Thunder Talisman, Military Armament

When the Patrol Team's armed forces arrived, Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Yue Jincheng all stopped what they were doing, and even raised their hands to show that they had no intention of continuing to fight.

Around the three of them, streaks of sword light were moving back and forth.

The sword light resembled streaks of lightning rapidly surging through the air, and the chilling Sword Intent it emitted caused a stinging sensation on Zhang Yu's hands and face.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is it Military Grade Flying Sword?"

He knew that this Military Grade Flying Sword- Civilian Grade Flying Sword, which could only be used by armed Patrol Team members, was different from the civilian-grade flying swords he had seen before. It could transform Sword Qi into rainbows, forming sword light that could be large or small and could be extended or retracted at will.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Once that Military Grade Flying Sword in front of us activates, it'll probably cut the three of us down like chopping vegetables."

At the same time, four people dressed in Patrol Team combat uniforms were already standing above Zhang Yu and his two companions.

Zhang Yu glanced at them briefly and could feel waves of Qi and Blood surging over them, as if four giant furnaces were floating above their heads.

"It should be Military Grade combat Cultivation Method."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Military Grade Flying Sword, coupled with Military Grade combat Cultivation Method, would probably crumble even for Qi Refining Peak like Lei Jun and Wang Hai, who graduated from university decades ago. They would be dead in a single exchange."

Zhang Yu knew that this was merely the Patrol Department, one of the eight major divine departments under the Heavenly Court, and its armed forces located in the suburbs of Songyang City on the Kunxu First Layer.

He thought to himself, "It's precisely because the Ten Great Sects strictly control Military Grade and higher Cultivation Method, Dharma Skeleton, and Law Treasure... that so many high school students, college students, office workers, and even wealthy people can abide by the rules established by the Ten Great Sects."

"Force, in the end, is one of the most fundamental foundations behind all social rules."

Meanwhile, Yue Jincheng on the other side remained obedient, not daring to make any move.

Upon becoming a security guard for the company, Yue Jincheng's first lesson during his onboarding training was to avoid engaging in armed conflict with any government or clergy organization.

In particular, the armed personnel and various Military Grade forces among them are far beyond the capabilities of these company employees to contend with.

If you are injured or even die in the process, you will not receive any compensation, and the company will not provide any form of assistance.

Therefore, Yue Jincheng was extremely cautious at this moment, not daring to do anything that might cause misunderstanding.

He had heard many stories of people being suspected of retaliating by simply waving or reaching into their pockets, only to be stabbed to death on the spot with flying swords.

The next moment, Zhang Yu and his two companions felt a silver glint flash in the eyes of one of the armed men as he swept over them.

Then the man looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Was it you who used the Thunder Talisman?"

Zhang Yu quickly pointed at Yue Jincheng and said, "He stole from me..."

The man waved his hand. "That's not what I'm asking you. We can talk about the case later. I just want you to settle the Call Fee first."

"Ah?"

What's the meaning?

Do I have to settle the bill before the police can enforce the law?

Even though he had lived in Kunxu for a year, Zhang Yu was still shocked.

The man, named Gong Zhe, scoffed and said, "What 'huh'? If you can't even afford the Call Fee, we'll turn around and leave right now. You can call the police again yourself and wait."

Since the incident where the complainant had insufficient funds and owed Thunder Talisman his Premium Grade enforcement service fee after the Patrol Team's enforcement action, the Inspection Team has always required payment before enforcing the law whenever Thunder Talisman calls on them to conduct an operation.

Hearing this, Yue Jincheng looked at Zhang Yu with hope, secretly praying that the other party couldn't afford to pay.

Yue Jincheng thought to himself, "Zhang Yu is a penniless wretch; what if he really can't afford to pay?"

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Yu took out his phone and said, "I'll pay."

The minimum charge for each use of Thunder Talisman is 10,000 yuan in Call Fee. Zhang Yu was naturally prepared for this and obediently took out his phone to pay the bill.

Seeing the 10,000 yuan Call Fee credited to his account, Gong Zhe nodded in satisfaction, his gaze towards Zhang Yu immediately filled with goodwill.

Whether it was Zhang Yu's imagination or not, he felt that after he paid, the four armed Patrol Team in the sky seemed more energetic and imposing.

Gong Zhe straightened his chest and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, "Hello, esteemed Thunder Talisman Premium Grade customer, this is Gong Zhe, a member of the Patrol Team of the Seventh District of Songyang City, greeting you."

"Please describe the specific details of the case."

At this moment Gong Zhe and the other three team members looked at Zhang Yu with anticipation and excitement, thinking to themselves, "Kidnapping! Murder! Business dispute? It would be best if it were a Tax Evasion and Underreporting case!"

"Hey guys, how long has it been since you've had a sale?"

"You'd better be dealing with a major case involving tens of millions or more."

It's no wonder that Gong Zhe and his three companions were starving and ravenous; as armed personnel in the Patrol Team, their income had been decreasing year by year.

Gong Zhe often sighed inwardly, "Sigh, the security is getting better and better, and everyone prefers to use underhanded tricks rather than draw their knives. How are we combat personnel supposed to generate results? We work eight hours a day and leave on time, but we can't even work overtime if we want to. We can only do logistics for other departments and write reports to earn some extra money, just to barely make ends meet..."

