A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

The large, dark mass in the distant mountain valley was none other than Ji Zuodao's beloved investigator brothers and sisters.

Goodness, quite a few people, maybe a hundred or so?

Judging from this situation, apart from the few unlucky ones who were eliminated, the remaining investigators on the island are probably all gathered here.

"That's strange, what are they all doing here?"

As Ji Zuodao ran, he craned his neck to look. "A party? No way... Could it be that they've discovered some new treasure?"

He squinted and looked closely—

Hey! Got it!

At the very front of the crowd, several familiar figures were running for their lives. Who else could it be but Lu Jian and his two brothers from the Jiangnan Branch?

The hundred or so people behind them all had bloodshot eyes, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they were howling and chasing forward.

"Oh—he's chasing Lü Jian!" Ji Zuodao suddenly realized.

Sigh, that's not surprising at all, really not surprising.

Being chased by so many people is nothing new to Young Master Lü! After all, he's the guy who got a pentakill in Jinghai, so what a status symbol!

"Hey guys, did you see that? Our dear brothers and sisters!"

Ji Zuodao pointed to the mountain hollow, his voice brimming with excitement, "Let's quicken our pace and bring warmth to our brothers and sisters!"

Li Shuwen, panting as he ran, asked, "Boss, isn't this heater too hot to handle?"

"Nonsense, how can it be called warm if it's not hot to the touch?" Ji Zuo retorted confidently. "Hurry up, keep up!"

What's that saying again? If you encounter a bear in the wild, you don't need to run faster than the bear, you just need to run faster than the people next to you.

Now, Ji Zuodao deeply agrees and decides to put his knowledge into practice.

The group pushed off with their feet and charged towards the sea of ​​people.

With an ordinary, unremarkable face, Ji Zuodao led his team and plunged into the pursuing crowd.

Excuse me! Excuse me! Hey buddy, move aside a little!

"Why are you pushing? Can't you see we're busy... Hmm? Which precinct are you from? You look unfamiliar."

"Pshaw, a remote little branch office, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

With a forced smile, Ji Zuodao pushed forward with all his might, "Brothers, you've worked hard! Leave the pursuit to the professionals! Let us go to the front!"

A burly man from the Northeast branch of the police station glanced at him and, quite kindly, reminded him in a deep voice:

"Brother, don't rush in too recklessly! That Lu Jian up ahead is a tough nut to crack! He single-handedly took down the entire Jinghai team! Let's slowly wear them down. If we chase too closely, they might turn around and kill us!"

"Don't worry, brother! I know what I'm doing!"

Ji Zuodao patted his chest, his face displaying an air of righteous indignation, as if saying, "Who else but me?"

"What's that saying again? 'Though there be thousands, I will go!' Today, let our team set an example for everyone!"

"He's a real man!" someone nearby gave a thumbs up.

"That's awesome!" the burly man from Northeast China exclaimed in praise.

Ji Zuodao led his team, spouting nonsense while taking the lead, and successfully squeezed through the crowd to the very front.

Then, as if they were free to roam, they rushed towards Lü Jian and the others with all their might!

"Wow! This guy's got guts! He really went for it!"

"Which branch office trained this daredevil? That's some nerve!"

"Who cares which bureau they're from, as long as they're on our side! Go for it, buddy! Let's take down Lü Jian!"

The investigators, unaware of the truth, continued to give their thumbs up, and the atmosphere became somewhat excited.

But this surge of excitement hadn't even lasted a few seconds—

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!

A terrifying, earth-shaking, and muffled sound like thunder suddenly came from behind!

The noise was much more exciting than hundreds of people running; it made the soles of your feet go numb!

"Huh?" One of the investigators stopped and turned around in confusion. "What the hell is that noise?"

He glanced back.

blinked.

I rubbed my eyes in disbelief.

"My God..." he muttered, "Am I hallucinating? Why does it look like there's a huge, dark mass of smoke coming from behind me?"

He craned his neck and strained to get another peek.

That one glance almost made his soul fly out of his head!

"Holy crap!!!"

A piercing, distorted scream rang out from the crowd.

"A monster...a monster tide! It's a monster tide! Damn it, it's really here!!!"

All the investigators turned around and looked back.

From the direction they had come from, dust billowed into the sky like a gray tsunami, sweeping toward them at an alarming speed!

Ahead of the dust cloud were more than twenty giant wolves, their tongues lolling out as they ran. The wolf king, the leader, was bald, but his eyes were filled with venom.

Behind the wolves were tens of thousands of rabbits with bloodshot eyes, leaping up like a gray sandstorm, leaving the ground three feet thinner in their wake.

Behind the rabbit were various monsters.

A vast, rumbling mass of demonic energy mixed with dust rushed towards us!

That scene was many times more terrifying than any chase involving a hundred men!

After a brief moment of deathly silence, everyone felt their scalps tingle and their souls nearly leave their bodies!

But there weren't many truly foolish people present; they immediately understood—

This isn't a natural disaster, it's a man-made one! It was those reckless bastards who led it all this way!

Almost simultaneously, everyone's gaze instantly focused on the five "brave and fearless" figures who had run to the front and were about to catch up with Lü Jian and the others.

"It's them?!"

"Was it those few bastards who led them here?!"

"What the hell did these bastards do?! Did they break some heavenly law?! They summoned all the monsters on the island?!"

"Damn it, how can they be even more despicable than those from Jinghai?"

There was no one in command, no one giving orders.

All the investigators, with remarkable tacit agreement, made the same choice—

run!

Run for your life!

The effort I put into chasing Lü Jian earlier is nothing compared to the effort I put into escaping for my life now!

They all used every ounce of strength they had, swinging their legs like wheels of fire, rushing forward with all their might!

What tactics, what coordination, what encirclement of Lü Jian...

Screw it!

Survival is the priority!

"run!!!"

Someone yelled at the top of their lungs, which instantly triggered a chain reaction.

The entire pursuing team instantly transformed from "hunters" into "prey," from "encirclement" into "routine escape," and charged forward in a frantic, chaotic mass!

Meanwhile, Lu Jian and his two companions from the Jiangnan branch, who were running at the front, were still unaware of what had happened.

As Lü Jianzheng ran, he was mentally rehearsing his own story:

"Yes! That's it! When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy tires, we harass! We'll lead them in circles on the island, wearing down their stamina and patience! Once my cultivation recovers and I return to the Dharma Aspect Realm, hmph..."

He could almost see himself making a desperate comeback and dominating the battlefield.

Then, he felt several shadows dart past him.

"Um?"

Lu Jian was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the backs of those figures that had instantly overtaken them and were running away without looking back. He was a little confused.

"What the hell darted past?"

Before he could figure it out, something even stranger happened.

Then, the massive army of investigators who had been chasing them for ages suddenly surged forward like madmen!

Moreover, they completely ignored the three main figures from the Jiangnan branch.

They were all focused on rushing forward, and their speed was incredible. In an instant, they overtook the three of them!

Lü Jian: "???"

His two teammates next to him were also stunned, running and looking back with question marks on their faces.

"No... wait, buddy, what's going on?"

"What's going on? They're not chasing us anymore?"

"What are you all doing running ahead of us?"

Lu Jian also began to have doubts:

"Could it be that my domineering aura has finally taken effect? ​​Did they feel ashamed and give up the chase? No, wait a minute, if you're going to give up the chase, at least stop! What's with you charging forward like this?"
