Those who reincarnate must die.
Chapter 734 If I commit a crime
After sorting through the rewards, and with time running out, everyone returned to the main world. (Google search reading)
Zhang Lang last entered the altar in his rented room in Donghai City. This time, since summer vacation is not over yet, he plans to continue doing missions here and exchange for more memory cards. With Wang Defa's help in collecting them, he should be able to get at least a dozen this time.
As soon as he arrived at the Broken Sword, the security guard at the entrance recognized him. These days, Zhang Lang had become a regular visitor.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ning instructed that if he sees you, he should notify you to come to his office to see him, saying that he has something important to discuss with you."
Ning Yi? Zhang Lang could roughly guess why he was looking for him. Although he didn't care, he still had to give him face since he was earning storage cards under Ning Yi's tutelage.
Zhang Lang arrived at the chairman's office, where Ning Yi's secretary, Ding Min, was already waiting outside. Upon seeing Zhang Lang, she smiled and invited him inside.
"Oh, Zhang Lang, you've finally arrived... Do you even know how big a mess you've made this time?"
"What?" Zhang Lang asked knowingly, "Is killing a wanted criminal such a big deal?"
"Was that just an ordinary bounty hunter?" Ning Yi asked with a serious expression. "That's the master of the Shen Clan's fourth altar, one of the Shen Clan's most outstanding heroes, and a pillar of the Shen Clan in their fight against foreign tribes! I know you have a grudge against Luo Wei, but I didn't expect you to resort to such a radical method to resolve this..."
"I have a feeling you already knew this," Zhang Lang said, looking at Ning Yi with a sneer. "And you're even a little pleased?"
"Ahem..." Ning Yi coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness: "In short, because of Luo Wei's death, the Shen Clan's higher-ups have already held an emergency meeting, the main topic of which is how to deal with you."
"I'd like to hear the details." Zhang Lang crossed his legs, looking completely indifferent.
Seeing his attitude, Ning Yi sighed: "It's tentatively decided that the lucky Lan Qi will take over as the fourth altar master. She has already gone to prepare for the trial... As for you, considering it's your first offense, and Luo Wei tried to kill you first, we'll let it go this time, but this won't happen again..."
"Hehe..." Zhang Lang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Is there anything else?"
"That's all..." Ning Yi still kept a straight face, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and then he burst out laughing.
"Alright..." Ning Yi finally managed to suppress his smile and said, "Now I have a task for you. The company has three memory cards left. If you complete this task, you can have them all..."
"Only three left?" Zhang Lang was somewhat surprised.
"Do you think memory cards are something that common? Although they circulate quite a bit, the demand is even greater. It's already quite an achievement that we have this many!"
"Alright, alright..." Zhang Lang waved his hand. He didn't want to hear those long-winded explanations; he only knew what he wanted.
After leaving Ning Yi's office, Zhang Lang went to the mission department.
After staying here for a while, Zhang Lang couldn't help but sigh that Donghai City, as one of the most populous metropolises in the world, was truly a complex place.
Beneath the seemingly peaceful and bustling city lie hundreds of reincarnated beings, and countless special items that have lost control of the altar for various reasons. Supernatural events occur here almost daily. However, most of them have little impact and go unnoticed by the public. The few serious ones are dealt with and covered up by the efforts of the Broken Sword, making this legendary city appear calm and serene.
Zhang Lang was also curious. Knowing that this was the location of a branch of the Broken Sword, why would so many reincarnators still come here to commit evil deeds? Wasn't this just provoking trouble?
"Because most reincarnators come here not to cause trouble."
The person who answered Zhang Lang was a woman dressed in professional attire, wearing glasses, with a dignified appearance and a beautiful face.
Her name is Chu Ya, and she's the department head in the Broken Sword responsible for mission distribution and acceptance. Zhang Lang remembers seeing her behind Ning Yi during the hero selection; she's a hero from Altar No. 3, so she must hold a high position in the Broken Sword.
This senior executive of the group was assigned to specifically handle Zhang Lang's mission, which shows that Ning Yi still values him highly.
"Despite possessing extraordinary power, reincarnators are still human. In the main world, they still need to live and pursue fame and fortune. Compared to other places, Donghai City offers more opportunities and a more convenient lifestyle. It gathers talents from all over the Eastern Continent, and reincarnators with special abilities are naturally willing to come here to seek opportunities."
"These reincarnators who gather here originally only wanted to pursue a better life, but people inevitably encounter various problems in life. Ordinary people will only act according to worldly rules, but those who have extraordinary powers will naturally try to use the power of the altar to solve problems when they encounter intractable troubles."
