Chapter 135 Sudden Disasters
Recently, various strange occurrences have been increasing in different places, including many large-scale incidents that can be described as "ghost encounters," keeping the departments in charge of supernatural and superstitious matters extremely busy.
Especially in some western regions, there has been a sudden increase in violent incidents recently, which are being referred to by the public as "witchcraft".
The more Rong Ming looked at the reports, the deeper his brows furrowed.
The next second after he finished reading, there was a commotion outside. Rong Ming subconsciously looked up and saw Long Xiaoxiao flying over from afar.
The other team members were released after leaving the dense forest. Although Long Xiaoxiao planned to leave just like that, their work was not yet finished and the information they had collected was not enough.
Seeing that they wanted to stay, Long Xiaoxiao simply took Tang De and Tang Xuan back to City A first.
Actually, Tang Xuan originally wanted to stay, but when she saw Long Xiaoxiao look at her, she swallowed her words of refusal and silently sat down.
Tang De had become very accustomed to the feeling of flying, and even leisurely stretched his neck to look at the ground, without any fear of falling.
Tang Xuan looked at her grandfather, who was old in years but young at heart, and silently rubbed her forehead in speechlessness.
When Rong Ming saw Long Xiaoxiao return, he immediately rushed out of his office and stood quietly at the spot where Long Xiaoxiao usually landed, watching her fly over. Then he bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Lord Azure Dragon God."
Long Xiaoxiao had gotten used to their attitude towards her, so she nodded and didn't say much. But just as Rong Ming was about to ask how the trip was going, Long Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up and said seriously, "I want to eat those red strips in the future, the really red and spicy kind."
Rong Ming turned to look at Tang Xuan and Tang De blankly, wondering what the red stripes were. Chili peppers? Bird's eye chilies or small red chilies? Did the Azure Dragon God like to eat chilies raw?
Tang De met Rong Ming's expression, his eyes slightly guilty. After coughing a few times, he replied with his eyes darting around, "Hmm... I guess the Azure Dragon God probably wants to eat spicy strips."
Rong Ming turned to look at Tang Xuan with suspicion.
Tang Xuan nodded silently without saying a word.
Rong Ming then looked at the Azure Dragon God, who saw Long Xiaoxiao pondering for a while: "Hmm, it should be spicy strips, right?"
How have they been worshipping the Azure Dragon God all this way? Rong Ming turned to look at the Tang family grandfather and grandson in shock. Tang De met his gaze, touched his nose guiltily, and lowered his head.
Rongming sighed, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just silently made a mental note to find a food processing plant to supply Qinglongshen with spicy strips, and the ingredients had to be the cleanest and most hygienic!
Long Xiaoxiao had no idea that the three of them had decided so many things in just a few glances. She simply stood there quietly for a while, pondering what the broken stone tablet had to do with the magical world, and what it had to do with her.
The system also recorded photos of the broken stone slabs. Very little of the writing was legible; most of them were so shattered that their original form was unrecognizable. The system could only decipher the following information: "Dragon Clan Saves **World Connects **Light**".
After some thought, the system uploaded the information about the stone tablet to headquarters. Although there was no response, the system still held onto a sliver of hope, just in case some damned administrator finally took pity on it and did something about it.
Tang Xuan also told Rong Ming about the stone tablet, and Rong Ming immediately handed it over to the research institute.
Long Xiaoxiao did not conceal her presence during her flight in the sky this time. As she descended near City A, many people below saw her, and numerous videos were released. Tang De's excited figure looking down from the dragon's back was also captured on video.
"Who is that old man up there? How dare he use the Azure Dragon God as a mount?"
"? Is this how they treated the Azure Dragon God?"
"Damn... that's really impressive."
"Alright, now Wu Zhang is no longer the only one of the Azure Dragon God."
"Wake up, upstairs. It's never been true."
"So why is the Azure Dragon God suddenly flying around carrying people? And who exactly is that old man?"
There was a lot of discussion, and people had just started flooding the official Weibo account with comments when several other social news stories suddenly broke out.
Heavy rains in K City over the past few days have caused a mudslide disaster, trapping many residents. Many vehicles were also hit by the mudslides while passing by and remain missing with an extremely low chance of survival.
Although there have been mudslide disasters in the past, none have had such a great impact as this one. Even when the news was being reported, the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping, making the search and rescue even more difficult.
Rong Ming was still dealing with the issue of spicy strip processing when he turned around and saw this news. He was immediately shocked and felt a little horrified.
The location of this disaster overlaps with the pattern of previous incidents involving witchcraft attacks.
Rongming didn't have much time to think, because the impact of this disaster was extremely large and very strange. The higher-ups mobilized a large number of people to go to the disaster area for rescue, and Rongming also received a lot of tasks.
Meanwhile, Long Xiaoxiao, who was chatting with the system and analyzing what was going on in this world, looked around at everyone who had suddenly become very busy, her eyes filled with confusion.
Long Xiaoxiao asked the system curiously, "What happened now?"
The system then glanced at the database and was startled when it saw the trending topics. It quickly explained to Long Xiaoxiao, "A very serious natural disaster has occurred in K City... It's strange, it shouldn't be this serious normally."
Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoxiao raised her head slightly and continued to ask in confusion, "Did a dark wizard curse them?"
"I don't know." After saying that, the system continued, "But do you want to go and help? This time you'll definitely get a lot of faith points."
Long Xiaoxiao nodded without hesitation. Although she didn't know what kind of disaster it was or what the situation was, she readily agreed because she thought she could earn a lot of faith points.
It should be just like the previous tsunami and typhoon, Long Xiaoxiao thought. It looks scary, but in reality, no one was hurt.
Seeing this, the system activated the navigation program to guide Long Xiaoxiao. Long Xiaoxiao originally intended to say goodbye to Rong Ming before leaving, but when she couldn't find Rong Ming in Xingyin Mountain, she simply left.
At this time, netizens on the internet were lighting candles to pray for the people of K City, all praying for everyone's safety.
Many people also captured images of Long Xiaoxiao flying towards K City.
That's the direction of K City.
"I knew the Azure Dragon God would never abandon us! [crying]"
"My uncle's family lives in K City, but we've lost contact with them. My mom cried secretly for a long time, hoping that after the Azure Dragon God passes away, our family can get in touch with my uncle [crying]"
