The night view of the sea was shrouded in an elusive haze, as passengers hurriedly disembarked from the plane. A taxi picked up a man in a black trench coat, who arrived at a luxurious hotel, dragging a small suitcase behind him. He twirled a lighter in his hand before lighting a cigarette.
It was evident that dark circles hung beneath his eyes; no one knew how long it had been since he last slept. The nicotine provided a brief jolt of energy, and after announcing his room number, someone escorted him to his accommodations. This hotel was the closest to the district police station, and from the floor-to-ceiling windows of his room, one could see the entrance of the police station through a telescope.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
His phone vibrated.
What’s going on? Lin Yuan has been at the police station all day; he must know we’re planning to take action against him. Just stay put for now.
The man in the trench coat hung up his coat and set his phone to speaker mode while pouring himself a glass of wine.
There’s no need for that. At this distance, as long as he shows up, I’m confident I can hit my target.
What if you miss? You’ll be facing a city-wide manhunt. Don’t underestimate those people at the police station.
The sea isn’t a small place; they just appear to be competent enough to make people feel safe.
Then we need to come up with a way to draw him out.
Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows, the man stared at the police station with soulless eyes devoid of any emotion. All he needed to do was complete his mission.
If you have a plan, by all means go ahead. Also, others are starting to make moves; if this mission fails, it will cost you as well.
He was open to any means that could be employed; there shouldn’t be any variables in this plan.
Sighing softly, the man on the other end of the line put down his phone. If any of his subordinates dared to speak to him like that, they would have been dead many times over. But given that this one was already on the brink of death, it didn’t matter anymore.
In the police station's advisory room, Lin Yuan found himself in a familiar criminal space within his dreams. Thanks to his photographic memory skill, he had memorized all the cases. During this time, as his combat skills improved, so did his physical condition—he even developed some muscle.
However, this time Lin Yuan noticed something unusual above him; the dim stars seemed to be moving slowly as if stirred by some unseen force.
What’s happening? It wasn’t like this before.
A sense of inexplicable danger washed over him, though it felt somewhat distant. He began to ponder.
If there were others who could enter this space like him, did that mean they were actually in one place but unable to see each other?
The emergence of the criminal system felt like a choice between good and evil. Previously, this choice should have led down an unyielding path of crime.
"System, do I have to compete with them?"
That was the only thought that crossed his mind.
【Host permissions insufficient to answer this question.】
The system's inability to provide an answer hinted at something deeper. Lin Yuan's gaze fell on the criminal cases, and he noticed something amiss; the arrangement was not as it should have been. Moreover, wasn't the number of cases a bit off? Were there fewer? Could these things in the space actually decrease?
Gradually, Lin Yuan's thoughts began to take shape. If only a few individuals were chosen by the criminal system, then competition was inevitable. The uncertainty of those chosen would lead to different manifestations of their methods. The reduction in cases indicated that competition had already begun—if his side was decreasing, would the other side also diminish?
As for the power levels, it seemed that the opposing side must have a much higher base than his own. Perhaps thoughts in the criminal space were more active; at that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly realized how foolish his previous actions had been.
"I deserve to be targeted," he thought, cursing his impatience.
The criminal space did not give Lin Yuan much time to ponder these matters. A fierce-looking man materialized in the open area, signaling that today's mission was about to begin.
Another man who had also entered the space noticed a stern-looking officer in uniform standing before him. Today’s briefing was about assembling ten different types of firearms. A flicker of annoyance crossed his eyes; he was tired of this tedious theoretical knowledge. He had nearly completed his studies on firearms theory and was eager to find someone to test it out once it was over. As for his power level, he decided to set that aside for now.
Outside the police station, a car was parked by the roadside, inside which sat several individuals who had just fled from Tianshui Bay. They were not as well-informed as the man in the trench coat. How could a delivery worker possibly connect with the police?
A heavy smell of smoke filled the car as their gazes fixed on the police station entrance. Their boldness stemmed from the fact that, up until now, law enforcement had not identified their faces; only Li Dawei had been captured. Even if they appeared before the police, they wouldn't be recognized.
"Unless there's some connection with the police, how can we just stroll in here? How long are we supposed to wait?" one of them grumbled.
"This kid has been gone for days; let’s see if we can run into him tomorrow morning."
"Have you all put away your things?"
Suddenly, the leader spoke up.
They couldn't find a large number of buyers for their goods, so they naturally couldn't afford to lose anything carelessly.
"Heh heh heh, listen to me, boss. Let's bury it around here; no one would suspect a thing."
"What place could be more convenient than the police station?"
"As for the surveillance issue, there's no need to worry; we can find blind spots in the cameras."
"Once we deal with Lin Yuan, we can dig it up and take it away. We can't stay by the sea any longer."
It seemed impossible for them to remain here; if the police extracted biological information, there would be no way for them to escape in time.
"Rather than that, it's better to change locations."
"We all know, boss."
The others in the car nodded in agreement.
"As long as Lin Yuan shows up tomorrow, he's as good as dead!"
After a peaceful night passed, the police station provided breakfast in the morning, so Lin Yuan didn't go out.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yaozhi called him over, holding two steamed buns in his hands. Zheng Yun smiled when she saw Lin Yuan like this.
"Our meals aren't too bad, right?"
"Indeed."
Lin Yuan nodded honestly and glanced at the person in the interrogation room.
"Zhong Wei still hasn't spilled any information?"
"Although we've frozen his cards, it seems his wife has other cards that she recently opened, so we can't trace their source for now."
The police had no other excuses to freeze that amount of money either, so they were currently at a standstill.
"So money isn't what he's currently considering. What about Zhong Anguo?"
Zhong Anguo didn't say much; after recounting his criminal activities, he had nothing more to add. These two were indeed quite interesting.
When she said this, Lin Yuan glanced at her.
He had thought that the officers in the police station were all serious and diligent; he didn't expect one of them to have such a sarcastic side.
