The explosion was located in the central area of the film and television base, and everyone could see the billowing smoke rising from the explosion.
"Mr. Police Officer, I'm sorry, I have to deal with this matter." Yin He, who was talking to Director Pan, had already stood up, and Director Pan also stood up and said with a smile: "As we said before, Ms. Yin, Those cultists will definitely not be at peace if they sneak into this place. Will you leave such a safety hazard? I don’t think so, then this explosion was probably caused by those cultists.”
"No matter who they are or what their reasons are, if they dare to act recklessly here, they will have to pay a price." Yin He said coldly, "Such behavior can be classified as a terrorist attack, Mr. Director."
Director Pan smiled and said: "That's right, so we need the help of all the responsible persons to bring these people to justice."
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Xiaohua? Have you already gone to the scene? If there are suspicious people, don't let them go, arrest them immediately. That's right, arrest them, we won't go through the investigation process."
After hanging up the phone, Director Pan looked at Yin He again: "Don't worry, our people have already gone to set up the net. Since the other party has come to your door, there is no reason not to arrest him."
Area 25 has been shrouded in thick smoke. The explosion and burning of three warehouses released a large amount of smoke, many of which contain harmful components. As the fire spread, even if the firefighters arrived in time, it would be difficult to contain the man-made disaster.
Hanamachi squeezed out of the car carrying large and small bags, and looked at the scene with some nerves. There were still a lot of people here, and they were running away in panic. It was not easy for her to filter out the problematic people.
"In emergencies, let's follow the authority, alas..." Hanamachi sighed and opened a package on the right side. Something black like ink spurted out from the bag, covering the entire No. 25 area in an instant.
[Pandora's Box], Hanamachi's best negative emotion control method, has a very obvious effect in controlling the scene. The fleeing people all slowed down in an instant, and the dejection and numbness on their faces were no longer affected by the flames and smoke.
"How is the fire?" Hanamachi asked a firefighter.
"The burning area has been controlled, but the smoke is very heavy and the risk is still high. In addition, the source of the fire has not yet been discovered. If it was a man-made arson, it would not be said that the crisis has been resolved." The firefighter quickly answered.
"The arsonist... I'll come find him." Hanamachi took out a kettle from his backpack.
Ignoring ordinary people to carry out such explosions and arson, this person definitely has considerable malice in his heart. Hanamachi shook the kettle in his hand, and a little black substance appeared in the translucent pot.
Everyone has evil thoughts in their hearts, including Hanamachi himself, but if he can suppress it with reason, there will be no problem. Hanamachi walked inside with a kettle in hand. As she got closer to some people, the black substance would rise, and then fall again when she moved away.
At this time, more people gathered outside Area 25. Their purpose of coming was very clear - to watch the excitement.
The problem caused by this was that when Lu Ning and others arrived, they were stopped outside by security. She even saw Chen Anhui from the fan group, who was also standing in the crowd. He noticed Lu Ning's gaze and shrugged, saying that there was nothing he could do.
So among the members of the four groups now, unless someone happens to be in Area 25 when someone explodes, the only ones who have a chance to get in are those from the base group.
It is slightly more difficult for tourists to obtain information...
Just as he was thinking this, several cars drove up and quickly stopped in front of the isolation zone set up by the security. Some people got out of the cars. Lu Ning saw Yin He and Yun Shu, which meant the remaining people. He is probably one of the six responsible persons.
Parker from Rufus Real Estate has a typical Western face, with blond hair, short beard, and a smile. Wang Huaien from Jiaoxing Technology is a man in his late fifties, but he is still in good spirits. He looked seriously after getting off the car. Looking in the direction of the thick smoke, he held his cell phone in his hand and kept typing and recording something.
Fei Haojun of Dawen Lock Industry is a figure so burly that one could think of him as a basketball center. The honest look on his face is as deceptive as Yun Shu's previous childishness. The person in charge of Xuetu Electronics is a woman whose age is hard to tell, named Gui Yaoying. She wears a mask and coughs twice from time to time. She seems to be in poor health.
For such a big event, it is normal for six people in charge to be present together. However, most of the people present could not recognize these people. They only knew that some big shot was coming. The security guards made way for the six people in charge and the people they brought to pass. Many people took photos with their mobile phones, and no one stopped them.
"Those people probably have a lot to say." Lu Ning looked at the people who were working hard to take pictures, "The editors can make up countless titles about the explosion."
"But the heat created by these people can expose some of the flaws of those behind the scenes." An Youxi said.
That's right, the people behind the scenes - after each contacted people they knew in the past, everyone became more certain about the situation behind the scenes. Although they didn't communicate much, they all knew that the people they knew would not be the instigators behind this scene. .
Lu Ning does not guarantee that anyone here has mastered the mantra. If they have mastered it, they will definitely be able to see the hints of the mantra gathered in the sky above Area 25.
Like a rainbow, but not as colorful. At least nine more mantras are staring at the ground above the sky.
This is a "sacrifice" formed by an organization of believers.
Mantras are not directly interested in human death, but they may be animated by fear, excitement, or ritualistic behavior. For believers, this means pleasing the mantra. In the final analysis, it is actually an act of spontaneous organization by believers.
"Ah...that's really annoying."
Lu Ning heard someone whispering next to her. She turned around and saw that it was Mei Yu.
She no longer had the same timid attitude as before. Instead, she gritted her teeth as she looked at the situation in District 25 in front of her. Lu Ning was a little surprised, but she also knew that Mei Yu must have someone to rely on.
There's a problem though.
According to some ritual knowledge that Lu Ning learned from Dong Hemo (Zhu's knowledge unexpectedly did not include rituals), the executor was actually not necessary at all, nor did he need to be present at the scene in person. The ceremony venue can be arranged in advance, and the trigger only requires the entry of some specific people. It may even be possible that no one present is aware of the event.
