American Celestial Master

Chapter 269, action

Although the questions from various media were very tricky, Ms. Casey had seen them many times. Facing these young reporters who were eager to make a big news, Ms. Casey used Tai Chi to deal with all these questions, while despising them in her heart: You are still too young, and this is all you have? Matthew Lee is much better than you, and I can talk and laugh with him. You still need to strengthen your professional learning.

In short, in response to reporters' questions, Ms. Casey seemed to say a lot, but if you summarize it carefully, you will find that she seemed to say nothing.

The noisy and busy night finally passed. After the sun rose, the fog covering Central Park still did not dissipate, and electric sparks could still be seen on the edge of the fog. According to Fidel's previous statement, this was not a good sign.

Perhaps the dawn made some people a little bolder, and some reporters began to ignore the security guards' dissuasion and approach the thick fog in order to take one or two good photos that could be reported on the news. When a reporter approached the thick fog area, he suddenly dropped his camera and rushed directly into the fog.

Fortunately, among the security personnel nearby there was a superhero with skills similar to Spider-Man. He reacted quickly and immediately sprayed out a spider silk, which stuck to the guy and pulled him back.

Several ordinary policemen rushed over and pinned him to the ground. One of them skillfully pressed his knee on his neck. Another one twisted his hands behind his back so that he could be handcuffed. But the reporter struggled so hard that the two policemen could hardly hold him down.

Another policeman ran over with his gun drawn, pointed it at the reporter, and shouted at him to stop resisting. Of course, the other reporters nearby would not miss this big news, and they quickly gathered around, with the sound of shutter clicks filling the air.

As the shutter clicked, a reporter shouted, "Look at his eyes!"

When everyone took a closer look, they discovered that there was only white in the eyes of the reporter who was pinned to the ground. Not to mention the pupils, even the black pupils were gone!
The reporter was still struggling and making sounds like a wild beast. He didn't look like he couldn't breathe at all.

"He's been harmed by the energy in the restricted area. Disperse immediately and stay away from the fog. It's very dangerous." The superhero who had just pulled the reporter back with spider silk came over and asked everyone to disperse quickly to avoid danger. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and said respectfully to the phone: "Teacher, are you nearby? There are some new situations here. Maybe you should come and take a look."

"I'll be right there." The teacher's voice came from the phone. About a minute later, a huge and beautiful harpy eagle flew over. The harpy eagle landed on the ground and suddenly turned into a beautiful girl in front of everyone.

This kind of scene would have definitely caused a lot of exclamations many years ago. But in New York today, this scene has been seen many times, and almost everyone recognizes that this is the teacher of X School, the most popular superhero selected by the whole of New York, the master of shapeshifting, Miss Dulcilea. By the way, because of her important cameo roles in some movies, Dulcilea has many fans throughout the United States.

"Let me see, ah, this is a spell. Well, Peter, luckily you acted quickly, if you were a little slower, this guy would be a madman forever and could not be saved. I'm taking him to school now, you keep these idiots away from the cordon, and don't be too gentle when necessary, you are saving them, understand?" Dulcilea looked at the reporter who was still roaring incomprehensible, stretched out her finger and pointed at him, and the reporter immediately fell asleep. "I'll take this guy to school, he should be able to be saved, but most likely his intelligence will still be damaged to a certain extent." After Dulcilea said this, she suddenly turned into the huge horned eagle again, stretched out her claws and grabbed the sleeping reporter, let out a long cry, spread her wings, soared into the air, and flew away.

Peter looked up from below and watched Dulcilea fly away, but heard someone next to him say, "Are you jealous? Teacher Dulcilea's Transfiguration is so cool!"

Peter turned around and looked at his classmate Bobby who walked next to him, and sighed, "Who wouldn't envy and want to fly in the sky? It's a pity that we can't learn it. But there is still good news."

"What's the good news?" Bobby asked.

"Of course, among the new batch of students, there is still no one who has learned the Transfiguration Technique to fly," said Peter.

The changes during the day naturally caused even greater panic, and in the afternoon, the New York Stock Exchange was temporarily closed. Of course, the reason for the closure was not because the prices of various securities fell too much, at least not on the surface. The surface reason was that the trading market was too close to the restricted area of ​​Central Park and was not safe enough.

Of course, the New York Stock Exchange cannot be closed for a long time. The exchange said that they will reopen as soon as they find a suitable location. This time difference can also allow the panicked people to regain some rationality.

The state government also acted quickly. By noon that day, the New York State National Guard began to enter the neighborhoods near Central Park. The state government declared martial law within 400 meters of Central Park. All personnel within this range were evacuated before sunset that day, but the resettlement work was slightly delayed. However, by American standards, the New York State government's response was already very good.

Additionally, that night, there was no electricity in Queens.

On the third morning of the restricted area, the National Guard began to take action under the camera of TV reporters. They first sent drones and various unmanned robots into the restricted area. They also released at least a thousand monitoring devices in the restricted area. These detection devices are connected to the outside world with optical fibers wrapped in gold foil, which can ensure data transmission needs in most cases.

Because the possibility of someone getting into the restricted area was very small, some of the footage captured by the monitoring equipment was also made public. As a result, not only in New York, but throughout the United States, people stayed up all night watching what the monitoring equipment captured. It is said that the ratings of these contents even set the highest record in American history.
