Chapter 215 The City's Great Earthquake, Bart Promoted to Supervisor

When Cao Kun quietly left the nightclub, there was no one left alive inside.

Corpses lay scattered on the ground, some piled on top of each other.

Cao Kun did not return to Juxie Land, but continued on to the next nightclub.

Otherwise, once word gets out about this nightclub, no one might go to nightclubs again for a while.

When Cao Kun returned to the Land of Gathering Evil, he already had more than 1,000 souls in his hands.

He believed that with these spirits, the camera's performance should meet his requirements.

More than 200 people died in Los Angeles overnight.

Overnight, thousands more died.

This immediately triggered a major earthquake.

The previous 200-plus people were alright, but almost all of those who died were gang members.

But among these thousands of people, some have quite a background.

Immediately, both the FIRI and the Los Angeles Police Department mobilized a large number of officers to investigate the matter.

However, since the FbI regional director just died, there is no one in charge here.

The process of confirming a new supervisor, which would have taken some time, has now been expedited.

Former Inspector Bart Hall was promoted two ranks, skipping the deputy supervisor position and becoming the acting regional supervisor of Los Angeles.

Whether the title of "agent" can be removed depends on the final investigation results of this case and whether they can satisfy the higher-ups.

Such a big case cannot be hidden at all.

In the past two days, major news platforms have been frantically following up with reports.

Reporters from various TV stations have been running around like crazy, trying to get firsthand information, but so far, nothing useful has been leaked.

As news reports spread, the case began to attract attention not only in Los Angeles but throughout the entire country.

Even after the news spread overseas, media outlets around the world began to repost and report on it, drawing global attention to Los Angeles.

Immediately, the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department were under immense pressure.

…………

At this time, Cao Kun was still in seclusion refining weapons, completely ignoring everything else.

He continuously refined one soul after another into that camera.

Quantitative change will inevitably lead to qualitative change.

It all depends on the exact quantity.

After Cao Kun refined more than 800 souls into the camera, he discovered that the camera could no longer absorb the power of the souls.

No matter how hard he tried, the camera refused to absorb anything.

Cao Kun knew that the camera was already saturated due to the limitations of its own materials.

Now, this is the moment when its power is at its peak.

Cao Kun held the camera in his hand, feeling the powerful, sinister energy emanating from it, and a smile appeared on his face.

Without even trying, he knew that this camera could also harm ghosts and monks.

The problem is that there were no test subjects available at the moment.

We can't just use Seiko Yamashita as a test subject.

Cao Kun was genuinely reluctant to part with it.

"In total, this camera has absorbed the soul power of more than 1,000 people."

"Such power is neither too strong nor too weak."

"It's not good against powerful ghosts and cultivators, but it should be fine against ordinary ones."

"It's a pity the material is a bit poor. If it could absorb more soul power, that would be great."

But Cao Kun also knew that this was not very realistic.

This camera is made of ordinary materials, which limits its capabilities.

This is after the rules were created, some changes occurred.

Otherwise, if it were its original material, the price would be at most two digits.

There were still a few hundred souls left, and Cao Kun didn't waste them; he threw them directly into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

He cannot absorb this power of the soul.

It would be too wasteful to eat it; it would be better to use it to increase the power of the Myriad Soul Banner.

The day Cao Kun emerged from seclusion happened to be a weekend, and the Holy Son of the Mountain did not go to the company.

Upon seeing Cao Kun emerge from the basement, the Holy Son of the Mountain immediately rushed forward: "Master, something terrible has happened."

Cao Kun didn't need to ask to know what important matter the Holy Son of the Mountain was talking about; he had already guessed how things would unfold before he even started doing it.

Cao Kun: "The news that more than a thousand people died has been released?"

The Holy Son of the Mountain also realized: "Master, did you kill those people?"

Cao Kun: "To forge a magical artifact, you need some souls."

Seiko Yamashita: "No wonder. I was going to show you the newspapers from the last few days. Looks like I don't need to."

"Indeed, besides you, Master, who else could kill so many people in one night?"

Cao Kun: "I can take a look and see what the situation is like outside."

Seiko Yamashita brought Cao Kun a few newspapers, and Cao Kun took out his mobile phone and turned it on.

In the past few days, to avoid being disturbed, he has stored his phone in the system space.

As a result, shortly after the phone was turned on, a call came in.

Cao Kun looked and saw it was Hunter Lee.

Cao Kun answered the call and heard the voice on the other end say, "Master, your call can finally go through."

Cao Kun: "What is it?"

Hunter Lee: "Master, are you aware of the recent news?"

Cao Kun: "You mean the matter of more than 1,000 people dying?"

Hunter Lee: "Yes, that's it. Our place was raided, a lot of people died, and now the families of those people are making a scene. It's giving me a huge headache."

Cao Kun was taken aback.

He never imagined that the murder would take place in his own nightclub.

He chose them randomly that night.

Cao Kun: "Let them make a fuss, you handle it yourself."

If a gang can't even handle the troublesome family members, it might as well disband.

Hunter Lee: "Master, I want to ask if you know who the murderer is? I'm afraid the murderer will continue to kill, and I'm worried about whether my establishments can continue operating?"

Cao Kun: "I know."

Hunter-Lee was surprised that Cao Kun actually knew, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it? Master, can you kill this murderer and avenge me and my dead brothers?"

Cao Kun looked at him strangely: "You want to kill me to vent your anger?"

Hunter Lee was stunned, his mind went blank.

He never expected that the murderer was Cao Kun.

"Master, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant, I deserve to die."

Cao Kun heard a crisp slap sound; it must have been Hunter Lee slapping himself.

Cao Kun: "You figure out how to handle this yourself. I'm hanging up."

After hanging up the phone, Hunter Lee realized that his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

Just now, he felt so scared that his heart stopped beating.

He knew that Cao Kun was ruthless and could kill people like chickens.

But its ferocity completely exceeded his expectations.

"As expected of the master." He could only sigh inwardly.

Cao Kun had just put down his phone when it rang again.

This time, it's Bart.

“Master, your call finally went through.” Bart said the same thing as Hunter Lee before.

At the same time, there was a feeling of great relief.

Cao Kun: "Speak if you have something to say."

Bart: "Master, I've been promoted to Los Angeles area manager."

"Um?"

Cao Kun was somewhat surprised this time: "You actually succeeded."
