Chapter 404
Li Shan has a very clear understanding of herself.
Based on the various abilities the murderer has demonstrated so far, he is certain that he cannot apprehend the murderer on his own, nor can he even find out who the murderer is.
Given that new victims could appear at any time, even if he wanted to act tough, he wouldn't choose this moment.
Ding dong~
The elevator doors opened, Li Shan stepped out, quickly arriving at the new crime scene.
Since he didn't know how the murderer had controlled the Security Personnel, he didn't rush into the room. Instead, he stood outside the door, cautiously observing everything inside.
If it weren't for the five corpses still lying in the room, you wouldn't see anything wrong at all.
Admittedly, Li Shan knew he could force a Security Personnel to leave the gun outside and enter the room alone.
Perhaps doing this could reveal some clues, but such a method is a bit too cruel. Li Shan would not issue such an order unless absolutely necessary.
"Guard the door and don't let anyone into this room for now."
Anyway, the headquarters of the City Martial Force had already received Feng Yixuan's report requesting reinforcements, and after understanding the situation on the ground, they increased their attention to this case.
"Did they say who makes up this reinforcement unit?"
Since she had nothing better to do, Li Shan casually asked.
Feng Yixuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, it's led by the Captain of our City Martial Force squad. Once the big boss arrives, we should be able to go home. I'm already craving it; I want to go eat Haidilao after work."
Hearing this, Li Shan's heart skipped a beat. "Don't jump on the bandwagon."
Livability City, deep in a secluded alley.
Under Lu Bai's control, the "Birdcage" covered an area of less than ten square meters and would not attract any attention at all.
Faced with the Birdcage that instantly enveloped him, Vice President Zheng showed no intention of testing Birdcage sturdiness. He calmly accepted his current predicament and, without a word, began explaining to Lu Bai how to leave the shelter.
The initiative was so proactive that Lu Bai suspected that Vice President Zheng might be deliberately trying to tell him about this.
"... That's about it. It's not difficult for you. With your authority, Captain Lü, you should be able to find it in the City Martial Force database."
Vice President Zheng explained the method for leaving the shelter in one breath.
The cigar between his fingers was half-burned before he picked it up, took another drag, and added, "But I don't recommend you look into that kind of information. City Martial Force keeps a record of your browsing, unless you plan to leave openly."
Lu Bai nodded, snapped his fingers, and removed the "Birdcage" that had been enveloping the two of them.
After expressing his sincere gratitude, he casually took all of Vice President Zheng's abilities.
Although he has a "discard pile," Lu Bai can find the right ability no matter what situation he encounters, but who would complain about having too many abilities?
"Then we'll meet again someday."
Lu Bai left the alley, stood on the commercial street to quickly determine his location, and then headed towards the central area of Underground City.
It's worth mentioning that his face, which usually always seemed to be smiling, was expressionless at this moment.
When he first arrived in this world, he was curious about the state of the surface of this world.
However, his time in the shelter caused him to consciously or unconsciously overlook this aspect.
It's human nature to be reluctant to leave one's comfort zone, but taking action is one thing, and thinking about it is another.
Lu Bai knew clearly that he had never had the thought of leaving during this time.
Thinking about it more closely, it seems a little scary.
Putting aside the days spent in the Deathmatch Arena, he only lived in this underground shelter for a total of about six months.
This effect was achieved in just six months.
During this time, he subconsciously never had the idea of leaving the underground shelter.
If it weren't for the fact that Replicant had descended upon the shelter, he doubted whether he would have even remembered that humans originally lived on the surface if he had stayed in the Underground City any longer.
It was almost as if some kind of subtle, unseen influence was subtly affecting them.
What about the people who have lived in this underground shelter since birth?
Haven't they already formed a firmly ingrained ideological imprint?
Regardless of whether there is any real ideological interference, Lu Bai intends to go to the ground to take a look.
Leaving the underground shelter was not difficult for him at the moment.
He gathered his thoughts and slowly walked to the military restricted area behind the city council building.
Within the restricted area stands a building over a kilometer tall; looking up from afar, it resembles a pillar reaching to the sky, a truly magnificent sight.
One has to marvel at how exaggerated the world's building materials science is.
Lu Bai gazed into the distance for a while, then turned and walked to a blind spot in the surveillance system. He cast an invisibility spell on himself and then brazenly crossed the no-entry line in front of numerous guards.
From a distance, the building appears narrow, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that its footprint is not small; even the narrowest floor covers an area of two or three acres. It only appears narrow due to the building's exaggerated height.
Lu Bai stood at the building entrance, waiting for someone to come in or go. He seized the opportunity and slipped into the building by hugging the wall.
There weren't many people in the hall, and no one seemed to be in a hurry; they all appeared to be quite relaxed.
"The entrance to the secluded elevator to the ground is on the 404th floor."
Recalling the information given by Vice President Zheng, Lu Bai walked to the elevator area and waited.
According to Vice President Zheng's intelligence, this building is always guarded by more than two full-strength City Martial Force units. In all the attacks launched by the Can Society to break through more than one hundred floors.
To enter floors 400 and above through the proper channels, one would need at least the level of City Martial Force Captain; ordinary City Councilor wouldn't even be qualified to enter.
The specifics of what's done on each floor of this building are unclear to the Can Society; they only know that it's highly classified.
But floor 404 is an exception.
Anyone can swipe an internal staff member's ID card to take the elevator to the 404th floor.
Lu Bai didn't have to wait long before he encountered a staff member who was about to take the elevator upstairs.
In stealth mode, Lu Bai followed closely into the elevator like a shadow.
He scanned the elevator and activated [Flash Time].
Taking advantage of the fleeting 0.5 seconds, the invisibility was switched to Mind Control, and the pre-prepared settings were crammed into the employee's brain.
When time began to flow again, Lu Bai had already returned to his invisible state.
The staff member, in a daze, pressed the button for the 404th floor.
