Xiang Sheng led the way to the largest shopping center in S City. Everyone's eyes were almost dazzled by the sights, and exclamations of amazement were endless, especially when they passed a swimming pool.
Xiang Yu kept his eyes straight ahead, trying his best not to look at the bikini-clad beauties. On the contrary, Yu Ji, Li Canghai, and Xu Fu kept glancing at the edge of the pool.
"What kind of behavior is this? It's indecent and immoral! They're all demons!" Xiaoyaozi had been to the Spirit Realm and had seen quite a bit. Even witches and demons didn't wear such revealing clothes. Those three small pieces of cloth, no bigger than a palm... they might as well just take them off!
Xiang Sheng chuckled, "When I first arrived, I was also incredibly shocked. In modern terms, it was incredibly open-minded. These are all ordinary people, not demons or cultivators."
"Ordinary people dress like this? That's quite revealing," Xiaoyaozi said helplessly.
"Isn't this a bath? You're already wearing a lot of clothes." Xiang Sheng glanced at her again.
It has to be said that times are progressing and technology is becoming more and more advanced. Even body shaping and beautification techniques have a bit of a high-tech feel to them, so the area around the pool is quite pleasing to the eye.
"Taking a bath in the street?" Xiaoyaozi shook his head with a wry smile.
"Well, 'taking a bath' isn't quite accurate. They were just playing in the water, and their clothes weren't that revealing." As Xiang Sheng spoke, they arrived at the shopping area. "Which outfit do you like? I'll buy it for you."
Looking around, the expensive ones were all the high-tech bodysuits that Xiang Sheng had given to everyone before, and there were many different styles. Some of them didn't look too bad, but rather had a uniform-like aesthetic.
These high-tech garments are officially called "Energy Suit" because they also have energy boxes on them, but they are very small and are mostly used as decorations or sewn directly into the clothes.
Hao Jiu examined the energy box on the clothes and found that it did contain very pure energy, but it was not system energy, and it gave Hao Jiu a very familiar feeling.
"Huh? This plane is called Soul Technology, could it be that this energy is..." Hao Jiu gasped.
"If all of this was obtained by killing and taking souls, I will never let them go!" Xiang Yu clenched his fists.
"Uh, Xiang Yu, don't get excited. Modern society is civilized, it shouldn't be like that. Let me investigate first." Hao Jiu felt more and more that this world was not simple.
Xiang Yu snorted coldly, "Don't buy this kind of clothing, do you have any ordinary ones?"
"Yes," Xiang Sheng replied quickly.
Soon after, everyone, including Xiang Sheng, changed into ordinary sportswear, making the group quite conspicuous on the street.
Xiang Yu was a tall man of 1.9 meters with a good physique and a heroic appearance. He was full of masculine charm and had two great beauties, Yu Ji and Li Canghai, by his side. Although Xu Fu had a petite figure, she was also quite good-looking. Xiang Sheng was also a handsome young man.
As for Xiaoyaozi, he was even more extraordinary. With his white hair and beard, he exuded an air of otherworldly elegance even when dressed in sportswear.
However, in this world, wealthy people generally choose fully enclosed meta-suits, which are not only stylish and beautiful, but also very comfortable, feeling like being naked and bathing in a gentle spring breeze.
The key point is that this energy suit has a certain degree of defensive capability. After wearing the energy suit, antique guns or knives cannot damage it in the slightest. Only modified energy guns or knives can destroy the energy suit.
In this way, whether a person is rich or not can be judged by whether they can afford a meta-energy suit. Brand name meta-energy suits are naturally more expensive, have more functions, and carry more meta-energy.
Having just arrived in the modern world, I naturally want to explore thoroughly, go on a shopping spree, and sample all sorts of delicious food.
"I didn't expect you to be quite wealthy in this world," Xu Fu said, licking the ice cream in his hand.
"Well, making money is very easy. Gold is the hard currency of this world, and I even participated in a competition once, winning a lot of prize money. It was in that competition that I killed the target host," Xiang Sheng recalled.
"What kind of competition is this? Someone killed and no one cares?" Xu Fu asked curiously.
"That was a masked gladiator tournament I participated in in another country. All participants had to sign a waiver of life and death. Swords and blades are indiscriminate and accidental injuries are inevitable. Moreover, all participants wore energy suits with helmets, so they were not easily killed by ordinary swords and blades."
But the target host killed his opponent in every match, which is why he was the favorite to win the championship. In the end, I killed him with my Three-Sword Style Secret Technique, and then I broke through.
Looking back now, I'm glad he only recently bound himself to the system and wasn't too strong yet, just at the peak of the Overlord Realm. If he had broken through first, I probably would have been in a tough fight and might have even had to call for backup.
After receiving the prize money, I left that country, swam across the sea, and came here. This country is great in every way, except that you need an ID card to do many things, and neither do you. We're all illegal immigrants, so please don't get caught by the National Security Bureau," Xiang Sheng laughed.
