Inside the central control room of Jiangcheng's surveillance system, the screen was completely black.

The staff member in charge of the daily monitoring work in the monitoring room immediately reported the incident.

At the same time, the entire monitoring system broke down, which is unprecedented.

If the news leaks out, the city will descend into chaos. The biggest concern is that criminals might take advantage of the situation to do something out of control, making it extremely difficult to investigate and prosecute them.

They initially thought it was a problem with the city's network, but after inspection, technicians found no issues.

The monitoring system is connected normally, but it's not displaying any video feed.

Upon receiving the news, the defaulter immediately rushed to the control room to check. Within half an hour, technicians from all over the city gathered to investigate where the problem lay.

Twenty minutes passed, and there was no progress.

"The debtor is a deadbeat; we can't find any problems." The technician scratched his head, looking worried.

He's a top expert in the industry, so how could he not find such a small problem with the monitoring network?

Other technicians also shook their heads.

No one noticed the problem with the black screen on the surveillance camera; in fact, it could be said that there was absolutely no problem.

"Then why did the screen go black? And why did it go black at the same time? Give me an explanation."

The debtor frowned.

He stood with his hands on his hips, staring at the black screen covering the entire wall.

Fifty minutes have passed since the surveillance cameras malfunctioned, almost an hour. If this drags on any longer, and the news leaks out, the whole city will be thrown into panic.

His biggest worry is that criminals might take advantage of the situation to do something, which would be terrible.

At this moment, the door to the control room was pushed open from the outside: "Old Lai, someone posted the message online, but our network department discovered it in time and suppressed the message, so not many people saw it."

"Keep a close eye on it!" Old Lai squinted. "Go check the IP address that sent the message."

"Yes."

The subordinates worked tirelessly to check the IP address's location, but this couldn't go on forever, and everyone in the control room looked worried.

"What should we do?"

"Is it possible that it can't be fixed?"

"Pah, pah, pah, how could that be? The higher-ups will definitely find a way to fix it. Without surveillance, the whole city would be in chaos."

Without the constraints of surveillance, criminals can become unimaginably rampant.

Old Lai stared intently at the blank black screen, his eyes darkening. He turned and went out to make a phone call.

Song Qingge, who was out shopping, had already circled the street several times and looked up at the surveillance camera in the distance.

Ding.

Her phone rang, and she glanced at the caller ID, unsurprised.

connected.

"Was the surveillance camera hacked?"

Old Lai, who was initially very anxious, was caught off guard and asked in surprise, "You already know?" Had the news still gotten out?

So far, only their internal staff know about this. Who could have leaked it?

"I just noticed it." Song Qingge stared at the lingering black mist on the monitor. "I'm going to the control room now."

In the morning, when she went out, she indeed discovered the people Pu Shengwei had sent to monitor her, who were hiding in the shadows.

The purpose was to learn about her schedule and habits, so that I could make my move at the party three days later.

Master Liangxin's concealment technique was extremely secretive, but for her, who was also a sorcerer and could use invisibility talismans to hide herself, it was easy to see through this little spell.

Since we're going to play along, we can't expose their scheme. Anyway, I left home early today to go shopping and enjoy myself, so I'll put on a show for them.

It's time to shake off this little tail and get down to business. Song Qingge turned her head and caught a glimpse of the person hiding behind her, a slight smile playing on her lips.

He took a step to the right and caught the huge mobile food stall to block his view.

The little tail quickly followed.

When he rushed to the food stall, Song Qingge was nowhere to be seen.

……

Fang Kai knocked on the office door and rushed in to report the situation.

"It's been an hour, and the surveillance cameras are unusable. What should we do?"

If this drags on any longer, it will be very difficult to find the construction company once the surveillance cameras are restored.

They secretly withheld the money intended for the party, knowing full well that they would be investigated, and they would certainly disappear from Jiangcheng as quickly as possible.

"According to the investigation, this group of people have been swindling people everywhere, using the same tricks to cheat a considerable amount of money in several neighboring cities. Apart from Mu City, they have not been there yet."

Mu City is an extremely yin place. Someone once went there to swindle money and run away, but he was involved in a bizarre car accident on his way and died on the spot.

Perhaps they are afraid of the same situation happening again.

"Check the surveillance footage from Jiangcheng to Mucheng. Also, check all the entrances and exits. If the surveillance footage inside Jiangcheng isn't enough, then check the surrounding areas."

He refused to believe he couldn't find it.

"Check their cash flow records again. They've made money, so they'll definitely spend it."

Fang Kai lowered his head: "Yes."

Twenty minutes later, Song Qingge arrived at the first floor of the official office building, but was stopped by security guards when she tried to enter.

"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't a place where just anyone can come in. Let's get out of here."

Song Qingge glanced at the security guard's uniform, noticing the name tag pinned to his chest.

The job title is above the name.

It reads "Intern Security Guard".

"Old Lai asked me to come and fix the surveillance cameras."

The trainee security guard looked her up and down, then chuckled, "Young lady, you're only eighteen, right? You know how to fix security cameras? Do you have a work ID?"

Song Qingge pursed her lips.

She wasn't issued a work permit for the metaphysics department by her superiors.

Seeing the young girl hesitate, the trainee security guard understood: "Too many people like you try to sneak in by chance. Hurry up and leave, or you'll get caught by a big shot and get a reprimand."

Obstructing official work is something that will be noted.

Especially in emergency situations.

"By the way, young lady, how did you know the security cameras were broken?"

The instructions from above are that absolutely no word of this matter should be uttered to anyone.

"I told you I came to fix the security cameras, and Old Lai came to me personally... Never mind, I'll make the call."

