Feng Jun arrived, panting, with a fully armed team of field agents. The moment he saw Han Xiao, he anxiously grabbed him, patting him up and down to check for injuries. "Are you hurt?" he asked.

Han Xiao pointed to the graze on his cheek, annoyed. "Are you blind?"

"Good that you're alright." Feng Jun sighed in relief, his expression troubled. His protectee being injured after only twenty-four hours of protection made his face burn with shame.

"It's not your fault." Han Xiao didn't blame him. He pointed to Nosa's corpse and frowned. "That guy was an executive officer of Germinal, a super-assassin who has never failed."

"Nosa Korn?"

Feng Jun immediately recognized the name. He couldn't not know it. A Star-Dragon high official had once died under Nosa's gun in broad daylight. Nosa had always been a capable officer of Germinal, never failing, like a deadly viper that the Six Nations greatly feared.

Feng Jun suddenly realized something and looked at Han Xiao incredulously, his voice cracking. "Wait, you were ambushed by Nosa, and you killed him! You're that strong?!"

"Is this the first day you've known me?"

Han Xiao said irritably.

His mind sank into the interface, and reward information appeared.

[Character Arrival Card: Unleashes the abilities of the character once]

[Character: Nosa Korn]

[Ability: Illusion Esper (E) - Targets with Intelligence above 50 can resist]

[Uses 0/1]

Character Arrival Cards were relatively rare consumables, only dropped from special missions. They could temporarily use the abilities of an NPC character. There used to be studios that specialized in farming these character arrival cards and providing them to rich tycoons who liked to throw money around. Although Han Xiao didn't rely on such things to fight, who wouldn't want an extra trump card?

Han Xiao was glad that he had added his free attribute points to Intelligence early on, inadvertently resisting Nosa's Esper ability. It would have been terrible if he had only remembered to add points after being hit.

"Germinal Organization, I accept this gift." Han Xiao's eyes flashed slightly.

Since they were enemies, it was normal for the enemy to deal with him in any way possible. He wouldn't complain or be angry; all he had to do was meet violence with violence.

[Receive reward?]

"No."

This kind of illusory consumable could be stored in the interface and received when needed.

Mad Blade Furious Sword was left to the side, looking at the group of black-clad agents in surprise. He kept using detection skills, and after seeing the "Star-Dragon National Land Strategic Defense Bureau" identity of the field agents, he felt that Han Xiao was even more unfathomable.

Feng Jun pointed to Mad Blade Furious Sword and asked suspiciously, "Are you familiar with this guy?"

"Ignore him."

Han Xiao took the square towel Feng Jun handed over, wiped the wound on his cheek, and frowned. "Nosa found my location, which means Germinal also knows."

"Not necessarily. The Intelligence Department has blocked the network and is conducting program screening and manual identification. Any message mentioning you is not allowed to be transmitted out of Xidu."

Han Xiao's expression turned serious. "Are you sure?"

Feng Jun nodded, hesitating. "Nosa wouldn't act without authorization. He must have handed over the information to the spies lurking in Xidu. Sooner or later, it will be transmitted out by human power."

Hearing this, Han Xiao turned and left without saying a word.

"Hey, where are you going? I still need to take you to headquarters to report." Feng Jun hurriedly called out.

"No time to explain. You apply to the higher-ups to seal off the entire city!"

Since Nosa never failed, he probably wouldn't be too cautious and would act as soon as he found him. His information came from Germinal spies lurking in Xidu. Since network information couldn't get through, the spies could only leave the city. The information might not have reached the Germinal Organization's higher-ups yet.

Han Xiao knew the identity of Germinal Organization's contact person in Xidu.

He hadn't dealt with the contact person all along because it wasn't necessary. If he killed one, Germinal would send another stranger over. It was more effective to keep a familiar nail and pull it out at a crucial moment.

Killing Nosa allowed Germinal to confirm that Han Xiao was in Xidu, but if he could intercept the information, he could prolong the time it took for Germinal to confirm his specific address.

Although this was just his guess and the information might have already left the city, it was worth trying even if there was only a slight chance. This had always been his code of conduct.

"Li Yalin, you immediately notify the others to go to District Eight to find me. This is my location... Remember to drive here!"

Li Yalin was confused. "Are you treating? It's not sincere to go to the slums."

"Don't ask so much, hurry up!"

Han Xiao hung up the phone and smashed the glass of a car on the side of the street with an elbow before jumping into the car.

It was time to seize every second and not worry about the small things.

The car owner was on the phone next to the car and was startled by the sound of breaking glass. He hurriedly ran over, grabbed Han Xiao's collar, and shouted, "Get out of here!"

Han Xiao's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the car owner's upper body and pulled him into the car, slamming his head against the steering wheel, making a piercing horn sound.

"Great, saves me from having to cut the wires to start it."

Han Xiao held down the struggling car owner, searched for the keys, successfully started the car, and then pushed the car owner away and sped away with the accelerator to the floor.

The car owner sat on the ground, his face imprinted with the pattern of the steering wheel, and looked dazed. "Damn, are car thieves so rampant now?!"

…

Driving recklessly through the city, cars swerved to avoid him. Soon, he passed through several blocks. At this time, sirens sounded, and a traffic police motorcycle followed. The traffic policeman shouted, "The car in front, pull over immediately and accept the inspection!"

Han Xiao pulled out the car owner's driver's license and threw it out.

"Take it and deduct points, deduct as many as you want!"

Ignoring the traffic police following behind, Han Xiao arrived in District Eight, got out of the car, and strode toward his destination. The traffic police motorcycle followed closely, blocking his path. "Stop right there!"

Han Xiao was furious. Why did everyone want to chat with you when you were in a hurry?

With a chop to the neck, the traffic policeman didn't expect to be attacked and fainted with a roll of his eyes.

Han Xiao strode forward, turned through the intricate narrow alleys, knocked down three gangs of robbers blocking the road, and came to an abandoned small church. This was a residence occupied by the poor, with many homeless people sleeping on the floor, spending night after night accompanied by fleas, mud, and the smell of sweat.

Planet Hai Lan also had religions. During the war period in the old era, suffering made many displaced people seek spiritual sustenance. This sect seized the opportunity and added the most popular concept during the war period, "I hope for world peace," to its doctrine. As a result, its followers once reached tens of millions.

Then, the holy land of this sect was actually nuked.

The true god they believed in, "Lord of Heaven," didn't come out to save them from suffering, so this religion gradually died out.

Rushing into the church, the homeless people looked over sleepily.

Han Xiao scanned the room and didn't find his target. His eyes narrowed, and he grabbed a homeless man next to him and shouted, "I'm asking you, where did the man who lives here, with a stubble beard, a red wolf head tattoo on the back of his hand, about 1.8 meters tall, and around forty years old go?"

The homeless man looked at Han Xiao, who was covered in blood, flinched, and said carefully, "Are you talking about Lugaoen? We all call him 'No Tongue.' He almost never speaks. He disappeared at noon today."

Noon?

Ordinary citizens leaving Xidu had to go through checkpoints and undergo a series of review procedures. It was now after two o'clock in the afternoon, so there might still be a chance to stop him.

Xidu had three entry and exit checkpoints. Which one would Lugaoen take?

Han Xiao frowned and thought. He wasn't hoping that Bureau Thirteen would seal off Xidu in time. Not to mention whether the higher-ups would agree to make a big fuss, even if they decided to seal the city, he didn't know how long it would take. Lugaoen might have already run out.
