LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 312 Boom!_2
They really don't treat the poor as human beings, do they?
While clearing out Paradise Bird, they even take the time to clean up the trash.
Epsilon sneered, withdrew his gaze, and disappeared into the night.
...
Huai'an Industrial University faculty dormitory building.
Xu Shuo did not appear at the site.
He was lying peacefully in bed resting, his psychic ability spreading out, following the mark to lock onto Epsilon's location, and seeing the outside scene through Epsilon's vision.
This operation did not involve core members of the New An Bureau—Yin Banqian and Cheng Can carrying out their own tasks don't count, neither does Wei Ya, and certainly not Xu Shuo.
Only a few regular members were helping out on the periphery, just going through the motions.
Epsilon wasn't part of the operation either, but the New An Bureau chief had instructed him to track Paradise Bird, which was why he continued to linger nearby.
Xu Shuo was waiting to pick someone up, and if he wanted to see what was happening there without showing up at the scene, he had to use this method.
As for entering the minds of his buddies, there would be a risk of being detected, but fortunately, Epsilon was nearby.
It just might have been a bit stimulating at the start.
Epsilon, who had a seniority comparable to Professor Li, appeared young and handsome, but in reality, he was also in his sixties or seventies.
He constantly moved through various chaotic environments, claiming to be fastidious, yet he enjoyed indulging in passion.
He was also one of the six psychics in the New An Bureau, possessing an intuition beyond the realm of reason!
Although the abilities of New Humans were already beyond reason, for Epsilon, as long as he wished, he could use his "intuition" to gain information about something.
He had been tracking information on Paradise Bird recently, so "intuition" guided him to investigate this place.
In some ways, his ability was similar to Aurora's "precognition," but the information obtained was not as clear and comprehensive as "precognition."
At the moment, Epsilon stayed away from the area of Carnival Paradise, hiding in a corner of a shelving building, frowning at the situation over there.
"I have a feeling they won't get anything out of this operation," he said.
"No worries, just stay here for now," came the response.
Epsilon nodded.
The chief's meaning seemed to be that there were other tasks for him to stay back for.
...
...
Deep underground, beneath the bar.
The spacious and bright space was filled with electronic machinery; it resembled a base or a large living and entertainment area, with gaming zones, a bar, a dance floor, and experimental equipment—all present in chaotic arrangement.
Those who lived here didn't need to do anything, free to blow up streets if bored, or indulge in the pleasures of life to their heart's content right here.
The only condition to join was to occasionally take on tasks with no major requirements or restrictions.
This was Paradise Bird!
And at this moment, the group wore solemn and strange expressions.

A man with gold-rimmed glasses ended a call and, adjusting his glasses, said, "The boss is still negotiating with those people, but things are a bit bad this time. It seems the officials are ready to exterminate us at all costs."
As his voice trailed off, someone couldn't restrain their temper and glared fiercely at a young man lounging in a gaming chair.
"It's all this guy's fault! Thinking he's so great because of his strong abilities, daring to even destroy Silverglow Tower!"
"He also killed Antonio!"
"Did the boss mention anything about this Little Ghost's arrangement?!"
Once someone started, the group erupted in anger, and the place became incredibly noisy.
If the officials were out to get Paradise Bird, it meant they would have to lay low for a good while, unable to show their faces, or else they'd definitely be spotted and pursued!
Compared to ordinary people, New Humans were far too few in number!
Even with their extraordinary powers, they were still extremely vulnerable in the face of the empire's vast machinery.
So when the boss suggested bombing Silverglow Tower, they only dared to knock down the decorative piece on top and half-heartedly explode a bit of the wall—that was it.
The officials might be furious, but at least they wouldn't go to the point of no return, and with New An Bureau's mediation, after some time, things would return to the usual state.
Paradise Bird never required its members to take on deadly, dangerous missions. Everyone even performed the Silverglow Tower bombing half-heartedly.
After all, they knew Silverglow Tower wasn't easy to demolish!
But no one expected that the Madman would actually use his power to disintegrate the building!
He was only twenty-three years old!
How did he do it?
No, that's not the point. The point is that this Madman has forced Paradise Bird and the officials into an extreme, do-or-die situation!
Realizing the severity of the situation, some people refrained from joining others in condemning the young man, instead eying the youth lounging in the gaming chair with a mix of fear and caution.
His clothes were somewhat tattered, possibly from being hit during the disintegration of the building, and since he hadn't changed them upon returning, he looked a bit disheveled.
But even in this state, the young man remained calm and relaxed.
Resting his head on the soft chair back, without moving an inch, he simply watched, emotionless, as someone started to scold him.
The next moment, out of nowhere, that person began to violently choke himself, a ghastly expression on his face from the lack of air.
Seeing this, the young man burst out laughing, clapping his hands with evident pleasure.
