My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 47 Don't Worry

for several days.

Zhou Ping, Chen Xue, and my aunt all stayed in the Special Security Department and never even stepped out of the door, but they were always paying attention to the news outside.

noon.

In the cafeteria.

My uncle frowned. "The security and special departments have been busy these past few days. Although they've locked down several people, they still haven't found the gathering point of this evil organization. Xiaoping, are you sure these bastards won't leave Jiangcheng?"

Zhou Ping shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure, but from the information I've received, there's an 80% chance that the members of the evil cult won't leave before the sacrifice is complete."

Listen to this.

My uncle continued with some worry, "I'm afraid this sacrificial event is no small matter. Captain Wu and his men have never been so busy with previous vicious incidents. They've always looked very solemn when they've returned. Xiaoping, you're a quasi-cultivator, and you can enter the cultivator's home and get a lot of information. Tell me honestly, is this time different?"

Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and briefly explained the posts he had seen on the forum and the impact of the posts in the following days.

"High-ranking priest?!"

My uncle's face changed slightly.

Zhou Ping asked, "Uncle, you're a criminal investigator. Every intersection in Jiangcheng City is under strict surveillance, and the community is also under investigation. As long as the other party is a cultivator, it's basically impossible for them to escape. How do you think those guys will complete the high-level sacrifice?"

"Hard to say."

My uncle frowned and said, "Cultivators have different abilities and various methods, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid the clues Captain Wu and his men have are just a cover, just like before."

"I remember you saying that after they caught you, they said you were chosen and couldn't be changed."

Zhou Ping nodded, "Yes, I did."

"If you're a chosen prospective practitioner, there's really no way to change your mind. I think they're still keeping an eye on you and the Special Security Department."

My uncle's voice was a bit solemn. "Since it is a high-level sacrifice, it must be a matter of great importance to the evil organization. Those two practitioners failed, and they will continue to send practitioners in the future."

Zhou Ping's expression turned stern.

If my uncle's guess is true, then his current situation is indeed very dangerous.

After all, after the incident on Nanhe Road, Captain Wu and his men knew about their situation, and it was very likely that the evil organization also knew about it.

Once some methods are used, they are no longer trump cards.

Therefore, if the members of the evil society are still keeping an eye on him, the strength of the practitioners he sends out will not just be at the level of just crossing the Qi training threshold.

After dinner.

As soon as I walked out of the cafeteria, I ran into Captain Wu and his team.

See this.

Zhou Ping and his uncle hurried over.

"Captain, how's the situation?"

Captain Wu didn't say anything, but said, "Let's go to the meeting room first. Lao Chen, you come too."

Soon.

The main conference room of the Special Department Building.

The practitioners and the veteran detectives from the security department all sat at attention.

Captain Wu stood in front, looking at everyone and said, "The General Administration has just issued a Level 1 security document. From now on, not only our Special Security Department, but all practitioners in the entire Jiangcheng City will be under control, and evil organizations will be strictly investigated."

"This is the specific content of the document, everyone please take a look." Soon a cultivator sent the document to Zhou Ping and the others.

He scanned it with his eyes.

My uncle and other veteran detectives all looked solemn and serious.

Captain Wu's voice rang out again, "Everyone has seen this, the situation is very serious right now. In addition to Jiangcheng, as of now, twenty cities across the country have experienced vicious sacrificial rituals. The number of deaths of quasi-cultivators exceeds 300, and the number of ordinary people killed is as high as thousands. There is no doubt that this is a nationwide sacrificial operation organized by the evil organization..."

"The General Administration requires us to uncover the members of the evil cult hiding in Jiangcheng within three days. We will never allow such malicious incidents to occur in Jiangcheng!"

"Yes!"

End of the meeting.

Captain Wu called the director of Jiangcheng Resources Co., Ltd. and the director of the national base. They also received orders requiring all practitioners in the company to unconditionally cooperate with the Special Security Department.

Zhou Ping and his uncle were walking together.

"Xiaoping, it seems this incident has a huge impact. The country is taking it so seriously. The purpose of the high-level sacrifices performed by the evil cult members is not simple."

"You have to protect yourself. Even in the security department, you have to be cautious and vigilant."

My uncle reminded me.

Zhou Ping nodded, and he also realized the seriousness of the matter.

After a while.

Captain Wu called Zhou Ping over and said solemnly, "Zhou Ping, we know that 12 prospective cultivators are missing. They must have used formations to conceal their whereabouts, so it's difficult to pinpoint their exact locations."

Zhou Ping hurriedly asked, "Captain, what about near Nanhe Road?"

"I've searched everywhere, and there's nothing. But I'm sure of one thing: the reason they haven't performed the sacrifice yet is because they're missing the sacrificer, you."

Captain Wu said in a deep voice, "So, as long as nothing happens to you, the sacrifice won't be completed. Next, don't go anywhere else. Stay in the seventh underground level of the Special Section. Eat and sleep there. There are formations and methods left by Foundation Establishment cultivators. If the evil organization dares to get close, they will be triggered. I'll have Xue Ji guard outside. If you need anything, tell her."

"Understand?"

"understand!"

Zhou Ping replied seriously, then said, "Captain, what about my aunt and uncle?"

Captain Wu said, "They will also be sent there, but not to the seventh floor. Don't worry, the evil organization is targeting you. If they really take action, they will only find you directly... Our special unit is not so easy to enter. If they delay here, they will not be able to escape even if they want to."

Speaking of which.

Captain Wu asked hesitantly, "Zhou Ping, you killed those two evil sect practitioners with your Spirit Bullet Technique, right? Have you ever taken any banned drugs?"

Zhou Ping quickly shook his head, "Captain, I have never come into contact with banned drugs. After I purchased the Spirit Bullet Technique, I only practiced it a few times and it felt very easy."

Seeing that Zhou Ping didn't seem to be lying.

Captain Wu grinned. "I believe you, kid. I just need to do some tests. You and Xue Ji will go together later. If it is confirmed that you haven't used any banned drugs, it means that you have a very high talent in magic. Then I will apply for permission for you to enter the practice room."

"Don't worry about what's happening outside. Cultivation strength is the most important thing."

Zhou Ping's eyes lit up, "Yes, Captain!"

He had long wanted to enter the combat training room. After all, only there could he compete for resources with the students of the Taoist Academy.

Before leaving.

Captain Wu glanced at Zhou Ping and said meaningfully, "Zhou Ping, as long as you are a true genius, the country will spare no effort to cultivate you. Sometimes you don't have to think too much. You have to perform when you need to. Resources are earned through fighting."
