"Susan, why activate the emergency plan? Is there anything in Binjiang that you can't handle?" Minister Yu asked doubtfully through the video.
Susan swirled her wine glass, the ice cubes clinking against the glass with a crisp sound. She said impatiently, "I said activate it, so activate it. Are you going to give me emergency handling authority or not!"
Seeing Susan getting angry, Minister Yu immediately said obsequiously, "Yes, yes, I was just asking. The authority for emergency plan handling is no small matter."
"It's nothing. A foreign ability user organization called 'Crocodile Gang' has illegally entered Binjiang and needs to be dealt with," Susan replied.
"Ah? Impossible! With you here, how could they possibly enter Binjiang?" Minister Yu was stunned. What a joke. Susan was in charge of Binjiang, how could she let a foreign ability user organization enter?
*Bang!*
Susan slammed her wine glass onto the table and looked up at Minister Yu on the big screen, saying angrily, "Are you annoying or not? Are you going to give me emergency handling authority or not? If you don't, I'll ask my mother!"
"No! No! I'll give it to you! I agree. You handle it first, and then submit the application procedures later," Minister Yu said, his face creased into a smile.
Susan rolled her eyes, picked up her wine glass, drank it all, and then waved her hand, saying, "Alright, that's all."
"That... Shanshan, can you come home for Chinese New Year this year..."
Susan ended the video call, walked out of the office, placed the glass on the bar, and clapped her hands.
The four people in the room all looked over.
Susan took a deep breath and began to instruct, "Bai Fei, you and Xiao Xue go to Zhaoye Building. Cooperate with the police and traffic police to set up a blockade, clear the area within 500 meters around Zhaoye Building, and evacuate all personnel."
"Sister Jiang, you can mobilize traffic control across the city to monitor the Crocodile Gang. I've communicated with the Binjiang police, and they will let them pass to ensure they enter Zhaoye Building and make contact with Feng Hui and the others."
"Min Liang, send the 3D model of Zhaoye Building to He Li. Activate full spiritual power detection and ability detection."
"Alright! Go to work, everyone. Remember, this is an emergency plan handling. Afterward, you'll need to sign confidentiality agreements."
"Received!"
"Received!"
...
Bai Fei and Tao Xue left in a hurry. They needed to reach their designated positions before He Li arrived at Zhaoye Building, to clear a battlefield for He Li.
Sister Jiang directly activated sixteen large screens, and in moments, densely packed small square surveillance videos filled all sixteen screens.
While Min Liang was creating the 3D model of Zhaoye Building, he equipped He Li's communicator with two programs: spiritual power detection and ability detection.
Susan picked up the wine bottle again, intending to pour herself more wine, but after a moment's thought, she tilted her head, poured the ice cubes in her glass into her mouth, and then took two large gulps of wine from the bottle. Finally, she crunched on the ice cubes.
Ordinary people's affairs, the Spiritual Management Bureau cannot interfere with.
But when it involves spiritual warriors and ability users, then we must interfere.
As everyone knows, our department is called: the Spiritual Warrior and Ability User Management Affairs Bureau.
Susan smiled, put down the glass, and walked directly towards the floor-to-ceiling window. Her footsteps did not stop. The floor-to-ceiling window rippled like a water curtain, and Susan passed directly through it, standing in mid-air. Then, she disappeared from the spot.
Meanwhile,
The off-road vehicle, like a steel behemoth, roared down the road.
Inside the car, Xiao Yue looked at He Li with amusement and asked, "Can I know what you're thinking right now?"
He Li glanced at Xiao Yue and snorted, "You know what I'm thinking, why are you asking?"
"I just think it would be more interesting if you said it yourself."
"I don't think it's interesting at all."
He Li retorted to Xiao Yue without mercy, but Xiao Yue didn't care.
He Li asked, "How are illegal immigrants generally handled?"
Xiao Yue replied, "Repatriation."
He Li nodded and then asked, "What about illegal immigrant ability user organizations?"
Xiao Yue directly retorted, "If an armed organization with guns and rocket launchers illegally enters your home and acts arrogantly, how would you handle it?"
He Li nodded, and then stepped on the accelerator to the floor.
...
Zhaoye Building, reception room.
"Haha... Mr. Manbol, you've finally arrived. I thought it would take you some effort to get here."
Feng Hui looked at the Crocodile Gang personnel filling the conference room, holding firearms, and laughed heartily.
Their arrival made him feel very secure. After all, he had paid for it. Perhaps, for him, things that could be bought with money were the most tangible.
The tall black man wearing a beret looked at the three men in suits in front of him with disdain in his heart. However, because they had money, this disdain could turn into affection.
Manbol spoke in broken Chinese, "Please rest assured, Mr. Feng Hui, I will complete your commission as quickly as possible. It wasn't much trouble. In fact, your country's defense network is unimaginably fragile. I walked in here with weapons."
"It's fortunate that it's like this, otherwise, we wouldn't have this opportunity to cooperate."
After Manbol finished speaking, he looked back at his team members. He was very proud and also disdained the country's defense measures.
If he knew that Susan had given him a green light all the way, waiting for them to enter and make contact with Feng Hui and the other two to create a legitimate reason for killing, he would probably wish he could die.
He couldn't understand why Susan had sacrificed ten minutes of drinking time to arrange the best and fastest route to Binjiang for them.
Both the Crocodile Gang members and Feng Hui and his group should be grateful for Susan's painstaking efforts.
"Brothers, let's look at this mission."
Manbol threw the documents on the table to the people behind him, and then said to Feng Hui, "Mr. Feng Hui, my team members are all spiritual warriors and ability users. They will be deployed throughout this building. No matter where that demon appears, my men will kill that little demon immediately."
