Metropolis: My Little Shop Connects All Worlds

Chapter 16: The Big Fish Takes the Hook

There were no openings for the next few days, save for a visit from Whitebeard to buy a drink.

Lu Xiao’s small shop was peaceful, but Lan Xing was not.

Following the ‘other world crack’ over the Shanghai stock market, the United States, the Maoxiong Kingdom, and the European Union… all appeared in the ‘other world crack’, of which the United States was the worst.

The ‘Otherworld Fissure’ opened in the Big Apple.

Three fifth-order beasts are rampant, and the scene is comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster.

The National Guard couldn’t deal with it at all. There was no way. In the end, the Hexagon ordered to launch three Tomahawk cruise missiles to destroy the three fifth-order beasts.

And the Big Apple was in ruins.

 …

Xia Country, Four Nine Cities.

Special Affairs Bureau.

This is a department that has only been established for three days, but its power is amazing. The top leader of Zhili can ask any department to cooperate, and even has the authority to mobilize a certain number of troops without approval.

Those who can join the special affairs bureau have also been reviewed over and over again.

The severity of the review conditions can only be said to be pervert.

For example: those who have gone abroad within ten years are not allowed to be considered; those who have published inappropriate remarks on the Internet are not allowed to be considered… There are hundreds of conditions that are not allowed to be considered.

A special bureau.

“Team Chu, here is a video related to ‘special events’, I need you to watch it.”

“What video? It won’t be a special effect video again, right?”

Chu Han said and walked to the side of his subordinate.

After the Huhai incident, he was immediately transferred to the special affairs department because he had communicated with Lu Xiao, the only cultivator.

The current special affairs bureau first action team captain.

Responsible for handling ‘special events’ reported across the country, but these days they are dealing with fake ‘special events’.

“This is a surveillance video sent by the Yucheng traffic department, and there is no possibility of special effects.”

Chu Han looked more serious: “Play it out and see.”

The subordinate calls out the video and starts playing.

Because it is a surveillance video, there is no sound and the picture quality is not particularly clear.

In the video, a person wearing a ghost mask and several youths holding baseball bats are fighting. Several youths with baseball bats are not opponents of the people wearing ghost masks at all, and they are beaten to the ground in three or two times.

Here, there is nothing special, only to prove that the person wearing the ghost mask is good.

But this kind of skill can catch a lot in the army.

But the video is not over yet.

When a few youths with baseball bats saw that they couldn’t beat it, they got up from the ground and wanted to run.

At this moment, the person wearing the ghost mask raised his hand, patted a golden handprint, slapped a few youths with baseball bats on the ground, and stepped forward again with punches and kicks.

Chu Han’s eyes suddenly narrowed and he said, “Replay the part of the golden handprint.”

The subordinate calls the video back to that segment and repeats it.

Chu Han stared at the golden handprint, and couldn’t help thinking of Huhai a few days ago, the man who fought the beast.

Although the golden handprints in the video are not even a star apart from the giant golden palm that the man slammed into the ground.

But Chu Han was sure that the two should be the same method, or the same cultivation technique.

That is to say, the person wearing the ghost mask in the video is related to the man who fought the beast that day.

relatives? disciple? Same door? unconfirmed.

Looking at his subordinates, Chu Han asked, “Are there any suspects who wear ghost masks?”

Although he asked, Chu Han did not hold any hope. He still remembered how Lu Xiao disappeared in front of him that day.

“The target has been determined.” The subordinate said.

“It’s okay…what? Targeted?”

Chu Han was a little stunned.

After reacting, he hurriedly asked: “Who is the target? How is it determined? Are you sure?”

The subordinate handed a document to Chu Han and said:

“We checked all the surveillance cameras within five kilometers around the incident site, and determined the target after comparing the time difference, body shape, clothing, and height, and according to our inquiries of these beaten youths, the target had a personal feud with them. So it’s basically confirmed.”

Chu Han looked at the document, and the document was a person’s information.

It was Luo Yu.

The information on the document is so detailed that it even has grades from elementary school, and even includes details of relatives in Fifth Generation.

Chu Han looked very carefully.

But after watching for a long time, I didn’t find anything unusual about Luo Yu, just an ordinary high school student.

No longer looking at the documents, Chu Han asked:

“What is the personal feud between Luo Yu and these young people?”

The subordinate said: “Half a month ago, these young people robbed Luo Yu of the money from the Internet bar and beat him up.”

“…”

Chu Han’s mood was very complicated. The cultivator that Xia Guo launched the power of a country to find was actually doing this kind of thing.

Thinking of something, Chu Han said: “I was still beaten half a month ago, that is to say, Luo Yu became a cultivator within half a month, or has this kind of power! In this half month, Luo Yu has Something must have happened to him! Have you found out who he has been in contact with in the past two weeks?”

The subordinate shook his head and said, “There is no object of suspicion.”

Chu Han was lost in thought.

Luo Yu possessed this kind of power within half a month, and the ‘otherworld crack’ also appeared within half a month. Is there any connection between the two?

Too little information is known to make a judgment.

“Looks like it’s time to meet this young man named Luo Yu.”

 …

Lu Xiao didn’t know that the big fish in his heart had already taken the bait.

He is serving another big fish at the moment.

After waiting for a few days, it’s finally here. If you don’t give a good blow to you, I’m a black man from all realms… Bah! Isn’t Wanjie Store not worthy of its name?

Get ready to bleed… Dumbledore!
