Chapter 7: Blockade of the Entire Area

That afternoon, the screams on Frost Street almost never stopped.

Chen Ling, the instigator of all this, quietly sat under a tree with his head propped up, eating melons with the onlookers around him... and paying attention to the changes in [audience expectations].

At the beginning, when Uncle Zhao spanked Zhao Yi, the audience's expectations would increase slightly, but after a few spankings, the growth stagnated and finally settled at 48%.

After watching for a long time, the expectations dropped by 1% to 47%...

It seems that the audience also feels a little bored.

"Are all the audiences in my mind fun people?"

Chen Ling couldn't help thinking.

Through this experiment, Chen Ling has been able to determine that the audience's expectations change according to their own actions. If the events they are experiencing are exciting enough, the expectations will rise, and once there is no fun for a long time, the expectations will fall as time goes by...

Doesn't that mean that if he wants to maintain the expectations above 20%, he must continue to create "exciting plots"?

Today, Zhao Yi provoked him first, and the other party was a bully from Frost Street, so it was understandable to teach him a lesson... But this kind of thing can't happen every day, right?

If this pattern continues, isn't he destined to become a big devil who brings disaster to the world? ?

Thinking of this, Chen Ling felt a little tired...

Now Chen Ling's only lifeline is the Aurora City [doctor] that Dr. Lin mentioned. Maybe he can remove some disaster pollution in his body and save him from the life trajectory of this "passive fun person".

Just as Chen Ling was thinking, a low bell sounded from a distance!

Ding-ding-ding! !

The three bells rang, as if they could penetrate the space and echo in every corner of the world.

The moment they heard the bell, the faces of the people around changed, and even Uncle Zhao, who was chasing Zhao Yi, stopped and looked into the distance in astonishment.

"Three disaster bells?!" An old man looked extremely ugly, "How is this possible?"

"The ringing of the disaster bell is a warning signal given by the law enforcers, indicating that they have found traces of the intersection of the gray world in the region, and there is a disaster invasion..."

"Isn't it said that the Aurora Realm is protected by the Aurora and will hardly intersect with the gray world? In the past ten years, the number of disasters has not exceeded three times..."

"Where is the disaster now?"

"I don't know... Anyway, go home quickly! Don't come out if you have nothing to do!"

Hearing the three disaster bells, everyone's faces were all pale. Zhao Yi, who had just been beaten and screamed, his legs softened and he knelt directly on the ground.

The ground under his feet trembled slightly. Chen Ling turned his head and saw more than a dozen fast horses galloping from a distance.

On each fast horse, there was a figure wearing a black and red uniform, with pistol holsters slung across their waists, and their faces were also extremely solemn.

"A suspected high-risk disaster has appeared! The three districts are completely blocked! No one is allowed to enter or leave!!"

"Pay attention to all suspicious signs around you, such as roads or buildings that appear out of thin air, mysterious creatures with strange appearances, and even humans with abnormal behavior!!"

"If you find anything unusual, report it to the law enforcers immediately!!"

"Everyone, please cooperate with the investigation!!"

The voices of the law enforcers echoed in Frost Street and every corner of the three districts. With the sound of the disaster bell in the air, an inexplicable sense of tension enveloped the world.

At this moment, no one was interested in eating melons anymore. Everyone hurried home. Even Zhao Yi was dragged into the house by his father with a scolding after eating a big mouth.

Chen Ling stood alone under the tree, preparing to go home. At this moment, two lines of characters flashed in the fallen leaves——

[Audience expectation +18]

[Current expectation: 65%]

Seeing the audience expectation soar, Chen Ling was stunned.

The next moment, a creepy thought suddenly jumped into his mind...

"They... are not coming for me?!"

...

District 3.

Enforcement headquarters.

The dim sunlight shines through the hemispherical glass dome, refracting the colorful light to illuminate the room.

A flag more than ten meters long is hung high in the center by ropes. On the black background, two blue hexagonal stars overlap each other, like the shining stars in the Arctic night sky.

At this moment, under the flag, more than a dozen law enforcers in black and red uniforms look serious. They stand in a row, facing the direction of the headquarters gate, as if waiting for something.

As the gate opens, five law enforcers in black windbreakers walk side by side.

Among the five people, Han Meng walked in the center, with four silver lines engraved on the hem of his windbreaker, while the other four only had three lines. With their arrival, all the law enforcers present stood at attention at the same time.

"What's the situation?" Han Meng asked in a deep voice.

"The disaster bell has rung, and the three districts are currently under full blockade, but there is no trace of the disaster..." A law enforcer hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Brother Meng, the disaster pointer self-destructs... What does it mean?"

"There are only two situations for the disaster pointer to self-destruct." Han Meng said calmly,

"The first is that a special disaster is coming around, and the power of this special disaster just makes the disaster pointer ineffective... But this explanation only exists in theory. So far, no such disaster has been found."

"The second is that there is a level 9... collectively known as the "world-destroying" level disaster invasion around, and its residual energy fluctuations exceed the limit of the pointer, and it explodes automatically."

"Destroy... Destroy the world level??" Everyone's face turned pale.

"Don't be so nervous... You don't really think there will be a 'world destruction' coming, do you?" The law enforcement officer next to Han Meng chuckled,

"A 'world destruction' level disaster can wipe out an entire human domain. There are only a few in the entire Gray Realm... If there is really a 'world destruction' coming, let alone the three districts, even Aurora City will probably be reduced to ashes the moment it descends."

Hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief...

"So, it should be just a special 'disaster'?"

"That's the only explanation at the moment."

"But the disaster pointer is broken, how can we rate it?"

"It can't be rated." Han Meng shook his head, "Unless it appears again, and then we fight it... The most important thing now is to use all the manpower to search it and find it before it actively hurts people."

"Carpet search... But we may not have enough manpower."

"Then temporarily call on the law enforcement officers in the reserve seat. Didn't the literary test end a few days ago? Gather the qualified group of people and tell them that this is a martial arts test."

"Yes!"
