Chapter 297: The World: Part 1
Fiona dunked her whole body in the tub.
The milky white shower gel kept forming bubbles in her hands. The air was scented with sweet flowers. The steam kept rising, enveloping the whole bathroom in a mist of steam.
“The guy must have felt the trouble this time. One more day, and I’ll be able to clean up the mess.”
That guy had a strong family background.
Then again, if she had not been drugged, she would not have failed because her background was strong as well. It was an accident. Luckily, a student named Lin Sheng saved her.
“When that guy is cornered, I’ll take my time and maximize the effect,” she said to herself and smiled.
It was not a very clever trick, but she did not care as long as it worked.
She also had contact with transcendents. People in that group, too, must abide by established laws and rules. So…
*Ding dong.*
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
“h.e.l.lo, do you need to change the sheets?” It was the voice of the hotel housekeeper.
“No,” Fiona picked up the extension and said impatiently.
“She’s in there.” Suddenly, a voice traveled from beyond the door.
“Open the door,” said another person in a low voice.
Before Fiona could react, she heard the door of the suite click and open!
She quickly got up and put on the towel and was about to rush out. But as soon as she entered the living room, she saw several tall men and women in white and blue star uniforms enter the room.
“That’s her! Catch her before she gets away!” They rushed at her as soon as they saw her.
A woman as strong as a chimpanzee charged forward and punched her in the stomach.
Puke! Fiona bent over and spat out some yellow water.
“Sorry, you have been suspected of divulging state secrets, endangering public officials, and secretly contacting terrorist organizations to carry out terrorist activities. You are under formal arrest by the Miga national security agency. Anyone who resists will be shot on the spot.” The strong woman sneered, listing out a lot of charges quickly. “I really love punching a pretty face!”
The leader of the team was a little speechless, but he quickly took out his cell phone to call and report the situation.
“All those who target Professor Auldmandiller’s disciple must be found. Well… Understand. They will be locked up for investigation. Okay, it won’t be a problem.”
After reporting, he put down his mobile phone, looked at Fiona and said, “Well, take her away.”
“Wait!” Fiona struggled and shouted. “I didn’t do anything… Do you… Why?!”
She thought she had always obeyed the law, and even if she did something illegal, it’s in the grey area. She could not have anything to do with colluding with any terrorist organization.
“Have you ever tipped off a gang of gangsters and given them the address of a man called Lin Sheng?” asked the leader calmly.
She did not answer. He got the exact answer right off Fiona’s face.
“Right. Take her away!”
“No! I didn’t do it! I didn’t…” All of a sudden she was. .h.i.t in the stomach and then in the back of her neck. She lost consciousness completely.
“Let’s go.” The leader turned and left the room before the rest quickly followed.
They were all men of The Asterism. As the largest police force under Carte Blanche, they maintained the extraordinary world order of the entire Miga.
They were supposed to be impartial enforcers, but this case involved one of Baine University’s most talented freshmen, Lin Sheng.
Of course, Lin Sheng did not have the power to drive these law enforcement teams, but Lin Sheng’s teacher was the owner of one of Baine University’s most powerful workshops, Soul Fortress. The owner was Professor Auldmandiller, and one of the students he once taught was one of the top executives in The Asterism.
And because it involved a terrorist attack in the city which almost killed a transcendent of extraordinary talent and potential, so the president of Bain University personally called for a thorough investigation. Anyone who had contact with Lin Sheng recently was all investigated, and those who were slightly suspicious were all put in prison.
So, even those who were slightly suspicious were caught, not to mention Fiona, who deliberately tipped off and wanted to murder Lin Sheng.
“Maybe this woman has something to do with those missing person cases!” The leader looked at Fiona and said in a low voice.
The missing people cases were still plaguing them. If only someone could take the blame…
All of them got the meaning in a second.
“Yes, maybe this woman just pretended to be in a bath, but in fact, she was secretly contacting members of terrorist organizations through mysterious means to plan a new round of terrorist attacks!” the strong woman agreed. She had a natural aversion to beautiful women.
“We’ll have to look into it.” The other nodded earnestly.
Whether it’s true or not, when people got executed, they would be able to close a few cases.
They dragged Fiona downstairs quickly, entered the police car and left.
…
Lin Sheng stood silently in front of the sink, carefully wipe off the blood he just spat out.
The sudden increase of the holy power nearly killed him.
If he hadn’t released the Holy Power Barrier in time and suppressed the force of the holy power with totally enclosed isolation, he would have broken into countless pieces now.
“The blood of the Fire Dragon has ascended fast enough, but it still can’t support the ascent of the holy power… I miscalculated…”
He could observe that the holy power had come from the depths of his own soul, and now he did not feel any diminution in it, but a steady stream of holy power still seeped madly through the skin. Fortunately, he used the holy power to enhance the effect of the Ashen Seal – the Sanctuary in time to produce a shield similar to the isolation of energy to save his life.
“The holy power is overflowing. How do I solve it?”
Lin Sheng began to search the memories in his mind, trying to look for the possible solution from the memories. But he had absorbed too many memories and he could not look through all of them, so he had to pick and choose the key parts.
“The part about holy power… Mainly focuses on the soul fragments from Blackfeather City and Snowgale Fortress. Let me see…”
Unfortunately, the search results were zero.
