Chapter 964: Ingenuity (Two Chapters in One)

"Hu..."

"Hua La, Hua La, Hua La..."

The wind was howling, and a lot of rain fell from the sky. In such bad weather, the small hill hanging in the sky near the wilderness in the suburbs did not shake at all.

After this small hill floating in the sky under the influence of supernatural powers was discovered, many people came here to watch early in the morning.

When the wind blew again, the onlookers had to leave, and now only some investigators stayed in place.

There were several large tents not far from the floating mountain.

The typhoon was very fierce now, and these tents should not have been blown away by the wind. Fortunately, there was a barrier made by spiritual tools to block the strong wind.

Several figures could be vaguely seen in the tent, and they seemed to be chatting about something.

Liu Jialin, with her wavy long hair tied up, walked out of the tent. She looked through the invisible barrier that blocked the strong wind and rain and looked at the floating mountain farther away.

"Captain." Zhang Xiao came to Liu Jialin at this time and shouted.

"Hmm?" Liu Jialin turned her head and looked at the other person.

"The people who are changing shifts are coming soon. Let's pack up and get ready to leave!" Zhang Xiao said, then raised his hand and yawned.

I worked the night shift all night yesterday and should have gone home to rest, but the floating mountain suddenly appeared, so I had to cancel my rest and rush to the scene.

Now another day has passed. Even for a practitioner, after staying up all night for such a long time, the body feels a little tired.

"They are here so soon?" Liu Jialin didn't expect the people who are changing shifts to arrive so soon, and was a little surprised.

"They completed the task in hand ahead of time, so they can come here so quickly to change shifts with us..." Zhang Xiao explained.

"I see, then let's hurry up and pack up and get ready for the change of shifts!" Liu Jialin said with a smile.

The two returned to the tent to pack up their things. A moment later, the people who came to change shifts with them arrived at the scene.

The car parked in the open space started, and Zhang Xiao turned the steering wheel to turn the car head.

Liu Jialin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, activated the spiritual weapon in her hand. In an instant, the violent storm that affected the car's driving was blocked by an invisible force.

Now the typhoon outside is fierce. If there is no spiritual weapon to block the wind and rain and protect the car, it is impossible to drive on the road.

Liu Jialin put the activated spiritual weapon in the storage box of the car, then took out her mobile phone from her pocket, opened the internal website of the Supernatural Management Bureau, and checked some information that was not known to the outside world.

Due to the weather, there is no car on the road now, so Zhang Xiao's driving process is very smooth.

Suddenly, Liu Jialin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, let out a surprised cry.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

Zhang Xiao heard Liu Jialin's surprised cry and asked curiously.

"Wang Jing and the others will be back the day after tomorrow."

"Ah?"

Zhang Xiao knew that Wang Jing and his group would go to the spirit world to perform a mission and would be gone for several months, so he asked immediately after hearing what Liu Jialin said.

"Why did they come back so soon?"

Liu Jialin shook her head and said, "It doesn't say why they came back so soon. I'll ask Wang Jing when I see her."

Zhang Xiao nodded, and then she let her thoughts wander and speculated.

"Could it be that the mission in the spirit world was completed ahead of time, so they came back so early?"

Liu Jialin proposed a different idea, "The mission in the spirit world is not easy to complete. Even if the mission can be completed ahead of time, it is impossible to come back so early.

As for the reason why they came back early, I think there is a high probability that it is because we are short of manpower, and the leaders also think this problem is very big, so they let them come back early."

After listening to this, Zhang Xiao felt that what Liu Jialin said made sense.

"Captain, after what you said, I think your guess is more likely to be correct."

As the two chatted, they talked about the floating mountain again.

"Captain, after the survey by those researchers, the floating mountain will not fall in a short time. We should not arrange many people to garrison there in the future, right?"

"It should be. As long as it does not fall in a short time, it would be a waste of manpower to send many people to garrison there."

"Captain, I have an idea. If the floating mountain keeps its current state, it can be developed into a tourist attraction..." Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

The reason why she had this idea was that she saw many passers-by gathering around the floating mountain to take pictures in the morning.

