Chapter 437: Chapter 248 I Said I Would Make You a God!
"Uh..." After listening to Liu Tingruo’s flat narration, Jiang Shu also felt no choice but to continue, "So you’ve put another difficult problem in front of me?"
Was he expected to perform a group resurrection magic in public?
And it wasn’t that simple; after performing the group resurrection, he would have to use a new derivative entry to save thousands of people in E3 district?
Forget it, I might as well be a great magician.
"So for you, is this very difficult?" Liu Tingruo then countered with a somewhat provocative question.
"Of course it’s difficult. I can’t think of a new resurrection magic technique, especially not the more difficult group resurrection," Jiang Shu let out a sigh and openly admitted.
He did say that magicians are best at turning the impossible into possible...
But that was just bragging, much like Liu Tingruo’s grand declarations after a few drinks, not something that should be taken literally.
After all, there’s a fundamental difference between magic as a performance art and magic as a supernatural ability.
"Can’t we just follow the routine from last time? I can create more mechanical people who’ve been ’resurrected.’" Liu Tingruo looked as if she wanted to help.
"Performing the same magic principle and magic routine twice will greatly increase the risk of someone catching the flaws," Jiang Shu shook his head, disagreeing, "Plus, there’s not enough time. Last time, preparing Lu Yi’s mechanical body took two to three days even when we had all the materials ready."
The last resurrection magic had been performed as a television program. That kind of routine could be used once, but twice? The people of Lonely City would definitely notice there was something amiss.
"Alright then," Liu Tingruo’s tone was slightly downcast, "So what’s your plan? Are you really going to call on Tang to deal with this?"
"If it wasn’t for what you said in front of him, I probably would have done just that, but now, that’s absolutely impossible," Jiang Shu chuckled, "Don’t worry, leave it to me. How could I let you lose face in front of that dreadful man?"
"Eh?" Hearing this, Liu Tingruo was taken aback, then couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile, "Okay, I’ll be waiting."
"Hey, the situation is very urgent right now, do you two really still need to flirt like this?" The fox in the back seat couldn’t help but comment, having heard what Jiang Shu said.
The three of them had already joined up, along with Diller who had been knocked out and tied up, and now they were sitting in the car, rushing towards the direction of E3 district.
Then, Jiang Shu and Liu Tingruo began their lengthy phone conversation.
"Okay, okay, let’s just leave it at that; as long as you’re aware of what you’re doing, if you can solve it smoothly, then tonight..." Liu Tingruo also heard the fox, her cheeks blushing, and she hung up the phone without finishing her sentence.
In fact, she had a lot of things to do. With her assistance, Shu Bao would be able to hack the Fifth District’s city network much faster.
Like now, Shu Bao had reconfigured the traffic light system, allowing Jiang Shu and his party’s car to hit green light after green light, speeding unhindered towards E3 district.
Besides that, it had spread the word about the situation in E3 district, using the city’s broadcast system, only employed in times of war, to warn nearby residents to take cover at home.
News of the incident had also spread across the Fifth District network, and under the looming pressure of public opinion, the Terrorism Control Bureau and the police had also started moving towards E3 district.
Furthermore, it had displayed subjectivity and brilliantly spread false information.
The black-clothed hunters were all T2-level combat sequence robots that had gone completely out of control. A warranted roundup was issued in E3 district, with each black-clothed hunter valued at 500,000 Feather Coins. Those from E3 district with or formerly possessing a combat sequence could verify their strength to join in the pursuit.
Not only did this further strengthen Jiang Shu’s combat forces, but it also gave them a perfect reason to appear in E3 district—
We are just a group of heroes spurred by interest.
This also avoided the possibility of Jiang Shu and his party being attacked for inexplicable reasons by the Terrorism Control Bureau and the police.
It was nothing short of masterful.
One could say that while his sister, Liu Tingruo, was flirting over the phone, this humble single little robot had already taken on far too much responsibility.
"Eh?" At the other end of the phone call, Jiang Shu, sitting in the passenger seat, also put down his wristwatch, smiling helplessly before turning to look out the window at the cityscape whizzing by, "She didn’t even make clear what’s happening tonight, this woman."
Lang Tai was driving the car at breakneck speed, and Jiang Shu’s heart was gradually calming down as he began to ponder the current situation.
There were already more than a hundred casualties in E3 district, and as Tang had said, his options now were not many.
If it weren’t for Liu Tingruo’s interruption, he might have chosen to resurrect Tang and then let Tang solve this situation.
This would be the most rational and effective solution, and the downside of this plan was equally clear—if Tang were resurrected as a normal person, Jiang Shu had no confidence that he could completely control him.
After resolving the situation, if Tang received help to operate public opinion, his social status would see a new round of elevation. By then, it might not be possible for Jiang Shu to kill him again and make him "disappear."
So, this game might very well revert back to square one, which was something Jiang Shu didn’t want to see.
Being so close to victory and yet possibly being turned over, that was something he could not swallow.
Liu Tingruo’s speech had just given him a reason to change direction.
Group resurrection, an ability he didn’t possess, but if he could perform such a magic act again, perhaps he could acquire the relevant derivative entry.
