Twisted Dreams-Chapter 360 - 428: The Chaos Brought by the Thousand-Year Scorpion
Rock finished contacting the God Creation Group, left the break room, and entered the restroom next door.
He squeezed some hand soap at the sink to wash his hands, hummed a tune leisurely, and slightly tidied his hair while looking at himself in the mirror.
Thinking about the collaboration between the Seven-Angled Tower and the God Creation Group, he became so excited that his palms started sweating.
This world, regardless of the era, cannot do without the Sheriff’s Department.
Even if the God Creation Group monopolizes Huaqi’s Extraordinary Circle, it must maintain a close relationship with him.
By then, the position of the Sheriff’s Department will rise, and his power as Sheriff Commissioner will grow even greater.
"Seven Commandments Association... hehe."
Rock also hoped to gain Extraordinary Power; who wouldn’t want to possess mysterious powers beyond ordinary people?
Once the Seven-Angled Tower and the God Creation Group collaborate, the first thing Rock would do is to arrest the members of the Seven Commandments Association.
Force them to confess the mystical magic and cultivate it themselves.
At that moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the restroom.
An attendant saw Rock and quickly said:
"Mr. Rock, please hurry to the conference room."
Rock frowned:
"Why are you so flustered?"
The attendant responded urgently:
"An abnormal event occurred, two minutes ago, in New City!"
Rock paused for a moment, then quickly ran to the conference room.
The conference room was quiet, and everyone present appeared serious.
An eerie live broadcast was playing on the large screen.
On Dalinton Street in New City, a giant scorpion like a small mountain was roaring and destroying everything around it.
More importantly, there were two buildings on that street that Rock was very concerned about.
One was the Sheriff’s Department headquarters, and the other was the God Creation Group’s branch office in New York.
Netran looked at Rock and said solemnly:
"Mr. Rock, please swiftly organize a sheriff response. This concerns Huaqi’s reputation!"
Netran didn’t care about the safety of the God Creation Group’s branch, but with the monster brought by Spiritual Energy Revival causing civilian casualties in front of the Sheriff’s headquarters, possibly even destroying it, the official face would be completely lost.
Rock paused for two seconds:
"Alright, I’ll deploy immediately."
Rock took out his phone and dialed a number in front of everyone.
...
Ten minutes ago.
In the alley on Dalinton Street, a huge magic circle appeared on the ground.
The Thousand-Year Scorpion slowly emerged partially from the magic circle.
It opened its mouth wide and made a vomiting motion.
Li Yang and Suzu were spat out like water, dripping with moisture.
After landing, Suzu, carrying her drenched body, quickly ran to the wall corner and vomited heavily.
Li Yang was fine, not even the edge of his clothes got dirty.
Everything undead was like air to Li Yang.
But for a non-undead creature like Suzu, it was like falling into a swamp.
Moreover, after traversing the Undead Alternate Space for so long, Suzu couldn’t stand it anymore.
Her small face was pale, looking at Li Yang with grievance:
"Promise me, let’s fly next time, okay?"
Li Yang lit a cigarette and said:
"Plane tickets are expensive; they could cover your membership fees for ten years."
Suzu pursed her lips in resignation:
"Alright."
Li Yang snapped his fingers, and the Thousand-Year Scorpion completely emerged from the magic circle, roaring as it headed toward the street.
Its sharp, massive feet crushed the road.
The huge and solid body smashed buildings like tofu as it passed, causing them to shatter.
Moments later, terrified screams echoed from the street ahead.
Li Yang grabbed Suzu’s hand, following the Thousand-Year Scorpion onto the bustling street.
His target wasn’t the Sheriff’s Department on this street; he placed the Thousand-Year Scorpion here for the God Creation Group.
Li Yang wanted to test the God Creation Group’s capabilities with the Thousand-Year Scorpion.
This era’s cutting-edge tech company, he wondered if they could handle this scorpion.
