Stop it, the country really can't fit any more bans on the domestic entertainment industry.

Inside the mediation room.

Li Mo'an was speechless.

"This system is so unreliable," he thought to himself.

He originally thought that since the police version of the super learning bonus buff had been triggered...

So what awaits him next should be those advanced skills filled with a sense of justice.

But it was this kind of unorthodox knowledge that directly filled his mind.

"But it's not entirely useless. After all, with this skill, there's no fight that can't be arranged... Bullshit, who wants to fight anyway?"

Li Mo'an sighed, speechless.

........................................

at the same time.

It's a remote area about three kilometers away from the police station.

This is on the edge of an urban village slated for demolition.

Deep in a dilapidated alley.

There was an abandoned repair shop that had closed down.

The repair shop was quiet.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of engine oil.

The light was very dim.

Old Zhang, the old policeman who received Li Mo'an at the police station before.

He was wearing an inconspicuous casual outfit at the moment.

He stood next to a pile of discarded tires.

He was holding a half-burnt cigarette between his fingers.

Standing here with him were several key colleagues from the police station.

No one spoke.

Everyone's expression was very serious.

soon.

A very faint car engine sound came from the alley entrance.

A black van with ordinary civilian license plates slowly drove into the abandoned repair shop.

The car came to a complete stop without turning off the engine.

The sliding door of the bread cart was pulled open with a "whoosh".

Several men with buzz cuts and sharp eyes came down.

Leading the way was the captain of the city's anti-drug squad.

His name is Chen Gang.

Chen Gang's expression was extremely solemn.

His eyes were bloodshot.

His chin was covered in bluish stubble, clearly indicating that he hadn't had a rest in a long time.

Old Zhang saw Chen Gang walking over.

He immediately went to meet him.

"Team Leader Chen, we've arrived," Old Zhang said in a low voice.

Old Zhang was about to ask about the key points of the next investigation.

"The previous notice said that we were to assist with routine patrols and investigations."

"Our officers at the police station have already divided the officers into groups."

"Which streets should we mainly check for rental properties?" Old Zhang asked urgently.

Chen Gang stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Old Zhang in front of him and waved his hand.

"Old Zhang, listen to me." Chen Gang's voice was extremely hoarse.

He told them with a solemn expression.

The emergency mission that was previously issued through the command center.

The so-called "using routine patrols as a pretext to assist in finding drug leads" was a sham.

Actually, it's just a way of deceiving people.

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhang and his colleagues were all stunned.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

Chen Gang took a deep breath and revealed the truth.

"We dare not issue a public announcement in a high-profile manner."

"Because this drug gang is very cunning."

"They've been operating in this area for a long time and have many informants."

"The truth is, one of our undercover agents got into trouble."

........................................

This statement came out.

The atmosphere in the repair shop instantly became incredibly heavy.

Old Zhang's fingers tightened suddenly as he held the cigarette.

The half-smoked cigarette ash fell to the ground.

The undercover agent was exposed.

This is definitely one of the worst situations in the policing system.

Especially since they were planted in a vicious drug trafficking gang.

"Has my identity been exposed?" Old Zhang swallowed hard.

Chen Gang nodded painfully.

The anti-drug squad leader began to explain the current situation in detail.

"Just a short while ago."

"The undercover agent sent out a distress signal using the emergency code we had agreed upon beforehand."

Chen Gang recalled that brief communication filled with static.

His heart clenched.

"The signal was very weak and lasted for less than three seconds."

"Then, communication was completely cut off."

"We tried various alternative contact methods."

"He then completely disappeared."

Old Zhang's brows furrowed tightly.

He knew what this meant.

This means that the undercover agent is now in a life-or-death situation.

He may have even lost the ability to move.

Chen Gang clenched his fists tightly.

He gritted his teeth and continued to explain the situation to Lao Zhang and the others.

The captain knew the drug lord's modus operandi inside and out.

They've been tracking this gang for a long time.

That drug lord was a ruthless character with a suspicious nature.

His psyche is extremely twisted.

Chen Gang's voice was filled with deep worry.

"Once that guy discovers the mole..."

"He will absolutely not give the undercover agent a quick death."

"He will use the most ruthless methods to deal with the undercover agent."

A young police officer standing next to Old Zhang couldn't help but ask, "What kind of cruel methods?"

Chen Gang glanced at him.

