Chapter 545: unnatural phenomenon
"This earthquake has many abnormalities, and it is suspected that it did not occur naturally."
Lindy said.
"It's not a natural phenomenon, this, how is this possible?!"
Ai Xi's eyes were shocked, almost thinking that he heard it wrong.
The earthquake that caused the death of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people was not natural.
"Even if it is extraordinary, it can't cause such a large-scale shock. Could it be a mistake?"
Ferring asked in surprise.
Although Chaofan has great strength, he is still only a human being after all, not an existence like an evil god.
Wanting to trigger such a strong earthquake and cause such huge damage, based on his understanding, Chaofan couldn't do it.
Even if the three secret arts are extraordinary, it should not be possible.
If it is an evil god, it is possible, but the evil **** cannot come to this world, and even if it is just to extend its power into this world, there will be many restrictions.
Under these many restrictions, it is impossible for the evil **** to cause such a huge destructive power.
"This is what I can't figure out at the moment. However, judging from the information obtained, there are indeed too many abnormalities in this earthquake."
Lindy frowned and said.
Hum!
At this moment, both Flynn and Lindy felt vibrations.
The two took out the elder's coat of arms, checked it, and immediately stood up.
Find an unoccupied lounge, the two connected, and their bodies appeared in a conference room in the form of a projection.
In the conference room, projections of other people appeared one after another.
Finally, six projections appeared in the meeting room, which were the six great elders of the Security Bureau.
"You should all know about the strong earthquake in the southeast side of the kingdom, right?"
Suleiman looked at the crowd and asked.
"It has been received. I really didn't expect such a disaster to happen. Unfortunately, it happened at night. If it could happen during the day, the casualties should be smaller."
Naga Harlowin said with a sigh.
"After all, it is a natural disaster, and no one can predict it."
Harvey Lopez also sighed.
"This time, it's not a natural disaster."
Suleiman glanced at the two of them, and said in a serious voice.
"Isn't it a natural disaster?"
Hearing this news, apart from Flynn and Lindy who had already known about it, Nadja Harlowin, Harvey Lopez and even Alonso Deco all showed astonishment on their faces.
Such an earthquake that affected more than a dozen cities and caused hundreds of thousands or even millions of casualties is not a natural disaster.
How can this be?
Such destructive power and scope of destruction are simply beyond the reach of manpower.
"Yes, not a natural disaster."
Suleiman nodded affirmatively, and then said.
"But most earthquakes have omens, but this time, there are no omens."
"If this is the case, I am afraid that it cannot be concluded that the earthquake did not occur naturally."
Naga Harlowin frowned slightly.
“If that’s the case, it’s true that we can’t be sure that this earthquake didn’t happen naturally.”
Suleiman nodded, and then said.
"The reason why I think this earthquake did not occur naturally is because in the nearby cities near the center of the earthquake, many high-ring mystics felt a strong fluctuation of extraordinary power when the earthquake occurred."
"Did you feel a strong fluctuation of extraordinary power when the earthquake happened?"
Felin's complexion changed slightly.
Normal earthquakes are impossible to cause extraordinary power fluctuations.
This earthquake actually had extraordinary power fluctuations. From this point of view, there are indeed signs of unnaturalness.
"It is certain that there are unnatural signs in this earthquake, but it is not certain whether it is man-made."
Suleiman said.
"It is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation to find out what caused the earthquake."
"If it is man-made, then we must let this force pay the due price."
Naga Harlowin said with cold eyes.
"That's why I initiated this meeting."
Suleiman glanced at everyone present and said.
"It's fine if it wasn't man-made. If it was man-made, then the force that caused the earthquake must not be simple. It is best to have Chaofan participate in this investigation."
"Hey, interesting, I took this task."
Alonso Deco said with great interest.
He became very interested in "things" that could cause earthquakes.
"The mission you are carrying out to hunt down that sea monster has not been completed yet, and this mission cannot be given to you."
Suleiman shook his head and refused.
Some time ago, a very powerful monster with near-supernatural strength appeared in the waters near the Kingdom of Heidelberg. Many ships were destroyed because of this monster.
The Security Bureau dispatched Alonso Deco to be responsible for the strange search and hunt in the sea.
"I'm in Conston City now, let me participate in this investigation."
Lindy said.
Seeing that Suleiman opposed Alonso Deco's acceptance of this task, Lindy chose to apply for this task.
"Count me in."
Flynn said.
