"Don't worry, your sister should still have a chance to get out! And I've never blamed you; it was already difficult enough for you to make the right choice in this situation. Yu Ning, you are a woman of integrity and broadmindedness!"
"I've also been to see her at the detention center recently. Thank you. We might be the last descendants of the Ci Men. If we are no longer here, perhaps there will be no assassins in this world."
"That won't happen. He Xin, or perhaps Dao Zhi Yong, Dao Tian Xing..."
"Dad, don't drag me into this. Didn't Dao Zhi Yong learn a lot already? Another assassin? Oh my god, do you think he's a computer? Can he learn everything just by digging into some data?"
"Haha, just kidding. We'll talk about it later, Yu Ning! Let's keep moving! You can tell us more about your assassin stories when you have time, and I'll tell you other stories about us forensic investigators!"
As we were talking, He Jing Hui suddenly warned, "Keep your voices down, there seems to be footsteps nearby!"
At that moment, I thought I must have misheard. However, through a wall, we could indeed hear distinct footsteps, *pat-pat-pat*, from the next room. But Huan He Feng quickly reacted, "No, those are manufactured noises by the boss, fake. I've been here before. Although only three times, I was startled every time I passed this place. Later, I realized there were small speakers above, and those were sound effects."
"Point out the location of the speakers!" I ordered. Huan He Feng looked up and pointed, and we fired in that direction. After the *bang-bang* of gunshots, quite a few speakers fell down. I looked at Huan He Feng, "Kid, you'll have to lead the way from now on!"
"Understood. Officers, I won't betray you. I've already decided to surrender!"
"I hope you're not lying to us!" Liu Yu Ning said sternly.
Huan He Feng smiled sheepishly, "Of course not. Didn't you promise me a lighter sentence?"
"Don't worry, you'll definitely get a light sentence!" I guaranteed. Huan He Feng hurried forward. Following him were He Jing Hui and He Bai Ling, standing behind Huan He Feng. This way, if Huan He Feng did anything suspicious, they could react immediately.
The path ahead gradually opened up. We all thought this meant we were nearing the end of this area. However, upon reaching a certain exit, we found ourselves in many open spaces, independently divided into numerous platforms. At that moment, except for Dao Zhi Yong, everyone else had caught up with me. We were all discussing what to do. We couldn't possibly explore all these places. Looking at the high platforms, even if we could jump up, not everyone could make it.
In the police force, only our Crime Punishment Team had grappling hooks. So, I quickly made a decision, "Sister, He Jing Hui, give us a hand. We'll go up first."
"Okay!"
A few of us used grappling hooks to reach the nearest platform and then proceeded forward. I didn't know when the others would catch up, but we couldn't wait. We had to press on; the matter of arrest couldn't be delayed by even half a second, or the criminals might escape at any moment.
Huan He Feng moved at lightning speed, leading the way ahead of us. He had been carried up by Xiao Yuan De. He looked back and praised, "You truly are a special police team. This equipment is already at the level of special agents."
"Heh, different mission types require different equipment. Moreover, the requirements for our team are much higher than for regular detectives. You need great skills to get in," I replied.
"Officer He, you've made me somewhat... want to join. Sigh, if only for my current status..."
"Don't joke around. Hurry up. If you help catch Dang Feng Yu, you can atone for your crimes."
"Yes, Government!" Huan He Feng became even more proactive and continued to lead. After some time, we passed through a passage resembling a skybridge. We saw instruments densely packed with wires crisscrossing, and a dense series of beeping sounds was transmitted continuously. Above, many camera-like instruments rotated around, and beams of red light were cast onto us, moving around on the ground before hitting the walls. I noticed that these walls had many cracks, but they weren't fixed. They were actually contracting and expanding slightly. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't notice at all.
Later, Gao Ming Qiang and Liu Yu Ning also noticed. Ming Qiang said, "This reminds me of the design in that old excitement tourist zone."
"It's probably the Silent Tourist Zone. This isn't surprising, after all, Du Qi Tai was part of the organization."
"So, Yu Ning, Dang Feng Yu is probably also..."
"Whether he is or not, we'll know once we catch him. But I suspect it's almost certain." As the three of us were talking, we suddenly noticed movement not far away. Before us was an indoor beach!
A door opened directly without us touching it. We were all quite stunned, not knowing what was happening.
But after entering a large door and seeing the densely packed area, with countless sand particles under our feet, I realized something was wrong.
Indeed, a second later, countless red lights lit up around us. A giant screen in the center displayed countless words: "Hello, police officers. Sorry, you might have arrived after I've already escaped. Heh, I said *might*, but it doesn't matter. You really want to find that old man, don't you? He hasn't left yet, and I've imprisoned him here in a special way. If you continue to pursue me, you won't have time to save him, so make your choice. Don't worry, I'm not a Guizai person, nor am I from Polaris. You might be curious how I know about these two organizations? Don't worry, I won't tell you. I'm leaving! I know you'll definitely choose to save him, or maybe you'll split some people to continue chasing me, but it's useless, because you won't be able to get out!"
The text on the screen was in distorted red font. Although a bit difficult to read, Su Ya Xin, being here, quickly analyzed it. I thought if Monkey were here, his speed would probably be even faster.
But it doesn't matter. I cursed and said, "Everyone, search for the person first. Otherwise, the old man will be in great danger!"
"Understood!" Everyone searched everywhere. But there was so much sand here, and the area was particularly vast, making it difficult to find the old man quickly. Just as we were struggling, strange noises came from around us: "Ahem, police officers, I can hear you. Help!"
"Old man? Where are you?" I didn't know how he managed to transmit his voice through the sound system here. The sound was very loud, as if some tremendous noise was being broadcast live.
