From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 226 Bank Robbery
While a large-scale robbery was taking place on Zhongzheng Street, an explosion was heard at the Binhai Commercial Bank on the next block.

The explosion was so violent that people walking on the street could feel the ground shaking slightly.

The bank then sounded the alarm.

It was at this time.

Lu Heng's cell phone rang, and when he answered it, Chen Linian's voice was heard.

"Lu Heng, help me. The vault of Binhai Commercial Bank has been bombed. Our people have already rushed over, but I'm worried that we won't have enough time. You should be over there, right? Go and take a look."

"Okay, how do you plan to thank me?" Lu Heng left his clone to deal with the robbers on Zhongzheng Street, while his real body crossed the alley and ran towards the Commercial Bank.

"I know you will help." Chen Linian sighed.

"So you feel comfortable taking advantage of my personality, Inspector Chen Linian." Lu Heng's tone sounded a little unhappy.

"I owe you this. When this is over, come back to me when you've decided what you want. I'll do whatever I can to help you." Chen Linian had no choice but to sign the IOU verbally.

Lu Heng did not respond to his words and ended the call directly because people had already rushed into the commercial bank.

Several people had collapsed in the bank lobby, and several tellers were hiding in the corner, shivering.

Lu Heng grabbed one and asked loudly: "Where is the vault? Where is the vault?"

The teller was so frightened that he kept repeating, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

"I asked where the vault is?" Lu Heng was a little helpless.

Just as I was about to run in and search room by room.

Another teller next to him pointed in the direction of the back hall and said, "Enter this way, pass three intersections, turn right and go down the stairs, and you will see the vault door."

Lu Heng turned and ran into the back hall passage. When he passed the first corner, he saw a figure out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but stop.

Because the figure was wearing a black cloak and a hood, his face could not be seen clearly.

Lu Heng looked closely and saw a pair of colorful eyes under his hood.

This person turned out to be 027. I actually met 027 here.

According to 013, 027 has defected.

However, so far, Lu Heng only has two contacts, and the latest information about the Creator organization is obtained from these two people.

It was 027 who told the story about 013's defection.

Lu Heng still has some doubts about 013's statement, so when he met 027 here, he wanted to ask him for clarification.

"wait……"

Seeing Lu Heng appear, 027 suddenly turned around and ran into the passage at the corner.

Lu Heng rushed over and turned around, only to see the last stroke of ink on 027 that had been erased by the eraser.

He ran away.

Why did he run?
He appeared in the Binhai Commercial Bank. Was he involved in the bank robbery?
At this moment, Lu Heng had many questions in his mind, but now was not the time to delve into these questions. He had to go and stop the bank robbers immediately.

Lu Heng immediately turned around and ran back, crossed two intersections, stepped onto the stairs going down, and then saw the door of the vault.

In fact, there was no vault door anymore. It had been blown away, leaving only rubble and a big hole on the ground.

It was at this time.

A group of masked robbers came out carrying travel bags that were full of stuff, and the vault had been emptied.

Since the advent of the abyss, bank vaults not only store cash and gold bars, but also crystal cores and various quenching and forging materials.

Therefore, if this group of robbers escape after looting the bank vault, the money and resources they obtain will be huge.

When Lu Heng saw the robbers coming out of the vault, he drew out the Aurora Blade, held his sword across his chest, and stood in front of the door.

This group of robbers had robbed so much wealth that they were already red-eyed. When they saw someone dared to block their way, they immediately raised their guns and started shooting without any orders.

Lu Heng hid sideways beside the door to avoid the first wave of gunfire, then released his divine incarnation and rushed out to slaughter the robbers.

The clone skill has been upgraded to S-level [Divine Incarnation], which possesses extremely strong combat power. It is no longer an ordinary energy body that will be annihilated by a single attack.

Of course, if it is hit by intensive fire, the incarnation of divinity will still be blown up.

However, the divine incarnation can use the skills of the original body. Although its combat power cannot reach the strength of Lu Heng's original body, it can also easily deal with psychics below level 25.

This group of robbers has been reduced to robbing for a living, so the fighting spirit is unlikely to be too high.

At this stage, those with superpowers whose energy level can reach level 25 do not need to be robbed at all. There are many consortiums and capitals that want to give them money.

Therefore, Lu Heng and his clone rushed out, brandishing their swords and killing the robbers.

