Girl, you form the head.

Chapter 70 A Different Feeling
Jin Chen stood on the roof of the hotel, looking at his watch while listening to various reports coming through his headset.

"C1 has arrived at room 501."

"C2 has arrived at room 503."

"B1 has arrived at room 402."

"..."

While waiting for all the members to arrive at their designated locations, Jin Chen was also making preparations.

But the preparations were really just a knife handle-shaped electronic device; he didn't even bring a gun. The only protective gear he had was a pair of heavy safety goggles.

This wasn't Jin Chen being arrogant; he wasn't foolish enough to be overconfident when facing an ominous type of special ability user. Rather, this equipment perfectly complemented his special ability, allowing him to unleash his strongest power in the shortest amount of time.

Moreover, he wasn't fighting alone.

"D1 has reached the designated location."

When the final report came, Jin Chen glanced at his watch; it was about seven seconds later than scheduled.

Although seven seconds is within the acceptable margin of error, Jin Chen still cautiously asked, "Why are you late, D1?"

D1 replied: "The patrol officers did not do a good job of evacuating the area. There is still a child in this room. I just asked him to leave, which caused a slight delay."

"That child has already left, hasn't he?"

"Yes."

Jin Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did you invite the bureau chief to your wedding next month?"

“What are you talking about, Captain?” D1 laughed. “Wasn’t my wedding last week?”

Jin Chen nodded slightly: "No problem."

In the battle against superhumans, especially unknown superhumans, one must remain sufficiently vigilant in order to achieve victory... no, one should say to survive.

Jin Chen has an older brother who serves in a special task force on the border and has clashed countless times with the special individuals from Gao Yang. His older brother also told Jin Chen that when facing ominous special individuals, any hint of "unusualness" could have irreversible consequences. Your teammates might be fighting alongside you one second, and the next they could be stabbing you in the heart.

Therefore, when capturing "ominous individuals," the task force has an ironclad rule: all units must act in unison down to the second. However, to deal with unforeseen circumstances, the operational guidelines also allow them a twenty-second margin of error.

Then, this tolerance period was shortened to ten seconds. Once it exceeds ten seconds, the unit must be regarded as a potentially out-of-control unit and must be reviewed immediately, just like Jin Chen just did.

Actually, seven seconds is not a time for review, but it's always good to be safe, isn't it?

Jin Chen looked down at the hotel, which was fifty meters high, and gave the order: "Start the operation in ten seconds."

ten.

Nine.

Eight.

……

When he counted down to three in his mind, Jin Chen gripped the hilt of his knife and leaped off the top floor.

The cold wind howled in his ears, and he was completely unprotected; his frail figure looked as if he would be swallowed by the darkness at any moment. This made him look like a desperate man contemplating suicide.

But his eyes, sharp as a hawk's, pierced the night and were fixed on the tightly closed window of room 502.

Meanwhile, the team members' countdown was still echoing through the headset.

"two."

"one."

When the word "one" came through the earpiece, Jin Chen landed right in front of the window of 502. His rapidly falling body stopped abruptly at that moment, as if a pause button had been pressed.

At the same time, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out in room 502, as if dozens of flashbangs had been detonated at the same time. The light was also mixed with a noise that seemed to tear eardrums.

It's now!

While suspended in mid-air, Jin Chen activated the hilt of his sword, and a powerful stream of air surged out from it, forming a spiraling wind blade.

With a flick of his wrist, an invisible wind blade instantly shattered the window of room 502. Countless shards of glass were swept into the vortex around him, transforming into a dazzling yet deadly storm of crystalline dust under the intense indoor light.

Then he stepped inside the house.

The white light inside the room showed no signs of weakening; on the contrary, it continued to intensify. If Jin Chen hadn't put on his goggles in advance, his eyes would definitely have been burned by the light.

This dazzling light is the special ability of his teammate "D1," and it's not just used to obscure vision or act as a flashbang. Special particles within the light's range are disrupted and become disordered, making it extremely difficult for the user to use their abilities normally under these conditions.

The noise in the room is a peculiar phenomenon of "C1," which causes hallucinations in those who hear it, making it difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality. This noise can even penetrate earmuffs, and only by taking psychotropic drugs beforehand can resistance be developed in the short term.

With the enhancement of light and sound, individuals with special abilities who lack any protective measures are essentially unable to exert any combat power.

But this is not over yet.

Amidst the cacophony, Jin Chen also caught a faint hissing sound, as if something was rapidly freezing.

Due to the limitations of white light, he couldn't see the image, but he knew what was happening.

This is the unique feature of "C2"—the Cocoon of Binding.

