Orderly tyrant

"Jiayi."

Lin Qing adjusted his uniform collar and asked, "Did anyone spot me along the way?"

"According to the plan, only the main road's surveillance saw you as 'Chu Tianyao'." Zhao Jiayi nodded. "As for the other surveillance cameras in this vicinity, I've already disabled them with my telekinesis in advance."

She constantly used her telekinesis to observe the underground warehouse beneath that bar.

The reason Lin Qing was able to enter the bar so smoothly and rush into the underground warehouse at such high speed was due to the route provided by Zhao Jiayi's telekinetic reconnaissance.

Even before he went in, he already knew about the existence of that short, fat man, Mr. Lu, and Director Wang.

Upon hearing Zhao Jiayi say that Director Wang had revealed the Light Society's tattoo and was a managing member, he didn't hesitate to kill him after rushing in.

Anyway, the one who took action was the fugitive Chu Tianyao. What does it have to do with him, the inspector Lin Qing?

"We can begin."

Lin Qing revealed a hint of a smile. "Their escape route has been cut off by me. Even if they want to transfer, they can only transfer through the obvious route of the bar's back door."

Zhao Jiayi nodded and immediately used her telekinesis to control a mobile phone, sending a tip-off letter to the inspectors.

After she successfully sent it, the phone also shattered into pieces in her telekinesis.

"Hoo!"

Lin Qing's hands flashed with a metallic luster, and then transformed into a series of afterimages, instantly smashing the broken phone into powder.

This pre-prepared anonymous phone was used to send the tip-off letter.

There was no need to worry that this tip-off letter would be ignored.

Because the ending of the tip-off letter was 'Concerned Citizen Chu Tianyao'.

The letter also contained keywords such as 'Crimson Iris Society' and 'Missing Persons Case', as well as detailed times and locations.

After the inspection system's intelligent search engine detected these keywords and detailed locations, it would classify this tip-off letter as a priority and check the surveillance cameras near this block.

Once his 'Chu Tianyao' face was identified through facial recognition in the surveillance records, the most urgent temporary task would be immediately issued.

This entire process might not even take a minute.

"Captain."

Zhao Jiayi said in astonishment, "That Mr. Lu is quite imaginative. He thinks you're in such a state that you'd rather die, so you directly killed that Director Wang."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "That means Chu Tianyao's situation is about as we predicted. He's not on the same side as the Crimson Iris Society. He's probably been poisoned and has no choice but to obey."

Of course, there's nothing to sympathize with about Chu Tianyao's plight.

He was originally a fugitive from Qinghu Island Prison, with hundreds of lives on his hands. The enormity of the crimes he committed meant he deserved to die long ago.

"Captain," Zhao Jiayi suddenly said, "That Zhang Zhiren has started to have people transfer those who have been captured."

"It doesn't matter, they won't make it in time."

Lin Qing said calmly, "I deliberately damaged the warehouse doors where people are being held, so that those doors would be more difficult to open, and it would delay the demolition time a bit."

The Xiaoshan District Inspection Bureau is located in the central area of the district, less than twenty kilometers away from here.

The speed of the patrol cars is already extremely fast, and the priority of traffic routes is also higher. The inspectors on duty can arrive in just a few minutes.

"Captain."

Zhao Jiayi suddenly frowned slightly and said, "The thugs are being very brutal in urging those who have been captured to get into the car as soon as possible, injuring several people as a warning to others."

"Just bear with it a little longer," Lin Qing said. "It's good that they're bringing people out of the underground warehouse, making it easier to catch them in the act. As long as those people can survive."

Zhao Jiayi silently bit her lip and continued to observe with her telekinesis.

However, her eyes revealed a hint of sorrow.

Lin Qing glanced at her and asked, "Have you experienced something like this before?"

"...Mm."

Zhao Jiayi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded gently and said in a low voice, "I've seen it many times, watching people like me being taken away one by one... Although I've never spoken to them, they are all my compatriots, and because I've seen it too many times, everyone has become numb..."

Seen it many times?

Numb?

Lin Qing couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Although the current public order is not as stable as it seems on the surface, these criminals only dare to do things like selling people as goods secretly, so it is still extremely rare.

How does it sound like Zhao Jiayi is talking about it as if it's a common occurrence?

"Have you heard them say what the Light Society wants so many people for?" Lin Qing asked.

"They didn't say."

Zhao Jiayi shook her head and said, "But living people... are always useful. Among these people who are being treated as goods, there is also a little girl, who should be the one with excellent qualifications that Zhang Zhiren mentioned."

