An eerie silence fell over the Zhao family manor.

Zhao Yingming stared dumbfounded at the empty space in the sky.

The spatial energy left by the black hole bomb is still raging, but it remains at a safe distance and has no effect on the city below.

The aftershocks of the explosion actually dispersed the clouds and fog, bringing an unusually clear day.

Zhao Heling stood in front of the railing, her face gloomy, no longer as composed as before.

According to his estimate, the success rate is at least 90%, right?

But that forbidden weapon, powerful enough to destroy half of a core base city, is just gone?!

What terrified him even more was that the one who dragged away the bomb was not the human powerhouse he had imagined, but a calamity!

A calamity!

"impossible……"

Zhao Heling murmured, her emotions gradually becoming agitated.

"Impossible...this is impossible!"

He slammed his hand on the railing at the edge of the terrace.

The railing was clearly no match for the power of a sixth-tier awakened being, and with a cracking sound, it split open.

The plaster was peeling off the walls, and the wall below looked like it was about to collapse.

Zhao Heling had no time to pay attention to these things. She subconsciously tightened her grip, crushing the pebbles in her palm into powder.

"That's a world-ending torrent! Even if it's just an avatar, how could it possibly... how could it possibly..."

His voice grew softer and softer until it became a murmur that was almost a delirium.

The Sequence 8 [Calamity] behemoth cannot obey humans.

Then there's only one possibility:

The one acting in the shadows is [Doomsday]!

And who knows, the other party might actually be "Inspector Jiang"!

Listening to his father's nagging, Zhao Yingming felt his legs go weak and his back was soaked with cold sweat. He had only one thought in his mind.

Finished!

We've really messed up!

I thought there were two inspectors, one in the open and one in the shadows, with the "special envoy" in the open just to attract attention, but I never expected this answer!

Regardless of how absurd the actions of the official authorities in the Pinnacle Calamity are.

The most frustrating problem is that our previous series of actions have already deeply offended the other side.

"dad."

Zhao Yingming spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling as he called out, and then fell silent.

He did consider running away.

But can it run away?

Zhao Heling turned around with difficulty, startling Zhao Yingming.

Madness, fear, anger, resentment... a variety of emotions intertwined on his face, eventually transforming into endless madness.

"Hahaha, calamity is good! Calamities deserve to die!"

Zhao Yingming's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

After a burst of laughter, having probably released most of his emotions, Zhao Heling murmured a sigh:

"We've been tricked..."

In his eyes, all of this was a conspiracy of calamity.

From the moment they were marked by that thing, the entire Zhao family embarked on a path of no return.

They were merely stepping stones for that "Doomsday" to gain reputation and the trust of the higher-ups.

Hoarding cores, colluding with calamities, luring and killing Gao Yi... She wished the Zhao family would go even further, so that the killing would be more effective!

After all, how could a catastrophe as extreme as "doomsday" possibly genuinely serve humanity?

Even if they are of human origin, given the inherent conflict of identity, they can never truly submit to humanity!

Yes, that must be it!

There's definitely something wrong with this "apocalypse"!

Zhao Heling never considered where she was wrong; instead, she formed a unique logical loop, firmly believing that her guess was correct.

Zhao Yingming watched Zhao Heling's changing expressions throughout, and vaguely guessed what was going on. He felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Is it too late to commit suicide now?

He didn't want to die a horrible death...

Just then, Zhao Heling suddenly raised his head.

Dozens of fifth-order auras rose from the ground, completely surrounding the manor.

Further out, hundreds of Tier 4 security officers, fully armed, had all sorts of remote-controlled alien artifacts aimed at this area.

Zhou Bingkun stood at the front of the line and gave the order in a deep voice:

"Everyone, listen up—seal off all entrances and exits! Do not let a single member of the Zhao family escape!"

"yes!"

The resounding, unified response was deafening.

Zhao Heling watched this scene with an unfriendly expression, especially the two men and one woman beside Zhou Bingkun.

Two men visited him yesterday; he seemed to know them.

He hadn't seen the girl before; she wore glasses and looked gentle and well-behaved, but he was certain in his heart:

This is [Doomsday]!

Or rather, the real "Inspector Jiang".

What a fine disguise!

"Walk!"

Zhao Heling said coldly:

"Go and meet them."

……

A moment later, Zhao Heling led a group of core family members to the front of the manor.

They looked at each other in silence, like the calm before a storm.

The sheriffs looked serious, while the Zhao family members had various expressions.

Some felt guilty, some were numb, and some glared at Zhao Heling with hatred.

The difference between the two is already quite obvious.

Zhao Heling stopped and looked at Jiang Mian, letting out a cold laugh.

"Inspector Jiang, you've really got a good plan."

"If you're just making a comment out of sentimentality, you don't need to waste everyone's time."

Jiang Mian crossed his arms over his chest, as if looking at a dead man.

Even facing certain death, this guy is still struggling?

There were also four sixth-level and more than ten fifth-level members from the Zhao family present. Although they seemed strong, the gap between the two sides was still huge.

"Hehe, of course not."

Zhao Heling, however, seemed to have gotten excited, raising her voice several decibels:

"I'd also like to ask, what right do you, a calamity, have to judge us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a slight commotion arose among the ranks of sheriffs, but then silence returned.

Even if they had some guesses about that person's identity, they dared not and should not speak recklessly.

In such large-scale operations, following orders is what they should do.

Zhou Bingkun couldn't help but furrow his brow.

Zhao Heling's words were clearly meant to sow discord.

It wasn't that he didn't trust this "Miss Ye"; the fact that the authorities sent her was enough to prove many things.

At least she is trustworthy.

What Zhou Bingkun cared about was her own thoughts.

They finally managed to turn enemies into friends; if this leaves a lingering resentment, then...

However, Jiang Mian seemed to have heard the biggest joke and couldn't help but chuckle.

When Zhao Heling spoke, she felt a faint spiritual force trying to penetrate her mind.

If it's just this little trick, it won't be of any use to you.

"puff."

Yun Han, who was standing to the side, almost lost his composure.

"What are you all laughing at?"

Seeing that no one reacted, Zhao Heling excitedly said:

"A calamity has infiltrated the Ministry of Supervision and openly become an inspector. Don't you find that terrifying?!"

It remained completely silent.

After being incited just now, they actually came to a clearer understanding.

In terms of actions, Jiang Mian just saved so many people, and everyone saw it.

On the contrary, the Zhao family just dropped the [Black Hole Bomb], which almost destroyed half of the base city.

Anyone with eyes can tell who's good and who's bad, how could anyone doubt her?

"Are you done talking?"

Ye Chenyang spoke calmly:

"We're too lazy to reason with you; you're not worthy to listen."

These words were like a command, and Zhou Bingkun quickly followed up, issuing the order:

"Take it down!"

"No."

Jiang Mian stretched out her hand to block the crowd, coldly looking at the Zhao family members.

"Sixth-rank member of the Zhao family, kill them on the spot, leave no one alive!"
