After the internet was disconnected, I connected to the magic world.

The bus station was packed with people, including passengers carrying bags, drivers soliciting passengers, and vendors selling snacks.

More than twenty plainclothes officers were scattered among the crowd, including police officers from the train station police station, traffic police, and criminal police officers brought by Captain Wang.

Everyone had a gun tucked into their waistband, and their eyes swept over everyone wearing hats and masks.

On the rooftop of the residential building opposite, a sniper was already in position, his scope pointed at the station square, ready at any moment.

The higher-ups have given a strict order: Lu Ming must not be allowed to escape, and he must not be allowed to take hostages.

The plainclothes officers mingled in the crowd, pretending to be passengers waiting for a train, looking around.

A police officer in a black T-shirt leaned against a pillar, pretending to play on his phone. His eyes swept across the entrance to the station, and then he suddenly paused.

A young man wearing a black baseball cap was walking towards the ticket gate with his head down. His height and build matched those of Lu Ming in the photo.

He glanced at it a couple more times.

With just those two glances, Xiao Lu immediately noticed.

Now that he was a martial artist, his senses were much sharper than those of ordinary people. The scrutinizing gaze that fell upon him sent a chill down his spine like a needle.

He didn't turn around or run away, as if he hadn't noticed anything. He kept walking slowly towards the crowd and blended into a group of migrant workers carrying large and small bags.

The police officer frowned, pretended to take out his phone, and secretly compared Xiao Lu's photo.

it's him!

He immediately pressed the earpiece, his voice very low: "Target spotted!"

"He's walking from the entrance to the waiting hall, wearing a black T-shirt and black hat, about 1.78 meters tall. All units, please be careful, approach slowly, don't startle him."

Upon receiving the message, the plainclothes officers moved discreetly toward the waiting hall, pretending to be casual, and slowly formed an encirclement.

Xiao Lu hadn't gone far when he realized something was wrong.

There was a man in a short-sleeved shirt in front of me, who seemed to be buying water, but his eyes kept glancing in my direction.

The police officer who had been watching him earlier followed him from a distance.

He looked up and saw Captain Wang leading two people, walking quickly towards him from the doorway.

We are surrounded.

Xiao Lu's heart sank, and his eyes instantly hardened.

Instead of squeezing into the crowded area, he turned around and ran towards the less crowded security checkpoint, trying to rush through the security checkpoint and get out.

"Don't let him get away!"

Captain Wang shouted, channeled his inner strength, and rushed forward in a few strides, grabbing Xiao Lu's shoulder.

Xiao Lu turned around and threw a punch, the fist carrying a gust of wind.

Team Leader Wang dodged to the side, then grabbed Xiao Lu's wrist with a backhand grappling move and slammed his knee into Xiao Lu's stomach.

"Thump!"

Xiao Lu groaned in pain, broke free from Captain Wang's hand, and took two steps back.

The two started fighting in the waiting room.

Xiao Lu is just an ordinary office worker who has never learned martial arts. He relies entirely on his internal energy to fight randomly, without any strategy or method.

Team Leader Wang had practiced systematic military boxing and basic martial arts. Grappling and fighting were ingrained in his bones. He dodged and weaved, and every move he made hit Xiao Lu's weaknesses.

The wind from the punches howled, and the tiles where the two were fighting were cracked. A nearby plastic chair was swept away by the force of the punches and flew a long distance.

"Police! Don't panic! Move out in an orderly manner!"

The plainclothes officers pulled out their police badges, held them up, and shouted to disperse the crowd, "We're police officers! We're on a case! Everyone, keep your distance!"

Xiao Lu took several punches from Captain Wang, his mouth was bleeding, and his eyes were getting redder and redder.

He knew he couldn't win, and if he continued fighting, he would definitely be captured.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a little girl, about five or six years old, standing next to him, crying in fear. Her mother had probably gone to buy tickets, leaving her standing there alone.

Xiao Lu rushed over, grabbed the little girl by the neck, and shielded her in front of him.

"Don't come any closer!"

He roared with red eyes, and with a slight increase in pressure, the little girl immediately couldn't breathe, her face turned red, and tears streamed down her face.

"Lu Ming! Release the child!" Captain Wang immediately stopped firing, pointing his gun at him. "You can't escape now, surrender!"

"Surrender?" Xiao Lu laughed, tears streaming down his face.

"Why should I surrender? That beast murdered my girlfriend, bribed people, and it's been six months, has anyone done anything about it?!"

How many girls has he harmed? Have you police done anything about it?! If the law can't handle him, I will! Was I wrong to kill him?!

The plainclothes officers around them fell silent.

They had all read the case file before they came and knew what had happened. To be honest, they all privately thought that Xiao Lu did the right thing; that kind of beast deserved to die.

But they are police officers, and murder is a crime; they have to arrest them.

"I know you've been wronged," Captain Wang said, softening his voice slightly.

"You are a martial artist, and the country is in dire need of people like you right now. If you surrender yourself, I will personally find you the best lawyer to expose the Zhang family's bribery and connections. At most, you will be sentenced to a few years, and you can still serve the country after you get out."

Release the child; don't hurt innocent people.

"Innocent?" Xiao Lu shook his head, his grip tightening.

"Isn't my girlfriend innocent? Aren't the girls he harmed innocent too?!"

You officials, all you know is to side with the capitalists! Don't the lives of ordinary people matter?!

"Stop talking nonsense! Put the gun down! Get the car ready! Or I'll strangle her!"

The little girl had already started rolling her eyes, and her little arms and legs were flailing about.

Team Leader Wang's heart sank.

He knew that Xiao Lu had now suffered a mental breakdown. The tension from his first murder, the fear of being hunted, and the resentment and hatred from the past six months had all piled up together, causing him to lose his mind.

If this drags on any longer, the child will die.

Team Leader Wang slightly raised his hand, giving a signal to the sniper on the rooftop.

"Bang!"

The sound of gunfire, fitted with a silencer, was almost inaudible in the noisy station.

A bloody hole instantly appeared on Xiao Lu's forehead.

His eyes were still open. He slowly loosened his grip on the little girl's neck, swayed, and fell straight to the ground, his blood staining the tiles beneath him.

Team Leader Wang rushed forward, picked up the little girl, patted her back, and the little girl burst into tears.

"The child is alright." Captain Wang breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Xiao Lu on the ground, checked his breath, and found that he was no longer breathing.

The surrounding passengers slowly gathered around, looking at the body on the ground, but no one spoke.

After a while, an older woman sighed softly, "This young man... he's a pitiful person too."

"Yes, I heard that his girlfriend was killed by that rich second-generation. He sued for half a year but no one cared, so he had no choice but to kill her."

"Sigh, if only the law had stood up for them sooner, this wouldn't have happened."

Listening to the surrounding discussions and looking at Xiao Lu's lifeless face on the ground, Captain Wang remained silent for a long time before waving his hand: "Let's call it a day."
