Qin Ye did as instructed.
Soon, the scene changed. A heavy and ancient stone door suddenly opened on the screen, as if sunlight was shining in.
The voice rang in his ears again.
"Picket officer S9527 detected, logged in.
Please remember the following terms. "
"One: Everything you see here must not be leaked.
Even more so, it could not be revealed to the ordinary people.
Violators will be treated as mid-level leakers. "
"Two: Spamming is strictly prohibited. Once discovered, the first violation will result in a one-hour ban.
Twelve hours for the second offense.
The third time, one day, and the fourth time, seven days.
Fifth permanent account cancellation. "
"Three: Please consciously abide by social ethics. Once you are reported and verified by the Nether River's main brain, you will be banned from speaking for three days."
"Welcome to Cathay's highest authority, the exclusive app of the Special Investigations Department, Executioner."
Boom … Before he could even finish speaking, the sun on the screen suddenly solidified, revealing an antique layout.
It was very heavy.
It was a red and white layout, and on both sides were engravings similar to those of the Three Star Ruins.
The center seemed to be a forum.
The forum was divided into four parts: Miscellaneous Talk, Information, Communication, and Quests.
Qin Ye didn't hesitate to tap into the Miscellaneous Topics section. This was the most convenient place to gather information.
There was a dazzling array of posts, but the blood-red pinned post on the homepage was the most eye-catching.
"Three days from now, the City of Salvation of Insignia Province shall make a public announcement. This is a warning." -- A3125
(Director of the App Certification Enforcement Department.)
He opened it quickly and looked down.
"By now, everyone should be aware that the situation in the City of Salvation can no longer be concealed due to the massive supernatural outbreak."
"The various levels of government in the City of Salvation and the Special Investigations Department are already in place.
In three days' time, the City of Salvation would become the first place in the entire country to reveal the existence of supernatural phenomena.
The Executive Director hereby issues the following official letter to all cultivators, cultivation institutions, and provincial and municipal departments of the Special Investigations Department. "
"Number 1: The City of Salvation will be directly under the jurisdiction of Hell.
Cultivation is the number one goal in everything. "
"Two: Sponsored by the Black Ant Group, Shangyuan Group, Feidu Real Estate, and twelve other top domestic enterprises, 'Cathay's Number One Academy of Cultivators' has been registered with a total investment of 42 billion yuan.
After the winter break, the time has not yet been decided. We will start recruiting students nationwide. "
"Three: All civilian enterprises and residences in the City of Salvation are to be evacuated from the main city district. The main city district shall be designated as the main campus of the First Academy of Cultivators.
It occupied 350 hectares of land.
It was second only to Huaqing University and Yanjing University.
Currently, Shang Garden, Feidu Real Estate, and four other real estate companies had already sent a special assessment team to the City of Salvation.
The construction team will be built by China Construction Corporation. "
"Four: The City of Salvation will solicit the establishment of major cultivation families, businesses, and research institutes across the entire nation.
All the preferential terms will be revealed in three days. "
After the four announcements were completed, there was a crimson line at the bottom.
"I've already completed the announcement that I've obtained. The remaining details will be revealed in the central plaza of the City of Salvation in three days' time.
Currently, only cultivators were allowed to enter the City of Salvation. When the time came, the directors of the Special Investigations Department, the Deputy Chief Investigator, the Governor of Insignia Province, and the Secretary of State would all make a personal visit to the City of Salvation.
Fellow Daoists, this is good news. "
"For the past few decades, we've been silently fighting against the underworld.
Everyone knew that the netherworld was out of balance, and that the netherworld was silent.
But too many ordinary people don't know about it. "
"We can't let anything happen to Hua Nation. It's a country with more than a billion people. If something happens, it'll be a disaster for the world. Therefore, our first priority is to maintain stability.
That was also why … there were too many ordinary soldiers who joined the battle and sacrificed their lives without a name.
Because of this, too many of our fellow Daoists with special statuses have sacrificed their lives for the country, yet are unable to enjoy the glory of their deaths. "
"Too many of us have died in exchange for the opportunity that we have today. The City of Salvation … will become the first pure land of cultivation in Cathay!
And I believe that there will only be more and more such pure lands in the future! "
"Fellow Daoists, the battle against the Yin spirits isn't something that can be resolved in a few years or even a decade.
It's only by standing together with the ordinary citizens that we have any hope of securing the final victory.
I sincerely hope that fellow Daoists who are not involved in the affairs of the City of Salvation will contribute to the construction of the City of Salvation and make it a home for all cultivators.
In my capacity as the director of the Special Investigations Department's Executive Division, I guarantee that as long as you're a cultivator, all wrongdoings will be forgiven as long as you don't commit them! "
The thread below had already exploded with activity!
"A massive supernatural incident has broken out in the City of Salvation?
Is this for real?
Why haven't we heard anything about it? "-- E2418 (Certified App, Chenzhou Rogue Cultivator, Huang Ziang)
"I've heard … that this news has been blocked by the entire nation. Is it true?" "Have those damn things finally decided to make a move?
How's the battle going? "
The director of the Special Investigations Department once again responded to the thousands of comments. Just like before, the words were written in bright red, "The specifics of the situation will be posted at the top of this page in three days' time. Please be patient.
Apart from that, the mortal realm has emerged victorious in this battle. Of the ten hunting zones in the City of Salvation, only one is left trembling in fear. It's only a matter of time before the supernatural alert is lifted.
