After saying this, Qian Fan left.
Chen Yifei stood there, unconsciously recalling Wu Youdong's bowed head and slightly clenched fists in his mind...
Wu Youdong had bowed his head,
But what about him?
If it were in his previous life, Chen Yifei might not be much different from Wu Youdong. Only by bowing his head could he find a way to survive in society, but this time...
Chen Yifei slowly turned his head and looked at the surviving half of Bingquan Street with a cold and piercing gaze.
Want me to bow my head?
Huh...
...
District Three.
Basement.
A frigid wind suddenly swirled up from nothingness and howled against Chu Muyun!
The kerosene lamp on the ground shook violently and went out instantly, plunging the entire basement into dead silence and darkness. Chu Muyun grunted and fell heavily to the ground!
He lifted his head in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief!
Just now, when he activated the [Eye of Traceability], he seemed to see pairs of bright red eyes glancing at him from the nothingness far away...
Just that glance made his divine path tremble!
"What, what is this..."
Chu Muyun stood there for a long time before snapping back to reality.
He immediately climbed up from the ground and rushed up the steps, returning to the convenience store!
"What's wrong, [Spade 7]?" Seeing Chu Muyun appear so hastily and anxiously, the woman frowned slightly.
"...I saw it."
"What?"
"'The Apocalypse'."
The woman was taken aback and didn't understand what it meant for a moment.
"That guy is a disaster of 'The Apocalypse'!" Chu Muyun spoke firmly.
"That's impossible." The woman shook her head immediately. "No one can fuse with 'The Apocalypse', not even the leader of the current Fusion Sect... You must have seen it wrong."
"I definitely didn't see it wrong! Its gaze even made my divine path feel fear!"
"This..."
"We must inform the Scarlet Flame Monarch and the Shadow King immediately."
Chu Muyun walked to the counter, took out paper and pen, and started writing quickly.
"If this is true... then there might be a big mess." The woman immediately realized the severity of the situation. "Even if the Scarlet Flame Monarch and the Shadow King come together, we might not be able to deal with him unless the Aurora Monarch joins us..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Muyun paused his fingertips.
"What's wrong?" The woman asked.
"'The Apocalypse'-level disaster possesses the power to annihilate a human realm. If we kill him and unleash 'The Apocalypse'... do we not have to execute that plan anymore?" Chu Muyun slowly turned his head to look at her, with madness flickering in his eyes.
The woman was stunned.
"That's an 'The Apocalypse'! Are you crazy?!" The woman said halfway and shook her head herself. "I almost forgot that you formal members are all crazy..."
"I just said it offhand," Chu Muyun pushed up his glasses, his mood calmed down, and he spoke calmly, "Let's consult the Shadow King and the Scarlet Flame Monarch first..."
After Chu Muyun finished writing the letter, he handed it to the woman. She looked at him and said,
"By the way, aren't you going to conduct an assessment on him? Are you still going to do it?"
"...Yes."
"As his referrer, what is your rating for him?"
"S+," Chu Muyun's expression was unprecedentedly serious,
"Extremely dangerous."
...
Knock-knock-knock-
A clear knocking sound came, and the many law enforcement officers from District Two who were leisurely drinking tea were startled and turned to look suspiciously.
"Who would come at this time?"
"I don't know..."
Qian Fan said this as he opened the door of the teahouse.
Chen Yifei was standing quietly outside the door. Seeing the door open, he smiled and waved to the several law enforcement officers inside the room.
These were the law enforcement officers from District Two who were originally responsible for Bingquan Street, but now they were all here drinking tea and had left everything to Chen Yifei and Wu Youdong. This itself indicated some problems... Now it seems that what Wu Youdong said was true.
These law enforcement officers were all colluding with those people from Bingquan Street. Instead of searching now, they only sent two newcomers, purely for the sake of appearance.
In this way, if the headquarters of the Aurora City asked about it later, they could say that they were short of manpower and that everything on Bingquan Street was handled by Chen Yifei and Wu Youdong, thereby shifting the blame and maintaining a good relationship with Bingquan Street. It was definitely a win-win situation.
Seeing that it was Chen Yifei, the law enforcement officers immediately lost interest and lowered their heads to drink tea, with no intention of chatting with him.
"It's you? Why did you come?" Qian Fan saw Chen Yifei and asked in surprise.
"There are still some things about my work that I need to seek clarification from you, sirs."
"What is it?"
"My task is to ask the survivors of Bingquan Street for information about the disaster, right?"
"Yes."
"What if they don't cooperate?"
Hearing this question, Qian Fan sneered internally but still patiently answered on the surface,
"If they don't cooperate, you just find a way to make them cooperate... We are law enforcement officers with law enforcement powers."
"So, can I use force?"
"Of course."
Chen Yifei heard the other law enforcement officers in the room couldn't help but laugh.
"I understand," Chen Yifei nodded. "If they don't cooperate, I'll drag them over here for you, sirs, to deal with."
"Good to know. Go ahead. Your assessment will end tomorrow, so you must complete the task today."
As Chen Yifei left, Qian Fan closed the door behind him, followed by several unmasked laughs.
"This kid is really stubborn..."
"Even more so than Wu Youdong."
"Did you hear him? He's going to use force... Doesn't he know what kind of place Bingquan Street is?"
"He comes from a poor place, how could he have so many information channels? Don't laugh at him... Let's drink tea."
The faint laughter penetrated through the door gap and fell into Chen Yifei's ears, but he didn't care at all.
At this moment, his attention was on the prompt that flashed in front of him:
[Audience Expectation +1... +1... +1]
"Article 13 of 'Chen's Directing Principles':"
"When there is a clear contradiction, you can appropriately add emotional climax through character relationships, pulling the audience's emotions, enhancing the satisfaction when the original contradiction explodes, and even setting up posterior contradiction climax."
Chen Yifei could certainly go directly to Bingquan Street and make a scene, but in this way, the contradiction would be relatively simple, and the [Audience Expectation] would not increase much...
So, he chose to involve the law enforcement officers.
Chen Yifei walked through the ruined first half of Bingquan Street and arrived at the place with the most survivors currently... the Black Axe Tavern.
This place was where the residents of Bingquan Street usually went for activities. Now that half of the street had become ruins, it had become a temporary shelter for some people. It was here that Wu Youdong was insulted yesterday.
But Chen Yifei was not him...
He held a survey form in one hand and pushed open the tavern door with the other. As the grating sound of squeaking echoed, the entire tavern fell into a deathly silence.
Countless pairs of fierce and cold eyes swept to the door and converged on Chen Yifei,
"Hello, I'm law enforcement officer Chen Yifei..."
"Are you ready to answer my questions?"