Lin Qing remembered his past life.

In the apocalypse, selling oneself to survive was commonplace.

People who abandoned their humanity in the apocalypse were very common, but those who could still maintain their humanity were rare animals.

More people who wanted to be human had already ended their lives, either passively or actively.

He was very fortunate that he could live like a human being because of his Entropy Inverter talent.

Only those who have the ability have the right to choose...

Therefore, what he needs most is strength.

This is the only way to achieve his goals.

Only when his strength is strong can he climb higher, make the order level higher and higher, and bring more opportunities to become stronger.

"That's about it."

Lin Qing glanced at the shoulder badge representing the wings of freedom on his shoulder, gently wiped a speck of dust off it with his fingertips, and said, "Let's go in."

...

The dark blue sky gradually brightened, and a ray of dawn pierced through the sky.

At the back door of the Night Cat Bar on Baixiang Street, which was blocked by the courtyard wall, two black large trucks were parked, with strange circular logos visible on the carriages. At this time, the back doors of the trucks had been opened.

The inside of the carriage was divided into two-meter-long, half-meter-wide, and forty-centimeter-high grids.

Except for the two narrow aisles in the middle, the entire carriage was full of grids, like coffins. At this time, the lids of many grids had been closed.

The carriage, which was only a dozen meters long, three meters wide, and less than three meters high, actually contained more than a hundred coffin-like grids.

"Quick, hurry up!"

The thugs of the Crimson Iris Society were holding batons, fiercely urging the people with bags over their heads to get into the car, beating and scolding them to take the initiative to lie in the grids one by one.

The short, fat man, Mr. Lu, stood nearby expressionlessly, watching this scene.

Over the years, he had been responsible for escorting and guarding these people who were captured by the organization from various cities and regions, and had long been accustomed to it.

Even...

In the past, he was the same. The difference was that most people died, but he withstood the gene modification experiment and survived.

"Mr. Lu."

Zhang Zhiren led people over. The confidants behind him were still holding an eight- or nine-year-old girl. Her mouth was sealed with a restraining mask, and her eyes were full of numbness that she had long been accustomed to.

"This child can be confirmed to have excellent qualifications at such a young age. If she is cultivated from an early age, her potential will be even greater in the future."

Zhang Zhiren smiled and said, "She should be worth more points, right?"

He runs a leading enterprise in the province, and has earned enough money. He doesn't care much about money.

Only the status and points of the Light Society can allow him to get more good things, strength, knowledge, intelligence, and even the longevity technology of the Zhi Xing Group!

"Not bad." Mr. Lu glanced at the numb little girl and said lightly, "It should be able to add 50%, right?"

Zhang Zhiren couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.

Mr. Lu suddenly looked at the little girl's tightly clenched right hand and frowned slightly, "What's in her hand?"

The little girl's face was numb, and she slowly spread her palm like a puppet.

It was a worn-out one-yuan coin.

"Throw it away," Mr. Lu said lightly.

He didn't care what important meaning this coin had for this little girl, he only knew that any accidents should be avoided during the escort.

The little girl silently looked at the coin in her hand, but did not do as she was told like a marionette, but hesitated to look at it.

Mr. Lu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Suddenly—

"Director Zhang."

A man in a suit walked over quickly with a nervous expression and said in a low voice, "Just received news from the inspector bureau's informant that the inspection team of the Xiaoshan District Branch has set off as a whole and is rushing here!"

"What?"

Zhang Zhiren frowned slightly, and then said in a low voice, "Move faster, there's still plenty of time to evacuate."

As for these two transport vehicles?

Transport vehicles with the metropolitan area logo, even the inspection chief has no right to search them outside the metropolitan area!

Just then—

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, a large section of the courtyard wall at the back door of the Night Cat Bar suddenly collapsed, and smoke and dust billowed up in an instant.

Without the barrier of the wall, the dawn light in the sky pierced through the smoke and dust, dispelling the darkness of this backyard.

"Swoosh!"

At the same time, a blurry figure swept past like a gust of wind, instantly breaking through the smoke and dust and appearing in front of the crowd.

Under the dawn, the tall and solemn black inspector uniform, and the shoulder badge engraved with two pairs of wings, immediately changed the expressions of everyone in the Crimson Iris Society.

"Lin Qing, Second-Level Inspector of the Xiaoshan District Inspection Bureau."

Lin Qing glanced around, "Oh? It seems the evidence is conclusive, there's no need to search. Then surrender and be captured. Anyone who dares to resist... will be shot on the spot."
