Chapter 1 Lee Ang's Sudden Appearance

The sudden appearance of Li Ang immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The two younger Special Affairs Bureau agents looked at each other, dumbfounded. Xun Zian glanced at Li Ang in his righteous cloak, then at the expressionless Liu Wudai, and hesitated slightly, saying, "This is..."

Before Liu Wudai could speak, Li Ang casually tossed his hair, smiled coolly, "Only when the sea rages can the hero's true colors be revealed. Only when the green mountains stand tall can the ambition to soar be unyielding.

"He is the pillar of white jade supporting the sky, the beam of purple gold holding up the sea, turning the tide when it has already turned, and supporting the building that is about to collapse.

"I am formally a three-meter-tall Leo-type hunk, code-named 'Akainu,' a Logia-type Magu Magu no Mi (Magma Fruit) user, and currently hold the position of Admiral in the Marine Headquarters, Sakazuki!"

Believe you, my foot!

The young male Special Affairs Bureau agent widened his eyes, silently complaining in his heart. He could be considered a loyal fan of *One Piece*. If the situation weren't so unclear, he probably would have already started loudly complaining—is there anything about this guy, from head to toe, other than that online-shopping cloak, that even resembles him?!

As a player belonging to the Mobile Task Force, Xun Zian had also roughly read *One Piece*, so naturally, he wouldn't buy it.

He immediately raised an eyebrow, and a pair of rather crudely made pink plastic handcuffs silently appeared in his hand, "Also a player?"

"Wait!"

Li Ang held out a hand, blocking it in front of him, and said in a serious and deep voice, "Team Leader Xun, I believe you have also noticed that

the disturbance here was not created by us,

but originates from another non-human player who has committed serious crimes and is currently on the run.

The mission that I and Xiao Liu received was to hunt it down in the city.

If we delay any longer, it will sooner or later do something that seriously endangers the lives and property of the general public. If you can let us continue our mission, we will definitely take the initiative to report to the Special Affairs Bureau afterward."

"I know."

Xun Zian, carrying the pink handcuffs, walked slowly with a blank expression, his aura constantly rising, "My other colleagues have already gone to hunt down that 'non-human player' and will bring them to justice before long.

Since you two have a regular mission, you can come with me to the base and undergo normal investigation procedures.

If there are no problems, we can completely help you two complete your regular mission, ensuring that you two suffer no losses."

On this point, Xun Zian was not deceiving them.

The Heterogeneous Society's decryption project for ancient legacy texts had a new breakthrough two months ago, discovering a formation called "He Tu."

The He Tu Formation is extremely cumbersome and complex, and the Heterogeneous Society has only deciphered less than one-thousandth of it, but this one-thousandth of the content is enough for the Heterogeneous Society to develop various mysterious effects.

For example, scanning and detecting all extraordinary energy fluctuations.

The Heterogeneous Society, in cooperation with the scientific research team of the Academy of Sciences, has gone through numerous experiments, analyses, and demonstrations, proving the controllability of He Tu,

and is using Yin City as a pilot city to test the effects of He Tu.

The experimental results were quite successful. Only twenty days after going online, the sensing range of the He Tu device has expanded to the entire Yin City.

If the extraordinary energy fluctuation is relatively minor, that's fine, but if the energy fluctuation is relatively violent, the He Tu device can directly and accurately scan and locate the energy source, and continuously track it for a long time.

If before this, players (especially most non-human players) did not dare to use extraordinary abilities to commit crimes because they feared being captured by the Special Affairs Bureau's Mobile Task Force,

then the appearance of He Tu has further deterred all players hidden in the shadows.

Tap tap tap.

Xun Zian's footsteps heavily trampled on the ground, and the indestructible cement pavement actually showed ripple-like patterns like water waves.

With each step he took, Liu Wudai's heart felt like it was being struck by a heavy hammer, about to shatter.

Absolutely, cannot be taken away like this.

Liu Wudai suddenly widened her eyes, and an ancient wooden bow appeared in her hand, her fingers already on the bowstring.

According to the system's notes, even if she explained it, she probably wouldn't get help from any of the Special Affairs Bureau personnel, including Xun Zian.

Not to mention that this mission may be related to her father and the lives of all Nightbloom disease patients, the time limit for the next barrier contraction is truly approaching. Once exposed outside the barrier, the player's Sanity value will continue to deplete.

If the Sanity value is exhausted, there will be no difference from being crazy—the Special Affairs Bureau will not, under this special situation, dispatch elite agents and explosion-proof vehicles to escort her to continue chasing the shrinking barrier range.

Then, she can only resist!

Liu Wudai tapped the ground with her toes and retreated violently. She drew her short bow, stretching the bowstring like a full moon.

However, Li Ang's movements were faster than hers. Almost the moment Xun Zian approached, he took out two SCAR-H rifles and swept them at Xun Zian's feet as if he was spraying water.

As one of the team leaders of the Mobile Task Force's Sixth Squad, Xun Zian would naturally not be harmed by this level of attack. He roared forward, manifesting a golden lion-elephant, as substantial as it occupied half of the street.

The bullets hit the surface of the lion-elephant, stopping as if they had hit ballistic gel, and falling to the ground with clanging sounds.

The two Special Affairs Bureau agents standing behind Xun Zian also rushed forward, one on the left and one on the right, holding two standard electric batons.

Tsk, troublesome.

Li Ang aimed at Xun Zian and directly activated his [Drowning Assassination Technique], filling the latter's respiratory tract with warm water, preventing him from continuing to maintain the Lion-Elephant Beast King Roar.

Miss Chai, who hadn't shown any expression, also manipulated the Qing'e Armor to trample over, and in the unbelievable eyes of the Special Affairs Bureau agent, she took a hit from the electric baton and punched the agent heavily, sending her flying. The agent crashed into the traffic light across the intersection, staggering and unable to stand up again.

Since her teammate had already made a move, Liu Wudai had even less reason to hesitate,

shooting a wooden arrow at the last young man.

That single wooden pole arrow, without fletching, burst into countless fragments in mid-air, forming a circle of wood shavings around the agent,

If the latter tried to cross the circle barrier, the wood shavings would rise without wind, cutting him all over.

Neither side intended to kill, but how could Xun Zian sit idly by and ignore his subordinates being attacked? Enduring the suffocating feeling of vomiting water, he stepped heavily on the ground, crossed a distance of more than ten meters, and swung the pink handcuffs to put them on Li Ang's hand.

If the user actively attacks or is attacked during the release of the [Drowning Assassination Technique], the special effects of the assassination technique will be interrupted.

Li Ang rolled backward in a hurry, avoiding the pink handcuffs.

Xun Zian wanted to attack again, but Miss Chai behind him directly dismantled a streetlight and smashed it towards the back of his head, wrapped in the force of the wind.

Duang—

Xun Zian's head was hit heavily, but there was no blood,

instead, the solid streetlight made of metal was bent, vaguely showing the outline of a human head—just like the effects in the *Tom and Jerry* cartoon.

Taking advantage of this brief delay, Liu Wudai also buffered the cooldown time of her Wooden Arrow Prison skill,

remotely shooting an arrow at Xun Zian, temporarily blocking his steps,

At the same time, she jumped into the driver's seat of the black car and shouted to Li Ang, "Get in the car!"

Li Ang grabbed the roof of the car and nimbly jumped into the back seat through the car window he had pulled down earlier when he was pretending to be Li Dakang. He greeted Miss Chai, had the car drift to turn around, and sped away, raising dust.
