Chapter 452 Assembly Order

"Here's the morning news for you..."

"Regarding the multiple violent incidents that occurred last night, currently..."

On the TV screen, a dignified female anchor was reading a press release. As an official media, it was naturally impossible for them to broadcast those false rumors. Their main task was to sort out the currently known information, calm the public's emotions, and remind residents to pay attention to safety.

"Tsk! Pay attention to safety. Can I pay attention to that just because I want to?"

At the dining table, a boy in school uniform who looked like a middle school student said, "Didn't you see that yesterday, our head teacher was nailed to the wall. The murderer was more brutal than the Terminator. He even punched through the wall behind Teacher Li. The scene was really bloody!"

"I can't even stop you from eating!" The boy's mother tapped the edge of his bowl with chopsticks: "Didn't you hear what they said on TV? Those were all emergencies... Besides, it's not as exaggerated as you said, that they could even break through the wall. You must have watched too many cartoons. Eat quickly and go to school after you're done!"

"Mother, why don't you let him go..." The child's father, wearing glasses and looking gentle, said, "It was all over my WeChat Moments and short video platforms yesterday. It doesn't seem like an ordinary violent incident. It's likely to be a supernatural phenomenon..."

"What do you mean by super natural? You look super natural to me!" The woman was furious when she saw her husband: "In half a year, the high school entrance exam will be here. Now is the critical time. If you don't go to school at any time, you won't be able to get into a good high school. You will be a failure like you in the future!"

"Why do you bring this upon me..." The man looked displeased, but he didn't dare to get really angry, so he could only mutter secretly.

At this time, the bedroom door opened and a long-haired girl walked out. She was tall and pretty, with a hint of indifference and a hint of sharpness between her brows... It was Ling Xin!
"Why are you getting up just now?" The woman saw her eldest daughter and hurriedly scolded her, "Hurry up and eat something and go to work. You're late on your first day. How will your boss look at you?"

Ling Xin didn't say much. She looked at her "brother" in school uniform sitting at the dining table and her "father" browsing his phone, and shook her head.

"Don't go out today. It's very dangerous outside."

"What did you say?" Mom's eyebrows shot up: "Not going out? Your dad doesn't have to go to work? Your brother doesn't have to go to school?"

"Take a leave." Ling Xin said calmly: "Stay at home today and keep an eye on the situation outside. If you find anything unusual, run away immediately. Home is not 100% safe..." As she spoke, she looked at the time and calculated silently: "Especially around 1pm. If you see any monsters or something causing a disturbance outside, get away immediately."

"What kind of monster are you? What crazy things are you talking about?" Mom banged on the table. "Your father and your brother are fine, but you just found a job and you're asking for leave. Is that appropriate?"

"I will go..." Ling Xin sighed. When she arrived yesterday, she was in this house. There were only her mother, a retired housewife, and her, an unemployed young person in the room. Before she could get familiar with the environment, the phone rang in the room. Then her mother handed her the phone that fell in the bathroom and watched her answer it.

The call was from the company she had interviewed with a few days ago, informing her that she had been hired and could report to the company tomorrow. Before Ling Xin could react, her mother cheered first. Her heartfelt joy actually made this girl who had lost both her parents at a young age feel a little warm...

Even though this warmth was false, even though this seemingly noisy family, which was actually full of the flavor of worldly life, did not belong to her, Ling Xin still didn't want anything to happen to them.

Maybe they are just a mission background, and don’t even have a past or a future, but at least they can get through these three days safely.

"I will go to work, but you must stay put and do as I say."

Ling Xin's tone was very firm, and her mother was a little stunned. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still insisted: "You can't not go to work or school... I think you are just worrying too much. It's not that chaotic outside..." As she spoke, she pointed at the TV: "Look, didn't the news broadcast that these are just emergencies? The police have already started an investigation. Let's not panic..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the female anchor on TV suddenly screamed. His brother widened his eyes and pointed at the screen, "Look!"

