Chapter 132: Chapter 131: "Miao is still awesome...
Zhou Shen, having been under tremendous tension for too long, finally completely relaxed at this moment. After that string snapped, he broke down emotionally and began to weep uncontrollably, his sobs and cries raining down on the man with six fingers in front of him, whose body was now a bloody, unrecognizable mess.
Even though the man with six fingers had long since died.
But Zhou Shen didn't stop, crying and swinging his fists like a madman, like a relentless meat grinder.
Nobody knew how much psychological pressure he had endured tonight, nor did anyone know the size of the gamble he had placed.
This was the biggest all-in of his life.
If he lost, the glory of his earlier life would disappear without a trace.
Climbing from obscurity to his current position, no one knew how hard he had worked, nor did anyone understand the journey his heart had taken.
...
At this time, the subway tunnel, having ceased operation for the night, was next to a dingy hole crowded with many people, all with complex expressions, looking towards Zhou Shen who was on the verge of emotional breakdown.
There were people like Hungry Monkey Yuan Buping, people from the Chi family including Chi Qiu, people from the Enforcement Bureau, and those from all walks of life in the Lower Nine Streams.
Car thieves, window climbers, drug dealers, and the like.
Several hundred people with complex expressions looked at the six-fingered man, now beyond recognition from the beating, in silence, with no one speaking.
Chapter Stay:
Under other circumstances, there would surely be someone bold enough to capture this scene with a watch, given that the Deputy Director of the Events Bureau was a person of significant influence in all of Fengtian City, and he was now committing murder in public.
If this were to leak out, he wouldn't be able to hold onto his position.
It would certainly make good material for blackmail.
But at this moment, not a single person made such a move, not out of fear, but because they were aware that too much had happened tonight, and this incident was only a minor part of Zhou Shen's actions this evening.
Tonight, Zhou Shen had completely lost his mind.
And it seemed as if those in power in Fengtian City had gone mad with him, all as silent as if they were asleep, with not one stepping forward to intervene.
Blackmail?
As soon as day breaks, Zhou Shen's many actions will be impossible to hide. Come dawn, his execution day will arrive, and at this moment, many look upon Zhou Shen's silhouette as they would a dead man.
Fengtian City could not let Zhou Shen live past tomorrow.
This would be a huge blow to the government's reputation of Fengtian City.
What left them puzzled was... just what had this six-fingered man done to warrant the "Tomb Guardian" faction going to any lengths, even at the cost of an Event Bureau Director's death, to kill him?
Was he worth it?
They really could not see what was so special about this man that warranted the death of a Deputy Director of the Event Bureau for his sake.
Even more shocking to them was the fact that this inconspicuous "Tomb Guardian" faction could drive a Deputy Director of the Event Bureau to serve it so loyally, risking his life. It was an unbelievable affair, as usually, every significant power had its backers.
This was normal.
But there had never been a force that could make its people serve it with such dedication, truly risking their lives...
...
"It's too chaotic."
In the crowd of the subway tunnel, Zhang Qiu looked dazedly at Zhou Shen's frenzied silhouette, experiencing for the first time the strength of the "Tomb Guardian," and realizing for the first time just how dark the sky of Fengtian City could be.
He opened three psychological clinics, all of which are located in the North City District.
Yes.
He admitted that before opening the clinics, he indeed engaged in some shady dealings that couldn't see the light of day, but that was all in the past. He had reformed himself and had been a changed man since getting out.
But who would have expected that tonight, while he was still sleeping, a group of burly men with fierce faces smashed through his door, mercilessly dragged him out, and before he even had a chance to resist, a hoarse male voice rang in his ear.
"Resist, die."
Upon looking closely, it turned out to be the Deputy Director of the Events Bureau, a seasoned fighter with his hands around his neck. As a gunman, he naturally had no temper to speak of and silently nodded, indicating that although he didn't know what the situation was, he was willing to cooperate.
Later...
Later, it was discovered that tonight, the "Tomb Guardian" didn't just torture all sorts of people from every corner of society in the North City District of Fengtian City; they also rounded up and interrogated those with prior records.
For a former criminal like him who now possessed substantial supernatural abilities, it was the Events Bureau's own staff who personally took action to arrest him. He was lucky to have caught the favor of Zhou Shen.
He had fortunately contacted Chen Miao just in time to avoid punishment; otherwise, he would certainly have suffered from some flesh and blood torment tonight.
Who could have imagined that at that auction, by merely having a lengthy chat when he was in a good mood, he would genuinely meet an awesome guy who helped him avoid suffering tonight.
After that, he truly witnessed how crazy the "Tomb Guardian" had gone tonight.
Everyone acted as if they had nothing to lose.
Their purpose was simple and clear.
It was to find one person, a six-fingered man. To create such an uproar, not for territory or to take down rivals, but just to find one person—this was simply beyond comprehension.
If Fengtian City's crackdown on crime had this kind of intensity, the entire city would be spotless by now.
"Miao is still awesome..."
Zhang Liu's expression was vacant for a moment, and he was somewhat at a loss for words. If it weren't for his capture today, he would have nearly forgotten that he used to be a Thief. He had always thought that after doing so many good deeds, he should be considered a good person.
But it turned out that in the files of the Enforcement Bureau, he was still a potential criminal suspect.
Isn't it said that one can become a Buddha the moment they drop the cleaver?
Others might not be clear, but he knew well that the leader of the "Tomb Guardian," Chen Miao, was still involved in an event, trapped in the fixed event of the Hell Bus ranking at an extreme difficulty of 128.
...
The problem was resolved.
But there were still many people looking at Zhou Shen and others without speaking. Although these people did not speak, the information on their faces was extremely explicit. The reason Zhou Shen was able to find the six-fingered man so quickly...
Was because many people had informed on him.
There were even a few men who found the six-fingered man's exact location ahead of time and captured him, waiting for Zhou Shen and the others to arrive.
According to the reward issued by the "Tomb Guardian," these people were to be given real gold and silver.
Although only a portion could claim it, there was still a large number of people standing there in silence, watching, and others also wanted to see whether the "Tomb Guardian" would actually pay up. It all added up to more than ten million. Not to mention whether the "Tomb Guardian" was willing to give it,
Whether he could afford to give it was another matter.
At this time, Zhou Shen's emotions also gradually calmed down. He turned to look at the hooligans he used to disdain, and seeing the look in their eyes, he instantly knew what was on their minds.
His expression slowly darkened.
