Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

The thugs huddled on the ground, too angry to speak out, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.

The accelerator is already twisted to its limit!

The night wind brushed against Yu Jin's cheek.

The motorcycle beneath me weaved through the city, the roar of the engine drowning out the whistling wind in my ears.

"Am I playing a real-life version of Grand Theft Auto? Like the five-star wanted version?" Yi Jin couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He glanced quickly at the rearview mirror. "That ghost won't leave me alone!"

If Ember were a moviegoer in a theater right now, he would definitely applaud the professionalism of the men in black behind him.

Unfortunately, he was the fugitive who was being chased so relentlessly that he wished he could sprout wings and fly away.

"Guys, please, stop being so dedicated, okay?" Yu Jin was practically in tears. "How much do you make in a month? Why are you risking your life like this!"

Yu Jin drew his attention back ahead. The intricate streetscape unfolded rapidly before him, each fork in the road leading to the unknown.

"Alright, where should we run now?" He was completely unfamiliar with this city, like a blank sheet of paper.

The city at midnight shed the hustle and bustle of the day, and the moon hung alone in the deep sky, its cold light shining on the deserted streets, as if guiding this fugitive down a path to nothingness.

An indescribable, chilling loneliness surged up from the deepest part of his heart without warning, instantly enveloping him.

It was as if he were the only person left in the world, running wildly in the boundless night, with no origin and no destination.

at this time--

"Slap!" Yu Jin suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself across the left cheek without any mercy! "This is toxic! How did I suddenly start listening to NetEase Cloud Music?"

"The sorrow of blood is at play."

The thought had barely formed when the deadly roar of engines fiercely surrounded them from the side roads on both sides!

A dozen or so black cars instantly blocked all his way in front and to the sides! The blinding high beams completely enveloped him and his motorcycle, making him look like a prisoner on a stage.

With his escape route completely blocked, he was like prey caught in a trap!

"Oh no! Am I really going to be surrounded?" Yu Jin's heart sank. His eyes quickly scanned his surroundings, and his gaze suddenly locked onto one spot! A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "It's not over yet! Lady Luck is on my side today!"

"Attention all units! Maintain perfect blockade formation! Compress his mobility! Do not let him slip through any gaps!" The leader's voice was transmitted to every pursuer through the encrypted channel in the command channel.

The black convoy completely blocked the already narrow street.

They have completed the encirclement; the target has no chance of escape!

The team leader stared through the car window at the motorcyclist shrouded in bright light ahead.

Instead of slowing down or surrendering, the other side roared even louder and more desperately at the speed of its accelerator!

"Trying to risk their lives? Or... do they have something to rely on?" A sense of foreboding flashed through the team leader's mind.

The next second, under the watchful eyes of several people, the desperate man suddenly twisted the handlebars and charged up a long concrete slope leading to the side of a residential building!

He—flew up!

Yu Jin grinned at the burly men in black below, who were looking up in disbelief: "We still need to practice!"

The heavy motorcycle crashed solidly onto the roof of a black car!

The enormous impact caused a large section of the car to collapse instantly.

He twisted the accelerator to the floor again and sped away in the crowd's gaze!

The black cars that had been forming a perfect encirclement were now huge obstacles because they were too close together.

On the narrow streets, they tried to turn.

By the time they finally sorted out their direction, Yu Jin and his beat-up motorcycle had already disappeared into the intricate alleyways hundreds of meters away.

The city's silence was utterly shattered.

This caused considerable distress to the numerous residents who were awakened.

"Damn it! When will this end?! Last time it was those little brats causing trouble in the streets, what the hell is going on this time?!" An office worker with dark circles under his eyes suddenly pushed open the window, stuck his head out, and roared angrily toward the source of the sound.

"Can't a person get any sleep? We have to rush the project tomorrow!" came the equally irritable echo from the neighbor next door.

However, when they saw the dramatic scene unfolding on the street below, their anger instantly died in their throats, leaving them only with shock and bewilderment.

"Huh... Wait, are we making a movie?"

"What's going on? Are they chasing us by gangsters?"

In their view, a motorcycle was frantically weaving and drifting between narrow alleyways and open streets.

Behind it, more than a dozen cars were in hot pursuit.

Motorcyclists used every available terrain opportunity to narrowly evade the pursuit and interception of the four-wheeled beast time and time again.

Someone called the police.

The police said they would be there soon, but tonight's event is a stage for mixed-race people.

Yu Jin felt he still had a good chance of escaping tonight, barring any unforeseen circumstances...

"That's why I said today was just too unlucky!!" Yu Jin's grief-stricken shout was almost a roar.

He abandoned the car, which was out of gas, and used his feet to measure the ground, but soon he was completely surrounded.

The blinding high beams pinned him firmly to the wall.

Thirty-odd burly men in black silently surrounded them.

Yu Jin leaned against the cold wall, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty as he tried to communicate: "Um... brothers, let's talk this over? We haven't done anything heinous, have we? Is it really necessary to be so persistent?"

