Dragon Gate Swordsman

He obediently put on his uniform, took the elevator downstairs, and then got into the police car that Chen Huijie parked outside the community... The feeling of just becoming a policeman came back, except that his partner had changed from Haoyun to Xiaolongnu.

But just these words are not enough to kill Chongxiao.

The real problem is that the situations that the grassroots police officers need to deal with are just...too boring for him, an elite member of the special inspection team.

Dealing with traffic disputes, checking for safety hazards, mediating disputes between passers-by, in short, these are all trivial matters that Chongxiao feels do not require the police to intervene.

Of course, this was based on his level of understanding back then. In fact, ever since the Guard Bureau officially became the public security management agency for the entire mobile city, the focus of daily work has shifted from combating criminal activities to these more down-to-earth aspects.

However, Chongxiao discovered that although he was the ace of the special inspection team and the strongest person in the Guard Bureau, he was completely unable to handle two old ladies who were arguing over buying vegetables, and he didn't know how to determine the responsibility for a minor traffic accident.

Well, it doesn’t matter if you’re a little shameless, but… why is Xiao Long Nu handling all this so effortlessly! ?

"I have been studying the professional skills training manual for joining the Guard Bureau for the past two years."

“…You’re awesome!”

Upon discovering that he, who had always been regarded as the symbol of Longmen police, was completely defeated by the "newcomer" Chen Huijie, Chongxiao's only reaction was to lie down dead.

According to the current regulations of the Guard Bureau, patrol officers' duty hours are from 8 am to 8 pm, followed by 24 hours of rest time... At least two-thirds of the duty time must be spent on street patrols, and the routes are also arranged in advance.

However, if you encounter a situation that needs to be handled or receive an alarm during patrol, you can stop and complete the work before continuing.

Normally the routes pre-planned by the headquarters are too long and there are many overlaps between them, just to make the duty mission seem less rigid. After all, the focus is on police work, not running the prescribed route.

In other words, headquarters never thought about the possibility that patrol officers could handle all the situations they encountered along the way and then complete the journey.

But now, Chen Huijie has done it.

Before four o'clock in the afternoon, the two men arrived at the edge of the S-2C plot, which was also the end point of the scheduled patrol line.

In addition, they resolved all the problems encountered during patrol, as well as the situations reported by the two police calls...

No one can deny that Chongxiao's reputation and the suppressive aura he brought with him wherever he went made it easier to solve the problem, but such high efficiency still proved Chen Huijie's excellence as a police officer.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

Outside the police car parked high up, Chen Huijie, who had been busy for seven hours in a row, leaned on the car door and looked at the city below.

The soft light sprinkled on her smooth forehead, and the slightly warm breeze blew her long blue hair.

As for Chongxiao...he felt that he didn't help much, so he volunteered to buy fast food.

After all, neither of them had lunch yet.

A few minutes later, a hot hamburger was handed to Chen Huijie.

"Eat quickly. You can't be a good police officer if you're hungry."

He thought that Xiao Longnu would say some high-sounding words with a stern face, but he didn't expect her to just reach out and take it and start eating, and she did it in a very voracious manner.

For some reason, at this moment, Chen Huijie finally looked like a freshman who had just graduated from college...

"…Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Maybe it's because you look better now than usual."

As soon as he said that, Chongxiao regretted it.

I usually tell too many jokes to Xingxiong, Texas, and Xiaojiu, and I couldn't help but say this.

As expected, Chen Huijie's face froze, and those eyes full of energy and spirit instantly glared at him...

"Teacher, sexual harassment in the workplace will be punished to the maximum extent by the Guard Bureau."

silence.

At this moment, the communicator in the police car suddenly rang.

"A hostage situation has occurred at the S-2C traffic station. All nearby police forces are requested to provide support. Repeat! S-2C traffic station..."

Chongxiao and Chen Huijie, who were looking at each other, saw that the expressions on each other's faces became serious at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then they both returned to the car.

No one knew which master Xiao Longnu learned to drive from in the Royal Guards Academy, or whether she had some unknown talent in this area. The police car with sirens blaring was speeding on the street very quickly, like an 86 going down a mountain.

Just a few minutes later, accompanied by the screeching sound of brakes, the two had arrived at the bus lane outside the traffic station.

