Chapter 2157: Chapter 2157: asures Against Psychic Evolvers

The players trapped within the lockdown barrier were nurous; those from the Outer Zone who wished to cause trouble were imdiately stopped by the Municipal Governnt players and driven away from the hotel vicinity. Inside the lockdown circle, all remained calm. A large number of ordinary people instinctively moved towards the edge of the lockdown barrier without waiting for notification from the Municipal Governnt. Everyone consciously brought their defense devices, and those without one at hand quickly applied for one from the Law Enforcent Team nearby.

Xu Huo swam against the current. Along the way, he overheard soone discussing Dou Shengnan’s abilities, worrying that they may be hypnotized without knowing it. If they were to inexplicably go mad and kill or commit suicide, he asked their companions to hold them back.

Ordinary people in Lichuan City remained optimistic, joking among themselves that if they felt hypnotized, they would knock out their companion or inject them with a muscle relaxant. This way, there would be no chance of murder or suicide.

The rapid developnt of technology and economy has given ordinary people the confidence and assurance to deal with extre situations.

But such asures would not be necessary for the ti being, unless Dou Shengnan wished for the Municipal Governnt and Military District to officially intervene in the battle.

Like other players focusing on the situation, Xu Huo frequently changed his position because his ntal power could not always penetrate barriers to observe the hotel’s interior and exterior due to various locking and interference devices. After changing positions seven or eight tis, he still failed to discern any difference in each appearance of Dou Shengnan inside the hotel.

From his observation, three Dou Shengnans could appear simultaneously at the sa place. Unlike his different personalities, these Dou Shengnans were indistinguishable in appearance, expression, and behavior patterns. These were not separate personalities but rather dummies congealed by Dou Shengnan’s psychic power.

With dummies everywhere, where was the real one?

Xu Huo searched every corner of the hotel yet failed to find any distinct place, as if Dou Shengnan’s spiritual power evenly spread across every inch of the hotel’s walls and floors...

The human eye is easily deceived: an object too small may be right before one’s eyes yet unseen, and conversely, an object too large also cannot be discerned when directly in front of one.

Dou Shengnan’s spiritual world may well cover the entire ten-kiloter lockdown barrier range, and if she is not in the hotel, she could be elsewhere.

Just as Xu Huo hesitated over whether to probe with his spiritual power, the city’s street lights suddenly brightened as if it were ti for them to be uniformly illuminated; all lights within the lockdown barrier emitted the sa blue glow.

Players in Lichuan City clearly understood why these lights were on, expressing amazent: "Could it be that our entire city is within Dou Shengnan’s spiritual world?"

Xu Huo’s expression shifted slightly, as he relaxed his spiritual world in a small area around him. Indeed, the blue light emitted by the street lights in his vicinity was brighter, drawing the attention of surrounding players.

Such a grand move, Lichuan City had even added a spiritual power detection system to the entire city’s public lighting. Once activated, it made it unnecessary for Super Evolutionaries to distinguish, as anyone could see the presence of a Super Evolutionary with ntal Powers nearby.

Apart from Xu Huo’s location, the area near the hotel shone brighter, as both Dou Shengnan and Super Evolutionaries from the Chunlei Organization were present there.

However, it did not shine much brighter than elsewhere. Again, it showed that Dou Shengnan’s spiritual power was equally distributed within this lockdown barrier.

For reasons unknown, the Chunlei side added several more Super Evolutionaries, along with a few cannon barrels.

These cannon barrels were not actual attacking weapons. When Dou Shengnan disappeared in front of the Chunlei mbers once again, one of them activated a cannon barrel, launching a cone-shaped tip with a filant thinner than silk into the place where Dou Shengnan had just vanished.

The energy from the cannon barrel flowed along the filant to the cone tip, which sprayed into the air, revealing strands of black mist that spread like veins, extending out of the window under continued energy infusion, until they combined with energy from other cannon barrels, gradually forming a towering tree of black mist inside and outside the hotel.

The density of the mist varied; it was not constant. The black mist was especially dense where Dou Shengnan appeared, and her spiritual power’s movent tracks, both new and old, could be relatively slowly detected and anticipated through these variations.

Not only players like Xu Huo who ca from outside, but even local players from Lichuan City were astonished by the scene. It seems they did not expect that Zone 008 would possess so many thods to restrain a Super Evolutionary with ntal Powers, making it difficult for Dou Shengnan to remain invisible.

The instrunts inside the hotel began to flash frequently again, but this was rely to pin down Dou Shengnan, as the black mist tree had not ceased its growth. One of its branches and leaves started extending further away.

If Dou Shengnan truly was not in the hotel, she must be in the direction the black fog was extending.

Soon, Dou Shengnan disappeared from the hotel and appeared atop a building. She stood on the tower, glanced at her pocket watch, and snapped her fingers towards the sky.

In an instant, whether it was those gathered nearby to watch the excitent or those trying to move closer to the lockdown barrier edges, both ordinary people and players instantly froze in place.

The city suddenly fell silent, with only Chunlei mbers slowly erging from the hotel, surrounding Dou Shengnan on all sides.

"What do you intend to do?" a Chunlei mber shouted as they saw the distant scene.

Dou Shengnan surveyed them; her bright eyes devoid of human emotion, soon passing them to look far away. "The Military District seized the opportunity to collect data on my spiritual power and hastily made manifested cannons to track

down. Why hide and let a minor player organization face the front?"

A mont later, Lichuan City’s Yang Chong appeared, holding a sound amplification device. Standing at a distance, he pressured Dou Shengnan to release the hostages or else the Law Enforcent Team would intervene.

Dou Shengnan stood straight, her long coat fluttering in the wind. She ignored the Municipal Governnt’s warning, saying instead, "What can you even do?"

Obviously, Zone 008 is not so easily threatened. Yang Chong raised a tal activator and, after flipping the switch, defensive devices on nearly everyone within the lockdown barrier automatically activated. The Defense Sphere launched and simultaneously entered self-destructive interference mode, causing all affected by Dou Shengnan’s psychic power to fall into unconsciousness under the spray of potions within a second.

Without self-control, people could not beco Dou Shengnan’s hostages. With the crisis resolved, Municipal Governnt Law Enforcent Team mbers began coordinating.

However, at this mont, the lockdown barrier at a non-gaming venue crumbled from one corner. Dou Shengnan leaped from the high tower, killing several nearby Chunlei mbers mid-air!
