Chapter 226: Chapter 209 Angel Envoy

Today, the wind in Dadu was exceedingly noisy.

But it was not gentle.

Especially at the rooftop of the thirty-ninth floor of the South Bay Building.

"It’s said that from here, one can overlook the entire Dadu District..."

A skinny man dressed in a long black coat was sitting on the edge of the roof of the South Bay Building, his hands bracing against the ground. At this height, the piercing wind scraped against the hem of his coat like a blade, causing the coat to sway back and forth.

"Pure nonsense."

A calm yet disdainful response came from behind him.

The flowing wind swept across the rooftop of the building, forming a faint vortex near the ground.

The speaker, with arms crossed, wore a black coat nearly identical to the previous man’s, but he appeared quite comical. The long coat’s hem piled on the ground, and when a corner was lifted by the wind...it was evident that his feet weren’t touching the ground at all but were suspended above the roof of the building.

This man appeared tall because he was actually hovering half a meter off the ground, his real height was probably only one meter fifty, or maybe just a little more.

A man who looked like a giant... was actually a dwarf.

He spoke disdainfully, "Standing on the rooftop of this building, you can’t see anything... Simply in terms of height, in Central Continent, it wouldn’t even reach one third of the Source Tower, maybe even less!"

"After all, this is East Continent, a tiny broken building... it’s incomparable to the Source Tower."

The skinny man chuckled, slowly stood up, half of his body hanging outside the building, swaying with the wind, looking like he might fall at any moment, but in reality, his feet were stuck to the ground as if made of fine iron.

"This is my second visit to Dadu in ten years... actually, it’s developed quite fast, the scenery is quite beautiful, much better than I imagined." The skinny man dusted off his shoulders and whispered, "The words earlier were actually said by Chen San, when he had just won a seat in the district council of Dadu. He was an ambitious man. Back then, he felt that the higher he stood, the farther he could see, and by standing on top of the South Bay Building, he could compete with Zhao Xilai, which could be considered as overlooking the whole of Dadu."

The floating dwarf sneered, "Give me a break? South Bay is so beaten by the Floral Banner they can’t even raise their heads. If they can see clearly their own doorstep, that’s already great fortune. After the federal investigation team finishes, standing on top of this building, how far can they see? Can they see the distant Nanjiang? He’s no match for Zhao Xilai at all."

The skinny man chuckled, agreeing, then muttered softly, "Now adamantly opposing the bill... I think Chen San still doesn’t realize what price he is about to pay for his choices."

In the meantime, slender beams of light flashed in the distance.

Several drones circling in the air, carrying Deep Sea’s "Heavenly Eye," patrolled over the airspace of the South Bay Building.

After experiencing a power outage, the defenses in South Bay had become extremely strict.

Every so often, Heavenly Eye captured a full view of the surroundings of the building.

"Drip—"

The flashing light, falling in front of the two men on the building’s rooftop, did not show anything unusual, no alarms rang, nor were there any signals, as if... the cameras had captured only air.

At the moment of recording, an invisible force in the air twisted, seemingly forming a twisted barrier that erased the scene of the two men.

In fact, supported by the massive database computing power, Deep Sea’s "Heavenly Eye" could detect the unusual Extraordinary Aura and report it immediately, calculating through its main brain to determine if there was any danger... this air wall could block the sight of normal humans, but it couldn’t block the "Heavenly Eye" under the focus of Deep Sea.

However, there are always exceptions.

All of Deep Sea’s actions, from recording to uploading to alerting... every step required permission, even though it was completed in "an instant," it actually went through several layers of approval.

And at the instant an unusual Extraordinary Aura was detected, a pre-programmed command was automatically triggered and issued.

The authority of this command far exceeded the main controller of the South Bay Building.

Therefore,

Reporting was interrupted.

As it seemed... nothing had happened at all.

But... the normal patrolling program still had to run through a complete process. The drones formed into a group, slowly revolving around the airspace above South Bay Building—

The hovering dwarf, frowning, stared at the several drones flying back and forth, gradually losing his patience.

In his eyes... these drones carrying "Heavenly Eye" were like buzzing mosquitoes around his ears, although they wouldn’t trigger any alarms, their constant flying around him was a very annoying matter.

The dwarf snapped his fingers.

Clang!

The spot his fingertips hit rippled through the void like a chess piece was knocked... but the transmission of this piece was not linear, but rather discontinuous, teleport-like, after shattering the tens of meters of void distance, it directly smashed all the drones!

With a "bang"! The Heavenly Eye burst, a puff of blue smoke dispersed in the air, and the patrolling drones exploded in the high skies over the building, turning into a shower of broken daytime fireworks.

Seeing this, the skinny man’s expression darkened. He whispered, "Tie Wu, Lord Jiu must have warned you, keep a low profile in Dadu, before making a move... do not let anyone know the Angel Envoy has arrived."