After chopping down all the robbers, the incarnation of divinity was still intact.

The last robber leader, seeing Lu Heng kill more than a dozen of his men in an instant, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Brother, don't kill me, I'll give you everything, everything in the vault."

Lu Heng put the sword on his neck and threatened: "Why don't you hand it over quickly?"

Since crystal cores and quenching materials are special substances from the abyss world, they can be placed in the inventory.

This group of robbers were not stupid. Cash and gold bars could not be put into the inventory, so they were taken away in travel bags. The crystal cores and materials were collected by the robber leader and put into the inventory.

So the robber leader did not carry a travel bag.

Hearing Lu Heng's words, the robber leader thought he had a chance to survive, so he quickly took out a pile of crystal cores and put them on the ground, saying, "I'll give them all to you. Let me go, and these are all yours."

"Is that all?" Lu Heng looked at the crystal core on the ground with a cold look in his eyes.

"And... there is also a piece of B-grade forging material. The price of forging materials is skyrocketing now. As long as you let me go, I will give you the material when I walk out of the bank." The robber leader still wanted to keep a high-grade material to save his life.

"Forget it, I don't want the materials." Lu Heng said as he raised his sword.

“No, big brother, big brother, give it to you, I’ll give it to you now…” The robber leader had no choice but to quickly take out the B-grade forging material and present it with both hands.

When Lu Heng saw this B-grade forging material, he wanted it very much.

The Aurora Blade can no longer use this B-grade forging material, but Su Muyu's crossbow can use it.

However, this thing belongs to the bank, so you can't take it even if you want it.

Matters of principle must still be observed.

At this moment.

Chen Linian arrived with the Iron-Blooded Investigator and ran to the door of the vault, only to find that the fight was over and all the robbers had been chopped to pieces, with only the last robber leader left.

"Leave him alive for questioning." Chen Linian reminded hurriedly.

Lu Heng took back the Aurora Blade, turned around and said, "Then I'll leave this place to you. You can still catch up with dinner if you go home now."

Just as Lu Heng turned to leave, the robber leader suddenly jumped up, flipped his hand and a dagger with a cold glow appeared, and stabbed Lu Heng in the back.

"Be careful!" Chen Linian hurriedly reminded.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he reminds me or not.

This little trick can't hurt Lu Heng.

Lu Heng reached back with his left hand, pinched his wrist, then turned around and bent it hard, breaking his arm.

"Ah!" The robber leader let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Lu Heng took the dagger from him and found that it was actually a C-level dagger [Cold Light Thorn], and the quenching level was +3.

At this stage, a psychic who can temper weapons should not be able to rob a bank.

Therefore, it is very likely that he obtained this Cold Light Spear by robbing someone.

Lu Heng took the dagger in his hand, spun it around and put it directly into the inventory.

When Chen Linian saw this, he glared at him, but said nothing in the end.

Lu Heng did not touch the things in the bank vault, which was very principled.

If Lu Heng had been more shady, he would have killed the robber leader directly and put all the crystal cores into the inventory, and no one would have been able to recover the stolen goods.

After the threat was lifted, the bank president rushed over and was greatly relieved to see that most of the items in the vault were intact.

Lu Heng pointed to the piece of B-grade forging material on the ground and said to the president, "I need that piece of B-grade forging material. I'll have someone come over to buy it some other day at the market price."

At present, the quantity of forging materials is very small. After the major consortiums, families, and organizations have gained experience with quenching materials, they have hoarded similar materials and are unwilling to sell them.

Therefore, there are very few forging materials available on the market, and even fewer high-grade ones.

B-grade forging materials are almost impossible to find.

So Lu Heng considered buying this B-grade forging material to help Su Muyu with the second forging of the crossbow.

The bank president is still in a state of panic. When he heard Lu Heng's words, he just nodded in agreement. However, he has no say on whether to sell the bank in the end.

……

The bank robbery ended just like that.

This group of robbers was unlucky as they encountered Lu Heng, a psychic with peak combat power.

If Lu Heng had not been nearby and the superpowers had not been strong enough, at least most of the robbers would have escaped, if not all of them had.

Moreover, once they escape from the bank, it will not be easy for the Iron-Blooded Investigation Bureau to catch them.

After all, people with special abilities have all kinds of strange abilities, and there are too many ways to escape pursuit.

