Girl, you form the head.

Chapter 7 Did you give me the key?
Special Science, Zhongji?

This was Bai Chi's first time dealing with people from the Special Sciences Department, so he stopped in his tracks: "Is there something you need?"

"I just wanted to ask you about the situation again."

"You ask."

"The wound on Liang Rong's chest, was it really not caused by you?" Zhongji looked into Bai Chi's eyes. "Was there really another special individual at the scene?"

“I can answer your first question. I didn’t cause it. The only fatal wound I inflicted on him was the bullet to the forehead, as I’ve already stated before,” Bai Chi said. “I can’t answer your second question because I didn’t see the other special individual. I only discovered Liang Rong’s chest wound after he died, as I’ve already stated before. If you think I’m lying…”

“No, no, no, I didn’t say that.” Zhongji interrupted Bai Chi with a smile. “It’s just that the matter is of great importance, so we have to be careful. After all, Liang Rong is a dangerous individual. He suddenly died without any explanation, and we have to find out why. Especially for me, I was Liang Rong’s number one pursuer. Tonight, I was supposed to be the one to deal with Liang Rong myself, so you understand.”

"You mean I stole your credit?"

“Of course that’s not what I mean. The police exist to uphold justice. As long as Liang Rong dies under the iron fist of justice, it doesn’t matter who wielded that fist,” Zhong Ji said. “But I’m afraid there might be some other suspicious circumstances surrounding Liang Rong’s death.”

“Then I don’t know,” Bai Chi said. “But my gun was a police gun, and he did indeed die by my gun. So according to you, that guy was indeed killed by justice, or at least the outcome was good.”

Looking at Bai Chi's expressionless face, Zhong Ji remained silent for a while before smiling again: "That's right. No matter what, the result is good, and you have fulfilled your duty. The citizens of City C will remember your fearless performance tonight."

After saying that, Zhongji stepped aside to let Bai Chi leave.

Bai Chi didn't say anything more, nodded slightly and was about to leave, but before he had taken a few steps, Zhong Ji called him back again.

"With Liang Rong's heart pierced, can he really still fight?"

Bai Chi stopped and turned to look at Zhong Ji: "What?"

“I’m just curious.” Zhongji smiled again, but the smile lacked warmth; instead, it was somewhat eerie, giving Bai Chi the feeling of being stared at by a venomous snake. “Given Liang Rong’s class and special abilities, it’s indeed possible for him to survive for a while after his heart was pierced. But that’s probably all. Was he really still able to fight and force you to draw your gun and kill him? Ah, I was just asking casually. You don’t need to answer for me. Go back and get some rest, Officer Bai Chi. We’ll find the rest of the answers for you.”

A few minutes later, after watching Bai Chi's figure gradually disappear from sight, Zhong Ji slowly suppressed his somewhat eerie smile.

"Are you just going to let him go like that?" the policeman who had interrogated Bai Chi earlier couldn't help but ask Zhong Ji.

Zhongji said calmly, "Otherwise, would we have kept him here? He's just an ordinary person with no special abilities. How could he possibly beat Liang Rong?"

The police officer was somewhat bewildered: "But weren't you just saying..."

“The heart wound couldn’t possibly have been inflicted by him; he just finished the job with a final shot. He’s not lying about that,” Zhongji said. “But with Liang Rong’s strength and special abilities, it’s impossible for him to still be alive and kicking after his heart was pierced.”

"You mean, he really was a lucky guy who found a bargain?"

"To be precise, he was a cunning and lucky guy," Chung-ki said. "He knew very well how different it was to subdue a dying man from to kill a criminal who was still struggling and resisting."

When Joong-ki got to this point, the police naturally understood and were immediately enraged: "Then he did steal your credit."

“No, that’s what I wanted too. The moment Liang Rong’s heart was pierced, he lost his value to me.” Zhong Ji’s tone gradually turned cold. “So the one who really ruined my plans was that guy whose background I don’t know.”

Song Joong-ki was very unhappy.

He had been preparing for tonight for a long time.

A notorious criminal and a rising star in the police force.

What a great script.

As a result, the script was ruined by a special person who appeared out of nowhere, and the fruit was snatched away by a Muggle policeman, leaving him running around like a clown all night without any results. The policeman could sense Song-ki's anger, and he cautiously asked, "In that case, shouldn't we stop that guy's promotion? We can't let him really steal the peach, can we?"

“There’s no need,” Song-ki said calmly. “I’m not that petty. I won’t waste my time on such a nobody.”

"That……"

"Just find an opportunity for him to die in the line of duty." Zhongji looked in the direction Bai Chi had gone and sneered, "If he wants to be a hero, then let him be a real hero."

"I understand."

……

It seems we've run into a troublesome guy.

On his way home, Bai Chi pondered Zhong Ji's words.

You see, he was the most perceptive person in the precinct, so he was able to clearly sense Joong-ki's ill intentions.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, Bai Chi was convinced that he had indeed offended this guy from the Special Affairs Division of the General Administration.

Tsk, still couldn't dodge it?
Bai Chi realized long ago that this was a cannibalistic world, especially for ordinary people. Facing the unpredictable and treacherous special individuals, they were truly no different from lambs to the slaughter. Therefore, before he gained the ability to protect himself, Bai Chi always lived very cautiously. Even in the police station, he did clerical work, never went on duty, and actively maintained relationships with his colleagues to avoid getting involved in any trouble.

This strategy was clearly successful until tonight.

Bai Chi didn't expect that after he finally gained power and actually did something, he would be targeted by someone, and someone quite troublesome at that.

Fortunately, he already possessed power.

Two images flashed through Bai Chi's mind at the same time.

One scene shows Ruri-e blushing and half-concealing herself, while the other shows him as the Shadow Knight, stabbing Liang Rong to pieces with a single spear thrust.

If a synchronization rate of 40% is already this impressive, then 100% would be phenomenal!

Thinking of this, Bai Chi subconsciously quickened his pace and hurried back to his doorstep.

We need to discuss with Rurie how to further improve the synchronization rate.

Bai Chi took out his key to open the door, but stopped halfway through.

He sensed an extremely dangerous and ominous aura, as if he were being watched by a wild beast.

He turned his head and, sure enough, saw the ominous source in the shadows of the corner.

His pupils narrowed slightly.

Why...why don't you come inside?

In the night wind, wearing only a coat, Ruri-e's legs were trembling so badly that she almost bit her teeth to pieces.

"Did you give me the key?!"
