I became Superman

"Boss, something's up!"

Feng Chun, director of the early warning department, broke the silence in the ward and exclaimed, "A headless corpse has been found in an alley in the western part of the city."

The swordsman's expression turned serious as he asked, "Have those two committed another crime?"

Feng Chun said, "The colleagues from the forensic department have already gone there. Based on the information collected from the police system, they speculate that the headless corpse should be a vampire."

The vampire is dead?!

Sword Master shuddered and said, "Wu Xinghan and Wu Zhaoxi will stay at the center. The rest of you will come with me to the site for investigation!"

"yes!"

A low, resounding response came from the ward.

The swordsman led his three other stewards to the scene quickly.

It was a dark alley.

Police have already set up a cordon at the entrance of the alley.

Personnel from the Different Species Center's Identification Department are conducting an on-site investigation.

With just a glance, the swordsman recognized the headless corpse lying on the ground as the newly awakened vampire he had seen in the Shadowlands.

Just today, he was still so arrogant, leaving behind only a bat avatar, and together with the old vampire, he toyed with them.

But now he lies on the ground, unable to move at all.

The swordsman looked at the walls on both sides of the alley, where large amounts of blood and brain matter had been splattered.

Scattered bone fragments lay on the ground.

The swordsman finally knew where the young vampire's head had gone.

"How is the situation?"

"The swordsman asked."

Zhao Xiaobing, director of the forensic department, said, "There were no signs of struggle on the part of the deceased, so it is reasonable to assume that his skull was crushed by someone."

"The guy who made the move is incredibly strong."

The swordsman asked, "Is there any trace of the old vampire? Could it be that they're fighting amongst themselves?"

Zhao Xiaobing shook his head and said, "We haven't found any trace of the old vampire, so we can't make any guesses."

The swordsman nodded and began to examine the corpse.

He wasn't good at appraisal, so he couldn't see any more information; he was just guessing what might have happened in the alley.

Vampires have a tradition of infighting, so it's possible that an older vampire killed a younger one.

However, the one that died had clearly only recently awakened. Newly awakened vampires like this do not yet have the power to rebel against their mentors, and infighting rarely occurs at this stage.

If it wasn't the old vampire who killed him, then who was it?

The two vampires were accomplices. If someone wanted to kill the young vampire, the old vampire couldn't possibly stand idly by. However, there were no signs of a fight here, which means that the old vampire wasn't with the young vampire when he died.

Why did they suddenly separate?

The swordsman suddenly had an idea.

Could it be that they didn't separate intentionally, but were forced to do so because they encountered a powerful enemy and had to flee separately?

Finally, the little vampire was caught by the enemy and easily killed.

This idea, which made perfect sense, made the swordsman's heart sink.

He had already witnessed the power of the two vampires.

Even if he unleashed his full power, it would be difficult for him to kill them; if he were to be careless, he might even be killed by them.

Who could possibly frighten two people so much that they had to separate and flee for their lives?

Since the enemy has come to pursue the little vampire, the old vampire must have already escaped.

The old man actually escaped!

The swordsman felt somewhat unwilling, but the fact that there was a powerful figure in Chengdu who could frighten two vampires into separating and fleeing for their lives also weighed heavily on his mind.

He was about to order the forensic department to collect all the surveillance footage in the vicinity to see if they could find the figure of that powerful person when he suddenly heard a roar coming from the east side of the city.

It looks like a bomb exploded over there.

"Contact the police and ask them what happened?"

The swordsman shouted,

A moment later, Ma Degong, one of his subordinates, reported: "An explosion of unknown cause has occurred at Binjiang Park."

Perhaps because the two events were so close together, Jianhao inexplicably felt that the explosion was related to what he was investigating. He said, "Ma Degong, Zhao Xiaobing, come with me to take a look. The rest of you continue to investigate here."

When the three arrived at Binjiang Park, the police had already cordoned off the citizens who had come to check the situation.

The three of them were stunned as they stared at the large pit in the center of the park, which was more than ten meters in diameter.

The surface of the crater has become vitrified, a phenomenon that would only occur from extreme heat or an incredibly powerful impact.

The swordsman asked, "Zhao Xiaobing, what exactly happened to cause this situation?"

Zhao Xiaobing slid down the smooth glass surface to the bottom of the pit, looked around, and said, "Someone detonated a new type of high-yield bomb here, and the bomb's residue can be destroyed by the explosion."

"Or perhaps a meteorite fell here."

The swordsman said coldly, "There's another possibility, why don't you mention it?"

Zhao Xiaobing sighed helplessly and said, "What did you say?"

"You want me to say that there were other beings fighting here, which led to all of this?"

"Do you know what level of anomaly would be needed for this level of destruction?"

"Are you suggesting that there just happened to be ten or eight King-level anomalies fighting here, or that some deity has slipped through the ears of the Di Ting and appeared in the real world?"

"I'd rather believe that some damned, stupid terrorist just happened to detonate a bomb here, or that a meteorite just happened to fall here."

Zhao Xiaobing's barrage of questions left Jianhao speechless.

Perhaps I'm being too suspicious.

Whether it's a god-level anomaly or a gathering of several king-level anomalies, the probability is extremely low.

He shouldn't have wasted his attention on such a far-fetched direction of investigation.

But for some reason, he always felt uneasy.

The swordsman wandered around the park, hoping to find more clues.

Without realizing it, he walked to the edge of the cordon.

Outside, onlookers were discussing the spectacle.

Just as the swordsman was about to turn back, he suddenly heard two people talking about something.

He was startled and abruptly crossed the police line, arriving in front of the two middle-aged men wearing white vests who were idly chatting to pass the time.

"What were you talking about just now?"

"Sword Master said sternly."

When the two middle-aged men saw him emerge from behind the police cordon, they knew he was an official, so they didn't dare to hide anything and said, "We are both residents of the community next to the park. The moment the explosion happened, we looked out the window and saw people leaving the epicenter of the blast."

"Are you sure you didn't see that wrong?!"

One of the men said, "At first we were worried that we were seeing things, but after we discussed it, we realized that we both saw it, so it must be true."

A chill ran through the swordsman's heart.

Immediately after the explosion, some people left the scene.

To be able to survive an explosion of this magnitude, or to have caused the explosion himself.

A deity not under the watchful eye of the divine?

In such a small city as Chengdu, how could such a creature, which could be considered a natural disaster, exist?

Sword Master felt a tightness in his chest and looked worriedly at the surrounding skyscrapers.

He seemed to see the entire city sitting on a giant volcano.

The volcano could erupt at any time, turning the city into ruins.

A god-level anomaly is such an existence.

This was no longer a matter he could handle.

Or rather, this incident was far beyond his capabilities.

The world of the supernatural was far more unfathomable than he had imagined; he had been far too arrogant in the past.
