"Okay." Luo Qian took the report and began to read. The more he read, the more serious his expression became.
On the white paper was a black and white photo of a large figure riding a tall horse away from the street corner.
The time on the CCTV showed that it was three in the morning.
From the huge figure, if Luo Qian was not wrong, it should be the statue in the middle of the Diamond Bridge business street.
The statue … had come to life?!
Luo Qian's expression was grave.
Fortunately, the events of the Cataclysm in the past few years had sharpened Luo Qian's mental fortitude. Even though he was shocked, he quickly recovered.
"Hurry up and get the CCTV records. We must find the statue's exact location!" Luo Qian had just given the order when a subordinate rushed in. "Director, the missing statue has been found in the square."
Luo Qian was stunned. He rubbed his temples. "What did you say? The statue has been found? "
"Director, the statue has been found in the middle of the square. A large number of people have gathered to watch."
Luo Qian took a deep breath and said seriously, "Hurry up and evacuate all the people in the square. Wait … "Luo Qian then wondered if this would alert the statue.
He suddenly could not understand the statue's thoughts. Even though he did not know if the statue was the culprit, there was still a high chance that it was.
The most suspicious statue had walked all the way from the Diamond Bridge business street to the square. Could there be some unspeakable secret behind this?
Luo Qian was in a dilemma.
However, it was necessary to evacuate the onlookers. If the statue was provoked and went on a killing spree in the center of the square, it would cause a huge mess. Then, he would probably be done for in his position.
"Don't make a big fuss. Try not to disturb the statue. Then, disperse the onlookers. At the same time, don't allow anyone to enter the magnetic mouth square. From now on, except for the military and the police, only people can leave the magnetic mouth square, not enter!"
"Yes, sir." The officers left.
Luo Qian's expression was grave as he hurried to the backyard of the police station.
The backyard of the police station was completely sealed off. Even most of the police officers working at the station didn't have the authority to enter. As a result, the backyard of the police station had become a mysterious place. There were all kinds of rumors. Some said that there was a super familiar locked up inside, while others said that the elite troops of the police station were inside.
The backyard of the police station was a wide open space. There were two sentry booths on both sides of the open space. Luo Qian entered the building and walked down a ladder. After passing through a few secret doors, he arrived at a modern high-tech hall.
Magnetic Mouth was a famous business district in Yuzhou City. However, unlike the Adamantium Bridge business district, which focused on entertainment, the Magnetic Mouth business district mainly sold materials and monsters.
The Magnetic Mouth Business District was a little deserted today.
Gao Peng was planning to buy some monsters for his experiments.
However, in order to ensure the accuracy and accuracy of the experiment, Gao Peng had to do it himself and see if he could pick up any leftovers.
If there were legitimate shops that sold monsters from legitimate sources, there was also a place called the Black Street that sold monsters from unknown sources.
The grade of the monsters here had never been tested before. If you were lucky, you might even be able to buy a perfect grade monster and bring it home. Compared to the legitimate shops, the prices of the monsters on the Black Street were much cheaper. Coupled with the gambling atmosphere, many people were willing to buy familiars there.
The prices of the monsters in the legitimate shops were clearly marked. After the purchase, an obsidian stone and a quality certificate would be sent to the buyer.
Obsidian wasn't cheap, and because of the high cost, it was more expensive.
However, there were also after-sales services that the Black Street didn't have. As long as the problems weren't caused by the after-sales service, there would be a "warranty".
Gao Peng naturally wouldn't go to a legitimate shop. He didn't need to spend that kind of money.
However, Gao Peng was disappointed after visiting a few shops. Most of the monsters in the black street were of Normal grade. The only ones that were of Excellent grade were much better than their Normal grade counterparts, and the prices for them were much higher.
As for perfect grade monsters, Gao Peng didn't see a single one.
However, these monsters weren't in good condition. Gao Peng noticed that many of them were quietly curled up in the corners of their cages. Some of the more timid monsters were even trembling.
If Gao Peng hadn't been able to see the monsters' attributes, he would have suspected that they were infected with some kind of disease.
After paying the deposit, Gao Peng left the address and walked out of the Black Street. At the end of the Black Street was a spacious plaza. However, there were several police cars parked near the plaza's entrance. One could only leave, but not enter.
Gao Peng stood on his tiptoes and scanned the plaza. He wasn't expecting to see anything, but as soon as he stood on his tiptoes, he saw a statue standing in the middle of the plaza.
Why does this statue look so familiar? Isn't this the statue of Guan Yu from the Diamond Bridge Commercial Street?
Gao Peng looked at it suspiciously.
In the next moment, a row of weak data appeared in the corner of Gao Peng's eyes.
[Monster Name]: …
Hiss —
Gao Peng closed his eyes and turned his head away. Oh my God, what the hell is this?
Isn't that a statue? Why is there a monster's data?
However, if a mountain spirit can be born, it's only natural for a statue to become a monster.
[Monster Name]: Animated Bronze Statue (Guan Yu)
[Monster Level]: Level 41 (Lord-tier)
[Monster Grade]: Excellent
[Monster Attribute]: Metal
[Monster Skills]: Copper Skin, Iron Bones Level 3
Extraordinary Endurance Level 1
[Monster Weakness]: 1. Mud
2. Lightning
2. Items rich in the power of corruption
[Monster Description]: This was originally an ordinary statue. After being eroded by the power of wish, it gained life. The more active elements and spiritual energy completely activated the life force, evolving into a living statue.
Power of wish? It shouldn't be faith. This and faith were two different things.
Gao Peng knew very well that there were no places to burn incense or worship in the Diamond Bridge Commercial Street. At most, people would pay attention to the statue when they passed by.
If it wasn't faith, then it must be something else.
Gao Peng frowned. He had always been cautious and didn't like to meddle in other people's business.
However, he couldn't just sit by and watch such a monster go on a rampage in the middle of the city, especially when it was within his power.
He took out his phone and dialed his grandfather's number, briefly explaining the situation.
"The Yuzhou City government didn't tell me about this," said his grandfather. "In the past, they would tell me when something like this happened. This time, they didn't tell me." His grandfather's tone was calm.
Gao Peng understood his grandfather's meaning. "But these people don't know."
"The Thunder God is closer to you. It will come as soon as possible."
This animated statue wouldn't be able to cause much trouble in Yuzhou City, but Gao Peng was more worried about other areas.
Things like the Animated Statue of Guan Yu were common in China, which had a rich history. In addition, there were those things that had crawled out of the First Emperor's tomb … He could only hope that his worries were unfounded.
Gradually, the people in the square felt that something was wrong. There were fewer and fewer people in the square, and there were also policemen stationed at the entrance.
Quietly, the atmosphere in the square of the magnetic mouth became serious.
Some sensitive people quietly left the square.
