"Is there blood splattered on my face?" Fan Xiao asked. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Lu Xining didn't answer the question, but instead asked, "Why did you kill them so quickly? We even had to find out their identities."

"What other identities could they have? They came from school and have no connection with player organizations. They must just be two college students whose ambitions have swelled to an extreme after becoming players."

After Fan Xiao finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then corrected himself: "Well... it has nothing to do with whether or not someone is a college student. Bad people can also get into college, bad people will get old, and bad people will become players."

"Xiao, this topic change is a bit too deliberate. Are you nervous?"

Lu Xining's lips curled up slightly as she asked, "Were you very angry just now?"

"Angry?" Fan Xiao frowned. "I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

"Hmph, playing dumb."

Lu Xining said with a hint of smugness, "After hearing that guy's disgusting intentions towards me, you couldn't contain your immense anger and instinctively followed your instincts to kill them, right?"

Yes, she's not angry anymore; she's actually quite pleased and happy.

Fan Xiao's subconscious attitude and reaction just now can explain a lot.

Moreover, she discovered one of Fan Xiao's endearing traits—his arrogance.

I never expected my husband to have such a proud and aloof side, and to contradict my unintentional expressions of true feelings... Well, although he's not overly proud, he's actually quite cute.

"We should go back."

Fan Xiao sighed softly, "Don't come looking for me again for the next five days. I just accompanied you around the school today, and it has brought me to the brink of death... You're a femme fatale, and you've inadvertently amplified my bad luck."

"I do not want."

Lu Xining reached out and hugged Fan Xiao, pressing her body tightly against him. With a cool expression, she said coquettishly, "You took the commission I accepted today, and you took the things that should have been done by me, but you haven't compensated me yet. I'm angry. You have to coax me tonight before I'll be okay."

"Then you need to calm down first."

Seeing Lu Xining becoming increasingly smug, Fan Xiao smirked and said, "Because after hearing what I'm about to say, you'll be even angrier, and if you get angrier on top of angrier, won't you explode with anger?"

"What did you say?" Lu Xining asked.

“Next, I need to deal with the vice president of the Tongji Society. I feel I should be able to get a lot of secrets out of him,” Fan Xiao said. “However, finding his location won’t be easy.”

"..."

Lu Xining had a bad feeling.

The next second, Fan Xiao continued, "Finding someone by luck is undoubtedly the simplest and most convenient method. At this time, Zhi Zi should be getting out of school soon, right?"

"..."

It’s hard, the fist is hard!

She is really angry!

Chapter 387 Contact from Senior Sister

After scattering the ashes of all six enemies, Fan Xiao untied the girl lying in the trunk of the car and pulled the black stocking out of her mouth... Ugh, what a perverse sense of humor.

He then took out a bottle of Grade E healing potion from his storage space and fed it to the other party.

Before long, the girl regained her strength and was able to move around normally again.

She looked at Fan Xiao, feeling a little scared, but still mustered up her courage to express her gratitude: "Thank... thank you for saving me."

"When you were in that state, could you hear any sounds from outside?" Fan Xiao asked.

The girl was about to answer when she suddenly stopped speaking, and her body began to tremble slightly.

"I...I can't hear anything." She said in a trembling voice, "I...I had a blurry vision just now, and my mind was a mess. I didn't hear anything outside, really."

After answering, she felt incredibly nervous.

She was afraid that the other person would suddenly say to her, "You know too much."

Although she was lying in the trunk and couldn't see what was happening outside because of the angle, her hearing was fine; she heard everything she needed to hear.

Especially those piercing screams...

"Brother Fan, she's lying."

Standing next to Fan Xiao, Yan Keke pointed at the girl and tattled on her to Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao nodded.

You can tell with your own eyes that the other person isn't telling the truth.

He grinned at the girl and said, "Sorry, you know too much."

"!?"

The girl's expression of terror had barely appeared when she lost consciousness.

Soon, she woke up again amidst a shoving, and saw Fan Xiao and Lu Xining standing in front of her.

