
Turn on the TV and it's still morning news time.
Sweet announcer, on TV, reading the news.
"According to the news, public drills on national defense and security and other subjects will be held. This drill will introduce and popularize a variety of national defense weapons and national defense knowledge to the general public. At the same time, it will also carry out the 'National Defense Education into Campus' activity..."
On the TV screen, scenes from previous years' exercises appeared one after another.
Most of them are about firefighting, emergency rescue, explosion prevention, danger avoidance, rescue, etc.
Lingpingan looked at it, shrugged, and changed the channel.
Still news, but news.
"today!"
"Now please watch our reporter's interview with His Excellency Wang Anming, Minister of Animal Husbandry of the Kingdom of the Western Song Dynasty!"
A fair, fat middle-aged man appeared in front of the camera, and then started talking about the same old stuff.
What kind of federal family is it? If one side is in trouble, all sides will support it.
What, His Majesty the King of the Western Song Dynasty, believes and is certain that the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will definitely be able to get out of the predicament and regain their new life.
If it weren’t for Aunt Cai’s steamed dumplings, they would be really delicious.
Lingpingan even suspected that he was about to fall asleep.
"By the way..." Lingpingan ate steamed dumplings and mumbled to himself: "What's going on with the foot-and-mouth disease in the Northern Zhou Dynasty? It's still not under control yet?"
"What do the bureaucrats of the Northern Zhou Dynasty do for food?"
"Do they still want to do it this year?!"
With that said, he turned off the TV.
Then start cleaning in the store.
In fact, what he called cleaning was just mopping the floor and taking out the takeout boxes that had been filling the trash cans in recent days.
So, it took almost no effort and it was done.
Then, he took out his mobile phone by the trash can, found the 'laundry aunt' from the address book, called her, and said: "Aunt Wang, this is Ping An..."
"I have some clothes here. I would like you to come and get them and wash them for me..."
"Well, I will transfer the money to you later by hand!"
"Trouble!"
After hanging up the phone, Lingpingan suddenly felt someone looking at him.
He raised his head and looked at the shops on both sides.
The camera installed at the entrance of the store is turning.
Lingpingan frowned slightly, waved his hand and muttered: "What's going on?!"
…
Situ He stood in the monitoring hall of Jiangcheng City.
Here, there are countless screens showing real-time images of all major roads and main streets in the city.
Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a screen.
"Turn the seventh camera on the left!" He ordered immediately.
The order is executed immediately.
Then, the camera's picture was cut directly to the big screen.
Situ He saw that at the end of the camera, at the edge of the screen, there was a shop that made his scalp tingle just looking at it.
A three-story old building with dusty tile walls.
"Is there any camera that can accurately see here?" he asked, pointing to the corner revealed at the edge of the screen.
"Yes!" the technician immediately replied: "On the other side of this street, there are several shops whose cameras are connected to our system!"
"Switch immediately!" Situ He ordered.
As a result, the large screen quickly switched.
Under the concentrated shooting of several cameras, the entire shop appeared on the screen.
Then, Situ He saw a familiar figure.
Thin body, wearing simple casual clothes.
He's not too tall, about 1.75 meters at most.
The camera looks up and his face enters the frame.
A very young man.
His face was clearly photographed.
It's white and clean, and there doesn't seem to be anything special about it.
Wearing a pair of cheap glasses on his eyes.
He stood next to the trash can on the roadside and threw a bag of garbage into it.
In the monitoring hall, all the staff looked at Situ He in confusion.
They don't understand, what's wrong with this ordinary young man
but…
Situ He just stared at the people on the screen blankly.
The morning sunlight fell on him, and there was nothing surprising about the shadow reflected on the ground.
Situ He clenched his fists.
Then, he saw a kitten quietly following the young man in the camera lens.
Suddenly, the young man seemed to notice something. He raised his head and looked at the camera.
His brows were clearly wrinkled under the high-definition lens.
He waved his hand and muttered something unknown.
The entire electronic screen immediately fell into a snowflake.
And Situ He immediately stepped back several steps.
His secretary quickly supported him: "What's wrong?"
"Send someone to that neighborhood immediately!" Situ He ordered in a deep voice: "Find the trash can where the camera is located!"
"Bring back everything inside, every bit of it!"
"Remember, don't alarm anyone!"
He looked at the obviously surprised crowd around him and shouted in a deep voice: "Why don't you go quickly?!"