Many police officers have already arrived here. Chongxiao even saw two special tactical teams, and the one who was talking to them was Ajiu from the Special Inspection Team.

"According to the sniper's observation and the response of the civilians who escaped, there are at least 20 hostages inside. There are five robbers in total, including a warlock... a very dangerous warlock."

“What are they asking for?”

"We haven't communicated yet, and my team just arrived."

Ajiu nodded solemnly, and then was about to walk around the armed explosion-proof vehicle to observe the traffic station hall, but he saw Chongxiao and Chen Huijie walking towards him together.

"Why are you two..."

"I happened to be patrolling here, so I rushed over to support you."

Chongxiao glanced in the direction of the transportation station lobby.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the main entrance are the best observation points, through which you can directly see the hostages sitting together in the middle of the hall, as well as the robbers next to them... The strange thing is that they don't seem to be afraid of being noticed by snipers, and they have no intention of hiding in a favorable position. Instead, they just stand there openly.

Either he is simply stupid, or he has something to rely on.

"What did you say?"

The special forces captain's sudden loss of voice attracted everyone's attention, and the news he said next made everyone feel cold.

There were more than one sensor bombs... They were distributed behind the counters around the hostages, and it was impossible to determine their number.

It turns out that these robbers are not just brutal criminals, but outright desperadoes.

But there is good news: the headquarters has analyzed the criminals' Originium skills, body shape and facial features, and linked them to the actions of the Special Inspection Team more than a month ago.

"Rem Billiton's wanted criminal?"

"Yes, his name is Ned Collis. The Sidney City Police sent a messenger to deliver a wanted order nine months ago. He and his team have committed at least thirty murders, as well as bombing mining sites, stealing gold mines, and attacking merchant convoys. More than a month ago, Commander Jiaju led a team to destroy an arms smuggling den and accidentally discovered their hiding place..."

"The results of it?"

"Two criminals were arrested, one police officer was killed and four police officers were injured."

Hearing this, not to mention Ajiu and Chen Huijie, even Chongxiao couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Very good, you want to force the Imperial Guard to release those two people... Humph! Don't let any of them escape..."

Chapter 145 A Hero Descends from the Sky

The wanted criminals from RemBitol took more than 20 hostages at the Longmen Traffic Station, demanding that the Guards release their accomplices and provide vehicles and sufficient supplies to leave.

This explosive news spread throughout the city in just half an hour. Countless people put down what they were doing and picked up their phones to watch the live broadcast from the media and onlookers.

This is the first time that a major vicious incident has occurred in Longmen in public since the Guards Bureau swept through the underworld and rose to power.

Therefore, not long after Chongxiao and Chen Huijie arrived at the scene, Texas also came here with Kanelian and Red.

"Jiaju is a little emotional...I don't think it's appropriate to let him get involved."

"You did the right thing, Texas, what about Starbear?"

"She and Haoyun left for a nearby town at noon to escort a serious criminal. They won't be back until the late night at the earliest."

In other words, the elite members of the special inspection team who remained in Longmen have basically been deployed in full force.

They now have only one goal, which is to kill Ned Collis and all his accomplices while ensuring the safety of all hostages.

For the current special inspection team, even if Ned is an outstanding warlock, five robbers will not be taken seriously, but the Originium bomb is a very tricky problem.

The key is not its destructive power, but its horrific polluting nature.

The instantly exploding Originium powder cannot be stopped at all with the help of the shock wave. Anyone who is not equipped with special protective equipment has a 100% chance of being infected with oripathy, so there is no need to have any luck.

If multiple Originium bombs were detonated at the same time, even the Imperial Guard officers outside the traffic station would be extremely susceptible to infection, not to mention the more than 20 hostages inside.

"Pause, I need to add a detail...very bad news."

Ah Jiu smiled bitterly and continued, "Those are only the hostages we can see. Chongxiao... you should have sensed it, right?"

"Well, there are still some people hiding in the surrounding shops. They don't dare to run out."

Because the incident happened suddenly and Ned and other robbers acted extremely efficiently and quickly, some people who were hoping for a lucky break or were too frightened chose to hide. As a result, they now have no chance to escape.

