Chapter 23

Twenty-four people's emotions.

The section chief Wang from the provincial public security department sat silently in the car with a middle-aged man who had a ruddy complexion, the bloody scene from the surveillance footage continuously replaying in his mind.

Fourteen special security personnel! Fourteen good comrades! They all fell at the feet of that black shadow!

That black-clad man was like a giant crocodile flying on the ground, his legs like the two massive, tooth-filled jaws of a crocodile, creating a whirlwind of leg movements, ruthlessly carving a bloody path through the special security personnel who rushed to the scene upon hearing the alarm. The specially selected security personnel, upon encountering the leg whirlwind, were immediately sent flying like rag dolls.

What puzzled Section Chief Wang was that after watching this bloody footage, Comrade Yun from Section Nine showed no change in his expression, his face as calm as an ancient well.

A young man, led by plainclothes police officers, walked out of the martial arts school gate. Section Chief Wang noticed that the usually expressionless Comrade Yun's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light!

However, a hint of disappointment quickly flashed across his face.

This young man practiced a soft and gentle internal martial art, but his skill was far from enough to kill that black-clad man. However, this was the only lead they had, so they had to treat it as a last resort!

Qian Xing felt a chill run down his spine as if he were being watched by a predator. He paused, a look of confusion and fear appearing on his face, but he did not stop walking, obediently heading towards the black minivan in front.

Without the transformation of Qiaqia Devil, Qian Xing would not have noticed this mental scan with just the basic level of the Nine Yin Manual. With the transformation of Qiaqia Devil and the understanding and utilization of moon energy, Qian Xing instinctively felt that he was completely powerless in front of this police officer.

When the security guard knocked on the door and said the police were looking for him, Qian Xing instinctively wanted to run away. However, the stack of bills in his wallet had already robbed him of the courage to flee.

If it was about injuring the urban management officer, it would cost him more money. But if it was about the black-clad man in the park, he was clearly an enemy of the state. If Qian Xing did not transform, he would definitely not be able to defeat that black-clad man. Even if someone suspected him, a look at his strength would dispel all doubts!

As it turned out, Qian Xing's gamble paid off. The middle-aged man surnamed Yun, with a single glance, realized that Qian Xing's current strength was far from a match for the black-clad man.

"Young man, you have been frequently withdrawing money from ATMs recently. Where did you get that card? The owner of this card is suspected of stealing important state secrets. As long as you can help the state find the lost secrets, any of your actions will be forgiven by the state!"

The middle-aged man surnamed Yun spoke, his words slow but carrying an undeniable aura of authority.

When Qian Xing heard the last part, "any of your actions will be forgiven by the state," he felt a surge of joy!

The only thing that could expose him was his frequent withdrawals. If his actions were forgiven, wouldn't the money he withdrew belong to him?

What Qian Xing didn't know was that the black-clad man had died suddenly in his hands without activating the self-destruction mechanism. Therefore, his appearance was known to the authorities for the first time. In previous cases, the black-clad man's accomplices had all self-destructed after failing, leaving no remains and no valuable clues for the authorities.

"It was like this. I was out playing one day and came back late. In the park, I saw the body of that black-clad man. I got greedy and took everything he had on him—here it is!"

Qian Xing handed over everything he had taken from the man that was related to modern technology, including the credit card that had already been used to withdraw 500,000 yuan.

The eyes of the man surnamed Yun and Section Chief Wang immediately lit up. They quickly passed these items to the back of the minivan, where it was filled with various instruments and screens.

A few minutes later, the inspection team reported that the small black USB drive was indeed a tool used by international spies to copy computer information. After breaking the simple password, the data inside turned out to be the top-secret information that the research institute had lost.

The other small items were also high-performance spy tools.

With the recovery of the data, all the officials present let out a sigh of relief.

Qian Xing was taken back to the National Security Bureau for questioning, but he insisted that he had just happened to pass by and, out of greed, had taken the belongings of a dead man.

After repeated questioning yielded nothing, Qian Xing was told he could go home.

The middle-aged man surnamed Yun was very satisfied with how easily this major trouble had been resolved and with the numerous clues they had obtained. He smiled and handed Qian Xing a phone number with his surname—Yun.

"Thank you, young man. For someone your age to have practiced the Yin energy martial arts to this level is quite impressive. If you need any materials in the future, you can come to me!"

"Sure, Brother Yun. I'll definitely come to you if I need anything, no problem!"

Once the Nine Yin Manual was practiced to a certain level, special herbs and materials were needed. This was true for all advanced martial arts, even for practicing the Iron Sand Palm, which required soaking the hands in medicinal water after each session.

With the promise of help from this high-ranking official from Section Nine, the rare materials needed for practice were now within reach.

A simple act had gained him such a friend, and the case of injuring the urban management officer was now resolved. "Heh," Qian Xing snapped his fingers in satisfaction.

As soon as he returned to his dormitory, he received a notification: "One hour from now, you will enter the beginner scene two, 'The Mastiff.' Task: Survive and return to the real world from the scene 'The Mastiff.'"

Heaven? The task is just to survive? This scene must be really twisted!

Qian Xing ran at full speed to the largest pharmacy in the city, sweeping through all the medicines for treating external injuries and promoting tissue regeneration, filling a large basket.

Since no items were required, the storage space was best used for one thing—medicine! The transformation of Qiaqia Devil was still a physical being, and healing medicines were effective on its physical form!
