"In short, your task for the next two days is to search this street, see if there are any disaster hairs under the abandoned ruins, or other unusual things...”
“Unusual things?”
“The power of disaster can affect the surrounding reality environment, how it specifically affects varies with the disaster...
Some disasters just standing there will distort everything nearby, some disasters will cause fires, and it is said that even more bizarrely, they can control humans...
We call this kind of influence 'disaster domain'.”
“The higher the level of a disaster, the higher the destructive power and range of the disaster domain.
Overall, we classify all current disasters into levels one to nine, but each level will have some aliases to visually represent their destructive power.
Just like a level nine disaster...
We usually call it 'World Destruction'.”
“World Destruction..." Chen Ling was stunned, "So a level nine disaster can really destroy the world?”
“Although it has an element of exaggeration, it is not far from true world destruction...
It is said that a world destruction level disaster has the power to completely extinguish a human realm." Qian Fan seemed to have realized something, lowered his voice and said, "Don't you know?”
“Know what?”
“Actually, the one that came out of your Zone Three the night before last...
was a 'World Destruction'.”
“!!!" Chen Ling's face turned pale instantly.
"Haha, I was just kidding with you." Seeing Chen Ling's reaction, Qian Fan smiled and patted his shoulder, "I heard that the disaster pointer in your Zone Three did explode, usually only when 'World Destruction' arrives does this happen...
But no matter how you think about it, it's impossible, right? It's been almost a hundred years since the last 'World Destruction' arrived, and if it were really 'World Destruction', Zone Three would have been extinguished in the first instance, how could it have survived until now?
So, I guess there is a disaster that happens to affect the disaster pointer.
Didn't your Han Meng enforcers fight it yesterday? It was confirmed to be a level five disaster, not a world destruction...
So, relax." Qian Fan stood with his hands on his hips, his face full of smiles.
But Chen Ling couldn't smile.
As the "culprit" who beat up Han Meng, Qian Fan's "level five" disaster, he knew exactly what was going on.
Stolen novel; please report.
The "level five" that Han Meng encountered was not really a "level five"...
It was simply because at that time, the 'audience expectation value' happened to be stuck at 14%-15%, and the 'audience' who seized the stage were relatively the combat power of a level five disaster.
And Chen Ling clearly remembered that the number of 'audience' that ran out at that time was less than one percent of the entire audience...
What if the 'audience' collectively fled? Does that mean...
a complete 'World Destruction' will come? Thinking of this, Chen Ling broke out in a cold sweat.
He had thought that the disasters in the 'audience seats' would be strong, but he didn't expect them to be this strong...
It was a super disaster with the ability to 'destroy the world'! "Alright, you better get to work." Qian Fan said contentedly.
"...Okay." As Qian Fan left, Chen Ling was left alone on the street of ruins.
He took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing the fear in his heart, and began to search in the rubble...
No matter what level the 'audience' was, they seemed to have to abide by the rules of the theater, as long as Chen Ling always maintained the 'audience expectation value' above 20%, nothing would go wrong.
[Audience Expectation Value -1] [Current Expectation Value: 32%] Two lines of characters were outlined in the rubble, then disappeared in an instant.
Since entering the law enforcement as an undercover agent, the audience's expectations have increased by 10% in one breath.
However, as time passed, it continued to decline at a stable rate.
At the current speed, if he does nothing, he will drop back to 20% in a maximum of 36 hours.
In the following time, Chen Ling carefully searched in the ruins, but after a few hours passed, he still did not find any clues or traces left by the 'disaster domain'.
To be honest, Chen Ling was also very curious about what exactly the disaster that ran out with his "audience" was.
"Chen Ling!" A voice came from not far away, and Chen Ling, who was seriously searching for clues, looked up to see his close friend Wu Youdong walking towards him.
"I heard they said you came early this morning?" Wu Youdong was sweating profusely, most likely walking all the way from Zone Three on foot.
"How come you're here so fast? Didn't you go home?”
“No, something came up.”
“Related to your brother?" Upon hearing this, Chen Ling suddenly raised his head, "What did you say?”
“Oh, when I passed by your house just now...
I saw Captain Han Meng right there, saying he was looking for your brother." Wu Youdong wiped his sweat and couldn't help but sigh, "But brother, your house is even worse than mine...
Are all the rooms full of holes?" Chen Ling directly ignored Wu Youdong's teasing and asked again, "Did Han Meng come to question my brother?”
“No, there was a tall man with silver-rimmed glasses standing in the house talking to him.
I didn't hear exactly what was said, but after a few words, Captain Han Meng left...
without entering the house." A tall man with silver-rimmed glasses? Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind...
he had actually forgotten about this! He had sent a message to Aurora City before, intending to have the "doctor" come and treat him, but with so much happening these days, it had completely slipped his mind...
now it seemed that the "doctor" had come as promised to treat him.
However, wasn't Zone Three sealed off? How did he get in? Various doubts flashed through Chen Ling's mind, and he urgently wanted to go home and see what had happened.
"I won't tell you for now.
My task is to relocate the surviving residents of Bingquan Street, and there are a lot of things to do." Wu Youdong glanced at the time, bid farewell to Chen Ling, and hurriedly left.
Since Han Meng was sent away, there should be no chance to interrogate Chen Yan, and the house should still be safe...
Chen Ling thought to himself as he quickly walked towards Qian Fan and the others.
The "doctor" was a completely unknown entity to Chen Ling, and he dared not let Chen Yan and the other person be alone for too long.
He had to go home, right away.
Creak— Chen Ling took a step and crushed a piece of brick in the ruins.
He looked down and saw a faint red color being pressed under the debris.
Chen Ling furrowed his brows slightly, bent down to brush away the debris, and the outline of that red color gradually became clear...
as he saw the full appearance of that thing, his pupils contracted sharply.
It was a broken amulet.
In the corner of the amulet, two small characters were embroidered— Chen Yan.
