55: Why is it you again?
"What... what just happened?"
"They're fighting!"
"This woman is quite slender, how could she be so foolish as to join the Apocalypse Cult! She could have made a killing as a streamer!"
"So fast, wasn't it? That man is so quick!"
"Hiss~~~ I was just about to call the police, and he's already captured her?"
"I think I've heard that young man's name before; isn't he the Champion of the Martial Arts? How did he Break through to become a Martial Artist?"
...
After Bai Luo was almost completely crushed and beaten by Shen Bei.
The entire process took only a few breaths.
The passengers waiting for the bus to refuel were all shocked, their eyes wide, and their scalps tingling.
Especially after Bai Luo confessed her identity as a member of the Apocalypse Cult.
The onlookers were all deeply horrified and worried for Shen Bei.
Who exactly are the people of the Apocalypse Cult?
They are a concentrated camp of lunatics!
The world's largest distribution center for mental hospitals!
A group of people who preach "fairness and justice" with their mouths.
But in reality, they are relentless, murderous sticky candy!
It could be said that if you provoke one, you can forget about living a peaceful life.
There are only two ways to resolve it: one is to join the Apocalypse Cult, and the other is...
Like Shen Bei, take them on one by one!
For a Martial Artist, there's still the confidence to do so.
But for ordinary people, there's no choice; if you don't want to be harassed by a swarm of flies, you can only join.
Otherwise, even after you die, these madmen will dig up your grave, pry open your coffin, and ask if you're willing to join the Tianqi Divine Sect.
...
"Shen Bei!"
At this moment, Jian Tong awoke from her daze.
She had been completely bewildered the entire time.
From the moment Bai Luo appeared, launched a swift sneak attack, and kicked Shen Bei flying.
Jian Tong knew that Bai Luo must be a Martial Artist!
But she never expected that Shen Bei had also advanced to a Martial Artist during this holiday period!
A self-Breakthrough!
He advanced to a First-Rank Martial Artist without a teacher or Martial Artist supervising him!
This was too thrilling, wasn't it?
It was simply an unbelievable miracle.
Shen Bei's performance during this time had truly been varied and rapidly progressive.
A self-reliant young man.
Loved him, loved him.
Jian Tong ran a few steps to Shen Bei's side, her eyes filled with shock and confusion, scrutinizing Shen Bei up and down: "You, you, are you alright?"
Shen Bei revealed his pearly white teeth, an arrogant smile appearing on his face:
"Boring. I just started warming up, and this guy already gave up. Sigh, I really don't understand what Gu Changfeng is good for, wasting national rations."
Jian Tong: "..."
If Teacher Professor Gu Xinrou heard those words... you'd definitely get your ears twisted.
Then.
Jian Tong began to call the police.
The police would certainly have to handle the aftermath; the two still needed to go to the Martial Arts University to complete their enrollment procedures, and there were a lot of things to do.
They couldn't just carry an Apocalypse Cult member around the streets, could they?
It would look strange, not to mention affecting the city's appearance and disturbing their Small World.
And Shen Bei was much more practical.
He immediately started searching her.
Bai Luo struggled, appearing extremely resistant.
Shen Bei didn't tolerate her behavior, delivering a hard slap: "Be honest with me! You're a defeated opponent!"
Bai Luo stared at Shen Bei with an extremely hateful, man-eating gaze, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth: "Can, can we... discuss this?"
Shen Bei ignored her completely.
He continued to rummage through her pockets.
Bai Luo whispered: "As long as you let me go, I can compensate you with a Martial Skill."
"Wishful thinking."
Shen Bei only gave her four words.
At the same time, several Medicinal Pills fell out of Bai Luo's pocket, and Shen Bei licked his lips. These were the spoils of war.
He collected them!
After another thorough search.
Shen Bei only found a folded A4 paper on Bai Luo's person.
"Hmm?"
Shen Bei looked puzzled: "Where's the Martial Skill? Just one piece of paper?"
Bai Luo's eyes flickered, groaning in pain, she forced herself to speak: "The Martial Skill is naturally not on me, but I can tell you the buried location, on the condition that you return this paper to me and let me go."
Shen Bei tilted his head, scoffing: "Don't play tricks now. I'm afraid if I go to the location you indicate, a hundred or so burly men will be waiting for me, right? It would just be walking into a trap, wouldn't it?"
