Chapter 452 Assembly Order
"The morning news is here for you..."
"Regarding the multiple violent incidents that occurred last night, currently..."
On the TV screen, a dignified female anchor was reading a press release. As the official media, it was naturally impossible to broadcast those false rumors. The main thing was to sort out the currently known information, appease the people''s emotions, and remind residents to pay attention to safety.
"Tch! Pay attention to safety. Is that something I can pay attention to if I want to?"
In front of the dining table, a boy in a school uniform who looked like a middle school student said, "Didn''t you see that our class teacher was nailed to the wall yesterday? The murderer was more ferocious than the Terminator. He even penetrated the wall behind Teacher Li." It’s so bloody!”
"I can''t even shut your mouth when I eat!" The boy''s mother tapped the rim of his bowl with chopsticks: "Didn''t you hear what the TV said? Those are all emergencies... Besides, it''s not as exaggerated as you said. Even the walls are It can be penetrated. You must have watched too many cartoons. Eat quickly and go to school!"
"Damn it, why don''t you let him go..." The child''s father was wearing glasses and looked gentle: "Yesterday, the WeChat Moments and short video platforms were all maxed out. It''s not like an ordinary violent incident. It''s very There may be paranormal activity…”
"Supernatural! You look like a supernatural to me!" The woman was furious when she saw her husband: "The high school entrance examination will be held in half a year, and now is the critical time. If you don''t go to school at all times, you will not be able to pass the exam." High school, I will be as useless as you in the future!”
"Why did it get involved with me..." The man looked displeased, but he didn''t dare to get really angry, so he could only mutter secretly.
At this time, the bedroom door opened, and a long-haired girl came out. She was tall and beautiful, with a touch of indifference and sharpness between her eyebrows... It was Ling Xin!
"Why did you get up!" When the woman saw her eldest daughter, she hurriedly scolded: "Hurry up and have something to eat and go to work. If you are late on the first day of work, what will your boss think of you?"
Ling Xin didn''t say anything. She looked at her "brother" in school uniform at the dining table and her "dad" who was checking her cell phone. She shook her head.
"Don''t go out today, it''s very dangerous outside."
"What did you say?" Mom''s eyebrows rose: "Don''t go out? Your dad doesn''t have to go to work? Your brother doesn''t have to go to school?"
"Ask for leave." Ling Xin said calmly: "Stay at home today, and always pay attention to the situation outside. If you find anything unusual, run away immediately. Home is not 100% safe..." As she said that, she looked at the time. , silently calculated: "Especially around one o''clock in the afternoon, if you see any monsters outside causing a disturbance, you should stay away as soon as possible."
"What kind of monster? What crazy talk are you talking about?" Mom knocked on the table: "Forget about your father and your brother, you just found a job and asked for leave. Is it appropriate?"
"I will go..." Ling Xin sighed. When she arrived yesterday, she was in this home. There were only her mother, a retired housewife, and she, an unemployed young man, in the house. Before she could get used to the environment, the phone rang in the house, and then Her mother handed over the phone that had been left in the bathroom and watched her answer it.
The call came from the company where she interviewed a few days ago, informing her that she was hired and that she could report to the unit tomorrow. Before Ling Xin could react, her mother was the first to cheer. That look of joy from the bottom of her heart actually made this girl who had lost her parents since childhood feel a bit of warmth...
Even though the warmth was false, even though this family that seemed noisy but had the smell of human fireworks in its bones did not belong to her, Ling Xin still didn''t want anything to happen to them.
Maybe they are just a mission background, and they don''t even have a past or a future, but at least they can spend these three days safely.
"I will go to work, but you must not run around and do as I say."
Ling Xin''s tone was very firm, and her mother was a little stunned. After hesitating for a few times, she still insisted: "Then you can''t go to work or go to school... If you ask me to say that you are unfounded, there is no such chaos outside..." Then, she pointed at the TV: "Look, wasn''t the news broadcast? These are just emergencies. The police have started investigating, so let''s not panic..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the female anchor on the TV suddenly screamed. The younger brother''s eyes widened and he pointed at the screen and said, "Look!"
