350: Chapter 349 Disrupting Public Sensation

On the official internal forum, many comments had already appeared under the post published by Chu Xuan.

"Chu Xuan, what does this suddenly appearing countdown actually mean? If you know, please do not hide it and tell everyone the truth."

"Exactly. Ever since the scarlet lightning appeared, not only have Dark Rifts been appearing frequently and Strange Creaturess emerging one after another, but some Dark Rifts are extremely special, capable of directly turning large areas into forbidden rule-governed zones, containing rules that guarantee death. In the past, this situation was very rare, but now, just in our small fourth-tier city, three Dark Places have appeared in succession. One girls' middle school even saw two squads wiped out one after another, and even our captain nearly perished inside, emerging only to become a gaunt idiot. Now, a countdown has appeared for no reason, and many people are feeling uneasy, fearing what deadly rules might appear next."

"That's right, the current situation is becoming increasingly difficult to control! Curfew measures and daytime patrols were able to maintain order in the first few days, but now things are somewhat out of control, at least here for us. This has not only placed immense pressure on the general public, but under this high-pressure environment, the emotions of our own internal personnel are also on the verge of breaking, making them difficult to pacify. Especially with the continuous appearance of out-of-control personnel; they clearly haven't been infected by a Specter, but their bodies have already undergone uncontrollable mutations. For now, it's unknown whether this is good or bad, so they can only be isolated for observation, and the potential risks are worrying. Coupled with the sudden emergence of many new Transcendents, in the current situation, many people are acting like 'my fate is up to me, not heaven,' making them somewhat difficult to manage."

"Chu Xuan, do you see? Everyone's life is not easy! Since you are the new Inspector, stepping up at a time like this, I hope you can take charge."

"Cut the crap. Who do you think the Inspector is monitoring? Take a closer look at the notice regarding the Inspector's powers and responsibilities. The primary duty is not to monitor Specters, but to monitor us, the official Inspectors! Their greatest power is the right to conduct on-the-spot trials and executions against us! And this isn't just targeting hidden members of the Resurrection Society."

"What?! We are the ones rushing to the front lines, bleeding and sweating to maintain social stability. Why should there be a knife held over our heads?"

"This is truly excessive! By what right can they hold the power of life and death over us?"

"The key is that you posted such a thread for no apparent reason, and now that so much time has passed, you still haven't explained the cause. Chu Xuan, what exactly are you hiding?"

"I have a bold guess: could the headquarters have already been controlled by Specters? Now that Captain-General Yang Yu is absent, Revelation and Huo Gui have actually been labeled as high-ranking members of the Resurrection Society? This is simply a farce! These two are high-level figures who have made significant contributions. If even they have problems, then who can be trusted? And who cannot?"

"But Supervisory Commissioner Yan Guofa personally vouched for Chu Xuan. He is someone who recently resolved an S-rank Specter incident; Commissioner Yan cannot possibly have any problems!"

Chu Xuan scrolled through the replies on the forum. Most of them were asking for the reason why one should spend spirituality value to make up for weak attributes as soon as possible. A small portion raised questions, and there were even some conspiracy theories. In particular, an account named [Wu Kui Yu Tian] was the most unusual. Just then, the real-time screen on the phone jumped, and this account posted another reply.

"Wu Kui Yu Tian: Of course Commissioner Yan wouldn't have any problems. He has made outstanding contributions and, like Captain-General Yang, is one of our spiritual leaders! But this doesn't prove that Revelation and Huo Gui have problems. In short, I cannot accept that these two are high-ranking members of the Resurrection Society. Additionally, I would like to offer my personal opinion—firstly, Commissioner Yan is advanced in age. After this sudden change in the world, the three Supervisory Commissioners jointly handled an S-rank Specter incident, but afterwards, they suddenly disappeared collectively. When they reappeared, the other two Supervisory Commissioners were no longer there, and only Commissioner Yan returned alive. Could there be some problem hidden within this? Is Commissioner Yan still Commissioner Yan?"

Chu Xuan gripped his phone, narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned his head to say, "Tan Ziming, contact headquarters immediately and find out the specific location information of this person's account."

