Mei Li frowned and stepped into the room. Smelling the foul odor in the air, she blocked her sense of smell...
After taking only a couple of steps inside, Mei Li's gaze fell upon a slightly loose wooden board.
"Host, be careful! That person is under this wooden board, and he's holding a knife!"
Hearing the system's words, Mei Li narrowed her eyes dangerously. In the next second, a large iron hammer suddenly appeared out of nowhere and smashed directly down onto the wooden board.
"Bang—"
"Crack—"
After a loud crash, the fragile wooden board was directly broken by the large iron hammer.
Splintered wood shards shot towards the man below in the cellar, some even piercing his eyes.
"Ah—"
The gleaming knife in his hand clattered to the ground.
The man cried out in pain, clutching his injured eyes. Blood flowed through his fingers and dripped onto the ground...
Hearing the man's scream, Mei Li raised an eyebrow and, carrying her large iron hammer, jumped directly into the cellar.
Seeing this, the scruffy man's other good eye flashed with ferocity. Seizing an unguarded moment, he instantly bent down, picked up the knife from the ground, and lunged towards Mei Li!
Mei Li reacted instantly, hitting him with a hammer. The man slammed hard onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and was immediately subdued.
Seeing this, Mei Li raised an eyebrow. Recalling the female voice she had heard earlier, she turned around and saw, in a pile of weeds not far away, a disheveled woman chained like a dog. As their eyes met, the woman visibly flinched, her beautiful eyes filled with fear.
Mei Li frowned and said lightly, "I'm not a bad person."
Upon hearing this, the woman trembled violently, her eyes widening with even greater terror.
Mei Li's lips twitched slightly. She intended to go over and untie the chain around the woman's neck, but as she made a move to approach, the woman instantly began to scream, "No! Don't come near me! I beg you! Don't hit me! Ahhhh! There's a ghost!"
Mei Li, "..."
After a moment of silence, Mei Li spoke to the system in her mind, "Call the police."
The system nodded and quickly reported the incident.
Soon, more than a dozen police cars stopped outside the small alleyway...
From the police cars, fully armed officers with guns entered the alley.
They had barely taken a few steps when they heard panicked screams.
Instantly, everyone became alert.
A group of police officers quickly found the small hut.
Cautiously entering, the officers saw several entrances in the corner of the room. The terrified screams were coming from within those entrances.
At this moment, in the cellar, Mei Li raised an eyebrow, hearing faint footsteps from above.
System, "Host, the police have arrived."
Mei Li nodded and said, "It's all handled, you can come down."
Hearing this, the police were stunned. One officer, recognizing the familiar voice, breathed a sigh of relief, signaled to the others, and was the first to jump down.
Upon clearly seeing the scene below, the officer's pupils snapped wide.
Seeing Mei Li unharmed, the officer relaxed and immediately asked sternly, "Young lady, what are you doing here? Don't you know this place is dangerous!"
Mei Li stated the truth, "I'm apprehending someone. See, I caught him."
As she spoke, Mei Li kicked the man lying on the ground like a dead dog and looked at the officer, her gaze clearly asking, "Well? Impressed?"
Police officer, "..."
"Nonsense!" At this moment, another officer who had jumped down spoke disapprovingly, "This is a murderer! How can a young girl like you be so daring! What if something happened!"
Mei Li paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "He couldn't beat me."
The officer sputtered, "But he had a knife! What if he had hurt you!"
Mei Li glanced at the large iron hammer in her hand, her eyes clearly conveying, I have a hammer, so he still couldn't beat me.
Police officer, "..."
The officer's mouth twitched, and he quickly changed the subject, "Where did you get that hammer? You're just a young girl, why are you carrying that? It's so dangerous! What if you hurt yourself?!"
Mei Li, "..."
Large iron hammer, "..."