The whole family looked towards the TV and saw a man wearing a half-face mask walking into the studio and pushing the news anchor to the edge of the screen.
"What happened?" The sudden situation made the father and son very excited. Ling Xin frowned on the side. She knew that mask. It was Ye who once rescued her from the wild underground ruins!
However, before anyone could take a closer look, the screen suddenly cut to an advertisement. Obviously, the studio had made emergency response to such emergencies.
"Mom, look, it''s really dangerous outside!" The younger brother shouted excitedly: "The terrorists have rushed to the TV station!"
"What kind of terrorist!" Mom was still stubborn: "It was just an accident. The TV station has already taken emergency measures. It means that the masked man has been controlled. Maybe the broadcast will resume after a while."
"I don''t think so..." Dad pushed up his glasses and analyzed from the side with the reflection of the lenses: "The TV station is not a vegetable market. It can come and go at will... That masked man can rush to the studio in full view of everyone, It already speaks volumes, and looking at the female anchor’s expression…”
"You''re the only one who talks a lot, right?" Mom glared at Dad, which immediately made the adult Conan become a coward...
Just then, the show resumed.
"Hey, you see, I said you''ll recover in a while!" Mom pointed at the screen arrogantly, and when she looked carefully, she found that the one sitting in the center of the studio was not the previous female anchor, but the masked man.
"Hello?" Facing the terrified TV staff who were forced to cooperate, Luo Jun tried the microphone, cleared his throat, and said to the camera.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ye. Most of the audience may not know me, but I believe that at least 24 people in the city have heard of me..."
"I came here mainly to send a message to these more than 20 compatriots."
"If you want to successfully achieve our goal, then come to the shopping mall on Wanghe Road to gather at ten o''clock on time. I will wait for you in front of the main entrance. In order to thank everyone for your cooperation, I will give a gift to each friend present. A hundred points as a thank you gift.”
"Also, don''t doubt my ability. I was the one who killed the source of the disaster last night. Believe me, if you want to complete the mission and get the maximum benefit, cooperation with me is the only way!"
After saying this, Luo Jun left the studio, leaving only the TV station staff who were still in panic.
"This, this, this... what is going on?" Ling Xin''s "brother" looked excited: "Mom, have you seen it? That mysterious man really hijacked the TV station! He is definitely not an ordinary person! He said ten o''clock What does it mean to gather in a shopping mall? I want to see it too!”
"No!" Before her mother could refute, Ling Xin shouted to stop him.
"I''m going to work, mark my words, never go out, take as much time off as you can, be careful of dangers at all times, and don''t get involved with that weirdo on TV just now!"
"But what about you?" Dad was a little worried: "Since it''s so dangerous outside, don''t go out... It''s just a job, you can find another one..."
"I''m different." Ling Xin shook her head: "I may not come back to live in these days. Don''t worry, everything will be back to normal the night after tomorrow..."
"You''re not coming back to live? Then where are you going to live?" Mom gave up after hearing this: "Are you dating a boyfriend? You can''t just hook up with yourself casually, a big girl should be more reserved!"
"Mom"''s concern warmed Ling Xin''s heart, but she had no time to waste time with them. She sighed, raised her hand and picked up a stainless steel spoon on the table, pinched it with both hands, and twisted hard, only to hear a crunch. There was a squeaking sound of metal tearing, and the stainless steel spoon surface, which was more than a millimeter thick, was torn open by her, like tearing apart cardboard.
"Wow! Sister, are you doing magic?" The younger brother looked shocked. Ling Xin threw the spoon on the table. Her father picked it up, checked it, and took a breath: "It''s not a magic prop, it''s Genuine stainless steel…”
"I''m not your sister, nor your daughter." Ling Xin showed her cards directly: "If you want to survive, just listen to me. The world has changed these days!"
When she said this, she released murderous intent, and after frightening the three of them, she opened the door and left.
"Is it the shopping mall on Wanghe Road..." Ling Xin took out her mobile phone to search for the address and found that it was not far away, so she went out and took the subway and quickly arrived at the target location.
This is the largest shopping mall in the city, located next to the main road in the city center. Although it is not open yet, the subway station at the door and the vehicles on the road all tell the story of the prosperity of this place.