Tan Ziming and the others were also staring at the screen, and upon hearing this, they were slightly taken aback, then nodded repeatedly and walked quickly to the side to make a call. Just at this moment, that [Wu Kui Yu Tian] posted another comment below.

"Wu Kui Yu Tian: There is one more point. Don't you think Chu Xuan is a bit excessively strong? How long has he been a Transcendent? I have investigated his information. When he was in Haicheng, although his Rank increased quickly, it was still barely explainable. Even killing the Azure Dragon could be barely explained since he relied on a fighter jet. But what about later? Slaying Rank 6 and Rank 7 Transcendents is like slaying a piece of trash on the roadside, and he was even able to force his way into the Hub, disrupting the conspiracy of Huo Gui and Revelation to control the national leadership? I believe the most terrifying outcome is that neither Chu Xuan nor Commissioner Yan are human anymore, and the current official headquarters has already been replaced and controlled by Specters!"

At this time, Tan Ziming finished the call and walked over, his expression looking somewhat ugly: "Boss Chu, I have already used your name to contact the headquarters command, requesting to query that IP address, but the results show that this IP is fake and cannot be tracked. Furthermore, the other party may not be using technical means, but some kind of Transcendent power, because the information cannot be deleted or blocked!"

Chu Xuan's eyes narrowed even further.

At this moment, following the appearance of this reply, more replies quickly appeared below, all expressing worry and suspicion regarding Chu Xuan's identity and the current status of the Beijing headquarters.

"Come to think of it, there is some truth to that. If that's the case, wouldn't the upcoming national offline meeting for captains be a trap to wipe everyone out at once?"

"I hope headquarters can clarify this directly."

"A lot of captains should have arrived in Beijing by now, right? Can you explain the current situation in Beijing directly? Has anyone seen Chu Xuan and Commissioner Yan?"

At this time, the account [Wu Kui Yu Tian] continued to post:

"Even Huo Gui and Revelation were forced away, their whereabouts are unknown, and it's even highly likely they have already been murdered. What can ordinary city captains see? Unless they are already upgraded powerhouses, anyone else going to headquarters is likely just asking for death!"

Immediately after, more replies emerged one after another in the comments section.

"It is said that captains from three cities in a row have encountered Specter incidents on the road and almost died!"

"Your information is outdated. When the Rongcheng captain was taking a plane to Beijing, he was attacked by a flying Specter, and a plane crash has already occurred!"

[Wu Kui Yu Tian] posted a sighing emoji: "It seems I really guessed right. There must be a huge conspiracy in this!"

At this moment, an account named [Wu Po Cang Qiong] posted a comment below:

"Everyone, absolutely do not be led astray by this 'Wu Kui Yu Tian'! Chu Xuan possesses the ability to see through Specters and strip them away; he is definitely being targeted by people from the Resurrection Society! And he has resolved an S-rank Specter incident! He deserves to be the Inspector; everyone else might have problems, but Chu Xuan absolutely cannot. No matter how high the contributions of Revelation and Huo Gui are, have they ever resolved an S-rank Specter incident?"

"Wu Kui Yu Tian: How ridiculous? When has Chu Xuan ever resolved an S-Rank incident?"

"Wu Po Cang Qiong: The Night Demon's Domain in Haicheng covered the whole city, and it was Chu Xuan who resolved it. He is that mysterious powerhouse from back then!"

"Wu Kui Yu Tian: Where would Chu Xuan get such strength? Even if he were cheating, it's impossible to improve so quickly! However, now that you mention it, I am a bit suspicious; Chu Xuan is very likely the Night Demon himself! Because at that time, the Night Demon's Domain appeared quickly and disappeared even faster, likely because he sensed some kind of crisis, so he lifted the Domain, wanting to continue hiding. Additionally, I'm starting to suspect your identity. Could you be a spy for the Resurrection Society? Trying to create confusion here and whitewash Chu Xuan?"

"Wu Po Cang Qiong: Whitewash your mother! I, your father, do not change my name or surname, I am Qin Shaowu! Do you dare to state your name? I'll go offline and 'deal' with you for real!"
