I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 287. The truth cannot be hidden
Chapter 287: 287. The truth cannot be hidden
To save someone, Lu Li frequently searched for information related to North Myanmar and, sure enough, big data promptly pushed forward some video evidence.
He casually clicked on one and it happened to be the "Iron Blood Brother Chen" video he had directed himself.
In just a few hours, the view count had already surpassed 10 million, with over a hundred thousand comments.
He checked them out and saw that most netizens were schadenfreuding.
That was normal; since that side was already equated with "being screwed," naturally, no one was hoping for their well-being.
But the hottest discussions were still centered around Han Chen—
"Why can he hold a large-caliber machine gun and fire away? Is he even human!"
"No... Why did he do that? A celebrity going to North Myanmar to fight and kill?"
The situation was too fantastical, and online chaos ensued.
But there were quite a few netizens who posted videos of foreigners wielding the same type of machine gun.
Using the explanation "lower center of gravity for more stability," they barely addressed the first question.
As for the second one, someone dug up the promotional videos Han Chen made for North Myanmar.
And then they unearthed his investments in several nightclubs and casinos in the region.
Suddenly, there was a chorus of curses, and they concocted their own "truth"—
"Definitely because the spoils weren’t split evenly, it’s a case of infighting."
"Han Chen has an underworld background, but who knew he was so ruthless, he killed so many people."
"Breaking news, Iron Blood Brother Chen found dead, naked in the street!"
Most people were just looking for some fun, and soon new videos diverted their attention.
Lu Li couldn’t help but marvel at the speed of news spreading online.
Swiping casually a few more times, he came across videos of puppet combat.
A big man in a suit and bowler hat, his face covered with a hood and sunglasses, leaping across rooftops, throwing cars...
All kinds of unbelievable combat techniques, yet they didn’t attract much attention.
On the battlefield, with bullets flying and smoke billowing, the shaky and blurry videos were easily dismissed.
But as people tend to believe only what they want to believe, these dizzying images were swiftly flicked away.
However, Lu Li watched them in silence to the end.
He was well aware that "Iron Blood Han Chen" only served to muddle the waters.
Things were too suspicious, and the truth couldn’t be concealed from the very top echelon.
At this moment, many who had fled back from North Myanmar were already handcuffed and detained.
They were suspected of fraud, border crossing, and other crimes, and of course, had to pay the corresponding price, but at least they felt more at ease.
Yet immediately following, staff members asked them to write down everything they saw in the special region’s capital.
Not a single detail could be omitted.
Many among them had witnessed the puppet battles with their own eyes, and combined with the videos on the internet, although some dared not be completely certain, attention was already drawn.
And anything related to Xia Country was always a priority for the Star Alliance Country’s intelligence department.
A neighboring country at war, a city annihilated; along with the sudden surge of hot topics on the internet, everything was reported at the first instance.
Once the images of the puppets appeared, the analysts immediately pulled up Lu Li’s information.
Protecting Lady Maria and killing field agents; assassinating the head of a military company, the chief of an intelligence station; recently missing operatives...
Everything was linked to Lu Li.
His file was getting thicker and the security classification higher, soon to be laid before the real power players.
But for now, it was the calm before the storm.
As the plane entered Moxico’s airspace, Lu Li received a text of gratitude from Qian Ping:
"He Jing and her family have been reunited, she will thank you in person shortly."
"As long as they are safe, that’s good."
Lu Li replied with a simple message, then began considering how to create new puppets and use the Spirit Mechanism.
And Qian Ping, far across the ocean, couldn’t calm down for a long time... To rescue a person, was it necessary to obliterate an entire city?
He had thought it would be at most like an action movie with a gunfight or something.
But seeing the news with the city turned into ruins, nearly 100,000 people injured or killed... the academics in the ivory tower were shocked.
It was he who had initiated the request; Qian Ping wanted to offer a few more words of polite conversation but somehow couldn’t coax his fingers to type them out.
In the hometown chat group, Wei Wenqi and others were also shockingly astounded.
The person had left just before, and the city was gone right after; it was clear to anyone with eyes that they were related.
The chat group was unusually silent until Wei Wenqi said:
"Lu Li must have started one of those military companies that can fight wars."
Promptly someone chimed in: "Isn’t that illegal?"
"Why do you care? He’s a foreigner, the president’s son-in-law."
"Speaking of which, how come the daughter of Moxico’s president is a Caucasian?"
"Colonized for hundreds of years, the pure natives are long gone. We’re lucky because of the Yihe Fist; otherwise we would all have had to look like foreigners."
The group chat resumed its lively banter, while Lu Li also hung up the phone call of thanks from He Jing’s father.
He Jing was now out of danger, though she still needed rest and recovery.
Thus, a journey came to a perfect close, and the airplane landed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the manor, Jessica and Teresa each embraced Lu Li before kissing him on the cheeks.
Both girls thought Lu Li must be tired, so they didn’t say much before leaving together.
Lu Li took the opportunity to focus on assimilating what he had acquired this time.
He went to the storeroom, where, along with the newly purchased ones, there were still 40 Terminators yet to be activated.
Lu Li thought about it and only activated 10, but he bestowed 1,000 Divine Souls on each!
Once activated, these Puppets, although equal in strength, were clearly more agile and nimble.
Not wanting to show favoritism, Lu Li called over Number 6, assigned to guard Jessica, and equipped the veteran legion with up to a thousand Divine Souls each!
This used up a total of 14,000 Divine Souls.
He allocated the remaining 6,000, giving 2,000 each to the main powerhouses, Ah Da and Number 0.
In just a short while, there were only 2,000 Divine Souls left in the Kunlun Mirror, saved for emergency use.
The consumption was massive, but absolutely worth it!
He randomly selected an ordinary Puppet and ordered it to pick up a heavy machine gun and get ready.
Then, Lu Li threw a rock into the air.
The rock’s velocity neared 200 meters per second, similar to a crossbow, and the Puppet raised its arm and shot it out of the sky with two shots!
"Not bad, much more responsive. From now on, you’re the new Number 7."
Lu Li pointed casually: "You’re 8, 9, and the rest should line up in order behind."
At that moment, 20 Puppets lined up neatly in order, the pupils in their eyes lighting up with a faint blue glow, waiting for their master’s commands.
Lu Li was very pleased; once the custom-ordered autocannons arrived, these loyal guards would possess terrifying firepower, even capable of killing Innate Martial Artists!
Next, he needed to replenish the Spirit Mechanism.
As if sensing their master’s thoughts, six Flying Swords instantly circled around him, all buzzing eagerly.
It was no wonder they were so anxious; the likes of Magic Treasures and Magic Artifacts absorbed Spirit Mechanism exceptionally fast.
A single unit of Spirit Mechanism, and a Flying Sword could consume it entirely in one day; these days, they were famished.
For Lu Li, it took a full week to completely refine it. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
His body was still not worthy of such Divine Items, so the absorption was very slow.
But his Divine Soul was now qualified.
With a thought from Lu Li, his palm was enveloped by his Spirit.
And the previously untouchable Spirit Mechanism was grasped in his hand, transformed into a handful of bright, clear spring water!
