I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 231 Defensive Magic Treasure! The old Taoist priest is truly vanquishing demons!

【Spirit Jade Ball (Magic): This is a special defensive magic item in the game Shushan Swordsman. After casting it, it can trigger a protective shield for defense.

Current level: 1 (can be upgraded)
Upgrade requirement: 5 reputation!

After reading the notes, Chen Han really felt that he could make more wishes to the game system in the future. He had previously asked for more spirit stones, and as a result, he got a lot of spirit stones.

That's why I thought about getting a Demon Blood Stone and then a defensive treasure. With defense and the Demon Blood Stone's healing, what would happen once I mastered the basic sword control technique?
Now, a defensive magic item has actually dropped.

Moreover, it's a treasure that can be upgraded with reputation.

In such a situation, if the magic artifact, the Spirit Jade Ball, can withstand the bullets, what would happen if it were placed in an army?
Thinking about it, he walked over and put one of the pistols into his game inventory, intending to take it back to test the defensive effect of the Spirit Jade Ball.

Li Rui rushed in from outside, looking at the crowd inside and the computers displaying fluctuating data.

Then, he saw the unconscious little girl and decisively dialed Huang Xin's number. After the call connected, he said, "Captain Huang, bring people up to the top floor of Building 9. The person is here, and the child is here too!"

As he spoke, he immediately dialed 120 for emergency medical assistance.

After doing all this, he immediately bowed respectfully to the old Taoist priest Chen and hurried off to examine the child.

Just as he had guessed, the leader's child was kidnapped by these people.

Previously, news was released about cracking down on overseas fraud, especially the arrest of more than 2000 people from fraud gangs in Myanmar.

These are just the main members; there are many more peripheral members, mostly from the Qingmin area.

In Linhe County alone, more than 130 people are on the suspect list, and more than 30 of them have already fled the country.

Most importantly, one of the ringleaders was captured in Linhe County. It was because that leader kept pressing him that the other party was able to escape.

Therefore, when he saw the old Taoist priest Chen come here and the leader's child went missing again, he felt a little uneasy.

It's important to know that in their line of work, cases of family members being retaliated against are not uncommon.

There have been instances of revenge, such as injecting children with drugs to damage their brain nerves and prevent their intelligence from developing again, or even chopping off children's hands and feet as revenge.

These people don't kill children, but they use this method of killing and destroying their spirit to make the hero live a lifetime in pain, self-blame, and remorse.

The world is not as peaceful and safe as everyone imagines; it is truly protected by the sacrifices and silent efforts of many people.

Therefore, when he saw the child, his bow was very sincere.

A moment later, there was another commotion; Huang Xin had arrived with his men, and Chen Han received another game notification:

[Congratulations! You have completed the Demon-Slaying quest and eliminated the peripheral members of the Wutai Sect issued by the Shushan Immortal Alliance. Reward: 10 Beginner Spirit Stones!]

When Chen Han saw the reward, he felt that the task was completed, but wasn't the reward a bit stingy?

However, considering that two groups of Wutai faction peripheral members had already obtained Demon Blood Stones and Spirit Jade Orbs, he decided not to bother with the game system.

The key is that he received another 10 low-level spirit stones, bringing the total number of low-level spirit stones in his game inventory to over 20, enough for him to cultivate for a while.

Huang Xin then saw the child, especially when there was an injection syringe next to him, which made it clear that it was intended to be used against the child.

Fortunately, the liquid inside had not been injected yet.

I can't even imagine what would have happened if this old Taoist priest, surnamed Chen, had arrived any later.

This prompted him to stand up and bow deeply to the old Taoist priest. The others, upon learning the situation, understood what was going on, and they all bowed sincerely to the old Taoist priest in unison.

Seeing this, Chen Han didn't say much. The mission was complete, and he left the room. It was time to go back to the Chen family.

Upon seeing this, Huang Xin immediately ordered a police officer, "Drive the old Taoist priest back to the Chen family!"

The police officer nodded and respectfully followed him into the elevator.

As the elevator doors close and it descends.

Li Rui stood up grimly and kicked the nearest person hard: "Cuff them all and take them back. Also, take all the evidence from the scene. Don't forget anything."

The others nodded and immediately began putting silver bracelets on these people, a rough process, and everyone was clearly very angry with them.

Afterwards, Li Rui also checked the injuries of these people, which were much more serious than those of the previous group, all of them with penetrating wounds.

Moreover, his injuries were somewhat similar to those of Sun Hai from before, which piqued his curiosity.

Suddenly, his gaze fell incredulously on the cabinet next to him, where half a toothpick was stuck, and it was stained with blood.

"How is this possible?" Li Rui exclaimed in surprise, a sense of disbelief creeping into his mind.

The ambulance arrived quickly and took the little girl to the hospital for a check-up to put her mind at ease.