"It seems we've been discovered. Looks like we can't keep wandering around like this." Xu Fu pointed to the two people in black energy suits in front of them and said.
"I'm afraid it's not just them; there are quite a few people dressed like that around here," Li Canghai said with a slight smile.
Yu Ji released her divine sense to scan the entire shopping mall building. "They have people both upstairs and downstairs."
"They are all mortals, not a single one of them is a cultivator." Xiaoyaozi shook his head helplessly. With their limited strength, it wouldn't matter how many came.
"How did they find us?" Xiang Yu asked, puzzled.
Keep in mind that they entered the alternate dimension shortly after arriving in this plane, and they have only just come out of the alternate dimension.
Hao Jiu thought for a moment, "It's probably surveillance or satellites. There are many surveillance cameras in modern cities, and there are satellites in space overlooking the earth. It's not difficult to find someone. Xiang Sheng, you probably played more than one game in that country, right? What else did you do?"
Xiang Sheng looked embarrassed. "Uh, the organizers of the competition broke their promise and sent a bunch of people with weapons to attack me, and then I killed them all. Those weapons made me dizzy; they seemed to be designed to attack the soul. Luckily, I'm at the Core Formation stage, and my soul is much stronger, otherwise I would have been in real trouble."
"So that's how it is. I've seen them following for a long time, why haven't they made a move yet?" Xiang Yu was puzzled.
"Because they're from the National Security Bureau, they're probably afraid of hurting innocent civilians if they act here. We appeared right in a crowded shopping mall; they probably didn't expect that." Xiang Sheng had heard a bit about the National Security Bureau's modus operandi.
"Hmm, they know how to care for the people, this National Security Bureau is not bad. So, they should have nothing to do with the group that organized the masked gladiatorial tournament?" Xiang Yu nodded slightly.
"That's not necessarily true. Their delay in making a move could be because they're waiting for someone. After all, our appearance was too sudden, and the National Security Bureau's top experts might not be here."
"Besides, law enforcement agencies in different countries are in contact. If Xiang Sheng commits a crime abroad, he could be wanted worldwide. We've been dragged down by this guy, Xiang Sheng." Hao Jiu laughed.
"How about we split up? I'll lead them away," Xiang Sheng suggested.
"It's alright. They already knew we were in cahoots. They wouldn't let us go while they were arresting you. Let them come. We can eat and shop as we please." Xiang Yu could tell that the three women hadn't finished shopping, so he decided to pretend he hadn't noticed the people.
"The Feather God is mighty!" Xu Fu smelled the delicious aroma wafting from ahead again. "Let's go eat that!"
“Let’s go!” Yu Ji and Li Canghai readily agreed, each taking Xiang Yu’s arm and walking towards the source of the fragrance.
Xiang Yu was slightly taken aback, but he didn't struggle and let them go. Ever since he returned from the Demon Realm, he had noticed that the two women had become much closer.
"I want two portions!" Xiaoyaozi also loves modern food; he not only wants to eat it, but he also wants to learn how to make it.
Xiang Sheng glanced at the National Security Bureau personnel seemingly unintentionally, then swaggered after the group, saying, "I want two portions too!"
At that moment, a woman from the National Security Bureau lowered her head and said, "Boss, the target seems to have spotted us, but they haven't run away. They're still eating and drinking in the food street. They can really eat!"
"Can they eat it? No, why do you care if they can eat it or not? Keep a close eye on them. It's best not to make a move in densely populated areas. Wait until they leave the shopping mall. I'll be there soon."
"yes!"
Shortly after, a burly man arrived at the shopping mall. "Where are they? Have they come out yet?"
"Don't worry, several pairs of eyes are watching, they can't escape. They're still eating, they're all big eaters. But I think I know what they're up to," the woman said listlessly.
"What are you doing?" the burly man asked instinctively.
"They're going to eat every last bit of food in there! Are you sure we're here to catch an SSS-level vicious criminal? I think they're just gluttons, and gluttons who haven't eaten in years!"
Suddenly, the agent in charge of surveillance inside gave an urgent report, his voice trembling, "Boss! No, something bad has happened! The person is gone! They were just here! Gone in the blink of an eye!"
"What! Get to it right now! Watch every single frame of the surveillance video!" the burly man roared. "What a bunch of useless trash!"
Just then, a stranger's voice came from behind the burly man.
Are you looking for us?
Chapter 538 Arrest
Guan Yunfei is the youngest and most powerful figure in the National Security Bureau, capable of sensing every rustle of wind within a hundred meters.
Even if the enemy uses a weapon like an anti-materiel sniper rifle to ambush him, he can detect it and take effective evasive action when the bullet enters within 100 meters.
But now, a living person has silently run up behind him without him noticing, or rather, the other person has already spoken by the time he notices.
