Chapter 103 Follow-up
“So that’s how it is”

After hearing this, everyone understood and sighed.

To some extent, Suti also suffered an unprovoked disaster.

After explaining the whole story to everyone, Suti also talked about business.

"This incident has caused such a big stir. Not only have so many monsters appeared, but so many innocent people have died. I must give them an explanation. In addition, we are in a low state now, and we must also guard against possible sneak attacks from the Blood Demon Sect."

Although he did not foresee Quiro's attack on the Wine Tasting Villa, it was caused by him, so he should bear all the consequences.

First of all, he must give an explanation for the innocent deaths, and secondly, the newly formed Southern Saint Sect has been severely weakened, and must be repaired and the news blocked immediately to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

As for who would be responsible for cleaning up the mess for him, it would of course be Lin Dong, who was sent by his benefactor Lin Qingyao.

"Notify the disciples of the Southern Saint Sect immediately and have them come back to seal off the scene. The ordinary people they protected earlier cannot be let go either. Have them all come back. I'm going to make a phone call and have professionals come to handle the follow-up matters."

Everyone looked serious when they heard this and nodded.

Soon, under their notification, the disciples who were originally covering the evacuation of ordinary people were called back, and they were asked to seal off the scene and prevent outsiders from entering or leaving. At the same time, the ordinary people who had been protected before were also called back.

Then, Su Ti called Lin Dong.

The call was connected not long after. After Lin Dong learned about this, he was also extremely shocked.

Although he was a member of the Military Commission, he was actually from a mysterious family, the Lin family. He knew a lot about monsters and instantly realized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately notified the relevant departments and asked them to send personnel for support.

People from various departments arrived quickly. Police cars and ambulances with red and blue lights flashing arrived at the scene one after another. Following that came vehicles from special functional departments that were designated to handle this matter.

As the cordon was erected, the scene was quickly cordoned off. First, the assisting police came in to maintain order, followed by medical staff who came in to check on the injured, including Zhu Hongfei and other extraordinary warriors who were seriously injured in the battle.

Finally, people from special functional departments came in. They were all wearing full body protective clothing. The leader was a middle-aged man with a frown and a dignified look. After he arrived here, he immediately took over the command, dispatching and instructing the people below to do things, and asked the team members in protective clothing to pack up all the corpses of the monsters on the scene, load them into boxes and load them into the car, and even the blood on the ground was not spared.

Lin Dong also arrived at the scene with the large army. When he saw the extremely tragic traces of battle, collapsed buildings and walls, and the corpses of various monsters and humans, he was surprised.

This surprise reached its peak when he finally saw Quiro, who was three meters tall and lying on the ground with a big hole in his chest and his head smashed into a deep pit underground and disappeared.

"There's no mistaking this lingering smell. It's the scent of a Level 3 Soldier monster!"

Lin Dong thought to himself, unable to hide the shock in his eyes. He turned around and asked Su Wen, who was holding a bag of oral glucose and replenishing water and sugar.

"What the hell is going on here?!"

When Suti called him earlier, he did not tell him the details of the incident. He only said that a large number of monsters attacked the Wine Tasting Villa and there were many casualties. Although the battle was over, he still asked him to immediately send medical and official forces to seal off the scene, treat the wounded, and guard against subsequent monster attacks.

Suti drank the glucose in his hand in one gulp. This high-energy sugar supplement can restore a person's physical strength very quickly. Although he only drank five or six bags, his physical strength has now recovered a little. He is no longer as weak as at the beginning, but has some strength.

In response to Lin Dong's question, Su Ti began to explain, and the more he explained, the wider Lin Dong's eyes widened, and finally he even interrupted him directly.

"You said that you killed the monster by yourself, and..."

As he said that, he glanced at the thing's head which had sunk to who knows how deep in the ground and asked, "It's still broken like this?"

Suti shook his head: "It was just luck, I almost died too."

In this battle, if Su Ti's will had not broken through and reached the martial arts realm of [Strong Will II], forcing cells to self-destruct to provide energy for the body, Su Ti would have ended up dead.

But Lin Dong didn't listen to this and said without hiding the shock on his face.

"No, no, no, you don't even know what level of strength this monster has. Even among the investigators in the third-class bureau, many are no match for a monster of this level. Do you know what this means? Even among the official anti-monster forces of Shia, only a few people can deal with monsters of this level, and you are a warrior, you are just a warrior!"

When Lin Dong said this, he kept emphasizing Su Ti's identity as a warrior, as if it was an incredible thing for him, a warrior, to kill this monster.

This made Suti a little surprised.

"Isn't this strange? Aren't warriors the mortal enemy of monsters? At least in the history I know, warriors have always been the backbone of the fight against monsters."

Lin Dong snorted coldly.

"Warriors are still fighting against monsters? How long are you talking about? The Wu Dynasty is seven or eight hundred years old. It is now 223 in the Xi'an calendar, and it will be 24 soon. Most of the warriors nowadays are not enough to fight against monsters. Apart from the professionals in the three-category bureau, only bloodline families like our Lin family can fight against monsters."

"Bloodline family? What is that?"

When Su Ti heard this, his eyes moved.

