Ye Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief as he stepped out of that oppressive building.
No matter why Hao Jian, the goofy captain of the police force, had started to doubt him, he couldn't worry about that now. At least there was no evidence linking him directly to the fire, right?
As for the circumstances surrounding Liuli Li's death, it seemed only these detectives knew anything about it. Even that Energetic Girl probably had no clue.
Suddenly, Ye Kai felt a wave of confusion wash over him.
He should have been happy to have received a Divine System, right? So why did he feel so uncertain inside, as if he were standing on the edge of a cliff with nothing but a glass walkway beneath him? Even if he didn't want to look down, his legs felt weak.
Alright!
In a positive light, it was a Divine System, and he was also an existence that could only emerge in legends—the Supreme Deity!
But could someone please tell him why this Divine System looked so… so broken? Even a knockoff would be countless times stronger than this!
The Biochemical Laboratory had only opened its first level and was unusable—not due to a lack of equipment but because it lacked the most basic thing—a Biochemical database.
Fine!
At least there was a Level One Technology Base, right? It could still produce something like the UPS Tactical Pistol, couldn't it?
But who the hell could tell him why such a large base couldn't stockpile some materials? Why did he have to find everything himself?
What?
After using up all the materials, he could only produce three handguns. But damn it, why were there fewer than fifty bullets left? Huh? Huh?
As for that Dimension Information Pheromone Collector or whatever network it was, he couldn't use it anyway because there was no energy source and no Dimension coordinate locating components. Because…
Alright, now it seems that even energy is about to run out. Is this really the Divine System? Could it be some prank by a ridiculous genius?
After pondering for a moment, Ye Kai looked down at his open palm and sighed; he had resigned himself to his fate.
Who told him to offend those he shouldn't have? Those two certainly wouldn't mind him practicing his shooting skills. Well then, let's go recharge!!!
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Ye Kai lifted his head at the sound. It turned out that while he was lost in thought, he had accidentally bumped into a pedestrian.
A very beautiful girl—this was Ye Kai's first impression.
She was dressed quite casually, wearing a fitted white short-sleeve shirt on top, with cartoon dog-patterned large headphones over her ears. Her lower half was clad in deep gray shorts that revealed a glimpse of her lovely legs, paired with casual shoes. She looked like a college student out shopping.
This girl had a golden ponytail, perhaps she loved sports; her skin had a slight tan, giving her a healthy and sunny appearance.
Her features were strikingly beautiful, but what caught the most attention were her large, lively eyes. They were more vibrant than any eyes Ye Kai had ever seen, as if all the vitality of Divine City radiated from them.
Typically, when someone bumps into another person, regardless of who it is, there’s bound to be an unpleasant expression—especially in this bustling metropolis—unless the other person is exceptionally good-looking.
Noticing Ye Kai's grim expression, Duranlan first furrowed her cute little nose in confusion and then broke into a sunny smile, saying, "It's fine, it's fine! No need to apologize. I can see you're in a hurry. If you have something to do, just go ahead!"
Perhaps she had eaten something strange; why did she keep smelling something odd? Did she forget to wash her hands after finishing those ribs?
Duranlan flicked her shiny golden ponytail and took big strides forward again.
"..."
Ye Kai furrowed his brow as he watched the Sunshine Beauty sway her ponytail and stride confidently past him. After all, the girl didn’t seem to mind, and he, as a grown man, couldn’t very well chase after her.
“Creeeak…!”
Suddenly, the sound of an emergency brake screeched through the air, snapping Ye Kai back to attention. He looked over warily, fearing that the Vixen might actually be reckless enough to run him over.
However, he realized he had only guessed part of the situation; it was neither the beginning nor the end…
“Oh my goodness, are you okay?”
It turned out that a Pickup Truck had nearly collided with another car while turning, causing the driver to jump out of the cab with a pale face, shouting in alarm.
In no time, most people were curiously gathering around.
Yet for some reason, upon witnessing this scene, Ye Kai suddenly felt a surge of danger, as if some wild beast was lurking nearby, eyeing him hungrily, its sharp fangs and claws ready to strike.
He glanced around cautiously but saw no immediate threats; most people were heading toward the accident site. He quickly lowered his head and hurried along the sidewalk.
Just as he began to doubt whether he was being overly sensitive and paranoid, a waft of familiar fragrance brushed past him. It was a scent he knew all too well.
He certainly couldn’t forget it because just a few moments ago, he had rented to Liuli Li…
A chill ran down Ye Kai’s spine. “God, scan within a ten-meter radius for that woman who wants to kill me, quickly!”
In less than a second, the response came back: “Scan complete. She is currently within one meter behind you and is armed with thirteen lethal weapons. Please be cautious, Lord God. Warning: Lord God, please elevate your personal safety level as soon as possible.”
“Activate Energy Shield!”
At that moment, there was no time for idle chatter. Ye Kai decisively activated the Energy Shield.
In the next instant, he felt a hand coiling around his left arm like a venomous snake.
"Ding!"
Su Qiong was startled. She never expected that the person who had nearly gotten her killed would possess such terrifying skills. Her tranquilizer needle hadn’t even pierced him.
Even though she had witnessed part of his quick evasions and explosive speed before, she realized she had still underestimated him.
Although it was just a tranquilizer, its technological sophistication was not low; even a beast would fall within three seconds of being injected.
"Damn it!"
Ye Kai was equally surprised that this woman actually dared to attack him in broad daylight. If it weren't for the divine protection and the Energy Shield, his fate would have been dire.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes as he clenched his left fist and drove his elbow forcefully backward.
"Bang!"
After a faint thud, Ye Kai stumbled, his face turning pale. He thought to himself that this woman’s strength was no joke; it was terrifying. If his body hadn’t already been optimized once, that blow would have surely broken his arm.
However, he didn’t stop. Gritting his teeth, he sprinted forward at top speed. At this moment, he couldn’t afford to think about anything else. With the Energy Shield up, he wasn’t afraid of any hidden weapons or bullets behind him.
After running across the sidewalk and sprinting for a minute, he finally stopped in front of a large shopping mall and turned to look back.
In the distance, he saw a woman in a black dress with delicate white arms gracefully approaching. A playful smile lingered at the corner of her mouth.
Ye Kai's heart jolted as he suddenly turned around.
A Bald Man was striding toward him from another direction, his gaze cold and predatory, exuding an unmistakable aura of menace.
This time, it was truly dire!
The Bald Giant was only about thirty meters away.
How on earth did these people find him?
Now he even began to suspect that the earlier car accident had been orchestrated by these two, designed to draw the attention of most pedestrians away before they made their move on him.
Ye Kai felt a chill creeping up his spine, a sensation that momentarily left his scalp tingling.
If his suspicions were true, one could only imagine the terrifying power behind these two.
He had only been away from Hao Jian for a mere ten minutes, and they had already plotted everything?
It was too frightening!!!
What does it mean when misfortune comes in waves? This is it!!!
