Chapter 617: Disposal
Chapter 617: Disposal
Chen Chuan gazed at the bloodstains beneath his feet and glanced at the Second Self, where the signs of Etherealization did not vanish as expected.
Beneath the shattered pit of broken bricks, an astonishing amount of fresh blood was gushing out, quickly filling the shallow pit and seeping through the cracks below.
He looked around, and the blood seemed to have a life of its own, spreading outward relentlessly. The mortar between the bricks crackled softly, and tiny pebbles shattered and popped out, followed by more cracks expanding outward. After a moment, something emerged from below, pushing up and cracking the solid brick surface.
In the places soaked in blood, clusters of tiny, tree-like, deep red tentacles grew, resembling crimson coral. Within a moment, these formations covered an area of twenty meters.
When the tentacles reached a certain height, their tips suddenly burst open, releasing a swarm of tiny worms that quickly crawled towards the unconscious gunmen scattered around.
Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, unsure if this was a result of the contamination merging with the native organisms of this world or the inherent effect of the substance itself.
Regardless, it was imperative to prevent this from spreading uncontrollably.
A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and an invisible psychic force instantly emanated from him. In an instant, the writhing worms died, and the people on the ground convulsed, blood seeping from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, leaving them lifeless.
Having endured two consecutive psychic shocks within such close proximity, these people were destined to succumb.
The worm coral, under the impact of the psychic force, began to tremble uncontrollably and shrink, turning into a grayish-white powder within a short time.
Chen Chuan's eyes regained their usual calmness only after witnessing the complete disappearance of the Etherealization on his body.
He surveyed his surroundings, realizing that the use of psychic force against these creatures was highly effective, but only if he remained unaffected.
As he released his psychic power, the substance simultaneously counterattacked him.
Handling this situation would be challenging, leaving potential hidden dangers.
He reached out and touched Ji Pei, contacting the convoy. A three to four-kilometer range was sufficient for the Domain Creature's transmission, despite the Domain Signal's severe decay, which didn't hinder simple command transmissions.
He instructed the convoy's security personnel to immediately send a telegram to the Yangzhi City Processing Bureau, requesting He Fen's team to handle the aftermath here.
The Yangzhi City Branch had no jurisdiction over the Far Horizon Port's security, which was directly under the Jinbei Province Government's administration.
However, the Central City Processing Bureau had the authority, and as the Bureau's Commissioner, he could mobilize the Branch's resources to thoroughly investigate this area.
Soon after the call, hurried footsteps approached from outside. These were the port's security forces, who rushed in and froze at the sight of the surroundings. Some soldiers instinctively raised their guns, but their team leader quickly stopped them.
Chen Chuan wore a Processing Bureau coat, not one that ordinary Bureau members could wear. The team leader recognized him and was aware of his superior's orders.
The team leader cautiously introduced himself, "We're the port's security patrol team. I'm Team Leader Liao Guang. Please identify yourself."
As he spoke, a car sped by outside, screeching to a halt at the intersection. A middle-aged man with a refined appearance and demeanor stepped out, eliciting salutes from the security team.
The man entered with a composed expression, but upon seeing Chen Chuan and sensing his serene gaze, his heart stirred with unease. His composure faltered as he surveyed the corpses on the ground.
"It's not appropriate for you to take action here without coordinating with us," he said, "especially since this incident could negatively impact the port's operations if not handled delicately."
As the port's administrator, his rank was only half a level below Chen Chuan's, and they were not from the same system.
Chen Chuan smiled and replied, "Apologies, I intended to collaborate with you, but the situation was urgent. This individual initiated the gun attack on us first, and the gunshot was likely heard at the port, yet there was no response from the port's side. I had no choice but to take immediate action."
As you witnessed, the perpetrator was a wanted individual, heavily armed. Early intervention was crucial to minimizing the impact on the port."
The man inhaled deeply, then turned to Chen Chuan. "I just received orders. The Kenwa Pardon is on its way, Chen Chuan. You've killed someone who's already been pardoned by the higher-ups."
“Is that so?” Chen Chuan's tone was calm as he spoke. “In that case, it seems the pardon is no longer necessary.”