Now his first task is to obtain enough mystery points to fuse the silver mirror of the secret technique with the eye of appraisal and the mysterious gun.
Since this earthquake involves mystery, it is possible to obtain mysterious points. He has always been interested in tasks that can obtain mysterious points.
"Okay, then the two of you will participate in this investigation."
Seeing that Lindy and Feilin voluntarily applied to participate in the investigation, Suleiman chose to agree.
Alonso Deco's application needs to be carefully considered whether Alonso Deco is competent and whether it will cause unnecessary riots.
Ferrin and Lindy don't need to worry about this. Both of them are well-measured people, and they don't need to worry about causing unnecessary riots.
…
Three carriages were driving on the dirt road in the wild, and there were four people in one of the carriages, namely Flynn, Lindy, Ivy, and Aixi.
After deciding to participate in the investigation of the earthquake, Flynn and Lindy recruited staff from nearby Conston City, recruiting a total of ten people including Ivy and Essie.
At this time, the place they were going to was a city called Waddell, which was closer to the center of the earthquake.
They plan to search for the center of the earthquake after arriving in Waddell City, find the center of the earthquake, and see if there are any traces of the center of the earthquake.
The reason for not taking the steam train is because the earthquake has already caused the interruption of the railway line.
Although repairs are currently underway, it will take at least a few days before it can be opened to traffic again.
"The two of you should not be far from the Nine Rings, right?"
Lindy looked at Ivy and Aixi and asked.
"It should be soon."
Both Ivy and Ai Xi nodded.
It has been a long time since the two became the eighth ring, and the two have faintly felt the threshold of the ninth ring.
"After becoming Gao Huan, where do you two plan to transfer to?"
Lindy asked.
In today's Constant City, Dorji is the director, and Shirley McGarrow is the deputy. The staffing is already complete, and it is no longer possible to install another director.
So, after the two become Gao Huan, they must be transferred to other cities.
"I haven't considered this yet. Besides, neither of us has the right to speak about the transfer."
Ivy and Aixi looked at each other, shaking their heads.
"Since I haven't considered it well, how about coming to the capital? Compared with other cities, the conditions in all aspects of the capital are undoubtedly much better."
"The most important thing is that the capital allows multiple deputy directors to exist, and the two of you can work together in the capital."
Lindy suggested.
"If possible, it would be a good choice."
Ivy and Ai Xi said.
The relationship between the two of them is quite good. It would be best if they could still work together after becoming Gao Huan.
"Then it's settled. After you become Gaohuan, I will transfer you to the capital."
Lindy said.
Ivy and Aixi do not have the right to speak in terms of transfer, but as the extraordinary elder, she naturally has it.
Being close to the two of them, within the limits allowed by the rules, she naturally wants to help.
After a day of rushing, Flynn and the others arrived in Waddell City.
After a short rest, the next day, Flynn and Lindy recruited some mystics from the Waddell City Security Bureau, and began to search for the earthquake center.
A few days later, in a temporary tent.
Others went out to search for the earthquake center, and only Flynn and Lindy were left in the tent.
"Could this earthquake be caused by some kind of relics left in the past?"
Ferring expressed his guess.
The relics handed down from the past, especially the relics handed down from the Empire of the Night period, some of which have defense rituals and attack rituals that have been lost now.
For example, in the tomb of the Empire of the Night period that was once discovered, there is a defense ritual that has been lost.
If the defense ritual had not existed for too long and lacked maintenance for a long time, Lindy, who only had the strength of the high ring at that time, might not have been able to break the defense ritual, enter the deepest part of the tomb, and obtain the chess of the night.
"possible."
Lindy thought for a while and said.
The period of the Empire of the Night can be said to be the peak period of the occult arts. According to historical records, during that period, there were even a number of extraordinary coexistence of the two occult arts.
One can imagine how powerful the Empire of the Night was at that time.
If it was the remains left during the Empire of the Night period that caused this strong earthquake and triggered this disaster, it is not impossible.
"Elder Sox, Elder Harlowin, the center of the earthquake has been found!"
One person quickly entered the tent and reported to Flynn and Lindy.
This is a man wearing a gray coat and gold-rimmed glasses. It was under Flynn's guidance that he obtained the qualifications to become a mystic and joined Kafei Colon of the Security Bureau.
"found it?!"
Ferrin and Lindy exchanged glances and stood up.
It took a few days to finally find the center of the earthquake. What caused the earthquake, the answer should be revealed soon.
