American Celestial Master

Chapter 268, Launch

The order in which the bankers fled was also different. The first group to flee was of course the main financiers of the Donkey Party, a group of people who had close ties with School X. And it was okay to make public that they fled in advance, because they fled a month or two before the incident in Central Park, and at that time, the plan for the artificial restricted area had not yet been implemented. And they did not transfer all the funds at once, but slowly transferred them in batches to businesses that were less affected and even made a profit. Of course, they still left some funds in those stocks that were bound to plummet, and this part of the funds could prove that they were also victims.

The second group of people who ran away were the sponsors of the Elephant Party. They started to run away after the rumor of the homeless man encountering a ghost spread. They also ran away in secret, and even used some means to release some news to raise the price before running away. When they were almost done running away, a certain media investigation report came out, and then the Elephant Party members started to run away. Then the Donkey Party members started to run away. Some Donkey Party members started to run away from the stock market even later than the common people. Of course, they did not put their retirement funds in the stock market. Just like Lao Hu who traded in stocks, they could afford to lose money.

As for the Elephant Party members, they would run away at the first sign of trouble. They just happened to run a little faster than most ordinary people, which made them stand out.

Investigators sent by X School allegedly caught several ghosts in Central Park, and Central Park seemed to have become much calmer. However, people from X School said in an interview that they were not sure whether the problem had been completely solved.

"Regarding Central Park, I can only say that as far as we know, we already know some things, we know we already know some things, and we also know that there are some things we don't know. In other words, we know there are some things we don't know, but there are also some things we don't know that we don't know. These things we don't know, we don't know."

However, the guys at X School have always been cautious, so everyone regarded this statement as a manifestation of the traditional cautious attitude of X School. So the stock market recovered again, but just one night a week later, around 8 o'clock, X School suddenly issued a warning, claiming that their monitoring equipment in Central Park had detected large-scale energy disturbances. They had reason to suspect that some serious changes would occur near Central Park, so they reminded everyone who was still in Central Park and nearby areas to leave immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the city government took action, issued a warning, blocked the entire Central Park, prohibited entry to anyone without a special pass, and required residents of nearby blocks to evacuate.

After the warning was issued, various news media flocked to the park. Some of them ran to the park entrance, set up cameras and held microphones to interview the police responsible for blocking the entrance and passers-by passing by. Some took their cameras to the high-rise buildings nearby and took a panoramic bird's-eye view of Central Park. Some media even dispatched helicopters.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, in front of the big and small cameras, Central Park was suddenly covered by thick fog in a few seconds. The fog began to spread outward until it hit the protective line that the state government had previously commissioned X School to install. Between the fog and the protective line, you can clearly see the flash of lightning.

At the same time, the city government issued another emergency notice, claiming that because the Central Park defense line consumed too much power, it had to suspend power supply to certain blocks. Of course, the power outage was in Queens.

Near the defense line, Fidel, the principal of X School, accepted an interview with a CNN reporter. As we all know, CNN is a notorious fake news media. When the former president saw their reporters, he would directly shout "next". However, X School accepted their interview without worrying that they would distort the facts or quote out of context. This is because CNN is on the side of the Donkey Party, and secondly, it is because it is different from spreading rumors about politicians. Spreading rumors about organizations like X School can really kill people. Not to mention spreading rumors, even if they disclose some things that are not rumors but are unfavorable to them, the reporters who do this can easily suddenly become depressed and commit suicide. Therefore, all along, not only CNN, which is biased towards the Donkey Party, but even Fox, which is obviously biased towards the Elephant Party, has been very honest in interviews with X School.

"It is certain that this is a restricted area that is in the process of being formed," Fidel said. "This is also the first time we have witnessed the emergence of a restricted area. You asked how it will develop in the future and what countermeasures we can have now? Well, we have not collected enough data yet, so I cannot answer the previous question for the time being. As for our current countermeasures, the first is to temporarily use the existing magic circle to curb the expansion of the restricted area, buy time, and establish a good defense line; the second is to collect more data, analyze the characteristics of this restricted area, and cooperate with the state government to try to clear this restricted area."

"Principal Fidel, I know that your school recently cooperated with the state government and successfully cleared a restricted area. Do you think this restricted area can be cleared and how long will it take us to clear it?" the reporter asked cooperatively.

"First of all, I believe that not only this restricted area, but all restricted areas in New York State, and even all restricted areas in the United States, will eventually be cleared. America is America for Americans, not America for demons and monsters. This is the belief of all of us at X School." Fidel first sang a high note, and then said: "But as for this restricted area, how much time it will take, I can't make any judgment before there is enough research data. The only thing I can guarantee is that it will be cleared sooner or later. But I can tell you one thing, look at the edge of the fog, is there constant flashing of lightning? This is the manifestation of the expansion of the restricted area and the resistance of the defensive magic circle. If the fog disappears completely by dawn, I think we can clear it in at most half a month. If the fog is still there at that time, but it no longer expands, then I think we can solve the problem in about a month. But if you can still see these sparks during the day, then I dare not say how much time it will take."

In addition to the people from X School, Governor Casey also rushed to the scene as soon as possible - this is not common in the United States. Generally speaking, when a disaster occurs, senior officials rarely go to the scene when safety cannot be guaranteed 100%. So Ms. Casey rushed to the scene at this time, which made her look particularly brave - of course, the reason why she dared to come was because she knew very well that there was no danger at all.

Ms. Casey came, of course, to be interviewed, and when interviewing her, even the reporter from CNN became less honest, and as for the reporter from Fox, he was even more anxious to make a big news.
