Volume Two: Heroes of Might and Magic and Magic: The Death Battle, Chapter 145: Gathering Corpses
After exiting the small alleyway from Erzhen Gewei, a smile appeared.
The person on the phone was the Doctor. His voice sounded weak and listless, as if he hadn't slept for days; it was obvious he was in serious trouble.
However, the Doctor also has a group of reincarnators under his command. Generally speaking, they can handle any situation that arises, so why would he need to come to him?
Li Wei was still furious about the An Hei tactics the other side had used, but he didn't just suffer in vain; Li Wei also gained quite a bit of benefit.
... Secret Department Number, according to Xue Yan, is a very powerful position that can exercise privileges in many areas. This gave Li Wei an idea: since he wanted to gain some power to prepare for the coming New World, why not make good use of this position's identity?
Therefore, Li Wei agreed to the Doctor's request for help.
Coincidentally, the questions all pointed to the hospital, which really piqued Li Wei's curiosity. Fortunately, there was a hospital nearby where the incident had occurred, so he decided to follow the crowd and take a look.
So, Li Wei followed the flow of people on the street and squeezed his way towards the hospital.
At this moment, the area around Kuangyuan was already packed with people, and the main roads nearby were blocked as a result.
"I haven't seen anything like this in years!" Squeezed in with Li Wei was a middle-aged man, around 80 years old, who, judging from his animated expression, seemed to really enjoy this kind of "lively" occasion.
"Hey young man, what happened?" Li Wei chatted with the middle-aged man with great interest.
"Shooting!" the uncle said mysteriously. "I heard someone died. It would be a shame to miss this spectacle, but young man, while you're watching, if anything goes wrong, come run with me! We need to make sure we're safe while we're watching the excitement!"
Li Wei nodded quickly.
The uncle next to him was indeed a frequent spectator of excitement. With his guidance, Li Wei followed along in the crowd like a fish swimming in water, and soon he squeezed to the front, where he could already see the hospital gate blocked by vehicles and barriers.
Dozens of people in police uniforms stood there. Li Wei saw that they were all holding police Firearms Mastery and had solemn expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Several elderly people were patiently using a loudspeaker to persuade the onlookers to leave.
However, due to the chaotic scene, their policy offensive was clearly not very effective.
"Damn it, get these people out of here! This isn't an amusement park. We've already lost seven or eight brothers in the hospital. That thing inside could burst out at any moment. Hey, Old Wang, have you reported this to your superiors? Why haven't reinforcements arrived yet?"
A tall, short-tempered man paced back and forth in the guard room near the main entrance.
The surrounding police officers dared not raise their voices, fearing they might offend the notoriously violent Chief Tie. The middle-aged officer, known as Old Wang, shook his head helplessly.
"Deputy Director Tie, the higher-ups said we need to maintain the situation. And this incident has been assigned to a special department; they'll be here to assist us soon!"
"That's good!" Tie Xuan sat down and took a big gulp of water, but his heart was pounding.
Since last month, he has encountered more strange things than he has ever encountered in his entire life. The most memorable of them was undoubtedly the suspect who caused a scene at the police station a little over a month ago.
It should be noted that Tie Xuan rarely encountered anyone who could defeat him, but that time, his opponent not only defeated him, but also did so easily, achieving a completely overwhelming victory, which left a deep impression on him, a man obsessed with martial arts.
However, he didn't know at the time that it was just a small part; the real surprise was that the suspect had vanished while surrounded by dozens of police officers.
Yes, Tie Xuan, lying on the ground, remembered clearly that the suspect named Li Wei had simply vanished into thin air, an event that had given him nightmares for several nights.
Even more strangely, a few days later, his direct superior, Director Guo Jian, and his son, Guo Ming, were both found dead at home. He did not participate in the investigation of this incident because his superiors had issued a gag order, forbidding anyone from investigating the case.
What kind of person, and what kind of department, issued this order?
Keep in mind, the person who died was a police chief. Are you just going to let this go like that?
Moreover, who killed Guo Yan?
Tie Xuan immediately thought of the man named Li Wei, but after that, that man seemed to have vanished into thin air. However, Tie Xuan still remembered him.
At the time, the Public Security Bureau was in a real mess. Fortunately, because of this incident, Tie Xuan was promoted to deputy director, and the deputy director was naturally promoted to director as well. This time, after receiving a report from the hospital, he personally led the team over. He originally thought it was an ordinary case, but what he encountered next was a terrifying nightmare that he would never forget.
Of the dozen or so fully armed police officers, only four escaped. He himself was among them. If it weren't for the special police officers who fought desperately to delay the monster, Tie Xuan knew he would have died there too.
