Not long after dinner, Huai Shi returned to the inquiry room of the Special Affairs Department.

It felt warm, like coming home.

Although he was wrapped in bandages all over his body and had purple medicine on his face, he couldn't be described as looking good.

Then, he saw the Special Affairs Department head again, who he had met before. He remembered... was his surname Fu? Is this surname common?

Or is it just his imagination?

Why would anyone want to be named that? This uncle has never enjoyed being in charge...

Feeling Huai Shi's sympathetic gaze, Director Fu knew exactly what this kid was thinking. He thought about how his happy family dinner had been ruined by this news, and he couldn't help but get angry and rebuke him:

"Huai Shi, what do you want to do? Don't you have school tomorrow! Do you want to end up in jail at such a young age?"

God, school is starting!

Why are you talking like the headmaster of the Discipline Department!

Huai Shi suddenly felt the pressure of school for no reason in this place, and his heart became complicated. "Someone is willing to pay for my life, I'm desperate too!"

"You're already in trouble twice in less than half a month, and both times you were caught by the Special Affairs Department. You really are something."

Director Fu suppressed his anger, sat across from him, and opened the report handed to him by his subordinate. He pointed to the title and scolded angrily, "Another malicious injury incident? Seven people were seriously injured, five of them are still in the ICU. Do you think you're too big for your britches?"

"Don't always think that I'm up to no good, okay?"

Huai Shi sighed and pointed to the wounds on his shoulder and arm. The closest wound to his artery was only one centimeter away. "This was self-defense..."

"Enough with your excuses."

Director Fu picked up the remote control and pressed a button towards the huge TV in the corner. The screen lit up, revealing the brutal situation in the alley.

In the surveillance video, the crowd collided with the teenager.

Then, it was like waves crashing against a reef.

Someone flew out and screamed silently in the video.

Then, it was a devastating rampage, from the first to the last, like charging into a kindergarten with weapons.

Everything was silent.

Bones broke without sound, falling to the ground without a scream, and blood flowed from the mouth and nose without a hum.

It was like not feeling any pain.

The iron hammer struck him, but he didn't step back. The blade cut into his back without hesitation. He was so ferocious and seemed to not care about anything, almost as if he wanted to die with everyone visible.

It all took less than three minutes.

The teenager had no expression from beginning to end.

Only after no one in the alley moved did he turn around, take back his suit, and sit tiredly on a fire hydrant, waiting for the distant sound of sirens.

Blood flowed from his pant legs and accumulated into a shallow pool on the ground.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

Reflecting his calm eyes.

It was creepy.

The video abruptly stopped.

Then, Director Fu's angry voice sounded as he pounded the table, "Huai Shi, didn't you say you don't know martial arts?"

"I was born a god... I can't help it if I'm self-taught!" Huai Shi shrunk his neck backward. "Do I have to let them kill me on the spot to be considered normal?"

"This is a case of malicious fighting, and there was a Sublimator involved, which makes it even worse."Director Fu stared at Huai Shi's eyes. "You know that the Special Affairs Department is specifically in charge of these kinds of incidents, right? Last year, I sent a kid like you to the border. Guess how he's doing now?"

Huai Shi tentatively asked, "Did he become a Buddha or an ancestor?"

"The grass on his grave is as tall as you!" Director Fu turned and left, hesitating for a moment when he pushed open the door. He looked back at him and said, "I've read the testimony of those people. I know you acted in self-defense, and that's not wrong. But at that time, did you really have no other choice, Huai Shi?"

"Huh?" Huai Shi was confused.

"You're a Sublimator. From the moment you sublimated, you were no longer the same as an ordinary person. In many cases, you often have more choices and full strength because you have power."

Director Fu looked into his eyes. "But does power always have to be demonstrated on the weak to make you feel valuable?"

"..."

Huai Shi didn't know what to say. Director Fu turned to leave but heard a voice behind him. "Wait a minute!"

He slowly turned around, his expression cold. "Do you have something else to say?"

"..."

Huai Shi hesitated for a long time, then raised his hand weakly and asked, "I'm a little hungry. Do you provide food here?"

Bang!

The door was slammed shut.

...

When Ai Qing arrived, Director Fu had smoked half a pack of cigarettes in his office, and an evil fire was still burning inside him.

