Man on the ark, forced to become king

Putting down his phone, Chen released his grip on the girl's arm and said helplessly, "Let's get to know each other again. I am Chen Huijie, an inspector from the Special Inspectorate of the Lungmen Guard Bureau, and the person in charge of handling your case. Now, you need to come with me to the Guard Bureau."

"Oh, oh, is that so? Hello, Officer Chen, I'm Huang..."

The girl nodded absentmindedly, then suddenly took off running with her long legs!

'No, I can't get caught, I can't go back to the Guard Bureau with her!'

'Longmen is too treacherous, despicable! Is this the legendary local tyrant?'

'I have long legs, she shouldn't be able to outrun me...'

A multitude of nonsensical thoughts flooded her mind. Huang gritted her teeth and ran forward with all her might, wanting to get rid of this troublesome police officer as soon as possible, but her little wish was not fulfilled.

After receiving a treatment that directly infused her with life force from the Golden Tree, even without using various amplification prayers, Chen's physical abilities had already been elevated to an extremely high level. Coupled with her outstanding bloodline and talent, ordinary people simply could not outrun her. The difference in physical attributes could not be compensated for by simply having a few centimeters longer legs.

So she caught up with him with almost no effort, grabbed Huang's shoulder from behind, frowned, and increased the pressure on her hand.

The power this person unleashed at full strength was somewhat unexpected, but it was still within her control.

"Don't run away. You have to come back to the Guard Bureau with me and explain what happened. Don't worry, if you really encounter any problems that you can't solve, we will help you."

"Never!"

Huang Qi gritted his teeth and struggled desperately, but he could not break free.

The hands pressing down on her from behind felt like two heavy steel pillars, and no matter how much she struggled, they didn't budge.

Is this woman some kind of Tyrannosaurus Rex?!

"You are all in the same group!"

Gritting his teeth, Huang shouted, then suddenly realized that the commotion seemed to have attracted the attention of those around him. His eyes darted around, and he immediately had an idea, shouting even louder.

"Guards Bureau, attack—Waaaaaah!"

"Stop messing around, okay?"

Chen was also very troubled by this target. Unless it involved violence, she could not take action against civilians, as that would be a serious violation of discipline. However, if she did not take action, the person would cause trouble. If it attracted a crowd of onlookers, not only would the Guard Bureau lose face, but it could also cause other troubles.

Left with no other choice, she could only resort to the gentlest method—gently covering the girl's mouth from behind.

“I’m not on anyone’s side, and I’m not going to put you in the Guard Bureau’s cell just because you made a false police report and slandered me. I just want to know what happened to you and if there’s anything I can do to help you. Why did you have to make such a fuss?”

"Think about it, if I really wanted to do something to you, would I need to go through all this trouble? You can't outrun me, and you can't beat me in a fight, so why not just attack me directly?"

"..."

Perhaps having taken the explanation to heart, the girl in the film calmed down a bit as she struggled. Her big eyes blinked gently, filled with distrust, but she didn't continue to make a scene.

Seeing this, Chen breathed a sigh of relief, pulled her closer to the wall, released her hand, and whispered, "If you really don't want to come back with me, you can talk about it here. Don't worry, if anyone tries to harm you, the Guard Bureau will definitely not allow anyone to act recklessly in Lungmen and disregard the law."

"...That seems to make some sense."

Huang turned around stiffly, stared at the plainclothes police officer in front of him for a while, and nodded hesitantly.

She could sense that this person was indeed different from those she had encountered before, and knew nothing about her affairs, so perhaps she could be trusted.

But in the end, he was just a lowly police officer; what right did he have to speak?

Even if the relationship between Longmen City and the Yan Kingdom is complicated, those people probably can't reach here, and they can't help her with her matter. They might even report the news to higher authorities.

Human nature is the most vulnerable to temptation...

Several thoughts raced through Huang's mind, and his expression softened considerably.

Since there's no way to escape, it's better to play along for now and then find a chance to slip away...

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Soft-Hearted Dragon

Huang's idea was wonderful; she planned to pretend to go back to the Guard Bureau first, and then find an opportunity to slip away on the way.

Longmen is so big. If they walk all the way there, that very treacherous plainclothes police officer will surely have moments when he lets his guard down, right?

After all, people aren't machines; they can't maintain a high level of concentration all the time, and they'll inevitably slack off eventually.

That will be her chance!

Actually, when Huang resisted just now, he didn't use his full strength, because he couldn't easily expose that power.

Although it's not outwardly apparent, she is indeed an Oripathy infected person. As is well known, infected people can use spells without any spellcasting devices, and their power is even greater than that of some mediocre sorcerers who wield staves!

Therefore, if he used his extremely dangerous 'magic', Huang was confident that he could break free from the police officer's control!

