161: Acting alone, this little brother is so reckless!
Li Ziyu pushed through the crowd and walked forward. Some passersby saw him and kindly tried to dissuade him, but Li Ziyu did not stop and stepped directly over the yellow line.
At this moment, a gun-wielding Middle-aged Sheriff noticed Li Ziyu's actions, frowned, and was about to reprimand him.
Li Ziyu thought for a moment and raised the storage bracelet on his hand towards the Middle-aged Sheriff.
The mission details stated that the Public Security Bureau had requested support from above, which was why this mission was issued.
As someone who accepted the mission, he should be considered to be representing the authorities.
And this storage bracelet, which sends and receives missions, might just be proof of his identity.
"You are… sent by above?"
As expected, the Middle-aged Sheriff's steps paused when he saw the silver storage bracelet on Li Ziyu's right hand. The reprimand that was about to come out of his mouth was swallowed back, and he looked at Li Ziyu, asking hesitantly.
He had heard from the director that people from above would provide support, but Li Ziyu was too young, which made him hesitate.
"Yes."
Li Ziyu nodded.
It seemed his guess was correct; the storage bracelet should be the token.
It saved him a lot of trouble explaining.
"Hoh, so that organization really exists!?
"Good! Good! Little brother… uh… no! Leader, please follow me."
The Middle-aged Sheriff glanced at Li Ziyu, first showing a look of surprise, then quickly pulled open the yellow cordon, respectfully leading Li Ziyu towards the temporary command post.
As he walked, he couldn't help but frequently look back at Li Ziyu, muttering softly:
"I always heard that the authorities had a mysterious organization specifically responsible for handling Ancient Martial Practitioner matters. I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to actually exist."
"But the person who came is too young, isn't he? Can he really deal with the robbers inside?"
...
At the front of the armored vehicle, Director Hu Zhiming, the Director of the Demon Moon Public Security Bureau, was discussing countermeasures with several high-ranking Public Security Officers, his forehead covered in sweat:
"Old Wang, with our current forces, how confident are we in subduing the robbers inside?"
Director Hu Zhiming looked distraught, pacing back and forth.
Logically, those in power should not show their emotions, otherwise, their emotions would only affect their subordinates.
However, if it were an ordinary robbery, facing ordinary robbers, he would not be like this at all.
But he was very clear about the situation with today's robbers!
As an important city of Great Xia, he was able to become the Middle-aged Sheriff of Demon Moon, which meant he could access some secret events.
Especially the recently emerging Ancient Martial Practitioners.
He knew far more than ordinary people.
A Level 4 Advanced Ancient Martial Practitioner.
Ancient Martial Practitioners had just appeared, and there weren't many Level 4 Advanced Ancient Martial Practitioners in the entire Great Xia!
Director Hu Zhiming couldn't quite understand it. He thought, with such a powerful Ancient Martial Practitioner, how much money wouldn't he get by working for the country?
Why would he be so irrational as to rob a gold store???
"Difficult. You've seen the strength of Level 4 Advanced Ancient Martial Practitioners; their speed alone, with just their physical bodies, can easily dodge bullets."
"With our current strength, unless we disregard the consequences and directly bomb this building with heavy weapons, and then carpet bomb it, otherwise, relying solely on rifles and machine guns, we probably won't even hit the opponent!
Let alone kill the ferocious beast..."
Old Wang, who was in charge of military support for the special forces team next to Director Hu Zhiming, shook his head and sighed.
"Alas, I've already reported the situation here to the higher-ups. It seems we can only stabilize the robbers for now and wait for people from above to arrive."
Director Hu Zhiming looked worriedly at the gold store, sighing helplessly.
"Send a team to evacuate all the onlookers. If they refuse, forcibly remove them!"
"Sir, the people from above have arrived!"
Just as Director Hu Zhiming was making arrangements, the Middle-aged Sheriff who had guided Li Ziyu walked over with him.
Director Hu Zhiming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he eagerly looked at Li Ziyu, who was following behind the Middle-aged Sheriff.
However, when he clearly saw Li Ziyu's appearance, Director Hu Zhiming's expression froze, revealing a suspicious look:
"This… is this the person sent by above to resolve this matter? Are you sure there's no mistake?"
It wasn't that he was suspicious.
Mainly, Li Ziyu looked too young.
He looked exactly like a university student who was still in school.
Judging by his appearance, he was probably even younger than his son!
The robbers inside the gold store had a strength that even their Demon Moon Public Security Bureau was helpless against.
The other high-ranking Public Security Officers also looked at Li Ziyu with suspicious expressions.
If it weren't for the inexplicable authority they felt from Li Ziyu, they would have already told him to leave.
"Get a loudspeaker and inform the people inside that I want to go in and negotiate."
Li Ziyu ignored Director Hu Zhiming and the suspicious Public Security Officers beside him, simply inquired about the situation, and then directly ordered them.
His tone revealed no room for doubt.
Li Ziyu was now wearing a black combat uniform, and his demon moon battle blade had also been taken out of his storage bracelet and was strapped to his waist.
His 1.9-meter perfect proportion body, coupled with the faint aura of a top predator, just by his aura, made Director Hu Zhiming instinctively agree.
It also made Director Hu Zhiming and Old Wang beside him instinctively salute:
"Yes, Leader!"
Subsequently, after the Public Security Officer's loudspeaker announcement, Li Ziyu walked straight towards the entrance of the gold store.
The reason he had the Public Security Officer announce it first was not because he was afraid of harming hostages or anything.
After all, although the environment he was in looked realistic and no different from reality, Li Ziyu knew that these were all fake.
Li Ziyu did this because he was afraid that if he injured a hostage while completing the mission, it might lower his rating or cause other undesirable reactions.
Affecting the progress of his mission.
"Hey, hey, comrade, put on a bulletproof vest!"
Seeing Li Ziyu go forward alone like that, Director Hu Zhiming quickly stepped forward to remind him.
Seeing that Li Ziyu's back did not pause at all, Director Hu Zhiming stomped his foot in a hurry:
"Alas, this comrade is too reckless! There are three Level 4 Advanced Ancient Martial Practitioners inside!"
"Leader, since he's sent by above, he must have some skills. Perhaps he has some negotiation ability that we don't know about, and he's here to persuade the robbers inside to surrender."
At this moment, the high-ranking Public Security Officer next to him advised.
"Huh, you're right, it's really possible..."
"To be so young and dare to come alone, perhaps he really is here to persuade them to surrender."
"After all, he's so young, his strength can't be too strong."
