Chapter 40 Riot
The midday sun was a bit dazzling.
Bai Yuze emerged from the shadows of a dilapidated building, sporting dark circles under his eyes, looking like a young man who had just come out of an internet cafe after an all-nighter.
He stood at the alley entrance for two seconds.
I adjusted to the outside light.
After a long while, he took out a spare phone and made a call, telling the person who needed it what he had just found out.
Then.
Bai Yuze was preparing to go home.
to be frank,
Although he had stayed in the parrot area for two or three years, he didn't feel much attachment to it.
If it weren't for the Ashes Gang stirring up trouble for no reason...
He really didn't want to come; the air quality here was just too bad. Industrial exhaust mixed with the stench of sewers, plus some indescribable chemical smells—just one breath felt like his lungs were going to burst.
But when he arrived at Qingyang Bridge, he found that there seemed to be quite a large crowd ahead of him.
It sounds quite noisy.
Bai Yuzhe glanced at the crowd from afar and realized that it was a large group of people from Parrot District gathered together, a dark mass in the distance. He couldn't help but recall Lu Zihai's warning, saying that the Qingyang Bridge area in Hanjiang District had been unstable lately, and that he shouldn't go near it unless necessary.
He was incredibly lucky; he actually ran into one.
It stands to reason,
He should have turned around and left.
After all, when negative emotions are suppressed, they can easily attract bad things.
For example, the Abyssal Beast,
They love this flavor the most.
And with the arrival of the abyssal monsters, the magical girls naturally followed suit.
However, there's a saying that goes,
All come,
We absolutely have to find out the truth of the matter.
Bai Yuze moved closer to the edge of the crowd, listened for a while, and pieced together a complete story.
The main problem is the constant internal conflicts within the new federal government.
The vital energy route through the Umur Strait has been blocked. And since the Japanese autonomous region is an island, over 90% of its oil and natural gas passes through there; now it's completely cut off. Factories are without raw materials, production has ceased, daily necessities are becoming scarce, and prices are skyrocketing.
The Maple Leaf area and Genting area are alright.
However, things are not going so well in Hanjiang District and Yingwu District.
As the number of people increases,
The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense.
Bai Yuzhe naturally had no intention of getting involved. He was just an ordinary citizen living a normal life and had no interest in these things. However, his gaze was fixed on the middle-aged man and his accomplices. Unlike the anger of others, these people were particularly calm. They kept chanting slogans and inciting the surrounding citizens.
It still smells familiar.
A fake.
However, unlike the sweet scent of the Abyss Beasts, their bodies carried a faint smell of rust.
If I were to describe it,
The former is honey to him, while the latter is rotten fruit.
Bai Yuze glanced at it once or twice.
It can be inferred that this riot was caused by these imposters.
of course,
The fake human's strength is clearly inferior to that of the Abyssal Beast.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are many fake people here.
Bai Yuze could take them all down by himself.
just,
Bai Yuzhe was somewhat confused as to why these hypocrites were stirring up trouble out of nowhere.
At this time of year
Isn't this the time when redeemers do good deeds?
While Bai Yuze was thinking...
Collisions and conflicts have already begun on both sides.
"Squeak!"
at this time,
A person's body suddenly disappeared.
For no apparent reason,
The Secret Service agents and civilians around were completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
It doesn't look like it was shot with a gun.
Next second,
That is, the whole person disappeared.
Right now,
The surrounding crowd immediately understood that the legendary abyssal beast had appeared.
In an instant,
The riot was abruptly stopped.
"what!"
"There's an abyssal monster!"
"Run!"
"..."
The appearance of the Abyssal Beast was like a bucket of cold water poured on this lively atmosphere.
In an instant,
Screams erupted.
Everyone was running in opposite directions, pushing, falling, and trampling, making it look even more chaotic than the riot earlier.
On the open flat ground,
This limb-splitting abyssal beast doesn't care whether you're human or a pseudo-human.
It wants to taste saltiness as long as it's alive.
The citizens of Dongqing City cannot see it.
But Bai Yuze could still see the other person.
This abyssal beast was about three meters tall, with a dark gray body and no fixed shape. Its body resembled a churning mass of mud, with bubbles constantly rising from its surface. Anything that got close to it would be swallowed, dissolved, and vanished.
Abyss Devourer
It's also known as a trash can in the abyss.
Not a picky eater
They eat everything.
It took about ten seconds.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Several bright rainbow lights appeared in Bai Yuze's eyes.
He raised his head.
But I didn't see any familiar faces among them.
Ugh!
Bai Yuze sighed softly. He had waited so long, but the hydrangeas hadn't come!
What a waste of time!
Roar!
The Abyss Devourer seemed to have sensed the magical girl's approach.
It let out a deep roar.
But its resistance did not last long.
The first arrow, the second arrow, the third arrow… more than a dozen azure light arrows descended from the sky, precisely piercing its churning body. The dark gray body began to disintegrate from the inside out, like paper being set ablaze; bubbles burst one after another, and the distorted human face turned to ashes amidst shrieks.
The Abyss Devourer's body shattered into countless gray dust particles.
Scattered by the wind
Not even a trace was left.
The entire process, from the appearance of the Abyss Beast to its destruction, took less than two minutes.
The riots are over.
But the Secret Service's work has only just begun.
……
They brought the situation under control and began checking the remaining crowd. Those who had been inciting others just moments before lost control the moment the Abyssal Beast appeared, trying to escape by blending into the crowd, but the Secret Service was prepared.
Seven or eight low-level imposters were pinned down on the spot, and one imposter attempted to transform and create chaos.
But he was pierced through the heart by a magical girl's sword.
The last two high-ranking spies took a step back almost the instant the Secret Service was about to move, disappearing into the shadows of the crowd without a trace. Like ink dissolving in water, they vanished without a trace.
Subsequently,
The Secret Service interrogated those involved in the riots.
Bai Yuze naturally didn't want to go to the police station for questioning.
They walked very fast.
Behind him,
The smoke of battle has not yet cleared.
The cries, curses, and sirens were gradually left behind.
really,
He could never truly integrate into Dongqing City, a city blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
