Chapter 191 Zhang Huo
The system was still refreshing the news. After noticing Long Xiaoxiao's disappointment, it pondered carefully and immediately understood the source of her sadness. So it quickly comforted her: "Xiaoxiao, you are the most powerful little dragon I have ever seen. Look, this mission is almost complete. When you go home, you will be a great benefactor of the dragon clan."
Fortunately, Long Xiaoxiao's emotions came and went quickly. After a few minutes of silence, she decisively decided with the system to go to the scene to find out what was going on.
Because many people were suddenly saved before the stone statue crashed down on them, many people believed that the Azure Dragon God saved them, while Long Xiaoxiao, who is at the center of the story, knew nothing about it.
Long Xiaoxiao flew very fast, arriving at the scene even faster than the reconstruction team sent by China. As soon as her figure appeared on the horizon, many people knelt down and kowtowed.
"Lord Azure Dragon God!"
"Long live the Azure Dragon God!"
"The Azure Dragon God has arrived!"
"..."
People immersed in grief saw Long Xiaoxiao's shadow, and their sadness subsided somewhat. They knelt down in Long Xiaoxiao's direction, shouting her name with utmost respect.
Zhang Huo, who had anticipated the arrival of the system and Long Xiaoxiao, breathed a sigh of relief and was eager to recognize them, but then realized that the current situation seemed inconvenient.
Long Xiaoxiao was hovering above the crowd, her eyes scanning everything below with a probing gaze. If Zhang Huo were to run out at this moment, Long Xiaoxiao might not even be able to see him.
Thinking this, Zhang Huo restrained himself from rushing out.
The system scanned everything below, and suddenly, as it passed a group of people, it shouted, "Reinforcements have arrived!"
Dragon Xiaoxiao, who was still flying, suddenly braked, glanced at the crowd below who were all staring at them with admiration, and asked in confusion, "Where is he?"
The system focused its efforts on scanning the crowd below, but the results were disappointing.
The familiar aura that flashed by just now did indeed taint the people below, but Zhang Huo was not among them.
"Never mind, as long as I know Zhang Huo is lurking in the shadows nearby, that's enough," the system thought, and stopped searching for Zhang Huo's whereabouts.
"It's alright, he's nearby. You can continue with your work, he'll come looking for us later." The system's tone was confident.
The system had known Zhang Huo for a long time; both were long-time employees at headquarters and were familiar with each other.
Seeing the system say this, Long Xiaoxiao nodded in confusion and continued to circle and fly.
Because Long Xiaoxiao stayed for a relatively long time, when the reconstruction team sent by China arrived, they happened to see Long Xiaoxiao flick its tail and disappear into the clouds.
The Azure Dragon God is here? They were somewhat surprised. Just as they embarked on their journey away, the Azure Dragon God was clearly still eating on Star Hidden Mountain. In the blink of an eye, he had returned. As expected of the Azure Dragon God!
Thinking this, everyone's admiration for Long Xiaoxiao deepened even further.
I simply went into the clouds and had the system project my image to cover my body. As soon as I came out, I saw that my faith value had slowly increased by a little bit.
Long Xiaoxiao: ?
She snapped out of her daze, glanced at everything below, and her expression turned slightly serious.
She had just detected that familiar dark aura on the broken stone statue, which confirmed that it was the work of the time-traveling fugitives. However, Long Xiaoxiao felt that guarding this place would deter the fugitives from showing themselves again, so she had the system activate the projection.
The system was busy listening to Long Xiaoxiao's ramblings while simultaneously scanning the crowd below to see if its old colleague was among them.
The Chinese reconstruction team arrived just in time. With their help, the bodies trapped under the stone statues were pulled out one by one. Although Zhang Huo was secretly manipulating things, the death toll was still very high.
Long Xiaoxiao noticed the mournful cries of the departed souls and suddenly felt a pang of sadness. She had recently performed a ritual to help a group of departed souls pass on to the afterlife, but now she was too weak to perform another one.
Upon seeing the pitiful state of their loved ones, the people, whose emotions had just calmed down, began to wail again. Their cries were heart-wrenching, revealing their sorrow and despair.
Long Xiaoxiao watched, but it was no use.
She even felt a little guilty, thinking that it was all because of her that those time-traveling fugitives liked to bully people so much, and now their deaths were all related to her.
She didn't tell the system about this idea; if she had, the system would definitely have given Long Xiaoxiao a serious talking-to.
Among the team that came to carry out post-disaster reconstruction were two familiar figures: Tang Xuan and Tang De. They packed their things and rushed over immediately after receiving the message from their superiors.
The top leadership in China believed that the accident was caused by external forces, but it was very strange, so they simply let the Department of Supernatural Affairs intervene.
Long Xiaoxiao was quietly waiting for the time-space fugitives to appear in the clouds when she suddenly spotted Tang De and Tang Xuan in the crowd. She instinctively wanted to rush over for a closer look, but was stopped by the system.
Only then did Long Xiaoxiao belatedly realize that she had been lying in ambush with the enemy, so she silently retracted her tail and flew back to the clouds.
Zhang Huo concealed himself in the crowd. He had a typical Asian appearance and looked out of place among them, but fortunately, the scene was in complete chaos, so no one noticed him.
He simply weaved through the crowd, his sharp eyes scanning the people around him.
Based on his past experience, time-traveling fugitives are a bunch of cold-blooded guys. If this situation were to occur, they would most likely return to the scene to witness everyone's immense suffering, and then secretly laugh to themselves.
Zhang Huo had caught fugitives near the crime scene several times before, and he felt this time would be no exception.
As he cautiously observed the conversation around him, Tang De and Tang Xuan were also walking in the crowd. They were not very strong and could not be of much help, so they simply lingered around for a while, with the same idea as Zhang Huo.
The three of them met like that.
Tang Xuan, who was always perceptive, suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhang Huo when she sensed the strange energy fluctuations, her eyes wary and intense.
Tang De was startled by Tang Xuan's sudden action. Following her gaze, he saw Zhang Huo's figure and his expression became exactly the same as Tang Xuan's.
Zhang Huo also felt those two burning gazes, and looked over to meet the eyes of Tang Xuan and Tang De.
Strange... These people have a faint aura of darkness about them, but judging from their eyes and posture, they don't seem to be time-traveling fugitives.
While Zhang Huo was still wondering, Tang De and Tang Xuan suddenly walked over, took out handcuffs without hesitation, and snapped them onto Zhang Huo's wrists.
Zhang Huo: "Huh??"