Can these people be inferred from ordinary criminals?
There must be a lot of believers in the nine mantras. Lu Ning looked around. After all, these people are still human beings, and they are people who have gained transcendent power in the ordinary world. Among so many people, there must be some who cannot hold back. Come and see the "masterpiece" made by your own hands.
Anyway, blending in with the crowd, what's there to worry about?
Lu Ning quietly shuttled among the crowd. It might be difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them, but for her, as long as these people wore any mantra-related items on their bodies, she could make the most basic distinction.
Unfortunately, these people seemed to be very cautious. Lu Ning ran for almost a hundred meters without seeing anyone wearing anything suspicious.
"doing what?"
Her sleeve was pulled by someone, and when she turned around, she saw a cheerful Tan Ya.
"Have you finished discussing the script?" Lu Ning asked.
"Originally, I only have so many roles, but I came running here. What's going on? Tell me quickly?" Qin Ya looked like she was watching the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.
"It seems like someone did it on purpose." Lu Ning lowered her voice, "I'll see if I can find the suspect."
"Suspect? Demolitionist? Do you think that person might be hiding in the crowd to watch the scene he caused?" Tan Ya immediately understood what Lu Ning meant, "It's interesting, why don't I come and help?"
"What can you do?" Lu Ning asked unexpectedly.
"Oh, this is more professional." Qin Ya raised her chin proudly, "Those who are just watching the excitement or those who come to watch for some purpose will have different expressions and actions from others."
"I know that." Of course Lu Ning has learned similar things, but the general micro-expression science also requires you to first find out the benchmark through some questions before you can make a psychological judgment. It is quite difficult to look at it directly.
"For example, that guy." Tan Ya leaned in Lu Ning's ear and pointed to a man in loose clothes a little further in front of the two of them, and then pointed further to a young girl, "And that guy .”
"What's wrong?" Lu Ning took a look. The man looked at the explosion area with an indifferent look, while the girl was holding up her mobile phone to take pictures. There were many similar people next to her, and it was difficult to tell the difference.
"Gee, don't you feel emotions so obviously? The man - he's rejoicing, and the girl is fearful."
This is completely inconsistent with their apparent behavior.
"Are you serious?"
"Hey, I'm very sensitive to people's emotions. For example, you don't have much doubt about me now. You don't need to ask this question at all." Tan Ya smiled softly, "How about we verify it?"
verify?
Qin Ya reacted faster than Lu Ning. Before Lu Ning reached out to hold her, her fingers were already on the man's shoulder.
Although the man looked indifferent, his energy was highly concentrated. When he was suddenly touched, he immediately turned his head and looked over, and saw Qin Ya's smiling face.
"Hey, does this have anything to do with you?"
What kind of person would act so recklessly?
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he was about to yell back with a rude expression, but in the next second, his expression changed, from rude to cold.
"Aha." Tan Ya laughed happily.
The man's face began to distort, and his facial features rolled into a spiral, but the people around him didn't seem to notice it. He raised his arms, his palms began to turn into a spiral state, and he roared like a storm.
Then his face was grabbed by Qin Ya.
Lu Ning could clearly feel that Tan Ya was very happy now. She did not hide her emotions at all. At this moment, Tan Ya gave people a sense of danger that was even greater than that of the man.
boom!
No one knows what the result of the spiral can be. The man's body was blown to pieces as if by a directional explosion. All the fragments on his body, including his flesh and blood, entered some blue light spots on the way, and none of them fell. On the people nearby.
When Qin Ya lowered her hand, Lu Ning seemed to have returned to reality. This is similar in many ways to the situation where the insect believer killed the old man before, but it is definitely not the effect of "silence".
"you……"
"I feel better." Tan Ya exhaled, "How is it? Is my perception of emotions okay?"
It seemed that she really just wanted to prove her ability to judge emotions, but Lu Ning could not see through this woman more and more.
"But if you kill him, how will we get the information?"
"Why are you so anxious? Isn't there another one over there?" Tan Ya looked at the girl who didn't know anything yet, "Let's catch a few more, because we can't kill the chicken on the spot to scare the monkeys."
Lu Ning felt that she probably had the original intention of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Although Qin Ya has shown a dangerous side, it has to be said that her ability to judge emotions is indeed gifted. At least Lu Ning knows that it is difficult to achieve such results through acquired training. Not only does she have this excellent ability to judge emotions, but she also expresses her personal emotions quite openly. Emotions such as happiness, dissatisfaction, and anger can be felt without even looking at her facial expressions.
The second girl was much easier to deal with. After Qin Ya touched her ear and whispered a few words, the girl nodded tremblingly. Then Qin Ya found two more men who looked like brothers. , these two people originally tried to resist, but they were immediately captured after Qin Ya raised her hand.
"Three, how about it?" Tan Ya and Lu Ning took her out of the crowd and looked at her proudly, "My hit rate is 100%."
"Thank you...but what exactly is that thing on your hand?"
She repeated the same trick twice, and Lu Ning also saw the patterns painted on Qin Ya's nails. She should have been wearing fake nails on the set before, which covered them, but now she could see them directly.
That should be the mantra, but it is one that Lu Ning cannot identify.
"I can't talk about such private things in public. After all, it's already my specialty." Qin Ya smiled slightly strangely, "Let's cross-examine first. I want to know what exactly you want to know. What are we going to do? What new intelligence can be gained from this.”
She was very excited now, Lu Ning could feel it.
"...Okay." She looked at the three people. They were obviously the cultists related to the explosion just now, but they remained silent at the moment. They followed them honestly along the way, not daring to run away at all. Lu Ning glanced at him and pointed at one of the brothers: "Come here."
The man responded and walked over carefully.
