“Whoosh… whoosh…”
Inside a dark, damp basement.
Sieg panting heavily, using a dagger to dig out bullet heads embedded in his body one by one.
Papa!
The brass bullets fell to the ground with crisp sounds, stained with blood, their tips completely flattened, as if they had struck steel plates.
“What a pity… all the life-saving tools were used up in the previous gunfight. Otherwise, why would I be so disheveled?”
Sieg cursed fiercely. At this moment, the bullet wounds on his body actually began to stop bleeding and heal automatically, revealing formidable regenerative abilities and vitality.
“Just that… I must leave here now…”
He changed into clean clothes, put on a hat, and walked out onto the bustling street.
The piercing police sirens echoed across the city’s skyline. At nearly every intersection, police detectives with vigilant expressions, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, were eyeing every passerby suspiciously.
“Damn it!”
Sieg’s heart sank. He was definitely not an ordinary person. Having experienced university training, he understood even better the terrifying power of the kingdom’s machinery. He vaguely felt that his initial focus solely on healing instead of escaping the city might have been his biggest mistake.
“Still, even if I escape, it won’t help, right? Every roadblock and customs checkpoint will be watching for me unless I walk out of the kingdom on foot. But who knows how long it would take to escape the entire kingdom, and even if I did, I’d be pursued by international police as a fugitive!”
Sieg gave a bitter smile.
Since falling into despair, he had ceased to care much about such situations.
“But there’s still a bit of hope… the Lord’s Space! Since it has resurrection items, surely it can also revive people in the real world… as long as I have enough contribution points!”
He clenched his fist tightly, his eyes gleaming with a wolf-like green light: “First, I should hide. Just endure until the next round of missions starts…”
At that time, within the Lord’s Space, even if the police turned the entire city of Leviathan upside down, they wouldn’t find the slightest trace of the Reincarnator.
Thinking of this, Sieg quickened his pace and arrived at a telephone booth.
“Hello, Mr. Lone Wolf!”
After dialing a mysterious number, an astonished voice came from the other end: “Please wait, my master wants to speak with you!”
“Lonewolf!”
Not long after, a colder voice came through: “Look at what you’ve done. You’ve practically attracted half the kingdom’s police and investigators here. Do you want our existence completely exposed?”
The speaker was casual, his tone clearly that of an authoritative figure, apparently another high-ranking reincarnator.
“That bastard Matt deserved to die!”
Speaking of this, Sieg showed no regret at all.
“You had many ways to take revenge—collect his crimes and expose them through the media, or even secretly poison him. That would have been much better. Besides… you involved officials from the Crimson Clover Federation!”
The voice on the other end finally showed a trace of anger: “Although Matt had great power, he also had many enemies. There were plenty of people who wanted to see him fall, but definitely not in this way! You’ve broken the game rules!”
“To hell with the game rules!”
Sieg nearly roared, regardless of the astonished glances from outside the glass booth.
“I’m sorry to inform you… our cooperation ends here!”
The voice on the other end returned to calmness: “We won’t leak your funds or location, but we won’t provide any assistance either. Lastly, good luck!”
The loud beeping after the call was piercing. Sieg’s expression changed rapidly.
That powerful Reincarnator organization had refused to act, clearly indicating the severity of what he had done was worse than expected.
But he had no time to think further. Seeing the police around and the curious glances drawn by the commotion, Sieg lowered his hat brim and quickly vanished into a nearby alley.
…
Crime scene.
Numerous dark brown bloodstains scattered around. Lucius squatted down, observing three parallel claw marks, a thoughtful expression on his face.
“We’ve obtained witness statements. The suspect’s composite sketch matches Sieg exactly. That boy is the main suspect. No! He is the murderer!”
An old detective said beside him.
“The psychiatric colleagues have reported. Except for being slightly frightened, the bodyguard is otherwise normal!”
At this moment, another member of the special investigation unit ran in: “Be careful. The one we’re dealing with this time might really be a monster that can transform into a wolf! Lucius, did you find anything?”
“Plenty…”
In Lucius’s or any seasoned detective’s view, the information left at the scene was too abundant: “That boy is ultimately just an ordinary person. Even with some strange abilities, he lacks anti-detection awareness. I suspect he hasn’t even left the city yet. Next… we should check if the patrol department has received any unusual reports… That boy will expose himself…”
Lucius stood up, a toothpick in his mouth.
“I agree with your analysis!”
