Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

Xu Fugui stood up, his eyes reddening again.

"Director Li, I'm leaving them... in your care."

"Don't worry," Director Li solemnly promised.

He glanced at his watch; it was almost 5 p.m., shouldn't he be off work?

"Comrade Xu, we'll be going now. We'll definitely deliver the things tomorrow."

"No rush, no rush, you should take care of your business first," Xu Fugui quickly said.

Director Li nodded, then took Xiao Wang and the two dogs and turned to leave.

Xu Fugui stood at the door, watching their figures disappear.

After a long while, he slowly closed the door, leaned against it, and let out a long sigh.

"Da Mao, Da Mao, you must stay safe..."

Director Li and Xiao Wang walked briskly down the empty street, leading two dogs.

"Chief, can these two dogs really handle that thing?" Xiao Wang couldn't help but ask.

Director Li remained silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know, but this is the only way at the moment."

He paused, then added, "At least we're doing something, which is better than just waiting around."

Xiao Wang nodded and said nothing more.

They didn't know if these two black dogs could really fight off evil spirits.

They didn't know when this bloody revenge would end.

All they knew was that they had to do something.

Even if the hope is slim.

Even if the future is uncertain.

Because it is their duty.

It was they, as police officers, who made the final stand.

Stay until school ends.

At Hongxing Primary School, the children couldn't wait to rush out of the classroom as soon as school was over.

Lin Tian leaned against the old locust tree, his gaze sweeping over the surging tide of students leaving the school gate like a hawk.

The gaze eventually settled on Sun Shan, the foreman's eight-year-old son, who was chasing and playing with several classmates, his small satchel bouncing around.

"Sun Shan!"

Sun Shan stopped and turned around, his eyes initially filled with confusion, then he recognized Lin Tian, ​​and a wary look appeared on his face:

"It's you? Didn't you get enough last time?"

Lin Tian smiled slightly, a smile that seemed far too mature for an eight-year-old child: "It was a misunderstanding last time. I have something to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

Sun Shan hugged his bag tightly, and his two classmates curiously came over.

"Your sister didn't come to pick you up today?" Lin Tian deliberately looked around. "Isn't Sun Ting in high school nearby?"

Sun Shan frowned: "You know my sister?"

"Of course, your dad, Foreman Sun, and my dad became friends after a fight."

Lin Tian told a smooth lie, "Factory Director Yang hosted a small gathering today and asked me to tell your kids to go. Where's your sister?"

"My sister is on duty today, so she wants me to go home first."

Sun Shan seemed to relax a bit. "What kind of gathering? My dad didn't tell me."

Of course your dad didn't tell you that you were going to get your lunchbox at 2:30 pm.

"It was a last-minute decision."

Lin Tian took a step forward. "Let's go, I'll take you. Xiong Xiaohua and Xiong Chumo will go too."

Sun Shan's eyes lit up: "Really? Even the 'Bear in the Woods' are going?"

He turned to his classmate and said, "I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."

Lin Tian chuckled inwardly; the world of children is truly simple.

He led Sun Shan toward the alley behind the school, a place usually deserted.

"What about the others? Weren't they supposed to be going with the 'Boonie Bears' crew?" Sun Shan asked.

"They're already waiting over there," Lin Tian pointed deeper into the alley. "Look, isn't that the bear?"

There was indeed a sturdy boy standing at the alley entrance; it was Xiong Chumo, the son of Xiong Da with a thick beard.

There was a little girl next to him, Xiong Xiaohua, the youngest daughter of Fatty Xiong Er.

"Sun Shan!"

The bear waved its hand, "Lin Tian said Factory Manager Yang is treating us to ice cream!"

Lin Tian nodded and walked up to the two children: "That's right, Uncle Yang prepared ice cream of all flavors, and Liu Panpan and Liu Paopao are also going."

Little Bear blinked her big eyes: "Where's my brother, Bear Chushan?"

"He's already over there," Lin Tian lied without batting an eye. "Let's go, don't keep Uncle Yang waiting."

The three children followed Lin Tian deeper into the alley.

The setting sun cast long shadows of them, and the alley grew quieter and quieter.

"Lin Tian, ​​this doesn't seem to be the way to Uncle Yang's house." Sun Shan suddenly stopped, his intuition issuing a warning.

Lin Tian turned around, his face still bearing that gentle smile: "This is a shortcut. Uncle Yang is waiting for us in the warehouse behind the factory. There's air conditioning there, so the ice cream won't melt."

"storehouse?"

"My dad said kids aren't allowed in the warehouse," the bear complained.

"Today is special."

As Lin Tian spoke, he took out a few fruit candies from his pocket. "Have some candy first, we'll be there soon."

The children took the candy, and Xiong Xiaohua happily unwrapped it.

Sun Shan hesitated for a moment, but still put the candy in his mouth.

No child can resist the temptation of candy.

After walking for a few more minutes, they arrived at the backyard of an abandoned warehouse.

The place was piled high with rusty machine parts and overgrown with weeds.

"There's no one here," Sun Shan said, looking around with unease in his voice.

"It's inside."

Lin Tian pushed open a half-closed iron gate. "Look, Liu Panpan and the others have arrived."

The warehouse was dimly lit, with only a few rays of the setting sun shining obliquely through the broken windows.

There were indeed several children sitting on the ground.

Liu Panpan, daughter of Section Chief Liu of the Security Department, and Liu Paopao, son of Liu Xiaoqiang, and Liu Lu.

But they were all strangely quiet, leaning against the wall without moving.

"What happened to them?"

Xiong Xiaohua asked in a low voice, hiding behind her brother.

Lin Tian gently closed the door, the latch clicking shut with a dull thud.

"They're tired, they should take a rest."

Lin Tian's voice echoed in the empty warehouse, "Just like you're about to take a break too."

Sun Shan finally realized something was wrong and turned to run, but his legs suddenly went weak and the scene in front of him began to spin.

"There's... in the sugar..."

He collapsed to the ground before he could finish speaking.

The bear tried to rush towards the door, but stumbled and fell after only two steps.

Xiong Xiaohua was the last to fall. Her big eyes were filled with confusion and fear before she slowly closed them.

Lin Tian stood quietly, confirming that everyone had lost consciousness.

"Sun Shan? Sun Shan, are you inside?"

A woman's shouts came from outside the warehouse.

Lin Tian quickly hid behind a pile of abandoned machines.

The iron gate was pushed open, and a high school girl with a ponytail peeked in. It was Sun Ting, Sun Shan's older sister.

"Sun Shan?"

Sun Ting walked into the warehouse, still holding her schoolbag. "Is anyone here?"

When his gaze fell on the people lying on the ground, his expression changed immediately; one of them was his younger brother.

"Sun Shan!"

Sun Ting shouted, her voice tinged with obvious panic.

"Bang!!"

Lin Tian struck her on the head with a stick, splitting the melon open on the spot. It wasn't ripe yet, and it wasn't completely red.

"Perfect, saves me the trouble of looking for you."

He took out the notebook that Director Yang had taken with him when he fled. The cover read "Death Note." He opened to the latest page, which already listed several names:

Sun Shan ✓

Sun Ting✓

Bear in the Woods ✓

Little Bear Flower ✓

Bear out of the mountain✓

He ticked each name and then wrote on a new line:

Family members of Xiong Da and Xiong Er - 0

Other relevant personnel in the institute - to be confirmed

Lin Tian closed his notebook, picked up an axe that was as red as could be, and said, "You guys better watch out when you're reincarnated in your next life."

I didn't want to either, but if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring.

I am a living example.