...
"Alert! Alert!"
"Fire suppression! Fire suppression!"
"There are civilians!"
"Can’t care about that now! Shoot!"
The sheriffs rushed to the street; upon seeing the Thousand-Year Scorpion, they were terrified by its horrifying appearance.
That’s when they realized all those movie plots were fake.
When humans encounter such monsters, it’s like mice facing a lion, feeling an instinctual fear.
Those movie sheriffs dared to charge at the monster with riot shields? It’s fake, too fake.
The sheriffs pulled out their guns and opened fire at the Thousand-Year Scorpion.
A dense barrage of bullets spewed forth, forming a metal storm aimed at the Thousand-Year Scorpion.
The Thousand-Year Scorpion was fearless.
Its shell was too hard, plus it was refined into an undead, its durability exponentially increased.
The bullets made ’ding ding dong dong’ sounds as they hit the Thousand-Year Scorpion’s body, while the smell of gunpowder filled the street.
"Roar!"
The Thousand-Year Scorpion was furious; its eight legs furiously stomped, charging at the sheriffs.
After becoming undead, the Thousand-Year Scorpion wasn’t clumsy despite its large size.
It was incredibly quick, like a moving cheetah.
Its giant scythe-like pincers swung at the sheriffs.
"Boom!"
The ground cracked, and several sheriffs died on the spot.
"Retreat to the headquarters! Use cover for combat!"
The sheriffs fought while retreating toward the headquarters.
There were more powerful firearms and elixirs in the headquarters.
During the retreat, countless sheriffs were killed along the way.
Suddenly, the street was filled with screams.
The nine-story Sheriff’s headquarters unleashed countless grenades and bullets at the Thousand-Year Scorpion.
The area around the Thousand-Year Scorpion was engulfed in flames.
If it were an ordinary undead, it would have been burned to ashes or shot full of holes.
However, the undead aura on the Thousand-Year Scorpion was too thick, icy cold, and the flames generated by the weapons couldn’t burn it.
The scorpion’s tail, as thick as a utility pole, swung toward the nine-story building.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, the nine-story building was instantly destroyed midway.
Rock, watching this scene on the live broadcast, felt overwhelmed with fear.
Is this the abnormal event brought about by Spiritual Energy Revival?
This is a catastrophe, a disaster!
Humans can’t deal with this at all!
Rock suddenly remembered something, quickly took out his phone, and dialed a number.
He was requesting rescue from the God Creation Organization!
...
On the street, pedestrians screamed and fled.
Li Yang and Suzu walked against the flow of people.
Suzu hopped along like a tourist, her face full of excitement:
"So cool, so cool!
Why wasn’t it this cool before!
Disaster, I love disasters!
Li Yang, can you create more monster attacks in the future?"
Suzu loves disasters and seeing painful things.
Everyone knows the Black Witch is a villain.
In reality, Li Yang doesn’t like causing senseless slaughter; he doesn’t share Suzu’s morbid interest.
Everything done today was for the sake of profit.
At the start of the Spiritual Energy Revival, scare Huaqi’s elite and intimidate them, then have the Seven Commandments Association clean up the mess. This way, the path for the Seven Commandments Association in Huaqi will be steady.
As for why such an event wasn’t staged during the Spiritual Energy Revival beginning in Xia Country?
First, Li Yang didn’t have such capabilities initially.
Second, Li Yang’s path in Xia Country was by using the Desire Potion to slowly win over the elites, forming the Demon Club to establish his base.
Third, in Xia Country, he wasn’t willing. Why wasn’t he? Because he chooses when he wants to, and when he doesn’t want to, he doesn’t.
Li Yang, with determined steps, found the best spot to watch, in a street-side café.
Holding Suzu’s hand, they went up to the second floor, watching the frenzy of the Thousand-Year Scorpion.
After today, according to his plan, he could solidify the Seven Commandments Association’s status worldwide.
