“Leave?”

Li Ang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, arms crossed in front of him. “Leave to where?”

“The Special Affairs Bureau headquarters.”

The red-tie agent put away the files and said calmly, “Considering that you carry divinity, and with the double authentication of our department's Su Nisheng, and the detection results of these glasses...”

He raised his hand and gently tapped the unremarkable glasses on his nose. “Your strength should be quite good. You should have some understanding of the basic rules of the Killing Field game, and the Special Affairs Bureau's operating procedures.

“We won't let go of criminals who maliciously disrupt social order and endanger the lives and property of the people. We also won't arbitrarily judge cases or impose sanctions.

“Fairness, justice, compliance with rules, respect for human rights.

“Please come back to assist our investigation. Our department will do its best to ensure you receive a fair outcome.”

“A fair outcome?”

Li Ang grinned, as if he had heard something very interesting. “I don't know whether to say you're sticking to the rules and regulations, or that you're as stubborn as robots.

“For the sake of some criminals who aren't even worth dying for, you dare to arrest a player of unknown strength who carries divinity in a residential area, in an apartment building.”

“Firstly, we don't act for the sake of those former criminals like Qi Lianxiang, but for order and justice.”

The young red-tie agent pushed up his glasses and said calmly, “In fact, even without you, with the increasingly developed Skynet system, and its increasingly close connection with the criminal investigation system, some long-standing unsolved cases that lack manpower and clues can be taken over by intelligent AI systems.

“Through big data calculations and reasonable allocation of manpower, investigations can be reopened, and suspects in old cases from years, decades, or even decades ago can be found and given a fair trial.

“Furthermore, locating and pursuing you is not as difficult as you imagine.

“Personally, all the efforts you made as an ordinary person were professional, but when we focus our attention on you, or even just suspect you, everything in your past can be known to us—the internet age doesn't have that many secrets to speak of.

“We can trace all your past records, find clues, and piece together your experiences as an ordinary person and as a player.

“And now...”

He casually pointed to the eight metal pillars forming the barrier. “These anchoring devices, developed by the equipment department, have undergone numerous tests. Even high-level players will have their combat power reduced to an unacceptable level within the area.

“Besides, we also have this...”

Cash/Points await you!

The red-tie agent took out a pair of handcuffs and shackles from the void. Compared to the Special Affairs Bureau equipment Li Ang saw last time, the current handcuffs and shackles are silvery-white, made of metal, and have slowly flowing red light on the surface, which looks much more advanced.

“Personal suggestion, there's no need to make the scene too ugly. It's better for all of us.”

The red-tie agent said gently, “So, what do you think?”

“I can go with you, but,”

Li Ang frowned and pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “I want to talk to Wang Congshan first.”

“Hmm?”

The red-tie agent raised an eyebrow in slight surprise. According to the profiling results of their intelligence department, Li Ang, who lacked empathy, should be someone who uses any means to achieve his goals. He didn't expect that in his current predicament, he would think of Wang Congshan first.

“Sorry, that's not possible.”

The red-tie agent shook his head. “Our department has asked Comrade Xiao Wang to assist us with our work. I believe you also agree that she is just an irrelevant member of the public in this matter...”

“I want to talk to Wang Congshan first.”

Li Ang said slowly, word by word, without a trace of emotion in his eyes. “If you can't make a decision, let your leader come. Otherwise, I won't cooperate in any way.”

“”

The red-tie agent frowned slightly and sized Li Ang up.

The glasses he was wearing could see the approximate combat power level of a life form after locking on. It was standard equipment issued to front-line agents by the Special Affairs Bureau, and the detection results were generally accurate.

In the glasses' detection interface, Li Ang's estimated combat power was not high.

This was also consistent with what the intelligence department detected through the Skynet system.

At least it was still within the capabilities of all the agents present.

However, if they could avoid a fight, it was best to avoid it—the upper and lower limits of divinity-bearing creatures were extremely large. Even if there was only a 0.01% possibility of risk, there was no need to take it.

After all, this was not a desolate wilderness.

“Wait a moment.”

The red-tie agent turned around, picked up the communication device, and talked for a while, then turned back and looked at Li Ang.

“Comrade Xiao Wang is willing to talk to you, and this request has also been approved by our department.”

The agent handed the palm-sized communication device into the barrier and reminded, “However, the communication channel used by this device is encrypted and protected. No skills or equipment effects can be applied through the communication device.”

Li Ang didn't waste any words, nor did he explain to outsiders that he wouldn't vent his anger on Wang Congshan. With the level of understanding between the two, she had already guessed the general situation.

“Huff”

Li Ang picked up the communication device, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and brought the communication device to his ear. “Hello.”

“Hello.”

Wang Congshan's slightly trembling voice came from the other end of the communication device. The sounds of the surrounding environment were exactly the same as before.

“”

Li Ang was silent for a moment. “Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

In the interrogation room of the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters, Wang Congshan pursed her lips, dared not look at her parents, turned her side to cover the communication device, and hurriedly wiped her eyes and reddened nose, and said softly, “They, they didn't do anything to you, did they?”

“No~ope~”

Li Ang grinned. “Don't you know my strength? I can always find a way, no matter what. Don't worry, it's all small problems.”

“Yes.”

Wang Congshan was silent for a moment, as if she suddenly thought of something, and stammered, “They said they had something very important to find me for, and then showed me a bunch of things, and wanted me to call you, I...”

“I understand, it's not your fault.”

Li Ang said slowly, “You said before that the bicycle bell was broken, you were actually reminding me, right? I almost forgot, my broken bicycle doesn't even have a bell. Heh.”

He paused, feeling the inexplicable silence of this moment, and said softly, “Those things, should, indeed be what I did.”

“”

Silence fell on the other end of the communication device.

“The whole thing, uh, is quite complicated to explain.”

Li Ang scratched his head. “However, I never thought of deceiving you, nor did I ever think of using you as a disguise to cover up my identity. My feelings for you have always been sincere. Uh, it seems like there's something not quite right about that.”

Li Ang smacked his lips and said with a flickering gaze, “Ahem, anyway, let's talk about it when we meet. I'll explain it to you then. You don't have to worry, they won't do anything to me.”