The shops on both sides of the transportation station hall did not have back doors or ventilation holes. The only way in and out was through the hall... No one would believe that a ruthless bandit like Ned would be so kind as to let them escape.

"…So is there any good news?"

Kanelian asked curiously.

"Yes, but... Sir Texas, you should know what I mean, right?"

"Are you talking about the new detection sensor that the development department is testing?"

The Development Department of the Guard Bureau was established after Chongxiao went to Yumen. Its responsibility is to improve existing weapons and equipment, and also to research and test some new technologies.

The detection sensor mentioned by Texas is the Originium radar that the development department has been experimenting with over the past few months. It relies on finely modulated micro-vibration synchronized sound waves to locate Originium structures in an energy-excited state.

If you take this thing out into the wild, it will probably react 24 hours a day, but it is very useful for detecting Originium bombs inside the city.

But the problem is that this technology has not yet been completed and there is no way to completely guarantee that the location of every Originium bomb can be scanned.

"Something is better than nothing... Kanelian, notify the development department and ask them to send the stuff over as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir."

At this moment, everyone in the special inspection team heard the sound of the police officers who were on high alert in front of them pulling the crossbow bowstring and bolt.

Ned Corliss came out, and what made everyone gasp was: This guy was actually holding an Originium bomb! ?

"The person in charge, come out!"

Judging from people's stereotypes about Carters, Ned is clearly the non-mainstream among the non-mainstream.

This guy has a height that most Carters can't reach, and his body is also quite strong. If it weren't for the ears drooping on both sides of his head, his face full of fat would really not look like that of a Carters.

Notably, one of his ears is broken.

Texas' expression froze. He took the Yama Blade from his waist and was about to go out to confront Ned.

But Chongxiao directly pressed her shoulders, and walked around the armed explosion-proof vehicle and came in front of the robber leader.

"Hmm? You want to be a hero again at a time like this?"

"No, Chongxiao... he seems to have a high immunity to oripathy, so..."

Kanelian's original intention was just to make a joke. After all, Chongxiao was the real core of the special inspection team, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that. However, he did not expect to hear such great news from Texas.

And it wasn't just her. Chen Huijie, who also didn't know about this, was also a little shocked.

As for Chongxiao, even if he had a hundred ways to kill the bandit in front of him, he could only hold back for the time being.

But in his heart, Ned was already a dead man.

"...Inspector Chongxiao, I have heard of your name and know your...glorious history."

"Then you should also know that you can't escape."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Ned raised the Originium bomb in his hand, both as a demonstration and a threat, "I have been a wretch since I graduated from high school, and I have killed enough people, but I will never let my brothers down."

He did not notice that a barely perceptible light shone in Chongxiao's eyes, which was proof that his spiritual power was working.

However, this time, Chongxiao was unable to read any of Ned's thoughts.

For people with strong wills and pure thoughts, psychic mind reading will not have any effect... This is not because there are limitations in itself, but because Chongxiao's psychic power has inherent defects.

"I believe the Longmen Guard Bureau has received my request... If you don't see what I need before the sun sets, you will start executing the hostages, one every ten minutes. Also, I consider myself a relatively professional warlock, so no matter what action you plan to take, I have the ability to detonate all the bombs in an instant."

"Don't worry, they're not that powerful, and they may not even be able to take away those guys in the hall. But I think... none of you are willing to take on such a responsibility."

Ned had obviously figured out the police's bottom line.

In this land, the death of hostages due to failed operations is acceptable, after all, there are such things as mercenaries. However, if the police's actions lead to large-scale infection of mineral disease among innocent civilians, that would not end well.

By then, the police will be criticized in terms of public opinion, prestige, image, morality, and legal responsibility, and it may even evolve into a political-level scandal.

Using mineralogy as a means of threat is probably the most unscrupulous behavior in this world.

Watching Ned turning and leaving, Chongxiao began to think of a plan in his mind.

It is necessary to pretend to be submissive, otherwise, given this guy's ruthlessness, executing the hostages would definitely not be a casual talk.

Cooperating with snipers to launch a surprise attack on all the robbers is not very safe. Judging from the information sent by Rem Billiton Sidney, Ned's Originium skills are quite high, and it should not be difficult to make a trigger-type detonation mechanism.
