Chapter 24: Extralegal Area
Each team of the Special Management Bureau has specially allocated vehicles and certificates made by the bureau. Because the identity may be different every time a mission is carried out, the certificates also need to be specially made.
For example, this time.
The people in Team 7 had their badges on their chests which indicated they were the special task force from the province.
Looking at his own photo on the ID, Li Muhan felt that the Special Management Bureau was really powerful. They could even do such things, and it was officially certified. You could even find their information on the municipal website.
"What are you thinking about?"
Huo Tian, who was driving, glanced at Li Muhan out of the corner of his eye.
"Nothing much, it just feels really amazing. Yesterday I was sitting in a lecture at the university, and today I'm an expert from the province handling a case."
"Hahahaha, just get used to it. Guess what I used to do."
"Police Chief."
Li Muhan blurted out.
Huo Tian gave Li Muhan a blank look.
"Stinky boy, can't you just cooperate with me?"
"Captain Huo Tian, didn't you also pretend to be asleep in the car that day? You're a better actor than me."
Li Muhan replied with a smile.
Huo Tian cursed a few times.
Afterwards, Li Muhan glanced at Su Xue and Yin Qi in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
"Why, are you interested in my past?"
Su Xue, who was still looking at the file, noticed Li Muhan's gaze and looked at him through the rearview mirror with a smile.
"Although I didn't join the Special Management Bureau, we are now comrades."
Li Muhan scratched his head and said with a smile.
"As for me, I used to be an administrator in a state-owned enterprise."
"I can't tell, Sister Xue, you're already working."
When Su Xue heard Li Muhan say this, she narrowed her eyes slightly. This girl always made Li Muhan feel like she was smiling all the time.
But the more this happened, the more Li Muhan felt confused.
"Work? You know, if Taozi wanted to, even if she ate delicacies every day and never worked for the rest of her life, it would probably take her ten lifetimes to spend all her money."
"Captain, you talk a lot."
Su Xue looked at Huo Tian with a smile, but Huo Tian sensed a hint of murderous intent in this smile, so he immediately shut his mouth.
Wow, she turns out to be a rich woman, Li Muhan exclaimed.
"Where's Xiao Yin?"
Li Muhan looked at Yin Qi who had been looking at his phone.
"You don't have to worry about me."
But he only received a cold response from Yin Qi.
"ah......"
Li Muhan was a little embarrassed, and finally Lin Ziyu's voice came from the intercom in the car.
"You'll never guess what I used to do. I'm a hacker, a super hacker who once broke into the national security system."
"Who asked you?"
Huo Tian interrupted Lin Ziyu, then said to Li Muhan helplessly.
"This kid was bailed out of prison by the Special Management Bureau. He dared to hack into the national security system at the age of 14. He peed his pants when he was caught. Look at how cowardly he is. If he really went to jail, I'm afraid his ass would be in danger."
"Captain! Don't tear people apart when they are in trouble!"
The atmosphere in the car became lively, diluting the disgust Li Muhan had just felt when he saw the bodies of the tragically dead men.
The place the four of them are currently heading to is a dilapidated apartment in the old town of Tianhai City.
This street was missed in Tianhai City's renovation plan because there were too many historical problems, so the government ultimately had no choice but to let it grow wildly.
Over time, it became a gathering place for homeless people and certain gangs.
"Mu Han, are you feeling better?"
Su Xue had just seen Li Muhan vomiting for a long time while leaning against the wall, so she was a little worried now.
"It's okay, I just haven't seen such a bloody scene."
This is a lie.
Li Muhan had seen quite a few dead people when he was a child, but there was no need to talk about these things here, as they were all in the past.
But having seen it doesn't mean he is numb.
Even when he was in a hellish orphanage as a child, he still hoped to have an ordinary life.
This is also why he regarded Gu Ruoxi as the light in his life before, because it was she who led him out of that hell.
It’s a pity that things have changed and people have changed.
"That's strange. Your file clearly states that you've taken ten lives, and based on the photos from the scene, the deaths were far more tragic than those of these four. How can you still feel unwell?"
It was Yin Qi who spoke.
Her words were sharp and seemed to have a questioning tone.
The ten lives she mentioned on Li Muchan's body were those of Zhao Qiankun's thugs, so they could actually be counted on Bal's head, but Li Muchan didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly.
"Xiao Yin, how can you talk like that?"
Huo Tian immediately spoke out to stop him.
"Yes, Xiao Yin, it's also written in the file. Mu Han lost control of his power at that time, so..."
"What if he loses control of his power again?"
Yin Qi's words brought the atmosphere in the car to freezing point.
"I can't give him my back."
"Alright, Yoongi."
Finally, it was Lin Ziyu on the intercom who broke the deadlock.
"Mu Han has a guarantor, and the necklace he's wearing is the latest product developed by the Science Council and me, specifically for demons. Besides, he's not an official member of the Special Management Bureau, he's here to assist us..."
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Yin Qi coldly interrupted Lin Ziyu who wanted to show off.
Li Muhan was also very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
It was not until he heard Lin Ziyu's words that he asked with some confusion.
"Excuse me, can Xia Yue, who is also an alien like me, also be a guarantor?"
