This large cloud is caused by "stopping with silence" created by Mrs. Jia.
She had done this kind of thing in the Hope Star Territory, but the scale was much different, which was due to combat needs.
The actual strength that the old lady can exert is far more than these. After all, it is the highest level of cultivation.
She had been adjusting it some time ago, and now that the adjustment was in place, it was time to replace the elemental breath in her body.
Other supreme beings might not be willing to use the inner breath like this, but for her, it can be considered a necessity.
She wanted to investigate other supremes to consume her inner energy, but Qu Jianlei thought that it was not necessary and it would be better to create a long-term rainy weather.
The weather gradually changed without causing much concern to the others.
This is related to the old lady's micro-management ability, but at the same time, no one has considered that any supreme leader would consume his own internal energy in this way.
However, in the short term, Mrs. Jia's combat power is basically useless.
Both Qu Jianlei and Paranoid believed that this was not a problem, and it was enough for them to protect the manor.
The old lady is only responsible for consuming her inner breath. When she can't hold on any longer, she can just use the spirit gathering array to regain her breath.
She was in the manor herself, so it was very convenient to replenish her aura, and it was safer than going out to check on the supreme power.
Dark clouds gradually formed, and no matter what happened within these hundreds of thousands square kilometers, the old lady could not hide it.
Mrs. Jia created cloudy clouds for five days, and in some places the water vapor accumulated thick enough to cause light rain on its own from time to time.
On the sixth day, she finished controlling the water element and returned to the Spirit Gathering Array to rest.
After two days, because no one deliberately controlled the water element, the clouds gradually dispersed.
However, the old lady had recovered 80% of her spiritual energy and walked out of the spirit gathering array to control the water element again.
So unconsciously, half a month passed.
Mrs. Jia's inner breath has never returned to its optimal state, but the accumulation of water elements has been steadily improving.
In the end, a relative balance emerged. She controlled the water element for three days, rested for half a day, and recovered for half a day.
Because of her continuous manipulation, her whole body gradually became tired.
If you persist like this, you may suffer some injuries due to fatigue.
Considering that the old lady is old and may not have enough time to repair her injuries, Qu Jianlei and Paranoid will occasionally help her out for a while.
Xiangxue is just a little bit behind. Although she is a level A water attribute, her micro-management ability is really not good enough.
However, during this period of time, she had been observing the old lady's micro-management, which was also of great help to her.
Not just anyone has the opportunity to observe the same high-quality operations for a long time. She really made money this time.
After a month, the clouds completely stabilized. It rained for a period of time every day, and there was rarely sunshine at other times.
People in the meteorological department have become numb to this kind of weather. When others ask when the rain will end, they cannot give an answer.
However, this is not a bad thing. Before this, the air here was a bit dirty, but now the air quality is much better.
There is no reason for the government to forcefully interfere with this kind of weather.
On this day, Qu Jianlei finally perfected the ordinary Qi gathering array - there is still room for improvement, but it can be used now.
In addition to the three supremes in the team, there are four A-levels, two B-levels and one C-level. Such a gas gathering array is enough.
Qu Jianlei decided to rest for two days, and then asked Xiao Qin, "Qinghu hasn't sent any news about Balon yet?"
"I gave it twice a while ago," Xiao Qin replied in a deep voice, "but it was not accurate enough, so I didn't tell you..."
"He's on the move a lot now, rarely staying in one place for too long, and he's alert enough."
It's not surprising that people with high mental attributes have a stronger sense of danger than ordinary people with high spiritual attributes.
During this period of time, no one was monitoring the manor, and the old lady was very sure of this.
What Qu Jianlei didn't know was that just one day ago, the patrol headquarters carried out an EOD operation.
Halman was completely missing, and there was a high possibility that he would encounter something unexpected. The patrols made a judgment and checked his lounge.
Because they were alert enough, they discovered the fire explosive device left by the second-in-command.
This device is too sophisticated. Some people suggested that someone from the Supreme Being should be invited to carefully sense it and eliminate the danger.
But it's a pity that the Supreme Being is not so easy to hire, let alone doing this kind of explosive disposal work?
In the end, they had to dismantle some of the explosives and detonate them artificially.
The power of the fire explosion was not very great, and protective devices were erected around it, so the impact on the patrol headquarters was not great.
Mrs. Jia fully monitored the surrounding area and noticed this scene, but because the movement was very small, Qu Jianlei really didn't notice it.
The old lady didn't know what the patrol was doing, but she felt that there was no need to tell Panda everything.
As a member of the same group, she must take responsibility. This is the principle of life.