The whole family looked towards the TV, only to see a man wearing a half-face mask walk into the studio and push the news anchor to the edge of the screen.

"What happened?" The sudden situation made the father and son very excited. Ling Xin on the side frowned. She recognized the mask. It was Ye who once rescued her from the wild underground ruins!

However, before anyone could take a closer look, the screen suddenly cut to a commercial. Apparently, the studio had made emergency measures for this sudden incident.

"Look, Mom, it's really dangerous outside!" The younger brother shouted excitedly, "The terrorists have rushed to the TV station!"

"What terrorists?" Mom still insisted, "It was just an accident. The TV station has already made emergency arrangements. That means the masked man has been controlled. Maybe they will be able to resume broadcasting soon."

"I don't think so..." Dad pushed his glasses and analyzed from the side with the reflection of the lenses: "The TV station is not a vegetable market. You can't just come and go as you please... The fact that the masked man rushed into the studio in full view of everyone is very telling. And looking at the expression of the female anchor..."

"You're the only one who talks too much, right?" Mom glared at Dad, and the adult Conan immediately became as cowardly as a dog...

Just then, the show resumed.

"Look, you see? I told you it would be back in a while!" Mom pointed at the screen arrogantly. But when I looked closely, I found that the person sitting in the center of the studio was not the previous female anchor, but the masked man.

"Hello?" Facing the TV staff who were terrified and forced to cooperate, Luo Jun tried the microphone, cleared his throat, and spoke to the camera.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ye. Most of the audience may not know me, but I believe that there are at least 24 people in the city who have heard of me..."

"I came here mainly to send a message to these twenty or so compatriots."

"If you want to successfully complete our goal, please gather at the shopping center on Wanghe Road at 10 o'clock. I will be waiting for you in front of the main entrance. To thank everyone for their cooperation, I will give each of you 100 points as a thank you gift."

"Also, don't doubt my ability. I was the one who killed the source of the disaster last night. Believe me, if you want to complete the mission and gain the greatest benefit, cooperating with me is the only way!"

After saying this, Luo Jun left the studio, leaving behind the TV station staff who were still in shock.

"What the hell is going on?" Ling Xin's "brother" said excitedly, "Mom, did you see that? That mysterious man really hijacked the TV station! He is definitely not an ordinary person! What did he mean by gathering at the shopping mall at ten o'clock? I want to go and see, too!"

"No!" Before her mother could refute, Ling Xin stopped him first.

"I'm going to work. Remember my words, don't go out, take leave if you can, always be careful of danger, and don't get involved with the weirdos on TV just now!"

"But what about you?" Dad was a little worried: "Since it's so dangerous outside, you shouldn't go out... It's just a job, you can find another one..."

"I'm different." Ling Xin shook her head: "I may not come back to live these days, don't worry, the day after tomorrow night, everything will be back to normal..."

"You're not coming back to live? Then where are you going to live?" My mother got angry when she heard this: "Do you have a boyfriend? Don't just flirt with him casually. Be more reserved as a grown-up girl!"

"Mom's" concern warmed Ling Xin's heart, but she didn't have time to waste with them. She sighed, raised her hand to pick up a stainless steel soup spoon on the table, pinched it with both hands, and twisted it hard. There was a creaking sound of metal tearing, and the stainless steel spoon surface, which was more than one millimeter thick, was torn apart by her, just like tearing cardboard.

"Wow! Sister, are you performing magic?" The younger brother looked shocked. Ling Xin threw the spoon on the table. Dad picked it up and took a look. He took a breath and said, "It's not a magic prop. It's real stainless steel..."

"I'm not your sister, nor am I your daughter." Ling Xin came clean: "If you want to live, listen to me. The world has changed in the past few days!"

As she said this, she released her murderous aura, shocking all three of them before she pushed the door open and left.

"The shopping mall on Wanghe Road..." Ling Xin took out her mobile phone to search for the address. She found that it was not far away, so she went out and took the subway and soon arrived at the destination.

This is the largest shopping mall in the city, located next to the main road in the city center. Although it is not open yet, the subway station at the door and the vehicles passing on the road all tell of the prosperity of this place.

