I can gain insights into martial arts.

A young police officer strode forward and respectfully reported to the middle-aged officer, "Captain Liang, all exits have been sealed off!"

When Chen Mochuan heard the title "Captain Liang," he finally remembered who the middle-aged policeman was.

Liang Wenbin! Captain of the Special Operations Unit of Antu City Police Department, a martial artist of the "Inner Realm" of the third realm, and one of the pillars of the Antu City police force.

Chen Mochuan, who follows local news every day, had seen the other party's figure and interview clips handling major events on TV more than once. At this moment, he finally matched the name with the person.

He never expected that a few ferocious rats would alarm this important figure.

However, upon further reflection, given that a ferocious beast posing a serious threat was discovered in the bustling city center, its nature was extremely malicious, and it was only reasonable for Liang Wenbin to personally oversee the operation and ensure that nothing went wrong.

Seeing that the student in front of him was pale and disheveled, but had a calm look in his eyes and spoke clearly, Liang Wenbin's tense expression eased slightly.

He then signaled a young police officer who was already waiting to come forward and quickly take a brief on-site statement from Chen Mochuan in the safe area at the edge of the cordon.

Just as the young police officer was recording Chen Mochuan's description of the danger, the SWAT team members who had entered the alley to search for the suspects successively reported to Liang Wenbin via walkie-talkie:

"Report to Team Leader Liang! Two vicious rats have been spotted and killed!"

"Report! No other personnel have been found trapped!"

"Report! No further signs of the ferocious rat have been detected. We are expanding the search area and conducting a more thorough investigation!"

Just when everyone thought the threat was basically over.

"boom!!!"

A dull, loud crash suddenly echoed from the depths of the alley!

Liang Wenbin's hawk-like gaze suddenly locked onto the direction of the sound, and his expression instantly became extremely solemn. With a swift movement, he shot into the alley like a black arrow released from a bow, creating a gust of wind.

Its speed was so fast that Chen Mochuan only saw a blur before the other person's figure disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the sound of wind breaking in the air.

Just over a minute later, Chen Mochuan saw Liang Wenbin emerge from the shadows of the alley.

In his left hand he carried the carcass of an unusually large rat, far exceeding the size of ordinary ferocious rats, resembling a small calf, with glossy black fur and menacing sharp teeth.

"This is definitely not an ordinary ferocious rat!" Chen Mochuan frowned slightly.

The largest of the ferocious rats described in martial arts textbooks and online materials is no larger than an adult Border Collie.

He had never heard of such a large individual before.

Liang Wenbin casually tossed the giant rat's carcass onto the ground with a muffled "thump".

His expression was stern as he spoke to the young police officer who had just finished giving his statement:

"This is the real culprit! It has evolved into the Ferocious Rat King, possessing the strength of a second-tier rat, and has mastered a special method to conceal its presence, allowing it to silently break through layers of outer defenses and lead this horde of rats into the city..."

"Properly hand over its body to the research institute so they can focus on studying this stealth ability and see if they can develop countermeasures as soon as possible."

"Received!" the young officer replied, quickly recording Liang Wenbin's instructions on his terminal. These were key operational report details.

Nothing major happened after that, except for a few brief and faint noises heard from the alleyway, which quickly subsided.

On one occasion, Liang Wenbin slipped into the alley, but soon returned with a livid face, his hands empty, clearly having gained nothing.

After the police officers conducted a thorough and repeated search and confirmed that there were no more abnormalities in the alley, the team began to pack up, and a total of three ordinary vicious rats were shot dead and taken back.

However, another team of police officers brought in a man and a woman who looked disheveled, panicked, and somewhat dazed.

Through the police officers' supplementary reports, Chen Mochuan finally learned the full truth about the dull, loud impact he had heard earlier:

It turned out that the police officers found the Rat King during a thorough search. Perhaps sensing the strong threat from Leung Man-bun outside the alley, the Rat King did not take the opportunity to attack anyone, but instead chose to smash a manhole cover in an attempt to escape.

However, the entrance to the sewer was too small to accommodate its enormous size, and it was eventually caught up and killed by Liang Wenbin.

During their investigation, officers stumbled upon the couple engaging in illicit activities in the open courtyard of a closed shop.

At the same time, a previously unseen ferocious rat was startled and suddenly darted out from the shadows.

Out of their duty to protect public safety, the police officers prioritized protecting the terrified couple behind them.

In the chaos, the ferocious rat had one leg broken, but taking advantage of the moment when the police were protecting the couple, it darted into the sewer opening that the rat king had previously smashed open.

Although Liang Wenbin, who was in command, immediately gave chase after the rat when he heard the call on the intercom and noticed something was wrong, he was a step too late and failed to intercept the vicious rat with the broken leg.

Despite having already learned about the situation during his command, Liang Wenbin's expression was still not good.

The couple's absurd actions not only put themselves in danger, but also caused a flaw in their otherwise perfect operation, creating a serious safety hazard as a vicious rat with a broken leg escaped!

A hot-tempered police officer, seething with anger, stepped forward and sternly questioned the couple:

"After we sealed off all the entrances and exits of the alley, we used a loudspeaker at least three times to repeatedly confirm whether anyone inside needed rescue! Are you deaf?! You didn't react at all, and in this godforsaken place..."

He forced down even more vulgar words, clearly furious.

The disheveled woman lowered her head, trembling, and mumbled in silence.

The man, his eyes darting around, weakly replied, "We...we were too...too engrossed, we...didn't hear the shouts..."

Upon hearing this, the hot-tempered police officer's forehead veins bulged, and he instinctively raised his foot to kick, but was quickly stopped by the people next to him.

"Alright!" Liang Wenbin's voice was deep yet extremely authoritative. "Take them both back to the station and take their statements separately! Focus on finding out whether they took any illegal drugs and whether they were mentally sound at the time!"

His sharp gaze swept over their dazed and confused expressions, and he had already made a judgment in his mind.

He was all too familiar with this reaction, having worked for over a decade in a department specifically tasked with combating illegal drugs: high on drugs!

Watching the two being roughly led into the police car, Chen Mochuan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

The couple looked younger than me, probably high school students, yet they did something so outrageous in an alley late at night.

Once the police notify the school and verify the situation, the minimum penalty is probation; in serious cases, the student's enrollment may be at risk.

Suppressing his anger, Leung Man-bun ordered the police officers to immediately contact the city drainage management office for assistance and to organize forces as soon as possible to capture the vicious rat with the broken leg that had escaped into the sewer.

He then casually took the statement about Chen Mochuan from the young police officer and began to review it.
