Rocky frowned as well. He thought about it seriously for a moment, then said solemnly, "Chen Xiao, things aren't that simple. Although the Shield Division was established specifically to handle these special cases, it's not omnipotent! A case this big in K City—I couldn't possibly handle it all by myself! Too many forces are involved, so I need your cooperation. You've already demonstrated your abilities. So… consider this the police requesting your help. Is that right?"
It turns out they were conscripting men.
Chen Xiao sneered inwardly: "I'm afraid it also involves surveillance. From the official perspective, the existence of people with superpowers is always something that needs to be strictly regulated, right?"
“I don’t deny that,” Rocky chuckled. “But it’s not as serious as you think. We know very well that the superpowered world has its own rules, and we won’t act recklessly. This time… consider it a favor we’re asking for.”
"If I don't help, are you planning to cause trouble for Officer Xu?"
Rocky didn't deny it, shaking his head and saying, "If you think this is blackmail, then think what you want! But Officer Xu, you're from the Special Operations System! You should know the rules and regulations! Whatever your initial intentions, altering case reports and concealing valuable intelligence for personal reasons—isn't that dereliction of duty? Remember! You are first and foremost a police officer!!"
Chen Xiao, on the contrary, felt more relaxed.
"Alright. Save your breath." Chen Xiao snorted. "You want to cooperate, right? Fine! I agree to your request. Do you want to talk to me? Come find me at the hospital tomorrow afternoon. You won't be unable to find me in which hospital and which ward I'm in, will you?" As he spoke, Chen Xiao shook his bandaged arm. "I'm still injured."
Actually, he knew very well what was going on in his heart.
Of these incidents, apart from the accidental one involving the resort islands on Baidao Lake, the rest are all related to the Xu family! The old man of the Xu family has a very mysterious background and intricate connections with the world of supernatural abilities.
As for asking me for help... what a joke, what can I do?
The attacks on Little Red Robe and the police convoy were carried out by Yaksha and Alice. Yaksha is dead, and Alice was taken away by the Phoenix.
What else can I do?
If Rocky really wants to solve the case, the breakthrough should be going to the Xu family. I just need to deal with him and make sure Officer Xu doesn't get into trouble.
Officer Xu, with a grim face, first helped his daughter into the car, then got out and frowned as he surveyed the scene…
Chen Xiao beat more than a dozen kidnappers to a pulp, leaving them bleeding from their heads, with broken arms and legs; the factory was full of people lying in bed.
He and Chen Xiao exchanged a glance, as if to say: How should this matter be handled?
If it were publicly stated that Chen Xiao single-handedly killed more than a dozen armed kidnappers, he would probably be on the front page of television news within a day!
Exposure is not something Chen Xiao wants.
But... should we cover it up? These dozen or so bandits are still alive. If we take them back, although we can write whatever we want in the report, what about... what will we do with their confessions? A dozen people, a dozen mouths, if they start spouting nonsense, it will be troublesome.
Moreover... even if I wanted to alter the report, with Rocky, who was sent down from above, watching me like a hawk, I would be constantly restrained. I absolutely cannot give him any leverage at this time!
Just then, Rocky suddenly smiled.
His pale face wore a strange smile: "Are you two in a difficult position?"
Chen Xiao and Officer Xu remained silent.
Rocky lowered his head, seemingly thinking very seriously for a moment, then looked at Officer Xu, as if he had made up his mind: "Officer Xu, you know these kidnappers, right? Could you tell me about their information?"
“They’re all professional kidnappers.” Officer Xu frowned. “Over the years, they’ve ruined countless families, killing countless people. Kidnapping and murder are their most common crimes. They’re just very cunning; they never leave any loose ends. I only managed to catch their leader last year during a random case, bringing him to justice. But this guy is very cunning. We didn’t have much evidence against him at the time. Based on his criminal record, he could easily have been executed several times over. But we didn’t have any evidence, so he was eventually sentenced to ten years in prison for assault. Sigh, I’m very unwilling to accept this. I’ve been trying to find new evidence for the past two years, but I haven’t made any progress. And then, unexpectedly, this guy escaped from prison and kidnapped my daughter!”
Rocky listened, seemingly lost in thought, and slowly walked to the people lying on the ground. He circled around them and finally stood next to the kidnapper leader.
"Hmm... Would being shot several times over be more than enough?"
His voice carried a hint of mystery, while an indescribable, cold smile appeared on his face.
Chen Xiao watched this unfold, and a strange feeling stirred within him...
Bang!
Rocky suddenly raised his toes and lightly kicked the kidnapper leader in the neck!
His kick was swift and precise. It seemed to have used little force, but the landing point was extremely accurate! With a cracking sound, the kidnapper leader's neck was broken on the spot! The poor leader, who had been unconscious and hadn't even uttered a sound, was gone in an instant!
"Since it's so troublesome, let's just save ourselves the trouble."
Rocky looked up and smiled at Chen Xiao and Officer Xu.
Chapter 126 [The Decision]
At this moment, Rocky was like a cold-blooded and sinister butcher. With a calm smile that sent chills down your spine, he walked around and kicked the dozen or so kidnappers on the ground to death one by one!
His movements were as swift as a wisp of smoke, yet composed and unyielding.
These dozen or so kidnappers truly exemplified the saying: "They became ghosts without even realizing it!"
Chen Xiao watched as Rocky acted, but before he could stop him, more than a dozen people were killed! Chen Xiao was completely stunned!
He never expected Rocky to do something like this!
Seeing Rocky's actions, he felt a chill run down his spine!
"You! How could you!" Chen Xiao suddenly realized what was happening and shouted angrily.
"What's wrong?" Rocky asked nonchalantly. "These people are all utterly wicked."
"But you have no right to..."
As Chen Xiao finished speaking, a thought suddenly struck him, and he realized why he was so angry!
Yes! It's power!
Even if these people are utterly wicked... what gives you, Rocky, the right to do this? What gives you the right to arbitrarily judge and take other people's lives?
Just because you have superpowers?!
Especially when Rocky is killing people, the indifference, the cold smile, the unmoved expression on his face is chilling!
