Chapter 23 – Very large gas leak
Chapter 23 – Very large gas leak
It was them.
In Jiang Bei's mind, the image of that night appeared again, the madman in the white suit. The disaster that took his life came out of nowhere, without any conspiracy or reason. It was just like being bitten by a dog or hit by a car while walking, simply meeting an unlucky guy at an unlucky time.
After that, he had nightmares several times. Sometimes, he would relive that moment in his dreams, feeling the pain of "death" that was etched into his memory. Sometimes, he would dream of waking up and seeing Xiao Qi disappear like a dream, and he would return to the Border Station, forced to accept the fate of becoming a hyena.
Only after death did he realize that he loved being alive so much. Life was so worth cherishing, but unfortunately, he had never cherished it when he had it.
And now, it seemed that he had found a way to vent.
The Tyrant, who had just been arrogant, seemed to soften his tone compared to when he faced Wei Chuan, but he still maintained his air of strength. He straightened his back, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm glad we finally meet.
Ever since I heard about you from my subordinates, I've been wanting to meet you.
You have unparalleled talent, and you are not a lackey of the Sky Eye. As I just said, all of us Transcendents should be one family. We are all on the same side, there's no need to be so tense..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Bei had already flashed forward. Both of them only saw a blur of red and blue in front of them, unable to see any specific movements. The next moment, the Tyrant was sent flying with a thunderous explosion, and Jiang Bei appeared in the position where he had just stood, maintaining his punching posture.
Who the hell said we're on the same side?
Wei Chuan's mouth dropped open.
...So fast!
It was not an exaggeration to say that this was the fastest man he had ever seen.
The Tyrant, who had been sent flying, crashed into a pile of debris, with broken boards and steel piled on top of him.
But the next second, there was a muffled sound from the debris, as if a solidified gasoline bomb had exploded inside. The hurricane of flames blew all the objects in all directions, and the melted steel and shattered glass formed a scorching river, with burning beasts roaring in the center of the room.
"Be careful!" Wei Chuan shouted, protecting his face with one hand, and reminded Jiang Bei behind him, "He has the ability to control fire elements, the temperature could be thousands of degrees..."
Before he could finish, the Tyrant had already launched an attack. His body was engulfed in flames, making the already unclear outline of his body even more blurry. A fire dragon twisted and roared out, with the smell of burnt flesh mixed with the sound of crackling. It swept towards Jiang Bei and Wei Chuan's position like a monster with an open mouth.
Coincidentally, Jiang Bei had just rehearsed dealing with this kind of ability a few minutes ago.
He took a deep breath, expanding his chest as if to absorb the whole world into his endless lungs.
And then he exhaled!
Wei Chuan's eyes widened, and his mouth could almost fit a pineapple.
Wow!?
Blow, blow, blow... blow it back?
Is it possible to do this?
With the experience he had just accumulated, this time it was even smoother. The seemingly fierce flames were instantly blown back by the air wave Jiang Bei exhaled, sweeping past the Tyrant. The violent air wave even extinguished the flames that enveloped the Tyrant's body.@@@@

"Captain, the Commissioner reports that the 'Tyrant' has been dealt with," Li Xiao'an reported.
The earthquake caused by the containment had turned the control room into chaos. After hearing this news, Tang Wen let out a long sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, finally some good news..."
"The tremors have also stopped, and the disaster has been controlled to the maximum extent. But... there's some news that I don't know if it's good or bad, Captain."
Tang Wen became alert, "What do you mean?"
"...You might want to see it for yourself, Captain."
Li Xiao'an gestured with his hand and shared a certain video from his screen with the Captain. Tang Wen furrowed his brows and opened the video.
It was on the broken Panlong Bridge in Kantu City.
A Transcendent, or rather, that specific guy in the red cape, was lifting a car from under the bridge as if a god had descended. The surrounding crowd was filled with awe and shock, like pilgrims.
And there was more. Like rescuing a construction worker who fell, catching the collapsing debris of a building, and even more astonishingly, blowing out the flames of a natural gas explosion in one breath.
The cinematography was movie-level, with visual effects that even the best special effects couldn't compare to, and it couldn't help but bring up the eternal mystery of "how awesome must the cameraman be?"
"...Where did this footage come from? Has it been processed?" Tang Wen furrowed his brows.
"Well, that's the problem, Captain. We can't process it," Li Xiao'an said.
"We can't process it?"
Tang Wen raised an eyebrow.
He didn't quite understand what that meant. Was there anything that our great 404 God couldn't handle?
"All these videos were uploaded by a batch of newly created accounts, simultaneously on all social platforms and video websites. The lowest platform had over a hundred thousand views within three minutes.
And all the accounts that uploaded them have the same ID, 'Endless Alliance.' We tried, but this account can't be traced, can't be banned, and we can't interfere or block the content it posts."

Tang Wen was stunned for a moment.
"How is that possible?"
"I don't know, Captain. But it happened. And I think, Captain..."
Li Xiao'an paused.
"...We might need a very big gas leak."
Tang Wen: "..."
