Volume 2: Law Enforcers of the City that Never Sleeps
It is the duty of law enforcers to hold on to the embers of the past and keep watch for the light in the darkness.
94.Dark Demon
Liu Ming is an impartial law enforcement captain and a good man with a sense of justice. He takes care of his wife and children, cares about his subordinates, and takes his work seriously. In a peaceful society, he is the good family man that everyone wants.
Such a model captain had just delivered an inspiring speech and was humming a pleasant tune on his way home, holding a box of delicious pastries made with fresh cream in his hand.
Today is his seven-year-old daughter's birthday.
After the catastrophe fifty years ago, food became an extremely rare resource, and prices skyrocketed. Not to mention delicious food, even grains that could barely be eaten became a luxury.
People in the city have always relied on the injection of nutritional medicines to survive. If they get sick, they will directly inject nutrients into the blood. Even Liu Ming himself has forgotten the last time he ate well?
But today is his daughter's birthday.
He is just such a child. In order to snap up this box of pastries, Liu Ming spent nearly half a year's savings, but he did not regret it because he had seen his daughter's sincere smile after eating sweets.
As long as he can see that innocent smiling face, he will be motivated to continue working hard tomorrow.
"As long as all the Divine Fire Cultists disappear and the core of the Babel Tower evolves again, according to the royal family's revelation, it will no longer be a dream to return the Nightless City to its former prosperity."
As long as he can return to the fertile time of the past, food and famine will no longer exist. For this reason, whether as the captain of the law enforcement team or as a citizen of the Evernight City, he has the obligation to hunt down the Shenhuo cultists.
No matter how cruel the hunting method is, no matter how close someone is awakened to the uncontrollable flame blessing, Liu Ming will have the consciousness to kill it with his own hands.
For Xiao Liu’s smile!
With such firm confidence, Liu Ming reached out and opened the door of his home, ready to receive greetings from the safe haven.
However, the atmosphere in this haven today seems a little different.
Quiet room.
I saw a figure in a pure black suit slowly raising his hand, looking at Liu Ming with deep and ruthless eyes, and the other hand, in the shape of five claws, was placed on the face of Liu Ming's daughter.
"do not move."
A hoarse voice with irresistible power crushed the suddenly violent Liu Ming to the ground.
"Wise judgment, because before you take out the nuclear armor, my five fingers will penetrate this girl's skull first, and then another living life will be lost."
Looking at Liu Ming who did not dare to act, the figure in black smiled slowly.
"Who are you? You broke into the law enforcement captain's home and kidnapped my daughter. What is your purpose?"
Seeing that his daughter's life was in the hands of others, Liu Ming immediately did not dare to act rashly. He could only roar loudly and helplessly, and at the same time secretly dialed the locator hidden in his spine, hoping that some companions would come here for support.
The figure in black seemed to have noticed Liu Ming's little move, but he didn't know whether he was powerful or fearless. He did not stop Liu Ming, but continued to speak in a hoarse voice.
"If you want your wife and children to survive, just do as I say. First, sign here..."
What the figure in black asked Liu Ming to do was also very simple, which was to sign a contract called "Enlisting the Law Enforcement Team," which is also commonly known as the back door.
As long as there is the recommendation of the law enforcement captain, it is equivalent to the royal family's password. Even outsiders with no connections can legally bring relatives and friends into the law enforcement team's organization.
"Is this okay?"
Trying his best to calm his trembling hands, Liu Ming completed the signature with difficulty. He glanced at his wife and children from the corner of his eye. The middle-aged woman with a calm face seemed to be sleeping peacefully, but there was a white sharp knife hanging high on the roof, with a rope.
The switch restrained the woman's carotid artery. As long as a sharp blade was used to cut the rope, tragedy would occur.
The switch of the sharp blade is in the hands of the figure in black.
Liu Ming thought of killing the man in black more than once, but the man in black was very cautious. From the beginning to the end, his five fingers did not leave Liu Ming's daughter's face, which made Liu Ming hesitate several times, but in the end he still obeyed the other party's instructions.
task.
"Bring out your medals and uniform."
Faced with the situation of his daughter becoming a hostage, Liu Ming could only do as he was told.
With extreme reluctance, the man in black asked about Liu Ming's birthday, household registration, height and measurements and other personal information. Although Liu Ming was extremely angry, he still complied with the man in black's request in consideration of his family.
More than ten minutes passed like this, and the rope had already made a deep mark on Liu Ming's wife's neck. The man in black seemed to have gotten the information he wanted and stopped questioning Liu Ming.
"Very good, it's almost finished..."
The man in black whispered in a hoarse voice and let go of Liu Ming's daughter.
"Xiao Liu!"
Liu Ming immediately pounced forward, quickly and gently hugged his daughter into his arms, and quickly activated the nuclear weapons on his body, intending to kill the man in black.
The law enforcement captain who activated his nuclear armor, each punch contained the power of dozens of Big Ivans that exploded together. With his flesh and blood alone, he could blast any enemy into pieces.
That's how it should be.
But in the next scene, Liu Ming's pupils shrank in disbelief, and he watched helplessly as the fist he swung out was caught by a flat and open palm, and not even the hem of the man in black could shake.
Obviously, the other party accepted the move with great ease.
"Five years ago, you caught a father in the same way."
As his palms tightened, the man in black slowly exerted force, gradually crushing Liu Ming's finger bones covered with nuclear weapons into powder.
"That father, like you, had a warm family, but because of the blessing of the flame that he accidentally awakened, you burned his whole family down. He himself was also exposed to a large amount of nuclear radiation and died in pain. His hands were pinched alive by you.
broken."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ignoring Liu Ming's painful wailing, the man in black spoke calmly, his tone was terrifyingly calm.