Li Rui and Huang Xin took everyone back with them. There were two groups of people this time, so they were going to be very busy, since the case of Liangmei Group was still not closed.

However, they enjoy this kind of busy work.

We should have more of this kind of free, readily available, and well-documented service.

Nearly 30 people were arrested at the two dens, and mobile phones and computers were seized. The fact that it happened in a central commercial plaza and a residential area immediately made it the most sensational event in the entire Linhe County.

In places like Linhe County, if more than 20 people discover something, post it on their WeChat Moments, and then share it in a few groups, almost everyone will know about it in a very short time.

Even after the people were brought back, some people with connections were able to quickly find out the information, and two gangs related to fraud in Myanmar were busted.

If it were just this news, these people wouldn't be surprised. After all, those with connections know very well how many people are trapped in the Qingmin area.

Many of those people who were involved in such activities more than a decade ago have ended up in jail for similar reasons.

What truly surprised them was receiving a piece of news related to the old Taoist priest of the Chen family, the one who appeared and disappeared like a dragon in the video.

The video left those who received the news somewhat bewildered, but they couldn't find out the specifics at all, until they saw a live stream video of a female anchor online.

The title is: "Female anchor unexpectedly discovers an old Taoist priest punishing evil during a live stream."

The video begins with a female livestreamer normally hawking and selling products, but no matter how hard she tries, not many people buy anything.

This is also the reality of grassroots live streaming. Don't be fooled by the millions or tens of millions of sales achieved by top streamers in a single live stream; this is the reality for these smaller streamers.

Seeing the potential for making money through live-streaming e-commerce, countless people flock to it, but many of them end up as cannon fodder.

But as soon as the female anchor called out, "Old Taoist Master..." (or rather, the one from the Chen family), the video suddenly changed.

You can even see comments in the live stream questioning the female streamer, after all, why would Master Chen come to a place like this?

It wasn't until the female streamer took her live-streaming phone outside that the live stream showed an old Taoist priest lifting a large man up by the neck with one hand.

This scene truly stunned everyone; how much strength does that take?

As for the screams coming from the office behind, even if the female anchor was too timid to go in, she could guess what had happened inside.

The sight of the man who had been knocked away and was lying on the ground vomiting blood explained everything.

Only then did police officers appear in the footage.

"Everyone, be rational. That's not some old Taoist priest named Chen. It's someone we arranged to disguise himself. You have to believe in science!" As for the uncle's explanation in front of the live broadcast camera, nobody believed a single word. They're not blind.

The Chen family had just defeated a group of robbers, and now that elusive old Taoist priest from the Chen family has caused such a big incident, the hype exploded and the video spread like wildfire.

Some people from the neighborhood even posted footage of the old Taoist priest appearing in the neighborhood.

Now everyone was guessing that both groups of people who were arrested must be related to that old Taoist priest.

Such a scene is indeed quite shocking. You know, other martial artists on the internet go to great lengths to promote themselves and prove their skills through various means, but Chen's style is based directly on actual combat.

Moreover, this is something that martial artists absolutely cannot learn, even if they wanted to, because only those people would dare to confront a criminal gang.

The sheer skill with which that old Taoist priest grabbed the burly man by the neck with one hand and lifted him up is something that probably no martial arts practitioner or fitness enthusiast on the entire internet could accomplish.

Naturally, the event gained popularity and attracted the attention of various online celebrities, especially comment bloggers.

These people gain traffic by commenting on trending events.

That's what 'echo' means.

Echo is a middle-aged man with a square face. He speaks with a distinctive accent, giving him the air of a news anchor. As a result, his comments on trending events, which often contain some valid points, have earned him a considerable following.

Huixiang himself also set up a studio and recruited a team.

Many people assume that he is the only one with such an account, but that's not the case. When commenting on trending topics, the biggest mistake is taking the wrong stance and commenting on things that shouldn't be commented on.

Therefore, team members need to have a good understanding of each trending event, and finally, choose the right side to speak out.

The recent surge in popularity surrounding Master Chen has naturally prompted him to capitalize on the trend, leading him to have his team members gather information online.

Suddenly, a team member exclaimed, "Boss, this seems to be part of a storyline. Look at this video of the horn blaring."

I checked the echo, and it was the one that honked the horn, saying that someone was attacking the Chen family and that it might anger the Chen family, leading to a video of the Chen family performing a demon-slaying ritual.

Normally, he wouldn't have paid any attention to such abstract videos, since the kidnappers clearly intended to abduct the wealthy woman. But now things are different.

The old Taoist priest Chen's sudden move was like an exorcism of demons.
This immediately inspired him, and he wrote an article on the spot. Then he instructed people to record it as soon as possible. These commentary bloggers are all about seizing the moment.

He said to the camera, "Everyone has seen the news about Master Chen online. Let me explain it to you. The incident was caused by Master Chen's workshop head protecting that wealthy woman."

