"I can only use one Danger-level Apostle to test Xing's current strength."
Xu Pengxuan thought for a moment. Simon was right; being cautious with Xing was never excessive. This time, he would have the Kang brothers, Kang Sheng and Kang De, test him…
A smirk played on his lips. After all, his dogs couldn't just eat and do nothing.
Unbeknownst to them, Shen Weiwei, sandwiched between them, bit her red lips and moaned softly. Suddenly, her dark, beautiful eyes flickered with a shimmering light. Then, she tilted her long, slender neck back and wrapped her arms around Xu Pengxuan's neck, offering a sweet kiss.
Her two delicate hands intertwined, her thumbs lightly pressing against her wrists. Through a transmitter subtly embedded beneath her skin, she transmitted a message wirelessly…
…
Several hours later in the detention cell.
Suddenly, footsteps and a sound came from the doorway. Then, the iron gate creaked open, pushed open by a small, delicate, snow-white hand. I looked over and saw a slender figure walk in, her police uniform fitted, accentuating her curves.
It was Officer Lingxiu!
She glanced at me, then took out her key to the iron gate, biting her red lips, and said, "I don't know what your relationship is with him, but since you have his identification, there must be some urgent mission, right?"
"Him?"
For a moment, my mind was a little confused. This identification belonged to someone else?
But wasn't it Sister Zhiran who gave it to me? And it clearly had my name on it!
Before I could figure it out, Lingxiu suddenly took my hand, her soft hand gripping it tightly, a faint blush flashing across her snow-white face.
"You should leave quickly. If you see him... please give him my regards and tell him that the Ling sisters are very grateful for his past help."
"Who is he?"
My mind was even more confused, and I could only vaguely agree. Perhaps I had mistaken him for someone else, but something felt off. Just then, a sharp pain shot through my mind, stopping me from investigating further.
...
Lingxiu's round, pert buttocks sat on the still-warm bed.
She couldn't help but recall four years ago, when she had just graduated from the National Security Bureau's special agency and was assigned to the police department. Her main responsibility was to monitor whether the police department was colluding with supernatural forces or committing serious corruption and dereliction of duty, though outwardly she remained an ordinary police officer.
And then, when she and her sister Lingxuan were at home, thugs suddenly broke in, and just as they were about to be kidnapped...
Suddenly, a young man appeared, subdued all the bad guys, and rescued the two sisters.
To calm her and her sister down, he had given her an ID card. Aside from slight differences in appearance and even height, they were identical in every other way, except for the rank, which had changed from lieutenant to major.
Later, she learned from the National Security Bureau that the young man who saved her was named "Star," a National Security agent who had solved the shocking kidnapping case!
From then on, she looked up to him, even voluntarily applying for a transfer to the criminal investigation team. Thus, four years later, she had risen from an ordinary undercover National Security Bureau officer to the head of the criminal investigation team.
Thinking about it, her gaze sharpened. She had already discovered that the police chief seemed to be colluding with drug gangs, but she hadn't had any evidence until today…
She was now completely certain that Chief Kang De was probably also an undercover agent.
But—an undercover agent sent by the drug cartel!
He actually managed to rise to such an important position as police chief, which speaks volumes about the problems within the police system. She quietly clenched her pale fist, her well-trained body trembling with excitement.
"Senior Xing, you'll see, I will definitely be like you..."
...
Leaving the police station, I glanced back at the huge national emblem under the night sky. I thought that leaving the base deep in the mountains meant escaping the conflict, but I hadn't expected that in the short time since returning to Shen City, there would be constant turmoil.
But I had to get involved, no matter what, because it had put the person I cared about most in danger...
I silently turned and left, a strange sense of excitement rising within me, like the awakening of a man's instinct to protect his beloved woman, causing an invisible shackle within me to quietly break free.
Just like when I came, I scanned a shared bicycle to go back, but as I rode, the traffic on the street suddenly began to decrease.
You see, this is the tail end of the rush hour; how could the traffic on the street have decreased for no reason?
Based on my previous experience, I immediately became alert.
The traffic on the wide street quickly dwindled to an extremely sparse level, until finally not a single car passed by, leaving it eerily empty.
I took a deep breath, randomly locked my shared bicycle, and the sinister smile of Police Chief Kang De flashed through my mind again. Clearly, he was not only connected to Xu Pengxuan, but might even have been directly involved in the last incident.
Since he's connected to Xu Pengxuan, I have to find a way to deal with him… While thinking, I observed the increasingly quiet street.
Suddenly, my gaze sharpened as I saw someone walking towards me on the street.
This person was wearing a knee-length trench coat and a hood. He seemed to look up at me, then suddenly leaned forward, his feet moving rapidly, quickly closing in on a car. Clearly, this was no ordinary person; it was a superhuman!
Was it one of Xu Pengxuan's men?
The thought flashed through my mind, but I quickly shook my head. The way this person ran reminded me of the ninjas from Shikijima; perhaps they had another origin.
In the blink of an eye, the person was already a short distance in front of me.
Here they come!
I thought to myself, then without hesitation, I pushed off with all my might. With the incredible recoil, I felt as if I were flying, rushing forward like an arrow.
"Whoosh…!"
The wind whistled. Just before contact, I saw that the person was wearing a trench coat reminiscent of an Assassin from Assassin's Creed, a black mask covering their mouth and nose, and their eyes flashing with an eerie, blood-red light.
"Bang!"
The man lunged forward with a claw, a flash of eerie blue light gleaming in the neon lights. Startled, I dodged in disbelief, using my internal force to send him flying several meters. Only then did I see clearly three sharp wrist blades protruding from the back of his hand.
The man somersaulted in the air, landing on his legs and one hand, then charged again like an arrow. Undeterred, I met him head-on, employing a technique from my internal force repertoire: the "Disconnect" technique.
Instantly, a series of "bangs" echoed, the ground seeming to swirl with dust and gravel. During the exchange, I realized my opponent possessed extraordinary physical strength, especially in his legs and arms, which were astonishingly powerful.
Several times, I used my internal energy to strike the most vulnerable parts of his arms—his wrists and elbows—but it felt as if I had struck a block of steel. This immediately made me realize that he was a superhuman.
Moreover, he was likely a superhuman with an enhancement-type ability. This is a simple yet powerful ability that not only enhances physical abilities beyond those of ordinary people but also strengthens the body, giving it a level of enhancement comparable to aluminum, copper, iron, steel, and even diamond.
Of course, depending on the level, the extent and degree of enhancement vary.
