"Leave?"

Li Ang raised an eyebrow at those words, crossing his arms in front of him, "Leave to where?"

"To the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters."

The agent with the red tie put away the file and said calmly, "Considering that you carry divinity,

and you have been doubly verified by our colleague Su Ni Sheng in the department and the results from these glasses..."

He lifted his hand and gently tapped the ordinary-looking glasses on his nose bridge, "Your strength should be quite decent,

and you should have a certain level of understanding of the basic rules of the Killing Field game and the procedures of the Special Affairs Bureau.

We won't let malicious criminals disrupting social order and endangering the lives and property of citizens get away,

nor will we judge arbitrarily, nor sanction randomly.

Fairness, justice, abiding by the rules, respecting human rights.

Please come back with us to assist in our investigation, and our department will do its utmost to ensure you get a fair outcome."

"A fair outcome?"

Li Ang grinned as if he'd heard something amusing, "I don't know whether to say you're inflexible and bureaucratic,

or that your deadpan rigidity is comparable to a robot.

For some criminals unworthy of life, you dare to arrest a player of unknown strength carrying divinity in a neighborhood and apartment building."

"First of all, our actions are not for former criminals like Qi Lianxiang, but for order and justice."

The young agent in a red tie adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "In fact, even without you,

as the Skynet System becomes more advanced and more closely integrated with the criminal investigation system,

some longstanding cold cases that lack manpower and clues can be taken over by intelligent AI systems,

reopened for investigation through big data calculation and rational allocation of manpower,

to find suspects in old cases from years ago, decades ago, and give them fair trials.

Besides, locating and hunting you down wasn't as difficult as you imagine.

On a personal note, all your efforts as an ordinary person were quite professional,

but once we focus on you, even if it's just a suspicion, everything about your past can be known to us—there aren't that many secrets in the internet age,

we can trace all your past records, gather clues, and piece together your experiences as both an ordinary person and player.

And now..."

He casually pointed to the eight metal pillars forming the barrier, saying, "These anchoring devices developed by the equipment department have undergone rigorous testing; even a high-level player,

would have their combat power reduced to an unacceptable degree within this area.

Moreover, we have this..."

The agent with the red tie took out handcuffs and shackles from the void, similar to the equipment Li Ang saw last time from the Special Affairs Bureau,

now these handcuffs and shackles are silvery white, metallic, with a gentle red flow on the surface, looking much more advanced.

"Personally, there's no need to make things ugly, it's good for both of us."

The agent with the red tie said warmly, "So, what do you think?"

"...I can go with you, but,"

Li Ang frowned in thought for a moment and then said slowly, "I want to talk to Wang Congshan first."

"Hmm?"

The agent with the red tie raised an eyebrow in slight surprise; according to their intelligence department's profile, Li Ang, who lacks empathy, is supposed to be someone who uses any means to achieve his goals,

not expecting him to think of Wang Congshan first when he himself was in captivity.

"Sorry, that's not possible."

The agent with the red tie shook his head, "Our department has invited Comrade Xiao Wang to assist us in our work, as you can probably agree, she is just an unrelated bystander in this matter..."

"I want to talk to Wang Congshan first."

Li Ang said slowly, word by word, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, "If you can't decide, then let your superior do it.

Otherwise, I won't cooperate in any way."

"..."

The agent with the red tie frowned slightly, sizing up Li Ang.

The glasses he wore can, when locked on, display a general combat power rating of a living being; it is standard equipment issued to frontline agents by the Special Affairs Bureau, and in most cases, the detection results are fairly accurate.

On the detection interface of the glasses, Li Ang's estimated combat power isn't high,

which aligns with what the intelligence department detected through the Sky Eye System.

At least it's still within the capabilities of all present agents.

However, it's best not to make a move unless necessary—even a 0.01% chance isn't worth the risk with divine creatures; their upper and lower limits can vary greatly.

After all, this isn't some desolate wilderness.

"Hold on."

The agent with the red tie turned around, had a conversation with a communication device, then turned back to Li Ang.

"Comrade Xiao Wang is willing to talk to you, and this request has been approved by our department."

The agent handed a palm-sized communication device into the barrier, cautioning, "However, the communication channel used by this device is encrypted and protected,

any skills and special effects of equipment cannot be used through the communication device."

Li Ang wasted no words and did not explain to outsiders his unwillingness to blame Wang Congshan, which both of them understood through their tacit understanding, having anticipated roughly the situation.

"Huff..."

Li Ang picked up the communication device, exhaled slowly, and brought it to his ear, "Hello."

"Hello."

From the other end of the communication device came Wang Congshan's slightly trembling voice, the background noise unchanged.

"..."

Li Ang remained silent for a moment, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

In the interrogation room at the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters, Wang Congshan pursed her lips, avoided her parents' gaze, turned to cover the communication device, nervously wiped her eyes and slightly reddened nose, and whispered, "They, they didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"No~thing~"

Li Ang grinned, "Don't you know my strength? There's always a way, anytime.

Don't worry, it's just a minor issue."

"Okay."

Wang Congshan paused for a moment, as if suddenly recalling something, stammering, "They said there was something really important, and then showed me a bunch of stuff, and wanted me to call you, I..."

"I understand, I don't blame you."

Li Ang said slowly, "When you mentioned the broken bicycle bell, you were actually hinting at me, right.

I almost forgot, that my broken bike didn't even have a bell.

Hehe."

He paused for a moment, sensing the odd silence of the moment, and said softly, "Those things, I indeed, probably did do them."

"..."

Silence fell over the other end of the communication device.

"The whole thing, um, to speak of it is rather complicated."

Li Ang scratched his head, "However, I never intended to deceive you, nor did I ever plan to use you as a disguise to hide my identity.

I've always been genuine with you.

Uh, somehow that sounds weird."

Li Ang smacked his lips, his eyes flickering, "Ahem, in any case, let's talk face-to-face later.

I'll explain to you then."
