Chapter 1234: Jin Knew Something
“A Barrier that is unable to allow you to use chi, magic and even blocking communications?” Jin thought to himself as he stopped his current work to think about it. “Why does that sound so awfully familiar?”
“The System is unable to find any particular magical spell that matches such effects. Even anti magic barriers and anti chi barriers have their own set of rules to set it up. The System had also looked into trap formations since the current situation had entrapped people from going in or out.” The System stated and Jin furrowed his eyebrows.
“They cannot get in as well?” Jin asked and the System said that the birds which Que Er employed had not detected any movement by the police officers as well as the SWAT team. They are discussing the course of action while employing people to find the root cause. “Oh wow, they even brought in the army people. Kong Rong sure acted fast on this situation.”
“Not only him but the other Royal Zodiac Clan Heads when they heard of the incident. This is because there are VIPs within the Symposium who attended as guest of honour, primarily the Minister of Defence who was there to see the latest development in the Dungeon Instance technology. If proved to be substantially useful for the army’s training purposes, the Minister would then ask the vendors to draw up a proposal for him to consider.”
“Ah. Doesn’t that mean the security should be extra tight?” Jin shrugged whether he should even get involved. It seemed like the other Royal Zodiac Clans had some stake in this and the Dungeon Supplier had already done his part.”
“It is tight but time is of the essence. Without communication into the building, this terrorist attack would be one of the greatest hits against our country. I am starting to suspect that the Banned Emperor is very likely to be involved in this.” Kong Rong suddenly chipped in.
“Aren’t you supposed to be swarmed with coordination?” Jin asked as he decided to go to the loo in his Dungeon Maker.
“Coordination doesn’t do jack shit when we have no eyes inside the building. We are wondering if you can connect some video feeds to us. Probably through the System and your Demon Exorcists employees.”
“The System does not wish to risk exposing itself to the enemy. If the enemy is as Agent Kong Rong had said, there might be a chance they could detect the System and eventually block the signal.” The System replied and Kong Rong could not force the System to do things that it doesn’t wish to perform.
“Say, have you tried getting some of your men into the Convention Expo?” Jin asked as he flushed the toilet and washed his hands and face. There is something bothering him about the barrier and that it felt like he should know the answer but it was at the tip of his tongue.
“You want my men to needlessly sacrifice themselves to go through the barrier? Didn’t you hear what your employees said? They reported that those who tried got burned thoroughly and with them unable to receive aid, they might be in danger of dying.” Kong Rong felt like Jin suggested something stupid and unproductive for the current situation.
“Erm, you have healers ready to heal the wounds and you can activate a few defensive inscriptions before trying. I see no reason why you do not give it a go.” Jin tried to reason his rationale and Kong Rong sighed.
“Fine. Give me a moment.” Kong Rong answered reluctantly and requested the onsite team to do just that. One of the SWAT officers immediately volunteered and he was quickly buffed with a series of defensive spells on him to try entering the barrier. And in the event that he could enter, the officer had also brought with him a few medical kits and a few high grade tonic ampoules with him.
The moment he was ready, everyone in the area was looking at him teeming with anxiety hoping that he would succeed. And as Jin watches the officer through the raven’s eyes. He could see that the SWAT officer dashed into the barrier with a spear too. The spear was supposedly imbued with barrier penetrative properties designed specifically for the police to ambush against barriers. The only problem was that it was not supposed to be used against an area wide barrier and the single use meant that he had one way in and no way out as the barrier would probably regenerate once he broke it.
And as he ran through the seemingly empty Convention Expo, the spear tip suddenly touched onto something when the officer got up to the stairs. The only problem was that it did not break nor burn as per Kong Rong’s report. It merely deflected away the police officer holding the spear and despite attempts to slash at it, it did not seem to be doing anything damage to the barrier at all.
“Lol. I knew it.” Jin saw the entire commotion and the officer’s futile attempt in breaking it. “Boss, you can tell your men to stand down. Even bombardments are not going to tear that so called barrier down for you.” Jin said as he stood up and teleported himself to his room for a change of clothes.
“What do you mean?” Kong Rong demanded answers immediately.
“I must say, they are really quite clever to even think of this, knowing that all the experts would be trapped in there.” Jin remarked as he prepared to wear a comfortable shirt and jacket and a pair of combat pants. “The answer is literally in your face. Even I would not have guessed it if not for the clues given to me.”
“Stop beating around the bush and-“
“It’s a dungeon instance. A god damn authentic one.” Jin said as he made sure that his Bam and Boo as well as his System Rider Device was buckled onto his belt. “Well, I hope it’s authentic because I will be very disappointed if the terrorists used the local servers to whip this beauty of a dungeon instance up. -which sadly, I believe is the case.”
“And as your one and only dungeon supplier expert that is currently not being invited to the Symposium, I might have a way to intervene this.”
