Shake, tremble.

Unlike previous teleportation experiences, Li Ang opened his eyes in confusion.

His vision shifted from black to white, gradually becoming clearer, and the first thing that caught his eye was the broken floor-to-ceiling window and the torn metal railing of the balcony.

The entire neighborhood was plunged into an eerie silence, with no sound of residents jogging, walking dogs, or cars driving by, and no clatter of pots and pans from cooking and meals.

Beyond the balcony, he could see a group of people in black suits walking in the stairways on both sides of the opposing apartment building, carrying oddly shaped metal instruments in their hands and entering each household.

An intense wave, something that could be perceived by Divine Sense, enveloped the entire apartment complex.

"..."

Li Ang's foot stepped on the shards of the floor-to-ceiling window, making a creaking sound,

A surge of Spiritual Energy carrying complex information flowed into his brain along the floor.

"Whew..."

The sound of an exhaled breath resonated in the living room,

The broken dragon head mask he wore and the tattered white coat automatically retracted into the sodium ring, disappearing.

Creak——

The master bedroom door was pushed open from within, and an agent wrapped in a thick, black protective suit emerged from the room holding a registry for recording items.

He saw the back of the figure standing in the living room, and his hand trembled slightly,

He tossed the registry aside without hesitating,

And from his waist grabbed a near-futuristic style assault rifle, aiming at the back.

"Stop,"

The agent shouted, "Don't move!"

His voice echoed in the room, and several other agents emerged from the master bedroom, second bedroom, and study, pointing their guns at Li Ang.

"Anomaly incident on the 20th floor of building three,"

The first agent slightly turned his head, whispering to the communication device, "Team A requests backup..."

Creak.

His foot rubbed against the floor glass shards, and the man in the living room calmly turned to meet the agents' gaze.

The face of an unknown, disheveled middle-aged man.

A sense of confusion instinctively arose in the agents' minds,

They had seen Li Ang's profile before the operation, but none of the photos or images matched the man's face.

"Special Affairs Bureau?"

The disheveled middle-aged man spoke, his voice fluctuating like a Doppler effect,

And his face, as if made of mud, melted and collapsed, finally solidifying into Li Ang's face.

"..."

A chill surged in the agent's heart, and his left hand quickly grabbed the bismuth metal column hanging at his waist.

Clang!!!

A mighty force hit him,

The agent felt an inexplicable violent shock in his palm, and the bismuth metal column was forcibly knocked from his hand, smashing against the wall and exploding into countless fragments,

At the center of the debris, a thin, sturdy steel nail was firmly embedded into the wall.

Li Ang, who casually threw the nail faster than it could be seen, maintained his gesture of raising his hand, calmly repeating the question, "Special Affairs Bureau?"

A strong sense of foreboding filled the agent's mind, as if the ordinary boy standing before him was a dark abyss devouring light and heat,

He resisted the instinctive urge to retreat and firmly pressed his finger on the trigger.

No flash, no gunshots,

The Special Affairs Bureau's equipment department had developed a Gauss assault rifle, silently ejecting a perfectly smooth, olive-shaped metal bullet.

The bullet, driven by powerful electromagnetic forces, darted out of the sleek barrel,

On it were esoteric symbols of the Heterodox Academy, capable of eliminating barriers, sealing Spiritual Power, and disarming enemies,

Even the fiercest monsters in the Demon Prison would lose their combat abilities once hit.

But only if it hit the target.

Boom!

A section of the wall outside building five suddenly exploded,

As the bricks flew, the living room only belatedly echoed the "whoosh" of the bullet cutting through air.

It did not hit.

Li Ang's body vanished instantly from his position,

The agent felt a gale slam into him, and the last scene he saw was Li Ang's cold face charging forward.

Boom! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

A fist crashed into the ceramic composite armor on the front of the heavy protective suit,

The agent's massive, weighty body flew backward, smashing through the entire wall along with debris and broken steel, falling into the bedroom.

Dust billowed, smoke filled the air,

The broken Tyrant Halberd whipped out from the smoke, its body bending into an arc under immense force, lashing at the chests of three other agents trying to shoot, slamming them into the wall.

A torrent of spiritual energy surged wildly, breeching the psychic defense devices worn by the other agents, directly infiltrating their minds.

[Inflict Pain]

[Paralysis Hint]

[Breathing Crisis]

The remaining standing survivors immediately became rigid, unable to muster any strength, watching helplessly as they and their companions slumped to the ground.

Step.

Li Ang stepped over the shattered ruins of the bedroom, grasped the collar of the agent, and effortlessly lifted his weakly breathing body up to face the communication device.

"..."

There was dead silence in the communication channel, and Li Ang breathed steadily, paused for a moment,

Casually discarded the agent whose countless bones had broken, and turned to look at the balcony.

A few seconds of changes were enough for the elite squad of the Special Affairs Bureau to react,

The armored vehicles parked below rapidly transformed, the tops automatically opening to the sides before a huge cannon rose,

Inside the five apartment buildings in front, the agents in black suits responsible for memory cleansing tossed aside their instruments.

Clatter.

The sound of the Brain Worm changing shape echoed from the study behind them, the Brain Worm, disguised as a bookshelf, ended its dormant state and transformed into a ferocious beast, silently crawling on the ground to welcome its master.

"Remain on standby."

Li Ang did not turn back, calmly dusting off the dirt on his body, stepping out onto the balcony and hovering in the air.

The menacing cannon barrels on the armored vehicles below stood tall,

Around the buildings, numerous agents in black suits shattered the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding firearms of all sizes on the balconies, aiming at the boy suspended in mid-air, like a flock of hawks encircling their prey.

"Li Ang, is it?"

A loud broadcast rang from the armored vehicle, "We're the Mobile Detachment, here to help..."

Li Ang plummeted like a meteor, his fist crashing into the ceramic composite armored vehicle's roof.

Boom!!

The alloy steel of the roof shattered like a chocolate bar, accompanied by the shrill sound of metal twisting,

Li Ang's figure flashed again, instantly appearing on top of another armored vehicle,

His hands grasped both sides of the parallel cannon barrel.

Rip——

The barrel was forcibly torn apart, exposing the densely packed electronic components below,

The broadcast voice ceased abruptly.