He can release tough threads without anyone noticing. These threads automatically seek out living creatures within range and wrap them into a tough, airtight cocoon, so they are often used in capture operations. However, this ability has a flaw: it melts upon encountering special particles, so it cannot work on those with special abilities and can only affect ordinary people.

Because of this, "C2" spent a long time only assisting ordinary police officers in handling cases and did not participate in the battles against the special beings.

It wasn't until Jin Chen, with his discerning eye, discovered another unique effect of this product—protection.

As mentioned before, this binding cocoon is incredibly tough, impervious even to pistol bullets, so those inside cannot escape, and those outside cannot break free either. While those trapped inside will suffocate within ten minutes if they cannot break free, in other words, if the battle ends within ten minutes, it becomes the most powerful form of protection.

And in this room, there were ordinary people.

"Captain, the cocoon is set up." C2's voice came through the headset. "You can begin."

"understood."

After giving a brief reply, Jin Chen raised the wind blade in his hand.

Disturbed by the white light, he couldn't see anything clearly, nor could he locate the enemy.

But he doesn't need to find it, because the wind doesn't need eyes.

brush!
The spiraling wind blade dissipated from the hilt of the sword, and the next second, a storm descended upon the small room. Moreover, this was no ordinary storm; it was an advanced version of the wind blade—the Storm Cutter!
Clang!
The television was cut down.

boom!
The kettle was cut in half.

Click!

The bed was divided into several sections.

At this moment, the gale transformed into a blade, unleashing indiscriminate slashing attacks in this hotel room of less than 30 square meters! Except for Jin Chen, the controller of the gale, everything in the room, even flies, was cleaved in two. The floor and walls were like parched earth hit by a torrential downpour, instantly cut into thousands of ferocious grooves, each carrying the howling of the wind and the scraping sound of metal.

Yes, that is Jin Chen's special ability.

C1, C2, D1. All the special individuals in the team, except for Miyuki and Sano, who are a bit clueless and grumpy, exist to assist his special abilities.

Everything, everything, was for this moment, a three-minute-long indiscriminate slash.

To this day, no one has ever survived those three minutes. Gao Yang's bastard is no exception.

Amidst the wind blades, Jin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

The time is almost up.

Jin Chen had no intention of capturing him alive, because he knew very well that holding back against such a madman would be the greatest irresponsibility towards himself and his team. So, as time was running out, he increased the frequency of his strikes.

"Ding." Three minutes were up, the wind began to stop, and the white light gradually dissipated.

Both he and D1 have reached their limits.

But that's enough.

As the white light slowly faded, the first thing he saw was the ground beneath his feet, which was riddled with countless trenches like a spider web. On the other side was a similarly scarred cocoon of restraint, but the cocoon was not broken. Judging from its constantly undulating state, the person inside was still alive and well and had not been affected.

In that case, that guy should also...

Jin Chen raised his head and looked into the deepest part of the room, then frowned.

Because in that hazy white light, he saw a trembling black shadow reaching out its hand towards him.

He's still alive?!
Jin Chen was very surprised, and his body reacted quickly.

Although we don't know how he survived, we absolutely cannot let him continue to live!
Jin Chen used the few remaining special particles to condense a spiral wind blade again, then strode forward and stabbed it into the chest of the dark figure.

puff.

The wind blade instantly shredded the opponent's heart, and blood and flesh splattered across half of Jin Chen's body.

At the same time, the other person's outstretched hand landed on Jin Chen's shoulder.

ended.

As Jin Chen was thinking this, the thick white light finally dissipated completely, allowing him to see the person in front of him clearly.

His pupils suddenly narrowed, and shock and fear surged into his heart like a tidal wave.

Because in front of him was not a special person from Gaoyang, but a young man wearing the same uniform as him—D1.

This teammate, who had just gotten married last week and was fighting alongside him, now had his heart shattered and was left lifeless.

"No, no..." Jin Chen released his grip on the sword hilt, watching D1 collapse like rotten flesh, he was almost going crazy, "This, how is this possible!? Hallucination, this must be a hallucination! It's that beast Gao Yang who turned into it! D1! Answer me, where are you!"

Jin Chen roared like a madman, but the only response he received was the static from his earpiece.

Not just D1, his entire squad has lost contact.

clap clap.

The silence was broken by a crisp clapping sound.

Jin Chen turned around abruptly and saw a smiling young man leaning against the broken window, with broken calluses at his feet.

"Brilliant, very brilliant," Gao Shanjie said with a smile. "A very clever collaboration. If it weren't me who came here, you would have already succeeded."

He paused for a moment, then his smile widened even more.

"Unfortunately, the person you met was me."

……

"damn it!"

Inside the speeding police car, Sano couldn't help but pound on the steering wheel.

