90: Chapter 90 This is not a drill, nor is it a counter-terrorism operation; it is a war to hunt down superhumans!

Just as Director An Lei was deep in thought, the police chief in charge of this jurisdiction came jogging over again, his expression somewhat anxious, as if something major had happened.

"Director An, this is bad, something else has happened!"

"Ten minutes ago, a murder occurred in a high-end residential complex not far from here!"

"The victim is the very judge who ruled against Fu Tianli a year ago!"

"According to the preliminary inspection of the crime scene by my subordinates, the modus operandi is exactly the same as here!"

"It really was Fu Tianli who did it!"

"Let's go, there's nothing left to see here!" Director An Lei's expression shifted dramatically; he flicked his trench coat and immediately pulled open the car door to get in.

Before driving away, the local police chief spoke up again: "Director An, my men haven't touched the crime scene at the high-end residential complex, so you can go search for clues at any time!"

"You can handle the second crime scene yourselves; we from the Super-Duty Bureau won't be going."

"You're not going?" The man was stunned and hesitated, asking, "Then what are you planning to do...?"

"We are going to the third crime scene!"

After Director An Lei finished speaking, he turned to the team member in the driver's seat and said decisively, "Drive, destination—Hongbo Building Materials Group building!" "Understood!"

Vroom. As the specially modified black SUV sped away, the man finally realized with a start, slapping his thigh in shock: "Is this guy Fu Tianli playing 'eeny, meeny, miny, moe'? Whoever he points to, he kills, is that it?"

"He simply doesn't take me seriously at all!"

"If this guy kills one more person, won't my career be completely finished?!"

"Someone, mobilize all spare police forces in the jurisdiction to the 'Hongbo Building'!"

"Oh right, notify the armed personnel and have them fully armed and rush there as soon as possible!" "Yes!"

Twenty minutes later. The Super-Duty Bureau team had just arrived in front of the Hongbo building when they suddenly heard a loud bang!

They turned around and their eyes widened, shocked by the scene not far away.

A bloody, mangled corpse!

A second ago, it had been ruthlessly thrown down from the top floor of the thirty-plus-story building!

"Did you see that? That's the person!"

"Go after him!"

A Transcendent has extremely strong 'auditory and visual perception'. As Director An Lei looked up, he saw that strange face slightly poking out from the window at the top of the building!

All the team members had seen photos of Fu Tianli. Although that strange face was wearing a mask, they recognized him through those eyes!

Without hesitation, the seven team members dispersed to various entrances and exits, taking six steps at a time, sprinting rapidly toward the upper floors of the building.

Director An Lei did not pursue immediately; he lightly touched his micro-earpiece and issued an order to the Super-Duty Bureau command center: "Personnel on the perimeter, seal off the entire building tightly. Without my order, don't let even a mosquito escape!"

"If you encounter dangerous resistance, I authorize you to skip warning shots and fire directly, and you may use rocket launchers!" "Director An, received!" "Understood!" "..."

Inside the micro-earpiece, the captains of the five elite perimeter squads of the Super-Duty Bureau responded one after another.

Immediately, the elite squads, dressed in special camouflage, rapidly disembarked from their infantry fighting vehicles.

Led by their respective captains, they sealed off all four sides of the Hongbo building. Their guns and artillery were already loaded, waiting only for the culprit to appear!

This grim and murderous scene caused the employees who were about to enter the building for work, as well as passersby, to stop in their tracks. Everyone was stunned, feeling as if they were dreaming!

This was not a drill, but the precursor to a real war!

No one would doubt that the dark muzzles of the guns and artillery were loaded with duds.

This was not just rare; it completely shattered the perceptions of everyone passing by.

In the past, firearms were prohibited within the Eastern territory. Police officers rarely carried guns while on duty, let alone having elite special forces drive infantry fighting vehicles and carry rocket launchers in the city!

"What on earth is happening inside the building? This scene is dozens of times more serious than counter-terrorism!"

"They clearly don't care at all how intense the public reaction will be!"

