Chapter 925: Unpredictable Weather (Two Chapters in One)
In the boundless spiritual world, strange things happen every moment.
"Boom!!!"
The sky was covered with clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain fell from the sky.
The rainstorm had been falling for several hours, and there was no sign of stopping.
And the number of silver-white lightnings did not decrease as time passed, but increased a lot.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
In a few seconds, dozens of lightnings appeared, illuminating most of the sky.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
A strange sound rang near the entrance of the cave.
"It smells so good!" Lin Li looked at the barbecue on the grill with a satisfied smile on his face.
Now it was noon, and it was time to have lunch, so Lin Li took out the grill and cooked the ingredients he had prepared in advance.
The ant head mushrooms obtained in the depths of the cave not long ago were rare ingredients, so naturally they were skewered by Lin Li and grilled on the grill.
The aroma of barbecue and roasted ant head mushrooms intertwined, forming a unique flavor that made people salivate.
"It's ready to eat." Lin Li looked at the roasted ingredients, pulled up the seasoning bottle beside him, sprinkled some chili powder and cumin, then picked up a skewer, pulled some fragrant barbecue into his mouth.
The fresh and tender barbecue tasted so good that people couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
After eating a skewer of barbecue, Lin Li picked up another skewer of roasted ant head mushrooms. After tasting it, his eyes lit up and he praised it.
"It's worthy of being a rare ingredient. The taste is really amazing."
The blue-eyed bird next to him rested with its back against the wall. It had eaten a lot of exotic beast meat before, and its stomach was very full, so it didn't envy Lin Li's lunch.
"Ton ton ton..."
A glass of fat house happy water with ice cubes downed, which really made people feel comfortable.
Lin Li ate and drank enough, and then he started to pack up.
It was thundering and raining outside, and there was no sign of the rain stopping.
I had thought that if the rain continued after lunch, I would just go home.
Lin Li packed up his things, glanced at the blue-eyed sparrow that was resting, and was about to leave when the thunder outside stopped.
"Huh?"
It had been thundering before, and Lin Li felt it was too noisy at first, but later he got used to it. Now that it suddenly stopped, it caught his attention.
Walking forward, Lin Li held the wall with his left hand and looked at the sky in the distance.
At this moment, the overcast sky was no longer thundering, and the clouds were much lighter than before.
"Is the rain going to stop?"
Lin Li was extremely surprised to see the weather change, and then he stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the sky in the distance.
In a very short period of time, the weather change was beyond his expectations.
The strong wind and heavy rain quickly subsided, and the sun appeared in the overcast sky.
The golden sunlight penetrated the gaps between the dark clouds, turning into beams of light falling from the sky, hitting the ground to form patches of bright areas.
"Chirp..."
The blue-eyed sparrow was very excited when it saw the rain stop.
It is best not to fly outside when it rains, of course, you can also force yourself to fly.
However, once the feathers on the body are wet by the downpour, they will soon fall from the sky, and then they are likely to fall to death.
"Why are you so excited?" Lin Li heard the crisp bird chirping beside him and looked down.
At this moment, he saw that the blue-eyed sparrow was very excited, flapping its wings from time to time. After thinking seriously for more than ten seconds, he had some answers in his mind.
"Chirp..." The blue-eyed sparrow raised its head and looked at Lin Li, making a series of calls, and then it flapped its wings.
"You are so anxious to leave!" Lin Li looked at the blue-eyed sparrow flying away and muttered to himself.
He didn't understand what the blue-eyed bird said before leaving, but based on what happened before, he could guess that the other party should have said some words of thanks, reminding him not to act recklessly and to be careful.
"Chirp chirp chirp... I hope this human can leave here alive." The blue-eyed bird circled in the sky for a few circles, looked at Lin Li standing at the entrance of the cave, muttered, and then flew away.
Lin Li originally planned to return to Blue Star, but now that the rain has stopped, he naturally has to give up the idea of returning to Blue Star.
If you want to get the mature supernatural fruit earlier, you can't slack off.
"Roar..."
There was a roar of beasts in the distance.
Lin Li listened carefully and found that as soon as the rain stopped, there were beasts in several directions.
