Leaving the Shelter

"Replicant?"

Vice President Zheng crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "I can't pretend I didn't hear you say that about my My Lord."

Lu Bai spread his hands. "Then why don't you do it?"

In fact, he had a premonition that this Vice President Zheng, or Can Society, would not be loyal to those so-called leaders at all.

When he first learned about the Can Society, judging from the group's mission, Lu Bai thought that the Can Society was full of extremists with mental problems.

However, once he got to know the people in the Can Society, he could clearly sense that they weren't really extreme and that he could communicate normally with them.

Even some of the gang leaders are considered outstanding within the deathmatch community.

Are people like this really going to be led by the nose by this so-called Lord and obey His every word?

A hint of amusement crept onto Lu Bai's smile.

Vice President Zheng clicked his tongue, then changed the subject. "So what exactly did you do to warrant such a powerful intervention from our My Lord Flower to come looking for you?"

"Who knows? In the Deathmatch Arena, you can just easily kill someone you encounter."

"It can't be that simple, can it?"

Vice President Zheng squinted and probed, "There are so many Replicant in the Deathmatch Arena, winning and losing are common, but this is clearly someone coming down to silence us."

Although these people Can Society are unaware of the price they will have to pay for this arrival.

However, the fact that the descents occur so infrequently suggests the difficulty of their arrival.

In fact, even if a fighter humiliates a Replicant in the Deathmatch Arena and then kills it, the Replicant usually won't come looking for them in real life.

More likely, it was because a certain deathmatch fighter performed too well in the Deathmatch Arena that the Replicant came down and eliminated him in advance.

Lu Bai didn't explain further, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question, "Have you been there, or do you know how to get to the surface?"

"Of course, after all, all the colleagues in the Can Society hope to meet our My Lord."

Vice President Zheng's tone was undisguisedly seductive. "I can tell you, do you want to know?"

Lu Bai lowered his eyes and casually snapped his fingers.

A blurry white mass leaped from his fingertips, reaching a height of about four or five meters, at which point countless threads extended from the white mass and fell to the ground.

In an instant, Lu Bai and Vice President Zheng were enveloped by the white silk threads that were spaced apart.

[Birdcage (Gold): Forms a cage made of silk threads. Once formed, the Birdcage will connect with the outside world; touching the silk threads that make up the Birdcage will cause damage.]

Do you have the ability to refuse me?

"Open the door! Is anyone home? If you don't open the door, we're going to break it down!"

Outside the door, several Security Personnel knocked on it for a while, but no one responded.

On the twenty-fourth floor of this Livability Building, Li Shan looked at the surveillance footage synced to her tablet and asked with some confusion, "Are you sure there are any residents in this room?"

The bald, middle-aged man quickly explained, "We've already asked the neighbors next door. A single woman lives in this room. She came home last night and hasn't left the room since."

Li Shan thought for a moment and then pressed the button on the communication device.

"Permission to break down the door."

As soon as he gave the order, the monitoring screen on the tablet changed rapidly.

Two Security Personnel took out a battering ram and rammed the door three times, finally smashing a large hole in it.

The Security Personnel were standing by the door reached in, found the lock, and opened the door. The other Security Personnel filed in.

As you can see, the actual usable area of the room is very small, the windows are closed, and the curtains are drawn, making visibility poor.

A Security Personnel then went to the window, pulled back the curtains, and opened the window to ventilate the room.

In such a short time, the other Security Personnel had already finished inspecting the house.

After all, the entire apartment only has one bedroom and one living room, so there's nowhere to hide.

The clutter was piled up haphazardly throughout the room, and the appliances and furniture such as the TV, refrigerator, tables, and chairs were visibly old, suggesting that the owner of the house was not well-off.

Where are they?

Nobody's home.

Finding nothing particularly unusual, Li Shan said without much thought, "Perhaps that neighbor misheard last night. Try to contact this household."

As he spoke, he touched the screen, preparing to zoom out on the surveillance footage.

However, at that moment...

Bang!

A sudden gunshot shattered the tranquility inside the room.

Thump~

The Security Personnel who opened the window had a large hole in the back of his head from a bullet, and he collapsed on the spot.

The Security Personnel present were all stunned, because the one who fired the shot was also a Security Personnel.

"Ah... Ah Wei, what are you doing?!"

Three more gunshots rang out in quick succession.

After all, the room was only so big, and there were only five Security Personnel in the room.

Apart from the Security Personnel was the first to be killed, the remaining three also met their demise.

All that can be said is that the Security Personnel who fired the shots were accurate marksmen; three bullets pierced the skulls of the three men, splattering red and white matter all over the ground, and even the old walls were splattered with a large amount of blood.

Upon seeing this, Li Shan's pupils suddenly contracted.

In the surveillance footage, the Security Personnel who shot and killed four of his colleagues turned around, revealing an exaggerated smile, his lips almost reaching his ears.

Standing in the corridor with body cameras, Li Shan could clearly sense the panic in the hearts of the Security Personnel in the corridor from the wildly shaking surveillance footage.

The reason the Security Personnel outside the door did not leave was that the crazed man stopped attacking and instead raised his gun to his temple.

"That person isn't here, so how dare you contact me?"

He pulled the trigger, the gun fired, and he fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, none of the five Security Personnel who broke into the room survived.

Those who witnessed this scene were all horrified.

With such a turn of events, Li Shan could no longer remain calm.

He jumped to his feet and casually handed the tablet to the bald, middle-aged man. "Keep an eye on the scene, I'll be right there."

As Li Shan hurried toward the elevator, her expression became unusually serious.

As his partner, Feng Yixuan naturally followed closely behind, and she had no intention of joking along the way.

There are many ways to deal with five armed Security Personnel, but what's terrifying is that they have absolutely no idea how it's done.

If the murderer possessed such silent control, then deploying more Security Personnel would be useless; in fact, the Security Personnel wouldn't even have the courage to continue the investigation.

Li Shan made a decisive decision. "Yi Xuan, report to headquarters and request reinforcements."
