My cells devour all worlds.

Lu Sheng's face was deathly pale, veins bulged on his forehead, large beads of sweat dripped down, and his expression betrayed his undisguised pain.

Most of his hair was singed, and his clothes were tattered and covered in burn marks.

The exposed skin on her back looked as if it had been scorched in a raging fire, red and black, and pitted and covered with tiny fragments.

Most seriously, Lu Sheng's right hand was mostly gone, leaving less than half of it, revealing charred bone and mangled flesh, and blood was still seeping out.

Drops fell to the ground.

It felt as if it had struck someone's heart.

Yu Qingyi's voice began to tremble as she reached out her hand, "Brother Lu, your hand..."

Yu Qingxuan stared blankly, her vision fixed solely on the severed arm.

"Don't move, I'm fine."

Lu Sheng grimaced, as if his wound had been touched.

Lu Sheng wasn't lying; he was really fine.

If he hadn't been worried that the two wouldn't be able to withstand it, he would have protected them with most of his true energy; otherwise, he wouldn't have even been injured.

It does hurt a bit, but I don't know if I experienced more intense pain in previous mission worlds.

Lu Sheng felt it was acceptable.

As for his injuries, in the corner of his mind, several animals with strong regenerative abilities were already stirring, just waiting for his call.

If Lu Sheng wanted to, whether it was a severed arm or burns, he could fully recover in a short time.

But he can't.

Because Lu Sheng had already sensed that someone was coming.

"Rage—"

A cry of an eagle rang out, and a large, dark shadow was projected from the sky.

Then, there was the sound of something falling.

"Boom—"

Amidst billowing dust, Shi Yi, his face grim, landed in the courtyard, creating a large crater.

Shi Yi didn't even bend his legs, taking a step forward without feeling anything.

He recognized Lu Sheng at a glance. "It's you, kid. What happened here?"

Lu Sheng then released the two men, pointing in a direction, his voice suddenly becoming much weaker, "Over there, someone fired a shot..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi suddenly turned his head.

The black eagle in the sky suddenly descended, and a voice came down.

"Captain Shi, there are people on the roof over there!"

Shi Yi bent his knees slightly, about to move.

next second.

"boom--"

A sudden burst of intense red light erupted from the rooftop in the distance, accompanied by a thunderous explosion.

In just a few breaths, a corner of the multi-story building was blown off by the explosion.

Broken stones and bricks were falling down with a clatter.

Hua Feiying, who had just approached, was swayed from side to side by the violent shockwave, and it took her a while to regain her balance.

Shi Yi froze, his face ashen.

A moment later, the black eagle that Hua Feiying had transformed into flew over.

"Captain Shi, the man is dead. Only a few bone fragments remain on the spot. The enemy probably used an explosive ant bomb."

When he said the last three words, Black Hawk's face showed a human-like sense of lingering fear.

Fortunately, he didn't get too close immediately, otherwise he probably would have been gone too.

Then they looked at Lu Sheng as if he were a monster, unable to understand how he had survived with only one arm missing.

"Exploding ant bombs? Those guys are really fearless."

Shi Yi frowned. Those were bullets made from a material found inside explosive ants.

Exploding ants may appear harmless, but they will deliberately detonate themselves when threatened, and their power is considerable.

Later, some people used the contents of the exploding ants to make bullets and explosives, especially when a large amount of material was gathered together, the power was extremely great.

It's not very stable and is prone to self-destruction.

"What happened? Did someone make a move in the inner city?"

"Damn it, who the hell is so reckless as to use something this powerful in the inner city?"

"The city guards are here. Looks like this is going to be interesting..."

The two consecutive explosions immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This area was originally a gathering place for most of the awakened teams, and each of them was highly skilled and daring, daring to get closer to take a look.

"Call people over to clean up the mess, and get the investigation team here to find out where they came from and who did it!"

Noticing the increasing number of people, Shi Yi instructed Hua Feiying.

"Yes."

Hua Feiying immediately accepted the order and left.

Shi Yi came to Lu Sheng's side, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes as he saw the injuries on Lu Sheng's body.

He knew that this kid had definitely been holding back during the previous test; a level 1 Awakened One couldn't withstand the impact of the Exploding Ant Bomb.