"Four years ago, a little girl from a poor family awakened the ability to drill wood to make fire. You knew that it was not a blessing ability, but because you were attracted to the girl's appearance, you broke the girl's legs in front of everyone.
Take off all your clothes and let the girl die in the square."
As the story continued, the man in black casually broke Liu Ming's calf.
Still ignoring the law enforcement captain who screamed in pain, the man in black continued to speak in a calm tone:
"Three years ago, a colleague in the army awakened the power of fire and instinctively became your superior through legal means. However, because of jealousy, you immersed the other person in a strong acid solution, causing the person's ability to lose control, and was judged to be a divine fire cultist.
die."
"Two years ago, a young man awakened the ability to use flame sculptures... I don't need to tell you what happened?"
"..."
"Three weeks ago, the great Captain Liu carried out the so-called justice as usual. At that time, the target was a retired soldier, but there were sparks in his hands on the way home from get off work. He was not even sure whether he had the ability to bless. And In order to ensure that you can subdue the other party, you use your family as a threat, just like what happened today, to make the other party give up resistance and die."
"Then, you didn't let go of the other person's wife and children. You took a fancy to the beauty of the other person's family, so you enjoyed it. After tasting the taste of mother and daughter, in the name of justice, you burned everyone in the house to death.
.”
Listing Liu Ming's great achievements one by one, the man in black sneered: "Law enforcement captain Liu Ming, in order to satisfy your so-called justice, you have really done many incredible things!"
"You also said it was for justice."
Even though the past crimes were explained one by one, Liu Ming, who was lying on the ground, remained unmoved and asked sternly: "Everyone knows that as long as you are a Shenhuo cultist, you will no longer be regarded as a citizen of the Nightless City and will lose the corresponding basic rights."
Right, how to deal with these people is my authority as a law enforcement member! Everything I do is justice!"
"So, what if your daughter awakens to be blessed?"
Liu Ming was stunned.
The restraints on his body were released, and his notified partners were about to rush to the scene to provide support, but Liu Ming saw an extremely desperate scene.
Xiao Liu's clean body actually lit up a string of eternal black fire!
The black fire continued to burn, bypassing Liu Ming, and burned the rope hanging in the air in one breath.
The sharp blade fell.
A life-threatening rope like a steel rope instantly tightened the woman's body.
"Xiao Liu..."
As the invisible black fire burned on his beloved wife's body, Liu Ming raised his gun and aimed at the young figure, but then lowered the muzzle, unable to pull the trigger.
That's his daughter!
Even though she has awakened the ability to lose control, she is still his daughter!
Can he really shoot that innocent and romantic little girl who is about to celebrate her seventh birthday?
"Why not shoot?"
At this moment, the voice of the man in black sounded again, but it sounded more like the whisper of a devil.
"She is a divine fire cultist. She was the one you swore to eradicate when you joined the law enforcement team. She is no longer your daughter, and she even burned your beloved wife to death. Shouldn't you hesitate at this time?"
"What's wrong? Why don't you shoot?"
"If you don't shoot, your companion will shoot for you~"
As if to confirm the words of the man in black, at the same time, the door was violently kicked open, and the rescue Liu Ming had called for before finally arrived belatedly.
"Captain Liu!"
The loyal law enforcement team members appeared and surrounded Liu Ming. The young team members at the front raised their guns and asked the little girl who was burning with fire to open fire.
"stop!"
Liu Ming stopped these people with a hysterical roar.
"Let me do it with my own hands..."
Raising his trembling hands, Liu Ming slowly raised the black muzzle of the gun and pointed it at the human match in front of him.
As long as the fire is fired, the eternal black fire will disappear, and the flame will be extinguished after the death of the divine fire blesser. This is a fact that has long been proven.
The sooner he shoots, the better chance his beloved wife will be saved.
As long as you shoot, all misfortunes can be undone, and the so-called justice can be carried out.
"But……"
Finally, the tears rolled down unsatisfactoryly.
That's his daughter!
Even if his body burns with eternal black fire, he is still Xiao Liu!
Liu Ming could not shoot his own daughter.
At his feet, the carefully prepared fresh cream pastry gradually turned into a pile of mud as the black fire spread.
"By the way, if that girl doesn't die within three seconds, she will turn into a bomb and destroy everything within a radius of three hundred miles."
Bang bang bang...
The sound of countless ammunition being fired sounded.
Seeing that their captain was still unwilling to shoot, the team members couldn't help it, and the bullets with annihilating power slammed into the little girl's body, exploding her into a black fireball.
Also destroyed was the woman whose eyes turned white in the black fire.
The rotten cakes on the ground were instantly evaporated by the high temperature generated by the nuclear weapons.
"You...you devil!"
Liu Ming collapsed.
Reason prompted him not to attack his companions, but with black fire all over his body, he launched a desperate charge towards the man in black.
"I am not a devil, but a black fire god sent by God. I forgot to tell you that if you shoot the blessings given by the black fire god, the power of self-destruction will be at least ten times greater than an active explosion."
With a whistle, the black fireball began to turn into a shock wave.
Liu Ming's eyes turned red.
Even though he lost his mind, the last remaining sense of justice still prompted him to activate his nuclear weapons with all his strength and try his best to offset the power of the explosion.
A raging flame burst into the sky, and a delicate pastry cloud slowly rose into the sky. Its shape was exactly the same as the box of pastries Liu Ming bought for his daughter.
Among the hundreds of elite law enforcement teams, only one soldier survived, and the news that that soldier brought back became the beginning of the spread of the name Black Vulcan.
