It was 11 p.m., and the square and the surrounding roads were packed with people. The trees and streetlights were filled with people. Not only that, the sky was also crowded with flying machines and mechs. If you didn't know better, you would think that some superstar had arrived.
When all fifty people fell down again, Li Ze glanced around, frowned, and said to the man beside him, "Tell the people behind that, count two thousand people from the back. Those who are after two thousand, tell them to come back tomorrow. The location is still here. It will start at two o'clock in the afternoon."
Upon hearing this, the man was overjoyed and immediately shouted to relay Li Ze's words to the people behind him.
Those at the back of the line were immediately relieved to hear that they could continue tomorrow.
Although they weren't called tonight, they didn't leave. They all craned their necks, imagining what it would be like to be beaten up tomorrow.
To be honest, this kind of battle with such a huge disparity in strength and a completely one-sided fight was not exciting, and the cheers from the audience were not very enthusiastic.
The outcome was not in doubt; what everyone wanted to see was the sentries lying on the ground groaning in pain while simultaneously looking relaxed, content, and even a little surprised.
Those expressions were far more interesting and entertaining than the fight itself.
With twenty matches, each lasting about ten minutes, and including time for entering and leaving the game, by the time the twentieth match was played, it was already 3 a.m. By then, many people had already left.
When the last game was over, everyone turned around and left, their movements swift and decisive, as if afraid of being stuck in traffic.
Li Ze followed the crowd and left, leaving behind only the fifty sentries lying on the ground, groaning and howling.
"That feels great! I haven't felt this good in ages!"
"I feel an unprecedented calm. If it weren't for my injuries, I would have suspected that I wasn't fighting, but rather that I was relieved by an S-class guide."
“An S-level guide? That’s someone we can’t contact. Besides, hiring a guide of that level for relief is quite expensive.”
"If only Boss Li Ze could stay on Taotie Star forever, I would never need a guide in my entire life."
"One shouldn't be so greedy. I'd be very happy if he stayed for just a few years."
"You're daydreaming. You'll stay for a few months at most."
......
After everyone had left, the fifty sentries struggled to their feet.
"Shall we go grab a drink to celebrate?"
"Drinking while injured? Are you out of your mind?"
"If it's not a serious injury, then it's not really an injury. Besides, such a great thing deserves to be celebrated."
"Hehe, the thought that I can remain calm and composed for a long time to come without having to fight makes me so happy. I plan to leave Taowu Star tomorrow and go back to live with my son's family for a while. I've missed them after being here for several years. Thanks to Li Ze, otherwise I probably would never have had the chance to reunite with my son's family in this lifetime."
"After hearing what you said, I also want to go back to my family and friends."
"I also need to go home."
"We haven't even had a drink yet, and you're all already getting sentimental."
"It's not sadness, it's emotion, it's joy."
“I know a pub over there, let’s have a drink and chat.”
......
They helped each other walk toward the tavern.
However, just as they were walking down a quiet alley, more than thirty tall men suddenly blocked their way from the front and back. Before they could even ask anything, a barrage of anesthetic injections was fired at them.
Exhausted bodies, nowhere to hide in the alley, all fifty people were infected and fainted almost instantly.
"Tsk, Li Ze has saved us a lot of trouble!"
"This way, we can give Dr. Fujiko an explanation."
"Stop talking nonsense. The checks are strict lately. Let's get him back quickly. We'll only be safe once we're back in the lab."
"Some carry two, some carry one, and those who carry only one are responsible for guarding."
"Don't worry, boss, my quantum beast is secretly keeping watch for us."
"My quantum beast will lead the way, and I will receive the message immediately if we encounter the police."
"Better safe than sorry, don't be careless."
"The boss is right."
In the distance, Li Ze, who had perfectly concealed himself in the darkness, calmly sent a communication request to the police station.
The on-duty police officer saw that the caller was Li Ze and quickly answered the call.
“I saw those people,” Li Ze said.
The officer on duty was shocked. They found out so quickly? Wasn't he always fighting with others? Where did you see him?
The officer had a lot of questions in his mind.
"I will share my location with you in real time. You need to bring your men over quickly. There are quite a few of them, so send more people," Li Ze reminded him.
“Okay, I’ll notify the captain right away. You keep an eye on him and don’t do anything rash,” the officer said.
Li Ze hummed in agreement and ended the call.
It was no accident that Li Ze noticed those people. As the square grew larger, he feared that some might try to take advantage of the situation or cause trouble, so he released his divine sense to keep an eye on his surroundings. As soon as his divine sense was released, he immediately noticed these thirty-odd people.
The reason is simple: the concentration of malevolent energy emanating from these thirty-odd people is almost twice that of the sentries present. Furthermore, while the malevolent energy on others is clean, theirs is clearly tinged with a faint pinkish-red bloodthirsty aura.
These thirty-odd people have all killed someone, or more accurately, they have all killed someone recently.
Especially when they were watching, their eyes were like those of someone looking at prey, filled with sinister malice.
Thus, Li Ze confirmed their identities almost instantly; they were connected to the missing people.
