Allies? No, I'm just a passing Dark Knight!

Inside the dimly lit warehouse, shrouded in hazy white light.

"Ah!"

A scream filled with agony echoed, followed by the terrifying sounds of rapidly growing bones and twisting flesh, which reverberated throughout the entire warehouse.

Pain!

Unimaginable pain!

As Xiao Tong regained consciousness from his stupor, he felt a magma-like power flowing through his veins, making his blood boil.

Sizzle.

Soon, Xiao Tong's skin turned red as if scorched by flames, making him look like a lobster being roasted.

"Ah!"

Yet, amidst this scorching pain, Xiao Tong felt a mysterious power awakening within him.

"Roar!"

"Roar roar!"

A moment later, Xiao Tong suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide, and let out a monstrous cry.

His hands swelled, his fingernails fell off, and then ten sharp, black claws grew in their place. Finally, two fangs extended from his lips.

Werewolf transformation?

No, this was a normal reaction for anyone who injected that [One-time Half-demon Serum].

"Power! Is this the great power after injecting the serum?"

A moment later, Xiao Tong raised his hands, looking at the sharp claws on his fingers, a dangerous killing intent filling his gaze!

Squinting slightly, Xiao Tong felt the immense power surging within him, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. "With this power, why should I ever worry about failing a mission?"

"Even that mysterious person from before, I could probably crush him with one claw now."

Just as Xiao Tong was lost in his fantasies, a cold voice suddenly echoed in his ear, "I'm sorry to interrupt your fantasy, but since they are your last words, I should at least let you finish them."

[Last words? What last words?]

[Why would I need last words?]

As Xiao Tong stood there, bewildered, two whooshing sounds filled the air. His sharp eyes caught sight of two blue beams of light flashing past his face, piercing his chest on both sides.

At that moment, Xiao Tong finally realized that the mysterious person who had defeated him was standing in the darkness about five meters away.

This was precisely why Xiao Tong hadn't noticed anyone else in the room.

"Thump!"

With the agonizing pain of his heart being pierced and burned, Xiao Tong's eyes widened, his pupils losing all their light. His body went limp, and he collapsed heavily onto the warehouse floor.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The next second, another blue laser beam, filled with destructive power, pierced Xiao Tong's head, killing him completely.

Under the hazy glow of the fog lights.

"Tread, tread."

Wang Zhong, holding a [Small Psionic Laser Gun] in his right hand, slowly emerged from the darkness.

"Buzz buzz!"

Wang Zhong's sharp eyes could clearly see wisps of blood-red light flying out from the half-demon lying on the ground. They followed an unseen trajectory towards him, eventually merging into his chest.

At the same time, that familiar anomaly reappeared before Wang Zhong's eyes.

Just then, a pale blue virtual panel materialized out of thin air before Wang Zhong.

[Killed a half-demon containing [Demon Power], Holy Power +3.]

[Host: Wang Zhong] [Holy Office: Primary Saint] [Companion Holy Artifact: Mechanical God Book] [Mechanical Saint Power: 14/19 (16→19)] [Mechanical Remains: Electric Heart (Primary Mechanical), Mechanical Right Eye (Primary Mechanical)] [Upgrade Progress: 1.2/6] [Strength Level: Level 2 Psionic Warrior]

"Those crimson glows, are they [Holy Power]?"

"But even with the increase in Holy Power, my body doesn't feel any stronger. Or is it that this [Holy Power] doesn't directly enhance the physique?"

After researching for a while without reaching a conclusion, Wang Zhong could only shake his head and shift his attention back to the bizarre-looking half-demon corpse in front of him.

How to maximize profit!

This question had become the most pressing concern for Wang Zhong at the moment.

A moment later.

Wang Zhong took out his [Mechanical Phone A10], took a few photos, and sent them to Captain Li Ying. Then, he had the [Intelligent System] simulate an unknown phone number and call Captain Li Ying.

A few seconds later.

A serious voice came from the [Mechanical Phone A10]: "Who are you? Why are you sending me these disgusting photos?"

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Wang Zhong's mouth. He said coldly, "You can call me Mysterious Person. As for why I'm sending you these photos, it's simply because I find you pleasing to the eye."

"So, are you challenging me? Or challenging our bureau?"

"These corpses are all half-demon corpses. Half-demons are beings created when ordinary humans are injected with demon blood..."

"What? Half-demons?"

"That's right. This half-demon experiment is a human experiment by [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company]. I only discovered it in the past few months..."

"So, you're looking for allies? Do you have a grudge against [Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company]?"

"Looking for allies? No, I'm just a passing Night Knight. I'll send you the specific address, but this matter is of great importance. I hope that while you maintain secrecy, you can also do your best to protect the safety of the slums. This is my home, after all."

Click.

After saying this, Wang Zhong decisively hung up the mechanical phone. Earlier, he had already instructed the [Intelligent System] to alter his voice, so he wasn't afraid of Li Ying tracing any clues through his voice.

Change face! Change voice! Change body shape!

This was the basic operation for creating a new persona nowadays.

Night Knight.

This was the name of Wang Zhong's new persona!

Notifying Li Ying.

This was the most direct approach Wang Zhong chose after weighing the pros and cons.

Wang Zhong was, after all, just one person. He couldn't save everyone from the attacks of so many [half-demons]. Therefore, it was better to throw out this [half-demon] bait and let the visible [Psionic Plainclothes Officers] handle the matter.

"Next, I should clock out and go home."

"This [Holy Power] has also recovered to 14 points. It's time for me to prepare a new identity."

Muttering a few words, Wang Zhong walked out of the warehouse with a cold expression.

Of course.

Before leaving, Wang Zhong had already cleaned up most of the traces left in the warehouse. Unless there was a being capable of using [Time Reversal] powers, they would never be able to fully reconstruct anything that happened in this warehouse.
