Chapter 2. The End of the Earth?!

"Freeze! NYPD! Freeze!" Jay raised his gun with both hands and aimed at the mugger. Unfortunately, the mugger had run into the street. There were too many pedestrians on the street, and Jay didn't want to injure people.

'Fuck! If I get you, I'm gonna break your legs! '

Jay desperately tried to catch up. Watching the mugger rush to an overpass, he saw him jump quite high. 'The fuck is he doing? Parkour?'

Noah saw Jay rushing up the overpass and rushed to follow. However, his physical quality was much worse. Fortunately, he still had a card, the LV2 experience card.

With a thought, the LV2 experience card disappeared, Noah felt that there seemed to be some more strength in his body, and the fatigue he felt after running just now disappeared.

The mugger grabbed the guardrail of the overpass with both hands, looked at Noah and Jay, who were catching up, and without hesitation, jumped. With just a slight bend in his knees, he ran as fast as he could into the distance.

Jay was shocked. 'Are all criminals this desperate nowadays? Wait, what's Noah doing?!'

Just then, a double-decker bus drove under the overpass. Noah targeted that and jumped straight down.

Looking at this, a thought flashed in Jay's mind.

'A normal civilian could do that, and I am an officer of the NYPD, I can do that too!'

Jay gritted his teeth, jumped, rolled on landing, and stood up. He saw Noah jumping from the second floor of the moving bus and chasing the mugger.

"Ah ~~ who is that? That's so cool." A blond woman sitting in the bus shouted in awe.

Jay paused. 'Which one of us is the cop here? Why are you working harder than me? I can't lose to a civilian!'

"Don't panic! NYPD! We're chasing a criminal." Jay showed his badge and looked down, then … he went down the bus's stairs and got off through the bus door…

'The second floor was too high. How did Noah do that?'

Just as a truck turned, Jay grabbed onto the truck and looked at the two people who were running at the side of the road. 'Why didn't I know Noah could do that?'

The mugger looked back. No one came after him, and he finally felt relieved. 'I can't believe a nobody police officer chased this far. He's gone, right?'

'These poor earthlings don't know what's going on, right? They don't know he's coming!'

Noah watched as Jay hitchhiked past him. 'Shit, why didn't I think of hitchhiking? However, LV2 is kind of great. I feel like I could surpass some soldiers right now.'

"Noah, thanks for being a model citizen. But you got to leave this to me."

The mugger was ready to see what he got from the mugging when a figure suddenly lunged at him. The other party grabbed his wrist, pressed him against the wall, and at the same time took out a police badge from his pocket.

"You see this? NYPD! That means I'm going to send your ass to the police station! You messed up my dinner!"

"He is coming; he is coming..." The mugger spoke in panic.

"Yeah? When he gets here, I'll arrest his ass too! "Jay thought the other party was talking about accomplices, and it was much more credit to catch a gang than one person.

Maybe he could use it to get a promotion and a raise?

While he was thinking about a better life in the future, he saw that the mugger had pulled out a gun from somewhere, but the shape was very strange.

Noah had just rushed over and kicked the mugger in the wrist. The gun fell to the ground, the glass part shattered, and it turned into a ball of flame.

'Fuck!'

Jay wanted to swear. 'Where did that gun come from? Is this guy a magician? Why would a gun break and burn?'

The mugger jerked back while Jay was in a daze, and at the same time, his feet quickly pushed on the wall. His body jumped 360 degrees and conveniently broke free from Jay's restraint. But it also slammed Jay into the wall.

'What's the matter with this guy? He jumped from an overpass, ran that fast, and jumped that high. He could have been an athlete!'

'But I've never let a criminal go, and I am keeping my streak!'

Jay took out a gun and aimed with both hands, but he saw that the mugger had run towards a parking building while his roommate Noah was running past him.

"Hey, Noah! I told you to leave it to me; it's dangerous!"

While shouting, he rushed over. Jay didn't want his roommate to be in danger.

"Where did he go?" Jay stood beside Noah, looking for the mugger.

Before Noah answered, he saw a figure suddenly jumping up from the lawn. The guy jumped towards the building wall, then climbed up as if he was Spider-Man.

Jay was shocked. There were no ladders, pipes, or even any ledges to hold on to. 'How did that guy climb up?'

"Noah, you stay here; I'll catch him. I won't let him get away!" Jay quickly ran to the front door of the parking building, but it was closed and locked at this time.

He raised his gun, shot the glass door twice, and rushed in. Along the parking lot ramp, he ran all the way up.

"Damn it! Who made this building so tall!" Jay panted as he ran, vowing to catch the mugger and give the guy a good beating.

At the same time, he saw something going up in the corner of his eye. Noah was waving at him. 'Why didn't I think of taking the elevator? Don't elevators get turned off after working hours?!'

The mugger was trapped on the rooftop, and all the doors were locked. He tried them all one by one, and finally, one was left open.

"What's up?" Jay was almost out of breath. He pointed his gun at the mugger's head with both hands. If this guy tried anything, he was ready to shoot.

"He's coming..." The mugger held up his hands and stepped back, "He's coming because I failed, and he'll kill me."

Jay frowned. 'Is this guy nuts? Is he taking something?'

"Noah, help me get the handcuffs out of my waist. I think this guy needs some time out in the station. He needs to sober up."

Noah didn't take the handcuffs but instead looked at the mugger. 'So, this is an alien? He really looks like a normal human being.'

"You said someone was going to kill you. When will he come? Can you contact him?"

Jay frowned. 'What's Noah talking about? Why are you even indulging him?'

"They don't understand! Their world is gonna end!" The mugger didn't answer Noah but continued to talk to himself.

Suddenly, the mugger's eyes blinked, but the upper and lower eyelids didn't move, as it was as if he had an extra layer of vertical eyelids.

Jay's hands shook a little. Today, he saw too many strange things. The human eye couldn't possibly blink like that, and it wa+s not the time for magic tricks.

"What the hell are you?"

The mugger didn't say anything. With a mysterious smile, he stepped back, step by step, right to the edge of the rooftop.

"Hey! Watch the ledge! Watch the ledge! Look, come on down, and we can get those eyes fixed. Don't worry about it."

'He just snatched a bag, right? And maybe smoked something. That wasn't enough to kill himself!'

Noah quickly said, "Don't be afraid. If you tell us who wants to kill you, we'll take care of him!"

"It's no use, you will all die, and the Earth will perish."

The mugger spread out his arms and leaned back.

Noah quickly rushed over, reaching out to catch the guy, "Wait! We can talk!!"