Bai Luo bit her lip tightly, saying nothing.
Shen Bei opened the A4 paper and scanned it.
It was covered in dense numbers.
With a few "code names" mixed in.
Without even thinking, this was clearly a cipher.
Shen Bei had no ability to decipher it, so he could only hand it over to the police station.
Soon.
Jian Tong made the emergency call, explaining the situation.
The Lingnan City police station responded incredibly quickly.
Before long.
Several police cars drove up and stopped at the highway service area.
The first one to get out was Gu Changfeng.
After Gu Changfeng learned that someone had captured a member of the Tianqi Divine Sect, and it was the one who had slipped through their net last time.
Gu Changfeng was so excited he was jumping up and down.
There were truly too many enthusiastic citizens!
You know, some Martial Artists eliminate enemies as a side task.
They don't seek fame or fortune, unlike Shen Bei, who seems to be so obsessed with money he can't get out of it?
The person who called the police this time was a female comrade, undoubtedly, she had absolutely no relation to Shen Bei.
Another meritorious deed in hand!
He was in high spirits.
He was dashing and heroic.
He was radiant.
His heart was content.
He got out of the car...
Just one glance at the scene.
That familiar back made Gu Changfeng's mouth twitch, and his desire to claim credit instantly vanished.
At the same time, his eyes flickered intensely, and confusion churned within him.
Shen Bei?
Damn his grandpa!
Why was it him again?
Moreover, from the looks of it, it seemed that Shen Bei had captured the Apocalypse Cult member.
"Wait––"
Gu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself: "According to the intelligence, isn't this woman a First-Rank Martial Artist? Is Shen Bei playing dirty again, using some kind of hypnotic drug?"
But the most reliable answer rose in his mind.
That was... Shen Bei had Broken through to a Martial Artist!
Gu Changfeng swallowed, half a month ago, Shen Bei was still a quasi-Martial Artist, refining his Qi and bones.
Now he had undergone a magnificent transformation and become a Martial Artist?
Gu Changfeng felt depressed.
He recalled the time it took him to go from a quasi-Martial Artist to a Martial Artist, a full five months...
Damn it, comparing oneself to others is infuriating!
He secretly spat, and Gu Changfeng rolled his eyes.
He turned to leave.
"Hey, hey? Captain Gu!"
Shen Bei, however, was extremely enthusiastic, grabbing him and excitedly saying: "What a coincidence! So it's you responding to the call."
Gu Changfeng's face immediately turned incredibly grim, and he said through gritted teeth: "How come you're everywhere!"
"Is there a problem with that?"
"You're doing all the work that shouldn't be yours. If you keep this up, the director will think we police are useless."
"Is there a problem with that?"
Gu Changfeng: "..."
Damn it, I can't talk to him, I really can't!
Gu Changfeng coughed, then called to the other police officers: "Take the Apocalypse Cult member into custody. Oh, and check her personal belongings and collect them."
The other police officers shrugged, immediately replying: "There's nothing left."
Gu Changfeng turned to Shen Bei, extending his hand: "Anything on a criminal is evidence, you know that, right?"
Shen Bei nodded, very cooperatively handing over the A4 paper.
"And what else?"
Gu Changfeng stared, continuing to demand.
Shen Bei looked innocent: "What?"
"Medicinal Pills, Martial Skills, Cultivation Techniques, and so on."
"None."
"Impossible!"
"In fact, she's just that poor. If you don't believe me, ask Jian Tong, wasn't it just one piece of paper?"
Gu Changfeng looked at Jian Tong, this beautiful young girl, slender and pretty, with some of the charm of his sister Professor Gu Xinrou.
Jian Tong let out an "Ah," and obediently said: "It's true, just one piece of paper. If I hadn't stopped him, Shen Bei would have even used it in the restroom."
Gu Changfeng: "..."
Gu Changfeng felt depressed.
It sounded like a lie.
How could this Shen Bei be like a locust? How many times has it been? He doesn't leave any scraps, always making you clean up his mess, isn't it annoying!
Gu Changfeng waved his hand: "Never mind."
Then, Gu Changfeng opened the A4 paper and began to read it.
Shen Bei leaned closer, curiously asking: "What's written on it?"
Gu Changfeng's expression suddenly became solemn!