The middle-aged man fell silent, seeing that Chen Chuan didn't seem bothered by the potential pressure from above.
Just then, the sound of vehicles approached from outside. It was Chen Chuan's convoy, led by Yu Xiao's security team, swiftly entering the area.
Yu Xiao saluted Chen Chuan and reported, "Supervisor, everyone is here."
Chen Chuan immediately instructed, "Secure the scene. Before Commissioner He arrives, ensure no outsiders approach this area."
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, the security captain, Liao Guang, from the port, saluted Chen Chuan with respect, "Sir, we will cooperate in sealing off the area."
Chen Chuan had intended to apprehend Kenva, the wanted criminal, but was stopped by higher authorities, and his own abilities were not sufficient for the task. So, he could only watch as Kenva occupied the port area. However, Chen Chuan had resolved the situation, leaving him feeling relieved.
Chen Chuan turned to see Yu Xiao's serious and focused gaze. He nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. "Then, please have Captain Liao seal off this area."
"Yes, sir!" Liao Guang responded, ignoring the unpleasant expression on the port manager's face. He quickly instructed his team, and they all sprang into action.
Chen Chuan walked towards his convoy and was about to instruct the telegraph operator to send a message to Commissioner Cao, informing him that the matter had been resolved.
However, before he could do so, a telegram arrived first. The telegraph operator received it and immediately delivered the message to Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan took the telegram and read it. It said, "The situation is acknowledged. No further reports are required."
He raised an eyebrow, suspecting the presence of an informant from the Unification Bureau.
He then instructed the telegraph operator, "Send a report to the Central Bureau, informing them of the situation. Also, note that based on the scene, there is confirmation of infiltration from the opposing world. I will send the remnants to the Central Bureau, so please prepare to receive them."
The telegraph operator returned to their station and began sending the message as instructed.
Chen Chuan stayed at the scene until around 10 pm when He Fen, along with the team from the Processing Bureau's branch office, finally arrived. After getting off the vehicle, He Fen hurried to meet with Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan briefed He Fen on the situation and concluded, "Commissioner He, please arrange for capable personnel to deliver the remnants I've collected to the Central City Processing Bureau. I will mention in my report that this task was accomplished with the cooperation of the branch office."
He Fen, a Third Limit Fighter, felt a surge of energy. As a Third Limit Fighter, he was well aware of his limited abilities. Reaching the Third Limit represented his peak, which was why he had accepted the position of branch office commissioner.
While the path of force was closed to him, the administrative route was an option. Many officials in the Processing Bureau didn't rely solely on force; most of their duties were administrative, not front-line combat. This required sufficient merit.
Clearly, Chen Chuan was promoting him and sharing the credit.
But the prerequisite was successful execution.
He Fen responded seriously, "Supervisor Chen, I guarantee the safe delivery of the items!"
Chen Chuan nodded slightly, gave some additional instructions, and then handed over the scene to He Fen. Afterward, he returned to his convoy and headed back to Yangzhi City.
As the vehicle started, he took the hot drink from the attendant and sipped, contemplating the next steps.
The handling of Kenva and the Specialist's assessment were complete. Honestly, the assessment itself wasn't difficult; it was just following a procedure, as the Specialist had said.
But upon closer reflection, it wasn't that simple.
The key to this task was the swift and decisive identification of the target and ensuring that nothing crucial was overlooked during the process.
This Kenva was different from those he had encountered before. It seemed he had only borrowed power from the opposing existence, not a true possession. Strictly speaking, it was similar to Chen Bitong's use of the Colorful Monster's power.
This made sense as Kenva was an agent of the opposing existence, and his status wasn't sufficient. There were likely others above him.
According to the Specialist, many people in the upper echelons tried to borrow power from the opposing existence. Kenva was from the Linax Federation, suggesting that there might be a group of people within the Linax Federation doing the same.
But was it only the Linax Federation?
What about the Dashi faction?
And the pardon, was it really that simple?
However, he knew that with his current power, he couldn't pursue this matter further, and it wasn't necessary for him to do so.
Strengthening himself was his top priority now. Only with sufficient power would he be qualified to deal with these matters.
And after joining the Purification Sect, he wouldn't face these issues alone. He would have the support of an entire faction.