Liu Jialin said with a smile, "If it is really as you said, it can indeed be developed into a tourist attraction to boost the local economy."

Zhang Xiao said with emotion, "It would be great if we could have a good talk with that person and start cooperation."

Liu Jialin knew who the person Zhang Xiao was talking about, and relevant information immediately emerged in her mind.

"That person's origin is unknown. Although she hasn't hurt innocent people yet, her style of doing things is too bold and reckless. It's unlikely that she will cooperate with her."

…………

"A-choo."

Su Yue, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, suddenly sneezed. Lin Li, who was talking to her on the phone, heard the sound and said immediately.

"Cold?"

"I'm in good health! How can I catch a cold so easily?"

"Don't turn the air conditioner too low, or you'll catch a cold and complain." Lin Li said.

"I know! Be careful, there are a few people heading your way, hide in the bushes quickly..." Su Yue reminded.

Lin Li had learned from the previous experience of being killed as soon as he landed on the ground. After listening to Su Yue's reminder, he did not run to the house to find ammunition again, and quickly hid in the bushes not far away.

Su Yue, who sneezed, did not control the game character at this time. She got down from the sofa.

Then she reached out and picked up the air conditioner remote control on the coffee table, pressed a few times on the cabinet air conditioner in the corner, and raised the low air conditioner temperature by a few degrees.

"There are really people." Lin Li, who was hiding in the bushes, saw several enemies approaching.

"Why would I lie to you?" Su Yue adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner and sat back on the sofa.

Then she controlled the game character and quickly rushed to Lin Li's position for support.

"Should I sneak attack them?" Lin Li changed the gun in his hand, took out the sniper rifle, and aimed at an enemy not far away.

"Don't do it yet, wait until they finish fighting, and then we will sneak attack again." Su Yue was on the road, and when she heard Lin Li's eager tone, she quickly stopped his idea.

"Okay." If a game rookie wants to win, he must follow the plan of the master. Lin Li did not move and hid in the bushes.

"Bang."

"Da, da, da..."

The explosion sounded, followed by a series of dense gunshots.

Lin Li, who was hiding in the bushes, saw several teams fighting fiercely and people were constantly eliminated, and he couldn't help laughing.

"I'm here, now on the water tower, you can do it." Su Yue climbed up the water tower, occupied the commanding heights, took out a sniper rifle to aim at the enemy, and gave Lin Li an attack order.

𝓼𝓽𝓸55.𝓬𝓸𝓶

"My sword has been thirsty for a long time." Lin Li, who had been hiding for a long time, smiled and jumped out of the bushes immediately, running quickly towards the few remaining enemies in the distance.

After a fierce battle, the two won the final victory.

Lin Li said happily, "We have won nine games in a row tonight."

Su Yue looked like a master and responded in a very calm tone.

"It's just nine consecutive wins."

Lin Li looked up at the clock hanging on the wall and found that it was getting late, so he said to Su Yue.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, it's time to rest."

Su Yue also looked at the time after hearing this. She was not sleepy now, but she had played games for several hours, so it was time to rest.

"Well... let's stop here today and continue tomorrow."

"Okay." Lin Li responded, and just as he was about to end the voice call, he suddenly added to Su Yue.

"It's stormy outside now, stay at home and sleep honestly, don't run around."

"Huh?" Su Yue was confused after hearing this, and just as she was about to speak, Lin Li had hung up the voice call.

"What nonsense are you talking about? There's a typhoon outside now. If I don't stay home and sleep but go outside, I'll be blown away by the wind."

Su Yue raised her left hand, and her slender white fingers gently scratched her rosy cheeks.

Her rosy and shiny lips opened slightly, and she muttered a few words.

Then she threw the phone lock screen on the sofa, and then got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

…………

Ping'an Garden Community, on this stormy night, the entire community seemed particularly deserted.

Lin Li came to the window and looked at the neighboring community not far away.

Although it was very late now, according to normal circumstances, there were still some people who hadn't slept at this time, and the lights in their homes should be on.

However, when Lin Li looked at the neighboring community not far away, he found that no one's lights were on.

Obviously, the neighboring community had a power outage.

This typhoon was quite destructive, and it caused many power outages.

