Chapter 1147: Chapter 677: The Human Condition (Part 2)
At times like this, gathering the elites from the Time Traveler’s Academy for brainstorming is his best choice.
All Time Traveler squads have switched from Plan A to Plan B.
Ninety-nine percent of the city’s vehicles rely on electric power from the Yun Liu Tower. The city’s traffic is now paralyzed, and people are standing beside their cars, swearing and complaining.
Time Travelers are weaving through the traffic jams, continually reminding people that City No. 10 is under attack by the Jindai Consortium.
Even if no one believes them.
However, before they proceed too far, they discover rats appearing on the street.
A tide of rats has hit the streets.
Chen Zhuoqu looks at the team members behind him and coldly says, "Anyone who hasn’t taken Immortality, give me your backpack! Anyone who has taken Immortality, practiced, or used the Genetic Potion, help share the load for your teammates. Let no child under twelve carry anything. We must quickly weave through the city center!"
A team member looks at the suddenly appearing rats and murmurs, "Is it too late already."
...
...
Inside the PCA Federation CIA.
The building, which was originally brightly lit due to overtime work, has now dimmed.
The CIA is special, however, as its backup generator will automatically start in five minutes, restoring order then.
Qing Yi sits alone in the dark office, quietly listening to the chaos in the outer office caused by the power outage.
The once watermelon-headed young man has now cut his hair like Li Ke, with a buzz cut that looks much more capable.
At this moment, a PCE Investigator walks in: "Boss, a woman named Si Nianhua is here. She says she has an appointment with you."
Qing Yi lifts his head in the dark, moonlight casting a shadow over his eyes.
The young man stands up: "Bring her in, quickly."
Si Nianhua walks in, her high heels clicking as she elegantly strides, carrying her expensive handbag under her arm.
Upon seeing her, Qing Yi smiles and asks, "How has my mentor been recently?"
Si Nianhua says, "No time for chit-chat. The power outage was caused by Jindai. They placed the corpse of Jindai Chika in a certain sewer, causing biological contamination to City No. 10. Now they’re planning to destroy the city. Please act quickly; he will wait for you in sub-district three."
Qing Yi nods and decisively instructs the PCA Investigator: "Qing Hua, go inform the Li Family detectives to join us, saying it’s a command from their independent director. Yang Xuyang, go get that item."
Having said that, he turns to walk out the door: "Everyone, follow me."
In just five minutes, the team trained by Qing Chen, led by Qing Yi, swiftly leaves the PCA building.
Immediately, detectives from the Li Family also come out.
Qing Yi strides into the night, while Si Nianhua follows with a smile tugging at her lips.
Qing Yi presses the remote in his hand, and the building behind him suddenly transforms into a fireball, engulfing detectives from the Chen Clan, Jindai, and Deer Island in flames.
What Yang Xuyang went to retrieve was a high-performance explosive contained in a sealed metal box.
Originally, Qing Yi planned to use it as a last resort to go down with others, but now it is used to destroy all life in that building.
Qing Yi looks at Si Nianhua with a smile: "Did my mentor say anything else?"
Si Nianhua seems a bit surprised. This young man’s methods truly deserve his reputation as the Living Hades of Intelligence Department One, yet when Qing Chen is mentioned, his smile is so pure and innocent.
"The boss said to notify you first to evacuate and find a way to inform all Spy Bureau Members."
"First?" Qing Yi’s smile grows even brighter.
...
...
City No. 10.
Sub-district three is also plunged into darkness due to electrical system failure.
It’s as if this place has never seen light.
"Let me do it! Lao Luo said if I can open the Key of Gate to that place, he’d match me up for dating," Xiao San exclaims, taking out the Golden Eye of Truth he brought recently: "Don’t worry, I haven’t been in a relationship yet, so I’m sure I can open it there."
"You better not open it to the Taboo Land," someone says in the dark.
"I won’t," Xiao San laughs cheerfully: "I’m afraid of death, definitely won’t open it there."
The Key of Gate, one of the most widely used witchcraft in Wizard legacy, is also the foundation of Wizards.
Its principle is to press the Ferrero-sized Eye of Truth against a door, turn it clockwise ten times, then the door will take you to wherever you want to go.
It will undoubtedly be where your heart truly desires to go, completely unhidden.
Originally a witchcraft for Wizards to directly understand their true heart; when life leaves you bewildered, not knowing where to go, the Key of Gate will show you the answer.
A person can only open the Key of Gate once in their lifetime.
However, now the Key of Gate, which has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, has been messed with by the Observer organization.
Luo Wanya promised this lively bunch of strapping young men that as long as it’s opened into the wild, regardless of the exact location, he’d set them up for dating.
As Xiao San gently twists the Eye of Truth, the iron door in front seems to melt under the Eye of Truth, leaving a red mark akin to molten iron.
The Eye of Truth slowly embeds itself into the door, with a click, the Key of Gate opens.
