Let Me Handle It

"I'm fine."

Lu Bai got out of bed and stretched. "By the way, where are those criminals? I want to go see them."

Minister Zhang just gave a brief account of what happened while Lu Bai was in a coma, and he mentioned the fighters who were fighting to the death.

"Of course, uh, now?"

Minister Zhang was taken aback for a moment.

They didn't know why civilians would carry out such a terrorist attack, and naturally wouldn't rashly execute these heinous fighters before figuring it out.

So, apart from a few unlucky ones who were shot dead on the spot, the vast majority of the fighters were taken into custody by the Action Department.

It's not fair to say these fighters were too weak.

The main reason is that the personnel in these Action Department are mostly elite soldiers drawn from the military; any one of them could easily be placed in a special forces unit.

These operatives are indeed inadequate against the supernatural, but they can handle some powerless fighters.

Even if the fighters are all highly trained, they are unlikely to make any waves due to the disparity in numbers.

At most, it was because the population density was too high at the time, which caused many people to be affected.

"Okay, now, take me to see it." Lu Bai nodded.

Minister Zhang hesitated for a moment. "And your injury?"

"It's alright."

Since things have come to this point, it would be impolite to argue further.

Minister Zhang had no choice but to agree.

The room was filled with high-ranking officers from the Action Department who had just entered, and before they could even settle in, they all rushed out of the ward.

In fact, Lu Bai had been unconscious for less than a day.

Despite the chaos caused by the Plague Doctor, the evacuation of residents in Keshanshi City is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

It's obvious that with over a million people in the city, it's impossible to just cram them all into the neighboring city. Just thinking about all the problems that would arise is enough to give anyone a headache.

Therefore, the Action Department made various contingency plans for the evacuation of the public.

The Keshan Military Region has now been transformed into a reception center.

The management system of the shelter is similar to the emergency management system during natural disasters.

Thanks to the advance preparations, the vehicles transporting various supplies arrived very promptly.

Buses full of people continued to arrive outside the military area, and those who got off were taken to the tents at the Keshan Relief Center by the staff.

People registered their information and received emergency supplies...

Everything was so well-organized.

Lu Bai stood in the corridor of the military hospital for a while.

Noticing Lu Bai's gaze, Minister Zhang clapped his hands and laughed, "Master Lu, this is all because of you!"

Director Lu Bai Service and Research Guarantee Bureau, with his bald head, added in agreement, "Yes, if it weren't for Master Lu's selfless intervention, probably very few people would have survived last night..."

Surrounded by high-ranking personnel from the Action Department, Lu Bai arrived at the prisoner ward on the top floor of the military hospital.

Yes, all the fighters who were arrested last night are being held in the criminal ward.

The ward windows and doors have reinforced iron bars to prevent criminals from escaping.

Through the gaps in the iron fence along the way, one could see that these fighters were all in a rather disheveled state.

A girl wearing a bow hair clip, a dapper young man, and Swift Minion...

Among them, Swift Minion suffered quite serious external injuries and was given temporary treatment by medical staff. He is currently on an IV drip.

There's no way around it; even without special abilities, deathmatch fighters can still become highly professional and dangerous criminals.

It won't be easy to control them without first injuring them.

Minister Zhang observed Lu Bai's expression, but unfortunately, Lu Bai maintained a kind Smiling Face throughout, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

Minister Zhang had no choice but to tentatively inquire, "Master Lu, do you think... these people are..."

From Lu Bai's perspective, the dozen or so criminals who had been captured all had brightly lit artistic characters floating above their heads, clearly indicating that they were all fighters ready to die.

He was even somewhat surprised that the Action Department had managed to capture so many survivors.

"That's right."

Lu Bai nodded seriously. "They all carry a strange, sinister aura. They must have been bewitched by some kind of strange force, and could suddenly attack and harm people at any moment."

Minister Zhang immediately revealed an expression of "I knew it."

He couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a way to remove the yin energy from them? I've looked at each of their files; they were all ordinary citizens before."

"If I had woken up earlier, perhaps there would still have been a chance, but now it's too late."

Lu Bai put on a sorrowful expression.

After a symbolic moment of remembrance, he suddenly spoke up, "I'll handle this. The yin energy these people carry might contaminate others."

"That's the only way."

Minister Zhang glanced back at the high-ranking officers of the Action Department behind him, then sighed deeply, "Master Lu, please don't feel guilty. If you can't bring yourself to do it, I can arrange for someone to handle it."

Lu Bai took a pistol from Captain Mao's arms and said, "It's what I should do."

The senior executives of the Action Department present were all filled with awe and respect.

Minister Zhang straightened his back and gave Lu Bai a military salute. "Master Lu, on behalf of the people of the whole country, I thank you for your selfless assistance."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A dozen or so gunshots rang out intermittently from the top floor of the military hospital.

[Bite!]

[Points +16, Current Points: 16, Current Rank: 1/138]

The mechanical notification sound in Lu Bai's head ensured that none of the captured fighters survived.

As you can see from the rankings, the number of dead fighters is approaching one hundred.

Perhaps it's because the dangers of this round of Deathmatch Arena are so unpredictable that many deathmatch fighters, even if they hide, will still lose their lives to the strange forces if they're unlucky.

This is why the death rate of the deathmatch fighters had already climbed to this level even before Lu Bai had begun his hunt.

The people present were all well-informed and experienced, so they didn't show any discomfort because of such a bloody scene.

Minister Zhang waved his hand, signaling that someone should be sent immediately to dispose of the corpses in the criminal ward.

Lu Bai returned the pistol to Captain Mao, turned around and went to the corridor, looking at the seemingly endless cluster of tents stretching out from the drill ground below.

He leaned on the corridor railing, his expression grave. "It seems there are still some citizens tainted by this eerie energy who haven't been exposed yet."

"Such a thing?!"

Minister Zhang's expression tightened.

Last night's rioters caused a staggering number of casualties, leaving many people still shaken.

If this happened again, the problem would be much bigger.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Lu Bai then switched to a compassionate tone. "I will go and find these poor people one by one and help them find peace."
