Following Yang Ming’s gaze, a few citizens of the Guel Alliance walked by with large heads, thick necks, and webbed feet. They were kind and lawful tourists.
A tall, thin old man sat on a floating bench, wearing an ordinary shirt, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
Yang Ming raised his hand to straighten his collar and said in a deep voice, "Mark him, send a message to Captain Catherine immediately, and tell them it’s best to evacuate right away. The bomb in his body might be in an unrestricted state."
Lyu responded quickly.
Yang Ming put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked toward the old man.
The sense of danger grew stronger.
It seemed like a danger that could harm his dermal layer.
Yang Ming seemed to see the old man transform into a fireball explosion, and within a range of hundreds of meters, there were too many innocent civilians.
"Sir?" Yang Ming spoke gently, "Are you waiting for family? I see you’ve been sitting here for quite a while. Is there anything I can help you with?"
The old man looked up at Yang Ming in some surprise, squeezed out a faint smile, and gently shook his head.
"I’m fine, young man."
Yang Ming took the opportunity to sit down beside him, his mind racing as he calmly said, "There are really too many people at the Fire Suppression Festival, I want to find a quiet place to rest too. Did you come here alone, sir?"
"Yes," the old man sighed softly.
His gaze was initially somewhat wary, as if realizing something, his eyes gradually returned to tranquility.
The old man whispered, "Young man, leave this place, go somewhere farther, something unfortunate will happen here."
"Yes, unfortunate, like the misfortune that befell my family," the old man sighed lightly.
The warship cutting across the sky, the ion beam tearing open the blue sky, the light bullets bombing the ground, and the limbs remaining at the crater’s bottom...
Yang Ming whispered, "There are many tourists here who are non-Empire citizens."
The old man glanced at Yang Ming, "How did you see through me?"
"Instinct," Yang Ming replied, "Your eyes betrayed you... Is it a bioweapon bomb connected to your heartbeat?"
"Are you an Empire soldier?"
"I am a detective," Yang Ming said, "I don’t know what kind of tragedy has happened to you, but I can’t endorse this method. They are all innocent civilians."
"There is no such thing as innocence in this world."
The old man raised his hand to hold Yang Ming’s hand, lightly patting it, and softly said,
"Thank you for talking to me at this moment, daring to persuade me even after seeing through me. You must be a good person. Leave, the effective kill distance is sixty meters."
Around them appeared two squads of Mechanical Guards, and plainclothes officers were clearing shadows from the park.
Yang Ming instinctively clenched his fist, but Lyu reminded in time that the limitation of the old man’s actions might also be one of the conditions for triggering the bioweapon bomb in his body.
Suddenly a light bullet flickered in the corner.
A charred blood hole appeared on the old man’s forehead, and his body slowly leaned backward. A burst of flames erupted from his chest, but before the flames could expand, a few spheres shot over, opening several Protection Shields, enveloping the old man’s body.
The ground gently trembled, a scarlet flame shot straight into the sky, and the energy from the explosion did not spread outward.
Yang Ming shook his head and stood up, strolling towards the distance. Firearms locked onto his silhouette, only to quickly cancel the aim.
"Lyu, can you find out how many human bombs are hiding in this city?"
"Boss, they seem to want more than just to cause chaos with the White Ghost parade, that appears to be a guise," Lyu reminded, "We have already intervened too deeply and could easily expose our own information."
"Investigate first..."
Yang Ming suddenly looked up at the front.
From the gap in the steel jungle came a flash of light, a bright red fire cloud surged towards the sky, and shockwaves erupted and ravaged the city.
Almost simultaneously, one fire cloud after another rose into the air, and sharp alarms rang out over the city.
