Group Slap

Chapter 148

The helicopter hovers in the night sky, its red-lit camera trained on the Administration building not far away.

Along with the wave-like rush of the demons, the dim magical shroud shimmered with a vague shimmer in the darkness.

The sound of a firefight was faintly heard from inside.

"...... This unexpected wave of magical creatures has had the Administration building under siege for over three hours now, and according to projections, it will take over two hours for even the closest reinforcements to arrive... ..."

A cacophony of whirling paddles whistled in the background, and the gusting wind almost blew the reporter's voice away.

"According to the information, the Administration has just issued a notice regarding the control of this new breed of magical creatures a few hours ago, and we still don't know whether this wave of magical creatures is related to the notice or not. ......"

The wave of magical creatures apparently targeting the Administration building has caused an uproar online.

A panic spread uncontrollably.

"It can't be? Are these demons really attacking with purpose and organization?"

"I think it's a real possibility, after all, the Administration just sent out a message a few hours ago, and now they're under siege by this demonic creature, thinly veiled."

"Crap that's too scary, doesn't that mean that these demonic creatures are not only able to read human information, but they can also make planned attacks based on that information ...... holy shit this level of evolution is a bit scary, right?"

"And now the Administration should not have had the time to pass out the method of dealing with these magical creatures right ...... In case it really gets stuck here, then wouldn't it be ...... "

"Oh my god oh my god oh my god, panic panic panic."

At that moment, the camera of the live broadcast suddenly turned around and focused on a spot behind the tide of demons.

The silver-haired man's form appeared so clear and distinct, like a sharp blade plunging straight into the darkness, breaking through the thick cloud of despair.

"!!! It's Mu Hang ahhhhhhhhhh!"

"!!!"

"Here comes the save!!!"

"Suddenly relieved, just now really have been scared ......"

"Wait, who's following Officer Mu around?"

Although the camera is slightly shaky, it can clearly see that Mu Hang did not come alone, a strange teenager followed him, with a fair and harmless face, a slender figure, a delicate and fragile sense of vulnerability, as if he would be swallowed by the darkness in the next second if he were not followed by Mu Hang.

"Is it also an ability?"

"I don't recognize it ...... I don't think I've seen it before?"

Suddenly, someone made a connection between the melon they ate this afternoon and the present scene:

"...... Holy shit I remember, isn't this Shi An who was at the amusement park with Officer Mu during the day today?"

"Huh? Him?"

"Ah this ah this ...... is actually that loser?"

"While I recognize Mu Hang's strength, it's not right to bring your trashy little mistress in such an occasion emmmm"

"Indeed, it's really confusing."

"Wait what are you all talking about, can someone give some preliminaries?"

"[Link] Click on this and see for yourself."

The two men off-camera are clearly unaware of the changing winds of public opinion, or perhaps it would be more apt to say they don't care.

The two of them were very close to each other, every now and then they pressed together and whispered something, and even if they didn't know what they were talking about they could feel the intimacy and closeness that flowed from that body language.

The two of them moved forward side by side, and not far away the dense tide of demonic creatures seemed as if it had been startled by something, a wave of unease surged through the blackness, and even through the lens, one could hear shrill hissing and whistling.

"Wait wait wait, is it just me? Are these demons backing up?"

Indeed, with Mu Hang and Shi An as the starting point, the clear-cut boundary line of the entire group of magical creatures was concave inward, retreating in the opposite direction as if in fear of some kind of existence.

"...... Are they that smart? Backing off at the sight of Officer Mu?"

"How naive is upstairs? It's impossible for even the most intelligent demons to retreat at the sight of a human, did you guys not see how ferocious these demons were when they attacked just now?"

"Even the most powerful humans don't have that, thank you."

The teenager tilted his head and whispered something into Mu Hang's ear.

Mu Hang seems to chuckle, then nods and stops.

Only the teenager was left to walk forward.

In the next second, the hissing sound from the demons became even more shrill, and this time, even ordinary civilians could hear the powerful fear contained in that sound.

The demons scratched at the ground with their claws restlessly, and the stabbing, stabbing sounds converged into a piercing wave of sound.

It was as if an invisible wall approached from in front of them, forcing them to retreat step by step with an irresistibly strong pressure.

"Somebody explain this, I can't read it anymore."

"Me too."

"Me too."

"Take me one."

Only the teenager raised his hand, and a cluster of orange-colored fire sprang up lightly at his fingertips, the faint heat of the light appearing distinctly clear in a dull darkness.

"...... Am I misremembering? Wasn't Shi An registered as a Power Department?"

"Hahahahahahahahaha this fire really gives the master a laugh."

Immediately after that, the black pressurized group of demonic creatures moved, as if they had seen their arch-enemy, they let out miserable screams, and then ran as fast as they could in the opposite direction, fleeing frantically without any thought of life, even if they trampled the bodies of their other companions underneath their feet.

No one saw what happened next.

Seemingly with the help of the wind, and as if the cluster of light and fluffy embers possessed life, the fierce flames rose up at first, and the waves of fire roared towards the group of demons in front of them, engulfing the darkness one after another with an unstoppable momentum.

The black color of the demon was replaced by a searing, dazzling orange-red, and the mournful hissing was wrapped in a raging sea of fire.

It was as if the entire world had been set ablaze and engulfed in a terrifying heat wave.

It was as if heavenly punishment had descended and hell had appeared.