Ember tried to communicate verbally, but unsurprisingly, the communication failed, and the dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at Ember.

This indicates that the person approaching does not want to speak, and the sound of orderly footsteps is getting closer step by step.

"Alright, alright..." Yu Jin sighed, his body beginning to brace itself. If he could, he didn't want to lay a hand on these people, since he was the one who started the trouble.

at this time--

A series of soft sounds suddenly came from the gun in the man's hand!

The burly man at the head of the group suddenly stopped, a rare hint of surprise flashing across his cold eyes.

Not only him, but all the gunmen froze for a moment.

Almost instinctively, they checked their weapons and pulled the triggers, but the expected roar did not sound!

The gun... misfired?!

As the question arose over the gun misfire, a voice that was all too familiar to Ember came from above their heads:

"Hey! You're not late, are you?"

Everyone—including Ember—suddenly looked up!

On the edge of the high wall, a figure sat casually.

Her gray hair fluttered gently in the night breeze. The girl rested her chin on one hand, a leisurely smile on her face, while she waved casually at them with the other hand.

"Who is that?!" The burly men in black were instantly filled with huge question marks.

What's going on with this strange girl here? Is the weapon malfunction related to her?!

Just as they were momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of the star and their attention was briefly drawn upwards—

A figure moving so fast it exceeded the limits of visual perception silently slipped into the rear of their formation!

The figure's movements were given an unimaginable acceleration.

There was no earth-shattering noise, only blurry shadows flashing past the crowd, accompanied by dull, brief sounds of flesh colliding.

Five seconds!

Just five seconds!

As if struck precisely by an invisible hammer, the twenty-odd burly men on the periphery didn't even have time to cry out before their bodies went limp and collapsed!

As the people in front recovered from their shock above and turned around in horror to deal with the deadly threat behind them—

"Ember! What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

With a sharp shout, Xing, perched on the wall, hurled the metal baseball bat in her hand downwards! The bat didn't hit the ground; Xing leaped down gracefully, landing firmly on its feet!

And so, as if riding an invisible wind, she stepped on the suspended baseball bat and descended along the vertical wall inside the enclosure!

The baseball bat landed precisely on the chest of a burly man who had just turned around and raised his tactical knife, sending him flying like a broken sack.

Xing landed steadily, picked up the baseball bat that bounced back after he smashed the enemy, and swung it backhand to knock down another enemy who was rushing at him from the side.

She turned around and waved vigorously at the still-dazed Ember: "Don't just stand there! Let's fight!"

"No! How did you get here?!" Yu Jin blurted out instinctively.

Just then, a voice rang out from the shadows of the alleyway to the side: "Probably... because none of us can sleep." The Doctor slowly stepped out of the shadows.

"So, I came to find you."

He paused, then added, "As for how we found you..." He pointed to his temple, "we have to thank that amazing chat group."

“It seems,” the Doctor’s gaze swept over the men in black lying scattered on the ground, “that we arrived…at just the right time?”

Just then, a strong, powerful arm suddenly wrapped around Yu Jin's shoulder.

"Hey! I asked you to come over and help, and you're just chatting and spacing out here?" Xing's slightly annoyed voice rang in my ears.

Yu Jin was pulled so hard that he stumbled and turned around to look in the direction she was looking.

The group of menacing black-clad elites who had been so aggressive were now all lying on the ground.

In the center of those people, Kevin was slowly straightening up and felt Ember's gaze. He turned his head and gave Ember a thumbs up!

"I was late last time, but this time... I'm not late."

Yu Jin's gaze fell upon the three pairs of golden eyes that were now gleaming. He subconsciously shifted his gaze to the side: "Didn't you say I had something to do?"

"So that's why we're here to help, right?" Xing released her arm irritably, and patted Yu Jin on the back as she did so. "Stop talking nonsense and get going!"

Yu Jin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"Alright!" The doctor's snake sensed an unseen threat: "We should go, someone's coming."

He turned and pointed to a narrow alley: “Follow me! This way!”

Xing grabbed Yu Jin's wrist: "Alright, stop getting all sentimental here, acting like a love-starved brat."

ember:"......"

“We’re friends, isn’t it only natural that we do this?” Kevin walked to Ember’s side, a slow smile playing on his lips.

"Just like you stood in front of all of us back then, didn't you?"

"...That's different."

“Same.” Kevin’s tone became serious.

"all the same."

Just then, the doctor suddenly stopped and froze on the spot.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

A crisp, steady clapping, with an elegant rhythm, suddenly broke the silence of the alleyway.

Amidst the applause, a calm voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present:

"Touching... Your friendship is so pure and passionate, even I, an old man, feel a sense of longing for it." The owner of the voice seemed to have a hint of admiration in his smile.

The footsteps approached at a measured pace.

"but……"

"Tonight's spectacular farce..."

"...enough has been done already."

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry immense power, hammering heavily into everyone's hearts!

"Stop now, young visitors."

Hilbert Jean Angers, at this moment, has arrived!