At this moment, Gong Zhe and the other three looked at Zhang Yu, hoping that he would give them a big surprise.

Zhang Yu pointed at Yue Jincheng and said, "He tried to steal my phone. When I discovered it, he tried to run away. My classmate and I tried to stop him, but he beat us up instead."

After a moment of silence, Gong Zhe asked again, "That's it?"

For such a trivial matter, you really need to use a Thunder Talisman to summon everyone?

In that instant, the four of them, who had just been full of high spirits, immediately deflated. Gong Zhe Gong Zhe said calmly, "Let's pay the bill first."

Looking at the bill for 8,000 yuan, Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Why is it 8,000 yuan? You only flew here once, didn't you even fight?"

Gong Zhe glanced at him and said indifferently, "This is Protected Area. Do you think we don't need tickets, breathing fees, or Breath Circulation fees to come in?"

"Later, I'll take you back to handle the case, collect statements, investigate evidence... Doesn't all of this require working hours and is a lot of work?"

Helpless, Zhang Yu paid five thousand yuan and then said to Bai Zhenzhen beside him, "A-Zhen, I'm out of money. Can you pay another three thousand yuan for me?"

Seeing this, Gong Zhe and his companions grew increasingly disappointed. "Damn it, they're so poor, why are they even using Thunder Talisman? Couldn't they just call the police?"

After receiving the money, Gong Zhe said, "Alright, all three of you, come with us."

A moment later, Zhang Yu and the others arrived at a Patrol Bureau in the far suburbs of Songyang City.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, who were the complainants, were taken to an office in the investigation area.

Gong Zhe said calmly, "You wait here. Someone will come to find you later to ask about the situation."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Zhang Yu said, "By the way, that person had an accomplice who escaped before you arrived. Maybe you can check the nearby surveillance footage and ticket purchase records..."

Gong Zhe frowned and interrupted, "Alright, we have our own methods for handling cases; we don't need you to teach us."

Gong Zhe had absolutely no interest in such a trivial case as snatching a phone; he'd rather use that time to do a part-time job and earn more money.

After Gong Zhe left, Bai Zhenzhen glanced at the office camera but didn't say anything to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu then turned on his phone and informed the Wandering God Deng Bingding, about what had happened.

Of course, unlike the simple story of stealing a phone that Zhang Yu told Gong Zhe and the others, Zhang Yu added his own speculations to his account to Deng Bingding.

For example, he suspects that the other party has been following him and secretly filming him practicing martial arts, perhaps investigating his participation in the Foundation Establishment Exam.

After all, Zhang Yu couldn't possibly share information about the Foundation Establishment Exam with the Patrol Team.

In response to Zhang Yu's message, Deng Bingding simply gave three thumbs up.

Zhang Yu wondered, "What does that mean? Is she going to help or not?"

Fu Ji chuckled and said to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, "Based on my understanding of Orthodox God, three thumbs-ups are a pretty high compliment. The next level higher would be three firecrackers."

"These are all coded words used by the Orthodox God. You'll understand them naturally as you see more of them in the future."

Then Zhang Yu sent another message to Yun Ni, recounting how his phone was stolen and how he was taken to the Patrol Bureau.

Yun Ni replied: Which Patrol Bureau?

Yun Ni: I'll find someone you know for you.

Yun Ni: By the way, did you get your injuries checked?

Yun Ni: If we're going to mediate, what's your target price?

As Zhang Yu read the lines of text Yun Ni sent, he realized that Yun Ni was treating this case as a regular theft or fight, and was teaching him how to make the other party pay more money.

About ten minutes later, while Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were waiting and cultivating, Gong Zhe returned to the office.

However, Gong Zhe had a slight smile on his face at this moment, "If your Captain Yun hadn't contacted me, I wouldn't have known that you two were also from the Patrol Team. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I'm quite familiar with your Captain Yun Ni; we even had dinner together last month."

After being greeted by Yun Ni, Gong Zhe's gaze towards Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen seemed to carry a hint of gentleness, as if he were looking at his own people.

He said, "Don't worry, you two are completely the victims in this matter."

"I'll have someone come over in a bit to take your statements, then you can leave."

"As for that guy, he's incredibly audacious. He dared to attack Divine Assistant in broad daylight. He'll pay for this with his life."

After saying that, Gong Zhe left again.

His performance surprised Zhang Yu, who thought to himself, "It seems Yun Ni has quite a bit of influence in Songyang City."

But Gong Zhe didn't return for more than half an hour after he left.

Zhang Yu grew impatient and wanted to go out to find out what was going on, only to discover that the office door was locked at some point.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhenzhen on the other side said, "Yu Zi! Look!"

Following the direction Bai Zhenzhen pointed, Zhang Yu could see through the office window that Yue Jincheng, accompanied by several Patrol Team, was swaggering out of the investigation area.

Bai Zhenzhen asked in surprise, "He's going to be released like this?"

Seemingly noticing Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu looking over from behind the window, Yue Jincheng smiled slightly at them before turning and leaving.
