Jiang Zhengge frowned and straightened up.

"Describe his features, and I might be able to deduce which family he belongs to."

"Have you seen him before? Do you know him?"

"Which organization is he from? What is his status?"

Jiang Zhengge's eyes widened slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"What do you mean he's just an ordinary food delivery driver who graduated from university two years ago?"

......

After leaving the scene, Lin Chen didn't rush home. Instead, he found an open space and burned the electric car with the oil he had prepared beforehand.

Then, he found an empty underpass and leaned against the wall to rest.

"call..."

My heart is pounding, beating very fast.

Lin Chen raised his hand, opening and closing his five fingers, feeling the unfamiliar yet powerful force.

The enhancements from the projection have not completely disappeared and have persisted for some time.

Optimistically, this reinforcement will continue.

A more optimistic guess is that if the experience of Optimus Prime is continued to be used for projection... it can be further enhanced.

However, there should be a limit to this enhancement. If we calculate it, it should be that Optimus Prime can maintain the strength of human form without using the suppressor.

Thinking about it, it was really a close call. If Qingtian were at his peak, even Lin Chen, after being enhanced by the projection, wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Lin Chen sighed and checked his equipment again.

There are still two pistol magazines left, and all the throwables are still available. They can still be used if we encounter an encounter.

Three Dragon Breath Bullets remain, which is a bit too few...

The good news is that the previous projection seems to have simultaneously repaired the injuries on his body, so his condition should be better in the future.

Speaking of projection...

Lin Chen closed his eyes, sensing the distant white city.

Within that pure white expanse, there seemed to be some faint blue matter floating in the air—those were leftovers from the previous projection.

Based on his sense of touch, Lin Chen estimated that the substances he had collected would allow him to complete one more "Sky-Supporting" projection.

This is the real trump card.

“…”

Lin Chen took a soft breath, leaned against the wall, and listened to the sound of rain outside the bridge arch.

Unexpected events really do happen one after another...

According to the original plan, the best outcome would be for him to carry out the assassination without revealing his identity, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape from Yudu with Huihui.

But he has already been exposed to the foundation, and there is no way he can escape now.

In this situation, fleeing Yudu is practically tantamount to suicide...

Qingtian is Ms. J's son. Lin Chen would bet that his crazy mother would do anything to dig him out and kill him.

Surely we can't fight our way out of Rain City? Lin Chen didn't think his equipment was good enough for a high-speed chase.

After considering all this, it seems that only one possibility remains.

Lin Chen closed his eyes, recalling that afternoon in his mind.

For some reason, he thought of that carefree and lively girl.

Could the sniper who supported him be from the Bureau of Investigation?

Lin Chen chuckled, leaned against the wall to stand up, and stretched his limbs.

He decided to go to the investigation bureau right now.

Only a force capable of standing up to the Foundation could possibly offer him protection.

......

Chapter 19 Second Visit to the Palace

"The Rain City Anomaly Investigation Bureau officially announced: Foundation demigod 'Optimus Prime' went out of control at today's Iron Cape Bridge rescue operation commendation ceremony and was found dead on the beach some time later."

"The Bureau of Investigation has not yet given a cause of death for Optimus Prime, while a Foundation spokesperson stated that the investigation is ongoing..."

"Jason, what do you think about this?"

"I can't believe it, bro. This is too dramatic. The foundation held the awards ceremony to dispel some... well, rumors, but with this mess today, there's no way to clean things up."

"Personally, I would like the Foundation to answer the following questions: First, why did a demigod suddenly turn into a monster? Second, who killed this powerful monster? Third, what is the truth behind the Iron Horn Bridge incident..."

"..."

While waiting at a red light, Jiang Zhengge turned off the radio and took a deep breath.

Li Zhanyi was sitting in the passenger seat, his head resting on the cushion, with a lollipop in his mouth.

"Are you sure it's that Lin Chen?" Jiang Zhengge asked again.

“Oh dear, I already told you, it really is him,” Li Zhanyi puffed out her cheeks. “You’ve asked me four or five times already.”

“I remember that kid,” Jiang Zhengge said softly, “the little girl he picked up on the bridge back then. I spoke to him, but I didn’t sense anything special about him…”

“I didn’t see that coming either,” Li Zhanyi shrugged. “Unbelievable. He suspected the Foundation wanted to kill his sister, so he just went and killed Qingtian? Is Gen Z trying to reshape the world order…?”

In the rain, the red light turned green, and the light spots were fragmented by the rain.

Jiang Zhengge focused his gaze, drove around the intersection, and sped towards the Investigation Bureau.

“I remember you arranged for spies to protect that girl named Huihui,” Jiang Zhengge said. “Any news from there?”

