I handed over my hands to express my gratitude to Master Hu San and Uncle Ban. If they had not arrived in time, I might not have been able to get out of the City of Wasted Death.
"Cheng Yi, our energy has been greatly depleted during this trip to Yincao, and it will take some time to repair it."
"So during this period before the catastrophe, I may not be able to come out to help you."
Before leaving, Mr. Hu San warned me.
"If something happens during this period, please proceed with caution."
I immediately said: "Don't worry, Master, I will do it."
Mr. Hu San didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and then disappeared from my sight together with Ban Xiaoyue.
Lonnie and I returned to the incense and candle shop, took out ten pictures without characters, and lined them up.
Although the ten uncharacterized cards have been gathered, everything is as usual. Except for the faint golden light flowing on the talisman, there seems to be no special phenomenon.
But Mr. Hu San said before that if ten pictures without characters are gathered together, it means having great luck.
Luck is invisible and intangible, and it won't even make you feel anything. You will still face various problems and challenges.
However, driven by the power of luck, you will make the most correct choice.
This force of luck is our greatest confidence in dealing with a hundred-year catastrophe in the future.
Putting the no characters away, I went back to my room to rest for the day.
The next morning, when I got up, I saw dark clouds outside, lightning and thunder, as if it was the end of the world.
Akang came over with his mobile phone and reported to me the abnormal celestial phenomena occurring in various places.
"Thousands of houses were destroyed by sunny thunderstorms in East China."
"It has been raining heavily for days in southern China. Local officials have issued multiple flood warnings, and residents have begun to evacuate their homes in an orderly manner."
"A strong earthquake occurred in central Jinzhong, killing thousands of people and affecting hundreds of thousands of people..."
I couldn't help but frown as I looked at the disaster reports that kept popping up on my phone screen.
The great calamity is approaching, and there must be visions.
The disasters occurring across the country indicate that a century-old catastrophe is not just on paper, but is actually coming to mankind.
For us in the Yin and Yang world, we have already known that such a process would happen, so we are not surprised.
But for ordinary people, this may not be the case.
If the disaster continues, hundreds of millions of people will inevitably fall into panic, and large-scale chaos may occur.
Therefore, measures must be taken to calm the frightened people.
However, I can only represent the Yin and Yang Realm. Such measures aimed at the public still require official intervention.
"Is there any official action?"
After reading the news reports for a while, I raised my head and asked Akang.
"According to the information we have received, officials have begun to report the news of the century-old catastrophe, but in a way that can be accepted by the public."
"Mr. Cheng, look at this news."
Akang said, pulling out a latest news report.
The news says that a once-in-a-century solar magnetic storm is about to hit, which will affect human communications, electricity, weather, etc., and will also cause some natural disasters.
In addition, because of the abnormal magnetic field, it may cause the human brain to fluctuate, and it is possible to communicate with different dimensions and see some spirits and evil spirits, so everyone should not panic.
It must be said that the wording of this piece of news is very strict, which not only allows ordinary people to know the impact of the imminent catastrophe of a hundred years, but also does not cause excessive panic.
It can be regarded as a qualified public relations article.
In the current disaster situation, it is understandable to use reports like this to appease the people.
Akang then talked about the specific measures taken by the government to establish shelter areas across the country to deal with the impact of the catastrophe.
"There are thirty-four sanctuaries in total, and light and shadow rune systems have been established in major cities to protect people from evil spirits."
"Each shelter area has sufficient power reserves and food, enough for people to live for two years."
It has to be said that the officials are quite thoughtful in terms of publicity and specific measures, and they have tried their best to take into account the feelings of the majority of the people in all aspects.
However, no one can guarantee how long the catastrophe will last.
Maybe half a year, maybe two years, maybe longer...
But the officials could not predict these, and they could not do more.
I was flipping through the news when suddenly there was a rapid sound.
I took the phone and heard Mr. Hua's serious voice from the other side.
"Cheng Yi, I have news for you. The Jin family has rebelled!"
oh?
I was slightly taken aback, but I wasn't too surprised.
The collusion between the Jin family and the Life and Death Sect is already a certainty. The Secret Service has long wanted to investigate, but because of the close relationship between the Jin family and the family, it has been unable to do so.
The last time Jin Jingting failed to renew his life and died, the relationship between the Jin family and the Secret Service was completely broken.
It was only a matter of time before the two sides fell out publicly.
Now that the Jin family has openly rebelled, I think there are only two possibilities.
Or, the Jin family had accumulated enough strength and thought they could compete with the official government, so they openly rebelled.
Or, the government has long uncovered the protective umbrella of the Jin family, leaving the Jin family with nothing to rely on and can only fight to the death through rebellion.
Then, I told Mr. Hua my analysis and asked him to see if my guess was correct.
"Hey, you guessed well, but you were only half right."
Mr. Hua chuckled and said mysteriously.
"Mr. Hua, what do you mean by only guessing half right?"
I asked confused.
"It's very simple. The Jin family's protective umbrella has indeed been found, but it's not the biggest one."
Mr. Hua said calmly: "Now, in order to protect themselves, the biggest protective umbrella of the Jin family has separated from the Jin family and demanded an attack on the Jin family."
"The Jin family was forced to flee back to the Qilian Mountains, rely on their ancestral land, and try to fight to the end."
I couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Jin, I hear what you want. The biggest protector of the Jin family has surfaced. Why not arrest him too?"
"Have no idea."
Hua Lao said helplessly: "That person has a high position and authority. If we catch him, it will have a great impact on the whole of China."
"Moreover, this person is extremely cautious and has never left any evidence of his collusion with the Jin family. Therefore, although we can confirm that it is him, we cannot act rashly."
That's it...
I sighed and asked, "Do you need me to do anything?"
"certainly,"
After hearing my question, Mr. Hua suddenly became interested.
"I came to you this time because I have something to ask for."
"I hope you and your friends can go to the Qilian Mountains and capture the leader of the Jin family, Jin Moyan!"
What?
I was stunned and didn't even react for a while.
Are you kidding me to capture Jin Moyan alive?
