Chapter 24: Conclusion

In an office in the police station, Huang Ling Jun stood before the table, his body upright, not daring to take a deep breath as he looked extremely tense.

Before him, a man of unknown age was sitting with his back facing him, staring out of the window. From Huang Ling Jun’s perspective, he could only see the robust limbs of the man, just the aura of his back view gave one the impression that he could take over the world.

“That Li Anping, where is he now?”

Hearing the man’s question, Huang Ling Jun thought over it a little, then replied honestly: “According to the satellite images half an hour ago, he has left Zhongdu, heading south.”

“Escape? Why does he need to escape?” The man’s tone was full of confusion, as if he was really perplexed.

Huang Ling Jun hesitantly replied: “Is he afraid of getting arrested?”

“Does he need to be afraid? From the battle footage at the parlour, unless we use WMD, small troops no longer pose a threat to him, not to mention police, whether they’re armed or not. Unless he already knows of our existence.” Saying so, the man turned around, revealing a face with no wrinkles, no eyebrows, an expressionless face.

Only a pair of eyes, revealing his countless experiences.

Anyone who sees this pair of eyes would think that the other party had been through all sorts of hardship and turmoil in his life.

He took a few photographs from the table, not saying a word. Those were the corpses of Wester and his gang.

Huang Ling Jun asked: “You’re suspecting they revealed information to him?”

The man nodded: “Li Anping went to the bar, and murdered Shang Zheng Bang there. Next, he took the black man away, and from the corpse, there was signs of interrogation. Next, Li Anping killed the other three ability users.

It is very likely that he heard something from the black man. This does not explain how he got so powerful within this short period of time though.”

“It might be related to his ability. This can only be known after we catch him.”

Huang Ling Jun thought about it and courageously said: “Sir Xia, Li Anping has such a strong thirst for revenge, he definitely has anti-society tendencies, to the country and government he has no sense of attachment, completely ignoring the law. He is an extremely unstable element to society, we should arrest him before he causes even greater damage, otherwise, he might become the next Damian Thana……”

“Hmm?”

Just a cold snort and expression suffocated Huang Ling Jun. The man known as Sir Xia, even without a word, he caused Huang Ling Jun to be suppressed completely, unable to say a word.

“You think he will destroy the planet? Utter nonsense, Shang An Guo colluded with ability users from other countries, he deserves death. Although Li Anping caused some problems, it is only because he is too young, angry at the world and distrustful of social norms, he lacks proper guidance.” Sir Xia looked at Huang Ling Jun, saying plainly: “This time, the pursuit of his down south, I alone am sufficient, you shall stay in Zhongdu to stabilize the situation.”

Huang Ling Jun wanted to say something, but with the other party’s imposing aura, pressing down on him like a mountain, he could not say anything to rebuke. He could feel that inside the other party, there was a volcano like amount of energy, waiting to burst out.

After struggling for a while, he managed to squeeze out: “……Yes sir.” After that he collapsed onto the chair in exhaustion, his body completely out of strength, when he raised his head, the man had already disappeared, the entire office only having Huang Ling Jun left.

‘This is a top tier ability user? One that rules above the government, that governs the fate of all the normal people. To think the secret service sent him.’ Huang Ling Jun gasped and tightly clenched his fist: ‘No, I cannot let you trample on the law, paying no heed to it. This Li Anping, I will bring him to justice.’

Next he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Although Huang Ling Jun also had ability, it was not to the level of confronting a military troop. He had always felt that ability users should only stay at his level. If they were too strong, it’d only cause harm to society. An overly strong individual can only cause unfairness to society, as he usurps all of the normal people’s benefits. It can even restrict the government’s governance, and the country’s development.

Thus, towards criminal ability users like Li Anping, he hated them greatly.

Especially when Li Anping caused unprecedented damage and destruction to the city, reinforcing Huang Ling Jun’s belief to arrest him, and to bring judgement upon Li Anping’s awakening.

Even if Great Xia Dragonix’s higher ups had decided to recruit him, he would still try to destroy it. Even if he cannot bring Li Anping to justice, he had to let him die.

