Looking at Xu Feng lying in a pool of blood, Number Three sighed silently.
The kinetic bullet pierced his chest, leaving a wound the size of a bowl.
Xu Feng's lifeless eyes gazed at the full moon in the sky, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Number Three quickly stepped forward to inspect.
There is no hope left.
Splash--
A person fell from the sky.
He glanced at the corpse on the ground and said to Number Three, "Well done, you've done a great job this time."
Number Three stood up. "Executive."
The man was his superior, the executive officer.
Number Three spoke up, "Sir, I feel there's more to Xu Feng's case than meets the eye. Regarding the company, shouldn't we...?"
The executive officer interrupted him directly.
" Xu Feng has dozens of lives on his hands. Now that you've killed him, we've given the public an explanation."
"The person is dead. This case is closed. There's no point in investigating further."
"Take the body back; hold a press conference first thing tomorrow morning."
The executive officer stepped forward, patted Number Three on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "It'll be dawn in four or five hours. Don't sleep."
Prepare a decent outfit for yourself and think about what to say when facing the reporters tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Number Three looked utterly astonished. "You want me to speak at the press conference?"
"Of course," the officer replied matter-of-factly. "You killed a notorious criminal and restored peace and order to Sea Capital. You are a great hero to the people of Sea Capital."
Great hero?
For the first time, Number Three found those three words so jarring.
"If I remember correctly, you've broken through to level four, right?"
"Last month."
"That's perfect for participating in this year's judge assessment."
Number Three never imagined that he would obtain his qualification for the Judge assessment in this way.
" The Law Enforcement Department needs young people like you."
"From now on, it will be up to you to uphold order and the law."
The executive officer said calmly.
Number Three opened his mouth.
He tried to speak, but found his throat blocked and couldn't utter a single word.
Rumble--
Just then, a black Jeep suddenly drove into the street, its headlights illuminating most of the street.
I want to take the body with me.
The man with the crew cut got off the car; he was wearing a military uniform without epaulets.
The executive officer stepped forward. "Isn't this the captain of the Hell Vanguard?"
"What? Can't sleep at night and out for a walk?"
The crew-cut man, expressionless, repeated, "The corpse, I'm taking it with me."
The executive officer waved his hand with a smile, "Take him away, it's no big deal."
"Tell me a place, and I'll have my men deliver it to you later."
The crew-cut man didn't answer, and instead hoisted Xu Feng's body up.
After Beast Transformation, Xu Feng grew much taller and could no longer fit into the car.
The crew-cut man chopped off the roof of the car with one hand, placed Xu Feng in the passenger seat, and fastened his seatbelt.
A moment later, as the crew-cut man started the car and was about to leave, the executive suddenly spoke up, "I came out so late at night to help you get rid of these termites, don't you even have a word of thanks?"
The man with the buzz cut extended his right thumb out of the car, rotated it 180 degrees, and pointed it downwards with a heavy thud.
The car engine started, and the car executed a beautiful drift, quickly disappearing into the vast night.
The executive officer scoffed, "A bunch of brainless, stupid brutes."
The executive officer left, leaving Number Three standing there alone, bewildered.
From their conversation just now, Number Three could sense that they seemed to have some kind of grudge.
However, the Law Enforcement Department and the Military Department theater command should be like two parallel lines, never intersecting.
After telling his teammates to call it a day over the communication channel, Number Three walked away forlornly into the distance.
In Dasha distance, Aries sits on the Sidelines a building's rooftop.
While enjoying the late autumn breeze, they watched the confrontation between the executive officer and the crew-cut man.
"It's a pity."
"The assessment was failed."
Aries stretched.
Although things did not develop in the direction he had predicted.
Overall, the results were pretty good.
It was originally intended as an appetizer dessert.
He didn't have the same anticipation for the main meal.
The phone rang at that moment.
"Are you done on your end?"
It was a call from Fishes.
"Just finished."
"Come back quickly, the next phase of the operation is about to begin."
Ram hung up the phone.
Since the defeat at Pearl City, Virgo has revealed his entire plan to the group.
After listening, even the seasoned Aries was amazed.
He finally understood why Leo valued Virgo so much and specifically sent him over to cooperate.
If they succeed in the end, Virgo might actually be promoted to a higher position despite not meeting the usual requirements.
Ram gets up, opens his arms, and plunges headfirst into the building.
In mid-air, a circular teleportation array appeared, Ram disappeared into it.
"Was that Wen Jing's brother just now?"
From where Number Three had just been, Qin Ze, inside the Shelter Space, witnessed the entire process.
The man with the crew cut was Wen Jing's older brother; Qin Ze had met him once before at the restaurant that day.
Judging from the executive officer's words, the crew-cut man seems to have quite a background.
"This is getting more and more interesting."
At this point, Qin Ze realized that Xu Feng's case was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.
Mysterious organizations, corporations, the Military Department, and Law Enforcement are all drawn into it.
There seems to be an unseen force at play.
Miss Qin strolled along the riverbank, recounting the events of the evening from beginning to end.
"What? You've become addicted to cross-dressing?"
"Wearing women's clothing is either a one-time thing or an endless series of times."
"After seeing your demonstration of the Thousand Faces ability today, I suddenly have a bold idea."
"Da me~ Da me yo~"
"..."
Hearing the mockery from his clone on the Local Area Network, Qin Ze realized that he hadn't taken off his women's clothing yet.
You're still alive?
A surprised voice came from in front of me.
Qin Ze looked up and saw it was Tony, the teacher.
"You weren't taken away by the Law Enforcement Department?"
He managed to blend into the crowd and escape.
Seeing Tony hesitate, Qin Ze sighed softly, "I was too late; I couldn't save her."
"Oh... I see."
Tony's expression clearly showed his loneliness and sadness.
"That's fine too."
"She's lived in regret all these years; it's good that she's free now."
Qin Ze leaned against the railing by the river. "Could you tell me her story?"
Tony nodded and slowly said, "She was sold to this club along with her sister."
"They were booked by customers on their very first night."
My sister didn't live to see the next day.
"Later I heard that the customer that night was a pervert, and my sister single-handedly fends him off. She was so terrified that she crouched in a corner all night."
"After a few days of being down, she suddenly seemed like a completely different person."
"She always has a smile on her face, and if she does 100% of her work every day, she can do 120%."
"Perhaps she was living on her sister's back, too afraid to die."
Tony immediately looked at Qin Ze's face.
"You and your sister look so alike, almost nine out of ten."
"When she initially decided to help you tonight, she was actually trying to redeem herself as well."
Qin Ze remained silent.
Even those as insignificant as ants strive to live.
What are your plans for the future?
Tony gazed at the river. "Let's go back to our hometown Shi'an, and open a hair salon."
"If you ever have the chance to come to Shi'an again, I'll treat you to a haircut."
Qin Ze nodded. "Okay, it's a deal."
Tony: "It's a deal."