It's at least at the level of a seasoned Level 2 Awakener.

However, Shi Yi didn't say anything more. It was the other party's freedom, and it was none of his business.

As long as the other party doesn't commit any crimes within the inner city, it's fine.

"Do you know who did this? What did you do to deserve this? You made them disregard the inner city's prohibitions and try to take you down."

Shi Yi asked.

"cough……"

Lu Sheng coughed up blood, pretending to be swaying and barely holding on, and replied:

"We killed someone in the outer city of the East District before. That person was the younger brother of the captain of the Sirius Squad. That should be what caused this incident."

The fact that the Sirius Squad had offered a bounty on the two sisters was no secret, so Lu Sheng simply told them.

He also wanted to see how the city guards would react to the matter.

Is it about following the rules and gathering evidence, or about taking decisive action whenever there is suspicion?

If it's the latter, he won't need to worry about anything else; the city guards will definitely make an example of him to deter others.

If it's the former, the other party must have made preparations to dare to take action, and it will most likely end without any resolution.

But Lu Sheng wouldn't talk to the other party about the evidence.

Lu Sheng had already decided that if the city guards didn't take action, he would go himself.

Let's deal with this potential problem before we leave.

Although it's a bit of a coincidence, we can't really suspect him because he's "disabled," can we?

Thinking this, Lu Sheng swayed again, as if he was about to give up.

"Brother Lu!"

Seeing this, Yu Qingyi and the other woman quickly surrounded them.

She wanted to reach out but was afraid of touching Lu Sheng's injuries, so she could only support Lu Sheng's uninjured parts and let Lu Sheng lean against her.

She then glared angrily at Shi Yi.

Why isn't this person leaving? Can't you see Brother Lu is about to die?

"..."

Shi Yi didn't press the matter further. "I understand the Sirius Squad. If I can find any evidence against them, I will remove them from the inner city."

He glanced at Lu Sheng and said:

"But don't get your hopes up too high. The person who did it was so decisive in committing suicide that they must have made thorough preparations."

Shi Yi thought for a moment, then took out a green vial from his pocket and stuffed it into the hand of Yu Qingyi, who was staring at him.

"This healing potion is somewhat effective for your injury. Tsk, it's just a pity you didn't keep your hand, otherwise I could have someone reattach it for you. In any case, this matter is somewhat related to our city guards."

After saying that, Shi Yi said no more, took a few steps away from the three of them, and then bent his knees.

The ground suddenly caved in, and Shi Yi soared into the sky, heading towards the destroyed building.

A warning sound echoed through the air:

"Unrelated personnel should stay away from the scene—"

Seeing Shi Yi leave, Yu Qingxuan wanted to go out.

"I'm going to see a therapist..."

Although she knew some medical skills, she was helpless in the face of such severe injuries.

Lu Sheng pulled Yu Qingxuan back and said telepathically, "No need, trust me."

He'll recover in no time; seeing a therapist might actually expose his secret.

Yu Qingxuan had no choice but to stop and, together with Yu Qingyi, helped Lu Sheng into the room.

Once he felt that the outside world was blocked by the house, Lu Sheng's feigned weakness vanished instantly, and he straightened up, shaking off the two people's support.

"I already told you I'm fine."

He swung his left hand, accidentally aggravating his wound, and couldn't help but gasp.

"hiss……"

"You're lying, you've lost your hands."

Tears welled up in Yu Qingyi's eyes. She wanted to touch him but dared not, afraid of hurting Lu Sheng.

Tears finally streamed down my face.

Yu Qingxuan didn't say anything, but she rubbed the hem of her clothes so hard that it was in terrible shape.

"It's nothing."

Lu Sheng could actually recover right now, but after thinking about it, he decided not to reveal his secret until he had the strength to protect it.

This is perfect for misleading others.

Yu Qingyi was crying uncontrollably.

Although Yu Qingxuan didn't cry, Lu Sheng could sense her emotions; she was worried about him.

She probably won't add extra salt to my food next time, right?

Thinking this, Lu Sheng patted Yu Qingyi's head and said, "Alright, stop crying. Quickly check if there's anything wrong with the medicine, or I'll really be gone..."