Group members must help and support each other in order to go further, and her supreme pride does not allow her to stay away.
The patrol detonation made very little noise, but the powder erupted was both poisonous and stinky, and they almost got hit.
The powder is mixed with poison, and what is rare is that it is actually mixed with paraquat.
This makes some people a little confused. Harman himself has a wood attribute, so why should he mix his own poison?
But the patrol boss saw another layer, "This... I'm afraid Harman used it to commit suicide!"
Harman buried the explosives in his lounge, which was originally a very scary thing. Who in the right mind would do this?
Many patrols agreed that he should have encountered a strong enemy, but the key question is - who is the strong enemy?
They tried to use surveillance to investigate when Harman planted the explosives.
Not to mention bringing explosives in, just talking about the construction of the lounge can't hide it from others, right?
Unfortunately, the patrols did not find much useful information because the image data about Halman was incomplete!
This is not entirely because there is a problem with the headquarters' monitoring, but that the relevant information has been manually deleted.
It was not Xiaohu who took action, but Harman himself.
The patrol headquarters is an important place for public security, and relevant information is generally retained for later verification.
But that's just "general". For senior patrol officers, they can delete information related to themselves.
This is against principle, but as a big shot, who wouldn't encounter some inconveniences occasionally?
Records that only relate to oneself and have nothing to do with headquarters affairs will be deleted.
Halman is the second-in-command of the patrol, so it is naturally convenient for him to delete some records.
He didn't delete many records. He only deleted four or five paragraphs in total over the decades.
But this made the patrols blind. They really couldn't tell when Harman's office was renovated.
Moreover, the second-in-command is originally made of wood, so it is very convenient to change the underground structure. If you modify it quietly, there will be no big noise.
In the end, everyone unanimously guessed that the record deleted more than a month ago was the most suspicious.
After all, except for this time, the last time Harman deleted his records was eight years ago.
Theoretically speaking, no one likes to sleep on fire for many years, right?
Now that the top leader's guess is revealed, everyone is even more curious.
In just over a month, Harman would provoke some powerful enemy, and even consider suicide.
Some people have already thought that Balon is looking for someone to deal with Rhodiola rosea recently. Could it be that the second in command is involved?
However, there is no fool who can think of this. Who would openly raise this conjecture?
Whether Rhodiola rosea is easy to mess with or not is secondary. The key is that the supreme name cannot be called directly.
Moreover, two supreme forces are competing against each other. Who dares to easily get involved in this super maelstrom?
They were even very confused: Harman was about to retire, so why did he get involved in this kind of thing?
However, although no one publicly raised the speculation, some people felt that they had found the truth, and they would inevitably say a few words in private.
After all this going back and forth, the gossip still got out.
But then, there was almost solid evidence - it was because of the tragic death of the landlord's family.
The middleman who passed the message was still found by the city guard - and what he found was the body.
There is no doubt that this person was silenced by a gangster from a higher level.
But the person who was silenced was not a good person. He actually set up a scheduled message and distributed it shortly after his death.
This person didn't know the inside story, and he wasn't even particularly sure who his superior's gangster was, so he only gave a guess.
But no matter what, he knew exactly why he threatened the landlord and what he said.
These messages were all sent out by him - if he wanted to make it difficult for him, then everyone would not have it easy.
The reasons that the landlord was still trying to hide were exposed by others.
No matter how careful the plan is, there may be mistakes. Human nature is too complicated.
The murder of the landlord's family was definitely a major case, and once the news came out, no one could suppress it.
——If Harman hadn’t died, maybe it could have been suppressed, but now there’s really no one in charge.
So the patrols also got the news: someone wanted to kidnap the landlord and force Rhodiola and his group to leave.
If someone combines the two cases, it will be easily explained: the mastermind of the kidnapping case was Harman, and he was killed for it.
If the Rhodiola team really took action, it would be normal for the four people to disappear silently, and it would be even more normal for Harman to prepare to commit suicide in advance.
As for Harman's motivation, it is still a mystery, but it is not very important.
Importantly, the two cases are likely to be related.
However, even so, it is impossible for the patrols to take the initiative to join the case - everyone has not lived enough.
However, as a senior A-level person, Harman has too many interests and acquaintances in Sky Blade Star.
The patrol headquarters must have an explanation for his disappearance.
So it didn't take long for them to submit a situation investigation statement to the planet's governor.
The description did not contain any speculation about the Rhodiola rosea team. It was a simple investigation report and did not even mention the landlord's case.
This is a clear statement: We can't investigate other matters, so please ask the higher-ups to send someone who can make the decision.
