The sun was already very high up in the sky.
On the desk, the cup of A-grade coffee from the Nanzhou Kingdom was already completely cold.
Situ He was still leaning against the chair, not moving at all.
However, the book in his arms was not at all quiet.
One by one, strange and dazzling images swayed in front of his eyes.
Even if he closed his eyes, they were like gangrene attached to the bone, following him like a shadow.
Situ He had not moved for a whole seven hours.
Finally, he made up his mind.
He stood up, picked up a red phone on his desk, and dialed.
A moment later, the call was connected.
"This is Situ He!" He gave a serious order, "I order that from now on, the Blackguard of Jiangcheng City will enter a state of emergency!"
"All members of the Blackguard above the second lieutenant level are to immediately move out and disperse to all the streets and alleys in the eastern part of the city. Closely investigate and investigate all people or foreign species who illegally use spells!"
"If there is any resistance, kill without mercy!"
After putting down the phone, he dialed another number. After the call was connected, he said directly to the other side, "This is Situ He, please transfer to the commander-in-chief's office!"
About ten seconds later, a slightly magnetic and deep male voice came from the other side of the phone, "General Situ, how is the investigation of the tiger demon in Jiangcheng City going?"
"Commander-in-chief..." Situ He reported, "There is no result for the time being..."
"But..."
He sorted out his words slightly and briefly introduced what happened last night. At the same time, he also explained the order he had just given.
There was a long silence on the other side of the phone.
After a long time, Situ He heard the commander-in-chief say, "You did the right thing!"
"For such an unknown thing, we must cut off its connection with the outside world as soon as possible..."
"To prevent it from appearing in reality!"
"I will rush to Jiangcheng City as soon as possible..."
"Before that, we must cut off any people or foreign species who may come into contact with it in reality!"
A few years ago, the disaster in Fusang was because a group of ignorant young people had rashly come into contact with the demon that was sealed between dreams and reality.
Following that, the night of a hundred ghosts was staged.
The terrifying demon Tamamo-no-Mae almost broke free from the seal and came to reality.
In the end, it was the federal Blackguard who collectively mobilized and rushed to the rescue, that disaster was nipped in the bud.
Even so, the losses and casualties caused were still frightening.
"But..." Situ He advised, "In this way, it will definitely alarm others..."
The commander-in-chief of the Blackguard was the god of the transcendent being.
His every move would attract a lot of attention.
Once he came to Jiangcheng City, it was inevitable that he would alarm the enemies of the Federation in the foreign countries.
This might cause the problem to go out of control.
"It doesn't matter …" The person on the other end of the phone smiled lightly. "Anyway, if they want to come, let them come!"
His words were filled with unparalleled confidence and pride.
… …
As usual, Ling Ping'an opened the shop door.
He first fed the kitten Bastet some cat food, then bought two baskets of steamed dumplings and a bowl of tofu pudding from Aunt Cai next door.
Only then did he return to the shop and sit at the counter.
He turned on the TV and saw that it was still the morning news.
The sweet announcer, on the TV, reading the news.
"According to the Jiangcheng City Garrison Command, the Jiangcheng City Garrison and some reserve soldiers will conduct public drills in subjects such as national defense and security within the city starting today. This drill will introduce and popularize a variety of national defense weapons and national defense knowledge to the general public. At the same time, we will also carry out 'national defense education in schools' activities … "
On the TV screen, scenes of the drills in previous years appeared.
They were mostly about fire fighting, emergency, explosion prevention, evacuation, treatment, and so on.
Ling Ping'an looked at it, shrugged, and changed the channel.
It was still news, but it was national news.
"Today is the tenth day of the full-scale outbreak of the foot-and-mouth disease in Beizhou. Epidemic prevention experts and a large number of veterinarians from the Xisong Kingdom rushed to Beizhou with the brotherly love of the people of the Xisong Kingdom for their brothers in Beizhou and immediately threw themselves into the frontline of the epidemic prevention work!"
"Next, please watch our reporter's interview with the Minister of Livestock of the Xisong Kingdom, Wang Anming!"
A fair and chubby middle-aged man appeared in front of the camera and began to talk.
What big family of the Federation, when one side was in trouble, all sides would help.
What His Majesty, the King of the Xisong Kingdom, believed and was sure that the people of Beizhou would definitely be able to get out of their predicament and be reborn.
If it wasn't for the fact that Aunt Cai's steamed dumplings were really delicious.
Ling Ping'an suspected that he was about to fall asleep.
"By the way..." Ling Ping'an ate the steamed dumplings and muttered to himself, "What's going on with the foot-and-mouth disease in Beizhou? It still hasn't been controlled yet? "
"What are the bureaucrats of Beizhou doing?"
"Do they still want to work after this year's change?!"
As he said that, he turned off the television.
Then, he began to clean the shop.
In fact, his so-called cleaning was just casually mopping the floor and taking out the takeout boxes that had been piled up in the trash can in recent days and throwing them away.
Therefore, it didn't take him much effort to complete the task.
Then, he took out his phone from the trash can and found the laundry auntie from his contact list. He called her and said, "Aunt Wang, it's me, Ping'an..."
"I have some clothes here. I need to trouble you to take them and wash them for me..."
"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you later!"
"Sorry for the trouble!"
After hanging up the phone, Ling Ping'an suddenly felt that someone was looking at him.
He raised his head and looked at the few shops beside him.
The camera installed at the entrance of the shop was turning.
Ling Ping'an frowned slightly and waved his hand. He muttered, "What's going on?!"
… …
Situ He stood in the surveillance hall of Jiangcheng City.
Here, there were countless screens showing real-time images of all the main roads, streets, and main streets in the city.
Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a screen.
"Turn the seventh camera on the left!" He immediately ordered.
The order was immediately carried out.
Then, the image of the camera was directly cut to the big screen.
Situ He saw that at the end of the camera, at the edge of the screen, there was a shop that made his scalp tingle.
It was an old-fashioned three-story building with dusty tile walls.
"Is there any camera that can accurately see this place?" He pointed to a corner that was revealed at the edge of the screen and asked.
"Yes!" The technician immediately replied, "On the other side of this street, there are a few shop cameras that are connected to our system!"
"Switch it immediately!" Situ He ordered.
Thus, the big screen quickly switched.
Under the concentrated shots of several cameras, the full picture of the shop appeared on the screen.
Then, Situ He saw a familiar figure.
His thin body was wearing simple casual clothes.
He wasn't too tall, at most 1.75 meters.
The camera moved up and his face entered the picture.
It was a very young man.
His face was clearly captured in the photo.
It was fair and clean and didn't look strange.
He was wearing a pair of cheap glasses on his eye sockets.
He stood next to the trash can by the side of the road and threw a bag of garbage into it.
In the monitoring hall, all the staff looked at Situ He in confusion.
They didn't understand what was wrong with this ordinary young man?
But …
Situ He just stared at the person on the screen in a daze.
The morning sun fell on him and reflected his shadow on the ground. There was nothing special about him.
Situ He clenched his fists.
Then, he saw in the camera, a kitten, quietly following the young man.
Suddenly, the young man seemed to notice something. He raised his head and looked at the camera.
His brows were clearly furrowed under the high-definition camera.
He waved his hand and muttered something.
The entire electronic screen immediately fell into a snowflake.
Situ He immediately took a few steps back.
"General!" His secretary quickly held him up. "What's wrong?"
"Send someone to that block immediately!" Situ He ordered in a deep voice, "Find the trash can where the camera is!"
"Bring back everything inside without leaving a single thing untouched!"
"Remember, don't alarm anyone!"
