Chapter 353 Highest Urban Authority (4)

All sounds vanished. The streets became pristine, and even the glow of the traffic lights pulsed at a bizarre frequency.

It gave him a familiar feeling, yet it was different from anything he had seen before.

“It’s the power of the reality hotbed…”

Wei Lan said in a low voice, “Or rather, the third reality defense line!”

“It seems that to quell the riot at that secret prison, Giant Horn City has deployed its most fundamental power—the countless people living in this city.”

“Their beliefs and cognitions have formed this powerful Sea of Spiritual Power. By wielding this force, they can suppress all Mysterious Powers and anomalous phenomena within the city, enact a city-wide lockdown, and even directly rewrite the laws of reality for the entire city!”

“The cost of using this power is immense. The entire city’s population will fall into a state of daze and interrupted consciousness for a period of time.”

“But it’s also terrifying.”

“During this period, anyone who uses Mysterious Power without authorization will be instantly located and sanctioned.”

“Looks like Giant Horn City is getting serious. My advice is that we should just keep drinking and holding our meeting until this lockdown is over.”

…

‘So it really is similar to the power Song Chushi used back in Qinggang?’

Han Su nodded slightly. Back in Qinggang, Song Chushi had once used this kind of power against Ms. Shen, but he had failed.

Of course, Song Chushi’s was a case of personal Stealing, not a power granted to him by Qinggang, so the scale he could wield was limited.

Realizing what Giant Horn City was doing, he looked out at the projection of the Fertile Forest, which was slowly fading over the city. He knew that the Little Lamb Girl was leading all the children, trying her best to retract her Spiritual Tentacles.

She had summoned the forest only to hide everyone, with no intention of challenging Giant Horn City.

Unfortunately, she didn’t understand that in the world of adults, some things can’t be avoided just because you wish them to be.

“Our target this time is to hunt the noble from Skinning Manor.”

Han Su spoke slowly, sensing the strange changes outside the window. “But if we have any strength to spare, we should also try our best to help the people in that forest. They’re all just children in there, just like we once were.”

“So, is there a way?”

…

Hearing this, Wei Lan merely raised an eyebrow and didn’t answer.

Rong Qiyue, who was starting to feel the alcohol, rubbed his forehead and said, “This is pretty awkward…”

“The meeting just now got my blood pumping, but now that it’s time for action, we can’t even get out the door…”

…

“Didn’t I just say? Boss, if you need anything, all you have to do is ask…”

At that moment, a cheerful voice spoke up. Everyone’s gaze immediately fell upon Lu Neng. Seeing his calm and casual expression, they were all a little shocked. “You have a way?”

‘To counter a reality defense line with one’s own power… what level of ability would that take?’

“It’s easy, isn’t it?”

Lu Neng chuckled. “The powers of the mysterious side are suppressed, but that means we can use any non-mysterious methods we want, right?”

“Besides, if I’ve timed it right, that plane in the sky is about to run out of fuel anyway…”

…

“You…”

Before anyone else could say anything, Rong Qiyue was the first to react. He took a sharp step back and stared at Lu Neng as if he were a monster. “That plane that was stolen from Qinggang… you really stole it?”

“I would never steal something with no artistic value!”

Lu Neng said, “I just borrowed it and haven’t returned it yet.”

As he spoke, he looked up at the dark, oppressive night sky, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers.

His other hand, hidden in his pocket, swiped through an app on his phone.

SNAP!

With the snap of his fingers, a hidden device was activated. On the mysterious side, no Spiritual Power flowed, and no Mysterious Power was stirred. But in the night sky, an empty plane turned around and began to dive straight for Giant Horn City.