“That wealthy woman has a good relationship with the Chen family, so the Chen family naturally has to protect her. But the key issue is that some foolish group actually tried to kidnap her, which is tantamount to a provocation against the Chen family.”

"So, the head of the Chen family's workshop directly dealt with those kidnappers. But this matter obviously angered the Chen family. Just as the whistle- ...

"From the seized cell phones, computers, and even some weapons, including a gun, you can tell that these people did something big."

"This is the Chen family's way of intimidating those petty scoundrels. It's a way of telling them not to act recklessly in front of the Chen family, or the Chen family will make them pay the price."

"However, what Echo is most curious about is how the old Taoist priest of the Chen family knew about the existence of those two gangs. It's obvious that those uncles didn't know and were just following him to take advantage of the situation."

"Could it be that the Chen family can predict the future?"

After recording the video, Echo uploaded it immediately, and given the current popularity, it quickly became a trending topic.

Moreover, he was the first to connect all of Chen's affairs into a coherent storyline, making it remarkably coherent.

So, Master Chen was truly exorcising demons and making an example of them.
Especially the last two sentences of the echo: How did the old Taoist priest Chen know about those two gangs?

Is it really possible to predict the future?

This surprised not only netizens, but also people in Linhe County and Chuping County when they received the report.

He learned from Li Rui that the county had no information about the two gangs.

Most importantly, the old Taoist priest also saved the granddaughter of a county leader, which is the most fortunate thing.

"How's the interrogation going?" Chu Ping asked Li Rui and the others, surprised but not forgetting to inquire.

Li Rui hurriedly reported: "The preliminary interrogation has yielded some results. They are all peripheral figures related to Myanmar, and the matter is quite significant. The main ones are the second group of people. The source of their weapons may be the same as that of the kidnappers. Therefore, the old Taoist priest did not randomly hire people to exorcise demons!"

This surprised Chu Ping even more; the old Taoist priest from the Chen family was truly mysterious and unpredictable.

Li Rui then said, "The leaders in the unit have already instructed us to remove any mention of that old Taoist priest Chen from the written record. Also, one of the weapons is missing; it must have been taken away by that old Taoist priest. The leaders told us to pretend we don't know anything about it."

"Yes!" Chu Ping nodded.

This is the best approach.

To be honest, he had seen those people's wounds, and their power was no less than that of the weapon. The key point was that Li Rui's report indicated that the wounds might have been caused by toothpicks, so the other side really had no reason to use that kind of weapon.

Li Rui then asked, "In Chu County, there's a huge buzz online about this old Taoist priest surnamed Chen. How should we respond?"

Chu Ping stated directly, "The uproar online has nothing to do with us. We will follow Huang Xin's advice: those were our undercover agents, and the videos online are all fabricated. We must trust science."

"Understood!" Li Rui nodded and went back to report to his superiors.

Not long after, Linhe County issued a relevant announcement stating that the two gangs had been under surveillance by Linhe County for a long time and were apprehended today. They hoped that people online would not believe or spread rumors and would trust science.

This left many people looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering why they didn't believe or spread rumors and instead trusted science.

Let's see if everyone believes you?
While the internet was abuzz with rumors, Chen Han had already returned to the Chen family and removed the disguise of the Thousand Illusion Mask, transforming back into the young and handsome head of the Chen family.

Seeing that it wasn't completely dark yet, he headed straight to the back mountain, intending to experiment with the spirit jade ball.

Having obtained this defensive artifact, one should at least know how strong its defensive capabilities are, so that one can be confident when it comes time to use it.

If we're going to test this thing's defense with bullets, we definitely can't disturb the tourists, otherwise, if they hear it, it might cause trouble.

Fortunately, he had scouted the back mountain beforehand, so he knew its conditions and where would be suitable for experiments.

After entering the back mountain, he went directly to a secluded and suitable rocky cliff before taking out the spirit jade ball.

This is a jade-like sphere covered with mysterious runes.

As he activated it, the runes on the spirit jade ball lit up instantly, condensing into a blue light shield that enveloped him.

The light shield seemed to flow like a fluid, which was truly amazing!
He tried to extend his palm and passed directly through the light barrier.

This made him frown.

With a wave of his hand, he activated the spirit jade ball again, causing it to float two meters away and re-condense into a protective shield.

He reached out again, but this time he was blocked outside the light barrier.

Therefore, this defense is outward-facing; attacks can be launched from within, but attacks from the outside will be blocked.

In that case, if the protective shield isn't broken, it's unimaginable what would happen to him inside the Spirit Jade Sphere shield, even if he had a few boxes of toothpicks with him.

However, when he took the pistol from the game inventory and fired a shot at the Spirit Jade Sphere shield, the shield shattered instantly, and the bullet hit the rocks behind it, scattering a burst of sparks.

That defense is way too weak!