"Did...you save me?" she asked.

“You’re welcome,” Fan Xiao said. “We’re heading back to the city now. You can sit in the back. Once we get there, you can drive this car to turn yourself in… oh no, I mean, to call the police.”

"Gao Cheng, the person who kidnapped me... where did he go?"

The girl asked instinctively.

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "Are you sure... you want to know?"

"..."

The girl fell silent.

For some reason, she felt a little confused and subconsciously didn't want to delve into it, so she gave up asking.

Fan Xiao ignored her and walked to the driver's seat of the car.

Lu Xining walked to the passenger seat.

This car belongs to the kidnapper Gao Cheng. Apart from the tailgate being torn off by Lu Xining's doll, the rest of the car is intact and can still be used.

After destroying the dashcam, Fan Xiao drove the car directly towards the city with the two people inside.

On the way, Du Ruo called.

Fan Xiao activated an illusion barrier to block the girl in the back row from hearing before answering the call.

"All three missing persons have been rescued. Apart from being physically weak, mentally disoriented, and experiencing some psychological distress, they are otherwise unharmed and should recover after a period of rest."

Du Ruo got straight to the point.

"..." Fan Xiao: "When you judge whether someone is seriously injured, do you just look at whether they are dead or not? If they are not dead, then they are fine?"

"I'm just stating the objective facts. Although it's a bit inappropriate to say it like that, well... they were pretty lucky; they didn't encounter any cannibalistic players."

After a soft sigh, Du Ruo returned to the main topic, saying, "I sent people to check the place you were staying before, but there's only a ripped-up car left. Did you have a fight? Where did the suspect, Gao Cheng, go?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao pondered for a few seconds, then angrily retorted, "What's wrong with your Special Affairs Bureau?! How did you get mixed up with civilian player organizations?!"

He briefly introduced the identities of the group of people he had encountered earlier to Du Ruo.

After the introduction, he said with undiminished anger, "Do you know what that leader said to me? He said that your Special Affairs Bureau and their Tongji Association have cooperation and are bound by interests. He said that even if his subordinates kidnap a few women for fun, or even kill someone in the street, they can handle it, and you will compromise."

"That guy even advised me not to meddle, saying that the status of a D-level player is something that ordinary people can't compare to, so what's wrong with enjoying a little privilege?"

"..."

Du Ruo, on the other end of the phone, was stunned for a few seconds.

He quickly said in a serious tone, "Impossible! I know about the Tongji Society, a newly emerging civilian player organization in China. It has nothing to do with the Special Affairs Bureau. Where would there be any cooperation or interest ties? The Special Affairs Bureau represents the government and doesn't need to have any interest ties with other player organizations. Are you sure they really said that?"

"Would I lie to you about something this serious?" Fan Xiao said. "As for whether it's true or not, I don't know. But judging from the other party's confident demeanor, I think it's probably true."

"It's definitely fake..."

Before she could finish her denial, Du Ruo suddenly stopped.

He didn't rule it out completely. After thinking for a moment, he gave Fan Xiao a heads-up, saying, "Okay, I can't be sure about this either. We need to investigate first."

"What is certain is that the Special Affairs Bureau and the Kiwanis are definitely not related. As for whether certain members of the Special Affairs Bureau have any connection with this organization, that's hard to say."

"The Special Affairs Bureau has only been established for eight months at most, and the vast majority of its members are players. Some come from the police and the military, some are recruited, and some come voluntarily. The initial member screening system is not perfect, and with more people, it becomes a mixed bag."

"If some members have problems with their thoughts and actions... I hope you can understand that this is a normal phenomenon after the base has grown. That's how your information was leaked in the first place."

He paused, then sighed, "Anyway, we've been investigating people with problems recently, but this isn't something that can be resolved overnight... Wait!"

Du Ruo suddenly realized something was wrong: "With your intelligence, surely you can figure out the logic behind this? Why are you asking me?"

If I don't rebuke and question you first, how can I make you feel guilty and take the initiative to erase the fact that I killed someone in the street... Fan Xiao thought to himself.