Someone standing at a corner of the street, watching this scene where even the air seemed to be stagnant, couldn't help but be repeatedly astonished.

"Old man, where are you from? Don't you know? The heavens themselves are about to change; who cares about public reaction anymore?"

"Oh, does a young man like you know something?"

"Of course. I have an online girlfriend, her home is in 'Guiqian Province'. According to her, the people there are bringing their whole families and fleeing to Xiangnan these past few days."

"Are they handing out gold bars in Xiangnan? Why run to Xiangnan?" The old man, with gray hair and wearing a tank top and big shorts, looked at the young man next to him, completely puzzled.

"Hehe, old man, I see you're a kind person, so I'll tell you secretly, but you can't tell anyone else."

"I'm already fifty or sixty years old; I won't go around blabbing. Just tell me."

"... Old man, I haven't had money to eat lately, so you see...?"

"Alright, you young punk, you were waiting for this, right? One hundred-yuan bill. Take it or leave it."

"Hehe, that's enough, that's enough..." The young man smiled smugly, skillfully tucked the red bill into his pocket, and then leaned into the old man's ear and whispered:

"Xiangnan is about to welcome the Spiritual Energy Revival. Anyone with a bit of status or strength is running to Xiangnan overnight."

"According to my online girlfriend, 'The roads and highways to Xiangnan are blocked by endless lines of vehicles. Many people are even using phone navigation to ride bicycles or e-bikes through remote backroads to get there'!"

"Spiritual Energy Revival? What is the Spiritual Energy Revival? Is this thing more tempting than gold, worth so many people rushing for it?" The old man leaned on his cane with one hand and rubbed his pale, balding head with the other, his expression full of confusion.

On the other side, a middle-aged man dressed as a white-collar worker couldn't watch anymore and spoke up to debunk it: "Isn't this just recent news from the internet? You young people love to scam the elderly."

"Having said that, the arrival of the Spiritual Energy Revival is the best of times for us ordinary people, but also the darkest of times."

"No one can say for sure about the future, but there is no doubt that various wars and bloody massacres will definitely become more and more frequent."

"Look, there are people recording videos over there, and the patrolling police officers don't seem to care at all." "This shows that the scene before us is just an appetizer the higher-ups are serving us ordinary people!"

"Although an old man like me doesn't understand what you're saying, I think no matter how dark it gets, could it be more tragic than the Great Famine years in the past when there wasn't even tree bark to chew on?"

"Young people, you must have the courage to face challenges; don't complain endlessly whenever you encounter a few difficulties."

"Look, I gave my entire pension of over twenty thousand from last month to my grandson, and I didn't spend a single cent. If that happened to you, wouldn't you be furious?"

The young man: "...??!!!" The middle-aged man: "...?!"

Fortunately, the old man left after speaking; otherwise, the young man's heart might not have been able to take it, and he might have swung his fists to hit someone. Seriously, the money I earned working 007 for half a year isn't even as high as your monthly pension?

The young man clutched his heart, feeling like he was about to turn evil. He stomped his feet in indignation, then turned and headed home with a determined look on his face to pack his luggage.

He was going to Xiangnan, to welcome the arrival of the great Spiritual Energy Revival era with the most passionate attitude! That's right, a few words from the old man turned the young man into a firm guardian of the 'Arrival Faction'!

... At this moment, all electricity in the building had been urgently cut off! The elevators stopped running, and all kinds of special metal doors automatically locked! Of course, the surveillance cameras on each floor used a separate power supply System, so naturally, they did not stop running.

When the seven team members sprinted to the twentieth floor, an urgent command suddenly came through the micro-earpiece from the command center staff:

"Retrieved surveillance footage shows that the Transcendent perpetrator can [Optically Cloak]! And is carrying dangerous controlled items! All [Super-Duty Agents] must be cautious and careful; report any anomalies immediately!"

"Warning, the perpetrator's figure has been spotted on the 26th floor!" "Agent No. 3, please pay attention to any abnormal light wave ripples around you!"
