Li Qianqiao’s sudden, dramatic shout shattered the heavy tension at the scene.
Both Bringer and Sarah exchanged looks of absolute bewilderment, completely failing to understand what on earth Li Qianqiao was screaming about.
“What?! What did Brother Li just yell?!” Hearing Li Qianqiao’s voice from a distance, Billy frantically looked around.
“What the heck is an Auto Vajin?”
Vroooom—
The deafening roar of an engine erupted from right behind Billy.
Everyone who heard the commotion immediately whipped their heads in that direction.
They saw Li Qianqiao’s motorcycle, which had been parked quietly a moment ago, suddenly roar to life on its own.
The wheels spun aggressively, generating thick plumes of white smoke from the intense friction against the pavement.
“W-What’s going on?! Did that bike gain sentience?!” Billy was so terrified he scrambled backward, hiding behind Anby with a face full of absolute panic.
Anby, however, remained incredibly calm.
Her eyes practically sparkled as she stared at the Auto Vajin, “No, this must be a highly advanced smart device. Little Li’s call just now is what activated it.”
“I’ve seen vehicles like this before. They have a very specific name—Transformers!” Anby said.
Billy covered his face with his hand.
“Anby, that’s only in the movies. Besides, those were aliens, right? Look at it…”
Billy nervously stepped in front of the Auto Vajin.
Just as he was about to cautiously pat the front of the bike, the throttle twisted itself without warning.
“Hey, ignore the bike! We need to figure out how to save him first—”
“UWAAAHHH—!”
Before Nicole could even finish reprimanding them, Billy was run completely over.
After flattening the cyborg, the Auto Vajin blasted off at blinding speeds toward Li Qianqiao’s location.
“Ahhh—my handsome face! What is wrong with that bike?!” Billy wailed, clutching his face on the ground.
“Look, guys! The motorcycle is actually transforming!”
Following Nekomata’s pointing finger, everyone watched in awe as the Auto Vajin shifted mid-air.
The fully transformed Auto Vajin stood roughly two meters tall.
Its design was incredibly cool and sleek, radiating a raw, mechanical power that made anyone looking at it feel incredibly safe!
“No way! It really is an alien?!”
But the only answer Billy got was a face full of exhaust fumes.
“So, is this your version of a cry for help?” Sarah mocked.
After a brief silence, Sarah looked at him with mock pity, while Bringer laughed mockingly, “Hahaha! Are you really this naive? You’re completely surrounded. Who do you think is going to come save you? The aliens? Hahaha!”
Faced with Bringer’s ridicule, Li Qianqiao completely ignored it, only letting out a few cold chuckles.
Li Qianqiao’s nonchalant attitude instantly infuriated Bringer.
In his daily life, no one ever dared to dismiss him like this!
Bringer turned his head to Sarah.
“You should go first. It’s not good for you to be exposed in public like this. Someone will come to pick you up. Leave this punk to me.”
Sarah didn’t say a word.
She simply gave a slow nod and gracefully departed.
After Sarah’s figure disappeared, the smoke screen finally dissipated completely.
Now, Li Qianqiao was fully exposed to the gaze of hundreds of people at the scene, surrounded by countless floodlights, camera lenses, and the barrels of dozens of guns.
From the moment her helicopter had arrived, Koleda had been watching this massive spectacle unfold.
“Hey, Big Ben, why did Public Security dispatch so much firepower today?”
Ben scratched his head, pulling out a tablet and handing it to Koleda.
“Boss, this news broke just a little while ago. It seems they’re surrounding some highly wanted criminal.”
“Oh~? Who is it? Let me see!” Grace aggressively squeezed past Koleda, snatching the tablet right out of Ben’s massive hands.
Koleda’s face was suddenly bounced aside by Grace’s massive ‘assets’.
Fury immediately ignited in Koleda’s eyes, “Grace! What’s the rush?! Didn’t you see I was holding it first?!”
“Oh, come on, little one. I just want to take a peek, just a little peek…” Grace completely ignored Koleda’s angry shouting.
She was genuinely curious as to why Public Security was willing to expend such a massive amount of manpower to catch one single fugitive.
But the moment her eyes fell on the screen, she was instantly captivated.
“Hey, Grace, are you done looking yet? Hey! Grace?!” Seeing Grace completely unresponsive, Koleda called her name a few more times, but to no avail.
“Boss…” Ben gently pulled Koleda aside, whispering fearfully into her ear, “Grace… I think she’s entered that state again…”
“What?”
Before Koleda could even process what Ben meant, Grace let out an ear-piercing shriek of absolute joy.