Just thinking about that monster made Tie Xuan break out in a cold sweat.
"What the hell is going on? Can anyone tell me? What the hell is going on?" Guo Jian slammed the cup in his hand to the ground. Perhaps only by doing so could he relieve the pressure in his heart.
"Director Tie, there's someone outside who wants to see you!"
At that moment, a SWAT officer carrying a gun jogged over and reported.
"Who goes there?" Tie Xuan looked up, startling the SWAT officer... He didn't say. He just told me to give this to the person in charge here! The SWAT officer said, taking out a black cell phone and handing it to Tie Xuan.
The latter took the phone with a puzzled look, glared at the SWAT officer, and said, "Are you out of your mind? It's just a phone! Who is that person? Get him out of here right now!"
Looking at his phone, Tie Xuan didn't find anything wrong; the numbers inside were very strange, even completely fabricated.
"Doctor, number... Winter"
The only caller ID displayed this thing; anyone with common sense knows that you can't make a phone call using letters.
"Little Railway Bureau, can I see that phone?" Old Wang, standing nearby, looked at the black phone and his expression changed. His voice trembled slightly.
"What's so interesting, Old Wang? Why haven't the reinforcements you promised arrived yet? If this continues, the situation will get out of control!"
Tie Xuan roared, but still tossed the phone to Old Wang.
To everyone's surprise, Old Wang merely glanced at the blackened chicken blood.
"Where is the person who gave you the phone? Take us there now!" Old Wang grabbed the SWAT officer who brought the message, his face contorted with rage.
The latter was stunned. After a long while, he stammered, "Right at the main gate!"
Upon hearing this, Old Wang grabbed Tie Xuan and ran outside. Tie Xuan, who was behind, realized what was going on. Old Wang was a veteran policeman who had been working for many years. What hadn't he seen? For him to act so strangely, something big must have happened.
"Old Wang, what's wrong with you? Tell me what happened!" Tie Xuan asked as he walked.
"Railway Bureau, our reinforcements have arrived."
Old Wang pulled Tie Xuan a few steps to the front gate, and immediately looked up to look outside.
What came into view was a sparse crowd of people; if it weren't for the pre-prepared bollards and barriers, the dozens of police officers alone might not have been able to hold them back.
"Reinforcements? Where are they?"
Tie Xuan was puzzled. Apart from the civilians, there was no one else at the gate. In his understanding, reinforcements would be a large number of armed troops, preferably with tanks as well. That should be enough to maintain the situation. As for that monster, no matter how powerful it was, it couldn't be as powerful as artillery, could it?
"Old Wang, don't try to fool me! Where are the reinforcements?" Tie Xuan looked around, but saw nothing but people.
Li Wei, standing in the crowd, was taken aback. He had a good memory; wasn't that tall, burly policeman in the hospital the same guy he'd met at the police station last time?
Can't you find yourself?
Li Wei chuckled, but suddenly unleashed a burst of imposing aura.
In an instant, the scene, which was noisier than a vegetable market, suddenly fell silent, as if hundreds of people talking had their throats choked at the same time.
They didn't know why, only that for a brief moment, they suddenly felt dizzy and their heart was racing.
Others might not know, Tie Xuan had practiced martial arts since childhood. How could he not know that this was the aura that only a top-level master could unleash? In an instant, he spotted that person in the crowd.
"It was him!"
At this moment, the crowd, having recovered from their shock, erupted into another clamor. However, Tie Xuan could hear nothing; he only saw that person.
Old Wang, who was standing nearby, ran over and brought Li Wei inside. Even if he were stupid, he would know that this person was not simple. However, this also matched his impression of that mysterious department called...
Old Wang's actions puzzled the surrounding crowd. Why could he go in and watch, while they were kept outside, even though they were just there to watch the spectacle?
However, they were met with the expressionless faces of a group of special police officers.
Taking the phone from Old Wang, Li Wei pretended he had never seen Tie Xuan before. In fact, Tie Xuan, an ordinary person, was insignificant in Li Wei's eyes at this moment. What caught his attention more was the aura emanating from the hospital.
"Take me to the scene!"
Looking at his phone, Li Wei thought to himself, "This thing really works. Judging from the middle-aged policeman's expression, he clearly understands what the black phone represents... Please come with me. This is our leader, Deputy Director Tie Xuan. Director Tie, this is the special agent sent by the higher-ups!"
Old Wang knew that the existence of "Li Wei" was a secret and couldn't be revealed to so many people, so he had no choice but to label Li Wei as a secret agent.
"Agent?"
