Unlike the dramas previously filmed in the Film and Television City and Ancient Town, this new drama had a considerable amount of outdoor scenes.

Everything was shot on location, directly on the streets.

Fortunately, none of the actors in the crew were particularly famous celebrities, without too many rabid fans, so the street filming went relatively smoothly.

Occasionally, there were people who whipped out their phones from the sidewalk to take photos, but they were all stopped by the crew. Even the noisy sounds from the sidewalk were rare.

On the crowded streets and quiet neighborhoods, Song Jixing still managed to catch sight of some unusual occurrences with her keen senses.

Many pets had gone missing from homes, there were fewer stray cats on the streets, and even the birds in the trees seemed fewer, as if all the small animals had gone into hiding.

This, however, was not of particular concern to Song Jixing.

What she was concerned about was a recent viral video.

Supposedly, a self-media outlet had conducted statistics showing that Y City was where spiritual energy phenomena first appeared, with more occurrences than other places, including even a white dragon sighting in the neighboring Z City.

They had compiled news from across the country, creating statistics that highlighted Y City's peculiarities. Comparing it with officially released news, they concluded that Y City was the origin.

Since this self-media outlet had previously published many reliable and relevant news stories, tourists flocked to Y City, filling up hotels, and even visiting places where spiritual energy incidents had occurred, hoping to experience a touch of spiritual energy and try their luck.

Y City was indeed the origin of spiritual energy, but ordinary people had no way to access it.

After these events, it was hard for Song Jixing not to connect the dots, so while filming on the streets, she expanded the range of her spiritual perception to capture any anomalies.

Song Jixing relayed this information to her superiors, prompting them to investigate nearby stray dog shelters and pet adoption centers, where they did indeed find some unusual occurrences.

Many stray dogs, especially younger ones, had recently been adopted from the shelters.

All pets under one year old had been adopted from the pet adoption centers.

The internal information about the spiritual energy revival only increasing the chances of new generations having spiritual roots was seemingly leaked!

It now appeared that the leak had occurred.

More alarmingly, the authorities were completely unaware of the leaked information until Song Jixing's tip.

The higher-ups immediately convened an emergency meeting, preparing to investigate the individuals who had adopted the pets, as well as screening internal personnel to find the source of the leak.

Ever since the revival of spiritual energy, the relevant authorities had noticed that news agencies from countries known for their antics in human rights and freedom had shifted their focus.

Some had gone silent, keeping mum. Others started questioning their own countries' news, doubting the authenticity of the dragon and the spiritual energy revival. And still others demanded global sharing of research results and the white dragon, claiming it was an era of global economy.

Such matters were best taken with a grain of salt.

Considering the higher-ups were investigating at a sluggish pace, Song Jixing decided to pursue some less conventional methods.
