Chapter 834, The Great Search of Storm City!
Returning to the land of the Eastern Continent, even for just a minute, made Qingchen feel a sense of familiarity.
Even when facing that stern old man, I felt he looked kinder and gentler.
Qingchen looked at the old man: "How does it feel to be rehired after retirement?"
After careful consideration, the old man said, "No one has mentioned paying me a salary yet. Let's not talk about stock options, but I still need a salary."
Qing Chen: "..."
Silence fell between them again. The old man wanted to ask something, but quickly stopped himself.
Li Kerou, who was standing nearby, asked considerately, "Are you used to eating out?"
Qingchen replied, "I don't like it. It's not as good as a plate of shredded potatoes from my hometown."
Li Kerou asked again, "Is there any danger now?"
“Yes, I’m trying to find a solution, and time is of the essence,” Qingchen replied.
The questions Li Kerou asked were actually questions a father wanted to ask but couldn't bring himself to ask.
Having served as the head of the Qing family for so long, the old man was accustomed to a superior perspective, and his thoughts, ideas, plans, and schemes were all extremely grand.
He found it difficult to suddenly show concern for his son in the form of everyday family matters.
So Li Kerou thoughtfully asked all the questions a father might have wanted to ask, so the old man wouldn't have to awkwardly ask them himself.
This may explain why Li Kerou was able to become the head housekeeper of Ginkgo Manor in such a short time.
However, Qingchen didn't have much time to reminisce.
He asked Li Kerou, "Who are the people currently gathered in City 5?"
Li Kerou took out a transparent tablet and handed it to him: "The list is all on it. You can also see what each person has done recently by clicking on the list."
Qingchen glanced at her; this girl had prepared everything.
...
...
On the Storm, Black Spider stood quietly in the command room, knowing that the White Light wouldn't keep her waiting long.
Just then, someone suddenly said, "The light of white people has come online!"
Black Spider said coldly, "Spread out your nets to identify them, regardless of life or death, regardless of the cost, confirm the status of each target, and see if they are in the superconducting world!"
At the Marquess Kennedy estate.
The new driver leaned against the car smoking, while the villa was brightly lit, and the female slaves were running around preparing a late-night snack.
He had a miniature earpiece in his ear with the communication channel open.
Just as I was smoking, someone said in the communication channel: "White Light is online. Check if Blue Mountain, Crimson Blood Squad, and others are online at the same time."
After receiving the instructions through his earpiece, the driver casually stubbed out his cigarette. He stopped pretending and headed straight into the villa.
The yellow and green officers in charge of martial law noticed his strange behavior and immediately went to stop him.
Driver: "Get out of the way!"
But the yellow and green people ignored all that and continued to push their way in: "The arbitrators are in charge, get out of the way!"
Yellow and Green exchanged a glance: "The Arbiter?"
The driver sneered, "Someone will call you soon, don't worry."
The next second, the green phone rang.
A calm voice said on the phone, "The electronic action order issued by Duke Storm has been sent to your mobile phones. After reading it, cooperate with the investigation. Failure to cooperate will be considered treason."
The call ended.
Green glanced at the action order on his phone, and his expression immediately changed. He truly was the arbiter!
The Arbitrators are a violent intelligence agency that he can't afford to mess with!
The next moment, airships flew down from Sky Island, and two helicopters even escorted them, hovering over the Kennedy Estate.
Similar situations were happening simultaneously in dozens of locations throughout the city.
Storm City's powerful air force was fully mobilized. After all, with the Joker's strength, he was likely to make a last-ditch effort after being forced offline, and might even break through the encirclement.
When air support arrived, the driver rushed into the villa. He went to the entertainment room and turned off the virtual devices of Lanshan and the others one by one.
The two people, Yellow and Green, could only watch, but dared not say anything.
Blue Mountain was happily leveling up when he woke up and found out that the driver was behind it all. He was furious and wanted to hit him. Black also turned pale.
However, Green stopped them and whispered, "It's the Arbitrator's superior."
The driver coldly observed the crowd and reported over the communication channel, "We have been forcibly taken offline."
