Li Ang nodded. "Long time no see."

"Ahem,"

Xing Hechou coughed, a little embarrassed. "Didn't expect to meet in this situation."

"It was bound to happen, wasn't it?"

Li Ang was exceptionally calm, saying quietly, "The Special Affairs Bureau can never suppress its tendency and desire to collect all information and control the overall situation.

As technology advances and authority increases,

all lone wolf players will eventually be found and locked down."

"...It can't be helped. Ordinary people are too fragile compared to transcendents."

Xing Hechou sighed. "Any transcendent, even the lowest-level and weakest, can cause unimaginable damage to social order.

Especially during the early days of the Killing Game, when the Special Affairs Bureau was just starting out,

we suffered a lot,

we saw a lot of... chaos,

even disgusting, filthy, and nauseating things.

And it was happening on a large scale, with high frequency, like cockroaches swarming out of their nests.

That's why we have such a paranoid obsession with maintaining stability."

He paused, looked at Li Ang, scratched his head, and slowly said, "Actually, I just found out what happened.

If you could have told me, or if we could have figured out your identity sooner,

maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way..."

"There's no difference."

Li Ang said calmly, "If the Special Affairs Bureau had known my identity from the beginning,

I would have been imprisoned, or semi-forced to join the Mobile Task Force.

You should know that."

"..."

Xing Hechou fell silent. After a long while, he slowly said, "You've helped us many times.

The Mirage Dragon incident, the mutation of Prince Shengnan, and the Lost World, you saved many of us.

It's our fault that things have turned out this way. I'm sorry."

He looked at Li Ang and said sincerely, "Brother Li, if you trust me, we can sit down and have a good talk..."

"Brother Xing,"

Li Ang interrupted Xing Hechou and said calmly, "There should be a high-level official or leader from the Special Affairs Bureau in the earpiece you're wearing.

Everything we say and do at this moment is being projected onto the big screen in the Special Affairs Bureau's headquarters command center."

Xing Hechou was silent for a while, then nodded. "...Yes."

"It's hard to put a knife back in its sheath once it's drawn, isn't it?"

Li Ang casually swept the long spear, tearing open the concrete pavement. "If we shake hands and make peace now,

first, neither side will be satisfied.

The Special Affairs Bureau suffered losses, was forced to seal off the city, and caused a mess. In the end, the suspect they were trying to capture became a guest of honor, a laughingstock in the eyes of other forces.

In this situation, it's impossible to offer very good negotiating conditions."

Xing Hechou was silent and slowly asked, "What's the second?"

"Second, you demolished my house, used my friends to lure me in, captured my companions, spied on my life, and prepared to judge my crimes."

Li Ang said calmly, "I'm very angry."

"...Everything can be negotiated."

"The premise of negotiation is that both sides have a basis for equal dialogue.

That is, an extension of strength."

Li Ang shook his head, and a series of explosive sounds came from his torso and limbs, and his entire body gradually became burly at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Aren't Su Nisheng and Hanshuishi here?

In that case, try to stop me."

The moment the last word was spoken, Li Ang disappeared from the spot.

Xing Hechou's heart suddenly trembled, and he instinctively drew a one-person-high bronze shield from the void and blocked it in front of him.

Dong!!!

Dense blood flowers burst out from Xing Hechou's arms, and the bronze shield heavily retreated, hitting his shoulder and knocking him out, smashing him into the roof of a truck on the side of the road.

Li Ang, maintaining his punching posture, had a ferocious smile on his face.

In a short moment, his height had expanded to more than two meters.

The tendons that had been suppressed by the divine power vines stretched and extended wantonly.

His heart beat heavily and powerfully, pumping blood continuously into the expanding and contracting blood vessels.

Attack!

Without any hesitation, the surrounding Mobile Task Force agents took action, and various attack methods enveloped Li Ang.

Not far ahead was the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau.

With the alert level constantly increasing,

the Mobile Task Force guarding the intersection were all players. At this time, they were doing their best, and the entire sky changed color, covered by flying swords, bullets, flames, and ice.

[Tier 1 Spiritual Energy Creation Ability - Greasy Spell]

Without turning his head, Li Ang released spiritual energy around him, covering the Mobile Task Force members within a ten-meter radius with a layer of viscous oil, slowing their movement speed.

[Tier 1 Spiritual Energy Conversion Ability - Stomp]

Li Ang stomped heavily on the ground. The shock wave composed of spiritual energy spread along the ground, hitting the feet of the surrounding Mobile Task Force agents, causing them to lose their balance and fall to the ground.

[Tier 2 Spiritual Energy Conversion Ability - Tier 2 Stellar Construct]

A black crack opened in mid-air, and the hazy starlight flowing out of it quickly formed a prismatic geometric shape.

Like a puppet golem created by a magic-type practitioner, it automatically created a translucent barrier to block some attacks,

and released a scarlet high-temperature beam from the tip of the prism.

Li Ang did not use large-scale mind enchantment abilities. He could feel that the Mobile Task Force members present were carrying mind protection items.

Although his spiritual energy level could penetrate the defenses and cause effects, it would consume too much.

Fortunately, he also mastered other schools of mental abilities.

[Tier 3 Spiritual Energy Divination Ability - Omniscient Vision]

Li Ang's eyes cleared, negating the sudden blindness curse. He retaliated with a Tier 3 Creation Ability, Azure Fire, burning the magic-type practitioners in the distance.

The Tyrant's Barricade Spear in his hand was swung wildly, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, charging straight ahead.

The elite Mobile Task Force was well-organized.

Melee fighters were responsible for holding back the enemy,

allowing the ranged attack group to release powerful spells or high-threat single target attacks.

Healing and support groups stood in the distance, responsible for applying buffs, as well as using various curses and control skills to weaken, immobilize, and slow down the enemy.

The defense group worked with the melee fighters to prevent the enemy from harming ranged units.

The Special Affairs Bureau had sufficient manpower and an extremely large amount of resources that could be called upon.

Their members, while ensuring that they had no obvious weaknesses, could obtain skills, equipment, and props in a certain direction from the organization based on their own situation, constantly strengthening one aspect of their power system.

The Mobile Task Force, composed of agents with different attributes, could hold back, or even defeat and kill, demons and monsters whose strength far exceeded theirs through reasonable arrangements and scheduling. This had been verified countless times in the exploration of the Prisoner Demon Cave.

But this time, past experience had failed.