Chen Linian took the robber leader back for trial, and the trace inspection team took over the scene for inspection.

The property in the bank vault, the gold bars and cash could all be counted, but some of the crystal cores were missing.

Because the robbers were in a state of confusion when robbing the vault, according to the original plan, the crystal core was to be kept by the leader.

However, some robbers immediately put the crystal cores into their inventory after getting them, intending to keep them for themselves.

Therefore, there are indeed fewer crystal cores.

According to the original procedure, Lu Heng needs to be questioned to confirm whether Lu Heng has taken the crystal core.

However, Chen Linian signed directly to prove that Lu Heng did not take it.

Because there is no way to investigate this matter, whether Lu Heng took it or not, it cannot be checked.

If Lu Heng was really summoned for questioning, it would only make Lu Heng unhappy.

If this matter had happened before the abyss descended, it would have definitely been clarified, but now that we have encountered such an emergency, we should be thankful to have a top psychic like Lu Heng to help us. If we still have to interrogate him, no one will be willing to help in similar incidents in the future.

Chen Linian signed as a guarantee and Lu Heng was not summoned for questioning.

……

Two days passed.

Lu Heng asked Lin Zeyu to send a manager to meet with the president of Binhai Commercial Bank to discuss the purchase of Grade B forging materials.

As a result, that afternoon, Binhai Bank President He Songwen personally brought people over to express his gratitude to Lu Heng and gave him the Grade B forging material as a thank you gift.

Lu Heng originally wanted to buy it, but he didn't expect the bank to give it to him as a gift, which made Lu Heng feel a little surprised.

However, he helped Binhai Commercial Bank stop the robbers and recovered their heavy losses.

For Binhai Commercial Bank, it is a great deal to exchange a piece of Grade B forging material for an entire vault of gold bars and cash.

Lu Heng did not refuse and accepted the B-grade forging material, preparing to find time to help Su Muyu with the second forging of the crossbow.

It just so happened that Master Guru was very ambitious during this period and wanted to make a big splash.

It's just the right time to help him improve his forging skills.

After seeing He Songwen off, Lu Heng brought the forging materials to the Fire Emblem Club.

First, consult with Master Guru about what materials are needed for the second forging of the crossbow.

This B-grade forging material is a very good crossbow forging material, but it also requires the assistance of other forging materials.

When I entered the Quenching Fort, I found that there were a lot of people here today.

Even the forging room was crowded with people.

It was only when Lu Heng entered the forging room that he realized that Master Guru had taken on three forging jobs today and was working hard on the forging.

Lin Zeyu was helping on the side.

When he assisted in forging before, he had already acquired a secondary profession [Forging Assistant].

Although this sub-class is not a blacksmith, it is also a very good sub-class. At a higher level, you can also gain sub-class characteristics.

Lu Heng also has this secondary profession, but because his other secondary profession is already [Advanced Quencher], he still focuses on the Quencher line.

In addition to Master Guru who was forging, there was also a group of people at the quenching furnace.

Gao Yuankui is tempering the psychic's weapon.

This person has an official background and a good talent for tempering, otherwise he would not have been recognized by Guru.

It is now November when the Abyss descends. According to the timeline, it won’t be long before the second quenching furnace appears in the Western world.

Therefore, the Quenching Fort needs to be gradually released.

Otherwise, the quenching industry will be dominated by Western countries in the future.

If you want to gain an advantage in the field of quenching, it is not enough to rely on one person alone.

Therefore, Lu Heng has always supported Guru in accepting the participation of other tempering masters, but the level of the tempering masters he met before was relatively average.

After Guru finished the forging work, Lu Heng approached him to discuss the second forging of the crossbow.

When Guru heard that Su Muyu's weapon would be forged a second time, he was very interested.

After all, Su Muyu was also someone who had helped Quenching Castle, and his reputation among him was not low.

"I have very few forging materials left now. I have to make a list and you can find someone to buy some. Some of the items above are needed for the second forged crossbow." After thinking it over, Guru made a list and handed it to Lu Heng.

After Lu Heng and Lin Zeyu came over, he gave him the list and asked him to purchase the materials.

Lin Zeyu leaned close to Lu Heng's ear and whispered, "I just received news that a quenching furnace appeared in the Lionheart Empire, causing quite a stir."
