“What the hell was that…” Buzz took a breather before noticing that his dungeon instance had been completely overwritten by Jin the moment he got out of the convention hall. He now understood that Jin was no ordinary dungeon supplier who happened to have all this fame and glory by chance.
“To be able to break my dimensional instance without making too much of a scene… Only dungeon suppliers who have the know-how to create a dimensional instance from scratch and instead of relying on technology could do such a thing… Not to mention the amount of chi one must possess to overwrite such a big area, it’s no ordinary feat. Perhaps that is why he had decided to create his very own festival… Or did he already sense something was amiss and had been tipped beforehand by his police colleagues that there could be a situation like this? Is that why the police were able to come earlier than we had expected? ” Buzz said to himself as he could see armed police storming to the room he was hiding. He could have activated the traps that he set previously but decided to hope Jin could honour his word.
Thus instead of barricading them with the multitudes of traps and locked doors, Buzz had already unlocked all of them remotely and only doing so the moment they reached the door, as a sign that he is surrendering willingly. “My job here is more than done.” Buzz said to himself as he had his arms up when the armed police came through the final door.
He knew that further resistance would not only spoil his chances but also there was nothing much he could do to honour his employer’s request. That butterfly crocodile had not only destroyed most of the temple which they painstakingly created for the revival of the Banned Emperor but also, most of the Banned Emperor lackeys had already been killed by that self proclaimed void monster.
Even if Buzz poured all his resources to build an artificial temple, it would also be of no use if the most important piece of the puzzle was not there. The relic that was capable of recalling the soul of the dead.
And considering the fact that his main employer had not shown up for the fight could only indicate that she either had other backup plans, ran away or the likely situation of being caught. Buzz did not care anymore as he compiled the armed police’s instructions as he laid on the ground to be handcuffed. The police handled him roughly but because Buzz willingly surrendered, there were no sucker punches or kicks before he was pinned down further to be cuffed.
And as Buzz walked out of his room, he could see the masses of police covering the area, and investigation teams combing the entire convention hall for clues. Not to just identify what had happened but also take count of the casualties that were within the room. Buzz safely said to the policemen that were handling him that no innocents had been harmed and he could attest to that.
“With the exception of Jin’s friend, that bull cultivator, the rest who were killed are Banned Emperor Terrorist.” Buzz said but the police officer nearest to him knocked to him with a loud thud.
“Save that testimony for later. Although we are recording you now, you best save your defence for our interrogation.” The police officer replied as he and the rest escorted Buzz to the designated van while avoiding the media.
Yes, the media.
Kong Rong and other State Security agents had suppressed the information for approximately for an hour or so until bystanders caught a whiff of the current situation. Naturally as ‘upstanding’ citizens of the online community, it was their ‘obligation’ to share every possible eventful nature of the major police presence. Media networks were suppressed despite them picking up on the citizen’s videos and Kong Rong did not allow any of them to even come close until Jin had finally managed to break open the dimensional instance that was surrounding the convention halls.
Now that they had made progress, they were able to get in and storm the area to save the hostages and that was where Kong Rong allowed some information to pass through and the media vans started to pour in. That was also one of the reasons why Kong Rong had to pick up quite a number of calls right after his fights as he had bigwigs and other influential people demanding for an answer.
But with Jin’s help, the police and the army were able to evacuate civilians the moment they entered, showing immediate positive results for the media to report. The only problem Kong Rong had was ensuring the survival of the defence minister… though he was not too worried with regards to that. Even when Ryuli managed to establish back connection with Kong Rong and reported the bad news, the assassination was not too on his list, but rather the relic itself.
Despite what everyone in the known believed as a hush trade secret with regards to the relic, Kong Rong still knew what was going on and had already done sufficient preparations to ensure the minister’s life. He had also purposely allowed the relic to be brought out in order to ensure that the Banned Emperor terrorists would come out to play. If they ever suspected the relic was a fake, they would not be able to catch them.
While it was true that they had put the innocent masses into possible harm’s way, the state security felt that it was the only way to get the Banned Emperor Terrorists in full force. And even if they could not get everyone, it showed that their plan works and their current methods were able to pinpoint the actions of the Banned Emperor lackeys. It would only be a matter of time that the state security would be able to find the rest of them and pay for what they had done. (Not to mention, this incident will eventually raise the department’s powers.)
And as they evacuate the convention building, Kong Rong and Ryuli were on their way to the designated bunker to thwart the final plan of their ‘Queen’ and retrieve back the relic.. However, they had forgotten that sometimes a cornered rat will bite and fight harder for its life.