"Very good, you all wait for me, I will go to you now."
Lin Li muttered, then he came out of the cave and went to the nearest place where the beast roared.
After waiting for the downpour to stop, the hungry beasts began to hunt, but they didn't know that because of their random shouting, they attracted extremely terrible enemies.
…………
Blue Star.
The sun is about to set, and the bright red sunset is very beautiful.
All the buildings in the city are covered with bright clothes under the sunset.
A terrible earthquake occurred at noon, and the impact is still continuing.
Now, whether on the Internet or in reality, many people are discussing the earthquake.
In the area where the earthquake occurred, there are several police cars of the Supernatural Administration Bureau driving.
Liu Jialin, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, frowned and looked at the phone, and Zhang Xiao, who was driving, said.
"Captain, this matter is not easy to investigate. It is to be expected that the culprit who caused the earthquake has not been found."
Liu Jialin read the information uploaded by her colleagues and put the lock screen of her phone back into her pocket.
Then she looked through the glass window at the people coming and going on the street and said.
"The previous practitioner who was able to use the white mist power has already given us some headaches.
Now that there is such a practitioner who can create earthquakes, it is truly a blessing, and misfortune never comes alone..."
"Sigh." Zhang Xiao let out a long sigh. Recently, the Superpower Management Bureau has encountered quite a lot of difficult things, doubling the pressure on every investigator's shoulders.
"Captain, I think this situation is largely due to our lack of manpower."
After hearing what Zhang Xiao said, Liu Jialin nodded gently, "Many people in the bureau have your thoughts."
Zhang Xiao added, “Although the temporary labor department has been added and several temporary workers have been hired to help handle some cases, in general, the manpower gap has not been filled.
In my opinion, the bureau should expand its manpower and completely solve the problem of manpower shortage. "
Liu Jialin was silent for a minute, and then spoke to Zhang Xiao.
"Wang Jing and the others will be back soon."
Zhang Xiao said, "I heard from others that the exploration team discovered an unexplored ruin space in the spiritual world, and Wang Jing and the others were sent to that ruin space to perform a mission.
According to some information I learned, they may not be able to come back in a short time. "
Liu Jialin raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows. After thinking for two or three seconds, she said, "I'll talk to the leader about expanding the manpower later."
"If the matter of manpower expansion can be put on the agenda and passed quickly, the pressure on everyone's shoulders will be reduced a lot." Zhang Xiao said to himself.
"There is a school ahead, please slow down a little..." Liu Jialin noticed that there were some more children on the street, and after thinking about it, she knew what was going on.
"Okay." Zhang Xiao nodded, then slowed down the car.
…………
It's time for school to end. There are many parents coming to pick up their children from school, and the school gate is crowded with people.
One after another, parents picked up their children and began to leave.
Many parents can be seen riding electric bicycles and carrying their children throughout the street.
The police car of the Superpower Management Bureau stopped on the roadside, attracting the attention of many people.
"Mom, look over there." Zhou Tongtong, who had a bun on her head, raised her little hand and pointed across the street.
Xia Qing turned around and looked in the direction pointed by her daughter's finger. She immediately saw two investigators getting out of the police car.
"Captain, we searched all afternoon, and the spiritual weapon finally responded." Zhang Xiao held a metal compass in his hand, and the pointer on it showed a very weak spiritual light.
"Since the spiritual weapon reacts, it means that there has been a very powerful spiritual energy fluctuation nearby." Liu Jialin said.
Both of them knew one thing at this moment. The practitioner who caused the earthquake was displaying his power somewhere nearby.
"Mom, what are those two investigators doing?" Zhou Tongtong asked.
"They should be working on a case, we shouldn't disturb them." Xia Qing said, and then took her daughter to the place where the electric cars were parked across the street.
Zhou Tongtong was carried onto the electric car. She kept looking at Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao who were handling the case, full of curiosity.
"Sit tight." Xia Qing reminded.
"Yeah." Zhou Tongtong withdrew her gaze, then grabbed Xia Qing's clothes with both hands.
The electric car started, and the mother and daughter left the school gate and returned home.
Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao looked at the spiritual weapon and, following its instructions, walked to the far corner of the street.
After a while, the two people came to the corner of the street, turned a corner, walked forward for a while, and stopped.
"Captain, this is it." Zhang Xiao saw the red light emerging from the spiritual weapon in his hand and knew that he had arrived at his destination.
"You are so brave to create an earthquake on the street." Liu Jialin looked around and said in surprise.
She originally thought that the culprit who caused the earthquake would find a remote corner to use his abilities, but she didn't expect that the other party would do it directly on the street.
And there are many restaurants on this street, so there is a lot of traffic.
According to experience, people who do bad things will basically do it secretly in a place with few people.
It can be said that it is extremely rare to do something like this in a place with a lot of traffic.
"Huh?"
Liu Jialin suddenly made a sound of surprise. There was a buffet restaurant in front of her, and now the restaurant was in a mess.
"Strange, what happened to this restaurant? Was it smashed?" said Zhang Xiao, who was standing aside.
"Ask someone." Liu Jialin thought for a moment and said.
"Okay." Zhang Xiao responded, and then went to a hot pot restaurant next door to inquire.
Liu Jialin crossed her arms over her chest and was thinking about something in her mind. A few minutes later, Zhang Xiao came back after leaving.
"How's it going? Have you heard about it?"
"Captain, as long as I take action, I will definitely get some information."
Zhang Xiao was very proud and explained in detail what she learned.
"It turns out that this store became a mess because someone was fighting." After listening to the explanation, Liu Jialin did not show any surprise on her face.
Fights in restaurants happen every day, and this is nothing new for investigators who often go out on patrol.
"Captain, could the culprit who caused the earthquake be related to what happened in the restaurant?" Zhang Xiao's mind was full of guesses.
"It's possible. Let's go check the surveillance now to see what happened at the time." Liu Jialin said, and then the two of them left quickly and rushed to the place where the surveillance was retrieved.
…………
In the teacher's office, Su Yue was tidying up the desk. After finishing her work, she didn't leave in a hurry, but opened the social software and sent a message to Lin Li.
"I'm off work, are you back?"
There was no response after the message was sent, Su Yue was not in a hurry.
It's still some time before the school closes, so she can wait for a while. If Lin Li still doesn't reply, she will go home.
"Dinglingling..."
The phone that had just been placed on the desk rang. Su Yue picked up the phone to check. It was an unfamiliar phone number.
"It's not another call from a salesman, is it?"
Su Yue answered the phone, and a nice female voice came from the other side.
"Hello, Miss, this is Sunshine Fitness Center. There is an event now. Get an annual card and get a 30% discount..."
Su Yue really guessed it right. The caller was a salesman.
She was a little speechless, silent for two seconds, and then refused.
"Thank you, I don't need it at the moment."
"Miss, if you sign up for an annual membership now, you will get 18 extra classes."
"What classes?"
"Yoga classes, as long as you sign up for an annual membership, in addition to 18 free yoga classes, you can also choose a special fitness coach for one-on-one coaching."
The salesman at the gym kept talking, and Su Yue couldn't interrupt him even if she wanted to.
After waiting for a long time, the other party finally stopped to take a breath.
At this time, Su Yue, who had a slight headache, spoke up.
"I understand what you said, I'll think about it..."
"Miss, there are so many discounts, why are you still hesitating? The deadline is coming soon, hurry up and get an annual membership." The salesman at the gym bewitched.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would be persuaded by the salesman at the gym, and then run to get an annual membership.
Unfortunately, Su Yue didn't buy it, because she had a membership card of a nationally renowned high-end gym in her hand, and it was a lifetime membership card.
"I have some things to deal with, so that's it for now." Su Yue was afraid that the other party would talk endlessly again, so she quickly found an excuse to hang up the phone.
"Ding Dong."
As soon as the phone was hung up, a message popped up right above the phone screen.
"I'm back, what's the matter?"
Su Yue saw the message from Lin Li, a charming smile appeared on her face, and then her slender fingers jumped quickly on the screen.
"Have you had dinner? If not, let's find a place to eat together."
