“What?
Red appeared?”
At that same moment, Chao Wu, who had just fallen asleep, abruptly sat up in bed.
“I understand, I’ll go rendezvous.
Share the location with me.”
Chao Wu quickly threw on her clothes and prepared to leave the hotel.
Just as she stepped out of her room, she frowned.
Chao Wu raised a single hand, and a small, butterfly-like spirit with transparent wings appeared.
She signaled for this pet beast to remain quiet, then walked over to the door of Chi Hong’s room and waved her hand.
This small, butterfly-like pet beast fluttered its little claws, and the wall in front of them suddenly became transparent.
Meowth was sleeping soundly, and Chi Hong was sleeping too.
Mightyena was lying at the foot of the bed.
There were no issues whatsoever.
“Spirit Butterfly, use True Sight.” Chao Wu was still uneased.
If this Chi Hong was truly Red, then her younger sister…
She was very worried.
Upon hearing the command, the Spirit Butterfly’s compound eyes flickered with white light as it stared fixedly at Chi Hong.
“How is it?
Is he truly there?”
Chao Wu asked.
The Spirit Butterfly nodded its small head.
It didn’t spot any abnormalities; he was indeed truly there.
However, it was merely a pillow.
The pillow was a genuine pillow; it could be certain of that much.
This Spirit Butterfly completely failed to grasp the core of Chao Wu’s question!
Furthermore, it made absolutely no effort to explain the fact that what it saw was a pillow.
It could be said that the two parties lacked any mutual understanding whatsoever…
“I was overthinking it…”
“But to dare kill someone right in front of law enforcers, this Red is truly quite a headache.”
Chao Wu shook her head, stopped dwelling on it, and swiftly departed the hotel.
Jinling City, Dawu District, a certain elementary school teachers’ dormitory building.
A balding, middle-aged man’s neck had been snapped.
Strangely enough, the primary scene was actually discovered by law enforcers!
Looking at the corpse before him, Meng Yi’s face was ashen.
They had lost him again.
By the time they realized something was wrong, this teacher had already fallen victim!
“After him!”
“He definitely hasn’t gone far!”
Meng Yi gritted his teeth and said.
At this moment, not far from the school, Chi Hong looked at his phone and said, “Threatening elementary school students?
Then who the fuck deserves to die if not you?”
The nearby Lucario made no sound, merely giving a cool nod.
This ‘Justified’ was practically an unsolvable, divine skill for judging whether a person was evil or not!
No filth or decay could escape Lucario’s Justified.
This could already be considered a bugged skill; it was no longer constrained to merely raising its own stats when hit by a Dark-type attack.
That was too one-sided.
Regarding Justified, there weren’t many displays of it in the anime either; Chi Hong only remembered Arcanine showcasing it once.
“Siaa-awoo…”
Zoroark poked Chi Hong and looked in a certain direction.
“Oh?
Still chasing me?
I’ll run you in circles!”
“Zoroark!”
Chi Hong looked at Zoroark.
Zoroark let out a sinister chuckle, extended a claw, and transformed Chi Hong into a middle-aged man.
Chi Hong simply swaggered directly toward the direction of the law enforcement team.
Meanwhile, he recalled Zoroark and Lucario.
Soon, he ran into Meng Yi and the others.
The two parties were about to brush past each other.
“Halt!”
Meng Yi suddenly frowned and turned his face to look at this man who appeared to have just gotten off work.
“What’s wrong?”
The man turned around, a look of bewilderment on his face.
“…”
“Nothing.”
Meng Yi shook his head, paid him no more mind, and continued walking forward.
However, after taking just a few steps, he felt something was amiss.
That man…
His expression was far too calm!
Their group was wearing law enforcement uniforms!
Being stopped by a team of law enforcers at night, and still remaining completely calm, leaving without the slightest change in expression?
Shouldn’t he have asked what was going on?
By the time he realized this, Chi Hong was already nowhere to be seen.
“This is bad, his pet beast definitely possesses a skill similar to ‘Camouflage’!”
“Turn back!
Chase him back!”
Meng Yi gritted his teeth and shouted.
The pursuit continued.
About an hour and a half later, in a certain residential building, a man with a face full of savage flesh and reeking of alcohol died on his own bed.
There were also two delirious female university students in the room, along with a mess of equipment and an unknown white powder.
“….”
“Take those two women to the rehab center.”
Meng Yi’s face grew darker and darker.
“Captain Meng, this guy is an addict.
The stuff in this room is enough for him to consume ten Purple Eggs!”
“Is this Red playing the vigilante?
Or is he resentful of our incompetence, blaming us law enforcers for failing to do our duty?”
Behind Meng Yi, a girl wearing glasses pinched her small chin and deduced.
She hadn’t joined the law enforcement department long ago; she was a complete rookie.
“Talk less, work more.”
“When I catch Red later, you can personally ask him what exactly he was thinking.”
Meng Yi turned around, glared fiercely at the girl, pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, and left while smoking.
At this moment, on the rooftop of a residential building in this complex, Chi Hong was scrolling through his phone.
He realized he had talked big a bit too early.
Although they were all in the same district, this district was huge!
With the time he had, it was completely insufficient to deal with all of them.
He had only dealt with two, and it had taken him roughly 4 hours.
“I’ll owe them for now?”
“That’s the only way.
Doing a side hustle can’t delay my schooling!”
“On the way back, I’ll take care of this one first…”
“This one is interesting…”
Chi Hong’s gaze locked onto a specific dossier.
Wang Dong, law enforcer, member of the 4th Squad led by Chao Wu.
Uses his position to run errands for big shots.
According to information provided by the assassin organization intermediary, Number 73, Wang Dong directly or indirectly caused the deaths of dozens of ordinary citizens.
Because they were all ordinary people and not Beast Tamers, the matters were all ultimately left unresolved.
The big shots were not affected in the slightest.
Nor would anyone investigate a Beast Tamer over the lives of a few ordinary people, let alone a law enforcer.
In reality, absolutely no one would suspect him.
“This assassin organization is really something; their intel is this clear?”
“But the clearer it is, the more amiss it feels.
This is inherently a dark organization; intelligence and the like should definitely be as simple as possible.
An address, a photo, and whether they possess the strength of a Beast Tamer should be enough.”
“Perhaps none of this intelligence has withstood scrutiny…”
“Whatever the client says, that’s what gets written down.”
“Fortunately, I have Lucario.”
Chi Hong looked at Lucario, and Lucario nodded at him.
“Then for now, I’ll start pinpointing Chao Wu’s location.
After all, the assassin Red has appeared, and as a law enforcement captain who has had contact with Red, there’s no reason for her not to be out on a mission.”
“I’ll move toward the hotel where I’m staying.
Hopefully, I’ll run into her halfway.”
Having made up his mind, Chi Hong jumped directly off the rooftop.
Lucario leaped down close behind, grabbing Chi Hong mid-air…
