Chapter 10: The Fish's Gaze Gradually Clears

Zhou Zhengde felt like his head was about to explode!

He quickly shuffled through the bustling lobby of the Thirteenth Floor's Security Office, his face so dark it was frightening. The clerical staff who had been whispering about a shooting incident immediately lowered their voices upon seeing him.

Fortunately, as the Security Captain of the Thirteenth Floor, he took his image seriously. He didn't lash out at anyone randomly but instead, holding back his fury, took several turns to reach the witness protection room and kicked open its alloy door with one foot.

Wei Na, who was soaking in a bath while wearing a swimsuit, jumped in fright.

The two security officers at the door immediately lowered their heads... and then sneakily glanced using the corners of their eyes.

"Hmm," Wei Na smiled, "What's wrong with my ex-boyfriend now? Must you hand me over? Could you wait until I pick some nice clothes?"

"Those bastards from the Black Fire Gang wouldn't dare touch me!"

Zhou Zhengde spoke with a tone thick with gunpowder, and he turned his head to glare at the officers by the door, who quickly shut the alloy door.

Zhou Zhengde took off his hat, loosened the top button of his undergarment, walked over to the corner table to turn the room's lights to their brightest, and took several big gulps of cold water, pacing around for a good while before he managed to calm himself down.

"Who exactly is Mu Liang?"

Zhou Zhengde's voice was thick with uncontainable irritation:

"Wei Na, I know you've been in the army and were even dismissed! I also know you have some friends who are Spiritual Ability Users from the Thirteenth Institute!

"Wei Na!

"You must tell me the truth now! Who exactly is he!"

"Who, who? A cute, interesting young guy?"

Wei Na climbed out of the oil drum she used as a bath, grabbed a towel nearby to wrap around herself, her long hair held up, emitting the unique charm of a mature woman.

She wondered, "Did something happen? I only have limited interactions with him, as you know. I received information about a self-harm case in the area, then went to provide medical support, afterward I encountered the scum from the Black Fire Gang... You have to tell me what happened so I can help you make a judgment."

"He killed two gunmen from the Black Fire Gang, bare-handed with only a folding knife! Killed! Two! Armed and well-trained! Black Fire Gang gunmen!"

Zhou Zhengde's voice stumbled with emphasis.

He paced around for quite a while.

Wei Na was clearly stunned, then her eyes started to sparkle, and she exclaimed in awe, "Wow, he's that amazing?"

Zhou Zhengde grew even more irate.

He angrily said, "Just now, Mu Liang's alarm went off. I sent people over, and brought back a dozen injured gangsters! That damn Rotten Fish got captured! I checked the surveillance and saw Rotten Fish was taken hostage by Mu Liang! Only one camera caught a fuzzy shadow! Now they've completely disappeared! Most likely, they've gone down to Lower City!"

Wei Na crossed her arms, smiling easily, "Really? Are you sure? Mu Liang, a handsome but frail young man, killed two gunmen, took down a group of thugs? He's that cool?"

Zhou Zhengde:...

He needed to calm down.

"I know you're quite interested in this young man now, but you need to understand, it's me, Zhou Zhengde, who is protecting you now!"

Zhou Zhengde cursed:

"Mu Liang is very likely a Spiritual Ability User! Those disgusting, filthy, despicably shameless Spiritual Ability Users!

"The thought that I might have aided a killing machine trained by the Thirteenth Institute makes me sick! Sick!

"You know why I was transferred from the Law Enforcement Team! You know how much I despise those bastards!"

"That being said, I suggest you calm down first, your voice is really grating," Wei Na's voice softened significantly, "I thought you were jealous of him."

Zhou Zhengde was speechlessly vexed.

Wei Na winked with her left eye and sat in an armchair with her legs crossed, her shapely pale legs gleaming.

She chuckled, "Tell me about the injuries of those two gunmen and those thugs, as well as the survivors' statements. Although I've been away from the military hospital for several years, I should be able to tell if those injuries were caused by a Spiritual Ability User."

"The place where the shooting occurred has surveillance that can fully capture the entire process..."

Zhou Zhengde quickly narrated the battle from the surveillance video perspective, then changed the topic:

"Rotten Fish's territory doesn't have normal surveillance.

"And those thugs basically didn't see anything, only heard the whooshing sounds, then suffered severe neck pain and breathing difficulties, with a few still in a coma, which could lead to some brain damage due to oxygen deprivation."

Zhou Zhengde pondered for a while and continued:

"At the scene, some... nuts and bolts were found, standard maintenance parts that can be exchanged for 1 General Quota each.

"The places where these thugs were hit were very close together, right here on the neck.

"I'm a good shot, as you know. If I had a standard caliber sniper rifle and set up a position, at a distance of fifty meters, I would find it very hard to precisely hit almost the exact same spot, it's very difficult to achieve.

"The only possibility I can think of is a Spiritual Ability User, those who can manipulate objects with telekinesis.

"But this still doesn't make sense, even the lowest E-level Spiritual Ability Users are extremely valuable resources... Mu Liang has lived in this area for years, and his character is timid, always bullied by hooligans, even bullied to the point of attempting suicide, we can trace his life trajectory."

Wei Na asked, "Could it be an undiscovered Spiritual Ability User by the Thirteenth Institute? Maybe he awakened some ability?"

Zhou Zhengde immediately said, "Impossible, I can be one hundred percent sure, Spiritual Ability Users are cultivated! They are not mutations of individual humans, nor are they human evolution! Also, he took hostage that gang leader Rotten Fish, his aim might be to use Rotten Fish to go to Lower City to retaliate against the Black Fire Gang, now that the Black Fire Gang has directly threatened his life."
