Chapter 363
The alarm went on for a long time before it died down.

"What's going on?" the commissioner asked very unhappy.

"It was a hacker invasion, well, they broke through the firewall...Damn it, we shouldn't use these corporate-grade cheap products!" A technician got up and apologized in trepidation. "Don't know what they stole here."

"Do we have anything important here?"

"The key information files are in the classified system, and the classified system is physically disconnected, so they can't intrude. The hackers can only get some videos...but all the videos have been password-locked, that is, Hackers who say they broke in under normal circumstances just got hold of worthless files."

"Can't we get a better firewall?" The commissioner heard this, although there was still anger on his face, but he was no longer nervous.

"Sorry, but...here...is a temporary decision..." The technician looked flustered.

"Forget it," the commissioner replied.He gestured for the technician to sit down. "Gentlemen," he turned to the subject of the meeting. "This incident was classified as paranormal. It was handed over to me..."

"If it's just high and low temperatures, it doesn't mean anything." Some people questioned. "If it's some kind of low-temperature liquid injection device like liquid nitrogen, then even this kind of rapid freezing is not impossible. As for the flame, there is no problem. Some kind of special... flamethrower may have this effect."

"Haven't the Indians already come to a conclusion?"

"But the Indian is not credible. Didn't some experts raise this suspicion before? The reason why we didn't find anything on him is very likely that he deliberately used some method to cover up or even disrupt our observation. .”

The debate did not last long, as the Commissioner made a gesture to silence the room.

"If what the Indian says is true, does he explain why a god was born in this place?" asked the commissioner.

"He doesn't know," the reporter replied. "He made it very clear that even in the ancient inheritance of wizards, this part of knowledge is taboo. The birth and death of gods are areas that humans cannot touch. Forcibly touching it will bring great disaster. Every wizard As a beginner, you must know this kind of taboo. You should not force the mystery of the birth and death of the spirit of nature. You should not try to cultivate a spirit of nature for yourself to drive. People must not pursue the knowledge of God, which is one of the biggest taboos of wizards one."

"... Anyway, what can we do now?"

"There is only one thing we can do, keep the scene and wait for further detailed analysis."

"The old research materials are too incomplete. In the last century, many things were rushed. Do we have any clues in our current research? Although the conditions are rare, we still can't produce any results." Commissioner Low He said in a low voice, "Is there any further news from the team monitoring Mr. Martin?"

"No, just after that day, Mr. Martin, who was supposed to be a street magician, disappeared." Someone replied. "The team searched the house he was renting, but found no usable leads. The only thing that was certain was that he was ready to leave. His things were all packed. They are still trying to find them, but Not much chance."

"Martin may be a 'magician'...maybe not. But whether he is or not, we have now completely lost track of him...and the magician."

The former is careless, while the latter is really helpless.The magician is cunning and cruel, and he is in that country that is in chaos.Don't say you can't find it, what if you find it?A regiment of foreign troops has been wiped out in a frontal battle, and you still expect to be able to catch the magician with those checkpoints or spies or a small group of mercenaries?

Now everyone is sure that these guys on the magic side are actually very dangerous.Unless you can get a stable channel for dialogue, you can only explore and research on your own.Fortunately...they are not clueless.Because although the research on Indian witchcraft is difficult, breakthroughs have been made in other places.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's continue to report." The commissioner said to the reporter.

"This is the latest critical news... There was a yacht accident on the outskirts of the city, and many people drowned. The following is the list of the dead..."

"Wait," the commissioner hadn't spoken yet, and someone had already raised a question. "Does the sinking of this yacht have anything to do with our work?"

Let alone a mere yacht, even if the cruise ship sank, other departments would still be troubled.

"Yes, among the dead who were salvaged at the scene, this one," a photo appeared in the video, which was a fat middle-aged black man with a vicious smile on his face. "Known as 'Buffalo Bill.' He was one of the most famous gangsters around here. From the leads we have, the two incidents are directly related."

"You mean..." The Commissioner finally became interested. "He sent those armed thugs?"

"Supposedly. The FBI and the police have found some clues. Maybe it can't be used as evidence in court, but it's more than enough for me. We can think that it was he who sent the armed mob. But the order the mob got It should be 'search and kill', leaving no one behind. They don't know who their real target should be, they only know to kill everyone in the hotel."

"Interesting... Then they searched and killed all the way, and they met that... unknown god?"

"Is it a summoning?" Someone asked suspiciously.

Summoning rituals... are a large category of magic understood by modern people.For example, there are countless legends and myths about magicians summoning demons.If you combine "thugs launch indiscriminate attacks" and "yacht sinks, mob boss drowns", it seems easy to see the commonality.

"Some secret party?" The Commissioner tapped his fingers on the table. "A group of people with some kind of secret gathered here. Buffalo Bill may have coveted something, or maybe he just wanted revenge, so he sent the gunmen. But the group may have taken the initiative, or they were forced to call after being attacked A powerful supernatural being."

"Why did you perform the summoning in the hotel?" someone asked. "Is that place special?"

"Oh, this aspect can be answered from the information obtained from the church. According to the information we have, it is not credible that magic rituals require a specific time and place. These are all fallacies. In most cases Now, magic does not require any external conditions, and only needs a caster to use it. This is exactly the same as the situation of the previous "magician". The magician just suppressed his own power at the beginning, but he was unwilling, not unable .People in the wizarding world should have some kind of secret commandment, as a consensus or unspoken rule. But this commandment can be broken."

