"Mr. ! How come you are here!"

Chasing Wind was greatly shocked, never expecting that the place he used a supernatural object to escape to would be right in front of Mr. .

At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Why didn't Mr. give them a heads-up about the official raid on the ?

Even though the other party had become the Zodiac Monkey, could he not have known this piece of intelligence?

But Wu Liang pulled him up from the ground with one hand, speaking regretfully, "I was just about to notify you to escape. The official action was simply too swift, and coincidentally, I was severely injured from the previous battle with the ".

"To avoid worsening my injury, they didn't inform me about this operation."

"Who could've thought that the officials' goodwill would result in me being unable to notify you in time! Truly hateful!"

After saying this, Wu Liang "inadvertently" swept aside the hem of his coat, letting Chasing Wind see his waist and entire chest wrapped in white bandages, with a faint smell of ointment.

In Chasing Wind's shocked gaze, he even noticed the bandages on the side of Wu Liang's waist gradually turning red, as if the wound was tearing and bleeding out terrifyingly.

The current Wu Liang looked like he knew their was in trouble, persistently leaving the treatment room despite his injuries to heroically hold up his body.

"Mr. ! How could you get such injuries..." Chasing Wind distinctly remembered seeing on the news that after the fight with the , the other party didn't seem to suffer serious injuries.

Even his last speech was filled with vigor, how did he suddenly become like this?

"Cough, cough, cough... I was putting on an act earlier, after all, as an 'official hero' and 'supernatural calamity', I couldn't collapse on camera! You know the , his abilities aren't that simple..."

As Wu Liang spoke, he suddenly coughed violently.

Looking down, he saw some blood stains had appeared in his palm, his entire momentum becoming much more dispirited again.

But he merely took a tissue from his pocket and wiped it away carelessly, then pulled Chasing Wind over and said, "My injuries aren't important, the urgent matter now is to quickly get the others to retreat!"

Seeing him like this, still worrying about his companions, Chasing Wind couldn't help but get teary-eyed.

What a damned !

Compared to Mr. , he was just a ruthless beast!

This is the true supernatural calamity with flesh and blood who will lead us to the ultimate glory!

"Yes! Where are we going now?" Chasing Wind asked.

"We'll split up and contact the companions in other bases, then have them retreat to a place the officials couldn't possibly know about. We'll meet up with them later!" Wu Liang's gaze was exceptionally firm.

After laying out the plan, he pulled out a phone that looked like a product from the last century from his pocket.

Chasing Wind looked at the huge phone handed to him, a bit puzzled: "What's this?"

"A special supernatural object. Using it to make calls can evade official methods, since the officials are currently in action. Normal communication devices probably can't get the message across successfully. My contact details are on the back of the phone." Wu Liang said confidently.

With such thorough preparation, Chasing Wind couldn't help but trust Mr. even more.

Stuffing the phone into his pocket, Chasing Wind bade farewell to Wu Liang and used a supernatural object to quickly escape the city.

He felt like he was in a race against time!

If he could notify a companion just a second earlier, maybe one less person would die under the official crackdown!

Watching Chasing Wind's disappearing figure, Wu Liang's dispirited momentum gradually returned to normal. He stretched lazily and murmured to himself: "Nightmare, where is the next 'breakout' person?"

The Nightmare Mask on his face emitted a faint purplish-red glow, and a thought echoed in Wu Liang's mind moments later—"Boss, in the neighboring Jinnan City."

After receiving the Nightmare's response, Wu Liang turned around and opened the door of an old taxi that happened to be parked next to him.

He sat inside without hesitation, heading to the next target location to deceive.

That's right! All those who seemed to break out successfully from the official clearance and raids but were actually deliberately released by the Zodiac Pig and others would encounter Wu Liang.

And then be deceived by the story he told to Chasing Wind to notify other companions...

......

......

"Why did we specifically let one person go? We could clearly have stopped him," Sister Yang asked the Zodiac Pig with a frown.

Behind her stood several spirit puppets with vacant eyes, each being cuffed with specially made handcuffs.

But more were members of the lying on the ground with no signs of life.

After all, this mission wasn't about capture, but clearance.

They would catch whoever they could, but there would be no mercy for those they couldn't catch—it was enough to kill them on the spot. None of these people were worthy of sympathy, each with blood on their hands, deserving death a thousand times over.

"Hah, it's just Wu Liang's trick, do you remember I went to see him once before we set off?" Zodiac Pig said while packing the supernatural objects on the ground.

"What did you talk about? This trick?"

"I asked him back then why he had to let the target go, and he didn't answer directly but asked me a very peculiar question."

Saying this, Zodiac Pig placed the supernatural objects into a specially made briefcase and handed it to the arriving Awakened for handover.

Turning to look at Sister Yang's eyes, he said earnestly, "He asked—if you bear a deep-seated vendetta and finally find a chance to annihilate your rival's entire family."

"When you've killed nearly everyone in the opponent's home, you suddenly discover a child hiding in the cellar. They look at you with curious eyes, what would you do?"

Facing the Zodiac Pig's question, Sister Yang only thought for a moment before saying, "I think I would still make a move. After all, our premise is carrying a deep vendetta, leaving such a witness could lead to future revenge using the same means."

Hearing this, Zodiac Pig couldn't help but tilt his head back in laughter, even shedding a few tears from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing him unable to hold back his laughter, Sister Yang couldn't help but ask, "Why are you laughing? Isn't that correct?"

"Correct, correct! That thinking isn't wrong, I told Wu Liang the same thing back then." Zodiac Pig turned his gaze to the pile of bodies behind him.

"So how did Wu Liang respond?" Sister Yang was curious about how that peculiarly-minded guy would act.

Given her understanding of Wu Liang, this brat shouldn't be soft-hearted, right?

Speaking of Wu Liang's response, Zodiac Pig's eyes suddenly turned helpless, speaking with some emotion, "He not only planned to let that child go but also intended to give the child money for leaving, ensuring the kid that he wouldn't be killed."

"Ah? How could..."

Before Sister Yang could finish her shock, Zodiac Pig continued, "The brat's reasoning was—I would love to see whether the kid takes the money to someone I hadn't rooted out, wiping them out completely!"

"What an unscrupulous scheme..."