A special investigation unit member at the phone suddenly shouted: “Suspect appeared at telephone booth 231 on Champs-Élysées Avenue, five minutes ago!!!”
“He’s appeared! He won’t escape!”
Lucius excitedly tore off his trench coat: “Move out!”
Wuwuwu!
The piercing police sirens suddenly tore through the sky.
Bang! Bang!
Inside the sewer, numerous gunshots rang out, vaguely accompanied by a beast’s roar.
“This is the sewer on Champs-Élysées Avenue, requesting backup… Ah!!”
Hearing the broadcast from the police car, Lucius and the other officers’ faces turned grim.
“Whoosh… gurgle…”
From the radio, one could still hear a low beast-like growl, which then faded into silence.
“We’ve already sealed off the entire street and all underground pipelines. He can’t escape!”
Outside Champs-Élysées Avenue, a large number of police formed a cordon. In the sky above, the roar of helicopter blades grew louder.
“What kind of aircraft is that?”
Lucius looked up and saw several crafts that were definitely not airships and were unlike any advanced aircraft from the Crimson Clover Federation, with several Arrow members holding sniper rifles, ready at any moment.
“That’s the Royal Research Institute’s latest achievement—the hovercraft!”
A royal inspector beside him spoke with solemnity: “Originally only deployed in the capital city, five units have now been urgently dispatched here… Outside Leviathan City, the military is also on standby. If we fail our mission, they will take over immediately!”
“It seems that kid really made the Golden Oak Kingdom furious…”
Lucius stared at the hovercraft in the sky, knowing that this latest military technology would definitely attract great interest from the federation’s spies.
But now was definitely not the time for intelligence gathering.
“Prepare my bulletproof vest, shotgun, large caliber, and special bullets!”
He quickly equipped himself: “Forget those small-caliber toys. Shooting that monster with them would only tickle it… Haven’t the previous guards and police learned their lesson yet?”
“My little darling, I’m coming for you!”
A team of elite special investigation unit members formed an assault squad. Lucius’s lips curled into a slight smile as he suddenly led the charge into the sewer.
“Target moving west, one thousand meters away!”
“Target bit two of our officers, changed direction east, nine hundred meters!”
“It’s been hit! Wound condition unknown, speed has decreased!”
…
Accompanied by the desperate voices over the radio, Lucius grew increasingly excited, already able to hear the beast’s roar in his ears.
“My baby, we’re coming!”
Bang! Bang!
After rushing through a tunnel, the front suddenly opened up like an abandoned subway station platform. A dark shadow was rampaging among the police officers. Its over-two-meter-tall figure, emerald green eyes, pitch-black fur, and upright posture made Lucius’s adrenaline surge.
This was a mixture of tension and fear.
The opponent was clearly a top-tier predator in the food chain. Its two sharp claws and fangs were pure instruments of death!
“Charge!”
Following the commander’s order, Lucius quickly rolled on the ground, executing a standard tactical maneuver. His shotgun erupted with sparks.
After the smoke cleared, pushed back by the massive recoil, he quickly retreated, but another colleague wasn’t so lucky. A scream rang out.
“Awooooo!”
Accompanied by a howl from the werewolf, smoke suddenly emerged from the center. The beast ran like the wind, suddenly breaking through the encirclement and fleeing without looking back.
“Smoke bomb?”
An officer shouted in frustration: “How can a beast use tools?”
“Because it’s not just a beast, but a monster with intelligence!”
Lucius coldly added, then looked at his fallen comrade beside him.
“Haus! Haus!”
This guy was slightly slower in retreating; his chest had already been torn open by the werewolf’s claws, clearly beyond saving.
“It… was hit. I saw it clearly, that must have been a serious wound!”
Haus struggled, uttering his final words: “Get that monster!”
“I will!”
Seeing his comrade die beside him, even though they had barely met before, Lucius’s face turned furious: “I swear it!”
…
“Something’s happened!”
A gorgeous woman pushed open the door: “Breaking news—the kid’s been surrounded, at Champs-Élysées Avenue!”
“I just sensed the annoying smell too…”
Joseph’s expression was strange: “But… it’s different from before. It must be a new breed. What an interesting little fellow!”
“No matter how interesting he is, if we don’t act now, he’ll be dead for sure!”
The gorgeous woman gestured: “Move out!”
…
“O Lord, please guide our path!”
On another side, Bob led several Punishment Warriors off the airship, beginning their routine prayers.
Then, as if receiving some revelation, he suddenly dashed toward the direction of Champs-Élysées Avenue.