Meanwhile, in the command center aboard the Storm, after confirming that the White Light had not been affected in any way, the order was given: "Evacuate, proceed to the airport to assemble, and prepare to return by airship to report."
“Received,” the driver replied calmly, then swaggered away.
Everyone in the villa was still shaken and felt somewhat aggrieved.
Black frowned and asked, "Why have we been targeted by the Arbiters?"
Lan Shan frowned as he watched the airships and fighter jets rapidly disappearing into the sky, lost in thought.
...
...
At that moment, downstairs in the apartment building in District 8, the young man responsible for keeping an eye on the housekeeper received orders and immediately turned around and headed towards the apartment building.
Air support has arrived overhead!
He pressed the button for the 67th floor elevator, intending to force open the lock to confirm whether the butler inside had entered the superconducting world.
If the butler is indeed in the superconducting world, he will directly reveal his identity and force him offline.
For example, there were as many as 121 such operations, covering an extremely large area.
Inside the elevator, the intelligence officer checked his weapons, methodically removing magazines to inspect the bullets before inserting them back into the holster under his arm.
He had anticipated the potential conflict, but he was not afraid.
The intelligence agents knew very well that if the person they were monitoring was the Joker, they would likely die the moment they discovered his identity.
The elevator ascended rapidly and arrived at the 67th floor.
However, when the elevator doors slowly opened, the intelligence officer in charge of surveillance was stunned for a moment, because the butler was right outside the elevator doors and walked in nonchalantly without even glancing at him, and pressed the button for the first floor.
The butler glanced at him: "Which floor are you going to?"
The intelligence officer quickly said, "I'm going to the first floor; I forgot to press the elevator button."
“Hmm,” the butler said no more.
The elevator arrived at the first floor, and the two stepped out together, but nothing happened.
After the butler had walked a few dozen meters, the intelligence officer whispered, "Target number 12 did not enter the superconducting world. He just left the apartment, and we don't know where he's going yet."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the communication channel: "Cleared of suspicion."
The white light is still online, but the butler has gone out, so the butler is ruled out as a suspect.
...
...
In the butler's residence, Qingchen, wearing virtual reality glasses, was immersed in the world of superconductivity.
Chen Zhuoqu, Li Tongyun, and the others curiously looked around the room, and at the robot girl inside.
Chen Zhuoqu, the female contestant, wanted to reach out and pinch Yi's cheek, but Yi smiled and pushed her away: "You can't just touch me like that."
Li Tongyun asked curiously, "Are you human?"
One somewhat formulaic answer: "No, I am his life robot."
Da Yu and Zard wandered around the room, the curtains were all drawn. Zard, looking sneakily through a small gap, looked at the Storm in the distant sky: "Wow, their air fortress is hovering above the city."
Just then, the door opened, and the 'butler' came back carrying a bag of fried chicken and hamburgers.
He removed the forbidden ACE-005 daifuku mask from his face, revealing Hu Xiaoniu's true appearance. He smiled and said, "I hope I wasn't discovered. Everyone, come and eat fried chicken."
The condition for containing the forbidden item ACE-005 Dafu is knowing its name. Just like when Li Shutong gave Dafu to Qingchen, Qingchen temporarily lent this forbidden item to Hu Xiaoniu to cover up his identity.
Chapter 835, A Win-Win Situation for Da Yu and Qing Chen
Hu Xiaoniu returned safely, and Yi was responsible for waking Qingchen.
At this moment, Qingchen looked at Da Yu...
Da Yu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at: "Xiao Yu and Zard begged me to come, it wasn't my own idea."
Qing Chen asked directly, "You drew me, right? Are you finished?"
Da Yu's expression immediately changed: "Don't you dare slander me! Why would I draw you?!"
Qing Chen said with a half-smile, "How would I know why you drew me, but I know you definitely did. Take it out, I need to use it."
With over a hundred people in the room, Da Yu felt like he was being publicly executed: "I didn't draw it!"
Zard: "He draws really well."
Da Yu: "???"
Seeing his face gradually turn ashen, Zard felt a little guilty: "I know I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time."
Qing Chen smiled and said, "I do have something important to do this time, so please lend me a hand."
"Are you asking me for help?" Da Yu raised his chin slightly.
