"No! Calm down!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiang was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.

When did I act impulsively?

Lu Bai raised his hand and pressed it against the windowpane, saying softly, "Isn't this to conform to everyone's perception of me?"

Xu Qiang smiled wryly, unsure how to react.

It had been less than a day since he had accused Lu Bai, and thinking about his words of accusation made his face burn.

It's very simple logic.

If someone possessed such power and was truly an inhuman monster, humanity would have been wiped out countless times over.

He carefully considered his words and cautiously said, "I know you. If you're saying this, you must be warning me, right?"

"Who can say for sure?"

Lu Bai chuckled and hung up the phone, without continuing to write in the air.

In fact, Xu Qiang's conclusion was not wrong; he was indeed just issuing a warning.

For him, this level of achievement was sufficient.

Both official forces and the Parasitic Organism are wary of his existence and would not risk provoking him again.

It's just that we can't find him now; otherwise, we'd have to treat him with utmost respect to prevent him from doing anything extreme that could destroy all of humanity.

The streets were in chaos.

The darkness that had descended earlier made everyone feel an unimaginable power that could so easily control the rise and fall of the sun.

And those black characters hanging high in the sky are like a decree written by a god.

If the content were indulgences from certain religious beliefs, that would be one thing, as most people could understand some of it.

But the content of these black texts is utterly absurd, as if it were a joke made casually by a stranger you meet on the street.

Ultimately, immense and unpredictable power inspires awe, but if the user of that power is a madman, then awe turns into terror.

"I am guilty! I am guilty..."

Am I still dreaming?

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and find this Lu Bai!"

"What the hell are you looking for? Are you trying to kill everyone?"

Some people bowed to the words in the sky, some stood there stunned, and some took out their phones to post edited apologies on social media...

No one could remain calm.

The shock of the sun disappearing was so intense that no one dared to take Lu Bai's subsequent threatening words, even if they were meant to be playful, lightly.

But besides these, there were even more people running around in a panic, like headless flies.

The situation was visibly out of control, and even with a large number of police officers on the scene, they were powerless to revive it.

Even most of the police officers were shocked by this turn of events and were busy calling their families to check on their safety.

As for the arrest of Lu Bai?

Stop kidding me, you call this godlike being a criminal suspect?

The police leaders at the scene tacitly ignored the arrest and turned to directing their subordinates to maintain order.

Of course, there are people, or rather, creatures, who have even more headaches than the leaders on site.

At this moment, in the Mayor's Office of Jiangyu City, Mayor Shi stood by the window, briefly losing his ability to control his expression.

He was completely bewildered and had no idea how Lu Bai had managed to do such a thing.

From his perspective, it was just dealing with a human who unfortunately discovered his true identity; how could it cause such a commotion?

It seems to be heading towards mass ecological extinction—isn't that a bit too outrageous?

The office door was pushed open, and two middle-aged men who appeared to be leaders entered.

The mayor didn't turn his head, continuing to stare blankly out the window, "You all know?"

"What do we do now?" one of the middle-aged men asked.

What do you think?

Another middle-aged man suggested, "Since Lu Bai isn't human, I think we could try to win him over."

For Parasitic Organism, all actions are for survival; they have absolutely no need for considerations like saving face.

Moreover, they knew that Lu Bai had previously cooperated with his own kind, so there was a possibility of reaching an agreement.

The mayor's eyes immediately cleared. "Notify our counterparts in that area to find Lu Bai immediately and express goodwill to him. Regardless of whether he accepts our goodwill, try not to create any further resentment."

This is not admitting defeat, but rather the optimal solution under the current circumstances.

Parasitic Organism would never dare to provoke someone like Lu Bai, let alone wipe out the sun. They wouldn't even dare to try, even if it was just a possibility.

To be honest, Lu Bai really didn't have the ability to erase the sun.

However, he still possesses the ability to completely destroy the Earth's ecosystem, and he has more than one way to do so.

However, doing so is indeed too extreme, and he doesn't need to do it for the time being.

In any case, after such a warning, the Special Affairs Bureau, the police, and the Parasitic Organism would definitely not dare to take any further action against him.

As for the deathmatchers.

Unless the remaining fighters unite, it will be difficult for them to threaten Lu Bai.

To be precise, in order to gain more points, Lu Bai actually hoped they would come to him as soon as possible.

Squeak~

Lu Bai stepped out of the room, intending to take a stroll in the alley.

Little did he know that as soon as he stepped out the door, he bumped right into a group of criminal police officers.

The police's initial task was to capture Lu Bai, so naturally everyone had seen the target's photo.

The officers instinctively drew their pistols and aimed at Lu Bai, but none of them fired.

In the chaos, many officers even forgot to disengage their firearms' safety.

There was no way around it; in the eyes of the natives, Lu Bai's previous actions were almost godlike, or at the very least, aliens who possessed Zentradi technology.

Faced with such a being, let alone rashly firing a shot, one might even believe that even if one fired, it wouldn't be able to harm it and would only provoke it.

Realizing this, the detectives immediately removed the gun from Lu Bai's body.

Lu Bu remained silent, while the police officers felt caught in a dilemma: whether to leave or stay.

In the anxious wait, the head of the criminal investigation Captain had a fine layer of sweat on his forehead, and his palms were so sweaty that he could hardly hold his gun.

To avoid the somber atmosphere from continuing.

He shrank back, and asked awkwardly, "Um, Brother Bai... do you remember me? I was working under you at the hospital."

Lu Bai glanced at the criminal police Captain.

Hmm, I don't really remember.

He nodded, adopting a businesslike attitude. "Use your job title when you're at work."

"By the way, did you encounter any suspicious individuals on your journey?"

"No, no." Upon hearing the question, the criminal investigation Captain shook his head vigorously.

Lu Bai took the gun from the criminal police Captain and added, "Thank you for your hard work. Go on with your work."
