Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!
Chapter 531 One Eye in the Sky
Xu Hao was sitting in the office of the ZZ City branch of the Bureau of Mysterious Affairs, chatting enthusiastically with Zheng Jinqiang and Shi Shaowei.
The office was filled with a faint aroma of tea, adding a touch of warmth to the simple room.
Their discussion revolved around how the recent batch of players returning from the continent of Fama gradually adapted to the real world.
Zheng Jinqiang was vividly recounting the various hilarious situations a player made because he was not used to modern technology, which made Shi Shaowei laugh heartily, while Xu Hao also had a smile on his face and occasionally chimed in with a few comments.
Just then, Xu Hao's phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang, the crisp ringtone breaking the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the office.
Xu Hao picked up his phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was his secretary calling. He was slightly puzzled; his secretary usually wouldn't call at this hour unless it was an emergency.
"Hello, Director Xu." A slightly hurried voice came from the phone, "Director, something terrible has happened! Those stone slabs that were stored in the secret warehouse... they're gone!"
Stone slabs? What stone slabs?!
Xu Hao was stunned for a moment before he remembered that those were the things he had brought from Tokyo.
Later I got busy and forgot about it.
"Gone? How could it just disappear? That warehouse is heavily guarded, and there are professionals stationed there! That stone slab is that big, did it grow legs?"
Xu Hao's voice carried a hint of doubt, as if he was still wondering if he had misheard.
"The specifics are still unclear. The people at the warehouse are investigating urgently, but... the stone slab has indeed vanished into thin air." The secretary's voice was clearly panicked.
Xu Hao frowned, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
Those stone slabs were extremely important and special items. He brought them back from the altar ruins of the Dragon God after the Battle of Tokyo, at great risk. To ensure their safety, he specially arranged for them to be stored in a heavily guarded secret warehouse, with people guarding them 24 hours a day. How could they suddenly disappear?
A sense of unease gradually crept into my heart; this was not a good sign!
By this time, the arrangements for the guests from Fama had been completed, with most of the experts remaining in Dragon Kingdom. The meetings organized by other countries yielded little result. These countries, intimidated by Dragon Kingdom's formidable strength, dared not say much.
To add to that, Black Shark did indeed join the United States without hesitation.
After this incident, the members of the Bureau of Mysteries were no longer as busy as before. The annihilation of the continent of Fama also brought an end to all monster invasions in the real world.
Xu Hao had summoned the system countless times, only to find that he could no longer sense the existence of the Fama Continent. But the anxiety in his heart never subsided.
His death on Thursday was so suspicious, it just happened without any warning. Could there be something fishy going on?
Sure enough, here it comes!
Just as he was about to ask for details, his phone rang again. This time, the caller ID showed "Director General".
Xu Hao was even more puzzled. Didn't the director say that he and Miaoyu had been traveling the world recently and taking a break? The old couple probably had a lot of fun, but since they were both professionals, they were in great shape.
I had specifically told him before not to bother me unless it was something really serious. Why did I call him today?
Moreover, this happened right after he received the news of the stone slab's disappearance. Could there be some connection between the two?
Filled with questions, Xu Hao quickly answered the phone. Before he could even speak, the director's hurried, slightly hoarse voice came from the other end, his tone unusually grave:
"Xu Hao! Immediately! Open the internal encrypted video live streaming channel!"
The director's urgent voice made Xu Hao's heart sink. This old guy wasn't one to lose his temper easily!
Realizing that things might be much more serious than he had imagined, he didn't have time to ask any more questions. He immediately gestured to Zheng Jinqiang and Shi Shaowei, who also noticed the unusual atmosphere and their expressions became serious.
Xu Hao quickly walked to the computer next to his desk, skillfully operated it, and opened the encrypted video live streaming channel used exclusively by the Bureau of Mystery.
Zheng Jinqiang and Shi Shaowei also came over, and the three of them stared at the computer screen with serious expressions.
The encrypted channel connection was successful. As soon as the image appeared, the three people's pupils contracted sharply, and they gasped.
What appeared in the picture was Miami, a brightly lit, modern city on the east coast of the United Kingdom.
Judging from the angle of the image, it appears to have been taken from a high altitude. The sky above the city, which should be dotted with starlight, is now occupied by six enormous black stone slabs!
Those six stone slabs were none other than the missing stone slabs the secretary had just mentioned!
They hovered above Miami, arranged in an extremely bizarre way, forming a huge, complex array shape that seemed to contain some ancient power.
At the center of the formation, a chilling sight came into view—a huge, eyelidless eye was slowly turning, coldly and indifferently looking down at the city below.
The eye was enormous, almost occupying the center of the entire formation. Its pupil was deep and black, like a bottomless black hole. Just one glance was enough to make one's soul tremble.
What's even more unsettling is that this bizarre scene seems to be being broadcast live around the world!
Countless small windows appeared at the bottom of the screen, displaying live feeds from news channels and social media platforms around the world. Exclamations, screams, and discussions in various languages mingled together like a boiling ocean, clearly conveying the world's shock, panic, and disbelief.
"What...what exactly is going on?" Shi Shaowei was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
In the encrypted channel, the Director-General's solemn voice echoed in the office, breaking the stiff silence among the three.
"In the morning, the exact time was still being urgently investigated, but this strange formation and that eye appeared in the Miami sky without warning, just like a ghost."
The director's voice was unusually hoarse, as if suppressing extreme unease.
The situation in the UK has completely erupted. The public is panicked, various factions are stirring, and the entire East Coast is shrouded in chaos.
On the screen, Miami's night view was still brightly lit, but this prosperity was completely distorted by the eerie sight in the sky.
Six enormous obsidian slabs, like ancient black mountains, floated coldly above the city. They were not scattered randomly, but arranged in an incomprehensible geometric structure, forming a huge circular magic circle, each edge seemingly containing endless dark power.
At the center of the magic circle, the enormous eye slowly rotated, its surface covered with crimson blood vessels, its pupil as deep as a black hole, devouring all light. Just by staring at the screen, Xu Hao felt a chill run up his spine, as if his soul was being spied on by that eye.
Just then, the video feed flickered slightly as an emergency communication signal forcibly entered, interrupting the Director-General's voice. At the bottom of the screen, a prominent red icon popped up—"Emergency Access: President of the Eagle Nation."
