As Bai Ye's voice faded, Gordon hurried out of his office, his expression anxious.
He grabbed the intercom, "Anyone near the broadcast room, head to the broadcast room immediately for an arrest. You'll need weapons; the target is a highly dangerous individual. Special Task Force, assemble on the fifth floor where the broadcast room is located. Block off both stairwells to the left and right. Secure the elevator and fire escape entrances."
Meanwhile…
Bai Ye put down the microphone, humming a little tune as he stood up and opened the broadcast room door.
The instant the door swung open, a revolver was pressed against Bai Ye's head.
"Don't move, hands up..."
Bang, bang, bang…
Before the other person could finish speaking, Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand, grabbing the gun. The other party instinctively pulled the trigger, but as Bai Ye lifted their arm, the bullets struck the ceiling.
In the next moment, 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, hitting the wall beside them.
Bai Ye pulled his head back, drew the Bloodthirsty Blade from his waist, and held it to the neck of the man he had knocked unconscious. He then used the man as a shield and walked out of the broadcast room.
"Come on, shoot!" Bai Ye smiled. "If you intend to kill him, shoot now."
As he spoke, Bai Ye dragged the man backward.
Several agents dared not shoot indiscriminately, but they also dared not retreat. They could only raise their guns and advance towards Bai Ye, keeping him in their sights.
Just then…
From behind the agents, Gengar silently emerged halfway, then raised its short arms high.
"Shadow Ball!"
With a surge of power, Gengar propelled the Shadow Ball forward.
Rumble!
The moment the Shadow Ball hit the ground, a deafening explosion erupted.
The agents were instantly sent flying, and large cracks appeared on the wall, spreading rapidly.
Bai Ye abruptly shoved the unconscious agent in front of him away, quickly turning. As he turned, Bai Ye lifted his shirt and drew the Pulse Dual Guns from his waist.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…
Bai Ye pulled the trigger. In an instant, pale blue beams flashed through the air, hitting the agents behind him and piercing their bodies repeatedly.
In the blink of an eye, only three bodies lay bleeding on the ground before Bai Ye.
Bai Ye took out a fruit and tossed it casually.
Gengar emerged from the ground beside Bai Ye, opening its mouth wide to swallow the fruit.
Bai Ye smiled and patted Gengar's head. "Well done!"
Meanwhile…
The lobby!
After Bai Ye's voice disappeared, the lobby instantly descended 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 complete some paperwork."
"Let us go, please, let us go…"
Some people collapsed onto chairs, others wailed. In a flash, it became a messy scene.
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. "Calm down, put the gun away!"
"What am I doing? Of course, I'm going to kill those six bastards," Randolph cursed. "Are you going to let everyone be buried with six scum?"
"We understand how you feel, but there's no need for this. We still have time. Calm down, we'll figure out a way. And don't forget your identity; you're an agent."
"Damn calm, damn 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 Rivett, CEO of the Floral Bank. Do you know the consequences you'll face if I die? Do you know how much of the Investigation Bureau's annual budget comes from our Floral Bank?"
"Kill those six criminals for me. I'll take full responsibility afterward. I'll get him the best lawyer and give him a million in cash. No, I'll give two million!"
Many people around began to heckle, even becoming incensed.
"What's all the noise about!"
At this moment, Gordon appeared on the periphery of the crowd, pushing people aside forcefully.
"What are you all shouting about?" Gordon roared. "Instead of arguing here, why don't you find where the bomb is? Why don't you go and catch the culprits!"
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 even disarmed!"
"What are you saying? What are you talking about?" Gordon reached out and pushed Randolph. "Look at what's hanging on your chest. It's a badge! How can you say something like that?"
Randolph ripped off his badge and shouted, "I quit!"
Gordon was furious, but at this moment…
A young man suddenly darted out from the side, holding a pair of scissors he had taken from a desk, and forcefully stabbed Gordon in the lower back.
Thwack!
The scissors pierced his lower back, and blood immediately began to flow.
Gordon turned around incredulously, seeing a ferocious face.
The young man roared, "Live, I want to live! Anyone who stops me from killing those six bastards, I'll kill them…"
Amidst the roar, the surrounding agents quickly swarmed forward and pinned the young man to the ground.
Even so, the young man struggled, shouting, "Take action! Everyone, take action! Do you want to die here?"
Some people were beginning to stir, slowly moving their feet, intending to leave the lobby and head towards the detention cells.
Gordon clutched his wound, his face pale as he slumped onto a nearby chair, 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, walking in the opposite direction with a smile. "I hope you'll remember the lesson I've taught you well."
Bai Ye hummed a little tune as he walked out of the Investigation Bureau, reached the perimeter wall, and deftly flipped over it. He then took out a remote control.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Inside the Investigation Bureau, explosions sounded continuously. Blazing flames spread, windows shattered, and countless shards of glass rained down, sparkling and fragile, completely disintegrating as they fell.
Much like human hearts!
