As Bai Ye's voice faded, Gordon anxiously exited the office.
Gordon grabbed the walkie-talkie and said, "Anyone near the broadcast room, proceed to the broadcast room immediately for arrest. You must be armed. The target is a highly dangerous individual. The Special Operations Team will gather on the fifth floor where the broadcast room is located, blocking the stairwells to the left and right, as well as the elevator shafts and fire escapes."
Meanwhile...
Bai Ye put down the microphone, humming a tune as he stood up and opened the broadcast room door.
The instant the door opened, a revolver was pressed against Bai Ye's head.
"Don't move, hands..."
Bang, bang, bang...
Before the other party could finish speaking, Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand, grabbing the gun. The assailant instinctively pulled the trigger, but as Bai Ye lifted their arm, the bullets struck the ceiling.
In the next moment, Bai Ye grabbed the assailant's head and slammed it against the wall, instantly dazing them.
Bai Ye peeked into the corridor and then...
Bang!
From one side of the corridor, an agent fired a shot, hitting the adjacent wall.
Bai Ye retracted his head, drew the Bloodthirsty Saber from his waist, and held it to the unconscious man's throat. He then used the man as a shield and walked out of the broadcast room.
"Come on, shoot!" Bai Ye smiled. "If you intend to kill him, shoot now."
As he spoke, Bai Ye dragged the man backward.
Several agents dared not shoot carelessly, nor could they leave. They could only aim their guns at Bai Ye, advancing cautiously, keeping him in their sights.
At this moment...
Behind the agents, Gengar stealthily emerged halfway, raising its short arms high.
"Shadow Ball!"
With a powerful thrust, Gengar propelled the Shadow Ball forward.
Boom!
The moment the Shadow Ball hit the ground, a deafening explosion erupted.
The agents were instantly blown backward, and large cracks appeared on the wall, spreading outward.
Bai Ye abruptly pushed away the unconscious agent in front of him, spun around quickly, and in the process, lifted his shirt, drawing the Pulse Pistols from his waist.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...
Bai Ye pulled the trigger. Instantly, pale blue beams flashed through the air, striking the agents behind him and piercing their bodies repeatedly.
In the blink of an eye, only three bodies lay bleeding in front of Bai Ye.
Bai Ye took out a fruit and tossed it casually.
Gengar emerged from the ground beside Bai Ye and swallowed the fruit with its wide mouth.
Bai Ye smiled, patting Gengar's head. "Well done!"
Meanwhile...
The lobby!
After Bai Ye's voice vanished, the lobby descended into chaos and panic.
"I don't know, I don't know anything! I'm not a criminal, and I'm not an agent."
"I'm just here to process paperwork."
"Let us go, please, let us go..."
Some collapsed onto chairs, others wailed incessantly. In a flash, it became a complete mess.
Suddenly, a burly agent drew his pistol and turned to leave.
"Randolph, what are you doing?" Another agent immediately stepped forward, gun in hand, blocking Randolph's path. "Calm down, put the gun down!"
"What do I want to do? I want to kill those six bastards, of course," Randolph cursed. "Do you want everyone to be buried with six scumbags?"
"We understand your feelings, but there's no need for this. We still have time. Calm down, we'll find a solution. And don't forget who you are – you're an agent."
"Screw calm down, screw my identity!" Randolph cried, his face pale. "I just got married! You know, I just got married. I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Yes, they're just six criminals. What's wrong with killing them?"
"Aren't our lives as citizens more important?"
"Kill them, kill those six guys!"
"Do you know who I am? I am Lescott Rivett, CEO of PABANK. Do you know the consequences you'll face if I die? Do you know how much the Investigation Bureau's annual funding comes from PABANK?"
"Kill those six criminals for me. I'll take responsibility for everything afterwards. I'll hire the best lawyer and give him a million cash. No, two million!"
Many people around began to stir, even becoming incensed.
"What's all the noise!"
At this moment, Gordon appeared at the edge of the crowd, forcefully pushing people aside.
"What are you all shouting about?" Gordon roared. "Instead of arguing here, why not look for the bomb? Why not go arrest the people?"
Randolph gritted his teeth. "What if we find the bomb? The bomb squad can't get in, and the bomb is remotely detonated. It can be set off before it's defused!"
"What are you talking about? What are you saying?" Gordon reached out and shoved Randolph. "Look at what you're wearing on your chest – it's a badge! How can you say something like that?"
Randolph tore off his badge and yelled, "I quit!"
Gordon was fuming, but at this moment...
A young man suddenly darted out from the side, holding a pair of scissors from the desk and forcefully stabbing towards Gordon's lower back.
Thwack!
The scissors pierced his lower back, and blood immediately began to flow.
Gordon turned back in disbelief, seeing a distorted face.
The young man roared, "Live, live! I want to live! Whoever prevents me from killing those six bastards, I'll kill them..."
Amidst the roars, the surrounding agents quickly swarmed forward and pinned the young man to the ground.
Even so, the young man struggled and shouted, "Act! Everyone act! Do you all want to die here?"
Some began to stir, slowly moving their feet, intending to leave the lobby and head towards the holding cells.
Gordon clutched his wound, his face pale, and slumped onto a nearby chair, appearing utterly powerless.
Bai Ye stood at the corner of the corridor, looking at the chaotic crowd, and couldn't help but smile.
"Director Gordon, this is human nature," Bai Ye said with a smile, walking in the opposite direction. "I hope you will take to heart the lesson I've just taught you."
Bai Ye hummed a tune, walked out of the Investigation Bureau, and reached the edge of the wall. He nimbly flipped over and took out a remote control.
Boom, boom, boom!
Inside the Investigation Bureau, the sounds of explosions echoed continuously. Blazing flames spread, glass windows shattered, and countless shards of glass rained down from above, sparkling and translucent, yet fragile. As they fell, they pulverized.
Much like the human heart!