He's just an ordinary police officer who gets released to patrol the streets. Even if he's an inspector and has some strength, how strong can he really be?

However, doing so would mean exposing her identity, and in more serious cases, she would be put on the list by the Royal Guard and hunted down.

No city will tolerate the presence of a dangerous infected person. She only has one chance and cannot afford to fail!

As for being taken back for questioning?

Do not make jokes!

Thinking of his family and parents, a hint of hatred flashed in Huang's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

She doesn't trust anyone now, especially those connected to the Yan Kingdom's government!

She is the way she is now entirely because of those people! Those self-important big shots!

They pinned baseless accusations on her father, leaving them with no way out and their family destroyed!

Those hypocritical politicians, not one of them can be trusted. Even Wei Yanwu, the governor of Longmen who controls Longmen, was classified into that category by Huang.

But after following him for half a day, Huang's eyes were getting sore, and he still couldn't see that Chen was relaxing even slightly.

This person is like a robot!

She doesn't even look where she's going; her eyes are fixed on her, like the whole city is staring at her. Is that really necessary?

At this rate, we'll be at the Guard Bureau soon!

Unable to contain his frustration, Huang gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk, seeing that there was really no other way.

Since there's no opportunity, then create one. In short, she has to run!

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a side road turning into an alley ahead. Huang was overjoyed, feeling that his opportunity had come. Without hesitation, he immediately activated his Originium Arts.

Almost instantly, the girl who had been walking obediently on the road turned bright red, like a boiled shrimp. The high temperature heated the surrounding air to an unbearable level, causing it to distort.

Under the amplification of the 'Boiling Blood' state, Huang's physical strength was greatly enhanced, and he transformed into a blur as he rushed into the alley.

"Hmph, want to run away?"

Using Originium Arts bare-handed is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive characteristics of the Infected, and Chen was somewhat aware of this.

The fact that the target he accidentally bumped into on the street was an infected person surprised Officer Long a little. He quickly realized what was happening, snorted, and accelerated instantly. At the same time, the two-finger mark that he always wore as a bracelet on his wrist began to shimmer faintly, giving him several buffs.

Since the target is an infected person, it's better to be careful.

After experiencing some things, Chen became much more cautious. This time, he went all out except for not drawing Chixiao.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two quickly shortened.

Are all the officers in the Royal Guard Bureau monsters?

A shadow in a white shirt swept past her. When she saw Chen suddenly appear in front of her and block her way, Huang felt a little overwhelmed. She thought she was probably having the worst luck ever.

He had planned to sneak into Lungmen to seek help from an old friend of his father's, but he encountered a major city-wide lockdown. After enduring hunger and hardship until the lockdown ended, he ran into some ominous guys who might be pursuers.

After going to great lengths to shake off those people, he ran into plainclothes police officers hiding in the crowd, and got himself into big trouble because of a moment of impulsiveness.

I thought that activating Originium Arts and using the amplification of magic would allow me to easily get rid of this junior officer, but I didn't expect that this guy was actually a master. Even with magic, I couldn't outrun him.

How can anything like recycling even happen in the world?!

Even a random patrol officer you bump into is a master. Is the Lungmen Guard Bureau really that strong?

The odds of this happening are even lower than winning a lottery!

So, what else could she do?

She doesn't have many options left...

Or rather, she had no choice and no way out. If she didn't want to be locked up in a cell, she had no choice but to take the risk!

She had no other choice...

"Get out of my way. I don't want to hurt you. You should know what being infected means."

Clenching her fists, Huang tried one last time. She really didn't want to fight unless absolutely necessary. Injuring an innocent police officer for no reason, or even causing someone to die if she lost control of her abilities in a fight, would be no different from those thugs.

"Get out of the way, just pretend you didn't see me and let me leave. I promise I'll leave Lungmen right away. A police officer like you probably doesn't earn much a month, so why risk your life against a dangerous infected person for that little bit of money?"

"If you really have no ill intentions, then give up resisting and come back to the Guard Bureau with me for investigation. If you have no criminal record, at most we'll just send you out of Lungmen, and there won't be any danger."

Realizing that this guy seemed to be genuinely trying to avoid a fight, Chen Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, her expression softening considerably.

She doesn't discriminate against people who are infected. Her former boss and good friend Jiu is also infected, but they still sit together drinking and chatting.

As long as she doesn't commit illegal or criminal acts, she will never do anything to harm innocent people, and she will also stop others from doing so.

This film... might really be facing some problem, so if the other party remains rational, she wouldn't mind lending a hand.

"Impossible...impossible! The Guard Bureau is just a tool in the hands of those in power! I don't believe you!"

Huang's expression became excited, her skin turned increasingly red, and even her eyes began to show a layer of blood vessels. A thin layer of steam rose from her body, and she seemed to be 'overloaded'.
