Tap tap—
When Wu Liang landed from mid-air and his shoes made two tapping sounds on the ground, Fla and another team mber approaching didn’t dare to speak to him much.
Because the impostor who fell with him had once again started foaming at the mouth, looking like he was about to die.
"So the impostor I encountered at the beginning was also beaten up by this guy... what exactly is his Awakened Ability?" The team mber was genuinely puzzled.
Flight, a mysterious power that causes bats to die in droves, the bizarre phenonon where an impostor gets looked at by him and starts foaming at the mouth in a daze, strength beyond ordinary people...
The Awakened Ability of soone from the second squad is this exaggerated?
Didn’t they say the overall strength of the second squad was a bit worse than ours?
How do you call this—rushing in an instant to beat two impostors to death while still holding a blood-seeping cleaver that looks like sothing out of a Demon King’s descent—worse?!
"Have you found the last impostor?" Wu Liang asked lightly.
The male team mber nearby stepped forward and said, "Hello, Shadow, I am the chanic from the first squad, currently there is no trace of the last impostor on any monitored part of this street, he must be hiding."
Then, he flicked his glasses.
Imdiately, it displayed all the operational surveillance footage of the entire comrcial street, looking dense and intimidating.
No one knew how he could see everything clearly.
Wu Liang couldn’t see any electronic components or even chips on the glasses, it seed like an ordinary pair.
Clearly, this must be so Awakened Ability of the chanic.
"Huh? Hold on, sothing seems off."
Just finished speaking, the chanic frowned and looked at one of the surveillance screens so small it seed just pixels, and Wu Liang couldn’t even make out the exact content.
He could only hear the chanic narrating the situation in the surveillance: "So people on the evacuated side are causing trouble."
"About ten people are clamoring to leave the shelter, saying we’re illegally detaining them."
At this point, the chanic let out a curious "huh," then thoughtfully said, "Huh? Strange, it seems more and more people are joining the noisy ones, and it’s only been a few minutes?"
He wasn’t the Official Awakened for the first day, after all.
He had joined the Supernatural Handling Squad for over two years and had participated in evacuating crowds, numbering in thousands if not ten thousand, with nearly a hundred tis under his belt.
In this era of paranormal resurgence, even though Fierce Ghosts cannot bring systemic destruction due to the existence of the Awakened and Paranormal Handling Departnt.
But when they appear, their danger is well-known.
In his nearly hundred evacuation experiences, even if soone was impatient or grumbling, their body would honestly follow the crowd to hide.
No one takes their life as a joke.
This was the first ti where trouble started in less than half an hour after evacuating, and the key point was—the collapse of Dongri Grand Hotel was visible to the entire comrcial street.
That movent scared the evacuated crowd stiff!
Under such circumstances, why would they imdiately start causing trouble and demanding to return to the street?
"Afraid one mont and courageous the next?" the chanic muttered to himself.
Upon hearing this, Wu Liang rely squinted, contemplating for a few seconds, then glanced at the severed limb of the Bionic Man in his hand, soon to be completely teleported away.
Through the mories of the previous few impostors, he had actually acquired quite a bit.
For instance, the conditions for modifying Supernatural Objects are stringent, not as casually mass-produced as he initially imagined, and the technology indeed originates from his dad’s mory.
The Promised Land has a secret base in Chengyang City, though they are unaware of the exact location.
His dad is vital to the Promised Land, kept in the secret base for protection.
Among the deathwish operatives responsible for mutual destruction, one had a Supernatural Object that wasn’t directly lethal.
That is, unlike previously causing rat tides or gathering bat swarms for straightforward harm.
This thing was likely to indirectly damage the official image.
"Let ask, if the official handles this kind of evacuation trouble, what usually happens? I’m new, so I don’t know," Wu Liang inquired.
This ti, Fla responded from the side: "Of course, it primarily revolves around persuasion and pacification. After all, needing to evacuate civilians ans nearby danger, letting them leave the shelter is impossible."
Her response was within Wu Liang’s reasoning scope as well.
If civilians left chaotically, the evacuation would be aningless; if sothing happened to them, it would be blad on the officials.
Right after, Wu Liang’s mind raced, and his eyes flashed with insight: "I know where the last impostor is, let’s quickly head to where civilians are causing trouble!"
Though the chanic and Fla were sowhat puzzled, given Wu Liang had handled the previous impostors, they instinctively led the way.
This ti, while carrying them in rapid flight above, Fla couldn’t help but say:
"Shadow... you’re not going to throw down as a missile again next, are you..."
To this, Wu Liang rely shrugged and said, "Probably not, since it’s all civilians down there."
Upon hearing this, Fla’s mouth twitched.
So, if it weren’t civilians down there, you’d consider throwing again?
...
Under the chanic’s control of monitoring the entire street, they reached the shelter’s location within three minutes.
Looking at what used to be an exhibition hall, temporarily used as a shelter for civilians to hide in, Wu Liang couldn’t help nodding in approval.
Secure it well, turning it into a prison!
Of course, he wasn’t suggesting officials trapping civilians, but rather the impostor trapping himself.
"So... Shadow, you think the impostor is hiding among the riotous crowd?" the chanic asked, frowning in confusion.
The intelligence they received indicated all impostors wore official uniforms.
Since their goal was to damage the official image and status in people’s minds, hiding among civilians without uniforms wouldn’t achieve much!
The officials could claim this was rogue Awakened causing trouble; they would be thanked for suppressing it!
Thus, logically the uniforms should be vital to these operatives!
"The impostor may not be hiding in the crowd, but he’s definitely in the building, banking on us not being able to show up inside," Wu Liang slowly stated.
With the civilians inside losing control and acting irrationally, suddenly convinced officials were imprisoning them, resulting in inevitable conflict upon revealing themselves.
This cannot happen.
Thus, they had to find another way!
"We can’t go inside? Then how do we catch him?" chanic and Fla were puzzled.
Yet Wu Liang tilted his head, revealing a bright smile and said, "They think we’re imprisoning rather than protecting them, don’t believe outside is dangerous, want to return to the comrcial street?"
"Let’s let them out then!"
"Once out and getting hard, they deserved it! We’ve warned them; we’re responsible!"
Finishing, Wu Liang looked at the uniform on the chanic, pointing at it, saying, "Co on, buddy, take off the uniform and lend it to ."
The chanic watched as this guy asked him to strip, casually picked up a stick from the roadside.
His confusion only deepened.
"Shadow, you holding a stick is..."
Wu Liang weighed the stick in his hand, ensuring not to fatally hit a civilian, then casually said: "From now on, I’m the impostor, make so battle noise later, the bigger the better."
He grinned, showing white teeth, "Anyone daring to peek, I’ll whack them and drag to hide in the woods."
"I want that ’going out ans getting hard’ ntality drilled into everyone inside."
"And, any guy still trying to instigate others out in ten minutes has a problem!"
"My evaluation—put aside the desire to save, respect others’ destinies."
"Since they don’t want officials to block danger, let’s not block it for real!"
