You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

With the successful dismantling of the second biological gas bomb, the crisis looming over Jiangcheng has been temporarily alleviated by half.

But no one dared to let their guard down.

Because everyone knows that there is still one last bomb, the most crucial one, hanging over everyone's heads like the Sword of Damocles.

The countdown left by the prophet showed that only three hours remained.

Time is running out.

After Su Jianguo delegated full authority, the entire Jiangcheng city's police force began operating with unprecedented efficiency. Lin Chen was stationed at the city bureau's command center, where countless messages and instructions were sent out and transmitted to every corner of the city.

However, the situation has reached a stalemate.

No matter how the top hackers in the cybersecurity department used the tracking paths left by Lin Chen to search, and no matter how the police officers on the ground conducted a thorough search of suspicious locations, the location of the third bomb remained like a ghost, without a trace.

It's as if it doesn't exist in this city at all.

"Report! Inspection of the Chengdong Chemical Industrial Zone completed, no abnormalities found!"

"Report! The inspection of the high-speed rail south station and its affiliated logistics park has been completed; no findings were found!"

"Report! All bridge piers of the cross-river bridge have been inspected; there is no signal!"

The disappointing reports made the atmosphere in the command center heavy once again.

Su Jianguo, Lu Zhenhua, and others stood behind Lin Chen, their brows furrowed as they looked at the city map on the big screen, which was divided into countless grids.

"What exactly does this prophet want?"

Lu Zhenhua couldn't help but say.

"He couldn't just disappear for no reason; that doesn't fit his histrionic personality."

Lin Chen didn't speak, but just held a cup of tea, his eyes fixed on the bright red, constantly jumping countdown on the screen.

【02:45:17】

He knew that the prophet was waiting.

He was waiting for the perfect moment to ignite the entire audience and give him the ultimate pleasure.

suddenly!

The huge main screen in the command center, which was over 100 square meters in size, went black without warning!

The next second, the virtual image representing the prophet, wearing a pure white faceless mask, suddenly reappeared in the center of the screen!

He was like a director who controlled the rhythm of the whole scene, appearing on time at the most crucial moment.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

The prophet's electronically synthesized, emotionless voice, accompanied by the ticking of a clock, rang out in the silent command center, sounding particularly eerie and jarring.

"Lin Chen, I have to admit, you've given me a pleasant surprise."

"You're like a clever monkey, jumping out of the cage I set for you time and time again."

The prophet's virtual image tilted its head slightly, making a gesture as if it were "appreciating" something.

"But, games, after all, must have an ending."

"I'd love to see what interesting expression will appear on your usually calm face when all your hopes are dashed and you're facing an insurmountable deadlock."

He laughed wildly, his voice filled with a morbid excitement.

"So, I've decided to stop playing hide-and-seek with you guys."

"The last bomb, my most magnificent farewell gift to this city, is located at—"

The prophet paused, as if enjoying the breathless anticipation of everyone.

Then, he revealed, word by word, coordinates that shocked everyone present.

"Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau, three underground floors, special-grade archives room."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire command center erupted in chaos!

"What? Under the city police station building?"

"That madman! He actually planted a bomb right under our noses!"

Su Jianguo's expression changed, and he immediately roared.

"Everyone! Evacuate immediately! Level One Alert! Notify the chemical defense and bomb disposal teams, and immediately seal off the third basement level!"

In an instant, alarms blared, and the entire city police station building descended into chaos as everyone scrambled to get outside.

However, amidst the chaos, Lin Chen remained standing still, motionless.

His brows furrowed tightly.

He ignored the panicked crowd around him and instead activated [God-level Psychological Profiling] and [Grandmaster-level Micro-expression Analysis], staring intently at the disappearing virtual image of the prophet on the screen.

He felt that something was wrong.

"wrong!"

Lin Chen suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of Su Jianguo and Su Qingge, who were preparing to organize the evacuation.

"The prophet is an extremely arrogant and deranged psychopath who enjoys manipulating people's minds."

"He enjoys the process of cats catching mice, and the thrill of watching his prey struggle in despair."

Lin Chen's gaze was as sharp as a scalpel, dissecting the prophet's every tiny movement.

"His deliberate decision to wait until the last minute and then announce such a direct coordinate in such a dramatic way is illogical!"

"Moreover, just as he uttered the coordinates of the 'Special Archives,' the pixel in his virtual image's left eye area experienced an extremely faint, abnormal amplification that lasted for approximately 0.g seconds! Although he used an electronically synthesized voice, the terminal frequency of the sound wave also showed an unnatural upward spike!"

Su Qingge was completely confused, but Su Jianguo was jolted awake! He suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.

"This is...this is the highest level of psychological profiling analysis within the military intelligence system! It determines the veracity of intelligence by analyzing the most subtle physiological reactions that a target exhibits when lying, reactions that are beyond conscious control!"

He looked at Lin Chen in disbelief. This young man actually knew such a national treasure-level skill.

"So...so you mean he's lying?"

Su Qingge asked anxiously.

"The city police's coordinates are fake? Then where is the real bomb?"

Lin Chen slowly closed his eyes. The two skills, [God-level Actuary Mastery] and [God-level Psychological Profiling], collided wildly in his mind, deducing all the possible psychological motivations and behavioral patterns of the prophet.

Draw all the attention in the most unlikely location...

Feint to the east while attacking in the west...

What is his most desired target?

Is it this city?

No, it's "me"!

What he wanted to see was my breakdown!

What could possibly cause "me" to completely break down?

A flash of lightning suddenly exploded in Lin Chen's mind!

He suddenly opened his eyes, and an unprecedented, terrifying killing intent that could freeze the air instantly erupted from them!

"The third bomb has landed at Jiangcheng Central Hospital!"

"He knows my dad is undergoing rehabilitation there because of what happened with Chu Yunfei! He also knows that Tingxue's teacher, Academician Zhong Beishan, one of the top neurosurgeons in China, is also there for academic exchange today!"

"That bastard! He's trying to use the most important person in my life to completely break my sanity!"