"We will stay here with the three of you. If that demon doesn't appear, I will find it and eliminate it."
Feng Hui looked back at Zhang Bailin and Lu Xiangnan and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Across the road from Zhaoye Building, on an empty street, an off-road vehicle slowly stopped.
He Li checked the shotgun and bullets, then pulled down his glasses. The 3D model of Zhaoye Building appeared before his eyes.
Looking at the ten-odd red dots in the entire 27-story building, He Li clicked his tongue and smiled, "Quite a few people have come."
Then,
He said to Xiao Yue, "Captain told me not to kill people, and Brother Fei said killing becomes addictive."
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't it said that killing with abilities becomes addictive?"
He Li grinned, opened the door, and got out of the car, walking into Zhaoye Building.
"The Crocodile Gang members are all on the 22nd floor and above. Should we go directly to the 22nd floor?" He Li asked.
Xiao Yue shrugged and said, "I don't recommend you waste your energy climbing stairs."
"Xiao Yue, talking to you is really enjoyable."
"Thank you, talking to you is also very enjoyable for me."
"Because I'm very stupid?"
"Yes."
"Thank you for your honesty."
"You're welcome."
*Ding!*
The elevator door opened.
*Bang! Bang!*
He Li shot the black man guarding the elevator entrance in the chest with one shot and his head with another.
Then,
He Li stepped out of the elevator, calmly stepped over the black man's corpse, reloaded two bullets into the shotgun, and walked to the stairwell.
The 3D model in his glasses showed someone ambushing him at the entrance.
*Bang! Bang!*
The 22nd floor was cleared.
Reload, get in the elevator.
"That's right, killing with abilities becomes addictive, but I can use spiritual power. However, spiritual power bullets won't shatter spiritual warriors like demons do. I suspect their spiritual power will cancel out some of my spiritual power."
Xiao Yue stood beside him and said, "You have 27 bullets left."
*Ding!*
23rd floor.
He Li took a step sideways, standing on one side of the elevator. Two fireballs blasted in through the opening elevator door.
*Boom!*
The elevator roared and trembled.
He Li directly darted out, his gun barrel hitting the head of a short, dark-skinned man.
"Sorry, you ran into my gun."
*Bang!*
Immediately after,
He Li rolled to the left, dodging the axe that was swung down fiercely, and shot the man who swung the axe in the left leg. The man's left leg instantly shattered, and he lost his balance, falling forward.
He Li raised his gun upwards, aiming directly at the man's head.
*Bang!*
"See, the power when hitting ability users is much greater than when hitting spiritual warriors. Of course, it's not ruled out that ability users don't have high physical strength, but the most important thing is the cancellation of spiritual power."
At this moment, even Xiao Yue was stunned. He asked, "Are you thinking about these things while killing people?"
"Yes, this is rare combat experience, and it will be useful in the future," He Li said as he reloaded his gun, walked back to the elevator, and pressed the button for the 24th floor.
"I mean, this is your first time killing someone. Don't you feel anything bad? Like nausea or something?" Xiao Yue asked disbelievingly.
He Li nodded and thought for a moment, saying, "Yes, I feel nauseous, want to vomit, and my legs are a bit weak, but it's okay. I believe I can overcome it. After all, everyone has a first time."
"The nervousness, fear, and retreat of the first time are all normal."
"Are you sure you're describing your first time killing someone?"
"More or less. In fact, I've been talking to you to alleviate my fear and nervousness."
Xiao Yue was speechless. This guy was pure lunacy.
On the 27th floor, the top floor, in the reception room, Manbol's face was grim. He looked at the signals disappearing one by one on the monitor and glared at Feng Hui fiercely.
"Mr. Feng Hui, I don't think demons use shotguns to kill people."
"This..."
Feng Hui looked at Manbol in panic, then at Lu Xiangnan and Zhang Bailin sitting on either side of him.
"Hmph! Mr. Feng Hui, you will bear the losses this time. If the price is not satisfactory, I will personally deliver you to that demon!"
After speaking, Manbol stood up, looked at the five strong men behind him, tilted his head, and left the reception room with them.
Only the three panicked men were left, trembling.
*Click... click....*
"Not good news, you're out of bullets," Xiao Yue said with a chuckle.
He Li put the shotgun back on his back. At the same time, the elevator door on the 27th floor opened.
Six strong men walked out of the reception room at the end of the corridor, walking towards him menacingly.
He Li stepped out of the elevator, calmly lit a cigarette, and the six men charged at him.
"Four spiritual warriors, two ability users. The leader is the boss of the Crocodile Gang, Manbol, a level four spiritual warrior," Min Liang said urgently through the headset.
After listening, He Li took off his headset and put it in his pocket.
At the same time,
The four spiritual warriors, led by Manbol, were engulfed in green spiritual power. Their military knives stabbed directly at He Li. The two ability users behind him, one of fire and one of lightning, simultaneously unleashed lightning and fire attacks.
He Li, unconcerned, ignored the four military knives stabbing towards him in the air, nor the flames and lightning snakes blasting towards him along the floor.
*Snap.*
Xiao Yue snapped his fingers.
Then,
Space froze.
Manbol's military knife, still wrapped in green spiritual power, was less than a meter away from He Li's forehead.
"Phew..."
He Li exhaled a puff of smoke, slowly raised his right hand, and a silver-white handgun suddenly appeared in his hand. The muzzle was placed against Manbol's forehead.
Looking at Manbol's terrified and trembling eyes, his pupils gradually contracting.
"Bringing a gun to my house to act tough? Of course, I have to kill you!"
...
