While eating, Bai Jing scanned the molecular composition of his food.
Meanwhile, a white Chevrolet was parked on the side of Interstate 284, motionless for half an hour.
Inside the car were a man and a woman, both in their forties.
They had just watched a video together and were now staring at each other.
"I suggest we hold off on approaching him!" the woman said. "This isn't someone we can approach. People like him should be handled by the FBI or the CIA. Why should we get involved!"
"But defecting Chinese people is indeed within our purview. Besides, think about it, if the Brotherhood, the Federal Strategic Assurance Bureau, and everyone else fails, and only we succeed, won't our funding next year increase significantly?" the man said.
"If they can't do it, what makes you think we can!" the woman retorted. "You're sending us to our deaths. If you want to go, you go. I'm not!"
"You don't understand. Didn't you notice he didn't attack his own people? That proves he's not without weakness, you just haven't found it yet. And among all the major organizations in America, only we have a vast number of Asian girls as resources!" the man said earnestly.
"Hmph, men!" the woman snorted. "Is he that important? Aren't you afraid he'll expose this, and then our organization's activities will be brought out into the open!"
"As long as America remains number one in the world, our cause will always succeed!" the white man said. "Which country can challenge us?"
The woman thought for a moment and shook her head. "None, I suppose?"
The white man nodded. It was 2008, and America was undoubtedly the world's number one.
He wasn't afraid of Bai Jing not cooperating. So what if he reported it? National strategy was beyond the power of one person to interfere with the overall situation.
"Then shall we go meet them?" the woman asked.
The white man hesitated.
He said it, but he was still a bit scared to go meet him directly.
After all, from the video, this person didn't even give the Brotherhood members a chance to speak.
No interrogation, no communication, just drew his gun and killed.
"I think it's better to leave it to the FBI. After all, our annual funding is already sufficient. What do you think?" the white man said after a moment of hesitation.
"You decide!" the woman rolled her eyes, her charm evident. "Where are we going later, your place or mine?"
"Yours, of course."
"Don't be silly, my husband is home!"
"Then that's perfect, we'll all go together."
"So they're really not coming? Is it traffic? Did they have a car accident on the way?" Bai Jing, having eaten his fill, was now trying to create protein molecules with a ball of air in his hand.
The girl also looked confused. Usually, when there was business, they came quickly. Why was it taking so long this time when she had finally encountered someone on the organization's bounty list?
"Why don't you contact them?" Bai Jing asked again.
"Okay." The girl took out her phone, dialed a number, and held it to her ear for a long time. She looked up at Bai Jing. "No one's answering!"
Bai Jing understood. They had abandoned this girl.
"What's your organization called?" Bai Jing asked.
"Uh, Burwin Hospital!" the girl said without much thought.
"It's a hospital?" Bai Jing asked in surprise.
"Not exactly, but most of us come into contact with them at this hospital!" the girl said. "When we came to America and expressed our desire to join, we were assigned to several major hospitals across the country for physical examinations. Burwin Hospital was one of them! As for what kind of organization they are, it's probably the immigration bureau?"
As if it were the immigration bureau!
Bai Jing waved his hand. "Since they're not coming, I'll take my leave!"
"Hey, you can't leave!" the girl immediately panicked. "What will happen to me if you leave!"
"What does that have to do with me?" Bai Jing didn't look back.
"If you leave like this, it will definitely affect my naturalization!" the girl quickly shouted. "For the sake of being fellow countrymen, can't you help me?"
Bai Jing suddenly thought of a line from the movie "Let the Bullets Fly."
Are good people always threatened with guns?
Do you think I don't want to kill you?
Bai Jing stopped, turned, and looked at the girl with his vacant eyes. "Speaking of which, I still don't even know your name!"
The girl blushed. "My name is Yun Shuang..."
"Miss Yun Shuang..." Bai Jing nodded, took out the Black Emperor from his embrace. "Next life, just be reborn as a white person!"
When he walked out, the sky was dark, and the north wind howled.
Snowflakes drifted down, and a heavy snow began to fall.
Bai Jing felt very gloomy. Since his transmigration, he had very few moments of happiness, and most of the time he was filled with anger.
"There are grand ambitions that can change the world!" The more difficult the situation, the more proactive one must be, not to mention that the difficulty now lies with the US government, not Bai Jing.
Unless they deployed cloudburst bombs or nuclear bombs for widespread bombing, they couldn't deal with a mere Bai Jing.
Bai Jing had to play to his strengths. If they sent few people, he would eliminate them. If they sent many, and they were strong, he would avoid direct confrontation!
It seems that after the Brotherhood incident, they finally recognized Bai Jing's strength.
Life might be a little calmer from now on.
"Seeking peace through struggle, peace will exist; seeking peace through compromise, peace will perish." Chairman Mao is truly amazing!
Bai Jing turned right and, instead of taking the road, plunged straight into New York Bay.
He hadn't actively used his black hole absorption function much before, because he thought even if he devoured the entire Earth, the black hole's growth wouldn't be significant.
But now his thinking had changed. I'm not on Chinese soil anymore, so why wouldn't I absorb it if I can?
Every little bit counts!
With a radius of 0.912 meters, its diameter was 1.824 meters. However, Bai Jing didn't absorb water through a flat opening, but rather a spherical one!
His contact area with the water was 2.6 square meters. The river's flow speed was slow, but under his gravitational pull, the water rushed in at a speed of 20 m/s. This meant he could absorb 52 cubic meters of water, or 52 tons, every second!
After 3 seconds, he noticed that his gravitational range had increased!
"Damn it, I'm such an idiot!" Bai Jing cursed himself.
He had only considered devouring the entire Earth and thought the black hole's size wouldn't increase much.
But an increase in size doesn't mean an increase in gravitational range!
As long as the black hole's mass increases, its gravitational range will expand. This should be basic knowledge, beginner-level black hole knowledge.
However, Bai Jing had probably confused the event horizon with the gravitational radius while reading, and hadn't realized it until now.
Normally, he only absorbed a bit of air or the cold wind blowing against him. The amount of matter absorbed was too small to show any noticeable change.
But in the river, 52 tons per second, and 156 tons in three seconds!
Such a massive amount instantly caused a change in his gravitational range!