"Are you looking for me?" Xiang Yu observed the burly man in front of him with great interest. He exuded a strong killing intent and had already mastered the method of releasing domineering aura, so he must have just entered the Xuan Realm not long ago.
Guan Yunfei twisted and flipped, instantly creating distance between himself and Xiang Yu. The elemental dagger in his hand gleamed with a chilling light. "Who are you? Where is he?"
"Do you know Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King? That's me, or you can call me God Yu. If you're looking for Xiang Sheng, then he's right beside you, watching over you," Xiang Yu said seriously.
"Hiss..." Guan Yunfei gasped, and quickly did another extreme twist and flip 180 degrees. He was shocked to find that the place where he had been standing was now occupied by his subordinates. There was no crosstalk performance, not even a skit!
“You can’t see him, and you don’t need to see him. Because he is my subordinate, and he only kills those who deserve to die. You can’t arrest him, and you can’t arrest him anyway.”
As Xiang Yu spoke, he glanced at the weapons in the hands of the National Security Bureau personnel. These were the modern firearms that the God of Wine had mentioned, except that they were equipped with energy boxes, making them even more powerful and also having a soul attack effect.
"Arrogant!" Guan Yunfei suddenly mobilized the domineering energy around him and pressed it down on Xiang Yu. With all sides blocked, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't escape.
However, the scenario that Guan Yunfei had imagined—suppressing his opponent—did not occur. Instead, he found himself unable to move. His domineering energy was squeezed back by an invisible barrier, making the difference in strength immediately apparent, and it was a crushing defeat!
"I don't think we need to resort to force. Contact your superior immediately; I need to meet him. Perhaps we can consider cooperation." Xiang Yu planned to use diplomacy first, but if they really went so far as to kill and take souls, wiping them all out wouldn't be difficult.
Guan Yunfei's expression kept changing. With this person who called himself the Feather God possessing such a powerful aura and unpredictable abilities, it would be extremely difficult to catch him. In fact, as soon as they made a move, they would have to pay a huge price in casualties.
But things can be done by human effort; perhaps we can find another way to capture or kill this person.
"You want to see my superior? Sure, come with me, but could you please have your men show themselves?"
"There's no need. You are no match for us. Lead the way," Xiang Yu commanded.
Guan Yunfei's face was ashen, and the veins on his forehead throbbed three times. In the end, it was not appropriate to make a move here. "Let's go!"
Xiang Yu took two steps to catch up, saying, "You can go faster, I can keep up."
Guan Yunfei huffed and puffed as he began to accelerate, "I'm afraid that going too fast will scare ordinary people."
"Hmm, you care about the people, that's good." Xiang Yu praised Guan Yunfei, but it only made Guan Yunfei's expression turn even uglier.
"Fall back." The female national security officer waved her hand and quickly followed. Her ears were slightly burning. This was the first time she had ever seen someone who could make their captain so obedient. At the very least, the person must be much stronger than their captain.
The key point is that this person's every move and word is quite extraordinary, and he has a strong sense of self-confidence, which really makes him resemble Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King.
Soon, Guan Yunfei led Xiang Yu to the airport area of the shopping center, where a small flying car was quietly parked.
"Get in, my flying car is small, I'm afraid it can only fit you." Guan Yunfei smiled slightly, glancing around out of the corner of his eye. The SSS-level international criminal on the wanted poster wasn't here at all. Could this person just be bluffing? Even the names Xiang Yu and Xiang Sheng might be fake... How could they be real!
The car doors opened automatically, and Xiang Yu got in without a second thought.
Guan Yunfei's lips twitched violently as he got into the car and sat next to Xiang Yu. "This flying car is my newly assigned private car, so you'd better drive carefully."
"You drive yourself," Xiang Yu said expressionlessly.
"Okay." Guan Yunfei suppressed the urge to lash out, reminding himself that it was not appropriate to make a move in the car. Besides, why would you sit in the driver's seat if you weren't driving?
Fortunately, the driver's seat of this flying car can be adjusted. Some people are used to the left side, while others are used to the right side, but it is obvious that Guan Yunfei is not used to it after adjusting it.
The flying car started and sped out of the airport, narrowly missing an aerial train. Guan Yunfei was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly switched to autopilot mode.
This was Xiang Yu's first time riding in modern transportation, and he found it quite nice, except that it was too slow and couldn't compare to the speed of his black horse, Wuzhui.
"Can your car go fast?"
"Supersonic flight is slow? My car is the latest model, the fastest flying car in the world. No other country sells it! Uh, it's not sold in China either. It's only awarded to experts like me," Guan Yunfei said proudly.
"There must be many experts like you, right?" As Xiang Yu spoke, he opened another portal to a different dimension in another commercial building. Yu Ji and the others, led by Xiang Sheng, happily continued their shopping spree.
However, with Xiaoyaozi's help, everyone changed their appearance and clothes, so even if they were caught on camera, no one would recognize them.
