Wei Huo looked through the window of the room where the sound had come from and saw two middle-aged men in their 50s. The man was silent, while the woman was crying.
It was a reception room for petitions. There were two young office workers, a man and a woman, and an armed guard inside.
The two young men were a little helpless. They poured tea for the two visitors and then sat back in their seats without saying a word. The two of them were a little helpless. They seemed to be new here and didn't know how to deal with this matter, but they had already reported it to their leaders.
A young man told the woman, "You guys … Calm down. I've already asked the higher-ups. Someone will deal with this matter soon."
The woman seemed like she wanted to say something, but she was stunned by the middle-aged man. "Don't make things difficult for the two children. Wait for the leader to come. I believe he will handle this matter fairly."
Soon, a middle-aged man with a beer belly walked into the reception room.
The two employees and the guard looked solemn. "Director Wang!"
Director Wang was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants. His leather shoes were polished until they were shiny. As soon as he entered the reception room, the male employee went to pour him water. However, he said, "There's no need. I have a meeting soon."
Then, he looked at the two visitors. "I understand your son's situation. He died in the C7 residential area. At that time, the unfinished housing collapsed, and the equipment short-circuited, causing a fire. We are very sorry for your son's death. We have already contacted the person in charge of the construction site, and he has promised to compensate you according to the terms of the contract. Please go back."
Please go back. "The visiting middle-aged man was excited." This is definitely not an accident. If it was an accident, we would not have come here to petition. This is a murder. The house collapse is real, and the fire caused by the short-circuit is fake. This is destroying the corpse! "
Director Wang was very cold. "If you're not convinced, you can choose to sue the person in charge of housing construction in the arbitration zone. You can also hire someone to investigate. We can't listen to your one-sided words."
The woman stood up excitedly. "The arbitration zone and the person in charge of housing construction are in cahoots. They're protecting each other. How can we sue them?"
Outside the window, Su Xiaoyu explained, "There is a housing department in the Soaring Cloud City. It's managed by the administrative department. Due to the limited land area, private individuals do not have the right to build houses."
Director Wang frowned and said loudly, "If you don't sue, you'll be giving up your right to defend your rights through the law. There's nothing we can do."
The woman seemed unconvinced. "If you don't care, I'll wait here until I die!"
Director Wang glanced at the guard. "Contact the security office and get someone to take them away."
The woman seemed to want to make a scene, but the middle-aged man stood up. "We will leave on our own, but before we leave, I have one more thing to say. If you ignore the truth, you will cause a great disaster in the end!"
The moment the middle-aged man said that, he felt a wave of luck. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. There was no record of it even in the Luck Severance Skill. Wei Huo had seen everything that had happened. The moment the middle-aged man said that, he felt a wave of luck.
Luck fluctuated like the tide, rising and falling. Everyone's luck began to fluctuate. Suddenly, their luck increased, and suddenly, their luck decreased. This situation lasted for more than 30 seconds, and then everyone's luck returned to normal.
There was a saying that went, "Illness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth." There were some things that could not be said. Many eminent monks cultivated silent meditation because they were afraid that they would cause trouble if they spoke.
Some people had jinxed mouths, and the moment they spoke, trouble would come to them.
Some people were poisonous healers. If they said that someone would definitely die, that person would always be alive and kicking. If they said that someone was invincible, that person would be killed in the next second. There was another thing in this world called falg.
As long as one said that they would return to their hometown to get married after the battle, that person would definitely die. It was just like when Wei Huo had entered the immortal tomb. A group of Nagas had said, "Your Majesty, you will definitely return with a full load if you enter the tomb personally." However, Wei Huo had not obtained any treasures. He had come out after taking a stroll.
Wei Huo thought about it for a long time and felt that this was the power of 'words'. If he could comprehend it, he could kill without using a knife. He could poison the other party and they would die in the blink of an eye.
However, this time, the Soaring Cloud City would probably be in trouble.
Wei Huo asked Su Xiaoyu, "Has the Soaring Cloud City encountered any disasters in history?"
Su Xiaoyu was stunned at first, then shocked. She was bewildered and did not know what Wei Huo meant. She had always thought that Wei Huo was a great demon that could transform. She did not believe that a human could reach this realm.
She was very careful as she recounted what had happened back then. "Three years ago, before the armored wall was built, there was a huge disaster. Countless animals attacked the Soaring Cloud City. Those animals' eyes were red. Regardless of whether they were carnivores or herbivores, they did not kill each other. They only attacked humans. Fortunately, a group of people who were not afraid of death appeared at that time. Under the leadership of City Lord Ma, this group of people blocked these animals." Su Xiaoyu recalled what had happened back then.
Su Xiaoyu recalled that she seemed to have been to the battlefield in person, so she knew the details of this matter. "But those animals were endless. We killed one batch after another. Later, someone discovered that as long as a creature entered this area, it would fall into a state of madness. Until we killed all the creatures in this area, not even a baby was spared. During that battle, we ignited a forest fire and wiped out all the animals and plants around us. Nothing was left. Only then did we survive this crisis."
Wei Huo was curious about those people who were not afraid of death. He asked, "How many people are there who are not afraid of death?"
Su Xiaoyu recalled carefully. "I can't remember, but there were too many of them. Those people were not afraid of death. They crazily killed those crazy animals and died one after another. If that had not been the case, the Soaring Cloud City would not have been able to survive. At that time, Rare-ranked creatures appeared one after another. At least 10 people had to be sacrificed to kill a Rare-ranked creature."
Wei Huo was sure that most of those people were players. They had kept resurrecting and throwing themselves into the battlefield to stop the terrifying animals from going crazy.
If they triggered the animals to go crazy, they would either have to survive until the end of the frenzy or kill all the animals in the area.
"Where are these people now?" Wei Huo asked.
Su Xiaoyu replied, "The people who survived the battle entered Area B. Most of them became mutants because of the battle. Even if they did not become mutants, they entered the army and entered the upper echelons. They rarely come to Area C."
Wei Huo was suddenly curious about Area B. He had heard from Su Xiaoyu that if he wanted to enter Area B, he had to choose to join the Soaring Cloud City. Besides, he had to show his value. Mutants and researchers could enter 100% of the time. They could also enter after becoming soldiers.
Wei Huo counted a few rules and realized that he was completely suitable. Not only could he disguise himself as a mutant, but he was also very accomplished in electromagnetism. Besides, he was very rich!
Wei Huo asked, "How much money do I need to enter Area B?"
