"It's too expensive. I may not even make a hundred dollars in a whole day setting up a stall," said the vendor.

 He was a vegetable vendor. He didn't have a fixed stall, only two baskets filled with vegetables.

 The price is one yuan per catty.

 Xiao Yi estimated that even if all the vendors' goods were sold, they would probably not be worth a hundred yuan.

 "Not everyone has a fixed stall. Some people simply sell the vegetables they grow to supplement their family income. They don't have a fixed stall." Mona said.

 "It's your problem if you can't make money. It's none of my business. Either pay up or get out. If you refuse to leave, I'll make you get out."

 The man in uniform with a thick waist looked ferocious.

 The vegetable vendor looked at the group of people and an indignant look appeared on his face. He took a few deep breaths, suppressed the urge to hit anyone, and left.

 The uniformed crowd began to move towards the next stall.

 It was a fixed stall. These people stretched out their hands and said, "Give me money."

 "I just opened my stall today and haven't made any money yet. Can I wait until tonight to pay?"

 The owner of the stall was a middle-aged woman with a smile on her face and a flattering expression.

 "No, you have to hand it over now, or get out." said the man in uniform with a strong waist.

 Anger showed on the middle-aged woman's face and she started to take out money.

 "Is there no regulation on the fees for market management?" Xiao Yi asked.

 "No, it's entirely up to the company itself," said Mona.

 "Company? They're not public officials, are they private companies?"

 A look appeared on Xiao Yi's face.

 A hint of surprise.

 He originally thought that the people doing these things would be public officials, after all, they were managing a market, but it seemed that was not the case.

 "It's a private company." Mona said.

 "How was this company selected? Are there any selection criteria?" Xiao Yi asked.

 "I don't know the specific operation, probably relying on connections." Mona said.

 "That's it."

 Xiao Yi looked up at the people in uniform. Their attitude was very unfriendly. Wherever they went, small vendors were driven away, and those who stayed were basically people who had fixed stalls.

 He moved his nose slightly and sniffed.

 A smell could be smelled immediately. It was neither tar, blood, nor ozone, but a very special smell.

 This is the smell of destruction.

 Xiao Yi carefully sensed his surroundings and immediately felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction and hatred.

 This aura is not only here, but is spreading wildly throughout the city, everywhere. It is very strong, even stronger than before.

 "What are you looking at?"

 Mona looked at Xiao Yi, a look of confusion on her face.

 Xiao Yi's gaze was staring into the distance, not knowing what he was staring at.

 "Looking at hatred and destruction." Xiao Yi said.

 "Hatred and destruction, can that thing be seen?" Mona wondered.

 "You can see that hatred and destruction have always been in everyone's eyes and in everyone's heart, whether it is in ancient times or now. As long as human beings exist, hatred and destruction will always exist." Xiao Yi said.

 His gaze followed the destructive aura around him, and soon moved to a place where the destructive aura was relatively strong.

 It was deep in an alley, where there were two people, a young man with dyed red hair and full of tattoos, and a middle-aged man in whitish clothes.

 Xiao Yi recognized this person. Just now, this person was one of the people who was driven away by the group of people in uniform.

 At this moment, the man handed over a bag of money.

 The tattooed young man opened the bag and took a look. He saw that it was full of change. He weighed it with some disgust, then took out a pistol from his pocket, handed the gun to the middle-aged man, and turned and left.

 Mona followed Xiao Yi's gaze and saw this scene.

 She said, "This person might be related to Kaoshan Security Company."

 "Since it is related to the cult, why don't you arrest him?" Xiao Yi asked.

 He vaguely remembered that Kaoshan Security Company was a cultist's company.

 "Even if we catch him, we won't be able to find any conclusive evidence." Mona shook her head.

 She continued: "Most of the relationships within the cult are hierarchical. The lowest level is basically ordinary people. They don't know they are working for the cult. To them, they think they belong to a gang. Their jobs vary, such as collecting protection money or illegally buying and selling weapons.

 We once disguised ourselves as buyers, contacted these people, and found their lair. We arrested them all, but we could not find any evidence related to the cult members, so we had to hand it over to the ordinary court.

 Honestly, there's no way we can catch all of these people. After we catch a group, new people will come in to smuggle weapons after a while."

 "Since no concrete evidence has been found, why are you sure that these people are working for the cultists?" Xiao Yi asked.

 "Intuition," Mona said. "Sometimes, we have a strong intuition that is very accurate, but it cannot be used as evidence."

 "Could it be that this is an intuition that comes out when suspicions arise?" Xiao Yi said.

 "What is that?" Mona asked.

 "Nothing. There's a popular saying among us weirdos that this world has all sorts of strange seasons, like when suspicions creep in, when the winds are calm, when diseases rage, and so on.

 Each season has corresponding events, and when suspicions arise, it is easy to be targeted by hunters."

 After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he walked away.

 "Give me something to eat."

 At the intersection, an old beggar shouted weakly to Mona.

