From-DIDIDA Novels
“What?” Kong Rong could not fathom that what they were dealing with was a dungeon instance rather than a barrier.
“That is the theory that I have and It fulfilled all the conditions when I think about it. Tell me, a barrier is supposed to have one particular property and perhaps two, correct? But if you think about it, there is no way for an anti magic and anti chi barrier to be placed in the very same place considering that they have many conditions to meet.” Jin explained.
“If you do not create an anti magic barrier with chi, the only way to do so is to put magical inscriptions and with the barrier that size, there is no way the terrorists would be able to do so without getting notice with stringent checks. Especially if you said VIPs are there, your men would have swept the place a few times thoroughly including any weakness in the Expo centre or underground tunnels.”
“That is true and vice versa for anti chi barriers too.” Kong Rong was getting what Jin was talking about and it made sense.
“Even if it is a relic that enables anti chi and magic barriers, you need power to supply it and there is no other way to do so without a large ‘battery’. And from my birds, I do not see any excessive magic presence that enables it.” Jin reinforced his explanation.
“True, if there is, we would already have pinpointed the relic and start to search for it.” Kong Rong now looked at his map for a nearby place where his agents and police force had already checked, allowing Jin to secretly teleport to the area. “I pinged the location where you can teleport and I will meet you there.”
“You do not want to hear more of that theory?” Jin said as he instantly activated his portal to move when Kong Rong had situated.
“I have other stuff to deal with but if your theory holds water, then I suppose it also explains why people get burned attempting to come out while no one is able to go in. A selected dimensional instance where certain conditions are placed to not let its participants out. Also, no idiot terrorist would be that dumb to drop themselves to be as powerless as the hostages. All the more it proved that this is potentially a dimensional instance where the terrorists could have power advantage against the guards.” Kong Rong deduced and Jin was glad that he does have a Mr Know It All in his midst.
“But I cannot do this alone. I would need some help with from the inside.” Jin said as he had already teleported to a nearby car park and switched his conversation while awaiting Kong Rong or his men to fetch him. “I hoped you guys have overhear what we had being talking about, I purposely asked the System to let you guys eavesdropped the explanation portion.” Jin remarked while he waited for the Demon Exorcists to reply.
“What do you need?” Lein asked as he felt way too powerless in the current situation.
“I heard from you guys that the inscriptions are still working.” Jin queried and the current leader of the Demon Exorcist band acknowledged stating that they had used Agent Yu Xuan’s inscription to run around.
“The only problem is the duration. Agent Yu Xuan said that it should have lasted longer but Su Zhen assumed that there is the absence of chi to cause it to have a shortened duration.” Lein commented.
“Ahh, that could be true. With the absence of chi, the inscription could only work as much as the energy was supplied. Most inscriptions have some chi stored within it to not allow instant activation but also enough for a short duration of time. But that depends on the grade of the inscription. The higher the grade meant the material used- never mind. No use talking too much now. I want you all to go to the hall where they have their tech stuff.” Jin ordered while he saw the commotion from afar.
“Then what about the explosion?” Lian the Demon Fox Cultivator asked. “Shouldn’t that be a concern to us as well?”
“That is probably a diversion.” Rong understood a little now that Jin had somewhat explained the situation they were in. “There would definitely be someone there to cause a distraction and injure people so that the security forces would be diverted to that area to aid people and suppress the threat.”
“I concurred with Rong despite him being dim witted at times.” Lein said and told Agent Yu Xuan that they would be moving to the hall where they have the servers. “With no communication going through the dimensional instance, the security forces only clue is to move towards the explosion site.”
“Dimensional Instance?” Yu Xuan did not exactly understand how Lein got to the conclusion and only assumed that they were communicating with their boss but there was no time for questions at their end. So, he quickly pointed out where it was and they tried their best to reach there as soon as possible.
“Wow, if you think about it, the terrorists are cunning enough to use it in this Symposium. Trapping all the dungeon suppliers here and they have no way of getting the information out to the authorities.” Lian thought about it as they ran through the crowd.
“Well, good thing our boss had decided not to do so.” And so much for this Symposium to be free from attacks. Here I thought I could have a nice decent outing without anything to worry about.” Rong remarked.
“Don’t lie. Your face tells another story. You are practically elated that this is happening right now.” Lian could see Rong grinning side to side. “It’s as if you are waiting for this and thinking that Jin had brought us here for a reason.”
“Erm, not really. I am truly busy and working my ass off which is one of the reasons why I could attend it. With this distraction in sight, I would have another sleepless night ahead of me. The schedules…oh my schedules.” Jin complained upon hearing their situation and the Demon Exorcists quietly giggled.
Only an ignorant businessman of Jin’s calibre called this current predicament a distraction.
