The sudden death of the Miracle Committee member caused a brief commotion in the square.
But that was all; people quickly refocused their attention, loudly shouting their wishes as if that was the top priority right now.
It must be noted that those brought to the square were ordinary citizens of Wanghai City, most of whom had never even seen a chicken being slaughtered.
A living person died so bizarrely in front of them, yet it seemed not to disturb their wish-making focus too much.
The wishing event in Yifu City is definitely more sinister than it appears.
It is understandable that Wanghai City citizens, immersed in their wishes, have no time to pay attention to the Miracle Committee member.
The staff members in the field lost their boss, yet they too showed an indifferent demeanor.
They naturally approached Wu Chang, offering him a new golden mask before continuing with their tasks.
The only two normal people around Wu Chang were He Wei and Sword Star.
He Wei looked at the Miracle Committee member's remains, his face turning somewhat pale, but his deep experience prevented him from vomiting. He only slightly turned his face away, occasionally sneaking a glance.
"Boss, what did you do to him?"
Wu Chang replied discontentedly, "I did the same as you guys, just made a wish, that's all. Who knows what his situation was."
"What kind of wish did you make to turn him into this?"
Wu Chang shrugged his shoulders, "I just wished to get along with someone. It seems, the other party did not agree."
After brushing off He Wei, Wu Chang shared the minor miracle effects he received with Shi Ning and Sword Star and others.
"Status: Blessing of the Minor Miracle."
"Status Effect: Your next wish is guaranteed to be fulfilled and will resonate with the Grand Miracle, allowing you to personally witness its power."
"Note: The wishes you can fulfill must not exceed the difficulty level of a B-Level instance in the Desolate Realm. The Grand Miracle reserves the final interpretation rights of the actual wish-fulfillment effect."
There is a crucial point in the blessing of the Minor Miracle.
That is, the Grand Miracle cannot be met at will, and one must first obtain the blessing of the Minor Miracle.
This means, in order to complete the strategy concerning the Grand Miracle, one must first wish for an almost impossible wish to gain the Miracle Committee's approval, or directly eliminate a Miracle Committee member to seize their Minor Miracle.
However, it is uncertain whether the Minor Miracle will always drop or requires a special kill to obtain.
If handled poorly, it's easy to completely oppose the Miracle Committee.
Moreover, Miracle Committee members usually do not act alone, and assassination requirements are quite strict. If discovered, one might be killed by the wish.
After contemplating for a moment, Shi Ning decided to let Wu Chang and Sword Star proceed according to the plan, first infiltrating the Miracle Committee headquarters to explore opportunities.
If the infiltration fails, they will then find a way to assassinate other Miracle Committee members.
While confirming the action plan, joyful music, reminiscent of a school bell, came from the square.
"Citizens, today's grand wishing event is now over, please return tomorrow."
Upon hearing the announcement, the staff in the square began guiding citizens to return the way they came.
Contrary to their arrival, upon learning they could leave, people showed no joy of surviving a calamity, and they all wanted to stay and try a bit longer.
In less than two hours, those brought to the square had already spontaneously integrated into Yifu City.
The citizens were put on the same buses that brought them, and the remaining staff came up to Wu Chang, with one asking for instructions.
"Today's grand wishing event is completed, Mr. Committee Member, shall we return to headquarters immediately?"
Wu Chang put on the Golden Mask and said, "Let's go."
Some staff members drove a separate sedan, preparing to take He Wei and Sword Star together back.
Wu Chang pointed at He Wei and said, "Forget about him; his desire is too depraved, and the Grand Miracle doesn't like it. Let him go home and reflect. When he thinks of a positive and energetic wish, he can be brought back to headquarters."
He Wei: "?"
No, boss, what do you mean, why are you turning your back on me like this?
Just as He Wei wanted to argue, Sword Star seized the opportunity, delivering a chop to He Wei's neck, physically silencing him.
Seeing He Wei have no objections, the staff followed the Miracle Committee member's instructions and tossed He Wei onto a bus, sending him out of the square.
Wu Chang and Sword Star, however, got into the black sedan, heading towards the Miracle Committee headquarters.
The car drove through the tunnel, arriving at an independent district.
The independent district, unlike the erosion area outside, retained the purity of Yifu City, not overlapping with the original structures of Wanghai City.
The city functions here are still in normal operation, and many original residents of Yifu City can be seen, hurrying about the city, busy with their work.
At first glance, they look no different from the ordinary people of Wanghai City.
The only difference is that when their eyes land on the champagne-colored building in the city center, they pause for a moment, murmuring something softly.
That building is the Miracle Committee headquarters, the place where the Grand Miracle was first discovered.
The car stopped in front of the building, where waiting employees approached, opened the car door for the two, and led them into the first-floor lobby.
They seemed to recognize the mask but not the person; no one noticed the person behind the golden mask had changed, naturally assuming Wu Chang was the Miracle Committee member.
Two receptionists stood at the front desk of the building, their attitudes very serious, always smiling at the passing staff, and registering the non-staff members entering and leaving the building.
Yet as they passed the reception desk, Wu Chang glanced at the receptionists' desks, discovering that their computer screens were stuck on the initial screen, and the paper guestbook was blank.
Boldly slacking off.
As a special talent, Sword Star was going to the special wishing hall to reconnect with the Grand Miracle for another wish.
The special wishing hall is on the second basement level, where another Miracle Committee member was standing.
The other party had a stooped figure, graying hair, held a civilized cane, and also wore a golden mask.
Seeing Wu Chang following Sword Star in, the old man's face on the mask showed a displeased expression.
"It's my turn today, you can't steal from me!"
Wu Chang shrugged, willingly distancing himself from Sword Star, "I'm just here to watch, not to compete."
The old man nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Sword Star, "Come, young man, I will establish a connection for you with the Grand Miracle, now repeat your wish."
Sword Star recited his wish silently in his heart.
Feeling Sword Star wishing, the old man, like a conductor, swung the civilized cane passionately.
Every swing scattered colorful specks of light, falling on Sword Star, causing his brows to furrow in pain.
He held his head, groaning painfully, slowly kneeling to the ground.
He felt his inspiration burning, the flame of inspiration scorching his brain, burning his consciousness and spirit.
Colorful smoke rose from the top of his head, within which condensed a flying sword, heavy and unadorned, but exuding a mountain-like aura.
Even though Wu Chang was somewhat prepared, seeing the scene before his eyes, he couldn't help but feel astonished.
The Grand Miracle in this instance had some means; it could truly rely on Sword Star's cognition and wish to condense a replica of Abyss Suppression.
Though this replica was far inferior to the original, as a flying sword, its aura already surpassed the flying sword Sword Star currently used.
Watching Abyss Suppression condense, greed filled the old man's eyes; he threw away the civilized cane, his stooped body swelling, exploding his clothes, revealing a muscular build.
Exceeding the human limit in strength, he transformed into a predator-like monster, pacing excitedly around Sword Star on all fours.
Waiting for the mist above Sword Star's head to stop and for him to cease making any sound, the old man's golden mask split horizontally, revealing a fang-filled mouth.
The old man spoke in an ecstatic tone:
"What a wonderful aroma of dreams, no matter how many times I smell it, it intoxicates me. Nothing is more suitable for an afternoon tea after a nap than a powerful wish and a cooked brain."
The old man pounced on Sword Star suddenly, "Be grateful, young man, you shall merge with me, sharing the miracle!"
