"Huh, why did the power go out!"
The mont the lights went out, Su Yue’s pupils instantly shone with a brilliant gleam.
This is typical for a martial artist; when familiar surroundings change, they instinctively beco vigilant.
The originally bustling lobby suddenly fell into chaos.
In the entire lobby, only a few ergency lights barely glowed, but the light was very faint. Within seconds, various phone flashlights turned on, flickering brightly, making the hall colorful and uncomfortable to the eyes.
People in so places began to clamor. With the infrastructure level in the Divine Land, Cengyan City hadn’t had a power outage for a long ti. People accustod to bright lights found the darkness sowhat novel.
Dai Yuegui frowned.
As he watched the noisy and jubilant crowd, an ominous feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Power outage?
For a big mall, this theoretically shouldn’t happen.
Cengyan City has backup ergency power supplies, and malls have mandatory generators.
Within a minute, power should be restored.
The crowd was noisy, easily making people lose track of ti.
Unknowingly, three minutes had passed, but there was still no sign of power being restored in the mall.
"Everyone, we’ve had enough fun. After all, the college entrance exam is tomorrow, let’s all go ho early!"
"Get so rest, aim for extraordinary performance tomorrow!"
Dai Yuegui stood up, ready to send everyone ho.
For so reason, he felt increasingly uneasy.
"Why on earth is the power out? It’s really frustrating!"
A girl sighed.
"Listen to the officer, everyone go ho, we can co out to party after the exam!"
Su Yue also said.
The crowd began to pack up using the light from their phones.
...
"Murder! Murder!"
...
Just then, a scream suddenly ca from the first floor.
Su Yue and their group were on the second floor, and everyone rushed out.
Indeed, at the first-floor exit, Investigation and Arrest Bureau personnel began to evacuate the crowd.
Soone had truly died.
And not just one person, but three.
They seed to be trying to leave the mall, ready to go ho.
But the front door wouldn’t open.
"The back door is deadlocked, welded shut, can’t be opened."
Suddenly, soone exclaid near the back door.
...
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
...
Before people could ponder over the back door, several muffled sounds suddenly ca from the basent, deafening even causing the mall floor to tremble, and so store glass counters began to crack.
"Is it an earthquake?"
Soone exclaid, and the crowd instantly panicked.
"It’s not an earthquake; everyone maintain order to avoid a stampede. Stay in place and don’t move!"
Investigation and Arrest Bureau personnel used loudspeakers to maintain order.
Five squads were dispatched for this carnival, along with a Grade Four deputy director leading them, so the order was relatively maintained.
"Indeed, it’s not an earthquake, it seems sothing is cracking."
Su Yue perked up his ears.
It seed like sothing enormous and heavy made of iron.
If his judgnt was correct, the iron container held so kind of liquid.
...
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
...
A few seconds later, the sa vibration was felt from above the roof.
The crystal chandelier fell, dust began to fall from the ceiling.
With the crowd so dense, the chaos intensified further.
...
Lu Xinrong was the deputy director responsible for security this ti, with Grade Four initial-stage strength.
He was standing at the very center of the lobby, commanding the Investigation and Arrest Bureau to maintain order.
It’s simply maddening.
The back door was welded shut, impossible to open.
This door is made of special materials, violent force can’t break it open.
The front door is a bit better, though locked from the outside, it would take so ti, the Investigation and Arrest Bureau could open it, but the crowd was already becoming impatient.
Damn it.
This carnival brought many families of martial artists, if any accident happened, his life wouldn’t be enough to pay for the consequences.
At this mont, Lu Xinrong could already confirm that soone was trying to use the carnival as a cover to conduct fear activities.
Yangxiang Sect.
It must be them, no doubt.
"Director Lu, the elevators are down, can’t be used.
"Three doors leading to the basent, two are completely welded shut, we can’t open them, only one remains... inside, there seems to be soone, a martial artist, we’ve lost three brothers.
"The martial artist inside seems to be smashing water tanks, we can’t get in for now, but they’re not coming out either.
"Moreover, these people can combine attacks, a few of them together can unleash second-grade martial artist deadly moves. We can’t breach!"
Reported a squad leader from the Investigation and Arrest Bureau.
He was at the pinnacle of Grade Two, but tried several tis, failing completely, nearly losing his life once more.
The martial artists in the basent weren’t actually strong, most were Grade One, and they looked like Qi and Blood Martial Artists.
But they could combine their power and multiply their damage, making them terrifying.
And this group in the basent smashing water tanks, they were definitely up to no good; the Investigation and Arrest Bureau even slled a strong scent of blood inside.
...
"Director Lu, three doors leading to the rooftop, one welded shut, two remaining, but there’s a martial artist blocking us up there, we can’t reach!
"Sa situation as the basent, this group can chain attacks, Fifth squad captain, seriously injured, two team mbers dead."
Another team leader ca to report.
"Ah... why is there water dripping upstairs... oh, it’s not water, it’s blood, it’s blood..."
Suddenly.
Liquid began to seep from cracks in the roof that were jolted open.
At first, people thought it was water, but upon closer inspection, it had a crimson color.
"Everyone rest assured, this building won’t collapse, I guarantee it with my reputation, I was the foreman back then."