The City of Salvation is likely to become the only green spot on the map for the last thirty years. "
"Green spots … make my cultivation much more secure!"
"That's right. My master was ambushed by a Yin spirit while he was out attempting a breakthrough … I must avenge him!" "Director, could you reveal the specific terms and conditions of the discount?
I have a small antique shop under me. I wonder if it's qualified to enter the city? "
There was a dazzling array of items.
Both Qin Ye and Arthis remained silent.
Both of them appeared to be deep in thought.
"What great determination …" After a long time, Arthis finally spoke with great emotion.
It was written all over her face - The progress of human civilization would usher in its first turning point in three days' time!
Cultivation, which only existed in legends, and Yin spirits, which only existed in movies and novels, would be revealed to the public on this very day!
Furthermore, the City of Salvation would become the first city of cultivation in history!
But that wasn't the most frightening part.
What would happen next?
The first city of cultivation had appeared. What about the second?
What about the third?
The City of Salvation was a pilot project.
In five years' time, it would be just like the Special Administrative Region of Salvation back then, with cities all over the country!
This was the official bugle call for the mortal realm to declare war!
"They want to treat cultivation like a business, and embark on a path of sustainable development." Qin Ye replied as he typed on his keyboard.
"What are you doing?"
Qin Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Haven't you noticed?"
"Back in the Special Investigations Department, I've been told that there are very few S-class cultivators.
Most of the cultivators here are numbered D and E. "
Arthis was bewildered, "What does that mean?"
Qin Ye pressed the "Send" button and smiled brightly, "Let me put on a show for a moment …"
Beep … A reply was posted. "I'd like to ask if the citizens of the City of Salvation will still be able to go out in the future?" -- S9527 (Certified Sentinel of the City of Salvation)
In an instant, dozens of comments flooded the forum like a frying pan!
"What the f * ck!
S？
S？？
This is the first time I've ever seen an S-class cultivator make a comment! "-- E4328 (Certified Underworldly Craftsman, Liu Wen)
"LS, hold on. Take a closer look at his app." -- D9931 (Certified Trainee Cultivator, Eastwood Town, Eastlake City, Lin Fengya)
"The City of Salvation?
The City of Salvation?!
The person involved?! "" Holy shit!
The person involved?!
He's still alive to post?
Do you need a babysitter?
The kind that can warm your bed and smile at you? "" Lz, what's going on in the City of Salvation?
Can you tell us?
There's no resources anywhere! "
It could be said that his vanity was greatly satisfied.
However, Arthis didn't smile.
"You're …" The soul sphere floated beside Qin Ye's body for several seconds before nodding, "Protection system."
"That's right." Qin Ye snapped his fingers, "I thought of it as soon as I saw the director of the Adjudicative Department."
"Look, most of the people on the list are ED-class, while a small number are C-class. All of them have a detailed address and name attached to their names.
They even have a job title.
But this director doesn't have one. "
"Also, take a look. From B-class onwards, there's no name or job title. At best, there's only a location.
When we put our fingerprints on the list, we should have already passed Styx's verification. In other words, geniuses like me, as well as some of the higher-ups, are all anonymous.
The moderators shouldn't have the authority to investigate Styx's information.
Furthermore, the major regions would never divulge the details of their most important members.
In other words, they don't even know my true identity! "
On the internet, you never knew whether you were talking to a person or a dog.
Take Qin Ye for example … Even though he was surrounded by a pack of wolves, the husky had managed to infiltrate the inner workings of the government, and had even begun to analyze the hidden rules of the communication app.
To think that most of the Special Investigations Department's information was placed right under the nose of an Emissary of Hell …
"There's far too much room for manipulation here. For instance …" Qin Ye typed out a line of words, "I'm me. I'm a different kind of firework." Unfortunately, no matter how many times he clicked on it, he still couldn't send it out!
"What?!" Qin Ye was horrified. Bloody hell … this is a combination of Styx and Big Dipper!
And you're telling me it's going to crash?!
Ding … A second later, a notification popped up, "Dear S9527, your account has been suspended for a day. Please cherish your account and avoid spamming.
Thank you. "
Thank you, my ass!
You don't give me any time to prepare myself!
Is the Special Investigations Department that inhumane?!
Just as his soul was about to boil over with rage, a voice message suddenly came through.
A3125。
"Hello. Are you a newly registered investigator?
I have to remind you that your S-class aptitude is your innate talent, not something you can brag about.
Furthermore, it's an unspoken rule to refrain from posting unless absolutely necessary. This is to minimize the leakage of your personal information.
Finally, please make good use of the search function. There's a chat tool developed by the Special Investigations Department in the discussion section.
Please search for the special S-class investigator chat group there. "
"Your account has been suspended for a day. This is a temporary warning.
Please cherish the home that we share.
You may now browse through the other three sections.
You're welcome. "
Ding … Qin Ye was instantly kicked out of the section. The veins on his temples throbbed uncontrollably.
Ahhhhh … Does that mean that every husky has to endure the provocation of the previous alpha wolf before becoming the alpha wolf …
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … the parents of the werewolves aren't too happy with you … It's rather jarring to see a little brat with mottled fur and a slightly different cry among thousands of obedient wolf cubs …" Arthis laughed so hard that she rocked back and forth, "Child, when do you want to go home the most?
No, you can't go home no matter what time it is right now, hehehe … "
When do I want to go home the most?
Qin Ye grew taciturn for a moment.
Then, he muttered placidly, "Our crystal is under attack."
