Desperate people, accept the seed of my soul!

Luo Kui took the box and nodded.

Qin Yan called out to him.

"Wait a moment."

Luo Kui stopped in his tracks.

"Remember. This mission is to kill. Her hands and feet can be severed, but her head must be brought back intact. The higher-ups need a sample of her brain to extract data on the source of her abilities. So, don't blow her head off."

Luo Kui's eyes turned cold.

"clear."

He turned and walked out.

Qin Yan sat back down in his chair, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a small sip.

The tea has gone cold.

He didn't pay attention.

He looked at the point on the map that was circled several times.

His premonition was very strong.

Something is bound to happen tonight.

At the same time, in the underground conference room of the Dingbei City Public Security Bureau, Cheng Yanqiu was having a remote video conference with several experts from the General Administration of Customs.

The lighting in the conference room was rather cold, and the incandescent bulbs made everyone's faces appear bluish.

Cheng Yanqiu stood in front of the electronic screen, which displayed a detailed battle damage statistics table.

"Li Su traveled from Shanyang to Changning, and then from Changning to Dingbei. The number of people killed along the way is conservatively estimated to be over 170. Among them were four provincial officials, seven municipal officials, a branch leader of an underground organization, and more than 30 armed personnel. The twelve children she took away have all been taken over by the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and their identities are being verified one by one."

Cheng Yanqiu's voice was calm, as if he were reading an ordinary work report.

On the other end of the line, an elderly man with gray hair nodded slightly.

The old man, surnamed Fang, was a specially appointed expert of the Police Affairs Committee of the Grand Sukung Yuan. He had been engaged in national security research in his early years and had a deep understanding of the behavioral patterns of superhumans.

"Xiao Cheng, the report says that she hasn't been seen since she left Dingbei."

Old Fang's voice sounded somewhat tired.

"Yes. We used ground security forces and aerial drones to search, but we couldn't find any trace. Her mental fluctuations also disappeared completely, as if they had evaporated."

Old Fang paused for a moment.

"She can fly, yet she walks on the ground. This means she's deliberately hiding herself. When an awakened being begins to conceal themselves, there are only two possibilities: either they're recovering from injuries, or they're preparing for the next attack."

Cheng Yanqiu nodded.

"We considered both possibilities. That's why we pushed the troops northward while simultaneously releasing information through underground channels."

The operations staff behind her handed her a briefing.

Cheng Yanqiu took it and showed it to the person on the other end of the line.

"We released information about 'Beiling Trading' being involved in foreign espionage activities, but we controlled the scope to ensure we didn't alert them. If Li Su is indeed looking for the Black Falcon organization, she will follow that lead."

Old Fang frowned as he looked at the briefing.

"You want to use her to take down Black Falcon's base?"

"Yes," Cheng Yanqiu admitted readily.

"Black Falcon's men are well-equipped, with heavy weapons and equipment specifically designed for superhumans. They've been operating undercover in our country for years, and they have connections with the Five Mountains Society and Huike Biotechnology. We haven't had a suitable opportunity to make a move because we lack solid evidence and are afraid of alerting them. Now that Li Su has been planted, Black Falcon's men are forced into the open. This is the best time to close the net."

Old Fang's eyes sharpened.

"Aren't you afraid she'll kill another group of people, and things will get out of control?"

Cheng Yanqiu did not answer immediately.

She walked to the window, lifted a corner of the blinds, and looked out at the gray sky.

"Mr. Fang, every single person Li Su killed, once investigated, had a reason to die. Zhou Zhengde, Zheng Guangming, Liu Dongqiang, Zhao Deshun, Chen Hui, Duan Changming... If the things they did were investigated by the Disciplinary Committee, they wouldn't be spared even if they were executed ten times over. We've always said we should solve problems through the law, but they've used the law to protect themselves, to detain whistleblowers, and to bury the innocent in files. Now that someone has appeared who doesn't follow legal procedures, they've started to be afraid and have started shouting about protecting human rights."

She lowered the curtain and turned around.

"I'm not saying Li Su is right. I just think that in this situation, what we can do is to drag out all those organizations that dare not show their faces. She fights in the front, and we clear her out from behind. If she really threatens public safety in the end, I will stop her at all costs."

Mr. Fang remained silent for a long time.

"Have you ever wondered where her power comes from?"

Cheng Yanqiu paused for a moment.

"I've thought about it. But I can't figure it out."

"Have you ever suspected that you are the same kind of person as Li Rui from Lieyang Province, Song Chao from Jeolla Province, and the earliest ones?"

"I had my suspicions. But I had no evidence. The only thing they had in common was that they all suddenly awakened in extreme despair and anger, and their abilities were highly correlated with their obsessions."

Cheng Yanqiu walked back to the electronic screen.

"Li Rui is fire, because his wife was tortured to death. Song Chao is blood, because he was driven to despair by injustice. Li Su is telekinesis, because her body was bound and her consciousness was controlled. Her ability was born to break free from all constraints."

Old Fang sighed.

"You can't stop or persuade a person like that."

Cheng Yanqiu looked at him.

"I didn't mean to persuade her. I just wanted her to use that knife to strike where it was most needed. Black Falcon and the Five Mountains Alliance are those places."

After the video call ended, Cheng Yanqiu sat in the conference room for a long time.

She reread the intelligence briefing about Beiling Trade.

The company's registered capital came from a medium-sized biotechnology enterprise in the Northern Republic.

The legal representative is a foreigner who has never appeared in public.

She closed the document and shut her eyes briefly.

"Li Su".

She said it softly.

"Go find them."

As night fell, Li Su was walking beside the railway tracks in the old industrial area.

She did not fly.

They didn't use telekinesis to clear the path either.

Like an ordinary person, she stepped on the gravel and cinders, her shoes making a soft rustling sound.

Her hair was piled up at the back of her head and casually tied with a black hair tie, revealing her smooth forehead and two sharp eyebrows.

In the past five days, she has only slept for less than ten hours.

But she wasn't sleepy.

The Seed of Souls continuously provided energy, like a deep well that never runs dry, slowly and steadily irrigating her body.

She is thinner than she was five days ago.

His cheeks were slightly sunken, his wrist bones were prominent, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.

She has already taken the children to a safe place.

Now, she's going to find the people who dragged the children into hell.

Black Falcon Organization.

Over the past five days, she has used her mental powers to thoroughly investigate the entire northern suburbs of Dingbei City.

She found three safe houses hidden in the old factory.

Two of them were already empty.

The third one is that the lights are on tonight.

There were a lot of people inside.

She patiently observed them all night.
