I Have A Dual World Seal

In fact, the Mianbei lightning killing incident was even more sensational than what the Ancient Culture Archival Room had imagined.

Those hundred thousand-plus people at the border inspection station, later gradually increasing to several hundred thousand, weren’t fake; except for a few of the most remote provinces, they were almost spread across all the provinces in the country.

And the ordinary people in the border city of Yunnan Province also have mobile phones.

So this matter first blew up on the domestic internet.

[Heavenly thunder descends to punish, striking dead the local armed leader of Mianbei and the boss behind the telecom fraud industry]

[Mysterious lightning, a thunderstorm that killed over a thousand people in one go]

[Shocking! A Mianbei victim personally reveals the inside story of the telecom fraud industry]

[The real truth of Mianbei, tortures you can’t even imagine]

[The border inspection station exploded—never thought there were this many Chinese in Mianbei]

[Thunderstorms and lightning—are they the power of nature, or weather weapons?]

[Thunder God descends to the world! Cleansing all under heaven!]

[Top secret: turns out Immortals really exist in this world]

[Relevant people in the Southwest say the country’s weather weapons are too advanced to be shown publicly]

Aside from victims telling the truth about Mianbei’s telecom fraud operations, what everyone was most interested in was of course that seemingly sentient golden lightning.

"Mianbei has a tropical rainforest climate. In summer, thunderstorms happen almost every week, but it’s hard enough to kill even one person."

"If anyone dares tell me this is a natural phenomenon, I’ll spit right in their face. At your house, a single thunderstorm can kill over a thousand people, yeah?"

"Superhero, for sure!"

"The Nine Heavens Responding Origin Thunder God Universal Transformation Celestial Venerable has descended to the mortal world to exorcise Demons. I’ve spent too much power recently, so everyone please transfer me 50; once I replenish my energy and Ascend, I’ll take you all with me."

"Actually, Extraordinary Power has always existed in the world, it’s just that in the past the media wasn’t developed, so ordinary folks didn’t know."

"Some of the old unsolved mysteries were actually caused by them. Like the Double Fish Jade Pendant, like the Divine Dragon falling in the Northeast. The most famous one is Hai City’s Nine Dragon Golden Pillar, it’s still there—anyone who goes to Hai City can see it."

"Holy crap? For real or not?"

"I haven’t read much, don’t you dare lie to me!"

"Listen to that nonsense upstairs. If there really were Extraordinary in this world, you think they could hide till now? This time it’s obviously the state testing weather weapons."

"Hey, is this the Allied lightning storm?"

"What’s that?"

"A kind of weapon from the 1980s."

"Does anyone still remember that roughly two years ago, Lighthouse Country Los Angeles had a similar incident?"

"The Los Angeles ten-thousand-people spontaneous combustion incident!"

"These two cases are connected?"

"I suspect these two incidents are Hua Country and Lighthouse Country each testing their own weather weapons.

It’s just that Lighthouse Country used fire, targeting their own domestic lower-class criminal groups, while Hua Country used lightning, targeting overseas criminals.

The facts prove that the weapons technology of both countries has already far surpassed that of other nations.

But Hua Country’s experiment was still two years later than Lighthouse Country’s, which shows that in high-end weaponry we still have a gap with Lighthouse Country and need to keep working hard."

"So that’s how it is, respect the big shots!"

"Nonsense, why can’t it be Lighthouse Country’s superhero and Hua Country’s Cultivator?

I’m telling you, recently whenever I observe the heavens at night, I can see Spiritual Qi reviving—the springtime of Extraordinary Power is about to return!

It’s been exactly six hundred and forty-nine years since Liu Bowen sealed off heaven and earth before his death; that matches the hexagram of the great Dragon flying in the sky."

"Holy crap? Big bro, are you also a Cultivator?"

"Anyone interested can join the group—Classic of Changes full-interpretation livestream course, eight sessions for only ninety-nine."

...

Lin Wan sat in the office, collecting information on the real bosses behind the telecom fraud industry with one hand while casually scrolling online posts with the other, feeling both worried and amused.

She was worried because a lot of people were guessing it was Extraordinary Power; governments around the world would probably investigate along that line too.

She was amused because the internet is a mixed bag, people say all sorts of things, and some are even cashing in on the hype.

"This happened a few days ago, and you’re only finding out now?" Li Ying came over to Lin Wan’s side, craning her neck to ask.

Looking at Li Ying who’d stuck her head over, Lin Wan smiled and said, "I’ve been out playing these last few days, so I haven’t really been paying attention to the internet."

Lin Wan wasn’t lying—she really hadn’t been paying much attention online, though that had nothing to do with whether she knew about the incident.

"Tell me, is this the higher-ups testing weather weapons?" Li Ying’s eyes were shining brightly. "That’s just too awesome!"

"Why don’t you guess that Extraordinary Humans who Cultivate Immortality and Refining Qi have appeared?" Lin Wan asked.

"Tch, I’m not stupid. How could there be people like that in the world?" Li Ying said.

Lin Wan gave Li Ying a strange look, then nodded. "You’re right, I also think it’s a weather weapon—but how can it still be directional..."

"What, you think BeiDou just sits there doing nothing? The resolution of today’s satellite images has already reached centimeter-level."

Li Ying explained to Lin Wan, "If our weather weapon is something like an Invisibility drone that creates thunderstorms, hovering over the scene, then coordinating with satellite images to identify the targets and releasing lightning, that would complete an attack mission."

"So that’s how it works!"

Lin Wan looked suddenly enlightened. "We’re already that powerful?"

"Of course. We’ve already developed sub-orbital vehicles; there are still many high-tech pieces we’re not in a position to show off yet!" Li Ying said solemnly.

Her view was also the view of a portion of people with higher education.

Excluding Aliens and Extraordinary Humans, which would overturn their worldview, the only thing left is naturally high-tech weaponry.

"Makes a lot of sense!" Lin Wan said.

"Just didn’t expect Lighthouse Country’s weather weapons to be pretty impressive too," Li Ying said. "Logically, our R&D capability in advanced weapons should be stronger than theirs.

For example sub-orbital vehicles, ultra-hypersonic missiles, and things like dual-pulse engines—we’re ahead of them in all of that."

Lin Wan held back her laughter and nodded repeatedly. "You’re absolutely right!"

Li Ying didn’t laugh; instead she frowned in deep worry. "Look at Lighthouse Country Los Angeles and look at Mianbei—these weather weapons can already kill people with precision. If the other side pulls this on our soil someday..."

"Don’t we have them too? Since we have them, it means we have defensive measures; the ones who should be worried are other people," Lin Wan said.

"Right, right, right!" Li Ying nodded again and again.

...

After Li Ying left, Lin Wan sent the information she’d just found on the true bosses behind the telecom fraud industry to her own phone.

After checking once to make sure nothing was missing, she forwarded it to Lu Zheng, then added a reminder: "Don’t use weather weapons this time—just make them all have accidents one by one."

When she got off work in the afternoon and walked out of the building, Lin Wan saw Lu Zheng driving the Master M8, with the three women including Si Lingxi, waiting for her by the roadside.

"Let’s go, hot pot tonight!"
