He just broke up with his girlfriend and is already living with the devilish rich girl.

That kind of impulse where you don't care about anything else and just want to crush the person in front of you who insulted his sister.

That kind of tyranny that wants to destroy the whole world.

Even as he crushed Sun Wei's wrist, a thought flashed through his mind.

If you're afraid of witnesses, then kill everyone here. Leave no one alive.

Bai Ziheng frowned.

Although he wasn't a saint, he was genuinely startled by the sudden appearance of such an extreme thought.

"don’t worry."

Luo Yao's voice was light and airy as she gently touched his arm.

"These are just some side effects of being devoured. You'll get through it. I'm here, everything will be alright."

Bai Ziheng remained silent for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Sun Wei, who was groaning on the ground.

Sun Wei was trembling like a leaf. Hearing footsteps, he shuddered.

The wails subsided considerably, and they desperately shrank back.

"What...what are you going to do...I'm sorry, I won't do it again, please forgive me..."

He shuffled backward, frantically digging at the ground with his good hand, but couldn't muster any strength.

Like a turtle whose shell has turned inside out, it struggled for a long time but only managed to inch forward less than half a meter.

Bai Ziheng walked up to him and looked down at the cowardly man curled up in a ball.

I was originally going to say something harsh, but now I've completely lost the mood.

"Coward."

He turned and walked toward the street corner.

Luo Yao stuck out her tongue at Zhang Ling and made a face.

"See you later, Auntie."

Then he skipped and hopped after him.

"You won't blame me for stopping you earlier, will you?"

"No, it's unexpected that you, a demon, would stop someone from killing."

"Hehe, this is a harmonious society now, so killing him wouldn't be a big deal."

Luo Yao stopped joking and her tone became more serious.

"But I suggest that you don't easily hand over everything to the desire to kill before you can control this power."

Bai Ziheng took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

"That's true. This kind of stuff is definitely not worth it."

The two disappeared side by side into the crowd.

Not far away, in a coffee shop on the street corner.

Zheng Yueyao, dressed in casual clothes, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of Americano in her hand, taking in everything that had just happened.

From Bai Ziheng's slap that knocked Sun Wei down to that crisp sound of bone cracking.

"He snapped a grown man's arm with his bare hands..."

She stared at Bai Ziheng's receding figure and murmured to herself.

"And that man's physique looks like he works out regularly."

Ordinary people could not possess such power.

She put down her coffee cup, took out her phone, and dialed the encrypted channel of the central office.

"Number 0723, Zheng Yueyao."

"A physical altercation occurred in the Linjiang Road commercial district, where a man crushed another man's arm with his bare hands."

"I suspect the man involved is an anomaly, or related to the possessed person, and I'm preparing to follow him."

The voice from the main station came through very quickly.

"Received, Yueyao. The police have also received several reports, and we have taken over the case. Be careful."

"clear."

Zheng Yueyao hung up the call and was about to follow.

My phone suddenly vibrated again; the front desk was calling me back.

"0723, immediately cease tracking. That person is not an anomaly. All alert."

Zheng Yueyao stopped in her tracks.

She held her phone, her brow furrowed.

"Not an anomaly? How could that kind of power be..."

"This is confirmed information, 0723, stop tracking immediately."

Zheng Yueyao bit her lip in resentment.

"This looks like some kind of monster committing violence in the street; ordinary police officers couldn't handle it. I'm right here, and now I can..."

The voice on the other end of the phone rang again, but this time it wasn't the operator from the front desk.

Instead, it was the Deputy Director of the Operations Department, her direct superior, Chen Guodong.

Zheng Yueyao hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button.

"Xiao Yao, it's me."

The voice on the other end was still gentle, exactly the same as it had been in the command center early this morning.

But at this moment, it sounded with a slightly unsettling solemnity.

"Just leave this matter alone."

Zheng Yueyao's knuckles turned slightly white as she gripped the phone: "Uncle Chen, can I know why?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end.

"It's better if you don't know this."

Chen Guodong's tone softened somewhat, as if he were coaxing a child.

"Aren't you off today? Take a good rest and relax. You're only 23. At this age, don't push yourself too hard. You can't catch all the oddballs. You have to think about yourself more."

"But--"

"Xiao Yao".

Chen Guodong sighed.

"obedient."

The phone hangs up.

The dial tone rang in my ears for a long time.

Zheng Yueyao stood at the entrance of the coffee shop, watching Bai Ziheng and Luo Yao disappear around the street corner. Her knuckles, gripping her phone tightly, turned slightly white from the force.

She threw the coffee cup into the trash can.

They took their first steps.

Whatever the reason, she wanted to see it for herself.

Zheng Yueyao lowered her footsteps and followed the two at a distance.

They walked through the bustling commercial street and past a bus stop without ever looking back.

Maintaining a steady, unhurried pace.

The girl walked beside the man with her hands behind her back, skipping and hopping, occasionally turning her head to lean closer and say something to him.

It sounded like she was being coquettish, or perhaps teasing.

The man, on the other hand, seemed to be in a bit of a predicament.

When the girl leaned closer, he turned his head slightly away, his ears turning slightly red.

He muttered something under his breath, but his steps unconsciously followed her rhythm.

Zheng Yueyao frowned.

"These two... are far too relaxed."

He committed a violent act in the street, crushing a grown man's arm into a comminuted fracture, while at least several dozen onlookers watched.

Countless people took photos and videos.

Logically, one should either flee the scene immediately or at least conceal their whereabouts.

But what about them?

They were chatting and laughing, as if they had just taken a walk.

Do they really think the Special Administration Bureau doesn't exist...?

"How could there be such a daring outcast?"

Zheng Yueyao muttered to herself, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"They have absolutely no intention of concealing their presence, as if they don't care at all whether they're being watched..."

However, considering what Uncle Chen just said...

Perhaps these two are really special?

Her gaze unconsciously fell on the man's back again.

Broad shoulders and steady steps.

Even as I casually stroll down the street, my back isn't completely relaxed.

That silhouette...

Zheng Yueyao's pupils contracted slightly.

He looked almost exactly like the person who fell from the sky in the rainy night at the port.

She still can't forget the back view of the person who stood in front of her and saved her back back back.

If it were for other reasons, Zheng Yueyao might not have continued pursuing the matter.

But... she wanted to find out if this man was the same person she had met at the port that day.

Zheng Yueyao bit her lip and quickened her pace.

Just then, the two people in front suddenly turned into an alley.

Zheng Yueyao's heart tightened, and she quickly chased after him.

The alleyway is not deep, with the walls of old residential buildings on both sides. In the corner, there are a few discarded cardboard boxes and a rusty shared bicycle.

At the end of the alley was a brick wall, clearly a dead end.

but--

nobody.

The alleyway was deserted; there wasn't a soul in sight.

The two people who had just turned in have vanished into thin air.

Zheng Yueyao paused for a moment, then quickly walked into the depths of the alley.

No.

There was absolutely no trace left.

There were no footsteps, no lingering scent.

Zheng Yueyao stood at the end of the alley and slowly raised her head.

"really."

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.

"These two people... are definitely outliers."

The instant she turned around—

A pair of golden, vertical pupils were right in front of him.

Luo Yao was looking at her with a smile.

On that unbelievably beautiful face, a pair of eyes emitted a cold, golden light in the dim light.