He wanted to hit someone.

He wanted to beat up a minor.

Damn the law protecting minors...

"Where's Huai Shi?" Ai Qing asked.

Director Fu raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the interrogation room. "He's still inside eating our boxed lunches. It's already the sixth one. Hurry up and take your Astronomy Club's pig demon back."

"It's normal for someone in their developmental stage," Ai Qing said calmly.

On the way there, she had already learned about the cause and effect, and Director Fu wouldn't put his accusatory attitude towards Huai Shi in front of a serious inspector.

In Dongxia, the relationship between inspectors and the Special Affairs Department was often awkward, ultimately due to the positions of both sides.

It was well known that even ordinary Sublimators who had not yet implanted Holy Marks possessed abilities and physical fitness that were difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Therefore, in order to maximize the response to the threat from the border and prevent the power that could have been used to defend the realm and border from being abused in war, all Sublimators were exempt from military service.

In other words, except for the Astronomy Club approved by the Five Constants Resolution within the jurisdiction, no organization or force can forcibly conscript Sublimators for combat at any time, nor can they illegally detain or conduct inhumane experiments on Sublimators.

This law, engraved on the Twelve Copper Tablets, to some extent protected the personal safety and freedom of Sublimators.

However, at the same time, in order to prevent Sublimators from using their power recklessly, all criminal incidents against Sublimators were punishable by more severe penalties, and all places of imprisonment were uniformly planned for the border.

The existence of the Special Affairs Department was established as a violent organization to prevent Sublimators from persecuting ordinary people. Most of its members were undoubtedly elite trained soldiers who fought in groups, using long guns, short guns, battle axes, and missiles to teach people how to behave.

In the realm with the Three Great Blockades, besides a few crowned individuals, the military was the biggest source of violence.Let's not talk about the little boy Ivan or the missile bomber. Just the firepower coverage and the coordination between infantry and tanks of an artillery battalion is enough to deal with those monsters.

Don't ever try to confront the military head-on.

Whoever does so will die.

Even Sublimators are no exception.

It is the duty of the inspector to verify the fact of Sublimator's crime and issue a black letter.

Inspectors usually won't have any trouble with Special Affairs Department as long as they can maintain the balance between ordinary people and Sublimators. In most cases, it's just a matter of informing the inspector to keep a record when Special Affairs Department needs to do something.

Apart from border development, what they should really worry about is the infighting among Sublimator groups for their own interests. In the worst case, they should at least avoid involving ordinary people who live a peaceful life.

Whoever causes trouble will be killed.

The realm is so small that it can't even accommodate a few archenemies, let alone so many people who are causing trouble.

Fortunately, Xin Hai is really small, with only a few Sublimators, which is not influential at all. Everyone lives a peaceful life. Some are prostitutes, some are second-hand dealers, and some run detective agencies and do nothing all day long... It's quite easy-going.

After clearing out those who secretly caused trouble, there was no reason for Ai Qing and Special Affairs Department to have any conflict.

It's not a big deal to have a violent brawl.

After a brief exchange of information, they went straight to the point.

"Who attacked him?"

"A group of scumbags who can't show their faces..."

Director Fu got angry when he mentioned this and put the files on the table one by one: "Illegal gang members, human traffickers, fugitives, and social idlers... What the hell are they?"

He couldn't help lighting up a cigarette and took a few puffs before extinguishing it and taking out a phone from a bag, asking, "Have you heard of the 'Collection of Ten Thousand Evils'?"

"That dark web app?"

Ai Qing frowned when she saw the skull icon on the phone screen.

In fact, although this app is a software, its essence is more complicated and has reached the level of a virus. Even in the Astronomical Society, there are targeted files.

Unfortunately, the existence of the Free Border and the Dark Web can never be eradicated.

In short, it can be said to be an intermediary platform in the dark world.

It provides all kinds of transactions that satisfy the dark side of human nature, including murder, kidnapping, abduction, human organ trafficking, slavery, and even deeper things like Sublimators' Holy Marks, Border relics, Source material crystals, and sacrifices... Everything is included.

And now, someone has posted a bounty for Huai Shi on it...

But who would have nothing better to do than to fight with a salted fish?
