Then, people who become addicted to drugs will obediently 'contribute' everything they have, and they have no other choice.

In the passageway of this building.

Besides Kim Won-yu, there were other poisoners, all of whom were deceived and manipulated, and all were homeless. These people were lying haphazardly, some leaning against the wall, all looking listless and dejected.

At the same time, it also emitted an unpleasant odor.

These people have fallen so low that they have lost all dignity.

A few individuals stood out; they were full of energy, even somewhat excited. They were a group of petty thugs who had used drugs.

These people have lost the basic judgment required of adult human beings, and can even easily harm their own relatives. Rather than saying they have lost their judgment, it's more accurate to say they can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Well."

When they saw Kim Won-woo, they were like vicious dogs eyeing a bone; their eyes gleamed with lust, and their drooling expressions were chilling.

Visual drugs are characterized by encryption and time-sensitivity.

The expiration date is the limit on the number of times it can be used. Once the limit is exceeded, it will disappear, just like it has actually been consumed.

Kim Won-yu was the one who controlled them.

"We have prepared ample goods for you, for those who act first."

In a word.

Kim Won-soo's words sent a jolt of adrenaline through them, like an electric shock. A moment later, he watched their retreating figures with a sinister smile. At the same time, the surrounding scenery transformed, becoming something like the ancient Roman amphitheater.

Not far away is the self-supporting machine.

The self-standing machine has four robotic arms, with a laser drill bit and a hacksaw for cutting at the end.

It appears to be extremely aggressive.

These were the only weapons Kim Won-yuji possessed, provided by the supplier. What was their purpose? Kim Won-yuji, of course, had no idea.

"...That's about enough. Okay..."

Kim Won-yu was prepared; he knew this day would come sooner or later. He glanced at the memory card in his hand, his expression somewhat subtle.

Then I inserted the memory card into the empty slot on the self-standing machine's control panel.

Photosensitive polymer, standard holographic memory method.

The surface of the memory card bears the words "Johnny Mnemonic," seemingly written by the manufacturer. It activates the moment the memory card is inserted. This tiger-like machine, like a jaws wide open, searches for its prey.

After Kim Won-yuji prepared for the operation, the others began searching as well.

Lin Yan remained silent.

Tsunemori followed behind Seiryu, but would occasionally glance at Lin Yan, though his expression revealed no emotion.

He wondered to himself, "What is he thinking?"

“If the suspect escapes… then we…” Chang Shouzhu ran a few steps to Lin Yan’s side. Actually, she felt quite safe, after all, the last time it was all thanks to Lin Yan’s strength that things went so smoothly.

"Shh-"

Lin Yan made a shushing gesture.

Chang Shouzhu quickly shut her mouth. She trusted Lin Yan and didn't want to be a burden to him. Her earnest expression was quite adorable, with her wide, round eyes, slightly chubby cheeks, and fair, rosy skin.

Zheng Lu also stopped in his tracks.

At the same time, faint footsteps approached from afar, growing clearer as they became, indicating that someone was getting closer. Lin Yan drew his Dominator, and the others followed suit.

Sudden--

Tsunemori Akane's arm was tugged.

At the same time, a burly young drug addict leaped up, wielding a huge iron rod, and swung it at Tsunemori Akane with all his might, aiming to kill him, and targeting Tsunemori Akane's vital point—his head.

"what."

Tsunemori Akane was both shocked and frightened, never expecting the drug addict to attack from behind, which was part of Kim Won-soo's strategy. She fell into Lin Yan's arms in an instant, but it was only a fleeting touch before Lin Yan pulled her behind him.

At the same time, Lin Yan fired his gun with perfect accuracy.

Anesthesia mode.

The man groaned and collapsed to the ground.

"Are you okay?"

"It's nothing, thank you... I..." Lin Yan's sharp eyes glanced at the other drug addict, and Tsunemori swallowed the rest of her words. The other person, however, was willing to do anything, using his companion as a shield to retreat quickly.

The man revealed a cunning smile.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, he vaguely saw a blurry image. Was it a person? Or a monster? Before he could figure it out, he was kicked hard in the stomach, as if struck by a heavy hammer, his stomach churning. Then, pain shot through his jaw, which felt like it was about to be shattered, before he finally slammed heavily against the wall.

In the end what happened?

Why did it fall to the ground?

Consciousness gradually faded.

The most astonished was Tsunemori Akane. She simply couldn't believe her eyes. How did he get to that position? Why did it feel like it was over in a flash?

Was it really Lin Yan who defeated that person?

From the current scene, it's like this... Her mouth was wide open, and her eyes still showed a shocked expression.

"You'll get used to it, Miss Inspector."

Zheng Lu seems to have gotten used to it.

In fact, while the system was having Lin Yan take their place, some of his unique memories and experiences were also etched into everyone's memories. Therefore, for them, Lin Yan was a familiar person, not a stranger. In the end, Lin Yan successfully anesthetized him using the Dominator's anesthesia mode.

then--

Another drug addict appeared at the crossroads.