Song Qingge turned around and dialed a phone.

The trainee security guard muttered to himself, "Hey, they're putting on quite a show. I've seen plenty of these. Don't think you can sneak in while I'm off guard. Let me tell you, if you dare to force your way in, I'll make sure you can't get out."

He sat down on a chair in front of the security booth, crossed his legs, and adopted a slow, conversational tone: "Young lady, don't say I didn't warn you, at your age you should be back in school studying properly, not thinking about all sorts of nonsense all day, and don't let it happen again. This time I'm letting you off the hook because you're young, but don't you dare..."

"Uncle De, what are you doing! This is Master Song, the guy we hired to fix the security cameras, and you dare to stop us?"

As they were talking, the young man in work clothes jogged up to Song Qingge, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Lai asked me to pick you up, but I suddenly had diarrhea on my way down and had to go to the restroom. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

Uncle De was dumbfounded.

He stood up from his chair: "Xiao Nuo, who do you think this eighteen-year-old girl is?"

"Eighteen years old?" Xiao Nuo chuckled. "This is Master Song, the only national-level metaphysical master and the successor of the Xuanmen sect. Master Song found a solution to Jiangcheng's madness and saved the lives of all the people in the city."

Teacher Lai specifically asked Master Song to fix the surveillance cameras, and you delayed him by five minutes. If something had happened, I think you'd be out of a job.

Upon hearing that he was about to lose his job, Uncle De hurriedly shuffled forward two or three steps.

He grabbed Xiao Nuo's hand and said, "Xiao Nuo, please put in a good word for me. I really can't afford to lose my job again. My elderly mother is hospitalized, as you all know. If I don't have a job and no income, I won't even be able to afford food."

His mother was hospitalized, and he spent half his life savings on her treatment.

His elder brother and younger brother were not in Jiangcheng. He was the only one who took care of his mother, running around and taking care of her throughout her hospitalization and surgery.

Although she had grievances against them, a mother couldn't just ignore them.

Xiao Nuo sighed, "I understand, but you... never mind, let's talk about it later. I'll take Master Song upstairs first; fixing the surveillance cameras is the priority."

After saying that, he was about to "invite" Song Qingge inside.

Song Qingge didn't move: "Uncle De, your mother will be out of danger and wake up tonight. Remember, you must go to the bank tomorrow to withdraw all your savings."

"Why?" Uncle De asked without a doubt.

I was busy taking care of my elderly mother for a while and didn't pay much attention to what was happening outside, but I had heard of Master Song's famous name.

"Does money just disappear if it's in the bank?"

Song Qingge smiled faintly: "It didn't run away on its own." She looked directly at Uncle De with her almond-shaped eyes.

The words weren't explicitly stated, but Uncle De already understood.

Who else could it be but the eldest and youngest brothers fighting over their share of the inheritance while their mother was critically ill?

Previously, when my mother's health was deteriorating, they called back several times to ask about her condition, and one out of every three sentences they mentioned the savings in her bank account.

Uncle De bowed gratefully, "Thank you, Master Song, thank you! Will my mother be alright?"

As long as Mom is alright, everything will be alright.

"Hmm." Song Qingge's almond-shaped eyes flickered slightly.

After saying goodbye to Uncle De, they immediately took the elevator upstairs to the control room.

creak.

The sound of the door opening echoed through the quiet room.

All eyes instantly focused on the doorway, everyone's face tense as they stared intently at it.

Upon seeing Master Song, I let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Someone excitedly covered their mouth.

"Oh my god, it's finally here!"

"Master Song can definitely solve this!"

"Aren't you all blindly trusting her? Can a sorcerer really solve problems related to surveillance technology?"

The boy's voice, neither too loud nor too soft, carried just enough to fill the quiet space. Song Qingge glanced at him with indifferent eyes.

The boy's expression flickered, but he stood up straight.

With her arms crossed over her chest, she said, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

A system problem that even a group of technical personnel couldn't solve, yet a mere sorcerer could resolve it?

Arabian Nights!

Song Qingge smiled faintly, withdrew her gaze, and walked straight to the main control machine for monitoring.

Her almond-shaped eyes focused, landing on the thick black aura emanating from the main unit.

She smiled slightly: "As expected."

These words reassured the lazybones, who became so excited his voice cracked: "Master Song, do you know what happened?"

Fortunately, he had a wild idea and decisively decided to find Qingge; otherwise, if they had been locked up all day, they probably wouldn't have been able to solve the problem.

"Hmm, it's nothing serious." Song Qingge took off the tattered bag.

Xiao Nuo, with her keen eye, pushed over a luxurious swivel chair for the technicians and placed it on Master Song's bag.

Acting as a lackey: "Master Song, please feel free to order me around. I'll get you whatever you need. You don't need to bother, just focus on tackling the difficult problem."

Song Qingge smiled.

They're quite an interesting young man.

Xiao Nuo: It seems... I'm two years older than you?

He pushed over a luxurious seat: "Master Song, please!" He also placed a lumbar support pillow on it.

Upon seeing this, the technicians quickly stepped aside and gathered around to watch.

My hands are never idle; I have paper and pen ready, prepared to take notes at any time.

They were curious about what the problem was that even they couldn't solve. They would have to go back and study it carefully to improve their skills.

Song Qingge held out her hand: "Xiao Nuo, give me a yellow talisman."

"twitter!"

Xiao Nuo presented it with both hands.

Just as Huang Fu was about to drop his hand, the door to the control room was suddenly flung open.

The assistant, panting heavily, went to check the IP address: "Old Lai, this is terrible! The news has gone viral online!"