"That leader likes to destroy people's will."

"For example, he would have his undercover agents tied up."

"Then they forced the other party to ingest large amounts of drugs."

"He will inject a dose far exceeding the limits that the human body can tolerate."

Hearing this, the local police officers present felt their scalps tingle.

We're all police officers.

Everyone knows how terrible the consequences can be if large doses of drugs are forcibly injected into the body.

That would trigger a violent physiological reaction.

The central nervous system will suffer devastating damage.

Internal organs will fail rapidly.

Chen Gang's voice trembled slightly.

"That's the method he intends to use to completely destroy them."

"He wanted to watch a determined policeman turn into a mindless monster."

"or."

"Extreme pain can directly lead to organ failure and death."

These words struck a heavy blow to everyone's heart.

Old Zhang took a deep breath, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, and stomped it out forcefully.

"Captain Chen, what do you need us to do?" Old Zhang asked directly.

Chen Gang raised his head and glanced at the police officers in front of him.

"Therefore, the real task is to find people."

Chen Gang's tone became unquestionable.

"You are most familiar with the terrain of your jurisdiction."

"Only your local police officers know those intricate and complex alleyways in the urban villages best."

"I will pay any price."

"You must find this missing undercover agent as quickly as possible."

The captain emphasized the importance of this mission.

This undercover agent is no ordinary informant.

He had been infiltrating the enemy ranks for a long time.

On the one hand, he was an elite soldier they had painstakingly cultivated.

He controlled the core trading network of that drug trafficking gang.

He was the key figure in taking down this drug trafficking gang.

As long as he can return safely, this malignant tumor entrenched on the edge of Shanghai can be eradicated completely.

On the other hand...

Chen Gang's eyes reddened even more.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

"He's also one of my brothers."

"We joined the police force together and have carried out countless dangerous missions together."

"That was a living, breathing human life!"

Chen Gang's voice echoed through the abandoned repair shop.

"I need to make sure the other person is still alive!"

"I want to see him alive or dead!"

Upon hearing these words...

The expressions on Lao Zhang's and the other grassroots police officers' faces instantly turned extremely solemn.

They felt an immense pressure, like a mountain.

But I also felt a sense of responsibility.

That was a comrade-in-arms fighting alone in the darkness.

Now, their comrades are in dire straits.

They had no reason to back down.

Old Zhang stood up straight, his face extremely resolute.

"Team Leader Chen, don't worry. As long as he's in our jurisdiction, we'll find him even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!"

The other police officers nodded in agreement.

Time was ticking away, second by second.

Every second of delay could mean more torture for the undercover agent.

Even leading to death.

They knew that a race against death had begun.

........................................

Meanwhile, at the city center police station...

Time was ticking away, second by second.

In the mediation room on one side of the hall, policewoman Zhang Caiwei mediated the dispute over whether tofu pudding should be savory or sweet.

He came out with Li Mo'an.

The two sat down to rest in the lobby.

Meanwhile, Li Mo'an was still deep in thought because of the "negative correlation".

He began to doubt again whether the word "xíng" in "doing one thing at a time" was a form of punishment.

This was exactly the same thought he had when he unearthed the Type 97 No. 6 land-based bomb while building roads in Mushroom Village.

At the time, he felt that the skills provided by the system were somewhat unorthodox.

In retrospect, this was not an off-the-beaten-path approach at all.

This is absolutely pushing the boundaries of the law.

He originally wanted to experience police life and learn some legitimate criminal investigation methods.

As a result, the system directly gave him a master-level plus version of the "Challenge" skill because someone else was fighting.

"So, this system assumes anything related to crime is connected to the police, right?" Li Mo'an thought to himself, speechless.

Just as he was sitting in the chair, idly complaining about the system.

The glass door of the police station was pushed open shakily from the outside.

With the sound of the door hinges turning, a man walked in.

The man looked extremely disheveled.

He was soaking wet.

It looked as if it had just been pulled out of the water.

Water droplets trickled down his clothes and trouser legs, leaving a trail of obvious water stains on the floor.

The man's condition was very abnormal.

As he walked inside, he wiped his face haphazardly with the back of his hand.

Tears and snot flowed uncontrollably.

His face looked very blank, and his eyes were completely unfocused.

The man's lips trembled slightly, and he was muttering incoherently to himself.

"Call the police..."

"Call the police..."
