34: Chapter 34 I, a dignified immortal, was reborn, and my story was broadcast live by a drone right from the start.

The "buzzing" sound emitted by that pitch-black "strange bird" seemed exceptionally abrupt on the deathly silent rooftop.

Chen Beixuan's brows furrowed even deeper.

His immense Divine Sense, capable of covering the entire Jianghai City, swept over it and discovered that this thing was actually composed of ordinary iron and some crystals he did not recognize; there was not the slightest Spiritual Qi fluctuation inside.

Was it some kind of Mortal Magical Artifact?

Just at the moment he experienced a Divided Soul, downstairs, that body which should have fallen into a pulp of meat did not produce the expected dull thud.

"Pfft—shhh!"

A loud explosive sound of a massive object rapidly inflating came from the ground.

Chen Beixuan instinctively looked down, his pupils suddenly constricting.

He saw that on the concrete playground below the teaching building, a silver air cushion the size of half a basketball court had been spread out, though he did not know when.

Zhao Tai's fat body slammed into the center of the air cushion like a sandbag, bounced high, and then fell limply.

Although he had saved his miserable life, the extreme terror of falling from such a height had completely scared him unconscious, leaving a wet patch on his pants that was particularly glaring under the sunlight.

Almost simultaneously, several vehicles marked with the Red Cross and police badges slid silently to the building below.

Several medical personnel in white coats and police officers in uniform rushed over, skillfully lifting the unconscious Zhao Tai onto a stretcher. The entire process was smooth and fluid, as if it had been rehearsed a thousand times.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

A sense of absurdity rose in Chen Beixuan's heart.

His script was not like this.

This was supposed to be the first act of his Rebirth, where he would awe the petty villains and announce the arrival of a king.

How did it turn into a clumsy rescue drill?

Before he could figure it out.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

More mechanical noise came from all directions, moving from far to near, rapidly converging.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of black "strange birds" identical to the one just now flanked him from all directions, forming an airtight formation that completely sealed off the entire rooftop.

Beneath each drone, a scarlet dot of light lit up.

Hundreds of red laser targeting dots, like a swarm of bloodthirsty mosquitoes, densely landed on Chen Beixuan's body, from head to toe, leaving no spot uncovered.

The teachers on the rooftop and Su Wanqing were already pale with fright, pressing tightly against the corner of the wall, having even forgotten how to breathe.

Chen Beixuan's expression finally darkened.

"A Mortal's Magical Artifact? A bit interesting."

The contempt in his eyes did not fade.

"But that is all."

He slowly raised his right hand, the Spiritual Qi in his body, which had just recovered less than one ten-thousandth, began to circulate, preparing to instantly turn the invading enemies into dust.

However, he was fast, but the opponent's movements were faster.

"Person inside, listen, you have been surrounded!"

The voice did not come from a loudspeaker in any direction, but was projected directly from beneath the leading drone in front of him.

A blue beam of light intertwined in the air, instantly forming a huge holographic projection.

A young man wearing a deep blue trench coat, with a badge on his shoulder shining with golden radiance in the sunlight, appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

His image was over ten meters tall, hands tucked into his trench coat pockets, looking down with an indifferent gaze at Chen Beixuan on the rooftop.

It was none other than Gu Changan.

However, the uniform he wore had changed from the team leader-level black combat suit to the deputy bureau chief-level service uniform, symbolizing higher authority.

"Chen Beixuan, male, eighteen years old, student of Grade 12 (Class 7) at Jianghai City No. 1 High School."

Gu Changan's image spoke, his voice carrying a metallic coldness, clearly spreading through the drone matrix amplification to every corner of the rooftop.

"How does it feel to have just experienced an Awakening of your past life memories?"

The corners of Gu Changan's mouth curled into a faint arc, carrying a hint of mockery.

"A Rebirth genre protagonist? Immortal Venerable Beixuan?"

"Sorry, we detected it the very first second your Spiritual Qi fluctuation became abnormal."

Boom!

These few sentences were like a bolt of thunder from the Nine Heavens, exploding in Chen Beixuan's mind.

His Immortal Venerable face, which had remained calm for five hundred years, showed cracks for the first time.

How is this possible?

The secret of his Rebirth was his greatest trump card!

How could this Mortal in front of him, this ordinary person without any cultivation, know it so clearly?

Even knowing the Dao title "Immortal Venerable Beixuan" that he only had in the Immortal Realm?!

After a brief shock, there was monstrous killing intent.

Having his secret pried open made him feel unprecedentedly offended.

"Since you know this Venerable's identity, why don't you kneel and beg for mercy immediately?"

Chen Beixuan forcibly suppressed the raging waves in his heart, his voice becoming incomparably cold, attempting to regain the initiative.

"Ant, you have successfully angered me."

"Retreat now, and perhaps I can spare everyone but you. If you dare to chatter again, I don't mind making this area for a hundred miles run with blood!"

Facing this naked threat, Gu Changan's projection just laughed.

It was a chuckle an adult would give while watching a child throwing a tantrum, filled with condescending mockery.

"Run with blood?"

Gu Changan seemed to have heard the funniest joke of the century.

"Just based on your current cultivation, which isn't even at the first level of Qi Refining?"

"Or based on that ridiculous sense of superiority from five hundred years ago in your head?"

He extended a finger and shook it at Chen Beixuan.

"Immortal Venerable, the times have changed."

"Your so-called 'gratification of grudges,' to me, is called attempted intentional homicide."

"Your so-called 'awe-inspiring the myriad worlds,' to me, is called suspected endangerment of public safety."

"Enough talk."

Gu Changan seemed to have lost interest in continuing to chat with him; the last trace of a smile on the projection's face also vanished.

He snapped his fingers lightly.

"Action."

These two words were like the final verdict of the Grim Reaper.

The dozens of military drones hovering in the air instantly changed formation.

The launchers on their undersides opened simultaneously, spraying not bullets or missiles, but beams of deep blue energy.

These energy beams rapidly intertwined and linked in the air, forming an incomparably huge energy net in the blink of an eye, covering the entire rooftop.

Blue electric arcs surged across the net, emitting a "zzzt" sound and radiating a destructive aura.

[High-Energy Particle Binding Net (Immortal Trapping Version)]

Alarm bells rang loudly in Chen Beixuan's heart; from this net, he felt a fatal danger capable of threatening his Divine Soul Origin.

Without thinking, he stomped his feet hard, preparing to use his movement technique to evade.

However, just at the moment he mobilized his Spiritual Qi, an invisible pressure came from all directions.

The Spiritual Qi in his body seemed to be frozen, and its circulation speed slowed down by more than ten times.

That blue net descending from the sky was fast to the extreme, giving him no time to react at all.
