Chapter 61

The street was silent.

Bark, lying motionless on the ground, finally took his last breath.

The commotion from the previous battle had drawn many gazes.

However, the owners of those gazes did not dare to approach casually, only observing from a distance.

At this moment, the sound of police sirens approached from afar.

It seemed that someone had called the police.

Moyou and the others had already returned to the Suibian Law Firm, with no intention of dealing with the body from start to finish.

Inside the firm, in the second-floor office.

Moyou huddled in the corner, silent, trying to minimize his presence as much as possible.

But the gem hunter aunt had no intention of letting him off.

No matter where he huddled, she would always come close, scrutinizing him while making tsking sounds.

A hint of regret showed in Moyou's eyes.

He lowered his head, pretending Biscuit didn't exist, and closed his spirit holes to enter the "Absolute" state, striving to quickly restore his potential energy so he could experiment with his abilities later.

From the side, besides Biscuit's tsking sounds, there were also the voices of Liz and Sambica in conversation.

"The last one didn't survive. Congratulations on temporarily escaping the crisis, Miss Virus Hunter."

Liz's expression was cold, her displeasure evident.

Even though the last Nen user pursuing Sambica was dealt with by Moyou, the trouble Sambica brought would not disappear so easily.

Just the thought of being labeled as an "accomplice" gave Liz a headache.

She was a lawyer, only taking on commissions within the bounds of the law and not involving herself in any form of struggle outside the law.

Sambica's actions tonight seemed to announce to the world that the great lawyer Liz had broken the rules.

"I'm sorry."

Sambica leaned against the sofa, her weak body slightly curled.

This Miss Virus Hunter, who always exuded a gentle and weak aura, seemed to be either on her way to save someone or to apologize.

"You..."

Liz suppressed the urge to scold Sambica and instead asked weakly, "So, what exactly did you do?"

"..."

Sambica remained silent, then took out a small silver box from her clothes.

Liz looked at the box Sambica had taken out.

Under her gaze, Sambica opened the box, revealing three red and white pills inside.

"This is the latest improved version of the G drug..."

"Hmm?"

Liz's eyebrows furrowed, immediately understanding why Sambica was being pursued by Nen users. The word "improved" made her think of a certain possibility.

It seemed that the gangs in Laxiang City were no longer satisfied with the current situation...

Sambica, looking at the thoughtful Liz, explained in a low voice:

"They call this improved G drug G2. I've seen some of the data... G2 enhances the hallucinogenic effects of the original drug, and the side effect that causes dependency... has changed in nature."

"Changed?"

Liz's expression shifted. The most terrifying aspect of the G drug was its ability to make people addicted.

"Yes."

Sambica's condition seemed to be gradually improving. She said with a serious look:

"The original G drug causes physical dependency over the usage period, a side effect that is hard to overcome with willpower alone. The improved G2... extends this dependency to the mental level, making the user... more compliant."

"Compliant? What do you mean by that?"

Liz's gaze sharpened.

Sambica bit her lip and said, "It means that users in a hallucinogenic state will inevitably develop a compliant attitude towards those nearby."

"Huh? Such a thing..."

Liz found it hard to believe.

Drugs that cause physical or mental dependency are common in the underground world.

However, a drug like "G2," which is almost a "manipulation-type ability," is unheard of.

If what Sambica said is true, the spread of "G2" in the underground world would have unimaginable consequences.

"Miss Virus Hunter, it seems you've 'stolen' something significant, but..."

Liz rubbed her temples and said calmly, "The premise is that the actual effects of this drug match the 'data' you've seen."

"Yes."

Sambica nodded silently and said in a low voice, "So I need to return to Schwadani City as soon as possible to hand over the 'G2' to the Association for them to quickly test it. But..."

Schwadani City is where the Hunter Association is located.

Liz instantly understood the plea for help in Sambica's words, frowning and falling silent.

Regardless of the many important commissions she had, she couldn't just leave, especially not to escort Sambica to Schwadani City after tonight's sudden incident.

In short—

She couldn't help Sambica.

Sambica, seeing Liz's sudden silence, pursed her lips, wanting to say something but ultimately couldn't.

In a corner not far away.

Moyou, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but look at the drug box in Sambica's hand after hearing the conversation between Liz and Sambica.

Biscuit, who had been harassing Moyou, was also drawn to the drug box in Sambica's hand.

A drug that makes users compliant towards those nearby.

If it's true...

"Good stuff." x2

Moyou and Biscuit thought simultaneously.

Then, as if by some unseen force, they looked at each other.

"?" x2

A moment of eye contact made Moyou and Biscuit both freeze, then naturally averted their gazes as if nothing had happened.

"This guy..." x2

Moyou lowered his head, and Biscuit drooped her eyelids.

"What are you thinking?" x2

Both were filled with suspicion.

At this moment—

The sound of knocking came from downstairs, breaking the silence in the office.

"Avoid them."

Liz knew the police had arrived.

While they could ignore the body outside, they couldn't ignore the one in the office.

They would have to deal with the police.

But with Liz's status and skills, it wasn't a big problem.

Sambica, hearing this, struggled to stand up.

She couldn't be discovered by the police, or it would put her in a difficult position.

Moyou glanced at her, hesitated, and ultimately decided not to help her up.

After all, they weren't familiar.

And his impression of Sambica was vague, only vaguely remembering seeing her in the original election plot, where she seemed to be one of the candidates for the presidency.

Following Liz's instructions, Moyou and the others temporarily hid.

Liz went downstairs to deal with the police.

It was unknown what method she used, but she managed to stay out of it while having the police take the body in the office away.

"Let the trouble end quickly, I need to develop my ability!"

Moyou thought to himself, listening to the fading sounds.
