The spiritual energy has revived, and all the exercises I compiled have been practiced.

Chapter 95: Panic (Please subscribe, please vote)

Tai'an is not that big.

The two of them flew for only two or three minutes before they reached Sihai Mall. If it weren't for the need to avoid the eyes and ears of passers-by, they could have gone even faster.

"This is Sihai Mall."

At the intersection, Fang Qiuchan pointed to a huge, slightly old, six-story building in the distance.

"This is an old shopping mall built in the late 90s. It was once very famous in Tai'an, but now it can't keep up with the times and is out of fashion."

"It is said that a few months ago there were rumors of bankruptcy and liquidation, and the boss ran away, but now I don't know what is going on."

Fang Qiuchan recalled some rumors: "When I was looking up information at the police station, I found someone reporting that there seemed to be an organization similar to pyramid schemes in this mall, but the public security department raided it several times and found nothing."

Kong Ji listened and looked towards Sihai Mall.

Although it is an old shopping mall with outdated facilities, it has become prosperous again due to the recent influx of population into Tai'an.

There was a constant flow of people coming in and out of the mall.

In the square in front, people of all ages can be seen chatting and shopping.

People were gathering in groups of three or four, discussing recent unusual events, with rumors surfacing of aliens invading the Earth.

Even some people who may watch a lot of short videos seemed to remember Kong Ji’s spiritual energy revival video that went viral on the Internet, and joked with their friends that it was very likely the spiritual energy revival.

"What a prosperous scene, but there is no clue from the outside."

"Unfortunately, the devil is so strong that he can't hide it from me."

The magic power in the body continues to circulate, infusing the five senses and generating all kinds of divine powers.

In Kong Ji's spiritual perception, the entire mall seemed to exude a dark atmosphere of disorder, chaos, doomsday, decay, depravity, blood, and killing, dyeing the surrounding void pitch black, and the pervasive spiritual energy also carried a deep demonic nature.

"I didn't look carefully enough on the plane before, but now that I'm here in person, I've discovered some clues."

"What's with that faint smell, as if someone is praying?"

Standing at the intersection, Kong Ji searched with his eyes and listened with his ears, and unexpectedly discovered that in the chaotic atmosphere of decay and corruption, there were faint voices of some men and women.

Listen carefully.

Those sounds seemed to be someone praying.

"Save the suffering. Bodhisattva, bless you. Power."

".Get five million."

".Doomsday, carnival."

".world"

There was a deep desire in the voice, accompanied by wisps of deep and profound light green smoke, which rose straight up from the mall, and were then infected by the chaotic evil around it, turning black and emitting a terrifying aura of madness and confusion.

"What did you find?"

Fang Qiuchan stopped and narrowed her eyes. "I felt a little uncomfortable when I came here a few times before. I didn't expect that after just a few days, this uncomfortable feeling became even more severe. It actually aroused my blood and true energy. It seemed to be rioting. I had to regulate my breathing to recover."

"Your feeling is correct."

Kong Ji nodded and said, "This mall is really not as simple as it looks. Doudou's parents are also employees of this mall. They were very loving until they started quarreling a month before Doudou was born, and their relationship was no longer harmonious."

"I think it's very likely related to this place. Let's go!"

"Go in and have a look."

The two of them immediately walked towards Sihai Mall.

There was a constant flow of people, a lot of noise, and the sound of people discussing could be heard all around.

"I'm telling you, the spiritual energy has definitely revived now. Do you remember the previous video? It feels the same as the current situation in Tai'an. It's a pity that it was taken down, otherwise you would have known it at a glance."

"What spiritual energy revival? Don't be ridiculous. How can such a fictional thing really exist? It's just a video made up by internet bloggers to attract traffic." "It must be aliens. Just like in science fiction movies, aliens have taken a fancy to the living environment on Earth and want to launch a cleanup plan to transform the Earth into a planet suitable for them to live in."

"Bullshit, it's been so many years, there are no aliens?"

"With the popularity of smartphones, where are the photos of UFOs now?"

"That would be the end of the world, like in anime, where the natural world would undergo a major change, causing drastic changes on Earth."

"The more you brag, the less reliable it is. Let's see what the country says. Anyway, it's not a loss for me to come here now. I feel much better now."

"The news said they were still investigating and that it might be an unknown virus in nature or something like that. I don't think that's reliable."

People were talking a lot.

Fang Qiuchan looked around and said to Kong Ji while checking the situation: "We don't know how long the higher-ups will keep it hidden. It's useless to hide it in this situation. It's better to announce it directly, which is worse than the current panic."

"Things are not as simple as you think."

Kong Ji shook his head: "If spiritual energy is recovering globally now, then we can announce it. Now it is only in a certain area and the area is not too large. Who dares to make it public? I am afraid that all the more than one billion people in the country who can run will have to run here. If that happens, society will not function, the economy will collapse, and the world will be in chaos soon."

"You have to give a reason, right?" Fang Qiuchan frowned and said, "It's not good to just let it go."

"You can find any excuse you want, but the solution is what's important." Kong Ji said faintly, "Before the spiritual energy fully recovers, maintaining peace and stability in the entire society is the top priority."

"That being said, what do you think?"

Fang Qiuchan was furious when she heard this. She grabbed two handfuls of hair and said angrily, "I am an accomplished master. I have been running around these days and have been so busy that I have no time to sleep. Now my hair has started to fall out. If this continues, I don't know what I will become."

She actually held a strand of black hair in her hand.

I don't know if it fell off because she was too tired or if she pulled it off with force.

Kong Ji thought the latter was more likely.

For masters who have achieved success in cultivation, apart from being reborn and losing hair during the marrow cleansing process, it is almost impossible for this to happen no matter how hard they work on a daily basis.

Sitting cross-legged in meditation for one hour is equivalent to eight hours of sleep for an average person.

With this kind of energy, he can easily work 996, so how could he possibly become bald?

"We can only formulate some strict policies to find a way to drive away the crowds." Kong Ji thought: "Improving living conditions, prices of goods, housing, temporary residence permits and other means, taking action from a legal perspective, and then giving a legitimate reason to minimize panic may be effective."

"What remains is to strengthen management and strictly prohibit illegal and criminal activities. I believe that after a period of time, the situation will get much better."

At present, most of the people who travel thousands of miles to places like Tai'an are young people with nothing to do, and occasionally there are some tourist groups and those who are bored.

The majority of people in society are those who have a stable life, a career to pursue and a family to take care of.

This part has not taken action yet, or has not made up its mind to take action.

As long as the authorities take tough measures to strictly control the situation, high housing prices, high commodity prices, purchase restrictions, material control, etc. will automatically dissuade a group of people from leaving. In addition, with measures such as temporary residence permits, those who do not have them will be deported. I believe that no one dares to go against the country and they can only obey.

Most of them will definitely leave by then.

"That's true." Fang Qiuchan agreed, "But your method is only a temporary solution and will not cure the root cause. Sooner or later, it will be useless."

Kong Ji smiled and said, "We will hold on as long as we can. Once most of the world is covered by spiritual energy, we can completely let go and enter the next stage."

"Who knows how long it will take for the aura to fully cover everything?"

Fang Qiuchan spread her hands.

Kong Ji shook his head: "Maybe soon, maybe slowly, it depends on the situation."

The two of them walked and talked, all the way from the first floor to the top floor of the mall, and even visited the toilet and the rooftop, but they still didn't find any clues.

"There's nothing unusual on the ground. The only possibility is underground."

Kong Ji pressed the elevator button: "Let's go to the parking lot and take a look."