"......"

"......"

"......"

A long silence fell over both the pop-ups and the comments section.

As if several centuries had passed, and as if only a few seconds had passed, the tide of demons that had been densely packed just a moment ago had already been swept away, sporadic orange sparks accompanied by the embers that had yet to be extinguished slowly ascended into the sky, and there was only charred and blackened dust left on the ground, and the thousands of demons were wiped out under the annihilating and terrifying power.

The teenager turned his head to Mu Hang and waved his hand.

Mu Hang stepped forward and naturally reached around the teenager's thin waist, smiled and lowered his head, gently planting a kiss on the other's forehead.

Then the two men stepped inside the rising energy shield and their backs disappeared into the Administration's slowly closing doors.

"......"

"......"

"......"

The silence is still spreading.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed, a comment hesitantly popped up.

".................. Did I just hallucinate? Is someone coming to slap me to wake me up?"

*

Although he had seen the power of the Dragon Flame long ago, witnessing it so close up was a different matter.

Everyone inside the Administration was dumbfounded, staring fixedly at the group of demons that had turned into ashes outside the shield, unable to return to their senses for a long time - because they really couldn't accept that the tide of demons that they had just struggled so hard to repel with all their might had actually been wiped out so easily.

The gap in strength was so overwhelming that it made them barely rise to a semblance of reality.

Wen Yao was the first to react, and she greeted them with a quick step:

"Sir."

It was only then that the Acting Secretary came back with an afterthought.

He collected the complex expression on his face, took a deep breath, and walked forward, "Officer Mu, thanks for coming to save the day this time, otherwise we really don't know what to do ......"

Mu Hang lifted those blue eyes towards the Director and said lightly:

"You're thanking the wrong person."

The Acting Director froze.

Wen Yao spoke up at the right time, "What Officer Mu means is that Shi An was the one who cleared the tide of demons this time, so you should thank him even if you are saying thank you."

Acting Director: "............"

The corners of his eyes twitched and his expression became a bit stiff, but finally he stiffened and slowly twisted his head to look at Shi An, who stood beside Mu Hang : "Indeed, indeed, thank you very much, Lord Gargoyle."

Mu Hang: "And?"

Acting Director: "......"

Mu Hang : "You seem to have said more than that to me just now, don't you?"

Acting Director: ".................."

His face stiffened even more.

Finally, he took a deep breath and praised in a dry voice, "Giant, Lord Dragon, without you, we really don't know what to do, many thanks for saving us from the fire at the critical moment ......"

After nearly three minutes, when the Acting Director stumbled more and more and even began to rack his brain for more words of praise, Shi An finally interrupted him mercifully:

"Gee, no need to thank me."

The teenager blinked and pursed his lips a little shyly.

The Acting Director's eye twitched even more.

You're welcome?

You said that three minutes ago!

The teenager held out his hand and said naturally, "Words don't matter, payment does."

"......"

The Acting Director almost lost his breath.

Wen Yao nodded approvingly, "Indeed."

She twisted her head to look at the Acting Director, "I believe that Administration will not default on the bounty payment, in that case, I'll bring Lord Gargoyle forward to the Administration Warehouse to pick up the payment, what do you think?"

The acting director's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "...... Thank you, Captain Wen, for your trouble."

Wen Yao gave a salute without changing his face, "It is what my subordinate should do."

Immediately afterward, she beckoned to Shi An and led him toward the Administration's underground warehouse.

The crisis was resolved and the other Administration members returned to their posts.

Mu Hang eyed the teenager's joyful back, and a hint of laughter swept under his eyes.

The Acting Director took the opportunity to move forward and try to break the ice.

He said in a deliberately intimate manner:

"Mu sir ah, I have to say, after you left, the whole Administration is not the same as before, we all miss you very much it, I wonder if you have any plans to ......"

Mu Hang: "No."

He is very happy with his career out of office and is not prepared to change that now.

And for him to sacrifice his time with Shi An to continue to come back and work for the Administration?

Dream on.

Acting Chief: "Well, you should at least hear me out on the conditions ......"

Mu Hang: "Not interested."

Acting Director: "......"

All the paths were blocked, and an embarrassed look could not help but appear on his face.

However, Mu Hang seemed to have thought of something at this moment, and turned his head to look at the Acting Director, narrowing his eyes slightly, his long silver-white eyelashes concealing the thoughtful look at the bottom of his eyes:

"But ...... I do have an idea."

For some unknown reason, the Acting Director suddenly developed a sense of foreboding.

After the crisis of the Administration being besieged by a wave of magical creatures was lifted, the internet blew up even more than before.

The discussion of the keyword "Shi An" soared instantly and almost overwhelmed the servers of several websites in a short period of time.

Some people thought that Shi An must be a strong person with a deep secret if he was chosen by Mu Hang.

However, some people believe that this is all for show, a crisis communication made by Mu Hang to turn around the image of his lover, and it is obvious that some kind of props were used to cause that effect to deceive the public, but what kind of props can cause such a phenomenon, they can't come up with.

So, as soon as Administration's official homepage was updated, it was immediately posted by netizens who are always on the lookout.

Mu Hang's name was not added.

However, at the end of the list of members of the Combat Section, a separate compartment was opened.

Highly paid foreign aid: Shi An.

Race: Dragon.

"......"

"......"

"......"

".................. I think I'm hallucinating too, can a group slap be cheaper?"
