Chapter 419 - 387 Speed of Light
The meeting concluded amidst a heavy atmosphere, with each faction returning to prepare for the significant change that could arrive at any moment.
Li Cheng first went to the Toy Factory, handed over the inventory list, and let the Smart Core crush the artifacts, refine points, and upgrade the factory.
He returned to the real world, sat in front of his computer desk, casually scrolling the mouse wheel, frowning in thought.
On the player forum, the official account of the neighborhood committee posted a pinned message, revealing the preliminary investigation report on Yakai Quan’s case.
The conclusion provided was that Yakai Quan self-destructed because he had once mistakenly entered a forbidden zone and a tumor bomb was implanted inside him by a Security Guard.
The committee announced the coordinates of the forbidden zone and made a great show of setting up automated magic arrays resembling airport security checks at each telephone booth for teleportation outside the slum.
They also announced a collaboration with the Bell Tower Mage Association to launch Golem Guards with law enforcement capabilities, patrolling the slum 24/7 in the coming weeks.
This statement was 80% true and 20% false. Most forum users, seeing the committee invest heavily in security checkpoints, stopped doubting and gave it likes.
An American user even praised the committee’s professionalism and service attitude below, recounting how a black relative of his was once suspected and searched by Washington officers just for holding a bottle on the street.
During the search, the officer mistook the relative’s hemorrhoid for internal drugs, scratching vigorously for three minutes and causing severe physical and mental harm.
Back then, if only there were such advanced magic security arrays and Golem Guards, this wouldn’t have happened.
