Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1393 634: Guardianship_4

The suspect swung his arm and slapped Chuuni.

What kind of fighting style is this?

Chuuni leaned back to avoid the suspect's hand but got scratched on the cheek by his fingernail.

This injury was serious—Chuuni's cheek was leaking air.

He really used his nails!

Luckily, the opponent wasn't too skilled; otherwise, Chuuni would have surely lost his life.

Poor skills mean this person is likely not a Fighter.

Chuuni changed the magazine, ready to shoot again, as the suspect swung his palm, chopping at Chuuni's arm.

Chuuni quickly drew back his hand, dodging the arm but having his gun barrel chopped off.

This time, Chuuni finally saw through the suspect's Taoist Sect.

Blade Repairer!

Rifter!

The Rifter can use surrounding objects, and even parts of his own body, to create blades. No wonder he could break free from Preserved Fruit's net.

Dark Star Bureau has a Rifter named Geng Congyi, who once did missions with Li Qi.

Chuuni had seen his combat style and understood Rifter-related skills.

Geng Congyi can create blades out of thin air, even cutting off Craftsman Cultivation's control over tools. Can this suspect do that?

He can!

He released a flurry of invisible blades in the air, and with Martial Cultivator's instincts, Light Bulb dodged with all his might but still got hit twice.

Luckily, these two hits weren't vital, so Chuuni wasn't too affected. As the two wrestled, Light Bulb and Preserved Fruit rushed back into the room.

Light Bulb snatched away a hostage, the blade sliding close but not hurting him.

Preserved Fruit tried to get close again using the Binding Skill but got his right arm cut by a blade and had to retreat from the room again.

Light Bulb sneaked back in, rescuing another hostage.

The kidnapper threw a fireball at Light Bulb, and Chuuni rushed forward, whipping his coat to stir up a gale, deflecting the fireball and protecting Light Bulb.

Light Bulb escaped with the hostage; Chuuni's situation became dire.

Using clothes to fan, the big motions turned Chuuni into a living target in front of the Blade Repairer.

Two blades stabbed into his belly, one into his chest; Chuuni fought desperately, slicing the suspect's eye with a dagger. Light Bulb took the chance to rescue another child and pulled Chuuni out of the room.

Chuuni was covered in blood, collapsing against the wall.

Preserved Fruit had just asked Dark Star Bureau for help and immediately contacted an ambulance through the police.

Dark Star Bureau had no manpower left.

Even if manpower were available, they wouldn't make it in time to help.

Three out of six hostages were rescued, leaving a couple and a child unreleased.

The kidnapper roared loudly, "You're finished, you've angered me, I'm gonna burn them, I'll burn this little one first!"

He rubbed a fireball from his palm, picking up the child from the ground.

Light Bulb dared not rush in.

Preserved Fruit couldn't come up with a plan momentarily.

Chuuni stood up from the wall, pointing at the room, whispering, "I'll go, disperse the fire, you rescue the hostages."

His mouth was full of blood, making his speech slurred.

He was drenched in blood, barely able to stand.

Light Bulb held Chuuni back, "You just stay here, don't move..."

"Guard." Chuuni rushed into the room without any hesitation.

Preserved Fruit followed him inside.

Light Bulb gritted his teeth and charged in too.

The kidnapper clutched the fireball, and Light Bulb dared not use his technique, pulling the child's father towards the door.

Chuuni grabbed the kidnapper's wrist, fighting desperately; Preserved Fruit grabbed the child and brought them to the door.

Light Bulb rushed back into the room, grabbing the child's mother and fleeing.

The child's mother had weak legs and couldn't muster any strength.

Chuuni was stabbed multiple times, visibly unable to stand.

Light Bulb utilized his technique, dragging the child's mother sliding towards the exit.

Preserved Fruit rushed in for support; the kidnapper chopped Chuuni down with his hand, the fireball turning into a fire dragon that suddenly extinguished in his palm.

Li Banfeng was behind him, grabbing the kidnapper's head.

The kidnapper was in pain, his consciousness turning fuzzy, unable to use his technique.

Having emerged from Flower Lake Park, Li Banfeng received information—he got all the city's cases.

He came quickly into this neighborhood, flying into the room from outside the window.

The kidnapper was still struggling, Li Banfeng twisted his wrist, the kidnapper's skull emitting a cracking sound.

"Preserved Fruit, send Chuuni to the hospital, escort the hostages away!" Li Banfeng issued the order.

Preserved Fruit quickly carried Chuuni; Li Banfeng eyed the kidnapper and asked, "Who put you up to this?"

The kidnapper stayed silent, Li Banfeng applied more pressure, the skull cracking sound came again.

The kidnapper couldn't withstand the pain, painfully saying, "It's us..."

Just finished these three words, the kidnapper's body exploded on the spot.

Some things he couldn't reveal, Li Banfeng had seen this method before.

All civilization is fabricated; people at Snowflake Beach can't utter Du Wenming's name.

This event also ties back to Du Wenming, these many cases are likely masterminded by Du Wenming, or even led by higher-ups at Hundred Demons Workshop.

What is his ultimate goal?

Li Banfeng glanced at his phone again, all Dark Star Bureau's core members were deployed.

Was his target the Dark Star Bureau Building?

...

Dark Star Bureau, interrogation room, core member of Hundred Demons Workshop, Geng Shunxi refused to confess.

He's long unable to withstand the pressure from Judge's Vessel, edging close to a breakdown.

Several times he wanted to speak, but after scanning the interrogation team members, he chose silence again.

Shen Jingye picked up on something odd, asked everyone to leave the interrogation room, and shut down all surveillance equipment.

He approached Geng Shunxi, lowering his voice, "Do we have someone from your group in our bureau?"

Geng Shunxi stayed silent.

Shen Jingye continued, "Are you afraid to reveal the truth because they're going to kill you to silence you?"

Geng Shunxi whispered, "It's not just me they would kill, if the traitor among you leaks it, they will kill my entire family."

"Who are 'they'?"

"I can't say, saying means dying."

"They used curse techniques on you; there are names you can't utter, right?"

Geng Shunxi nodded.

"There must be something you can talk about. You're a core member; if you can't mention anything, what use are you?"

Geng Shunxi paused briefly, saying, "Our Hundred Demons Workshop has members globally..."

Shen Jingye shook his head, "I already know about that; it's just you and me here, tell me something I don't know. As long as it's valuable, I can guarantee your safety."

Geng Shunxi lowered his voice, saying, "We have a Controllable Magnetic Storm Weapon."

"What is that?"

"A weapon capable of destroying mass communication equipment temporarily; we've mastered this technology, our first target is Yuezhou."

PS: In chapter 261, Chuuni once said his purpose for joining Dark Star Bureau was to protect this world and everything important in it, and he succeeded.