"That is to say... there is probably a magician in the hotel. And Buffalo Bill had a conflict with the magician. He may know that the magician has some skills, but he doesn't understand the real power of the magician... Well, like this Come on, there is a breakthrough in the matter... Immediately go to investigate the list of passengers staying in the hotel, not only the passengers, but also the hotel staff."

……

Several people sat at the edge of a spacious table, watching the video through the screen in front of them.

The video was nothing but the news about today's hotel shootout that just came out today, and it was a multi-channel news report.Because it was reported by multiple media, some details will still be mentioned.For example, this patch mentions freezing and fire.Of course, in the eyes of journalists, someone should have used liquid nitrogen or something like that.

"Brother Zhang Cheng, don't you seem to have dealt with everything well?"

"Ao Guang asked for it." Zhang Cheng replied.He has taken off his magician suit and is just a normal dressed person now.The three of them sat in this room, which can be called a home theater, and Zhang Cheng sat in the middle of the sofa.The little girl was close to him, with her head resting on his shoulder, while Heidi was obviously keeping a distance from him. "He said he hoped it would serve as a warning to criminals."

"Ha, I'm afraid our Dragon King will be disappointed." The little girl said dismissively. "This country is already doomed. It sucks from top to bottom. The government sucks to begin with."

"Didn't it say that this country is a democratic government?"

"It's just a pseudo-democratic government: it's just a sentence anyway. I'm right. I won't admit that I'm wrong, I won't change it if I admit it, and I won't do it if I change it. Even if I'm really wrong, I can only do it." Please pay for my mistakes and take more detours; and you can’t make irresponsible remarks to me, otherwise it will be your fault, and I will punish you on behalf of the moon if you make mistakes... Do you still expect such a government to correct the evil? ?” said the little girl.

She was talking loudly, while Heidi lowered her head, not daring to say a word.

"Ah, where's Ao Guang?" Zhang Cheng also thought it best to change the subject.

"His Majesty the Dragon King is competing with artificial AI next door...but I think his chances of defeating AI with Go are really slim." The little girl glanced sideways.From this angle, I couldn't see Ao Guang in the next room, but I could see the golden light filling the room.She could imagine that Ao Guang had shrunk himself to the size of an ordinary golden python at this moment, and used his front paws to control the mouse, playing Go against the computer AI.Although the plan is to win two out of three rounds, the first round is not over yet.

"Mary, you actually have a house here..." Heidi was a little surprised.

"Hey, it's amazing... This is my safe house... I used to live here every time I came here to buy things." The little girl replied. "But it's okay for brother Zhang Cheng..."

Zhang Cheng's passport has already expired (it only has a tourist visa for half a year), and there is no record of entry and exit.If your identity is checked, there will be problems, and you will not be able to stay in a slightly higher-end regular hotel in the city.If you want to take a break here, you will need a place to stay.

"Shopping..." Zhang Cheng was a little puzzled.

"Well, that's the party." The little girl blinked her eyes, suggesting to Zhang Cheng. "It was initiated on the forum, and it is often held."

"You bought a lot?" Zhang Cheng now understood why Heidi's investment went so smoothly.He and Lao Liu have done the same thing, so it is clear what a terrible advantage this will be for financial investors.

He had attended a local party and knew that a single manju sold for $[-].But as long as you can spend about a million dollars and get together [-] Wenzhu (in fact, you don't need so many), then you can turn the impossible into possible in the financial market.You can easily earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions of wealth.

The whole process is simply a lucrative business.If Zhang Cheng hadn't been a planeswalker, he would have entered this mode sooner or later.In other words, this is the normal and benign development direction of traversers.

"Yes." The little girl replied. "Brother Zhang Cheng, if you are tired, you can rest here."

"Ah, I'm a little tired...but it's okay." There is a full 12-hour time difference between the Republic and the United States, which means that Zhang Cheng has not had a rest for more than 20 hours.

"If you don't dislike it, you can rest in the room inside." The little girl said.

"No need, I'll go to the bathroom. If there's nothing else to do here, I'll go back soon. After all, the Republic has already booked a hotel." Zhang Cheng replied.He is now different from the past, he has a second "Dimensional Rift" in his hand.Planeswalkers rely on cards to show their strength. With this card, at least Zhang Cheng has the ability to return to the Republic at any time.

Although it was very hasty this time, the other end of the dimensional rift was next to the Dragon King Temple.But it doesn't matter much.

"Hey..." After Zhang Cheng left the room, the little girl let out a long sigh.

"You're sighing... what's the matter, Mary?" Heidi asked.

"Well, am I unattractive?" She pushed her chest hard, and looked at Heidi's chest... After comparing them, you can see that there is indeed a difference.It is estimated that it will take at least two or three years to reach Heidi's level... It may take longer to reach her sister.This is the difference between being a minor and being an adult.No matter how good the talent is in this matter, it takes time to develop.

"No. Mary has always been lovely."

"Is this a consolation? Why does my heart feel heavier when you say it?" the little girl replied.

The two of them started talking in that multilingual way again. Unless you are proficient in five or six languages ​​at the same time, you can't understand, let alone speak.

"Why is it so heavy...that, you and Zhang Cheng? Didn't you mean you..."

"Well, what I said is true. We have already decided to live forever. But... Although he was very happy to save me this time, I am still a little worried. It doesn't seem to work like this. We must have a stronger one. Only the fetters can."

"Hey, hey... what do you want to do with him?" Heidi was dumbfounded.

"The bedroom inside is soundproof. I want to spend some time alone with him." The little girl jumped off the sofa. "Well, Heidi, although we are good friends, you have to stay here for a while, and you can't come to be a light bulb."
