By the time the two of them arrived at the West District Hospital, the place had already been reduced to a field of rubble.
Kneeling around the ruins were some ordinary citizens, their mouths chanting something about the Lord of Rebirth and Communion.
When he heard this title, Su Baadao’s expression turned somewhat grim.
“The Lord of Rebirth and Communion? Another cult?”
“Are they performing some kind of ritual?” Wang Gen asked, frowning.
“The Lord of Rebirth and Communion? That name sounds familiar. I think I’ve heard it somewhere before.”
As they spoke, the two of them descended.
Since Su Baadao appeared on television frequently, the common people were naturally not strangers to him.
Seeing such a high-ranking figure arrive at the scene personally, the people were deeply moved.
“It’s Mr. Su! Mr. Su has come to save us!”
“Mr. Su, you are truly the best official I have seen in all my decades of life.”
“Mr. Su! Mr. Su!”
Su Baadao heard the cries of the people, but his face remained solemn.
“It is very dangerous here. There could be aftershocks at any moment. Everyone, please do not stay here for too long.”
As he spoke, he turned and pointed toward a road.
“I checked when I was coming here. The tall buildings along this road have already collapsed, so the danger from aftershocks is much lower.”
“Following this road will lead you directly to the Central Square. There is a professional emergency medical team there. Everyone, head in that direction!”
Upon hearing this, the people began to move.
In their eyes right now, Su Baadao was a savior!
Meanwhile, Wang Gen pulled aside a couple of people to ask for information. When he heard that it was the Lord of Rebirth and Communion who had manifested a miracle to save them, Wang Gen’s expression also darkened.
One of the common methods cults used to recruit believers was to give them a little taste of sweetness first.
It was just like the tactics used by many scammers; if there wasn't a little bait, who would fall for it?
Especially with these so-called deities that no one had ever heard of—they were the least trustworthy of all.
Rebirth, Communion—neither of these sounded like the authority of an orthodox deity.
“How did you find out about this Lord of Rebirth and Communion?”
Wang Gen asked. The person didn't hide anything and explained the matter of going to the faith clinic.
Wang Gen and Su Baadao exchanged a glance, both deciding to go and take a look once this matter was settled.
After all, although the group looked like a cult, everything they had done so far was a good deed.
For instance, saving people during this earthquake—no matter what their ultimate goal was, they had indeed saved lives this time, and that was a good thing.
After the two of them directed the hospital staff to escape, they began searching for the source of the tremors.
It wasn't long before they found an Earth Dragon Jar at the original location of the hospital basement. Along the way, they rescued several people, including a hospital director.
“Mr. Su, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to our rescue.”
“At the time, a red light shot toward us, and the hospital entrance was blocked by falling rocks. In the emergency, I could only lead the patients to hide in here.”
“A red light?”
Wang Gen keenly caught the most important part of the sentence.
“Yes, a red light.”
“That red light was extremely powerful; it pierced right through our hospital walls. There was a security officer with us at the time. I sent him out to seek help while I stayed inside to evacuate the crowd.”
Su Baadao’s face turned grim.
“This thing was triggered by someone.”
“That means we haven't killed them all yet!”
“Can you get this Earth Dragon Jar back?”
Su Baadao looked at Wang Gen. Wang Gen had already brought back two before this, and his spirituality and divinity had been heavily drained.
However, Wang Gen still gritted his teeth and said, “No problem. But after I send it back, I need to rest and reorganize.”
“I’m not trying to be lazy, but since the cult hasn't been completely wiped out yet, I’ll easily run into trouble if I have no power left.”
“Understood.”
Su Baadao agreed. He then took off a necklace from his neck and handed it to Wang Gen. Without another word, he soared into the sky.
Wang Gen glanced at the necklace; it was a Substitute Life Doll.
...
“Auntie, have some water.”
“Ah, thank you, young man. Where is your boss? Have you gotten in touch with him yet?”
“Not yet.”
Nie Pi had a look of worry on his face.
But as a cripple, there wasn't much he could do in this situation. The only thing he could do was pray sincerely.
‘Great Lord of Rebirth and Communion, my boss is your believer, and I am also your believer. Please, you must protect him.’
“Meow~”
Just as Nie Pi finished his prayer, he heard a cat’s cry.
“Huh?”
He quickly turned his head and saw Canned Food walking over, wearing sunglasses.
“Cat Boss? Where’s the boss? How is he?”
As soon as he said those words, he felt as if he had gone mad—actually asking a cat questions.
“Meow.”
Canned Food ignored him entirely and stepped up onto a high platform.
Following its cry, the surrounding cats began to gather around.
This scene caught the attention of many people.
“Meow meow meow~”
“Meow meow!”
Canned Food had a serious expression. Under its command, the cats headed off in all directions. Nie Pi had no idea what it was trying to do.
In the crowd, Sister Qu looked at Canned Food and felt a strange sense of familiarity.
‘This cat looks a lot like the Lord Divine Envoy.’
Although their physical forms were different, their temperaments were similar, and even the way they walked was alike.
But before she could get a clear look, Canned Food also left the area.
“Cat Boss!”
Nie Pi called out and tried to chase after it, but his leg simply wouldn't let him move that fast.
Sister Qu walked up to him and asked, “Do you know that cat?”
Nie Pi narrowed his eyes at her, having no intention of revealing any information.
Seeing this, Sister Qu smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous. I’m not a bad person.”
“I heard your prayer just now. Are you also a believer of the True God?”
Nie Pi didn't relax after hearing this; instead, he became even more guarded.
When a stranger proactively approached to find a common topic, there was a high probability they had designs on you.
Sister Qu was very familiar with this expression. Seeing his reaction, she didn't ask further, but silently noted the name on Nie Pi’s work uniform.
Gold Medal Pest Control Company!
...
Su Baadao searched the area but couldn't find who was firing the signals. However, he did find the last Earth Dragon Jar.
He followed Wang Gen’s example and transported the Earth Dragon Jar back to the Security Bureau.
Because of his unique pathway, he was clearly much more elegant about it, at least not looking as disheveled as Wang Gen.
Just like that, four Earth Dragon Jars were placed in front of the Security Bureau.
However, at this moment, the red dragons swimming within them seemed to have lost their energy core and were completely motionless.
The security officers guarding the Earth Dragon Jars saw Su Baadao and quickly saluted.
“Mr. Su.”
“Where is Bureau Chief Wang?”
“Bureau Chief Wang went to the scene.”
“I see.”
Su Baadao acknowledged him. Before he could say anything else, several clerks from the Command Center ran over.
“Sir, there is feedback from various departments that requires your final decision.”
“Sir...”
Su Baadao felt a massive headache coming on.
...
“What? The hospital collapsed?”
The surgeon inside the tent looked shocked, and then felt a secret sense of relief.
Fortunately, he hadn't gone over there earlier for the sake of a little honor; otherwise, what if he had been buried inside?
With a heavy heart, Zheng Guang set down two large bags of medical supplies and said, “Yeah. Dong Yang, Dong Yang he...”
Hearing this, the surgeon was even more shocked. He turned to look behind Zheng Guang.
Originally, he thought the young man had gone elsewhere to help, but looking at it now, did he not come back?
Just as he was thinking this, the tent flap was pulled open from the outside, and Yin Yang strode in.
“What happened to me?”
