My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

Lu Zhao quickly realized what was happening, grabbed his phone from the table, and began reading rapidly:

"A Spirit Clan attack has occurred at the Chang'an Road intersection in Yongling City. Mission level B+. Please send at least two team members to the target location immediately to handle the incident!"

Two people...

She glanced at Li Manqiu instinctively, hesitated before standing up, and asked, "Is anyone from your second team here right now?"

Captain Li shook his head solemnly.

That's true. It's not even 8 o'clock yet. The Department of Spirits Management is a typical 9-to-6 office. Even if someone comes early, it's impossible for them to arrive an hour early.

“The situation is urgent, and it’s not convenient for them to take over the task remotely right now,” Li Manqiu began to analyze quickly. “Since it’s just the two of us here, we’ll handle it.”

Eh?

Has there ever been a precedent for Team One and Team Two working together to handle an incident?

Before Lu Zhao could even search for any relevant memories, Li Manqiu pressed the button to accept the mission and, without saying a word, grabbed her arm and led her out of the cafeteria.

"The situation is urgent, we shouldn't waste any more time!"

Hearing the other person's cold reprimand, Lu Zhao followed closely behind her, subconsciously shrinking his neck.

So this person is this fierce when doing tasks?

No wonder the second team's mission completion rate has always been so high. Compared to the second team, and then thinking back to the first team's lazy and undisciplined attitude when they went to carry out missions...

Lu Zhao himself felt a little guilty, so the team that was almost crippled really needed to look for problems within themselves.

They quickly took the elevator to the 33rd floor, and the two got into the vehicle together. Before she could even speak, Li Manqiu directly entered the target location, and the vehicle started moving immediately.

Feeling the inertia brought about by the acceleration that made even the human body feel a little squeezed, Lu Zhao subconsciously wanted to close his eyes, but heard a deep voice beside him: "Sorry, I pulled you over here so rashly without asking your opinion."

She turned her head, and from this angle, she could just see Li Manqiu's superior profile. Under the surrounding blue light and shadow, which was full of technological feel, her originally calm expression seemed to soften a little.

"Ahem!" she coughed lightly. "It's nothing. You said it yourself, the situation was urgent, it's just to resolve the matter more quickly."

Li Manqiu tilted her head slightly, her deep blue eyes gazing intently at her, her thin lips pressed tightly together, lost in thought.

Lu Zhao felt awkward under her gaze. Just as he was about to look away, he heard an electronic female voice remind him, "We are about to arrive at our destination."

As expected of you, the high-tech vehicle that claims to be able to reach anywhere in the city in one minute!

She mentally gave the chariot a thumbs up for being so attentive to the atmosphere, then quickly turned her head back and solemnly reminded him, "Sit down first, we're almost there."

A few seconds later, she realized that the gaze on her face had disappeared, and she silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Stop thinking about all that, focusing on completing tasks is the most important thing!

Chapter 85 Troublesome Mission

Chang'an Road is located between Chunshan District and Xiahua District, which are under the jurisdiction of Yongling City, and is considered a major transportation route.

In addition, the road conditions here are quite complicated, with overpasses, tunnels, intersections, and a lot of vehicles and people. Especially on weekday mornings like today, around eight o'clock, many commuters inevitably speed up to save time, which often leads to traffic accidents.

After finally finding a parking space nearby, the two got out of the car and headed straight for the location indicated by the incident, which was the central area of ​​the Chang'an Road intersection.

At that time, many cars were honking their horns on the road that had been closed due to the accident, venting their dissatisfaction with the delay.

In the middle of the road, a woman covered in blood was holding an unconscious man and crying loudly, with bright red bloodstains splattered on the asphalt.

Not far away, a white sedan, almost totaled by something, was parked on the side of the road, its body covered in bloodstains that were truly shocking.

The whole scene looked absolutely horrific.

