PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM II

Chapter 397: Bad Luck Be Gone

The entire Dongjing was in a frenzy once they discovered Xiao Luo's whereabouts.

The city was crawling with army and police vehicles. At the same time, police officers and soldiers were armed to the teeth, and their presence was highly visible. Dongjing citizens who were not up to date on the news had even thought they were at war.

But what drove Anpei up the walls was that the security forces had lost sight of him the moment he drove into the city. And all they found was a sports car abandoned by the side of the road. The Thousand-faced Killer could have transformed into anybody, so how could they possibly find him in this sea of people?

"Verify the identity of every single person on the main street. He can transform at any moment, but his identity is not something he can just change at the drop of a hat!" Anpei scowled over the radio.

"Yes, Sir!"

The police and the army personnel got into action and set up checkpoints to verify the identity of every person who passed through.

And yet, Xiao Luo was nowhere to be found, as if he had vanished.

At the same time that the security forces were looking for Xiao Luo, all the citizens of Ri Nation suddenly discovered that their bank account balances had gone up by 10 million. It was not just an individual, nor did it occur only in one city. Everybody in Ri Nation who had a bank account received a windfall!

Following that, a dozen intermediate-range ballistic missiles were launched from the Dongjing military base. They left an ominous trail of rocket fumes behind them as they homed in on Yasukuni Shrine. There was a series of deafening explosions, and Yasukuni Shrine was left in ruins, completely leveled.

After that, the 54 satellites belonging to Ri Nation suddenly disconnected, and then, like meteorites, they came screaming back toward Earth. Many people witnessed this and thought that they were shooting stars. They closed their eyes as they made their wishes. Instantly, Ri Nation's communication networks plunged into a state of paralysis.

All of this occurred in a single night!

And the cause behind all of this boiled down to a single hacker who had infiltrated Ri Nation's systems.

"Prime Minister, 10 million Ri dollars has been credited into every citizen's bank account. Unprecedented inflation is upon us, and our currency is worth nothing more than a piece of toilet paper!"

"Sir, Yasukuni Shrine has been attacked and all the kannushi guarding the shrine were killed in the massive explosions."

"54 satellites with a total cost of USD6 billion have burned up in the atmosphere as they crashed back to Earth. All of our communications systems are down, Sir."

"How could this be... How could this be!"

...

...

Xiao Luo had barely spent any effort when he hacked into Ri Nation's systems and created those devastating conditions for the country. He was in a barbecue stall in Dongjing Airport enjoying his food.

The stall owner was a buff man who wore a short-sleeved shirt that exposed his sturdy arms, and he was assisted by a mute and a deaf man. The three of them, silent like cicadas in winter, stared at Xiao Luo, who sat on a stool eating his barbecued meat. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down their foreheads, and they were shaking in fear and anxiety.

"I can't believe that you quit working for the yakuza and started up your stall here, Suzuki Ikuo. Not bad, this has potential. This is superb grilling technique."

"Bring me another bottle of soda," Xiao Luo said to the owner of the stall as he ate.

"Ah..."

The mute man responded quickly, opening the bottle as he placed it in front of Xiao Luo with the utmost respect.
