"I really can't believe you two. How can you still be sleeping at a time like this? When did you arrive? Not even a phone call? Do you want to get beaten up or something? And now you're involved in this mess. If you don't hide well, you won't have such luck next time." Liu Lianyue said without holding back, adjusting her hat as she stood casually with one hand on her hip, showcasing her alluring figure.
It was hard for anyone to connect her current appearance with the school, especially with the police right beside them. Her sensitive identity had not yet faded away, and it seemed that the Leader had been up to something behind the scenes during this time.
At that moment, Fia, Liu Lianyue, and the later-arriving Charming Shadow attracted the attention of most nearby males, while Dream Butterfly remained somewhat low-key due to her good disguise.
"It's complicated. I just got here and was immediately drafted as a babysitter. Besides, I can catch up on recent events through the news, you know," Yang Xiaoyou said, rolling her eyes at Liu Lianyue's outburst with a sense of resignation.
Recently, the Radicals had indeed been gaining more notoriety. After hearing Yang Xiaoyou's words, Liu Lianyue fell silent, occasionally glancing at Dream Butterfly, who seemed to have just woken up.
After yawning innocently, Dream Butterfly felt uncomfortable surrounded by so many unfamiliar faces. She instinctively grabbed Yang Xiaoyou's collar and shrank closer to her, as if trying to hide herself, though her face showed no expression.
Seeing that Dream Butterfly was still somewhat shy, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but wonder what kind of magic Chen Wuyou would use to help her succeed at the concert at the end of the month.
On the surface, this calm fellow appeared completely unfazed, but only those who truly knew her could sense the unnaturalness behind that tranquility.
After Liu Lianyue asked the first question, she inadvertently alleviated some trouble for the Silver-Haired Princess since the police had already arrived.
From their equipment, it seemed they were directly affiliated with the Public Security System's Emergency Special Police Unit. Their response time was much quicker than expected; Zhao Chen must have put in considerable effort behind the scenes.
In this situation, after Liu Lianyue asked her question, the police stepped forward to conduct routine inquiries.
Although most of the deceased were criminals, given that this incident occurred in a villa area, the police took it very seriously.
Moreover, the Special Police Unit was originally established for various emergency situations. By the time they arrived, the conflict had already ended; they could only proceed with body recovery and cleanup work, which left them feeling embarrassed.
Regarding the pressure and obstacles they sensed in secret, they felt frustrated yet powerless. They had always followed 'reasonable' procedures; if no one had intervened from behind, they might have just begun their operation.
They started questioning affected tourists while also splitting up to search and investigate the scene.
"Captain, you should come take a look," said one officer to his superior. The SWAT team leader stood beside the District Police Chief and frowned as he walked over after hearing his subordinate's voice.
At that moment, the area, which had been transplanted but had already adapted to form a thicket resembling a natural bush, was marked with yellow caution tape everywhere.
Stepping into the thicket, he lifted a yellow line and squeezed into a section, where he saw two corpses laid out before him. The captain couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"These are all one-hit kills; the attacker is very powerful," he remarked after putting on gloves to examine the bodies.
"Uh, it's not just that. According to our reconstruction, the half blade that killed this criminal belongs to that person over there, who is dressed differently. Initially, we thought he was the one who made the kill, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, he also ended up dead. However, we discovered that he died from his own half blade," a Forensic Officer stammered after swallowing hard.
He had seen many corpses, but the bizarre and terrifying manner of death before him was unsettling.
Upon hearing this, the Captain's expression changed dramatically. The emergence of such a situation undoubtedly complicated matters significantly. It seemed there was a third-party force involved, and the murderer who effortlessly broke the dagger blade and killed two people must possess terrifying strength.
Soon after, several technical personnel arrived at the scene to call for the responsible Captain to investigate various locations:
A broken tree trunk.
An almost cleared bloodstained area.
Shattered body parts with smooth cutting marks.
The continuous occurrences clearly indicated the opponent's horror and strength!
Most crucially, information revealed by the corpses suggested that those killed criminals possessed excellent physical qualities—at least far beyond ordinary people!
Yet this group of exceptionally powerful terrorists had been taken down as easily as chopping vegetables—overwhelmed and unable to mount any effective defense.
The Captain had some understanding of those rumored strong individuals who possessed their own advantages. It was likely that everyone involved in killing the criminals had reached such a level of prowess!
