The Effects Were Spectacular

Inside the park.

Lu Bai looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, maintaining a basic level of vigilance.

He could roughly sense the strangeness in the other party, but he didn't yet know what tricks this guy had up his sleeve.

Out of caution, and with [Flash Time] as a safety net, he didn't rush into action.

The white-haired old man standing in front of him did not open his bloody mouth or turn into any ferocious shape as he had imagined.

He simply waved the small flag in his hand from side to side at a leisurely pace.

As he waved, he said with a smile, "Since you're already here, why resist? Let's go, let's go."

He turned his back and started walking.

"Follow the tour guide, you'll have everything you need for food and drinks, they'll answer any questions you may have, and it's not tiring to walk around..."

As Lu Bai watched the old man's retreating figure, he was suddenly struck by a dramatic change in the road ahead.

It was originally just an ordinary little park located in the city, but as the old tour guide started walking, the forks in the road on both sides disappeared out of thin air, and in their place came a lush, dark forest, so dense that it was difficult for people to even squeeze in.

Lu Bai subconsciously glanced back, and sure enough, the path he had come from had disappeared, replaced by a deep, eerie forest.

In other words, if someone were just an ordinary person, in this situation, they would either stay where they were and wait to die, or they would have no choice but to follow the path the old man was on.

Realizing this, Lu Bai remained silent for two seconds before decisively chasing after the white-haired old man.

"Sir, you are in excellent health! You have white hair but a youthful face, and you walk with great agility. I never expected your breathing exercises to be so calm and composed."

Just as he was about to reach the old man, he roared in a deep voice, "You audacious fiend, how dare you show off your limited skills before an expert!"

Before he finished speaking, he moved his right hand in front of him, forming a standard sword-finger gesture.

"From the underworld, they transform into millions of soldiers, sixty-four generals obeying the decree. I, by the order of Fuxi Wen Wang, command the divine troops with utmost urgency."

While chanting the incantation, he thrust his right sword-finger directly into the old man's back.

A simplified version of the Evil Repelling Technique.

After all, Lu Bai never expected that such a thing would exist in this Deathmatch Arena. Even though he had mastered Maoshan Daoism, he hadn't prepared any talismans or anything, so he could only make do with this for now.

To his surprise, this makeshift Evil Repelling Technique worked remarkably well on the white-haired old man.

The old man let out a shrill scream as scorching flames suddenly burst into flames on his back. He threw away his cane and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames clinging to his back.

Call it a lucky accident or violent sabotage.

In short, Lu Bai could clearly notice that the path that the white-haired old man had previously hidden was gradually reappearing.

Instead of turning around and leaving immediately, he stared at the old man who was still rolling on the ground and slowly raised his hand to form a hand seal.

"By the decree of the Taishang Laojun Laozi..."

Several police cars were already parked at the park entrance.

Strangely, these police cars were neither flashing red and blue lights nor playing sirens; the scene appeared eerily quiet.

Several police officers surrounded Lu Bai's electric scooter parked by the roadside and checked the situation.

"Captain, it's almost certain that a citizen has wandered in by mistake."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged police officer, referred to as the Captain, frowned.

He abruptly turned to look at the police officer who had been on duty at the post. "Why didn't you stop him?"

In fact, no matter what kind of supernatural entity it is, it will become stronger by killing people.

The strange phenomenon of the old tour guide operating within a fixed area is that the more citizens he kills, the larger his activity range becomes.

In comparison, the strange phenomenon of having a fixed activity area is actually much less dangerous.

The simplest way to deal with it is to quickly seal off the area and prohibit citizens from entering it in the early stages of the strange occurrence, so as to prevent the strange from causing greater harm.

The problem is that the police officer on duty did not perform his duties properly.

So when questioned, the officer on duty just shrank back and didn't dare to refute.

Seeing the officer's reaction, the middle-aged officer couldn't help but sigh.

I realize I was indeed being a bit too demanding.

Since the strange occurrences began to plague the world, the frequency of accidents involving police officers on night duty has skyrocketed.

Like the Slit-mouthed Woman (Sequence 78) and the Cat-faced Old Woman (Sequence 76)...

These kinds of strange occurrences don't have a fixed range of activity; without getting close to investigate, it's impossible to tell whether they are ordinary citizens or supernatural beings.

But once they get close, the safety of the officers on duty cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, even with a significant increase in salaries and benefits, police officers on night duty can at most serve as human-shaped surveillance cameras.

However, it's not feasible not to assign personnel to patrol, since most of these strange entities cannot be detected by electronic devices.

"How much will the activity range of Sequence 183 expand?"

The middle-aged police officer glanced helplessly in the direction of the park, composed himself, and added, "Notify the expert team to conduct an assessment as soon as possible."

"I've already notified them." A bespectacled police officer closed his laptop, his mood equally sour.

"Damn it, if you're going to die, don't drag others down with you."

One of the hot-tempered officers started cursing under his breath.

Ultimately, the main job of the police officers on duty is simply to observe for any unusual activity; they generally don't have any extra work to do.

The authorities will announce areas where there are strange activities, and no one with a sound mind would approach such high-risk areas.

Not to mention, according to Article 25 of the "Guidelines for Emergency Management of Unusual Disasters" issued some time ago, citizens are not allowed to go out alone between 8 pm and 6 am the next day, unless there are force majeure factors.

In other words, Lu Bai was breaking the law by going out late at night.

Meanwhile, the "Outlaw" was retracing his steps, preparing to ride his electric scooter home.

It's worth mentioning that although there were no sirens, the car didn't have any flashing red or blue lights.

But with so many cars parked at the park entrance, anyone with good eyesight can see them very clearly.

"Why are there so many police officers here?"

Lu Bai hid behind the flower bed, somewhat puzzled. "Can't we kill that old man?"

The last Deathmatch Showdown started in prison, and before he had fully understood the basic situation of this world, he really didn't want to be arrested again in this new round of Deathmatch Showdown.

After thinking for a moment, he simply unleashed a large area of darkness, enveloping all the police officers at the door.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the police officers present immediately panicked.

This is a world where strange things exist, so their first reaction was naturally that something strange had appeared again.
