153: Chapter 153 The Abnormal Bureau's "Divine Body" Wholesale Market

Donghai City Gymnasium was buzzing with noise.

A massive holographic projection magnified Master Ye's figure dozens of times, hovering above the venue. He wore white robes, his long hair flowing, and his entire body was surrounded by "Immortal Qi" created by cheap special effects.

Below the stage, over three thousand citizens who had just been identified with various "Divine Bodies" were staring eagerly at the high platform.

The air was filled with the stench of sweat, foot odor, and a kind of near-manic heat.

"Family! Believers!"

Master Ye raised the microphone in his hand; his voice, processed by tuning software, carried an ethereal echo.

"Look at yourselves now! I know that in your daily lives, you are scolded by your bosses, despised by your wives, and crushed by mortgage payments until you can barely breathe!"

"But that was the past!"

Master Ye waved his hand violently, and the holographic projection behind him exploded with golden light, transforming into a soaring Dragon.

"After today, you are no longer Mortal! You are gods! You are the Dominator! As long as you drink this cup of 'Chaos Source Liquid,' the shackles within you will be completely shattered!"

Under that massive incitement, the atmosphere in the gymnasium was instantly ignited to the extreme.

"I want to awaken! I am the Primordial Saint Body!" A middle-aged man in a tank top roared, his veins bulging.

"I am the Reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden! No one stop me!" A woman who looked to be 180 jin pushed aside the security guard in front.

Master Ye looked at this scene with satisfaction.

These weren't people; these were walking banknotes.

"Bring the holy water!"

At his command, dozens of Young Miss attendants wearing sheer long dresses walked out carrying trays. On the trays were exquisite little porcelain bottles filled with brown liquid.

These liquids shimmered with eerie bubbles under the lights.

"Drink it! Embrace the new life!"

Master Ye raised both hands high, as if embracing the entire world.

The believers below trembled as they took the porcelain bottles, eyes filled with hot tears, as if they were holding tickets to heaven.

Just as thousands of people tilted their necks simultaneously, preparing to pour the unspeakable liquid into their mouths.

Zzzzt—!

A harsh, piercing feedback from the microphone instantly pierced everyone's eardrums.

Immediately after, the huge central LED screen of the gymnasium turned black without warning.

Master Ye was stunned: "What's going on? Lighting technician! Sound engineer! Deduct their pay!"

The next second, the screen lit up again.

But what appeared was no longer Master Ye's face, which had been enhanced with ten levels of beauty filters, but a white-background, black-text document — "Physical and Chemical Inspection Report."

A cold, emotionless voice transmitted clearly through the dozens of surround-sound speakers in the gymnasium to every corner.

"Dear 'Immortals,' please spit out what is in your mouths first."

"According to the emergency testing by the National Food and Drug Administration, the main ingredients of the 'Chaos Source Liquid' in your hands are as follows:"

"Compound Taurine (Red Bull concentrate), 40% content."

"Industrial-grade glucose, 30% content."

"Tartrazine food coloring, 10% content."

"Sildenafil (erectile dysfunction medication ingredient), 15% content."

"And 5% Ganges River water extract."

The whole venue fell into a deathly silence.

The big guy who was about to drink it in one gulp shook his hand, and the brown liquid spilled all over his pants.

Master Ye's face turned green instantly.

He had added the Ganges River water specifically to add a mysterious taste—how the hell could they test that out?

"Who! Who is playing tricks!" Master Ye roared at the air, "This is blasphemy! This is a provocation against the gods!"

"Blasphemy?"

That cold voice sounded again, carrying a trace of mockery.

"According to Article 124 of the 'Food Safety Law,' the production and operation of food containing drugs shall be subject to a fine of more than 100,000 yuan; if the circumstances are serious, the license shall be revoked."

"Great Master Ye, you haven't even achieved Immortal Ascension yet, and you are already suspected of the crime of producing and selling toxic and harmful food."

Boom—!

The eight emergency exits of the gymnasium, which were originally closed, were violently smashed open at the same time.

The sound of uniform footsteps was like thunder.

Hundreds of fully armed Special Police, holding riot shields, poured into the venue like a black tide.

All the spotlights turned at the same time.

A man in casual clothes, holding a megaphone, was walking up to the high platform via the VIP passage without haste.

Gu Changan.

Behind him followed Chen Xiaobei, carrying a laptop, and several forensic personnel carrying portable spectrum analyzers.

Gu Changan walked to the edge of the high platform, looked down at Master Ye, and then raised the megaphone.

"Let me introduce myself: National Bureau of Abnormal Affairs, Gu Changan."