But Lin Dong had no intention of explaining for him.

"Regarding this, you haven't officially joined the Category III Bureau yet, so you can't know for now. Let's talk about this first."

Lin Dong didn't waste any words and started to solve the problem for Su Ti. He pointed to the personnel of the special functional department who were directing the scene not far away.

"These people with special functional departments are all auxiliary departments in the third-category bureau. They are responsible for handling the aftermath, recovering the monster corpses, and comforting the people."

"They will take you all away in a while. With such a big incident and your status as a reserve investigator, investigators from the city bureau will come to question you. Just tell us what you have to say. The Category III Bureau is different from other institutions. It is the brightest force in Xia. You can trust them completely."

Su Ti nodded slightly, and Lin Dong continued.

"The subsequent problems have been solved. The next problem is that you and the warriors of the Southern Saint Sect are all seriously injured. If the Blood Demon Sect wants to attack you next, your situation will be very dangerous."

Su Ti's eyes flickered. Lin Dong hit the nail on the head. Originally, now was the critical moment when the Blood Evil Sect and he were confronting each other. He also had a big move to regain the old members of the Southern Saint Sect. Now the recovery was successful, but he unexpectedly suffered a heavy blow. Even he himself is extremely weak now. As long as the Blood Evil Sect has a normal brain, they will not watch them recover their strength in the face of such a situation. They will definitely eliminate them when they are weak.

"That's what I'm worried about, do you have any suggestions?"

Lin Dong thought about it and said.

"I won't tell you more. I will keep the news here secret for you. Tell the public that you fought with the extraordinary warriors from the four major sects and both sides were seriously injured. However, I can keep this news secret for you, but I can't help you directly with the matter of the Blood Demon Sect."

Lin Dong lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke.

"My current identity is that I am a member of the Martial Arts Committee. I cannot directly interfere in the affairs of the Ancient Martial Arts World. Even if I don't have the identity of the Martial Arts Committee, according to the rules, we, the people of the bloodline families, cannot interfere in the Ancient Martial Arts World and the surface world."

Lin Dong explained the unspeakable secret, and Su Ti did not force it, but pondered for a moment and said.

"Then can you buy me some time to recover? I can handle the matter of the Blood Demon Sect myself."

Hearing that it was just to buy time, Lin Dong took a deep puff of cigarette, nodded thoughtfully.

Then he held out a hand with five fingers spread out.

"Five days. I can only buy you five days at most. During these five days, whether you are taking the experts in the sect to retreat to other provinces for refuge, or preparing to fight them head-on after healing, I can only buy you this much time at most."

"During these five days, you can rest assured. I, Lin Dong, guarantee in my name that the Blood Demon Sect will never attack you or your forces during these five days. But remember, this is only for these five days. Once these five days are over, I cannot guarantee anything else."

After saying that, he looked at Suti deeply, patted him on the shoulder, and left with his hands behind his back.

Originally, Su Ti asked him to buy time for the sake of the eldest lady. At most, he just wanted to buy Su Ti two days to deal with the matter.

However, when he saw the corpse of the level 3 soldier monster again, he suddenly understood the young lady's thoughts.

Perhaps, the young lady is not only repaying the other party a favor, but also making an investment.

Now, Lin Dong has also seen the other party's potential, so he has increased the investment price. The extra three days are his price increase.

Mingguang City, located in a building of a special functional department next to the city’s garrison troops.

At this time, five hours had passed since the incident. All the issues that needed to be resolved had been resolved, the people who needed to be treated had been treated, the surveillance that needed to be investigated, the people who needed to be questioned, the course of events, etc. had all been clarified.

Suti was in an office at this time. The style inside was very concise and simple, but it was definitely not the depressing environment of an interrogation room.

Five hours passed. Through this series of rest, recovery and eating, Suti's body had recovered greatly. Although his cheeks were still sunken, they had become more rosy. His muscles were still dry and flat, but he was no longer as skin and bones as before.

However, even if physical strength and figure can be restored, some things can never be restored.

"I lost at least ten years of my life in this battle."

Su Ti took a bag of beef jerky and chewed it slowly, making a secret estimate in his mind.

For a Buddha warrior, life span is no longer an ethereal and intangible thing. As he can use the magical power of [Indestructibility] to control and accelerate the cell division of parts of his body, he can actually have a vague feeling of how long he will live.

Originally, Suti's lifespan was over 160, which was the common lifespan of Buddhist warriors. In history, the three Buddhas of the Secret Kingdom all lived to be around 160 years old, more or less.

In the previous battle, Suti's cells spontaneously combusted and forced him to transform when he was exhausted, squeezing his physical energy and causing irreparable damage to the cells in his body, greatly reducing his lifespan. Now, the remaining lifespan he has is only enough for him to live to over 150 years old.

And because of the exhaustion of physical strength, Suti's various attributes are now only half of their usual state.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Two middle-aged men in uniform walked in.

The two men were wearing loose blue uniforms, like civil servants in some kind of unit, but the black combat uniforms underneath the loose uniforms revealed that they belonged to a combat unit.

But the strange thing is that in Suti's perception, the aura of the two of them is just that of ordinary people.