"In most cases, supernatural powers are indeed useful, but if used improperly, they can cause even greater trouble or harm. And the various magical items they bring can also cause even more trouble."
"So, it's not that Donghai City attracts reincarnators to commit crimes, but rather that Donghai City attracts everyone. It's just that reincarnators are more likely to do outrageous things."
As she spoke, Chu Ya pushed up her glasses and winked at Zhang Lang: "For example, weren't you also drawn to the East China Sea?"
Zhang Lang nodded, then looked at Chu Ya: "What if I also do something out of line? How would you deal with me?"
This question surprised Chu Ya.
She is the head of the group's mission department, and all missions related to the Broken Sword, not just in Donghai City, must pass through her eyes. Over the years, countless reincarnators have had bounties placed on their heads for committing crimes, and she always manages to find the right people to deal with these "problem individuals."
But Zhang Lang's words caused Chu Ya's mind to go blank for a moment.
She had witnessed Zhang Lang's efficiency in completing missions these past few days, and the Broken Sword's intelligence network covered the entire Shen Clan. Although she hadn't seen Zhang Lang's performance in these two missions firsthand, she had heard about it.
Chu Ya knew that the man before her was incredibly powerful, perhaps even surpassing Ning Yi...
If someone like that really commits a crime, who should she assign to arrest him?
Does the entire Broken Sword possess the ability to control it?
Seeing that Chu Ya was stunned, Zhang Lang casually picked up the task sheet he had just received:
"A cannibalistic dog?"
"Oh..." Chu Ya also snapped out of her reverie, automatically ignoring the previous topic: "Initially, it was just a report of a vicious dog attacking someone. According to witnesses, the dog had speed and jumping ability beyond that of ordinary creatures. Therefore, the Broken Sword intervened in the investigation, initially sending ordinary agents, but they were all killed and eaten by the dog. The organization realized the seriousness of the problem and began sending Reincarnators to deal with it, but they found that the dog was unusually powerful; one Reincarnator even died in its mouth, so we..."
"Alright..." Zhang Lang interrupted Chu Ya's introduction, "I'll see for myself..."
After Zhang Lang left, Chu Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Strange, why was I suddenly so talkative just now..."
According to the mission description, man-eating hounds are active along the riverbank in the southern part of the city. Zhang Lang arrived at the target location, unleashed his spiritual sense, and attempted to search for any clues about the hounds.
Soon, Zhang Lang heard unusual dog barking coming from afar.
But along with the barking of dogs came the sounds of fighting and a child crying.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Lang followed the sound and arrived at a secluded grove of trees in a riverside park.
Sure enough, there, Zhang Lang saw a huge hunting dog exuding a strange black aura, baring its teeth and growling. Near the dog, a boy of about seven or eight years old sat slumped on the ground, with deep bite marks on his ankle, bleeding profusely, clearly having been attacked by the dog.
At that moment, a tall, short-haired girl stood in front of the boy, confronting the hunting dog.
Upon seeing the girl's face clearly, Zhang Lang couldn't help but cry out.
"Su Jie?"
Hearing his call, Su Jie turned around, her face beaming with surprise: "Zhang Lang?"
Just then, the hunting dog on the other side seized the opportunity when Su Jie was distracted, and suddenly pounced on her with a surge of black energy!
The hounds' attack was sudden and swift, but they were still far from being able to injure someone right under Zhang Lang's nose.
Zhang Lang almost instinctively intended to raise his hand to tidy up the hunting dog, but he suddenly paused, turned his head slightly, and looked at Su Jie.
It turned out that Su Jie had also noticed the hound's attack. The girl's brows furrowed, her hands crossed, and a faint energy covered her arms. She raised her hands and grabbed the giant dog's upper and lower jaws, then twisted them to the side with force, slamming the giant dog to the ground with a loud bang!
The giant dog's attack was blocked, but it was not about to give up. It struggled on the ground trying to get up!
Just then, a black aura suddenly spread from Su Jie's chest outwards, quickly covering her arms and abdomen. Then, two pitch-black knives appeared from her wrists and pierced the giant dog's throat and heart respectively!
It's the Night Armor, but it's clearly been upgraded and turned into portable equipment that can be worn at any time!
Looking at the giant dog again, its vital organs were pierced, and the black aura around its body immediately dissipated. It struggled for only a couple of moments before becoming motionless, and its corpse shrank to the size of an ordinary hunting dog...