"Now, everyone listen to the command."

"Put down the 'fake medicine' in your hands, put your hands on your heads, and squat down."

"Whoever dares to drink it, I will call 120 for them to have their stomachs pumped on the spot, at their own expense."

Master Ye looked at the police who had suddenly appeared, his heart pounding, but after all, he was a person with a System, and his mental quality was far superior to ordinary people.

His eyes rolled, and he immediately put on an expression of compassion.

"Believers! Do you see this!"

Master Ye pointed at Gu Changan, his voice filled with grief and indignation.

"This is the jealousy of Mortals! This is the tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao! They want to stop our Awakening, they want to keep us working like beasts of burden!"

"Today, this seat will lead you to break through this cage of the mundane!"

"Where is the Vajra Saint Body! Protector!"

This shout was extremely inflammatory.

Those brainwashed believers' brains instantly heated up.

"Protect Great Master Ye!"

"I have an indestructible body! I am not afraid of you!"

In the first row, the bald uncle who had previously been identified as having a "Vajra Saint Body" roared, tore his tank top, revealing a chest like a skeleton.

His eyes were red, and he felt full of power at this moment, as if he could punch a tank to pieces.

"Ahhh! Mortals, retreat!"

The uncle, like a cannonball, lowered his head and slammed fiercely into the row of riot Special Police in front.

In his view, with this impact, these police officers would definitely be knocked away.

However.

Thud.

A dull sound of impact.

The Special Police did not move at all, and the riot shields in their hands did not even shake.

Instead, the uncle was bounced back by the reaction force, sat on the ground with a thump, and let out a pig-like scream while clutching his shoulder.

"Ouch! My bones! Broken, they're broken!"

Gu Changan stood on the stage and sighed helplessly.

He took a physical examination report from Chen Xiaobei and turned on the microphone.

"Zhang Jianguo, male, 52 years old. Bone density value -3.5."

"Uncle, that's not called indestructible; that's severe osteoporosis."

"With your physique, let alone hitting a riot shield, you'd fracture a bone just hitting a door frame. This isn't how you pull a scam."

The whole venue was in an uproar.

"What? Osteoporosis?"

"Didn't Great Master Ye say he had a Vajra Saint Body?"

Gu Changan didn't stop; he casually pulled out another report and pointed at a young man in the crowd who was preparing to perform a "Fireball Spell."

"Li Qiang, 24 years old, stays up late playing games, endocrine disorders. That on your face is acne inflammation, not some 'Fire Spiritual Root Awakening'."

"And that auntie over there, you don't have a 'Water Spiritual Body'; you have edema caused by severe rheumatoid arthritis."

Every name Gu Changan read was like a loud slap in the face to these fanatical believers.

Reality was cruel.

No divine bodies, no Awakening.

There was only a group of poor people who were exploited by a scammer because of their life dissatisfaction.

Master Ye looked at the restless crowd below, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

The situation was out of control.

His scam was built on mystery and group effects; once punctured by science and data, it was as fragile as a bubble.

"System! System, save me!"

Master Ye shouted crazily in his heart.

"Use skill: Mass Hallucination! Turn this place into a fairyland! Quick!"

As long as he could activate the skill and let these people see illusions, he could still turn the tables!

However.

The System, which had always worked perfectly, now seemed to have crashed.

On his retina, a huge blood-red warning box popped up.

[Warning! High-dimensional rule suppression detected!]

[Warning! The current area has been locked by 'National Destiny'!]

[Target: Gu Changan (Heavenly Dao Enforcer)]

[All active skills have been banned!]

[Suggestion to Host: Immediately put your hands on your head and squat down, and strive for leniency.]

Master Ye looked at the "suggestion" given by the System and was completely dumbfounded.

The System wanted him to surrender?

What kind of plot was this!

Gu Changan seemed to sense something; he turned around and walked step by step towards Master Ye.

His leather shoes stepped on the wooden floor of the high platform, making a tap, tap, tap sound, as if stepping on Master Ye's heartbeat.

Gu Changan walked up to Master Ye, turned off the megaphone, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Great Master Ye, your System doesn't seem to be working very well."

"Did you run out of credit?"

Master Ye stepped back in horror, knocking over the armchair behind him.

"You... you can see it?"

Gu Changan smiled, but there was no warmth in his smile.

"I don't just see it; I also know."

"According to Article 266 of the 'Criminal Law,' defrauding public or private property, if the amount is especially large, the sentence shall be imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment."

"Master Ye, your 'Divine Body' wholesale business is closing down today."
