Attempting to Exploit a Bug

"What are you afraid of?"

Li Shu hoisted the soldier up from the ground, staring straight into his eyes.

The soldier felt as if this man's gaze could devour him whole; a bone-chilling cold washed over him, making him tremble even more violently.

"Please, spare me," the soldier stammered.

Li Shu set him down gently, but the soldier's legs had already turned to jelly. Unable to stand, he collapsed onto the floor, his eyes filled with terror.

"I need you to answer a few questions." Li Shu looked down at him, his expression cold and stern.

The soldier nodded frantically. Just then, another soldier behind them scrambled up and, seizing the moment Li Shu was distracted, bolted toward the door like a madman.

At the same time, Li Shu moved. Although his back was turned to the fleeing soldier, it was as if he had eyes in the back of his head, allowing him to judge the man's every move with pinpoint accuracy.

Li Shu simply raised a finger toward the rear, and a beam of energy shot out, instantly piercing the fleeing soldier's heart and killing him on the spot.

This sudden turn of events made the remaining soldiers, who had been harboring similar thoughts, gulp in unison, their hearts filled with lingering fear.

Li Shu acted as if nothing had happened. "Tell me every crime you have committed. If I discover you are hiding anything, you have already seen what the outcome will be."

"And all of you, get ready. I will be questioning you one by one." He turned his head and swept his gaze across the other soldiers.

Evil deeds?

The soldiers were stunned for a moment. Now that they thought about it, the crimes they had committed were insignificant compared to this devil standing before them.

"I... when I was a child, I peeked at the neighbor's auntie while she was bathing," one soldier whispered.

Li Shu stared at the soldier with a blank expression and said in a deep voice, "I will give you one more chance to rephrase that."

The soldier's Adam's apple bobbed, his forehead beaded with sweat. With a look of slight agony, he said, "I killed my own father! He..."

"Very good, that will do." Li Shu cut off the rest of the soldier's account. He didn't want to know the reasons; judging by the result, this single crime was already heinous enough.

Li Shu moved on to the next soldier.

"State your greatest crime. For example, the one who just killed his father—that was quite 'criminal'."

The soldier trembled as he spoke: "I... I slept with my neighbor's wife. After the neighbor found out, I killed their entire family."

Just like that, the remaining soldiers confessed their crimes.

It had to be said that the crimes committed by these eight soldiers were all worthy of the death penalty.

If he handed all eight of them over to the police, would that count as punishing the wicked and promoting good?

It probably would.

And would that count as eight separate evil incidents?

Li Shu immediately dialed the police, gave a brief explanation of the situation, and stated that he had accidentally dismantled a criminal organization, hoping the police could send officers as soon as possible to handle the aftermath.

"What? Muscle Tower? Are you talking about the Muscle Tower in the north that belongs to the Red Ribbon Army?"

Upon hearing the location, the dispatcher's voice was filled with astonishment.

They knew that even the police force was unwilling to offend the Red Ribbon Army, as the power of this private armed organization could be described as a warlord regime.

Its firepower was far, far greater than that of their small police station; unless the military was deployed, there was no contest.

Even if the military were deployed, the outcome would still be uncertain.

As far as he knew, not only were the weapons and equipment in their police station bought from the Red Ribbon Army, but many of the advanced weapons used by the military were as well.

The Red Ribbon Army was already the world's most powerful arms dealer; not only were they wealthier than nations, but their armed forces were also capable of rivaling them.

A branch of such a behemoth in the north had been destroyed by a single person?

It was simply unbelievable.

Regardless, upon receiving the emergency call, they were required by protocol to send officers to investigate.

"Please wait a moment; we will arrange for people to come over immediately."

"Remember to send several transport vehicles. There are quite a few prisoners here—I estimate there are several dozen," Li Shu couldn't help but advise.

Although he had only breached the first floor, if he wanted to, he could destroy the entire Muscle Tower in 60 seconds at most.

If the bug was successfully exploited, the rewards would be extremely generous. The 5,000 achievement point reward for the 'Punish the Wicked' mission and the [Great Hero] title were, so to speak, within his grasp.

Li Shu's current behavior seemed extremely strange and incomprehensible to the soldiers.

Calling the police?

He actually called the police?

The soldiers didn't react at first, but soon they felt a sense of relief. At least they wouldn't have to suffer inhuman torture; to them, going to jail was nothing at all—they weren't afraid of it in the slightest.

With the strength of their Red Ribbon Army, whether it was the police station, the detention center, or the prison, everyone had to give them face and back off.

In the soldiers' understanding, as long as the Red Ribbon Army wasn't at war with the entire world, they were an invincible existence.

No matter how strong the devil before them was, he couldn't possibly fight against a behemoth like the Red Ribbon Army.

As long as they could survive this immediate crisis, they would inevitably gather more forces to retaliate in the future.

Li Shu didn't know what they were thinking, but he could see that they were confused by his decision to call the police.

"You have two choices now."

"One, I break both of your legs."

"Two..."

"I choose two!"

Before Li Shu could finish, the soldiers hurriedly chose the second option in unison.

"Very good, the second option is also me breaking both of your legs."

The soldiers were instantly plunged into despair, looking at Li Shu in terror.

The sound of shattering leg bones rang out one after another, accompanied by agonizing screams.

To prevent these soldiers from escaping, Li Shu not only broke their legs but also tied them up with rope, so the police could take them away directly upon arrival.

Having dealt with the lackeys on the first floor, Li Shu headed toward the stairs leading to the second floor.

At this moment, in the Muscle Tower command room.

General White's face was full of shock, and standing beside him was a ninja dressed in purple attire.

The purple ninja's face was equally filled with shock.

What shocked them was not Li Shu, but Son Goku.

Ever since Son Goku entered the second floor, their attention had been fixed on him.

In General White's eyes, since Son Goku could defeat eight elite soldiers in just a few seconds, his strength was far superior to Li Shu's, making him naturally more worthy of attention.

"That brat actually destroyed Colonel Metallic with his bare hands! And he's an Android made entirely of metal!"

"A terrifying brat indeed, but rest assured, General. Colonel Metallic is an Android after all; his intelligence isn't high, and he's just a defective product developed by Dr. Gero. It doesn't prove much."

"With me guarding the third floor, they will never make it through!" The purple ninja formed hand seals and vanished with a poof.