“Oh my goodness! Look at these metallic lines! Look at this unique surface texture! This is absolutely an alloy I have never seen before!”
Grace stared unblinkingly at the picture of the Faiz armor on the tablet.
Her face was flushed crimson, and a faint trail of drool was practically forming at the corner of her mouth.
“And look at this chest armor! Although it’s just two thick plates, with my years of experience, I can guarantee the core components are hidden right underneath! There could be hundreds of intricate, precision parts in there! I want to take it apart so badly~!”
Ben instinctively shrank his massive, hulking frame.
Looking at Grace’s manic state, his bear face was filled with sheer terror.
“B-Boss, I’m a little scared…”
Koleda’s mouth twitched.
Compared to her usual mechanical obsessions, Grace seemed ten times more unstable this time.
“Yo, Big Ben! And Boss too! Hmm? What’s wrong with Grace?” Seeing the group huddled together, Anton ran over curiously.
Koleda waved her hand dismissively, saying it was nothing.
Anton scratched his head, not pushing the issue.
Then, with a look of immense excitement, he pointed toward Li Qianqiao’s location.
“Oh, right! The Public Security officers over there seem to be in the middle of a massive arrest, so I went to check it out. A whole squad of guys has surrounded some dude wearing an incredibly cool suit of armor! Sigh, it’s such a shame. I really want to try wearing it too.”
Anton had barely finished his sigh when Grace suddenly seized his arm, an intense, blinding light practically shooting out of her eyes.
“What did you say?! Where is he?!”
“Uh, right… over there.”
Grace’s grip strength was terrifying.
Wincing from the pain, Anton silently pointed in the direction of the encirclement.
Having obtained the necessary intel, Grace abandoned everyone and sprinted toward the surrounded crowd with frightening speed.
“Boss, Grace is…”
“What are you standing around for?! After her!”
“Right!”
Ben immediately broke into a run to follow her.
Anton looked completely bewildered but quickly ran after them as well.
They arrived just as the smoke cleared.
Bringer’s face was completely dark.
“Hmph~ Since you refuse to cooperate, you’ll just have to die right here.” Li Qianqiao sneered.
“Is that right?”
“You are so stubborn even at death’s door! Prepare to fir—”
Rat-tat-tat-tat—
A frantic burst of gunfire suddenly shattered the standoff.
Bringer frantically looked around.
“Who was that?! Who fired without my orders?!”
An officer ran up in an absolute panic to report, “R-Reporting to Officer Bringer! It-It’s… It’s…”
“It’s what?! Spit it out!” Bringer demanded.
“It’s a giant robot! Our men can’t hold it back!”
As the words left his mouth, a series of pained screams erupted from one side of the encirclement.
Everyone watched in horror as a towering figure charged forward, completely ignoring the concentrated hail of bullets!
Bullets ricocheted endlessly off the Auto Vajin’s armor without leaving a single scratch.
To make matters worse, the Auto Vajin was actively suppressing them, returning fire using the Gatling gun built into its front wheel!
“No… this is impossible…” Bringer felt absolutely miserable.
It was the same feeling as confidently writing down the answers to an exam, only to realize after handing it in that you forgot to write your name.
Ignoring the heavy crossfire, the Auto Vajin successfully breached the encirclement, planting itself firmly in front of Li Qianqiao and using its durable chassis to shield him from the remaining gunfire.
“Good horse! Hold them off for a second!”
Li Qianqiao drew the Faiz Phone and quickly punched in a command code.
1 — 0 — 6
BURST MODE!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Li Qianqiao instantly emptied all 12 rounds in a devastating barrage.
Under the overwhelming shockwaves of the explosions, almost all of the surrounding officers lost their ability to fight.
Bringer was now sprawled on the ground, completely covered in dirt and soot.
His face was charred black, and his eyes were wide with total disbelief.
Li Qianqiao walked up to Bringer, looking down at him from above with a terrifyingly calm expression.
“W-What do you want?! I’m warning you, if you dare touch me, you’ll pay dearly for it!!” Bringer scrambled backward in a pathetic display as he felt the immense, oppressive pressure radiating off Li Qianqiao.
“Relax, I’m not that evil~” Li Qianqiao flashed a wicked smile, he cracked his knuckles and assumed a martial arts stance.
“Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl!”
“You—AARGHHH!”
“Crow Taking Flight!”
“AHHHHH!”
“Immortal Plucking Grapes!”
“YEEEEOOOOW!”
“Tornado Destroys the Parking Lot!”
