As Bai Ye's voice faded, Gordon hurried out of his office.
Gordon grabbed the intercom and said, "Anyone near the broadcast room, proceed to the broadcast room immediately for arrest. Arm yourselves. The target is a highly dangerous individual. The special task force will assemble on the fifth floor where the broadcast room is located. Seal off both adjacent stairwells, the elevator lobby, and the fire escape."
Meanwhile…
Bai Ye put down the microphone, humming a tune as he stood up and opened the door to the broadcast room.
The moment the door opened, a revolver was pressed against Bai Ye's head.
"Don't move, hands up…"
Bang, bang, bang…
Before the other person could finish speaking, Bai Ye swiftly raised his hand, grabbing the gun. The other person instinctively pulled the trigger, but as Bai Ye lifted their arm, the bullets hit the ceiling.
In the next instant, Bai Ye grabbed the person's head and slammed it against the wall, causing them to see stars.
Bai Ye peeked into the hallway, and then…
Bang!
From one side of the hallway, an agent fired, hitting the wall.
Bai Ye pulled his head back, drew the Bloodthirsty Blade from his waist, and held it to the unconscious man's neck. 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 recklessly, but they also did not dare to retreat. They could only advance, aiming their guns at Bai Ye, keeping him in their sights.
Just then…
From behind the agents, Gengar silently emerged halfway, then raised its short arms high.
"Shadow Ball!"
With a forceful push, Gengar sent the Shadow Ball forward.
Rumble!
The moment the Shadow Ball hit the ground, a deafening explosion erupted.
The agents were blown back, and large cracks appeared on the wall, spreading rapidly.
Bai Ye shoved the unconscious agent in front of him aside, quickly turned, and as he turned, he lifted his shirt and drew twin pulse guns from his waist.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…
Bai Ye pulled the trigger, and then, pale blue beams flashed through the air, hitting the agents behind him and piercing their bodies repeatedly.
In a blink of an eye, only three bodies lay bleeding in front of Bai Ye.
Bai Ye took out a fruit and casually tossed it.
Gengar emerged from the ground beside Bai Ye and swallowed the fruit with its large mouth.
Bai Ye smiled, patted Gengar's head, and said, "Well done!"
Meanwhile…
The lobby!
After Bai Ye's voice disappeared, the lobby instantly plunged 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 people collapsed onto chairs, others wailed incessantly. In no time, it was a complete mess.
Suddenly, a burly agent drew his handgun and turned to leave.
"Randolph, what are you doing?" Another agent immediately stepped forward, gun in hand, blocking Randolph. "Calm down and put your gun away!"
"What am I doing? Of course, I'm going to kill those six bastards," Randolph cursed. "Do you want everyone to be buried with six scumbags?"
"We understand how you feel, but there's no need for this. We still have time, calm down, and we'll figure something out. Don't forget who you are. You're an agent."
"To hell with calm, to hell with my identity." Randolph cried, "I just got married. You know, I just got married. I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"That's right, they're just six criminals. What's the big deal about 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 Rivet, CEO of Flowered Cloth Bank. Do you know the consequences you'll face if I die? Do you know how much of the investigation bureau's annual budget comes from Flowered Cloth Bank?"
"Kill those six criminals for me. I'll take responsibility for everything afterward. I'll hire him the best lawyer and give him a million dollars in cash. No, two million!"
Many people around began to clamor, even becoming incensed.
"What's all the noise?"
At this moment, Gordon appeared at the edge of the crowd, pushing people away forcefully.
"What are you all shouting about?" Gordon roared. "With this time, why not look for the bomb? Why not go catch the criminals!"
Randolph gritted his teeth. "What's the point of finding the bomb? The bomb disposal unit can't get in, and the bomb is remotely controlled. It can be detonated before it's even disarmed!"
"What are you saying? What are you talking about?" Gordon pushed Randolph. "Look at what's hanging on your chest. It's a badge! How dare you say something like that?"
Randolph ripped off his badge and shouted, "I quit!"
Gordon was furious, but at this moment…
A young man suddenly darted from the side, holding a pair of scissors from a desk, and plunged them forcefully into Gordon's lower back.
Squelch!
The scissors pierced his lower back, and blood immediately flowed out.
Gordon turned around in disbelief, seeing a ferocious face.
The young man roared, "Live, live! I want to live! Anyone who stops me from killing those six bastards, I'll kill them…"
Amidst his roars, the surrounding agents rushed forward and pinned the young man to the ground.
Even so, the young man struggled and shouted, "Attack! Everyone attack! Do you want to die here?"
Some people stirred, slowly moving their feet, intending to leave the lobby and head towards the holding cells.
Gordon clutched his wound, his face pale as he slumped onto a nearby chair, looking utterly powerless.
Bai Ye stood at the corner of the hallway, looking at the chaotic crowd, and couldn't help but smile.
"Director Gordon, this is human nature," Bai Ye said with a smile as he walked in the opposite direction. "I hope you will take this lesson I've taught you to heart."
Humming a tune, Bai Ye walked out of the investigation bureau, reached the perimeter wall, nimbly climbed over, and then pulled out a remote control.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Inside the investigation bureau, explosions sounded consecutively. Scorching flames spread, glass windows shattered continuously, and countless shards of glass rained down, sparkling and translucent, yet fragile, shattering completely as they fell.
Much like the human heart!