“Unexpectedly, nothing happened,” Li Zhanyi shook his head. “If he was the one who shot Qingtian in the square, then he would be an open secret to the Foundation. The executioners of the Public Opinion Enforcement Department did not take action directly... This is truly the first time I have seen this.”

“Perhaps the executioner has already been dealt with by this kid,” Jiang Zhengge said with a slight smile. “This young man.”

"Section Chief, what do we do next?" Li Zhanyi turned to look at Jiang Zhengge.

“Let’s work overtime,” Jiang Zhengge said. “No matter how this kid did it, the Foundation will definitely hunt him down like madmen in the next 24 hours.”

"What we need to do is find him before the foundation does and take him into custody."

"Control?" Li Zhanyi frowned. "I don't think he's that easy to bully..."

“If he’s a smart man, he’ll know this is to protect him,” Jiang Zhengge said. “Get ready to write the documents. I’ll call your advisor tonight. You definitely won’t be able to go to school for the next few days.”

"Good thing, it's best to describe the situation as complicated," Li Zhanyi stretched. "Hmm~ I was just finding those final assignments for those courses difficult..."

“The situation is indeed very complicated, and we need to be prepared for a protracted battle,” Jiang Zhengge said. “I estimate that finding him will not be easy.”

At this moment, the car drove up to the entrance of the Investigation Bureau and stopped in front of the railing.

Almost simultaneously, Li Zhanyi and Jiang Zhengge heard arguing coming from outside the window:

"I need to see Section Chief Jiang, really, it's urgent."

"Section Chief Jiang is on a mission. Young man...why don't you fill out the form first?"

"Can't you just get in touch with them?"

"Why would I contact him? What if he's sneaking around... uh, he's here."

The car window slowly rolled down, and Jiang Zhengge and Li Zhanyi looked together at the security booth, watching the figure in the raincoat.

That was Lin Chen.

Clearly, he was turned away again.

In the pouring rain, the three men looked at each other in bewilderment.

"...Hello?" Li Zhanyi blinked.

......

"Name?"

"Lin Chen".

"age?"

"24 is old."

"Profession?"

"If you're unemployed, or if you count part-time work, then you're a food delivery driver."

Lin Chen raised his head and looked at Jiang Zhengge outside the interrogation room.

This was his first time in the police station, and it was the Bureau of Abnormal Investigations, so it was quite a novel experience for him.

Speaking of which, what does the interrogation room of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigations interrogate? Abnormalities?

Lin Chen lowered his head and looked at the table: his hands were not locked. Jiang Zhengge had simply brought him to the room without restricting his personal freedom in any way.

From this perspective, it's clear that the other party didn't treat him as a criminal.

It's also possible that they didn't treat him like a human being at all.

"I have something to say before we begin the interrogation."

Lin Chen looked at Li Zhanyi: the girl kept staring at him, her dark eyes seeming to be trying to find some new mathematical theorem on his face.

“Miss Li Zhanyi, I have already exposed my identity, and the Foundation may be hostile to my sister.”

"Don't worry, my people have already picked up your sister, she's safe." Li Zhanyi nodded.

"That's good." Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Meanwhile, our people found two Foundation executioners who had been knocked unconscious," Jiang Zhengge tapped the table. "You did this?"

“That’s right.” Lin Chen was very honest.

Jiang Zhengge narrowed his eyes slightly, and Lin Chen detected a hint of approval in the section chief's eyes.

“You’re a tough guy,” he said in a low voice, “but I’m more curious about how you did it.”

"How do you do it?"

"How did you, an ordinary person, manage to take down two professional assassins?"

"My highest Legendary rank is Hunter, but that was back in college," Lin Chen said seriously.

"Peak what?" Jiang Zhengge frowned.

“FPS games,” Li Zhanyi said softly, “are shooting games.”

"A shooting game?" Jiang Zhengge was taken aback. "What does that have to do with you taking care of those two executioners?"

"I have my sights on it." Lin Chen nodded solemnly.

"..."

For a moment, no one spoke in the interrogation room.

Lin Chen tried hard to keep his expression in check. The reason he didn't reveal everything about the "Mirage City" was because he was concerned about his own safety.

This is his only trump card.

Even if the Bureau of Investigation is a potential partner, he doesn't want to reveal all his secrets at once.

After all, for Lin Chen, this small miracle was his only means of changing his destiny.

However, this thought had barely crossed his mind when Li Zhanyi sighed softly:

“Mr. Lin, I saw with my own eyes that you caught Qingtian’s fist.”

Did you see it with your own eyes?

Lin Chen was taken aback, but immediately understood what Li Zhanyi meant.

She was the sniper who came to his aid.

Despite not knowing her identity, she still chose to help Lin Chen suppress Qingtian...

With this in mind, Lin Chen lowered his guard against Li Zhanyi somewhat.
