Chapter 131: Chapter 130: "Who the hell am I? And who the hell are you?
```
There wouldn't be any other use for it, after all, you couldn't expect an infant with power level of just over ten to enter a mystic realm and then go on a killing spree or something.
That's also not realistic.
...
Fengtian City.
It was already four in the morning, and dawn was about to break.
Zhou Shen, Yuan Buping, and others, who hadn't slept for a long time, were now each sporting two dark circles under their eyes, continuously downing Red Bull and coffee as they hurried through Fengtian City.
With the help of the Enforcement Bureau's information network.
Yuan Buping and his team swiftly captured and executed the individuals on the task list given to them by Miao, becoming more and more proficient in the process, to the point where everyone had a clear role.
But the most troublesome were those about whom the Enforcement Bureau's information network had no details.
That is, the so-called unregistered residents.
Moreover, unregistered residents who had left no trace at all, in a city teeming with tens of millions of people, to search for an unregistered resident without any concrete information, the difficulty was self-evident.
"Mission target: A deranged killer hiding in the North City District of Fengtian City, characteristics—six fingers, long hair, habit of smoking through a squeezed sponge, and a fierce face."
Hungry Monkey's face darkens slightly as he looks at the printed mission target in his hand.
The other tasks had been completed quickly, but this one had already taken over half an hour with no clue in sight, with no information other than these details, and no one from the Enforcement Bureau had any either.
There was simply no way to find this person.
Standing beside him, Zhou Shen had his eyes tightly closed, his body trembling slightly, and he even seemed to have weak legs. At this point, he had run out of options; he was pushed to the brink of a cliff.
The information from Miao was very clear.
He must find this person within 2 hours at the latest, or else he'll end up dead in a fixed event.
Miao's tone was relaxed, as if he viewed his own death indifferently.
But Zhou Shen couldn't relax. If Miao died because of this, given the absurd things he had done, he would be the first to go down with him.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"
Zhou Shen, unable to control his emotions, crumpled the A4 paper in his hand into a ball and slammed it onto the ground, shouting, "Are the people at the Enforcement Bureau in North City District a bunch of useless eaters?"
"A deranged killer who has murdered so many people, and they don't have a scrap of information?"
"Not even a single record?"
"Huh?"
He had never found it so difficult to kill someone, especially when his own life was tied to the life of that person.
"Daddy..."
Just then, a timid voice rang by his ear, and he saw a girl holding a doll, standing a short distance away, looking scared by his current demeanor.
It was his daughter.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Zhou Shen took a deep breath and beckoned his daughter over, suppressing his emotions before smiling and saying, "I've just run into a bit of trouble at work, and I'm dealing with it; it'll be sorted out soon."
"Don't worry, daddy is very capable, it's nothing major. "
"You can take a nap over there, I've taken a leave for you, you don't have to go to school tomorrow."
"Okay..."
The little girl in a princess dress timidly lowers her head and responds, then glances at Hungry Monkey, Yuan Buping, and others, each wearing a strong air of menace, and quickly lowers her head again.
...
"There's no need to be so furious."
Hungry Monkey scanned Zhou Shen, and after a moment of silence, cooled down as much as possible. Recalling the lessons Miao used to teach him, he paused for a moment before speaking, "I used to be one of the Lower Nine Streams; although unregistered residents are among the lowest in society, even they have their own circles. The places they can live include—"
"Abandoned construction sites, under bridges, in unused tunnels of subway stations, idle urban sewers, and so on."
"Unregistered residents are human too; they can't live in a place without any modern facilities, they wouldn't survive."
"I know quite a few of these people, and I'll have them look."
"Okay."
Zhou Shen gradually calmed down, and after clenching his teeth in thought for a moment, he turned to one of his experienced subordinates, "Round up all the hooligans in North City District, put them under torture and interrogate them. Within 2 hours, I must know the whereabouts of this deranged killer."
"Huh?"
This trusted confidant, who had been with Zhou Shen since his time at the Western Third Law Enforcement Bureau, stood there in disbelief, momentarily thinking the chief had lost his mind. Putting aside whether such a task could be accomplished in 2 hours.
These hooligans were involved in gangs, previously captured and released, or overlooked for various reasons, and most of them had their own backers.
Starting trouble this way would offend a lot of people, easily counted in the thousands.
Leaving aside whether the hooligans would seek revenge later, just the people behind those hooligans would be enough trouble for Zhou Shen.
They didn't even have enough manpower.
Just then—
"Need people?"
A loud shout came from the end of the street, and a dozen vans with flashing headlights swiftly pulled up in front of them. Chi Qiu, dressed in black, leapt down from a vehicle, scurried over to Hungry Monkey, looked left and right not seeing Miao, and then sheepishly said.
"That, we've met before, you guys are making quite a ruckus tonight, even more than the last gang crackdown."
"I figured you were short on people, so I brought some over, use them as you wish. That... has Miao read my apology letter? The conflict last time was an accident; I've been looking for a chance to clear things up."
