Chapter 167 Ability Criminal
The vehicle continued its momentum after hitting the wall, flipping over completely under its immense inertia. It slid nearly ten meters upside down before coming to a stop in the middle of the slope. A burnt smell filled the air, and scattered parts and broken glass littered the road.

Youchi stood there, stunned.

What did he just see?
The SUV crashed into Chen Xuan, then bounced off before going uphill?
Chen Xuan barely moved from beginning to end. Even when the car sped past him, he remained unmoved, as if he had anticipated the situation!
Hundreds of cars pass through the underground parking garage exits every day; if such a hazard existed, it would have been discovered long ago. Therefore, the situation just now could only have been caused by Chen Xuan, and this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. Only someone "battle-hardened" could remain so calm and collected.

The problem is that I can't figure out how he did it at all!

A healing aura that can overturn a two-ton SUV in the blink of an eye? The Limits Agency looks down on his level?

Looking back now, swimming in the pool seems a bit funny.

"Notify all disciples to assist in sealing off the scene and guiding tourists. The suspect has been apprehended."

After giving these instructions to his assistant, You Chi got off the bus and ran towards the underground parking lot.

……

Chen Xuan turned and went to the overturned vehicle, where he saw the driver trying to climb out of the broken window—his face was covered in blood, his sunglasses were gone, and a section of the bridge of his nose was sunken in, clearly indicating that he had been seriously injured by the steering wheel.

Without a doubt, this person is the one who cast the curse.

The moment the vehicle sped out of its parking space and headed towards the exit, Chen Xuan had already blocked it at the ramp entrance. He also took advantage of his Divine Eye Technique's long-range vision to scan the vehicle with a barcode scanner.

The first ability on the screen is the blue "Curse of Misfortune" LV1.

"To appear happy is to make everyone else unhappy. Open your eyes and let the world feel pain!"

Putting aside the increasingly inhumane store descriptions, the name of this ability itself is quite intriguing.

Because it has a structurally different name from the abilities of those "sick" individuals.

This inevitably reminded Chen Xuan of the flesh-and-blood hunger that had been forced upon him, which also began with a curse followed by a colon, similar to the format of "Curse: Curse of Misfortune." Did this mean that the curse he received also existed in multiple copies?
The source power of the Blood Curse... probably has the same effect as the "Curse of Doom," which is to bestow the thirst for flesh upon anyone He chooses.

Of course, the effects of the two curses and the people who cast them are completely different.

"Please...save me, my leg seems...broken..." The man had only climbed halfway out when he got stuck at the window and had no choice but to plead pitifully with Chen Xuan for help. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, but with blood constantly flowing from his nose and mouth, he looked even more miserable.

However, this is only his outward appearance.

Chen Xuan had not forgotten that he had already used this ability to cause the deaths of more than a hundred innocent people.

What's even more incomprehensible is that killing seems to bring him no benefit, yet he still does it.

So Chen Xuan bent down, grabbed the back of his collar, and yanked him out of the car. The shattered and deformed car window frame tore his skin open, and the man screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered.

Clang.

Suddenly something slipped out of his ripped pocket, fell to the ground, and bounced twice.

That was clearly a mobile phone.

The man's expression changed drastically, and he turned to grab the phone. But how could Chen Xuan allow the man to do that in front of him? He kicked the man's hand away and picked up the phone first.

Its outer shell was cracked, but it could still be lit.

"What, is this thing that important? You'd snatch it back even if your leg were broken?" Chen Xuan teased.

"Give it back to me!" The man was both angry and anxious, but having witnessed Chen Xuan's methods before, he dared not resist at all.

Chen Xuan didn't bother arguing with him. He simply walked behind the man, grabbed his head, and pointed it at the phone. The face unlock function still worked, and the first thing that popped up after the screen opened was the contacts list. Perhaps just a few minutes ago, he had been trying to contact someone using this phone.

These matters should not have been Chen Xuan's responsibility.

Moreover, the police and disciples of Beitianmen were also catching up from behind, and he could already see their figures out of the corner of his eye.

However, he still curiously swiped up and down.

Just then, a familiar name caught his eye.

The communication records between the two parties took up most of the screen, with at least dozens of calls, making it hard to miss.

This person's name is Lu Lixin.

……

You Chi carried two cups of milk tea to Chen Xuan and handed him one of them, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

The police took over the arrest procedure for the criminal.

The overturned vehicle was also surrounded by police officers, who wanted to see if they could find any other valuable clues.

The airport temporarily closed the CD area of ​​the parking lot, but the functions of other areas were largely unaffected. Apart from a very few witnesses in the parking lot at the time, most tourists were unaware that a raid had taken place inside the airport building, and the entire operation was a great success.

"I'm fine, but you guys... I didn't expect you to be able to lock onto the target so quickly." Chen Xuan took the milk tea and replied nonchalantly.

He wasn't just being polite; he was telling the truth.

From the initial analysis of medical records and meticulous investigation of patients to the rapid identification of the airport area and the deployment of a comprehensive search for suspects, the efficiency demonstrated by the Beijing Institute of Atmospheric Health (BIHHH) was evident. Essentially, this was still a plan for dealing with infectious diseases, not exceeding their area of ​​expertise. However, considering the specific execution level, BIHHH's organizational capabilities even surpassed those of most foreign governments.

It's important to understand that Jiangcheng International Airport handles at least tens of thousands of passengers daily, and has two large terminals. The ability to precisely divide patrol areas within this maze-like architecture, coordinate shifts between different groups, and extract a clue to the truth from a vast amount of data is a task that not every organization can accomplish.

"The key to making this possible is because of you," You Chi said earnestly. "If no one could confirm whether the outer disciples were truly ill, then the foundation of this operation plan would be nonexistent. The final capture was another example; I almost thought you wouldn't make it..."

"I didn't expect your dean to send a helicopter to pick me up," Chen Xuan couldn't help but complain.

When he received Sun Suigong's call, his first reaction was that he couldn't go. The airport was far beyond the Third Ring Road; it would take him at least an hour and a half by taxi. However, the other party's next words were, "Where are you? I have a plane to pick you up."

So Chen Xuan boarded a helicopter in the park outside Tianlu Community.

Many passersby witnessed the scene and speculated about which family's young master he was.

It was also on the plane that Chen Xuan overheard You Chi's entire deployment, which allowed him to monitor the suspect's location in real time. When he learned that the suspect was heading towards the underground parking lot, he immediately instructed the pilot to take him to the appropriate exit.

"I see," You Chi said, suddenly understanding.

The North Tianyuan Institute has its own radio channel. The modified bus is essentially a mobile command vehicle. As long as it connects to the channel, it can hear internal conversations. The helicopter, which is exclusively owned by the North Tianyuan Institute, naturally has this privilege.

"You came at just the right time. If he had rushed out of the airport, who knows how much trouble he would have caused? The difficulty of keeping it a secret is a real headache." He praised sincerely, "I was shocked when I saw the SUV crash into you on the surveillance footage. I didn't realize I was so naive."

It's a bit embarrassing to be praised so much to one's face by someone your own age. Chen Xuan changed the subject, "Is it okay to hand over criminals to the police? The Security Agency is cooperating with them now, right?"

"Don't worry, the Jiangcheng police are divided into many departments. The Beitian Academy has existed for a thousand years. How could it be inferior to a newcomer when it comes to building connections?" You Chi smiled. "The authorities may find out about this, but that will be after we finish the interrogation."
