I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Inside the chemical plant, the night was as dark as ink, and the abandoned buildings loomed like ghosts. Lu Yining and her team, weapons in hand, cautiously advanced. The air was filled with a pungent chemical odor, a chilling sensation.

"Captain, watch your step!" a team member suddenly reminded.

Everyone immediately became alert. Lu Yining looked down and found a strange little device under her feet, which seemed to be a simple trap. She gently bypassed it and continued to approach the target warehouse.

Not far away, several passers-by were gathered next to a dilapidated pickup truck, talking.

"Why are there so many people here?" a middle-aged woman asked curiously, "Are they filming a movie?"

"Oh my! This is way more thrilling than the movies!" an elderly man nearby said excitedly. "I just saw the police armed with real guns! I heard that the murderer Zhang Zhiyuan is hiding in this factory!"

"Oh my God, this is too dangerous! You'd better leave quickly." A young girl advised nervously.

But the crowd had no intention of leaving. Instead, they stared ahead with even greater curiosity.

"Look, there's movement over there!" A sudden cry of surprise came from the crowd.

Everyone looked in the direction of the finger and saw a beam of light shooting out from the abandoned warehouse on the north side, followed by several fast-moving figures.

Lu Yining led the team members to approach quickly, and the voice of the communication equipment came to his ears: "Captain, we have entered the warehouse and found some suspicious items."

"Okay, be careful and don't act rashly." Lu Yining responded in a deep voice.

Just as they were approaching the warehouse door, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness, and a dagger flew straight towards Lu Yining. Lu Yining reacted quickly, dodging sideways, and the dagger stuck in the wall next to him.

"Sure enough, Zhang Zhiyuan set a trap here." Lu Yining said calmly.

"Haha, you are quite smart." Zhang Zhiyuan's voice came from the darkness. He walked out slowly with a black pistol in his hand.

"Zhang Zhiyuan, you are surrounded. Surrender is your only option." Lu Yining said sternly, pointing the weapon in his hand at the other party.

"Oh, really? I don't think so." Zhang Zhiyuan sneered, "Do you think I will really surrender obediently? Let me tell you, my plan has just begun!"

Before he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the warehouse and thick smoke instantly filled the air.

"Everyone, attention, retreat!" Lu Yining quickly gave the order and the team members evacuated quickly.

"Hahaha, is this what you call justice?" Zhang Zhiyuan laughed wildly, "You'll never catch me!"

The smoke cleared and the warehouse was in a mess, but there was no trace of Zhang Zhiyuan.

"Where is this guy hiding?" a team member asked puzzledly.

"Don't worry about it, just keep searching!" Lu Yining said firmly.

At this moment, a noisy sound came from the distance, and a group of people were rushing towards them from another direction.

"Captain, we found some clues." A technical analyst ran over breathlessly.

"What's the specific situation?" Lu Yining asked anxiously.

"Based on the remaining clues at the scene, Zhang Zhiyuan may have escaped to a nearby cave through an underground passage."

"Okay, go search the cave immediately!" Lu Yining gave the order.

At the same time, passers-by outside the factory were still talking about it, and some even used their mobile phones to film the scene.

"This is so exciting!" a young man said excitedly, "I must post this video online, it will definitely go viral!"

"What brave police officers," an elderly man said with emotion. "I hope they can catch the bad guy soon and restore peace to the city."

While everyone was still discussing, a sound was heard again in the chemical plant, as if something was moving.

"Captain, look over there!" A team member suddenly pointed to a hill in the distance.

The lights there were dim, and Zhang Zhiyuan's voice echoed in the night sky again: "Lu Yining, do you think this is over? The game has just begun!"

Lu Yining's eyes were firm: "Everyone, prepare for action! No matter what, we must bring him to justice!"

Following this order, the team quickly assembled, ready to launch a new round of pursuit. In the night, the ruins of the chemical plant remained silent, but the air was filled with unknown dangers and suspense...

"This time, we won't let him escape!" Lu Yining gritted his teeth and marched forward resolutely with his team. The atmosphere inside the chemical plant grew increasingly tense. Lu Yining and his team quickly headed towards the cave in the darkness. Outside the factory, passersby continued to gather, discussing the situation.

"Oh my God, that guy was so scary," said a middle-aged woman, clutching her chest. "The police are so brave."

"That's right. I hope the policemen are safe and sound." A young man nodded, his eyes full of admiration.

At the same time, the air in the cave was damp and stuffy, and the team members, holding flashlights, carefully searched every corner. Suddenly, one of the team members found something.

"Captain, there's a hidden tunnel here!" he shouted.

Lu Yining immediately ran over and used a flashlight to illuminate the tunnel entrance, only to see that it was a long, narrow, and deep path.

"Everyone be careful and follow me." Lu Yining whispered and was the first to enter the tunnel.

The tunnel was pitch black, and I could only rely on the weak light of the flashlight to barely see the road ahead. After walking for a while, I heard some noises ahead, as if someone was moving around there.

"Stop moving forward and stay alert." Lu Yining signaled the team members to pause.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiyuan's voice came from the end of the tunnel: "Haha, I didn't expect you to find this place. Lu Yining, your intuition is really sharp."

Lu Yining tightly grasped the weapon in his hand and responded coldly: "Zhang Zhiyuan, this time we will not give you any chance to escape."

"Oh? Really?" Zhang Zhiyuan sneered, then pressed a button. The entire tunnel suddenly shook and rocks fell.

"Retreat quickly!" Lu Yining ordered loudly. The team members turned around quickly, but the tunnel had begun to collapse and huge rocks blocked their way.

"What should we do?" a team member asked anxiously.

"Everyone listen up, get out this way!" Lu Yining pointed to a side hole nearby, "There should be a passage there."

The team quickly followed her into the side cave and finally found an exit. Outside was a small forest. It was quiet, with only a few bird calls breaking the stillness of the night.

Just as Lu Yining was leading the team through the woods, a group of onlookers suddenly appeared not far away.

"Is that... the police?" an old lady said in surprise.

"It's really them! They are chasing the murderer!" the young man next to him said excitedly.

"Oh, I really hope they can catch that guy, it's so dangerous!" A young mother hugged her child tightly and watched the police's actions nervously.
