73: Chapter 73 Killing! This is law enforcement, not torture.
"Boom!"
A dazzling flame erupted from the massive muzzle.
The tyrant's expression, filled with a desire to live and terror, froze instantly, and then it shattered like a watermelon smashed by a sledgehammer.
There was no final burst of strength before death, nor was there any plot twist where the villain died because of talking too much.
In the face of absolute caliber, this powerhouse, who had dominated in the Infinite World and unlocked the second-stage gene lock, died like a stray dog on the roadside.
Even that formidable Physical Body, capable of resisting small-caliber bullets, was torn to shreds by the kinetic energy at close range, with bits of flesh covering the expensive Persian rug.
Gu Changan lowered his muzzle expressionlessly.
The barrel was still emitting intense heat, with wisps of smoke rising from it.
He pulled a snowy white handkerchief from his pocket, elegantly wiped a drop of filthy blood that had splattered onto his cheek, and then tossed the handkerchief onto the pile of rotting flesh with disdain.
"That's better."
Gu Changan's tone was flat, as if he had just cleared away a trash can blocking the road.
"Not only illegal entry, but also attempted violent resistance to Law enforcement and bribery of public officials."
"Death penalty executed immediately, the procedure is compliant."
As the tyrant breathed his last, the red barrier that had shrouded the World Trade Center, blocking all signals and lines of sight, flickered twice like a hologram losing power before vanishing completely.
Sunlight spilled back into the devastated top-floor restaurant.
The dozens of hostages who had been cowering in the corner of the kitchen only dared to let out cries of relief after seeing the Special Police rush in.
Some even had weak legs and couldn't stand up at all, forced to support each other while weeping bitterly.
The scenes of battle they had just witnessed, which defied all logic, had completely shattered their worldview.
"Attention all units, the threat has been eliminated."
Gu Changan pressed his headset, his voice steady and powerful, "Notify the medical team to enter. The hostages are traumatized and need psychological intervention."
"Also, call for the street cleaning truck."
He glanced at the severed limbs covering the floor and frowned slightly, "This biohazardous waste on the ground must be incinerated to render it harmless; don't pollute the environment."
Outside the police cordon downstairs.
Although the previous live broadcast had been forcibly switched to a cartoon by Chen Xiaobei, countless onlookers and media personnel were still gathered around the building.
When they saw the eerie red circle disappear and the fully armed Special Police escorting the hostages out of the main entrance, thunderous applause erupted.
A few minutes later.
The official blue-background, white-text announcement quickly took over the top spots on all major trending lists:
"Yanjing Police Successfully Cracked a Major Terrorist Attack Case by an Overseas Organization"
"Five Thugs Carrying Heavy Illegal Weapons Killed on the Spot; Large Quantities of Controlled Knives and Unknown Biochemical Agents Seized at the Scene"
"No Civilian Casualties in This Operation, Only Some Property Damage"
The announcement was short; the fewer the words, the bigger the event.
It didn't mention any Reincarnators, gene locks, or the Main God Space.
In that cold, official phrasing, these guys who thought they were agents of the gods were nothing more than a bunch of mentally unstable terrorists.
This was the effect Gu Changan wanted.
As long as I don't acknowledge your setting, you will always be an unspeakable thug.
The wind in the top-floor restaurant was strong.
The Special Police were busy moving body bags and investigating the scene.
Gu Changan stood before the shattered floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the steel jungle below that had just returned to order.
Although he had won, he knew in his heart that this was just the beginning.
His gaze fell to his feet.
It was the tyrant's wrist. Although the body had been blasted to pieces, the black tactical watch on this severed hand remained intact, even still flashing an eerie red light.
Main God Watch.
A standard piece of equipment for a Reincarnator, and also their terminal for connecting to the Main God Space.
Gu Changan bent down and picked up the watch.
With a cold metallic touch, it had no time markings, only a crimson holographic projection interface displaying a line of unsettling small text:
[Mission Failed.]
[All vital signs of the Demon Squad have vanished.]
[High-intensity resistance detected, plane coordinates locked...]
