Stepping out of the alley, Lin Ye stood outside a three-story abandoned building, which was the black market stronghold of those gang members.

A large number of gang members were aiming at Lin Ye with weapons at the windows, and a strong man on the third floor looked down at Lin Ye and said loudly:

"Are you from the Security Bureau? I know quite a few friends in the Security Bureau. Is there some kind of misunderstanding between us?"

"Oh? Then do you know the Director of the Security Bureau?"

Lin Ye swept across each window, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Of course, we've drunk together."

The strong man said without hesitation.

"How come I don't remember?"

Activating the speed runes on his trouser legs, Lin Ye instantly rushed into the abandoned building.

The gang members hurriedly opened fire, but all the bullets were left behind by Lin Ye.

Using his mental power to sense his surroundings, Lin Ye could kill enemies through the walls without getting close. Gunshots rang out continuously, and enemies fell to the ground one after another.

In the end, only the strong man was still alive.

He was a second-order psionic, but that wasn't the reason he was still alive.

"It's much better now. I don't like looking up to talk to people, and I especially don't like shouting loudly."

Lin Ye walked towards the strong man with a rifle. The file had the other party's name, Frank, the black market manager and well-informed rat. This abandoned building was his lair.

"Are you the new Director of the Security Bureau? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Lin Ye had just killed all of Frank's men, but Frank had no intention of avenging them at all. He just wanted to survive now.

"No, I'm here to deal with the things in the room behind you. Dealing with you is just a side effect."

Out of caution, Lin Ye sensed Frank's vitals, ready to attack at any time.

"I also know a few similar locations. As long as you spare my life, I will definitely tell you all the information I know."

Frank was holding the item he used to fight for his life. He was already terrified of Lin Ye. Even if Lin Ye was only a first-order, a fake like him who relied on potions was no match.

"I know where the remaining locations are. A large number of people are missing. There aren't many places nearby where rituals can be held."

Lin Ye suddenly drew out the Red Blade and cut off Frank's right arm. The two were very close, and Frank couldn't react at all.

"Ahhhhh!"

Frank let out a scream. He subconsciously wanted to use the thing in his right hand, but found that his right hand was gone.

Lin Ye picked up the sphere that rolled out of the other party's right hand. The sphere was similar to a grenade, and its internal psionic fluctuations were extremely strong, so its power should not be small.

"Not bad, now you can die."

Lin Ye had sensed this thing before. In order to prevent Frank from not dying with one shot, Lin Ye deliberately closed the distance.

"Wait!"

Before Frank could finish speaking, Lin Ye killed him.

At this distance, he couldn't react at all to Lin Ye's attack.

After dealing with the Flesh Tree in the room, Lin Ye cleaned up the battlefield, replenished some weapons and ammunition, and then left the abandoned building.

Back in the sports car, Lin Ye felt a sense of oppression. The entire city was shrouded in this atmosphere, making it difficult to breathe.

"Have they reacted? That's right, two nodes have been destroyed. No matter how slow they are, they should react."

Lin Ye used Nora's communicator to send the remaining node locations to Grace, and said to Grace:

"The plan has changed. Let the people from the Security Bureau go and destroy these nodes. Tell them that if they can't destroy these nodes, the entire city will be destroyed. Let them decide for themselves whether to fulfill their duties."

"What? The city will be destroyed?!"

Lin Ye said calmly.

"Can the destruction of these nodes prevent the city from being destroyed?"

Grace confirmed.

"Yes, leave the rest to me, I promise."

Lin Ye looked at Nora and then said:

"Go to the church in the suburbs."

Perhaps out of some inexplicable sense of ritual, these cultists always like to set up ritual sites near churches.

"Yes, sir."

Nora was very worried about the safety of the city, and also worried about whether her colleagues could successfully handle the ritual nodes, but she now had more important work to do.

The sports car sped towards the church, the engine making a high-pitched roar.

"Stop the car."

As they were about to pass a river bridge, Lin Ye suddenly said.

Nora hurriedly stopped the sports car at the bridgehead, looking at Lin Ye in confusion.

"This is a necessary route. If I were the other side, I would ambush here."

He had vaguely felt uneasy before, but after the sports car stopped, that uneasiness faded away.

Lin Ye took out a psionic sniper rifle and used the scope to find the enemy's location.

The sniper scope could scan psionic gathering points. Soon, Lin Ye found the target in the woods on the other side of the river.

Bang!

The bullet easily shattered the opponent's psionic shield and head. Even Lin Ye's mutated psionic shield couldn't withstand a few shots of this power.

Bang!

Bang!

The enemies began to flee in all directions, but the deadly gunshots not only did not stop, but increased in frequency.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Each bullet could take away an enemy, and Lin Ye quickly ran out of a magazine.

By the time Lin Ye changed to a new magazine, the enemies had already run away.

"Let's go."

Lin Ye returned to the sports car, Nora stepped on the accelerator, and continued to rush towards the church.

… … … … … … …

"They failed. The other party was experienced and directly sniped and killed eight believers on the other side of the river."

Father Matthew said with a calm expression.

"I told you not to kill that Director. The Security Bureau is indeed severely corrupt, but it is still the strongest violent institution in the entire Federation. The headquarters is even full of monsters. This new Director may have been sent by the headquarters. He destroyed two of the most important ritual nodes as soon as he arrived. Do you know how long I worked hard for these two nodes?"

Ethan looked angry. Mr. Jin and Rat were both downlines that he had painstakingly developed, but now they were all gone.

The other party appeared too suddenly, and the bureau didn't send out any news at all. Otherwise, he would have had ways to deal with a new Director.

"That old guy was too much of a hindrance. We had to kill him. I admit that this new Director has some tricks, but no matter how strong he is, he is just a first-order psionic. He is not to be feared. The important thing is the ritual nodes. I need you to replenish a few new simple nodes to maintain the ritual."

Father Matthew still looked calm. He planned to reduce the scale of the ritual and only harvest the lives of half the city.

"That's easier said than done. Where am I going to get so many living people to make simple nodes now?"

Ethan couldn't keep up with the thinking of this fellow cultist at all. He was already preparing to run away, but the other party still wanted to continue the ritual.

"Aren't there still some believers? I will let them cooperate with you."

Father Matthew said as a matter of course.

"… …Aren't they believers of your church?"

Even Ethan wouldn't treat his subordinates as sacrifices.

"This is the meaning of the lamb's existence."
