Global wonders have descended, and only I possess the treasure-hunting radar.

Wang Yan tried to fire the bullet again, but it was too late.

A gray-white beam of light shot into the sky from the top of the statue and crashed through the top of the underground shopping mall.

boom!

The violent shaking caused the entire building to tremble.

Lin Youyou was forced back half a step by that aura, her face turning pale.

She tried to move, but found her body stiff.

"Wang Yan, what exactly is this?"

Wang Yan looked out through the large hole pierced by the beam of light.

In the distance, a second beam of light rose.

Then came the third, the fourth, and the fifth.

Nine beams of light shot into the sky from different directions in Jiangdong City.

This made the originally dim sky as bright as day.

Then a huge, faceless silhouette appeared above the city, its edges indistinct.

The outline had no facial features.

But everyone who looked up felt as if they were being watched by it.

The streetlights along the street flickered one after another.

The car was turned off, the cell phone signal disappeared, and all the GG screens on the exterior walls of the high-rise buildings went black.

The entire city of Jiangdong seemed to be covered by an invisible dome.

Wang Yan looked at the nine pillars of light, then at the statue that had turned to dust, and his gaze darkened.

"Too late, the area has already been covered."

"However, after emitting that beam of light, the statue shattered on its own?"

"Is it a one-time event? Does that mean this area covering the entire Jiangdong City will only exist for a limited time?"

Wang Yan made the inference based on common sense.

After all, disposable items that break after one use may cause great damage, but their effects will definitely not last long.

Like fireworks, no matter how dazzling the moment they explode, they can't keep burning forever.

Therefore, this domain may be very powerful, but it will not last long.

Therefore, the only way to prevent the calamity behind the scenes from descending is to destroy the sacrificial ceremony, which is located somewhere in Jiangdong City.

Lin Youyou stood to the side and suddenly realized that her magical abilities were being suppressed, and she could only exert about 50% of her strength.

She snapped back to reality.

"Wang Yan, something's wrong! My power is being suppressed; I can only unleash half of my strength now!"

"I remember now, it's a domain! It's a domain! A calamity-ridden domain has enveloped Jiangdong City! I have to notify Captain Wang immediately!"

After saying that, she immediately took out her phone, intending to report the situation to Wang Liqun.

However, there is no signal in the upper right corner of the screen.

I can't make the call.

The message cannot be sent.

Even the management bureau's dedicated line is out of service.

She gritted her teeth and said, "No signal."

Wang Yan was not surprised.

Once coverage of a region begins, cutting off communication is a basic procedure.

Unless the Bureau has some kind of magical artifact that can solve the communication problem.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan said to Lin Youyou, "Let's go to the Management Bureau and meet up with Captain Wang and the others first. There's strength in numbers."

Lin Youyou nodded upon hearing this.

the other side.

Jiangdong Administration Bureau.

The moment the first beam of light appeared, a piercing alarm blared.

All the instruments in the hall turned red simultaneously.

The staff members looked increasingly grim as they watched the black area on the screen continue to expand.

"Team Leader Wang, nine anomalies have occurred simultaneously."

"The energy fluctuation exceeds Grade A and is still rising."

"Communications are disrupted, and many field teams are out of contact."

"Wait, why has my strength weakened?"

"The power of my artifact has also weakened; it's now only half of what it used to be."

Wang Liqun stood by the window, looking at the nine pillars of light reaching the sky in the distance, his face turning completely grim.

He recognized the power.

"A domain? But... how can there be such a large domain!?"

"A coverage area spanning the entire city—that's unheard of! What kind of device did they use?"

The staff member standing nearby trembled upon hearing this.

"field?"

"Captain Wang, do you mean an SS-level calamity has appeared in Jiangdong City?"

Wang Liqun clenched his fist, as if he had figured something out.

"It's not that they appeared, but that they had been lurking in Jiangdong City for a long time, preparing for this moment."

"Those calamities began at the Peak of Despair, setting the stage for this whole ordeal."

"No wonder two Class A disasters suddenly appeared at the same time; it was clearly designed to weaken the fighting force of Jiangdong City!"

"I can't believe it! Is that really how it is?!"

The staff were shocked to hear this, which meant that the calamity behind the scenes had been planned for months, starting from Deadly Peak.

With such a long period of time, the calamity's plans would be far more meticulous than imagined.

Is there any chance they can survive?

Wang Liqun glanced at the staff member, who seemed to see right through him.

"Don't worry, the calamity's plan will not succeed."

"As far as I know, there are two monster-like beings in this city."

"Two...two?"

Wang Liqun nodded, but did not offer any further explanation.

One of them was Wang Yan, who, after only a few days as a weapon wielder, had already reached the level of being able to master the second wondrous object.

The other one was Shen Qingli, an investigator from headquarters who possessed two strange items.

In Wang Liqun's view, the combined combat power of these two was already stronger than all the A-level weapon-wielding squads that Jiangdong City had previously possessed.

But even with the existence of these two great masters.

Wang Liqun believes that it is still necessary to make preparations for both possibilities.

After all, Jiangdong City is not a large city.

It also has a population of tens of millions.

If the field were to fully take shape, no one would dare to imagine the consequences.

With that thought, he walked back to his office.

He took a specially made cell phone from the safe and dialed the headquarters.

The report described the current situation in Jiangdong City.

Upon learning of this, headquarters only responded with five words.

"Support is on its way."

Seeing this, Wang Liqun felt a little more at ease.

He then immediately made arrangements, with the top priority being to restore communications.

Only in this way can we better organize our response.

At the same time.

The Lin Family Villa.

Shen Qingli was sitting in the living room drinking tea.

Lin's parents sat opposite him, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Mr. Lin said, "I'm sorry, Miss Shen, we don't know where Youyou went either."

Lin's mother added, "This child of hers has been acting all mysterious lately, and she doesn't explain things clearly on the phone."

Shen Qingli smiled.

"It's okay, I can wait."

But the next second, she paused, her hand holding the teacup still.

She looked up at the window.

Nine beams of light were reflected in her eyes.

Shen Qingli narrowed her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled up.

"interesting."

"I never expected that investigating a cause of death would lead me to encounter a calamity with a domain."

"SS-rank?"

"When I go back this time, I'll have to ask Gu Zhixing to give me more compensation."

Mr. and Mrs. Lin couldn't understand what she was saying, but they felt uneasy about the beams of light outside the window.

Shen Qingli put down her teacup.

She stood up.

"Stay home, don't go out, and don't open the door."

Lin's father's expression changed.

"What about Youyou?"

Shen Qingli looked at the nearest beam of light.

"Don't worry, she should be safer than you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed out of the villa.

Quickly head towards the nearest pillar of light to her.

When Shen Qingli arrived under the pillar of light, she saw a similar scene to what Wang Yan and the other person had seen.

The difference is that at this moment, there is also a bloated calamity, dragging a rusty butcher's knife, standing under the pillar of light.

I admired it carefully.