[Countdown to subsequent invasion: 71:59:59...]
Gu Changan narrowed his eyes.
Coordinates locked?
Does this mean that after beating the small fry, the big fish are coming?
Three days later, a stronger team will descend?
"Main God..."
Gu Changan whispered the name, his fingers gradually applying pressure.
"Snap!"
The Main God Watch, touted as indestructible—even immune to high-explosive grenades—emitted a crisp sound in his hand, was crushed out of shape, its screen instantly went black, and a spark of electricity emerged.
"Since the coordinates are marked, then come."
Gu Changan casually tossed the scrap metal out the window, watching it fall into the abyss hundreds of meters below.
"This is a society ruled by Law with a population of 1.4 billion, not a playground for you to farm points at will."
"If one comes, I'll catch one; if two come, I'll catch a pair."
"If you dare to reach too far..."
Gu Changan adjusted his tie, his gaze icy, "I'll crawl through the internet cable, smash that big ball of light of yours, and use it as a streetlamp."
Just then.
The System notification sound in his mind, which had been silent all this time, suddenly became impassioned.
[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully resisted the first wave of malicious invasion from a high-dimensional space!]
[This was a dimensional reduction strike at the civilizational level, but the host, with a Mortal body, used the most basic physical Law to forcefully push it back!]
[Battle settlement rating: S Rank (Perfect)!]
[System rewards have been distributed:]
[1. Plane Firewall Prototype: An Elementary Law barrier that can cover the entire country, effectively identifying and suppressing the strength of all unregistered Transmigration travelers and Reincarnators, forcibly weakening the strength of any illegal intruders by 30%.]
[2. S Rank Otherworldly Technology Analysis Card x1: Can be used to designate one high-dimensional technological item for analysis and convert it into blueprints that the country's existing industrial System can manufacture.]
Gu Changan raised an eyebrow.
These rewards came at just the right time.
With this firewall, in the future, those monsters and demons who try to smuggle themselves in through spatial teleportation will be dealt a blow before they even land.
As for the technology analysis card...
He looked back at the high-frequency vibration particle blade dropped by the tyrant, which technicians were carefully recovering not far away.
If this thing could be equipped for the entire army, the demolition team's work efficiency would increase at least tenfold in the future.
Meanwhile.
In the cracks of the distant multiverse.
Inside a pure white space that cannot be described in words, a huge ball of light floated.
It was light, it was will, and it was the nightmare of countless Reincarnators—the Main God.
At this moment.
The previously motionless ball of light suddenly flickered violently, causing terrifying wrinkles to appear in the surrounding space.
Anger.
A wave of emotion similar to anger spread through this absolutely rational main brain.
Although the Demon Squad was not the strongest, they were a team of veterans; how could they be wiped out in a plane rated as "Low-Martial Arts Technological Side"?
And according to the final data transmitted back, the opponent didn't even use nuclear weapons, completing the slaughter with just conventional light weapons?
This is unscientific.
And even less magical.
That native named Gu Changan actually dared to crush its terminal, openly challenging its authority.
Countless data streams flowed across the surface of the huge ball of light.
[Re-evaluating target plane... Threat level upgraded.]
[Success rate of violent invasion plan dropped to 40%...]
[Switching strategies... Initiating infiltration plan.]
[Searching...]
[Target person: Gu Changan.]
[Character profile: Absolutely rational, nation-first, highly resistant to violence and force, and possesses unknown rule-based detection methods.]
[Weakness analysis: Although he appears indifferent to women, that is only toward ordinary, superficial ones. According to the analysis of the human male gene map, there is no absolute immunity, only insufficiently Advanced temptations.]
The light of the ball of light gradually turned into an ambiguous pink.
[Execution codename: Alluring.]
[Deployment unit: Abyss Succubus Queen · Human form limited edition.]
[Mission objective: No need for killing, no need for destruction. Just lurk by his side, break through his psychological defenses, make him fall, make him betray, and dismantle that ridiculous state apparatus from the inside.]
[Teleportation starting]
