As Bai Ye's voice faded, Gordon rushed out of his office anxiously.
Gordon picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Anyone near the broadcast room, proceed to the broadcast room immediately for an arrest. You'll need weapons; the suspect is highly dangerous. The special task force will assemble on the fifth floor where the broadcast room is located. Block both stairwells on either side, as well as the elevator and fire escape entrances."
Meanwhile...
Bai Ye put down the microphone, humming a tune as he stood up and opened the broadcast room door.
The moment the door swung open, a revolver was pressed against Bai Ye's head.
"Don't move, hands..."
Bang, bang, bang...
Before the other person could finish speaking, Bai Ye abruptly raised his hand, grabbing the firearm. The other person instinctively pulled the trigger, but as Bai Ye lifted their arm, the bullets struck the ceiling.
In the next instant, Bai Ye grabbed the person's head and smashed it against the wall, instantly dazing them.
Bai Ye peeked out into the corridor and then...
Bang!
From one side of the corridor, an agent fired a shot, hitting the wall.
Bai Ye pulled his head back, drew the Bloodthirsty Blade from his waist, and held it to the neck of the unconscious man, using him as a shield as he walked out of the broadcast room.
"Come on, shoot!" Bai Ye smiled. "If you plan to kill him, then shoot now."
As Bai Ye spoke, he dragged the man backward.
Several agents dared not fire carelessly but also dared not leave, only able to advance cautiously, guns raised, pinning Bai Ye in their sights.
It was at this moment...
Behind the agents, Gengar silently emerged halfway and then raised its short arms high.
"Shadow Ball!"
With a burst of effort, Gengar launched the Shadow Ball forward.
Boom!
The moment the Shadow Ball hit the ground, a thunderous explosion erupted.
The agents were instantly blown back, and large cracks spread across the wall.
Bai Ye forcefully shoved the stunned agent in front of him aside, turned quickly, and in that instant, lifted his shirt to draw dual pulse guns from his waist.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...
Bai Ye pulled the trigger, and then, pale blue beams flashed through the air, hitting the agents behind him, piercing their bodies one after another.
In the blink of an eye, only three bodies lay bleeding before Bai Ye.
Bai Ye took out a fruit and tossed it casually.
Gengar emerged from the ground beside Bai Ye and, opening its mouth wide, swallowed the fruit.
Bai Ye smiled and patted Gengar's head. "Well done!"
Meanwhile...
The lobby!
After Bai Ye's voice disappeared, the lobby was plunged into chaos and panic.
"I don't know, I don't know anything. I'm not a criminal, and I'm not an agent."
"I just came to handle some paperwork."
"Please let us go, I beg you, let us go..."
Some people collapsed onto chairs, others wailed incessantly. In moments, it was a chaotic mess.
Suddenly, a burly agent drew his handgun and turned to leave.
"Randolph, what are you doing?" Another agent immediately stepped forward, gun in hand, blocking Randolph's path. "Calm down, put the gun down!"
"What am I doing? I'm going to kill those six bastards," Randolph cursed. "Do you want everyone to die because of six bastards?"
"We understand how you feel, but there's no need for this. We still have time. Calm down, we'll figure something out. And don't forget your identity; you're an agent."
"To hell with calm, to hell with identity!" Randolph wailed. "I just got married, you know? I just got married. I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"That's right, they're just six criminals. What's wrong with killing them?"
"Aren't our lives as citizens more important?"
"Kill them, kill those six guys!"
"Do you know who I am? I am Lescott Rivet, CEO of Flower Cloth Bank. Do you know what consequences you'll face if I die? Do you know how much of the investigation bureau's annual budget comes from Flower Cloth Bank?"
"Kill those six criminals for me. I'll take responsibility for everything afterward. I'll hire the best lawyer for him and give him a million in cash. No, I'll give two million!"
Many people around began to stir, even becoming enraged.
"What's all the shouting!"
At this moment, Gordon appeared at the edge of the crowd, forcefully pushing people aside.
"What are you all shouting about?" Gordon roared. "With this time, why not look for the bomb? Why not go catch the criminals!"
Randolph gritted his teeth. "What's the point of finding the bomb? The bomb disposal unit can't get in, and the bomb is remotely detonated. It can be set off before it's defused!"
"What did you say? What are you talking about?" Gordon reached out and pushed Randolph. "Look at what's hanging on your chest. It's a badge! How dare you say something like that?"
Randolph ripped off his badge and shouted, "I quit!"
Gordon was fuming. It was then that...
A young man suddenly burst from the side, holding a pair of scissors he had taken from a desk, and forcefully stabbed at Gordon's lower back.
*Thwack!*
The scissors pierced his lower back, and blood immediately began to flow.
Gordon turned back in disbelief, seeing a ferocious face.
The young man roared, "Live, live! I want to live! Anyone who doesn't let me kill those six bastards, I'll kill them..."
Amidst the shouting, the surrounding agents rushed forward and subdued the young man.
Even so, the young man struggled and yelled, "Act! Everyone act! Do you want to die here?"
Some began to stir, slowly moving their feet, intending to leave the lobby and head to the holding cells.
Gordon, clutching his wound, slumped onto a nearby chair with a pale face, looking utterly powerless.
Bai Ye stood at the corner of the corridor, looking at the chaotic crowd, and couldn't help but smile.
"Director Gordon, this is human nature," Bai Ye said with a smile as he walked in the opposite direction. "I hope you will remember the lesson I've taught you well."
Bai Ye hummed a tune and walked out of the investigation bureau, reaching the perimeter wall. He lightly vaulted over it and then took out a remote control.
Boom, boom, boom!
Inside the investigation bureau, explosions sounded continuously. Scorching flames spread, glass windows shattered repeatedly, and countless shards of glass rained down, sparkling and fragile, shattering completely as they fell.
Much like the human heart!
