You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 439 Special Event Countermeasures Bureau!

Hualan still escaped from Chi Ping's house, holding her son and others.

After all, she saw with her own eyes that An Chongwen killed her husband!
Although this guy was like two different people before and after, she could never imagine that the smile that amused a child would appear on An Chongwen's face.

She searched An Chongwen's house, took some cash, some clean clothes and food, and put them into a large shoulder bag.

While Chi Ping (An Chongwen) was away, he quietly sneaked out of the door.

She left a hole in the zipper of the bag so that she could see the chubby face inside.

Although the space inside is cramped, this is the only solution.

In the current environment, it is extremely risky to go out on the street with a child in your arms.

As the daylight fades and night falls, the city lights in turn reflect the sky.

The towering skyscrapers are decorated with neon lights and holographic advertisements prohibiting births and breeding, as well as slogans offering rewards for reporting. The colorful lights blend in the night sky, and the virtual idols in the advertisements smile and wave to passers-by.

The air was thick with the smell of motor oil, metal, and electronics, mingled with the tang of cheap spices wafting from street food stalls. Drones swarmed overhead, making a low humming sound, each one moving like a swarm of bees.

Hua Lan, wearing An Chongwen's loose clothes, squeezed into the bustling crowd, gently patting her shoulder bag with one hand to calm down Deng Deng.

The big round eyes and crystal saliva were reflecting the faint light.

She now needed to go to a sparsely populated area and raise her child alone. The distance from the city to the suburbs was more than 20 kilometers, and she didn't dare take public transportation because if she was discovered, she would most likely be in danger.

Hua Lan herself is a D-level ability user. When her golden eyes are lit, she can burst out with amazing physical strength. Twenty kilometers is not far, but it is not close either.

She walked in the dimly lit area, trying to avoid the crowd. Wait Wait whimpered twice, and she took out a pacifier from the side of her bag and was about to put it in Wait Wait's mouth. But at this moment, she found a hooded man walking towards her.

Hua Lan wanted to avoid him, but the man seemed to be aiming at her.

When the two were close to each other, Hua Lan's heart was beating in her throat, and the man took out a slender women's watch with a metallic luster from his pocket.

"Want a watch?"

The man spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear. He was a thief, trying to sell his stolen goods.

Hua Lan waved her hand and turned away.

The man seemed to have something else in his hand. He stopped Hua Lan and reached into his arms.

The two of them collided and everything fell to the ground. The man dropped his watch and jewelry, while what fell from Hua Lan was a pacifier.

Hua Lan's heart skipped a beat, and then she left quickly.

In Chi Ping's previous life, when the police arrested criminals, they could usually guess most of the facts as long as they seized the tools used in the crime.

As for pacifiers, almost no one uses them except babies.

Many things are self-evident.

The man was silent for a moment, then pinched the pacifier in his palm and put it away.

Hua Lan was terrified, treading on thin ice, wanting nothing more than to disappear from the area quickly. Her heart was pounding, like an insect walking on a spider's web, where even the slightest jolt could bring about a fatal crisis.

until--

The drone's searchlight trapped her in the strong light, and her heart finally died.

"Please stay where you are and get checked."

A cold electronic sound rang in her ears, and infinite fear enveloped her.

Under normal circumstances, she couldn't even stand. But she was a mother now, and she had many ignorant things in her bag.

At the moment when the crisis approached, her eyes lit up golden in panic, and then her body burst out at an extremely fast speed, running towards the alley with complex terrain!

"Please stay where you are and get checked."

"First arrest warning!"

At the moment Hua Lan fled, several more drones appeared in the sky.

Their cameras were fixed on her. After three warnings, a tranquilizer bullet was fired from the drone and hit Hua Lan's calf.

She was originally a D-class user, barely stronger than an average person. She also lacked combat experience, and had no chance of winning against a drone.

As Hua Lan fell, Dengdeng in the bag pouted and started crying.

The moment the crying sound was heard, the warning light on the drone instantly turned red.

Words like "first-degree crime", "arrest immediately", and "loaded" came from the drone, constantly squeezing the lives of Hua Lan and her son.

In a society where everyone enjoys a long life, having children is considered a serious crime that squeezes out the living space of others and brings uncertainty.

Only when a person dies or cancels his/her household registration will a fertility quota be vacant.

"According to the Kingdom's security regulations, law enforcement officers have the authority to open fire on those who resist arrest and whose crimes are serious."