Night hasn't come yet?

Ling Xin walked around the main entrance of the mall as if nothing had happened, then chose a fast food restaurant near the main entrance to sit down. After ordering breakfast, she looked through the window at the main entrance of the mall and its surroundings.

Ye's approach was radical, but it was indeed the fastest way to gather teammates. Ling Xin had this idea before, but it would not only attract teammates, but also enemies. This method was very dangerous and she would not dare to try it without absolute strength.

But Ye was different... Ling Xin had seen him in the underground trial field. He had incredible innate bones. Even though his vitality was sealed, his physical strength exceeded most of the masters of Pei Yuan and even Ning Xin. And if he really killed the corpse king last night, then he must have recovered all his realms now, and may even have unlocked the legendary treasure.

With such strength, he is indeed qualified to stand on the stage.

I just don't know what this guy's plan is.

But it doesn’t matter. Even if the plan fails to be agreed upon, we should still gain something this time.

Ling Xin came here not only for the purpose of getting in touch with other teammates, but also for other purposes.

She believed that Ye's declaration would definitely attract polluters, and if she could take the opportunity to kill one or two of them, it would be worth the trip.

I was eating breakfast and waiting for a while. I didn’t see the polluter, but I did see a lot of ordinary people gathered near the entrance of the shopping mall.

They had all seen the morning news and came here to watch the fun. Several of them were even live streaming with selfie sticks... Humans are really unreasonable sometimes. It's easy to tell that the mysterious man who could occupy the TV station is a dangerous person, and yet they still dared to join in the fun. I don't know whether to say they are brave or stupid.

But soon, Ling Xin discovered that there were some suspicious guys among the crowd. They looked the same as others, but were obviously more alert and talked to themselves from time to time. With her extraordinary eyesight, Ling Xin could see that they were all wearing hidden headphones.

plainclothes?

That's right. Such a high-profile hijacking of a TV station could almost be considered a terrorist act. How could the police not take action? I believe there should be more police hidden in the nearby streets. Considering the violent incident yesterday, they should have prepared a lot of powerful weapons.

Time passed by minute by minute, and at nine o'clock, the mall opened as usual. The flow of people in and out made the main entrance more lively and attracted more people to watch the fun. At the same time, Ling Xin also saw some familiar faces nearby.

There was a tall man wandering back and forth across the street. He was Shi Yong from the Shuncheng Shi family. This guy was a leader among the younger generation of Aurora and was considered the most promising master of the Shi family to reach the top.

In a cafe not far away, there sat a young couple, both with dyed red hair. The man looked to be around 26 or 27 years old, and the woman was younger, in her early twenties at most. They looked like a couple who dyed their hair the same color, but Ling Xin knew that their hair was natural.

Chen Yan and Chen Fei from the Chen family in Suzaku Town are Chen Ran’s cousins, but their strength is much higher than Chen Ran’s. Especially Chen Fei, although she is a girl and a student at Kansai University, she is top-notch in both talent and ability, and is even considered the strongest contender for the next head of the family!
Not far away, the girl standing at the subway station entrance to enjoy the cool air was none other than Zhuge Lan, whom she had met once before when fighting against Long Hui...

There are quite a few masters attracted here. Ling Xin took a sip of coffee, squinted her eyes, then turned her head slightly to look at the entrance of the fast food restaurant... There is still one more.

"I didn't expect you to come too?" A slightly lazy voice sounded, and a man with long hair walked into the fast food restaurant, went straight to Ling Xin's seat, and sat down opposite her.

"If I remember correctly, you participated in a chaos mission at the beginning of the month, right?" The man smiled and looked at Ling Xin: "You are here, did you use a treasure?"

"This has nothing to do with you." Ling Xin snorted coldly and glanced at the man in front of her with a little dissatisfaction.

"Don't be so cold..." The man shrugged his shoulders: "Don't forget, Uncle Jue said that when you grow up, he will marry you to me!"