‘Before he causes even greater destruction to Great Xia.’ Huang Ling Jun muttered.

In an office in Zhongdu City, Li Qian stared blankly at the corpse before her.

That was a fat man who weighed above 100kg. His entire body was covered in overlapping layers of paper. If one torn open the papers, they would see his purple face and lips.

Li Qian had no idea what to do, an hour ago he approached her at the office. In less than a few minutes, the other party has already touched her shoulders.

“Oh Little Li, how’s work recently? Busy?”

“Do you need me to take care of it for you?”

The other party’s hands moved from her shoulders, to her back, and eventually reached towards her tummy, leg, the more sensitive places. Li Qian was about to resist, but she could not match his strength and was suppressed by the fat man.

“Stop moving about, let me ask you, do you want to lose your job?”

“You’re shameless!”

‘Piak!’ Li Qian gave a slap across his face, leaving behind a red handprint.

“b.i.t.c.h, you’re asking for it.” Getting slapped, the fat man revealed his ferocious side as he pushed Li Qian onto the sofa.

Li Qian’s jacket was peeled off, she started to shriek, struggle, using both hands to pound on the man, but it had no effect. Li Qian’s strength was not enough to escape the 100kg man.

At this moment, Li Qian wished that the hero in her heart would appear again, to save her once again, but no matter how she struggled, a miracle did not happen.

The two scuffled on the sofa, but no one noticed that on the desks, stacks and layers of paper started floating up, gradually flying towards the fat man.

The fat man’s face was flushed red with excitement, as one of his hand grabbed Li Qian’s neck tightly. With the other hand, he unb.u.t.toned her shirt, revealing her busty chest, and under the bra’s compression, became even more round, 3D.

“AH!”

Next, Li Qian continued to shriek, and under anger and humiliation, she felt that something inside her had awakened, like turning on the switch of the lights.

In midair, the stacks of papers, as if they were summoned, all flew towards the fat man like a locust, covering him completely like a mummy.

The fat man’s eyes, ears nose, mouth were all covered by the newspapers. He could not see, nor breathe. Thus he began to struggle. He pushed the sofa away, breaking the gla.s.s behind him to smithereens. But in his panic, this action not only did not help him, but exhausted his already diminishing oxygen even further.

He fell on the ground, using his hands to grab at the newspapers. But every time he peeled off a layer, there would be more newspapers flying to cover it up, causing his brain to be wrapped more tightly.

Eventually, he found that there was no way he could get the newspapers off of him, and his movements gradually halted, and his breathing also ceased.

Only until the fat man has turned into an icy corpse did Li Qian regain her senses.

She hurried rushed up and peeled the newspapers off his face, only seeing a purple pig head. He was no longer breathing.

Li Qian sat on the ground blankly staring at the corpse. Her mind was confused, thoughts of murderer, jail, execution, caused her to fl.u.s.ter.

“Why……”

“Why did I get into such a situation……”

Finally, Li Qian cried. Tears fell from her face and landed on the carpet. The recently stress she felt, along with the pressure from work she had been suppressing for a long time, at this point when she accidently murdered the fat man, Li Qian could no longer hold it all in, she cried frantically, as if she wanted to vent all the unhappiness in her heart.

At this point, a man’s image appeared in her mind. He trampled upon the lives of mortals like a demon king, beating the rich and powerful, this greatly impacted her.

“Maybe… I can be like him.”

Outside the window, a man with no eyebrows or expression stood in midair, as if he was a ghost.

He looked at Li Qian and the fat man, seeing the newspapers fly towards the fat man and suffocated him, his struggles and death. He watched all the way until Li Qian cried profusely.

The second day, the TV Station’s higher up Zhu Dan was found to be dead in the office, his vacant position immediately inviting a round of vigorous compet.i.tion among the employees.

But no one noticed, that one the day Zhu Dan pa.s.sed away, the TV Station trainee reporter Li Qian also tendered her resignation, and on the second day she left Zhongdu City, stepping on a path that no common man could imagine.

From that day on, Li Qian’s colleagues never heard any more news about her. Only occasionally did something think of it, that many years ago at the TV station, there was such a beautiful, hardworking and serious girl.