"Normally speaking, no, but Xia Yue is special."
Huo Tian said.
"She doesn't belong to the Huaxia Special Management Bureau. You should be able to see that her appearance doesn't show pure Chinese descent. Moreover, she is a controllable natural disaster-level anomaly, which means that the Huaxia Special Management Bureau wants to win over her at all costs."
Li Muhan understood.
The guarantor's words were not meant to reassure Yin Qi.
But telling Yin Qi.
Even if the Special Management Bureau abandons all of them, it will definitely win over Li Muhan.
As for why?
Because his guarantor is a disaster-level alien.
Yin Qi snorted coldly and continued to look at his phone.
The destination has finally arrived.
Li Muhan looked out the car window and found that the scenery outside had completely changed.
There are no tall buildings or bustling streets, only dilapidated bungalows and old apartments, and some unscrupulous people gathered together.
Those people watched the passing vehicles with strange eyes, as if they were wary of something.
"Boy, you are not from this place."
"Well, I came to Tianhai City to study at university."
"Try not to talk for a while."
After saying this, Huo Tian parked the car in front of an old apartment building.
"The advantage of the Special Management Bureau is that it has money and resources. As long as you do your job well, you can get whatever you want. But there is also a disadvantage, which is that you have to keep a low profile, especially when dealing with ordinary people. You must not attract too much attention. Remember?"
After receiving Li Muhan's affirmative answer, Huo Tian suddenly took out a pistol from his waist and handed it to Li Muhan.
"But don't be a coward."
Seeing Li Muhan taking the pistol with a complicated expression, Huo Tian opened the car door.
As soon as the four got out of the car, several men surrounded them.
"Where are you from? What do you do?"
The leading man chewed gum and looked at the four men in suits and ties with disdain.
"It's a public affair, don't worry, there's no clear investigation."
Huo Tianliang showed the forged ID.
Although the man looked unremarkable, he seemed to recognize the certificate.
"Oh, you're from the province."
He was not afraid at all. He stared at the ID for a long time and suddenly looked at Su Xue and Yin Qi.
"Wow, your wife is so beautiful."
As he was about to step forward to check the two girls' IDs, Huo Tian raised his hand to stop him.
“Enough is enough.”
Huo Tian only said this.
The man chewed gum with a look of disdain on his face, then spat the gum on the ground and waved at the four people.
"Go in and keep a low profile, otherwise no one can protect you even if they come from heaven."
Even after they entered the apartment, the men were still staring at their backs.
Li Muhan felt very strange.
"Is there no police station here? Can't we seek support from the police station first?"
"One thing can affect the whole thing. The connections here are all rotten to the core. By the time the police station took us to look for the person, he had already escaped."
Li Muhan nodded.
Huo Tian is worthy of being a former policeman, his insight is different.
The elevator in the old apartment was narrow and had a foul smell.
I wonder if people often urinate and defecate in elevators.
As soon as she entered the elevator, Su Xue covered her nose and frowned.
On the contrary, Yin Qi acted as if nothing had happened, as if he had already gotten used to this kind of environment.
The elevator reached the fifth floor and the four of them went straight to rooms 5-8.
The corridor of this apartment is open. Looking down through the corridor handrail, Li Muhan was surprised to find that there were at least thirty men gathered downstairs.
Everyone was holding a weapon in their hands and staring at them intently.
"Now do you understand why the salaries at the Special Management Bureau are so high?"
In the headphones, Lin Ziyu said to Li Muhan with a smile.
"Can you see what I see?"
"There are miniature cameras in the badges on your chests. Of course I can see it. I have to provide you with support. Look in the sky at the nine o'clock position."
Li Muhan looked in the direction and saw a micro drone hovering in the air.
"Okay, Ziyu, stop showing off and tell us about 5-8."
"Got it, Captain."
Lin Ziyu seemed a little unsatisfied and obviously wanted to say a few more words.
But now the mission is more important.
The micro drone quietly circled to the other side of the building, and then Lin Ziyu spoke to a few people.
"Everyone is in the house, go ahead."
After getting a positive answer, Huo Tian raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
A hoarse voice came from the room.
"I, I will definitely pay next week... so don't come to me anymore."
"Zhou Zhiguo, open the door. We are not here to collect protection money."
Huo Tian said coldly.
"So who are you?"
"Don't you recognize me?"
Huo Tian looked at Zhou Zhiguo with a sneer.
“Yes, it’s you!!”
Zhou Zhiguo was about to close the door, but Huo Tian kicked the door open and Zhou Zhiguo fell to the ground.
"search."
Then Huo Tian waved his hand, and Yin Qi and Su Xue immediately began to search the room.
Zhou Zhiguo got up from the ground and looked at Huo Tian with anger.
"It's you again! It's you again!! I wasn't the one who killed your son!! Why won't you let me go!"
Huo Tian directly threw his Special Management Bureau ID in his face.
"I'm from the Special Management Bureau now, here to investigate the case."
Upon hearing the words "Special Management Bureau", Zhou Zhiguo fell silent.
At this time, Li Muhan also saw clearly the person in front of him, a middle-aged man with ragged clothes and a haggard face.
This person is Zhou Zhiguo.
That is the legendary monster, the Huan Kingdom.