Several people dressed as traffic police had already marked out an area with roadblocks, preventing other vehicles from passing through, and were also calling for an ambulance on their walkie-talkies, urging them to arrive as soon as possible.

Although it's terrible, it looks like a normal car accident, doesn't it?

Lu Zhao ran over from a distance, glanced at the woman who was still crying with pity, and took out his work ID to the traffic policeman in front of him, saying, "We are special envoys from the Spirit Management Bureau. We came here after receiving an alarm. Can you tell us what exactly happened?"

The work permits were passed around, and finally a traffic policeman who looked older politely returned them, and also welcomed them in.

“Since you two are special envoys from the Bureau of Spirits Management, then I won’t hide anything from you.” The traffic policeman began to explain as he led them away.

At around 7:47 this morning, a white sedan passed by. Because there weren't many cars around at that time, the car was going a little faster.

Unexpectedly, an "innocent passerby" happened to be passing by the intersection, and the person and the car collided without any apparent cause.

Logically speaking, when a car hits a pedestrian, the pedestrian is usually the one who gets injured.

The truth is that the driver and his wife, feeling guilty for hitting someone and afraid of taking responsibility, simply tried to flee. However, the victim, who had been thrown several meters by them, inexplicably stood up and walked towards them with blood all over his head.

In a state of shock and fear, the driver stepped on the gas again, knocking the victim to the ground.

However, something unexpected happened at this point.

The "victim" was awakened on the spot due to the two consecutive violent impacts.

Based on the surveillance video, it is preliminarily determined that this person's ability is of the strength type, and that the ability was already at the B-rank level as soon as it was awakened.

Lu Zhao knew that the awakening time of the Spirit Race varied, sometimes lasting a whole day, sometimes only a dozen minutes. But regardless of the length, each Spirit Race member was never fully conscious during the awakening period.

In the surveillance footage, after entering a state of awakening, the woman clearly went into a frenzy. She got up from the ground, smashed the windshield of the car with a single punch, and dragged the man out of the driver's seat.

Then came a brutal beating.

The scene was too bloody for Lu Zhao to bear, and he subconsciously turned his head away, only to find that Li Manqiu next to him was staring intently at the scene on the phone monitor, showing no sign of discomfort whatsoever.

So strong...

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Seemingly noticing that Lu Zhao was spying on her, Li Manqiu frowned slightly, glanced at her, and coldly reminded her, "Don't get distracted."

Lu Zhao turned his head away in surprise, only to see that the "victim," a member of the Spirit Clan, had been brutally beating the man for nearly seven or eight minutes before being stopped by the passing car owner.

At this moment, she seemed to finally come to her senses. Seeing her hands covered in blood, she seemed unable to bear the shock and hurriedly fled before passersby and drivers could call the police.

Ugh, this is a really painful incident.

Lu Zhao frowned repeatedly. Anyone with eyes could see that the problem was primarily the fault of the car owner. Driving fast in this area, running red lights, and not slowing down at the crosswalk caused the innocent female pedestrian to be knocked down.

Secondly, after hitting the person, they not only tried to run away, but also hit the victim a second time after seeing him get up, as if they were afraid he wouldn't die.

In this situation, there's no way to defend this person anymore; they're simply both stupid and wicked.

If it were an ordinary case, the matter would have ended there. But the victim awakened as a spirit at this critical juncture and then turned around and beat the other person up like this.

Judging from this situation, the car owner will either die or be maimed.

Judging from the victim's figure in the video, the two blows she was hit earlier must have been largely healed by the energy that burst forth from her body during her awakening period; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to escape so easily in the end.

However, that's where the trouble lies.

The public's tolerance for the Spirit Race is already low. Even if the driver was at fault, some people will still bring it up and say that the victim dared to kill someone in the street just because she was a member of the Spirit Race.

Once the incident escalates, the only trending topic on the internet will likely be "Elders kill people in the street and then flee." If public opinion spreads, it will have a negative impact on all Elders and the Elder Management Bureau.