Otherwise, this scene would not have unfolded as it did!
Having such fellows in the City was indeed a headache for them, while on the other side, the identity of the Ambusher gradually came to light.
Although they all had some unique traits, they had obtained their permits through 'normal' channels. If they were the ones causing trouble, there would be no doubt that they would not be spared. However, if someone was assassinating them domestically, it would be fortunate if they could counterattack; self-defense actions were within permissible limits.
If evidence could be found linking those who killed these criminals to them, they could even be expelled from the country. Unfortunately, there was no evidence of such aspects.
This issue not only involved Hive Security, which had been closely related to several cooperative projects recently, but also entangled HLI Company, which operated smoothly across various countries. If both sides applied pressure simultaneously, the higher-ups might not care, but those of them handling the matter would certainly have headaches. After all, both sides were operating within a 'reasonable' range, and dealing with the unique domestic environment required caution.
After describing the general situation with a mix of truth and embellishment, Yang Xiaoyou and Dream Butterfly found themselves in a relatively safe position. After all, their identities here were that of tourists caught up in the chaos. Perhaps due to the previous sale of information, some officials recognized Yang Xiaoyou as a member of Hive Security Company; however, it was clear that such news would not reach these police officers.
As for Yang Xiaoyou's role as a Rolo, the higher-ups would not pay much attention to him, and he was hardly affected in his daily life.
Regarding Hive Security Company's aspects, they still needed to consult Charming Shadow.
Soon after, a new person replaced the Special Police Team Leader and called Liu Lianyue, Fia, and Charming Shadow for discussions, seemingly aiming to reach some sort of agreement.
Most of Yang Xiaoyou's travel group had already been cleared without issues; however, that security captain who seemed to have served in the military was still being interrogated.
"What bad luck! Poor Ren Pengfei is scared out of his wits and ended up running inside. How are we going to explain this? It's going to get messy," complained the thirty-something director with a look of misfortune on his face.
When the fully armed Special Police Unit arrived, everyone gradually found a sense of security as they looked at the capable-looking special police officers in their uniforms.
Just as fear began to dissipate, the initiator among the Eight People team started to worry about subsequent issues.
Not only him; the Tour Guide Sister also began to fret over what came next and had no time to assist Dream Butterfly regarding Yang Xiaoyou.
With Fia and her group being called away, Yang Xiaoyou felt much more relaxed. Thanks to Dream Butterfly's help in making some adjustments, as long as he remained cautious in daily life, this backlash from negative energy should not cause any further issues. This thought lightened his mood considerably.
He directly went aside to start eating watermelon and brought Dream Butterfly along to join him. Falling asleep in such an environment and now eating watermelon without worries made other travelers nearby feel quite strange.
The thick, bloody smell wafting from the bushes made them feel nauseous at the sight of the watermelon’s red flesh. It was hard to understand why those two were so unfazed.
Just as Yang Xiaoyou was happily munching on a piece, a delicate hand suddenly snatched it away. Looking up, he saw Fia glaring at him with an expression reminiscent of a lion, while she took a bite of the watermelon.
Uh, it seemed like she was a bit upset that he had left her alone at home.
"Finished talking?" Yang Xiaoyou asked, glancing at the fellow in front of him who was giving him a headache. Well, after all, she was the daughter of his parents' friend. If he set aside that somewhat delicate relationship, leaving her alone did seem a bit inconsiderate.
However, he quickly shook his head. Compared to this girl who wanted to be 'sisters' with him, his methods were much gentler.
"What else is there to discuss? Just figuring out what excuse to use. Anyway, most of the ambushers are already dead. It’s probably just a matter of pinning it on smuggling or drugs and releasing some news to cover it up and obscure the death toll," Fia said dismissively after rolling her eyes at Yang Xiaoyou.
Then she turned her attention to Dream Butterfly, who had some seeds stuck to her face, looking rather amusing. "I think I've seen this person before. She's a singer from around here, right?"
To be honest, in terms of observation skills, Yang Xiaoyou realized that only Liang Wuxuan could compare with this princess. Even with her wide sun hat and sunglasses obscuring half her face, Fia had recognized her, leaving Yang Xiaoyou unsure of how to introduce this fellow.
Could it be that this is my pet? Recently, I’ve been taking care of her Clouds.