After the electronic voice finished speaking, the muzzle of the gun, combined with the infrared aiming, had locked onto Hua Lan and the child in her bag.

She turned around and tried to run again, but after only two steps she ended up kneeling in front of the drone. Facing the drone's camera, she placed the child behind her and crawled forward on her knees:

"I'm willing to give my life to my child in exchange for a survival indicator. Just put him in an orphanage—"

Hua Lan was sweating profusely and prayed continuously, "He is so young, he hasn't seen the world properly, and he can't remember some things clearly. When he grows up, he will forget me and become an excellent worker, soldier, or farmer, contributing to the kingdom and becoming the most loyal citizen."

"Let him go, he still has value—"

She would rather her child be exploited, would rather die, than let her child live.

But her words were soon interrupted by the sound of footsteps, the sound of leather shoes hitting the hard concrete floor.

A long and thin shadow extended from the corner of the alley.

As the shadow gradually appeared, the owner of the shadow also came into Hua Lan's sight.

This was a tall, slender man in a uniform. He looked like he was in his twenties, handsome, yet gave off an air of aloofness.

He was wearing a pair of military boots. Judging from the style of his boots, he was probably not from the same department as Chi Ping.

"I hate people like you the most," the man said softly, "Before every execution, you make me explain the reason."

He walked up to Hua Lan, squatted down, grabbed her hair, looked straight into her eyes, and said:

"It's not that your life can't be exchanged for a child's survival indicator; it's that it's not enough!"

Hua Lan looked at him, her lips trembling for no reason. She had heard of such an executioner when she was pregnant.

He likes to let people die knowingly, and then kills them after explaining the reason to them.

The mothers and children who died at his hands were at least a hundred, if not eighty. Yet, in the kingdom, such a man still enjoys the honors of being a "hero" and a "role model of professional dedication."

"No, not enough?" Hua Lan widened her eyes.

The man in front of him said slowly, "It's like a thief who stole something. When he was caught, he thought that as long as he returned the stolen item, he would be exempt from punishment.

"If he's lucky enough not to get caught, then he'll have some extra income.

“Is this right? This is not right!

“So, when I’m catching criminals, I always take the cost of crime into consideration.

"That is, when the gains from stealing are far less than the penalty for being caught, it can greatly deter theft."

At this point, Hua Lan seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes twitched suddenly.

She quickly grabbed the man in front of her, muttering, "No, no, I know I was wrong, I—"

Before she could finish her words, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

The man's finger had already pierced her chest, piercing her lung. Hua Lan coughed violently twice, and pink bubbles appeared at the corners of her mouth. This was the state of lung damage.

A drop of pink saliva flowed down the corner of her mouth and dripped onto Dongdeng's pouting face.

Waiteng also sensed that his mother seemed to be in great pain. He burst into tears again, his sunken mouth revealing four front teeth that had just emerged from the gums.

"Wait--" Hua Lan tried to reach out and wipe the saliva and tears from the child's face, but her hands kept shaking.

"So—" the man pulled his fingers out of Hua Lan's chest and said slowly, "So, if this theory is applied to people like you, you must pay a higher price, more lives, so that it can serve as a warning to those who come after you!"

As he spoke, he plunged his entire palm into Hua Lan's other lung. Death felt like it was about to descend.

When Hua Lan was a girl, her dream was to travel around the world, wear beautiful clothes, have a fashionable hairstyle, and do beautiful manicures.

But after she became a mother, her dream changed. She wanted her son to grow up healthily, and then watch him find his true love and get married.

When that time comes, you can use your own quota to exchange for an indicator for your next child.

However, everything happened so suddenly that all my thoughts became pale.

until--

A voice rang out in the alley.

"What? Did they take the credit for us?"

At both ends of the aisle stood two people, Batu and Chi Ping.

Hearing this, the man frowned.

What troubled him was not the sudden appearance of two people, but the clothes they were wearing.

Officials, from the police department.

Batu quickly took out his police ID: "From the Yunqi City Police Station."

Chi Ping followed suit and took out his ID.

The man opposite him frowned and pulled out an ID. He introduced himself as "Major of the Special Affairs Bureau, Wang Boyun."

The full name of the Special Affairs Bureau is the Special Events Countermeasures Bureau. Like the police station, it uses police ranks.

The rank of Major corresponds to a B-class esper. This is higher than the ranks of both Chi Ping and Batu, but fortunately, they are not in the same department.

When introducing himself, the other party deliberately emphasized his police rank, probably hoping that Chi Ping and the other man would give up.