Fortunately, the maintenance team of the power supply department responded quickly. In a very short time, they repaired the faults in the power outage communities one by one and restored the power supply.

Previously, there was a power outage at Su Yue's house. Lin Li joked that the power would not be restored until the next day. However, after they played two games, the lights in Su Yue's house were on again.

"In such bad weather, she shouldn't run out to cause trouble like last night?"

"..."

"I hope she can be more obedient tonight."

Lin Li looked out the window through the glass, muttering to himself. After a while, he retracted his gaze and turned to the bathroom.

…………

At 12:30 in the morning, the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops fell on the window, making a crackling sound.

"Boom."

Thunder and lightning suddenly appeared in the dark clouds, and the bright silver-white electric light instantly illuminated the world.

In the quiet bedroom, when the thunder and lightning illuminated the world, the graceful figure lying on the bed murmured softly.

"Buzz..."

A pale golden light lit up in Su Yue's Dantian area, and invisible energy fluctuations appeared instantly. Some items in the room began to be affected and slowly floated up.

On the solid wood bookshelf in the study, the simple bronze mirror trembled a few times, and a joyful voice sounded.

"The master is going out."

Wisps of white mist overflowed from the crack of the bedroom door and quickly filled the entire room.

Not long after, the white mist that filled the room dissipated.

At this moment, Su Yue in the bedroom and the bronze mirror in the study disappeared.

…………

The more wind and rain there are, the more some lawless elements hiding in the dark can't hold back.

This typhoon is the strongest this year, and the impact range is very large.

In the past, there were patrol teams on duty on the river, and even in the middle of the night, the patrol teams did not slack off at all.

However, today, due to the influence of the super typhoon, it is difficult for the patrol team to work on the river, so the criminals took advantage of this rare opportunity and prepared to make a big move.

"Boom..."

One speedboat after another appeared in the rain, and strong men in raincoats stood on the speedboats, looking at the river bank in the distance with torch eyes.

"Brother, they are here." An outlaw with a light golden light in his eyes ignored the darkness, looked at the transaction object waiting on the shore, and said to the strong man beside him.

Lu Lin is 1.95 meters tall, with a fierce face, and his arms are thicker than ordinary people's thighs. After listening to the report of his younger brother, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Last time I told them that if they were late again, I would beat them up. It seems that they remembered what I said."

"Are we going to dock now? Or should we send someone to the shore to investigate first and make sure there is no danger before we dock." The cautious younger brother asked in a low voice.

"Let's follow the old rules." Although Lu Lin wanted to dock directly, he suddenly remembered that someone had told him that it is better to be safe than sorry before he set off, so he gave up the idea of ​​docking directly.

"Yes." The younger brother nodded and took out the waterproof walkie-talkie from his waist.

"The exploration team will go ashore first, and report back immediately after confirming that there is no danger."

A dozen seconds later, a speedboat left the team and quickly approached the shore.

"No way! The weather is so bad today, and there is no patrol team. They are still so cautious. They are really timid..." A fat man with a mustache on the shore complained.

The assistant wearing gold-rimmed glasses was a young man in his thirties, 1.84 meters tall, gentle and handsome. He reminded quietly at this moment.

"Boss, Lu Lin has a bad temper and can't stand others saying he is timid. When you meet him later, don't say such things in front of him."

The fat man with a mustache waved his hand impatiently, "I know, if they are the only ones with goods, I won't do business with such rude people."

The assistant wearing gold-rimmed glasses raised his hand and pushed the frame on his nose with his fingers. He didn't agree with the other party's complaints and waited quietly for the seller to go ashore.

After a while, the speedboat docked and the exploration team on the boat jumped ashore.

They exchanged a few words with the buyer, and then stopped staying, and then quickly dispersed, running around to conduct a careful exploration.

"Report, no enemies found around."

"Stay where you are and wait for orders."

"Yes."

The younger brother with the gold earrings on his ears received an accurate reply. Lu Lin, who was standing beside him, did not need him to report and immediately issued an order to dock.

"Tell the brothers to dock."

"Okay, big brother."

Speedboats loaded with goods began to approach the shore quickly, and the transaction was about to begin.