The ruler sounded the alarm.

"Warning: Explosives - Construction analysis initiated - Threat level updates will be retained until analysis is complete..."

"It's a bomb vest!! You could get blown up in no time! Are you kidding me?!"

Lin Yan calmly watched the fourth drug addict appear, a wicked smile playing on his lips as he beckoned with his finger.

He had only one thought in his mind—to finish this quickly.

This was also a burly man, wearing a black vest, and most importantly, he was carrying plastic explosives over the vest. While these plastic explosives weren't particularly powerful, the quantity was considerable, and if they were held close to a person, they would be extremely dangerous.

At least it's safe to say it could kill people.

Tsunemori Akane also saw the plastic bombs, and a look of doubt appeared in her eyes again. Why would these homeless people have bombs? This world has very strict regulations on such offensive and destructive weapons. For example, even the rulers have restrictions on their authority.

Moreover, this is a weapon.

Weapons of mass destruction.

Moreover, the plastic bomb was glowing, clearly indicating it had been activated. It must be a countdown bomb; how long would it take to explode? Tsunemori Akane was still somewhat confused as to why they would take such an extreme action. This left them with no way out.

What should we do in this situation?

Tsunemori Akane pondered: should she use the tranquilizer mode to fire now? No, that wouldn't work. If the target fell, wouldn't it cause the bomb to explode? After all, it might not be a countdown bomb; what if it was a pressure bomb?

When Tsunemori Akane felt lost, she saw that firm yet powerful and gentle gaze.

This look.

She knows it very well.

"give it to me."

Lin Yan said.

His gaze calmed Chang Shouzhu's hesitant and uneasy eyes, while Lin Yan had already devised a strategy to deal with the situation. Rather than a strategy, it was more like a crushing defeat.

If he can't even handle these small fry, then can Lin Yan still be considered the God of Flames?

Then.

Let this pathetic fellow see what it's all about.

This world cannot imprison him.

He pushed off the ground with his foot, his entire body shooting forward like a bullet. By the time his opponent reacted, his wrist was already grabbed. The powerful force was like being restrained by iron clamps, leaving him completely unable to move. His body was pinned down by the elbow joint.

He kicked it.

The drug addict's face still showed a look of astonishment before his body crashed into the glass, exploding in mid-air.

Boom——

There was a loud bang.

The shockwave from the explosion shattered the surrounding glass, and the entire space trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.

Such a person is not worth saving.

Lin Yan made his choice. He could save a pitiful woman who had been coerced, but he could not forgive a man who had willingly fallen into depravity. Tsunemori Akane probably hadn't expected Lin Yan to use such a radical method to solve the problem, and Seiryu smiled.

"What if it explodes on the way... But you really do surprise us as always. If it were me, it would be a shock."

Tsunemori Zhu stood there, stunned.

However, a different feeling flickered in his eyes. What kind of feeling was it?

0036 Worship [Please Subscribe]

It was a subtle feeling of admiration, a feeling that others couldn't easily perceive, even Tsunemori Akane seemed unaware of it. However, that tiny bud had already sprouted in her heart.

Tsunemori Akane was a bright child from a young age, and her talent was the envy of everyone around her.

Especially classmates and parents.

This is the typical "other people's child".

Chang Shouzhu, who achieved such excellent results, was the only student out of 500 to score 700 points.

This prodigy young woman chose to become an Inspector in search of a lifestyle that only she could live. As she herself said, she actually had many choices, but she still chose the profession that Sibylla recommended as the most suitable.

Is this considered a reasonable allocation of resources?

Optimal allocation?

Although Tsunemori Akane was naturally intelligent, there were clearly things she couldn't understand.

Although he does not agree with the composition of the Sibyl system and the practice of concealing their true identities from the public, Akira Tsunemori acknowledges the irreplaceable role of the Sibyl system in stabilizing Japanese society today.

She often reflects on her own values, setting aside personal likes and dislikes in the face of various choices and prioritizing social welfare. This is influenced by her family education, her surrounding environment, and her school education.

This is a blank sheet of paper.

She is clean and pure.

So much so that in 2118, he was detained in a quarantine facility on charges of murder, and the crime rate was not disclosed at the time of his arrest.

This resulted in the supervisor's authority being revoked.

Tsunemori Akane's identity underwent a complete transformation, which is precisely the absurdity of this world: such a kind and upright girl could easily become a so-called 'potential criminal'.

Ultimately, this ruler was a coward.

He, she, or it must nip all potential threats in the bud.

Lin Yan was well aware of this.

So--

What exactly was Tsunemori Akane thinking?

If Tsunemori Akane still wants to remain an inspector, then Lin Yan might grant her wish. After all, Tsunemori Akane is the only person Lin Yan finds agreeable in this world. It's like seeing a vibrant, tender green plant struggling to survive in a barren desert; it evokes pity and a desire to let it live.

Chang Shouzhu smiled slightly.