 Mona took out some change and put it into the beggar's bowl.

 "It seems like there are more beggars." Xiao Yi said.

 "Well, the economy here has never been very good," Mona said.

 "Buzz!"

 Suddenly, there was a vibrating sound coming from Mona's bag.

 She opened her bag, took out her phone, glanced at the messages inside, and put it back in her bag. She said, "Bach and the others have asked for help from the Suppression Bureau. This is a serious incident. The Suppression Bureau will be working with the Night Shift Bureau. I need to go back."

 Volume 1: Chapter 488 Tomorrow

 "These people, instead of releasing the people properly, are doing these things. Their efforts are ultimately in vain. Even if it's the Anti-Suppression Bureau, I don't think they can be rescued in two days."

 A mocking expression flashed across Xiao Yi's face as he continued, "Furthermore, as long as I sense any force interfering with the power I left in their bodies, they'll be finished. Perhaps after one or two people die, the fear of death will help them see reality clearly."

 "If there's anything, I'll let you know."

 Mona said and left.

 ……

 At this moment, in a room without any cameras.

 A group of people were gathered around a table, drinking wine and discussing something.

 There were five of them, all dressed in suits with flame marks on their bodies. They were the people from the noble property.

 "Just now, my people reported that a strange being had planted lightning in their bodies, forcing them to withdraw all proposals related to the Anti-Suppression Bureau." One person said.

 "Haha, it's a really crude method, but it won't work."

 "What I'm interested in is who is behind this. Anyone who dares to interfere deserves death."

 "This kind of crude method shouldn't be used by someone within the Anti-Suppression Bureau. People within the Anti-Suppression Bureau know their methods and wouldn't use such a method that is doomed to fail."

 "I have a suggestion that might reveal the mastermind behind this."

 ……

 The sound of conversation mixed with the sound of wine glasses clinking could be heard, and the discussion was about what Xiao Yi had done.

 After Mona left, Xiao Yi walked alone on the road, following the feeling of conflict.

 Walk around the city, observe the city, and look for opportunities.

 All I see is desolation and hatred.

 Tenants evicted by landlords.

 Crowds of people marched with signs demanding jobs.

 In the corner, there lies a homeless person.

 The thief moved among the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

 Those who lost their money were wailing and cursing.

 ……

 At night, Xiao Yi found a place to stay, which was a shabby hotel.

 This place is dirty and small. You can tell at a glance that it is not a regular hotel but a private hotel. However, there is one good thing about it: you can access the Internet.

 Xiao Yi did not register. He went straight into an empty house, turned on the computer inside, and browsed the latest news.

 Browsing the news website, a striking piece of news immediately caught his eye.

 It was a news headline in bold and black, placed at the very front, very eye-catching.

 The title is: Important news: Tomorrow, the Anti-Suppression Bureau will begin trials of all detained cultists.

 The trial of cultists will begin tomorrow. Trial is sometimes just a process, but sometimes it is a real trial.

 For those in power, they can legally release someone after going through the trial process, but they can also legally imprison that person for life after going through the trial process.

 I give those in power two days, today plus tomorrow, and tomorrow is the final deadline.

 Whether my method works or not will be clear from the results of tomorrow's trial.

 Xiao Yi turned off the computer, lay on the bed, and waited for tomorrow to come.

 Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated.

 He took out his cell phone and an unfamiliar number appeared in his eyes.

 I don’t recognize the number, who could it be?

 Xiao Yi clicked on the number and a message popped up immediately, which said: The Night Duty Bureau has dispatched a reconnaissance vehicle to conduct a large-scale search for something strange, you have to be careful.

 Judging from the content of the message, it should be a message sent to me by Mona.

 This number is anonymous. She will probably use it once and won't use it again, so there's no need to save it.

 The Anti-Suppression Bureau released information about the trial of cultists, and the Night Duty Bureau searched everywhere for something strange.

 Are they trying to catch both sides at the same time? They want to solve the crisis of Bach and other people in power by catching me. This is doomed to be futile.

 Xiao Yi put his phone back in his pocket, closed his eyes, and waited for tomorrow's results.

 The sun sets, the sun rises, and tomorrow will soon arrive.

 Xiao Yi turned on his computer and opened a news website to check the trial of the cultists.

 After reading all the news, Xiao Yi found the place where the cultists were being tried.

 News reports indicate that the trial is ongoing and no conclusion has been reached yet.

 The trial was held in the Anti-Suppression Bureau Court and was an open trial.

 Although I can't go to the scene because of the night patrol, maybe I can watch it through the Internet.

 Xiao Yi opened the live broadcast software and quickly found the live broadcast by searching for keywords.

 Click on the live broadcast and the picture appears.

 All the cult members were sitting in the dock, including Lorna Romijn.

 Below, the lawyer is stating the crimes committed by the cultists, and above, the presiding judge is listening quietly without making any remarks.

 On the other hand, the free lawyers arranged for the cultists did not make any comments.