"That apology letter is absolutely unique, written purely with my heartfelt feelings, and not a single word is copied from the internet."
"He has..."
```
Hungry Monkey looked at the man before him with a peculiar expression. Miao didn't look, but he did. He had never seen such a stupid apology letter, but there was no time to care about that right now, "I really do need people, thanks. Have the ones behind you come over."
Chi Qiu had brought over forty men, all of them supernatural beings, with power levels uniformly around 15, which was not low.
In Fengtian City, they were considered top-notch enforcers.
Dealing with some gangsters was like child's play to them.
...
Just like that—
Around four in the morning, in the North City District of Fengtian City, countless people's doors were forcefully broken open, then they were forcibly awakened, doused with a basin of cold water, followed by the use of forceps to pull out their fingernails, and underwent forced interrogation.
Trespassing into homes, inflicting involuntary damage, misconduct by officials, deliberate homicide, and numerous other crimes,
The good news, Zhou Shen didn't need to worry about how many years he'd spend in confinement anymore.
The bad news, he could be executed by a firing squad.
A bounty then spread throughout the circles of the Lower Nine Streams in North City District of Fengtian City.
"Whoever finds a six-fingered, long-haired man who likes to pinch off sponges to smoke, reward 5 million credit points."
"For any related information, reward 1 million credit points."
"If anyone is aware and does not report, once discovered afterwards, they will be executed immediately."
This extremely arrogant bounty was practically a public declaration of war against the entire underworld of North City District in Fengtian City, and the force behind issuing this bounty was called "Tomb Guardian," led by the recently prominent Chen Miao.
Countless people in Fengtian City's North City District began various swift, decisive, and bloody actions tonight.
There were "Tomb Guardian" people, "Chi Family" people, and even a large number of "Enforcement Bureau" personnel.
For a moment—
At a time when the majority of law-abiding citizens were peacefully asleep, countless vehicles raced through the streets of North City District in Fengtian City, and from time to time, screams would pierce the night. The commotion was bigger than any crackdown on the mafia Fengtian City had ever seen.
Completely fearless of anyone's background.
Completely fearless of the law's harsh punishments.
Completely fearless of retaliation from the Fengtian City underworld.
This almost suicidal attack stance scared many people. This was clearly not normal play; it was outright a fight to the death.
For those in the underworld, being sensitive is a trait everyone must have. Without this sensitivity, one would have long been dead and buried. In less than half an hour, everyone had come to understand something very clearly.
That is, the newly emerged force "Tomb Guardian" was searching for a six-fingered man by any means necessary, no matter the cost.
This caused the "Tomb Guardian's" power value to surge rapidly, and their notoriety continued to rise. Perhaps even Chen Miao didn't expect the "Tomb Guardian's" power value to increase in such a way.
...
"Don't call me Deputy Chief anymore, call me Lord Zhou. I see Fengtian City is almost taking on your surname."
Zhou Shen looked at his wristwatch emotionlessly at the countless messages like these. These were from significant figures behind some thugs who were woken up in the middle of the night, expressing their dissatisfaction. If it were before, he might have been panicked.
But now...
For a fugitive like him, tonight Fengtian City had to believe in Zhou.
Tonight, he was Lord Zhou.
No one could contest that, unless your lordship personally comes out with a steel knife to take action. There are rules for tonight, and the higher-ups have given their silent consent. Whoever has the bigger fist tonight has the right to speak.
Finally—
After an hour or so.
They obtained crucial information from someone who was tortured under interrogation, "I've seen a six-fingered, long-haired man who likes to pinch sponges to smoke at a gambling house before. He seemed very familiar with the casino owner, always in a private room."
The description was a perfect match.
"Find him!"
When Zhou Shen received the message, he took a deep breath, unable to suppress his excitement, and roared, "Get all the related personnel of this casino arrested for me!"
"Forget it, don't arrest them, there's not enough time!"
"Go straight to their homes for torture!"
One by one, related pieces of information kept coming in. They had roughly gathered the six-fingered man's daily routine and traces, and finally, with the guidance of the casino owner, they successfully found this six-fingered man in a dog hole at a subway station.
...
"Damn it!"
When Zhou Shen led a large group of people to pry open the locked doors of the subway station and found the six-fingered man in the dog hole inside the subway tracks, whose face was full of fear and who had already been subdued by some riffraff,
He glanced again at the information in the force's chat channel.
Assured that this was the last target and that they hadn't overrun the time limit,
The grown man couldn't help but burst into tears, "Damn it, do you know how hard it was for me to find you? I never worked this hard even when I was courting my wife?"
"Who am I?"
"And who the hell are you?"
"What makes a person like you worthy of binding your fate with mine, do you deserve it?"
"Miao!"
"Little Zhou has met expectations, completing the mission successfully."
While Zhou Shen cried uncontrollably, under the bewildered looks of everyone around, he pounded the subdued six-fingered man to death, "Even if things might be a bit messy when you come out tomorrow, you have to cover for me, old man. You're the one who said to complete the mission no matter the cost."