“I have a strong sense of moral purity,” he replied immediately. “This is the first time I’ve encountered a situation like this since I became a player. The official organization is actually involved with the private player organization and is even helping them to protect criminals… Hearing this made me so angry that I was trembling all over, sweating profusely, and my hands and feet were ice cold! So, without thinking too much, I just wanted to ask you for clarification.”

"Really?" Du Ruo asked suspiciously, "Do you have a moral fastidious streak?"

"You've seen my file, so why are you still doubting it now?" Fan Xiao said. "If you don't believe me, go back and look at it again. See how many cases I've helped the police solve and how many criminals I've arrested..."

He does have a moral fastidious streak—he dislikes morally corrupt people.

He couldn't help but kill a guy like Gao Cheng, who kidnapped, raped women, and acted with impunity.

Because keeping this kind of person around means they might harm countless innocent people.

During his high school and college years, he accumulated luck and killed people everywhere, driven by this kind of mentality.

However, at that time, the Evolution Game had not yet arrived on Earth, and there were no superhumans in the world. Although he had superpowers, his body was still at the level of an ordinary person. A single bullet could kill him, so... he was extremely cautious in his actions, playing the assassination game of "Final Destination" and never revealing his identity.

As for now...

Fan Xiao felt that the Evolution Game provided him with a good environment, tearing away the constraints he had imposed on himself.

"Okay, okay, I got it." Du Ruo interrupted Fan Xiao and asked, "So, what happened to Gao Cheng in the end? Did he escape?"

"It's not just Gao Cheng; he has five accomplices."

Fan Xiao sighed softly, "This group of people not only openly disregarded the law, but also resisted my arrest after I identified myself as an assistant of the Special Affairs Bureau. They even attacked me, using props and displaying very clear murderous intent. I had no choice but to kill them all in self-defense."

"..."

"The ashes have already been scattered, so you don't need to look for any body."

"..."

Du Ruo wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Fan Xiao couldn't figure it out.

The real world isn't a copy!

How dare you go on a killing spree...

Do you know you've broken the law?

"You'd better investigate this Tongji Association thoroughly."

Fan Xiao earnestly advised, "I suspect they are the ones secretly stirring up trouble and creating drama on the player forums. The matter of the fantasy material procurement channel has now become a huge scandal, and there are more and more people stirring things up behind the scenes with ill intentions. If you want to resolve this matter as soon as possible, you should pay close attention to this organization."

“I understand,” Du Ruo replied. “We will handle this for you, so don’t cause any trouble during this time.”

“How can an individual fight against a collective?” Fan Xiao sighed. “Do you think I’m a god? That I can’t go and cause trouble? I’ve been lying low these past few days and haven’t shown my face much.”

"It's right to avoid the limelight; keep it up."

Du Ruo said, "As for assisting the Special Affairs Bureau in handling the case... you don't need to worry about that anymore. Although you acted in self-defense this time, you killed six people at once... We law enforcement officers can't just kill criminals whenever we see them, or things will get chaotic."

"There is still the trial and conviction process to follow."

"Besides, didn't I entrust this matter to Lu Xining? Why are you getting involved?"

Disregarding the rules and killing six people directly... In peacetime, this would be a very serious matter, but now, especially since the victims were players... this matter could be a big or small issue.

Du Ruo thought of Fan Xiao's past law-abiding behavior and orderly conduct... He decided to trust Fan Xiao and not pursue the matter further.

Now, he is the second-in-command at the Ancheng Special Affairs Bureau branch, after the bureau chief.

If he doesn't pursue the matter, it's equivalent to the Special Affairs Bureau not investigating it further.

"Xi Ning just happened to be with me, it was a coincidence, otherwise I wouldn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters."

After answering, Fan Xiao changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, how does your Special Affairs Bureau usually handle criminal players after they've been apprehended?"

"If the player's crime doesn't warrant the death penalty, are you going to arrest them, sentence them to prison, and put them in jail?"