Immediately, Batu cast a questioning look at Chi Ping, and Chi Ping shook his head.

After the two of them had a few drinks in the bar, Batu learned that Chi Ping did not immediately execute the mother and son. He praised Chi Ping and suggested that they be sent to the police station, as capturing them alive would be much better than killing them directly.

So the two of them came straight over.

"Major Wang." Chi Ping pointed at Hua Lan and her son. "This has been the case I've been following. It's not good for you to just snatch it away as soon as you arrive."

Wang Boyun narrowed his eyes, and a ray of cold light surged, making Batu feel the oppression unique to the special department.

He subconsciously put his hand on his waist, and when he felt nothing, he realized that he had put the guns in the warehouse when he got off work.

The firearms here are much more powerful than federal firearms and can effectively kill people with certain abilities.

"Major Wang, what you're doing is a bit excessive," Batu agreed. "How about this? We take the person away, and then we'll write a thank you letter to your unit for cooperating in the investigation. Is that okay with you?"

The thank-you letter for assisting in the investigation is equivalent to a consolation prize in the competition.

The form is greater than the actual meaning.

Wang Boyun's face immediately darkened: "What do you call the Special Affairs Bureau?"

"Brother department." Batu spread his hands and said.

Wang Boyun's eyes twitched: "What if I don't allow it?"

Batu was a little nervous, considering the other person was a B-rank user. But he couldn't lose face, so he flashed his golden eyes. "That's all we can do. After all, we're following the rules."

Wang Boyun said coldly and waved his hand. The drones behind him extended their black gun muzzles and aimed at Chi Ping and Batu.

"It seems that the Special Affairs Bureau is usually too gentle."

Fire flickered at the muzzle of the drone. In fact, Wang Boyun had no intention of killing anyone. He just wanted Chi Ping and Batu to give up.

The drone's gun was also aimed at the two people and fired around them.

but--

Chi Ping quietly snapped his fingers. [Space Traveler] quietly activated.

The silent space jump caused several bullets to hit Batu's cheeks and thighs and shoot away, instantly leaving bloody marks on his body.

Batu was very anxious: "Are you really going to do it?!"

At this moment, Chi Ping said, "I'll take care of the drone, you hold him back first!"

Having said that, without waiting for Batu to react, Chi Ping stepped on the wall and rushed towards the drone in the air.

Batu wanted to stop him, but Chi Ping rushed forward anyway. He had no choice but to rush towards Wang Boyun, swinging his fists.

Batu's ability is physical strengthening. Although he is only a C-level ability user, he can still subdue a B-level ability user if he hits the vital point.

When Wang Boyun saw Batu rushing towards him, he just thought it was ridiculous.

The former's ability is air defense, which can harden the air within a certain range and make it as hard as steel.

He raised his hand, and in his mind he could already imagine the scene of Batu's head being broken and bleeding.

But, the next second——

Batu's fist hit his temple without any hindrance!
Wang Boyun felt dizzy and was horrified to find that he couldn't move!
His ability was not activated, but he took Batu's punch head-on!
Why is that?
At this moment, all the drones behind him fell and a large amount of flames rose.

Chi Ping pretended to be exhausted, and the spatial confinement imposed on Wang Boyun was temporarily lifted.

He even changed the final position of Batu's fist, so that the fist that was originally supposed to hit Wang Boyun's chin hit him directly on the temple.

"It seems that Major Wang's level is not that good either." Chi Ping gasped heavily and looked at Batu with a smile.

Batu, on the other hand, looked at his fist in confusion.

What happened with that punch just now?

Very smooth, very easy, very direct.

Just when he was confused, Chi Ping shouted "Be careful!"
Then, Batu saw Wang Boyun pull out a pistol.

"Bang!" The bullet shot out!

It flew towards Batu's forehead, but the next second it brushed past his ear and made a big hole in the wall behind him.

Batu would throw a punch with his eyes closed as if it were a conditioned reflex!
This punch was powerful and heavy.

Chi Ping used another spatial confinement and used [Water Flow Manipulation] to control Wang Boyun's cerebrospinal fluid. The moment Batu's fist arrived, he blew his head from the inside out!

The sky was filled with blood rain, and Wang Boyun's headless body fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Batu looked at his fist, then looked at Chi Ping.

Fear surged into my heart like a tide in an instant.

In his heart, heat and cold alternated.

He muttered to himself:
"I killed the major from the Special Affairs Bureau?"
