The massive ergence of Erosion Dungeons and the explosion of Transcendents have rapidly decreased public security on Blue Star.
Spirit Fox expressed unease about the future, gazing out the car window, she slowly said:
"My intuition tells that the spread of Extraordinary Abilities may not be a good thing for Blue Star. However, as a player of the Abyssal Ga, I am a beneficiary of Extraordinary Abilities, so it seems I am not qualified to say such things."
Wu Chang shrugged his shoulders, advising:
"Don’t think too much about it. No matter what happens tomorrow, it’s not sothing you or I can decide. I told you back in Peaceful Town that when the sky collapses, there are always taller people to hold it up. We just need to hang in there."
Spirit Fox looked at Wu Chang with a knowing expression:
"In Peaceful Town, it was you who helped stabilize my mind, giving the courage to remain myself in dangerous environnts. If things beco dangerous in the future, can I still rely on you?"
Wu Chang’s heart skipped a beat. He already had enough trouble as it was, and now Spirit Fox wanted to involve him too.
Could it be that Fang Hui’s unlucky streak with romance is contagious?
He could only pretend not to understand, saying, "We are all colleagues. If you face difficulties, I’ll definitely help."
Seeing that Spirit Fox was not willing to let the matter drop, Wu Chang could only speed up the car to reach their destination quickly.
Under his driving, the two soon arrived at the East Lake District of Wanghai City.
The East Lake District is a new urban area of Wanghai City and has been the fastest-growing region in the last decade or two.
It is ho to many high-tech industries and internet companies, with average incos surpassing those of other districts. With higher average incos, improved and updated public facilities naturally attract more high-inco residents.
Seventy percent of the wealthy in Wanghai City gather in the East Lake District.
In the past, a concentration of wealthy individuals indicated better surrounding dical and education resources, which was a good thing. But now, for so people, such a concentration has beco a natural target.
The East Lake District Police Departnt has recently received nurous reports of burglaries, mostly from the villa district. Often the situations are similar, with ho doors and windows damaged, unknown individuals infiltrating hos, and taking away all valuable belongings.
After reporting, the police departnt retrieved nearby surveillance footage, but neither the reporting individual’s ho monitoring nor the communal and surrounding street surveillance captured images of the thief.
The thief seems like an invisible person, leaving the East Lake District Police Departnt helpless.
The information was reported to the Managent Bureau. After rely glancing at the scene, the bureau mbers confird that the perpetrator possessed Extraordinary Abilities.
However, whether the person was a player still requires further confirmation.
Apart from the burglary cases, the East Lake District Police Departnt also received several unexplained reports, including cases of disappearance and murder.
Away from the Abyssal Ga, what the East Lake District is encountering is the most direct impact of the spread of Extraordinary Abilities.
The misuse of Extraordinary Abilities.
Those who possess weapons naturally develop the intent to kill.
Suddenly acquiring power beyond ordinary humans, it’s hard to resist the urge to use it.
Prior to the spread of Extraordinary Abilities, with the economic downturn and widening social wealth gap, people’s resentnt was already growing day by day.
With the intervention of Extraordinary Abilities, those already filled with resentnt easily tread the path to evil.
The quick-money thods are all written in the criminal code. Previously, fearing capture, many people, even harboring ill intentions, would restrain themselves.
But now, possessing Extraordinary Abilities, those with a mischievous heart but lacking the courage are hard-pressed not to transform into lawbreakers, treating the criminal code as a part-ti employnt guide.
And the primary task of the Managent Bureau now is to handle these suddenly awakened Wild Transcendents.
Wu Chang and Spirit Fox patrolled around the East Lake District. When passing by a bank, Wu Chang sensed sothing, so he stopped the car by the roadside and slowly walked into the bank.
As soon as he stepped into the bank, his vision went black. Imdiately, a tal tube was pressed against the back of his head, and a dull voice ca from behind him.
"If you don’t want to die, squat down with your hands on your head."