"Normally it's one thing! But why weren't we notified about this kind of pursuit operation? Aren't we from the third squad?!"

"The captain is probably afraid we'll hold them back," Miyue said weakly.

"How am I holding everyone back?!" Sano exclaimed. "I'm a fourth-tier Specialist, after all! I almost graduated as an outstanding student. With my grades, I could have gone to any big company! I only came to the Specialist Department because I wanted to be a police officer, but what happened? It's been a year, and they haven't let me participate in any operations! What does this mean?"

"Asking me won't help," Miyue sighed. "Besides, there's no point in us rushing over now; the operation has already ended."

"Then I'll ask that guy in public what he really is..."

Before they could finish speaking, a figure fell from the sky and crashed directly into the front of their car.

Sano was startled and instinctively stepped on the brakes, causing the figure to roll off the front of the car.

"W-what happened? Someone jumped off a building?!"

"No, he's wearing a police uniform!" Miyue saw it more clearly than Sano, her face pale. "It looks like Captain Jin Chen!"

Captain Jin Chen!?
The two immediately got out of the car and rushed over. Sure enough, they found their captain, Jin Chen, standing in front of the car.

At this moment, Jin Chen looked like a broken toy, his hands and feet twisted at extremely abnormal angles, and his whole body was covered with deep wounds that revealed the bone.

"Team, captain!"

The two had never seen Jin Chen in such a miserable state, and they didn't know where to begin bandaging him.

"Captain, hang in there!" At this moment, Sano couldn't care less about his grudge with Jin Chen. While directing Mi Yue to get first aid equipment from the car, he took out his phone to call for backup.

But at that moment, Jin Chen suddenly grabbed her hand.

"No, don't worry about me. Quickly, contact the first and second squads." Jin Chen seemed on the verge of losing consciousness, but he still gritted his teeth and held on. "That...that guy can turn other special individuals into his servants, and he can use the servants' special abilities on his own. We...we've been tricked. He's been lying in wait for us from the beginning. Rooms 501, 503, 402...there are his servants in all of these rooms. We...we can't detect them...the entire third squad has been converted by him..."

"Captain, don't say anything." Sano's eyes were already blurry; all past grudges had vanished at this moment. "The ambulance is almost here!"

"No, don't worry about me. Go save them!" Jin Chen gripped Sano's hand tightly, as if clutching a last straw. "The conversion won't last long... there's still a chance to save them... any later and it'll be too late..."

After saying this, Jin Chen lost his last breath and closed his eyes completely.

"I'm here, I'm here!" Miyue rushed back, carrying the first-aid kit, but when she saw her captain, who was already dead, her hand slipped, and the first-aid kit fell to the ground with a "thud." Her eyes instantly reddened. "Captain, he..."

"The captain isn't dead yet!" Sano roared. "Come and treat him quickly!"

"Oh, oh, I'm so sorry..." Mi Yue picked up the first-aid kit again and began bandaging Jin Chen. While bandaging, she said, "I just saw Senior Zhuo Li and the others running towards Linchuan Avenue. Why is that? Are they still chasing criminals?"

Sano was taken aback, then recalled what Jin Chen had just said.

"The conversion period is short, there is still a chance to save them, any later and it will be too late."

She immediately clenched her fists, turned around, and left.

"Where are you going?!" Miyue panicked.

"The captain's in your hands!" Sano said through gritted teeth. "I'm going to kill that bastard and rescue the others!"

Not far away, Bai Chi and Yan Le, who had just arrived, happened to witness this scene.

"How could this be?" Yan Le was shocked. "The entire team of special agents couldn't handle that guy?"

Bai Chi didn't speak, but simply patted his chest.

He felt a bit hot in his body, as if the divine blessing pills from before were taking effect.

That doesn't make sense. A few days ago, it only took two hours for me to get a fever. Why is it so fast today? Did the medication work its magic?

Before Bai Chi could figure it out, Yan Le grabbed his hand and said excitedly, "Officer Deng! We can't just watch that policewoman go to her death!"

He turned his head and looked at Yan Le, who had a serious expression on her face, and suddenly froze.

Those striking red hairs, those earnest eyes, those delicate skin, that pert nose, and that bead of sweat on that nose.

It was a face he had seen countless times, yet at this moment, it exuded an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity, as if shrouded in a strange halo. An inexplicable impulse quietly rose in Bai Chi's heart; he even wanted to reach out and gently wipe away the tiny bead of sweat on Yan Le's nose.

Seeing that Bai Chi hadn't spoken for a long time, Yan Le couldn't help but ask, "Officer Deng, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Bai Chi shook his head, composed himself, and then said in a deep voice, "You're right, transform."
