Chapter 369 Citywide Manhunt: All Bandits Captured!

When Glory City is at peace, professionals cannot use any of their abilities within the city.

Therefore, it is impossible to fight in the city.

However, if professional combat is not feasible, humans still have primitive fighting methods.

In this respect, the pampered Shi family was no match for Yue Sheng, who had fought against evil professionals for many years and was a veteran of countless battles.

When Wang Miao finished the call, he found Shi Qi lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, while Shi Ji and Shi Youping had already been handcuffed by Yue Sheng with Abyss Rock handcuffs.

"What's wrong...?"

Yue Sheng clapped his hands.

"Two fugitives were captured."

Shi Ji wanted to cry but had no tears.

"When did I become a fugitive? Yue Sheng! Why do I feel like you're targeting the Shi family?"

Yue Sheng snorted coldly.

"The First Garrison Regiment was originally confined to the city. If you don't take them out of the city to suppress some bandits, will they die? The garrison is weak. If something happens, neither you nor the Shi family can afford the consequences!"

The times were not in compliance.

"If you're unhappy with the Shi family, just say so! Stop with all these excuses! What could possibly happen now?! The Abyss invasion won't happen until the second half of the year, and it's only a few months now!"

Yue Sheng was too lazy to waste words with them and simply took the two regimental commanders away.

The two will be held in jail in the main city, awaiting their formal trial.

As for Shi Qi, he hadn't done anything wrong, so Yue Sheng naturally didn't care about him.

Seeing Shi Ji and the other person being taken away, Shi Qi was furious, but he had more important things to do right now.

"Team Leader Wang, what did they say?"

Wang Miao nodded.

"Agreed. I will issue you the official Abyssal Rock handcuffs. From this moment forward, you will concentrate all available personnel, except for the garrison regiment, in Glory City to cooperate with our fifteen groups in apprehending the bandits within the city!"

Shi Qi burst into laughter.

"Great! Team Leader Wang, don't worry. The bandits outside the city are hard to catch, but those inside are a piece of cake! They can't even use self-destruction while they're inside. As long as we catch them before they escape Glory City, there's no chance of failure!"

Wang Miao sighed.

"That's what they say..."

Wang Miao knew perfectly well that skills couldn't be used in the city.

Even so, his intuition told him that the bandits would still self-destruct if they wanted to.

Yue Sheng, who had just arrived downstairs, twitched his ears and, without making a sound, led Shi Ji and the other person back to the prison.

A massive manhunt has begun.

The city of Glory was filled with the sounds of panic and fear.

All four main city gates were closed simultaneously.

A large number of members of the Shi family and the Shi family's invested guilds, holding Abyssal Rock handcuffs, were running around and gathering in the city.

Shi Qi personally directed the defense of the entire city, setting up an inescapable net, determined that not a single bandit in the city could escape!

Since it involved dark artifacts, elite investigation teams drawn from cities across the region naturally became involved.

Professional abilities cannot be used in the city, but the Special Bureau has a lot of professional high-tech equipment and is first-class in catching people.

Logically, the law enforcement team should also provide assistance.

However, Yue Sheng refused to participate, citing a large-scale conflict within the Fourth Guard City and the inability to spare manpower to assist the main city.

"Start arresting them!"

Shi Qi gave the order.

The Shi family mobilized over a thousand members of the Shi clan and guilds, along with the Special Bureau's investigation team, to carry out a lightning-fast arrest operation against the bandits roaming throughout the city.

"Why are you arresting me?! What the hell did I break?!"

"You surnamed Shi! You dare to arrest me? Do you know who I am... mmm mmm!!"

"I'm not a bandit! I'm a cosplayer! I'm livestreaming! Come on, say hello to everyone in the livestream room~"

The citywide arrest operation drew considerable attention.

When they discovered that the Shi family was arresting bandits, many people were immediately furious.

"No way, they can exploit this bug like that? Are they taking advantage of the bandits' inability to self-destruct in the city? Did the Shi family pull a dirty trick?"

"The Special Affairs Bureau is also involved; they are probably authorized by the Special Affairs Bureau to enforce the law."

"What crime did the bandits commit?"

"Even if it's a violation of regulations, shouldn't it be the law enforcement team making the arrests? Why is it the Special Affairs Bureau?"

"Damn it! Could it be that those high-ranking officials in the Special Affairs Bureau are also members of the Shi family, and they're settling personal scores for each other?"

The Shi family's operation went very smoothly.

In the lobby of the Special Bureau's office, dozens of bandits squatted on the ground, their hands handcuffed with abyssal rock. Although their hoods were still on, their faces were covered with soundproof masks, preventing them from speaking.

Shi Qi walked back and forth in front of the dozens of bandits with his hands behind his back.

"Hmph, bandits, this is what happens when you oppose the Shi family! Now that you're in Glory City, your self-destruction tactics won't work, will they? This place is much more effective than the Silence Control Tower, isn't it!"

Seeing many bandits struggling and stretching their heads forward, Shi Qi knew they wanted to speak and try to argue.

"Don't give me that crap. Everyone knows you bandits are the best talkers! But hold on, the real show is just beginning. Later, I'll hang you all on the city wall. I'm curious to see if your buddies outside the city will come to rescue you, only to walk right into our trap."

There were many onlookers outside the Special Bureau office.

"Damn it! That's despicable! Shi Qi, how can you, the garrison commander, resort to such underhanded tactics!"

"Wang Miao! I misjudged you! You actually aided and abetted the wicked!"

"That's right! Everyone knows the Shi family has a grudge against the bandits. For the Shi family to arrest the bandits, isn't that blatantly settling a personal score?"

"Release the bandits!"

"What exactly did they do? It must be made public, or we won't accept it!"

Bandits have fans everywhere, and Glory City is no exception.

Shi Qi ignored the onlookers.

He doesn't need outsiders to understand him.

Wang Miao frowned.

"Hanging it on the city wall or something, isn't that unnecessary?"

Shi Qi said coldly.

"Team Leader Wang, have you softened your heart?"

"We should enforce the law through normal means. Moreover, the purpose of arresting drug lords is to test them. If there are no problems, they should be released. But the way you are doing it is like arresting criminals."

"If it's confirmed that one of them is a host, then everyone else is an accomplice! What else is that but breaking the law?"

Wang Miao was about to say something when Shi Qi interrupted him.

"However, before taking any further action, I don't mind finding out who these bandits really are."

Wang Miao suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Again?"

"What? Not again? You mean Shiji's live stream? Yeah, I mean the reference. Come on, get ready to stream!"

The feeling that something was wrong was growing stronger in Wang Miao's heart.

The familiar live stream begins.

Familiar family members.

"Today, let the Shi family expose the true face of the bandits! Let's start from here!"

And, familiar lines.

What was completely unexpected was...
