Shen Qian recognized the car's license plate number, paused for a moment, then got into the car without hesitation, and at the same time roughly understood why no one had come to take his statement.
"Chen Qian, we meet again."
Sitting in the back row, Chai Haotian, whom I hadn't seen for a while, looked somewhat tired. He nodded to Chen Qian, "Shall we find a place to chat for a bit?"
"How could I refuse the city lord's invitation?" Shen Qian smiled.
Chai Haotian brought Shen Qian to Jingcheng Building.
This is the second tallest building in Jingcheng after the Tower of Babel. Even standing on the rooftop garden restaurant, which was no longer open, overlooking the city lights, Shen Qian couldn't figure out Chai Haotian's thoughts for a moment.
"Shenqian, you must never do this again!"
Chai Haotian handed Shen Qian a cocktail and suddenly spoke in an unprecedentedly serious tone.
Shen Qian didn't understand what Chai Haotian meant at first, but he roughly knew that Chai Haotian was doing it for his own good, so he could only nod vaguely, "I will pay more attention in the future."
"You still don't understand."
Chai Haotian, however, refused to give up.
“I know you have mountains and seas following you, but sometimes, even mountains and seas can’t do anything. Shenqian, you are now bound to the fate of Jingcheng. If you are harmed, Jingcheng… will no longer be able to bear such a misfortune.”
Shen Qian frowned, subconsciously feeling some resistance to Chai Haotian's incessant lecturing.
Seemingly sensing Shen Qian's impatience, Chai Haotian remained silent for a moment before suddenly flipping his hand and pulling out a file folder from somewhere, which he then handed to Shen Qian.
"See for yourself."
At this moment, whether it was a misperception or not, Chai Haotian's gaze suddenly became incredibly complex.
Shen Qian took the file folder with a puzzled look.
This file folder bears the dual seals of the Martial Arts Bureau and the Police Armed Forces Division, both bearing the two large characters.
"Top Secret".
Shen Qian glanced at Chai Haotian, and seeing that the other party did not respond, he opened the file folder.
The file folder contained a thick stack of documents.
Shen Qian casually picked out a card, then his gaze froze.
This is an autopsy report!
The person who underwent the autopsy was named "Scavenger No. 19".
The description of the death is briefly marked below; the person died in the abandoned landfill at No. 3 South City.
In other words, the owner of this autopsy report was one of the many scavengers killed before the sinking tonight.
Shen Qian focused intently on watching it.
Soon, his pupils contracted, and a hint of inexplicable shock flashed in his eyes.
One very important piece of data in the autopsy of police officers is the assessment of the deceased's physical abilities before death.
And this scavenger, number 19, his strength is...
Eighth Dan of a middle-level martial artist!
Even though he had some prior estimates of the Shadow Blade's power, Shen Qian still realized that his predictions were too conservative.
You should know that Shen Qian's current true realm is only the second stage of the initial martial artist, at most the late stage of the second stage of the initial martial artist, no more than that.
Even with the system's intervention, purely calculating speed and strength, he is only around the fifth level of a mid-level martial artist.
And he, with the cultivation level of a beginner martial artist at the second stage, actually killed a scavenger at the intermediate martial artist level at the eighth stage!
No, that's not right, it's not a kill, it's an instant kill.
What does this mean?
Suddenly, Shen Qian realized with a start that this was only one autopsy report, and there were forty-one more autopsy reports in the file folder!
What about these scavengers?
What kind of strength do they possess?
Could there be... someone even higher than the eighth dan of intermediate martial arts?
Shen Qian then understood why Chai Haotian's gaze was so complicated.
Shen lowered his head slightly, deciding to finish reading all the reports in the file folder first, while secretly smiling bitterly to himself.
System, oh system, you've really given me a tough problem.
How the hell am I supposed to explain something so absurd?
This is absolutely beyond comprehension.
Even though... Chai Haotian is a well-informed city lord and a genuine expert from the Mountain and Sea Realms.
