Elite Monster

"Is that a Xenomorph?" Feng Ling picked up her axe, already eager to get started.

Huangfu Miaomiao stammered, "Y-yes, it's an Elite Monster!"

"An Elite Monster?" Feng Ling paused, unable to process it for a moment.

Huangfu Miaomiao immediately wanted to slap herself!

She hurriedly explained, "No, no! What I mean is, it's a person! A human with Cards! And one who has completed at least one digestion!"

Meanwhile, the people in the minivan had already gotten out.

The man in front strode over aggressively, cursing as he came. "Who the fuck are you shining that light at?! Get out here!"

Feng Ling got out of the truck with her axe.

The moment he saw the axe in her hand, he quickened his pace. "You even brought a weapon? What, planning to rob people in the middle of the night? Supervision Bureau investigation! Put that weapon down!"

The Supervision Bureau?

Feng Ling raised a brow and studied him suspiciously—

His hair was a complete mess, paired with an arrogant, overbearing face. He wore a graffiti T-shirt beneath a black studded leather jacket, with ripped jeans below, the holes in the legs blooming like frangipani flowers.

Someone dressed like that was from the Supervision Bureau?

Feng Ling's first impression of an Inspector had come from Su Yuqing. This man was nowhere near Su Yuqing's level.

She was about to question him when he approached and froze, staring at her in shock. "You're Feng Ling?! Fuck, you really are that Feng Ling! Why the hell are you in Jiangkou City?!"

Hearing him call Feng Ling's name, several more people got out of the minivan one after another, all staring eagerly in their direction.

Feng Ling did not know that, in just one day, she had already gained a bit of fame within the Supervision Bureau.

Zhou Diao grew excited. He had checked Feng Ling's file, seen her photo, and recognized her face. He also remembered the scent of this Truck.

His gaze shifted past Feng Ling to Huangfu Miaomiao in the vehicle. "Since you're Feng Ling, then that thing in the truck must be the Xenomorph that escaped, right?"

Huangfu Miaomiao's face went pale in an instant. She shrank into her seat, not daring to move.

Feng Ling glanced back at Huangfu Miaomiao and said calmly, "Yes, she's a Xenomorph."

"Ha!" Zhou Diao laughed and raised both hands. "I knew you two were in this together!"

The next second, his raised hands suddenly swelled into two Beast Claws! One of them shot straight at Huangfu Miaomiao!

Bang!

A transparent Bone Blade blocked the mutated Beast Claw!

"Fuck! You're harboring a Xenomorph and you still dare resist?!" Zhou Diao flew into a rage, swinging his other Beast Claw mercilessly at Feng Ling!

Feng Ling leaped backward and avoided the strike, but her Small Truck was not so lucky. A sheet of metal along its side was torn straight through by the Beast Claw!

Feng Ling's expression changed instantly as she muttered, "One thousand..."

"What one thousand?" Zhou Diao pulled back his Beast Claw and glared viciously at Feng Ling. "Quit spouting nonsense to distract me! Harboring a Xenomorph, attacking an Inspector—those charges are enough to put you behind bars for ten years!"

Feng Ling's face had gone from pale to livid, and her gaze was frighteningly cold!

A Bone Spike suddenly thrust out from her other shoulder. Like bamboo shoots after rain, Bone Spikes sprang up and unfolded into a transparent Bone Blade, chopping down at Zhou Diao's face!

Zhou Diao immediately raised his Beast Claw to block!

Clang!

The Bone Blade and Beast Claw collided with a crisp sound close to metal striking metal!

Zhou Diao sneered. "You're pretty strong, but with just this much skill, you're still far from beating me!"

Feng Ling raised the axe in her hand with a cold expression—

Zhou Diao's face changed drastically. "Fuck! You have four claws?!"

His two Beast Claws hastily relaxed, allowing the Bone Blade to slash down into the ground. At the same time, he rapidly retreated, jumping to the side of the minivan. He crouched low, staring warily at Feng Ling like a cheetah.

Feng Ling's eyes looked as though she wanted to devour someone!

Zhou Diao immediately wanted to curse again. His Beast Claws had always been unstoppable, and even against Feng Ling's Bone Blades, he definitely had a chance of winning! But besides the Bone Blades, Feng Ling still had two hands, ahhh!!!

Zhou Diao turned and snapped at the team members beside him, "Are you all fucking dead?! Get over here and help me!!!"

Several team members looked at one another, but no one said a word.

One of them took out his phone and carefully said to Zhou Diao, "Deputy Captain, Captain Su is calling on video."

Sure enough, a handsome, stern face appeared on the phone screen.

Zhou Diao roared, "Who the hell called him?! I can handle this myself!"

Unexpectedly, Su Yuqing in the video ignored him completely and instead instructed, "Give the phone to Feng Ling."

Zhou Diao: "???"

The team member gave Zhou Diao an awkward smile, then carried the phone over to Feng Ling.

"You're ignoring me?!" Zhou Diao stared in disbelief, then immediately chased after him and demanded, "Lao Su, you believe her over me?!"

"Didn't you say you could handle it yourself? Then I'll handle her matter." Su Yuqing shot back evenly.

Zhou Diao: "..."

When Feng Ling saw Su Yuqing on the video call, her expression eased slightly, but she still did not lower her axe.

"What happened?" Su Yuqing asked her.

"He damaged my truck." Feng Ling stepped aside and pointed at the deep claw marks on the door. "It's a Truck I rented. The deposit was one thousand. If the vehicle is damaged in any way, not only do I have to pay for repairs, but the deposit will not be refunded."

She stressed the final four words.

Su Yuqing secretly ground his molars and suppressed his temper as he asked Zhou Diao, "Deputy Captain Zhou, why did you damage her truck?"

Zhou Diao replied as if it were only natural, "She's harboring a Xenomorph!"

So Su Yuqing asked Feng Ling, "Were you harboring a Xenomorph?"

Feng Ling said, "I wasn't harboring her. I raised her."

Zhou Diao erupted on the spot. "Isn't that the fucking same thing?!!"

"Of course it isn't. This is my Card Ability." Feng Ling beckoned to Huangfu Miaomiao in the truck. "Come here."

Huangfu Miaomiao sat in the truck, her toes curling in embarrassment. She had no idea what to do, but she bit her lip and slowly got out. With her head hanging low, she stood beside Feng Ling, looking utterly helpless.

Feng Ling said to her, "Call me Mom."

Huangfu Miaomiao looked up with wide eyes. "...M-Mom?"

Feng Ling pointed at Su Yuqing on the phone and said to Huangfu Miaomiao, "Call him Uncle."

Huangfu Miaomiao understood. She hurriedly nodded at Su Yuqing. "Hello, Uncle."

"See? This is my Card Ability." Feng Ling was completely matter-of-fact.

Zhou Diao was speechless. "You really dare to make up any bullshit."

Feng Ling said, "Just tell me—is this ability useful or not?"

Zhou Diao said, "Useful my—"

Before he could finish cursing, Feng Ling interrupted, "Can you distinguish humans from Xenomorphs?"

Zhou Diao: "..."

Feng Ling patted Huangfu Miaomiao on the head. "She can."

Feng Ling asked again, "Can you distinguish ordinary humans from special humans who possess Cards?"

Zhou Diao: "..."

Feng Ling smiled and patted Huangfu Miaomiao on the head again. "She can."

Zhou Diao felt so stifled that his chest hurt. He could not even refute her!

There'll be two chapters tomorrow—one at noon and one in the evening~~
