Chapter 1874 - 961: Wildfire Never Dies_3

Lv Yingyue immediately laughed, as if in approval.

Nodded.

"Indeed, this is exactly where both the Security Bureau and the Federation are pulling their hair out lately."

She slowly said, "On the Federation's side, after the Seed of Calamity of the recent Flame Tide disaster went missing, the seeds of the Heavenly Rift, Apostasy, and Time Difference have also disappeared.

In the whole world, multiple lockdowns have suffered losses, probably all stolen by the Evil Cult. Although the Empire is still covering up, the movements of the Locksmith can't escape detection.

At this critical juncture, I'm afraid my old colleagues are already overwhelmed..."

"Already extinguished seeds?"

Ji Jue frowned, the hellish scenes of the past Flame Tide rising again from his memory, causing a vague uneasiness: "Are there other uses for them?"

Lv Yingyue glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Do you know, among the Ruins Series numbered Heavenly Artisan creations, there's one called [Dust]?"

"..."

Ji Jue was momentarily stunned, quickly realizing.

The Ruins Series' transformation of dragons, existing as objects, extinct as disasters, this is destruction and explosion rooted in the material. Even a few tiny specks of Dust, once activated, could cause a terrifying catastrophe covering the entire Central City...

"Seeds of Calamity and such things are similar, although there are differences in details and expression, in terms of long-lasting destruction, it might be even more exaggerated.

Seeds not completely extinguished, once they sprout again, will trigger new disasters and might even catalyze some kind of troublesome Evil Demon..."

Lv Yingyue sighed softly, "The so-called rekindling of dead ashes is just like this."

"..."

Ji Jue was bewildered for a long time, asking in confusion: "Is there no way to completely resolve it?"

"Resolve?"

Lv Yingyue's smile had a faint derisiveness: "When the weather's dry, naturally wildfires run rampant, how can it be resolved? If you can't control the wildfires, managing to save the haystack is already like mending the barn after the sheep are lost.

Things like Seeds of Calamity are more like some deeply rooted problem, entangled in the current world.

Unless naturally withering away and being worn down, there's always a chance they might reappear in some corner of the world with the changes in the Vortex and the present world, even after being destroyed.

Besides lockdowns, there's no better method; if there really was someone who could solve it, perhaps they'd be brought in and dissected for research by those old guys."

"New Spring has already been targeted once, there could very well be a second time."

Lv Yingyue finished the wine in her glass, reminding, "You should be careful, Ji Jue."

"I understand."

Ji Jue earnestly nodded, promising, "As long as I'm here, the Seed of Calamity in the ruins of Spring City will definitely not be a problem!"

Therefore, Lv Yingyue laughed.

She patted his shoulder reassuringly.

"Hearing you say that, I feel at ease."

She smiled, finally saying goodbye: "Take care."

"Yes, you too."

Ji Jue followed her, escorting her all the way to the main building of Coastal Industry, finally waving as she got into the black vehicle, disappearing at the edge of his sight.

In the long silence, he looked up at the overcast sky, thunder rumbling in the distance. It wasn't long before bean-sized raindrops fell from the heavens, leaving patches of mold on the ground, which had dried not long ago.

Unfortunately, the air's oppressive heat was still inescapable.

Ji Jue withdrew his gaze.

Dry weather, wildfires raging.

What good can a brief rain do?

In prolonged contemplation, he held the Ghost Work Ball.

Suddenly, he wanted to go back to the Tide Sound to take another look.
