Jinghai City, city center.

Here stands a special official building.

The exterior walls are made of explosion-proof materials, and the windows are made of specially made bulletproof glass, all of which reveal that it is not simple.

This is the Earthly Punishment Bureau.

Compared to the patrol stations, which are basic institutions for resolving incidents involving ordinary people, the local authorities are quite different.

It is specifically designed to handle various special cases.

It is responsible for things such as secret warriors committing crimes, enhanced humans causing trouble, and modified humans going out of control.

The members within the Earthly Expeditionary Bureau are mostly such powerful individuals.

At this moment, on the third floor.

Inside the office of the group leader.

Xu Jiang was sitting behind his desk, looking at a document.

He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, around forty-five or forty-six years old, a little overweight, with thinning hair.

But if you look further down, you'll find something wrong.

This person's hands, however, are not flesh.

Starting from the wrist, the entire mechanical arm is made of stainless steel.

With the sleeves rolled up, you can see the metal extending all the way to the shoulders.

Even his feet were mechanical; through his trouser legs, one could see a faint shimmering silver metallic sheen.

Even the left eye isn't real; it's a simulated mechanical eyeball.

This type of person is a semi-modified human.

The body is partially modified, using the most basic modification parts; its strength depends mainly on its combat capabilities.

For beings like them, the minimum combat power is 10, while Xu Jiang's combat power is 15.

Besides semi-modified humans, there are also basic fully-modified humans, advanced fully-modified humans, and so on.

The fully-built cyborg only retains its brain; the rest is entirely mechanical.

The materials vary, and the strength increases progressively, making their combat power extremely terrifying.

"Knock knock".

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Go in." Xu Jiang said without even looking up.

The door opened, and Bai Xue walked in.

She is also a semi-cyborg, with a combat power of 10.8.

Her right arm and right leg are mechanical, and her left eye is a mechanical eye.

She was 23 years old, had short hair, and was quite pretty.

"Team leader." Bai Xue placed a document on the table.

"There's a new case here."

Xu Jiang put down what he was holding, picked up the document, and opened it.

The first page features a photo of Su Han.

The information shows that he is nineteen years old and a college student.

The following are listed crimes: murdering parents, seriously injuring sister, murdering Zhang Qu, the head of the Tai'an Road patrol station, murdering two patrolmen, murdering neighbor Zhao Mu, and today murdering forty-three patrolmen in Jiayuan Community...

Strength assessment: Suspected to be a secret martial art with hidden strength; fighting style belongs to the Celestial Phenomenon Secret Martial Art.

Danger level: Low.

"The patrol station couldn't handle it, so it was escalated to us."

Bai Xue spoke with a hint of indignation in her voice.

"This man murdered his parents, harmed his sister, and killed so many patrolmen."

"This is absolutely heinous!"

"Team leader, I request permission to go and arrest him."

Xu Jiang remained silent.

He simply continued to flip through the documents, examining each page very carefully.

"Team leader?" Bai Xue waited for a while, then couldn't help but ask again.

Xu Jiang looked up at her, said, "Just put it here."

"Then the arrest..."

"Let's talk about it in a few days."

Xu Jiang closed the document, put it aside, and picked up the thing he had just been looking at.

Seeing the team leader's reaction, Bai Xue was stunned and hurriedly spoke up.

"Team leader, this case is so serious, why are we waiting?"

"What if he kills someone else?"

Xu Jiang didn't explain, he just waved his hand.

"You can go out now."

"But……"

"This is an order," Xu Jiang said, his voice becoming more subdued.

Bai Xue opened her mouth, but in the end, she swallowed her words back.

She glanced at Xu Jiang, then turned and walked out of the office with a sigh.

In the corridor.

Snowy stomped forward angrily, her footsteps making a loud thud on the floor.

"Hey, Xiaobai, who made you angry?"

A gruff voice came from behind.

Bai Xue looked up and saw Wang Baihu walking towards her from the opposite side.

This person is a veteran member of the human-level group, nicknamed Tiger.

He is a superhuman enhanced by a secret warrior and a enhancement fluid, with a combat power of 12.

He had a big bald head, a burly build, and was at least 1.9 meters tall, as strong as a bear.

He looks fierce, but he's actually quite kind.

"Brother Tiger," Bai Xue called out, still with a stern face.

Seeing Bai Xue's aggrieved expression, Wang Baihu approached and asked.

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your team leader?"

"No," Bai Xue said.

"There's a case... I wanted to arrest someone, but the team leader wouldn't let me."

"What case?"

"A man named Su Han killed more than forty patrolmen, and..."

Bai Xue made a resentful expression and firmly believed it.

"This person is extremely guilty and should be arrested immediately!"

Upon hearing Bai Xue's account, Wang Baihu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He naturally knew some of the inside information, but he didn't intend to reveal it; he simply offered words of comfort.

"The team leader must have his reasons for saying to wait a few days." He patted Bai Xue on the shoulder.

"Listen to the team leader, you can't go wrong."

"But!"

"No buts," Wang Baihu interrupted her.

"The rules of the Earthly Punishment Bureau are to obey orders, don't you know that?"

Bai Xue bit her lip and didn't say anything.

Wang Baihu offered a few more words of comfort before continuing with his work.

Bai Xue stood there, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She had been with the Earth Condemnation Division for half a year and had been on several missions, but she had only ever been an assistant and had not played any significant role.

She was so eager to prove herself, especially since she finally had a case that wasn't too difficult but was of a serious nature.

We can't just let it go like this.

They won't let me do it, so I'll do it secretly on my own.

However, Bai Xue also knew that if she acted on her own, she would be scolded by the team leader afterward, regardless of whether the matter succeeded or not.

I need to find someone to do this with me.

She took out her phone, thought for a moment, and made a call.

"Hello, Xiao Zhou? This is Bai Xue. I have a mission for you. Are you coming? Yes, okay, see you at the door."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xue quickly walked towards the elevator.

At the entrance of the Earthly Punishment Bureau.

A young man was already waiting there.

The man was in his early twenties and quite handsome, but his left arm was mechanical.

His name is Zhou Ming, and he is also a semi-modified human with a combat power of around 11.

Zhou Ming has a crush on Bai Xue, and many people in the Earth Expeditionary Bureau know this.

Now, as soon as he heard that Bai Xue needed his help, he rushed over without hesitation.

"Sister Xue, what kind of mission is it?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Come with me to catch someone."

Bai Xue then briefly explained Su Han's situation, including the cases he had committed and Zhou Ming's assessment of his abilities.

"The longer this scumbag gets away with it, the more likely he is to kill someone else."

"The team leader told me to wait a few more days, but I can't wait."

"I need to catch this person as soon as possible. Zhou Ming, you'll help me, right?"

Upon hearing that Bai Xue had acted without authorization, Zhou Ming hesitated again.

"This...isn't it a bit inappropriate to act without authorization?"

"Are you scared?" Bai Xue turned to look at him.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just..." Zhou Ming scratched his head, unsure how to begin.

"Then you should go back." A look of disappointment appeared in Bai Xue's eyes as she turned to leave.

"No, no, no!" Zhou Ming quickly grabbed her.

He hardened his heart and readily agreed.

"I'll go, I'll go, okay?"

Bai Xue then stopped and smiled.

"That's more like it. Let's go find out where he went."
