I arrest myself? Codename [Witch]!

Meanwhile.

Inside Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company.

A furious argument was erupting in the general manager's office.

In the general manager's office.

Oppressive!

An extremely oppressive atmosphere permeated the brightly lit office.

At this moment, the robust general manager Xia Jinbao, whose body was covered in flab, glared with angry eyes at the subordinate standing before him. He spoke coldly, "Dr. Zhao Ku, didn't you guarantee that even this ordinary anesthetic could control those [Half-demons] for three days?"

"And now, on the second night, you come to me personally to tell me that a [Half-demon] codenamed [Witch] has escaped from the laboratory!"

"So, tell me, what should we do?"

As he uttered the last sentence, Xia Jinbao's eyes widened fiercely, and a chilling glint suddenly appeared in them.

At this moment, a murderous intent had been suppressed in Xia Jinbao's heart for a long time, about to erupt.

Standing before the desk was a fifty-something-year-old man with sparse hair, who looked thin and frail, wearing a white lab coat.

The most striking feature of this man in the white lab coat was the deep furrows on his face, resembling a parched rice field, making him look like a weathered farmer rather than a scientist engaged in research.

This man in the white lab coat was named [Zhao Ku].

He was not only a geneticist researching genetic science but also a doctor skilled in surgery.

"This is terrible!"

Dr. Zhao Ku, standing before the desk, saw Xia Jinbao, who usually showed him some respect, looking so furious. His already hunched posture became even lower. "I apologize, General Manager Xia. I didn't know that the test subject would develop an immunity to the anesthetic and then escape the laboratory while our staff wasn't paying attention."

As he spoke, he seemed to realize his mistake and quickly tried to salvage the situation. "Don't worry, give me one night, and I'll definitely find this test subject."

"Fine, I'll give you one night. Before 8 AM tomorrow, if I don't see that test subject, you report yourself to headquarters."

A moment later, Xia Jinbao stared coldly at Dr. Zhao Ku, his face devoid of emotion. "You know how headquarters deals with waste. Not only will you suffer, but your friends and family will too..."

Hearing these threatening words, Dr. Zhao Ku's face grew even more bitter. He slightly bowed his body, his face filled with fear, and said, "General Manager, please don't worry, I, I will definitely find the escaped test subject..."

City center.

On a bustling street.

A panicked white-clothed girl, with blood flowing from her feet, limped towards some residential buildings near the street.

However, when the white-clothed girl reached the entrance of a residential building, she stopped. She then tore off two pieces of cloth from her clothes to wrap her bleeding feet...

After doing this, the white-clothed girl quickly went to the back door of the residential building. Then, she burrowed into the nearby grass, heading towards the grass of the adjacent residential building...

After burrowing through the grass of seven residential buildings, she finally stood up and limped towards a farther street.

However, upon closer inspection, some faint bloody traces on the road where the white-clothed girl had walked seemed to have been erased by some force. Over the bloodstains, a layer of dense, dirty soil was spread.

Psychic power!

Telekinesis!

Not four or five minutes after the white-clothed girl left...

"Crackling!"

A team clad in black trench coats arrived at the first residential building where the white-clothed girl had stopped, following the bloodstains.

"The bloodstains disappear here. It seems the test subject is nearby..."

"Search the nearby residential buildings!"

At this moment, a man in a trench coat with metallic-looking hands stepped out from the group. He first examined the surroundings of the residential building, then suddenly waved his hand, giving sharp orders to the subordinates around him.

The next morning.

Around 6 AM.

"Ring ring!"

"Ring ring!"

A crisp mobile phone ring suddenly woke Wang Zhong from his sleep.

"Intelligent System, who is calling me?"

From under the covers, Wang Zhong tossed and turned, asking the [Intelligent System] with annoyance.

"Master, the caller ID shows Captain Li Ying."

The next second, the [Intelligent System]'s cold electronic voice sounded in Wang Zhong's ear.

"Sigh!"

Reluctantly, Wang Zhong could only poke his head out of the covers and weakly say to the [Intelligent System], "System, connect me to Captain Li Ying..."

Captain Li Ying: "Wang Zhong, are you up yet?"

Wang Zhong: "Not yet! Captain, it's not even seven o'clock. Are you calling me for a special mission?"

Captain Li Ying: "That's right. Did you notice anything unusual last night?"

Wang Zhong: "No! Well, I didn't notice anything. But, that [Bionic Patrol Crow] might have noticed something. Captain, do you want me to bring it back to the station?"

Captain Li Ying: "No need. I'll send you a document shortly. Memorize the information inside, and then, please keep an eye out for the person in the photo in the slums..."

Captain Li Ying: "Also, if you find the person in the photo, do not act rashly. Call us immediately, understand?"

Wang Zhong: "Understood, Captain."

Captain Li Ying: "Also, your surveillance mission with Manni has changed. It's no longer one person per team, but two. Tonight from 8 PM to tomorrow morning at 8 AM, it's your turn with Manni. You don't need to start work so soon..."

Wang Zhong: "Huh? I have to pull an all-nighter again?"

A moment later.

After hanging up, Wang Zhong, holding the [Mechanical Phone A10] in his right hand, received a document and several photos.

Sitting up, Wang Zhong reached out and grabbed the [Mechanical Phone A10] from the cabinet. He only glanced at it before his eyes widened, and he said in astonishment, "Damn it, this is a case of the hunter becoming the hunted! The Captain is sending me to arrest myself?"

At this moment, following Wang Zhong's gaze, one could see the screen of the phone in his hand displaying a profile picture.

[Name (Codename): A Passing Night Knight]

[Strength Level: Level 3 Psionic Warrior]

[Charge: Suspected Vigilante? Suspect with potential for aggression?]

[Remarks: All colleagues, please be aware of this individual. Do not act rashly, nor engage in pursuit.]

Looking at the familiar photo on the phone screen, Wang Zhong couldn't help but twitch his mouth, looking utterly speechless.

"Sigh, it looks like the search for my second clone needs to start as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, once Manni and I are on patrol together, I'll be spread too thin!"

Coming back to his senses, Wang Zhong looked at the photos displayed on the phone screen, his eyes narrowed, and an idea immediately popped into his mind.