Night hasn''t come yet?
Ling Xin walked around the mall''s main entrance as if nothing had happened, and then chose a fast food restaurant near the main entrance to sit down. After ordering breakfast, she observed the mall''s main entrance and the surrounding environment through the window.
Ye''s approach is very radical, but it is indeed the fastest way to gather teammates. Ling Xin also had this idea, but it attracted not only teammates, but also enemies. This method was very dangerous and she would not dare to try it casually without absolute strength.
But Ye is different... Ling Xin has already seen in the underground excellent trial ground that he has incredible innate bones. Even if his vitality is sealed, his physical strength is stronger than most of the ancients, even the masters of concentration. . And if he was really the one who killed the Corpse King last night, then he must have restored his full realm by now, and may even have unlocked the legendary treasure.
With such strength, he is indeed qualified to stand in front of the stage.
I just don’t know what this guy’s plan is.
But it doesn''t matter, even if the plan doesn''t come to an agreement, something should be gained this time.
Ling Xin came here for other purposes besides wanting to get in touch with other teammates.
She believed that Ye''s declaration would definitely attract polluters, and if she could take the opportunity to kill one or two, it would be a worthwhile trip.
After eating breakfast and waiting for a while, I didn''t see the polluter, but I saw a lot of ordinary people gathered near the entrance of the mall.
They all saw the morning news and came here to watch the excitement. Several of them even carried selfie sticks and were broadcasting... Human beings are really unreasonable sometimes. The mysterious people who can occupy the TV station can know everything with their toes. He is a dangerous person, and they actually dare to join in the fun. I really don’t know whether they are brave or stupid.
But soon, Ling Xin discovered that among the onlookers, there were some suspicious guys. They looked the same as others, but they were obviously more alert, and they talked to themselves from time to time. With her extraordinary eyesight, Ling Xin could see that they were all wearing hidden headphones.
plainclothes?
That''s right. Such a high-profile hijacking of a TV station can almost be regarded as a terrorist act. How could the police not take action? I believe there should be more police forces hidden in the nearby streets and alleys. Considering yesterday''s violence, they should have prepared many powerful weapons.
Time passed by, and at nine o''clock, the mall opened normally. The flow of people in and out made the main entrance more lively and attracted more people to watch the excitement. At the same time, Ling Xin also saw some familiar faces nearby.
Across the street, there was a tall man wandering back and forth. He was Shi Yong from the Shi family in Shuncheng. This guy was a leader among the younger generation in Sinian, and was also considered to be the most promising master of the Shi family to reach the top.
In a cafe not far away, there is a young man and woman sitting, both with dyed red hair. The man looks to be in his mid-twenties, and the woman is younger, in her early twenties at most. She looks like a pair of dyed red hair. They met a couple with the same hair color, but Ling Xin knew that their hair was natural.
Chen Yan and Chen Fei from the Chen family in Zhuque Town are Chen Ran''s cousins, but their strength is much higher than that of Chen Ran. Especially Chen Fei, although she is a girl, she is still a student of Kansai University. , but both talent and ability are top-notch, and he is even considered to be the strongest competitor for the next head of the family!
And not far away, the girl standing at the entrance of the subway station to enjoy the cool air was Zhuge Lan, whom she had met once before when she was fighting against Long Hui...
There were quite a few masters attracted. Ling Xin took a sip of coffee, squinted her eyes, and then turned her head slightly to look at the door of the fast food restaurant... There was another one here.
"I didn''t expect you to come too?" A slightly lazy voice sounded. A man with long hair walked into the fast food restaurant, went straight to Ling Xin''s seat, and sat down opposite her. .
"If I remember correctly, you participated in a Chaos mission at the beginning of the month, right?" The man looked at Ling Xin with a smile: "You are able to appear here. Is it because of the use of a Noble Phantasm?"
"This has nothing to do with you." Ling Xin snorted and glanced at the man in front of her with slight dissatisfaction.
"Don''t be so cold..." The man shrugged: "Don''t forget, Uncle Jue said back then that he would marry you to me when you grow up!"