Looking up at the car owner and his wife, Lu Zhao's heart sank. He saw that an ambulance had arrived to take him back. He said to Li Manqiu, "Follow them. We can't let anything else happen to them."

"Okay, I'll go with you and take a look. You stay here and continue the investigation." Captain Li didn't hesitate. After negotiating with the medical staff, he boarded the ambulance without any problems.

Lu Zhao sighed, squinted at the nearly totaled car not far away, and turned to the traffic police, saying, "Could you please give me a backup of the surveillance video, and also send a tow truck to take that car back to the Lingzhi Bureau?"

"no problem!"

Now that Li Manqiu has gone to keep an eye on the car owner, the most urgent task is to find the victim and bring her under control so that she can no longer lose control and harm innocent passersby.

"Hello," she dialed Chi Ying's number without thinking, "I know you're not at work yet, but I have an important favor to ask you. Could you please find out the whereabouts of the female spirit who beat someone up on Chang'an Road today and then ran away? Yes! Get me the information as soon as possible!"

Chapter 86 The Female Lead's Personal Car Arrives

Turn right at Chang'an Road and you'll find the Chunshan District, a mountainous area with the lowest population density in Yongling City. It's also a popular tourist destination, and I've heard that there's a beautiful lake called Chunyue Lake there, attracting many visitors every spring.

Turning left onto Chang'an Road leads to the bustling Xia Hua District, marking the true beginning of Yongling City.

In addition, there are the Autumn District and the Winter Saint District, which will not be discussed here.

It's still winter, so if the victim wanted to escape, she would have run to a less crowded area. From Xia Hua District onwards, there are people everywhere. She was covered in blood, so she would have been easily noticed.

So, they must have fled to the Chunshan District area, right?

Lu Zhao took out his portable radar and, through analysis of the residual psionic energy fluctuations at the scene, confirmed that the owner of this energy had fled to the right.

"The police will be conducting a search later. Protect the scene and wait for me to finish looking for the person before they come back."

After giving a quick instruction to the traffic policeman beside him, Lu Zhao took the radar and chased after the direction indicated on it.

From the time the incident occurred until they arrived here, it took less than ten minutes. Even if they listened to the traffic police explain the cause of the incident in between, the total time spent would not exceed half an hour.

Judging from the distance from Chang'an Road to the mountain entrance, even if the victim's speed was much faster due to her awakened psychic abilities, the other party should not have entered the mountain in just half an hour.

As long as you don't go into the mountains, it will be much easier to find.

Once seated in the chariot, after setting the tracking target, the already invisible chariot now floated up, passing over the vehicles still blocking the intersection, and sped towards the target.

Wow, this thing is so high-tech!

Lu Zhao couldn't help but look out the window at the view below, and was once again deeply moved.

Flight has always been a dream of humankind.

Although airplanes in that world could make people fly into the blue sky, she had never imagined a scene like this, flying at low altitude and high speed.

It is said that a special material is laid beneath the entire surface of Yongling City, which can provide energy to the tanks and allow them to reach any part of the city in a short time.

The technology in this world is ten years more advanced than that world, and the technology possessed by the Bureau of Spirits is at least twenty years more advanced.

Hmm... So, by time-traveling once, she can enjoy the cutting-edge technology of at least thirty years in the future, and even if she travels back in time, she can use it as a topic of conversation.

With that in mind, the chariot stopped in front of a scenic spot.

Well, there shouldn't be any more materials left to keep the chariot moving around here, so we'll have to move on our own.

Lu Zhao felt a little regretful, but also felt that it was reasonable.

After all, the technology here is only thirty years ahead, not three hundred years ahead.

She had just unplugged the radar and gotten out of the car when she received a phone call.

"Hello?" Chi Ying's voice came from the other end. "I've found out her identity and pinpointed her location. Where are you now?"

Why ask her?
