Watching Lu Bai disappear into the shadow of the alley.
Only then did the two junior high school students panic and crawl up from the ground, glancing at each other.
The bad friend scratched the back of his head, his tone somewhat hesitant: “By the way, don’t you feel like that guy looked a bit familiar?”
“Yeah, kinda.”
The junior high school student racked his brains to recall, then his eyes suddenly lit up: “Isn’t he that Special Affairs Bureau team leader mentioned online? What was his name again?”
With this reminder, the bad friend quickly pulled out his mobile phone to search online and soon confirmed it.
“Yes, yes, that’s him. His name is Lu Bai.”
The junior high school student’s expression visibly became excited.
“So, shouldn’t we call the police?”
The bad friend shrank his neck and beckoned to the junior high school student: “Let’s follow him and see. They say online that guy’s a perverted murderer. Why are we fine? Anyway, I think there’s definitely a hidden reason here.”
“What hidden reason? You’ve seen how he kills. We were lucky to survive. Don’t go courting death again.”
Although the junior high school student said it was courting death, his body honestly followed the bad friend’s footsteps.
……
The lights were brightly lit below the duplex apartment building, with the open space packed full of police cars and armored vehicles.
This stretch of street had been completely blocked off by the police at both ends, with crowds of pedestrians and vehicles jammed along the way.
At each entrance to the alley, police officers and special service personnel could be seen maintaining order.
Some even directly used vehicle loudspeakers to evacuate the crowd.
“Please everyone, don’t crowd. Evacuate in an orderly manner!”
“Damn it! Why hasn’t the traffic police team arrived yet? Xiao Li, you go direct traffic.”
“Cars in front, speed up!”
Various shouts and siren sounds mixed together, making the scene noisy and somewhat irritating.
A black compact sedan was parked next to a police car.
The mayor’s secretary in the driver’s seat gazed at the alley entrance illuminated by red and blue lights, saying expressionlessly: “If you want to enter, I can find a way to get you a pass.”
“No rush.”
The bespectacled refined man replied, then asked: “Your kindred should have already gone in to search for Lu Bai, right?”
Though it was clearly a question, his tone sounded quite certain.
The mayor’s secretary chose silence, because it knew this human was very perceptive.
If not for the mayor’s agreement to cooperate with this human, in its view, it would be best to eliminate such a dangerous human as soon as possible.
Not far from this black sedan.
Pu Guangrong wearing a standard walkie-talkie and earpiece stood inside the yellow tape: “Confirm Lu Bai is in this alley, right?”
“Yes, quite a few witnesses saw him flee inside.”
“Interesting. I remember the initial report was about a parasitic organism committing violence at that food stall, right?”
This alley was in the urban area, with roads crisscrossing inside.
Moreover, there were quite a few branching paths. If not a local, it was easy to get lost inside.
Although in the city’s planning, it had long been decided to demolish and rebuild this urban area.
But due to various factors, the construction time was still far off.
Watching teams of police officers and special service personnel enter the alley entrance.
Pu Guangrong lit a cigarette, and under the effect of nicotine, his furrowed brow relaxed slightly.
Capturing a suspect in such an environment, he knew exactly how troublesome it was, let alone capturing a ruthless, powerful perverted murderer.
……
Police, parasitic organisms, and death fighters were all taking action centered around Lu Bai.
After all, time was short, and the police hadn’t had time to shrink the blockade scope.
They could only search house by house, and how slow the progress was goes without saying.
The parasitic organisms weren’t much better off.
Lu Bai wasn’t their kindred, so they couldn’t sense him remotely.
They could only disguise themselves as residents of this urban area, searching secretly in the alleys.
And the only death fighters who knew Lu Bai’s position had a hard time threatening him one-on-one.
This left Lu Bai targeted from multiple sides but not in dire straits at all; instead, he was quite leisurely.
If overlooking the entire urban area under the night sky from above, one would see everyone very busy, yet not knowing what they were busy with.
Inside the alley, at a convenience store, two death fighters were facing off.
The surrounding shelves were toppled haphazardly, with various goods scattered on the floor.
They had chosen this place to ambush Lu Bai, only to not expect that not only themselves, but other death fighters had the same idea.
As a result, these two death fighters started fighting each other before even seeing Lu Bai.
“Underestimated you.”
The crew-cut high school student rubbed his arm and proactively showed goodwill: “If we keep fighting, it’ll just be mutual destruction. How about we stop first?”
The death fighter opposite him, dressed like a repairman, had a very tough tone: “I don’t think it’ll end in mutual destruction.”
The crew-cut high school student sighed: “Do you want to check first where that smiling face is?”
The repairman’s tone faltered, and he subtly glanced at the system panel.
He was shocked to find that the light spot representing the “node” was now less than thirty meters away in a straight line.
Death fighters were relatively rational and wouldn’t engage in such quarrels of pride.
The repairman acted as if he had never said those tough words, asking concisely: “Cooperation?”
“Exactly my thought.”
The crew-cut high school student smiled, then changed the subject: “What’s your idea?”
“When the smiling face passes by, we both strike together.”
“Fine.”
Time was tight, and there was no trust between them, so naturally, the simpler the better.
Hearing this, Lu Bai slapped the checkout counter and poked his left index finger forward: “I object!”
Repairman: “!”
Crew-cut high school student: “!”
The two death fighters completely didn’t expect Lu Bai to suddenly appear; hadn’t his previous movement speed been like a stroll?
“I just saw this convenience store still open and was planning to hurry over to buy a bottle of water.”
Lu Bai said with a cheerful smile while pulling a two-meter-long katana from his bosom.
The two death fighters quickly adjusted their mindset.
Since they were exposed early, they might as well attack directly; at least they had the advantage in numbers.
The repairman lightly tapped his finger, and a bone blade spear materialized from the void.
The other crew-cut high school student’s shoes were covered in a layer of faint light, condensing into cartoon-style big-headed shoes, with a style utterly different from reality.
“Attack together!”
The repairman let out a low roar, pulling both hands back as if about to hurl the bone blade spear at Lu Bai.
The crew-cut high school student instantly leaped up, spinning half a turn in mid-air, and stomped both feet on the ceiling.
His legs were like fitted with springs, pouncing toward Lu Bai at a bizarre angle.
Seeing this, Lu Bai raised Long Fang and solemnly shouted: “Bankai!”
