Chapter 27: How to Know the 'Notorious Reputation' of Not Being a Blessing (Part 2)
The woman in white disappeared.
Lin Zuzu held the knife and ran like crazy.
Where?!
Where?!
Where ahhhhhhhhhhh?!!!!!
She walked through the deep corridor, opened the broken door, and faced the attack of the lone weirdo.
She looked for the multiple heat sources that appeared in her field of vision and found that they were all weird enemies.
Although not powerful, they are also unable to communicate.
Lin Zuzu had no time to contend with them, so he restrained his mood swings and tried his best to keep his knife-swinging movements accurate.
Suddenly, a breath appeared behind her.
She instinctively turned around and struck out with a knife, and found that the person coming was the woman in white who had disappeared, with long black hair covering most of her face.
but--
Not Elise.
The knife fell heavily.
Even the back of the knife would cause considerable damage to an ordinary woman.
Lin Zuzu gritted his teeth and controlled his left foot to take a step forward, abruptly changing the trajectory of the knife and barely grazing the woman's side.
Faced with the sudden attack, the woman reached out to grab the girl as if she was stimulated.
Lin Zuzu was unable to dodge due to the inertia of his movements, and had five shocking scratches on his face.
She was in pain and raised the knife again, but saw the woman shouting in horror as if she had regained consciousness: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Unlike other weirdos, she can communicate. Lin Zuzu thought and did not continue to attack with his knife.
The woman grabbed the corner of Lin Zuzu's clothes, trembling constantly, and murmured: "I didn't mean to do it, I'm sorry..."
When Li Qing arrived, he was unaware of the situation in front of him. He thought the girl was being attacked by a weirdo, so he jumped out of the way and knocked the pale woman unconscious.
"Are you okay?" Li Qing asked.
"I'm fine, senior."
Lin Zuzu lowered her head. As she gradually woke up, she realized that she had done something wrong——
Dazzled by hatred, he disobeyed his superior's orders.
"If this was an enemy trap, you would be dead by now."
Yi Tingxie, who had eliminated all the enemies, arrived with a cold voice and a serious and stern tone.
"Being disobedient and acting at will is tantamount to directly betraying your companions. Have you ever thought about how you would be held responsible if an accident happens to Li Qin who is left alone because of your impulsive actions?"
"I'm sorry, Master." Lin Zuzu really felt that he was wrong.
"Captain, she must also think that my sister is so strong..."
"Shut up, she is still half a member of the special operations team. Since she participates in the mission, she must be responsible for everyone's lives."
"Your availability for new assignments will be subject to availability."
Yi Tingxie coldly handed down the punishment decision.
Even though he is not the nominal captain now, Team 11 will naturally follow his orders.
And this means that she may miss the action to arrest Elise.
"I, I really know I was wrong, Master, I..."
Lin Zuzu shouted anxiously, but was stopped by Li Qing. He knew that it would be useless to talk more now. The captain's decision would not be changed easily just because he knew he was wrong.
Six years ago, when Li Qing, who was also 17 years old, joined the 11th team as an outstanding rookie, it was still a large action team with more than 30 people.
Although the captain is arrogant and domineering externally, he does not use force to convince others internally. He knows rewards and punishments clearly and is always on the front line.
Until... that happened.
Li Qin pushed up his glasses and walked over and said, "Now we need to count the number of people defeated. The people from the interrogation office will be here soon."
"34 people."——Li Qin.
"42 people."——Li Qing.
"91, probably." - Yi Tingxie.
Me, me...how many are there?
Lin Zuzu was only focused on chasing the woman along the way and did not count the number of people he knocked down.
"6 people." It had to be Li Qin. She also counted the weirdos who knocked down the girl on the way here.
After the team members from the Interrogation Division of the Intelligence Bureau arrived at the scene, they found that there were many suspects, so they simply surrounded an area in the open space outside the shantytown and concentrated on interrogating the group of people.
At first, those weirdos dressed as ordinary people were still speechless, but they became more honest after being taught a lesson.
As the time away from the shanty towns became longer, many people gradually woke up, but it still took a lot of time to confirm their identities one by one.
Except for the strange woman in white, all the weirdos are residents on the east side of the shanty town.
"Ouch, why does my neck hurt so much?" An uncle wailed, covering his swollen neck.
Lin Zuzu looked over and recognized by the location of the injury that it was the first person she had knocked down.
Except for the obvious trauma caused by the ordinary people she attacked with the back of her knife, the other three members of Team 11 were able to control the strength of their attacks.
Even Yi Tingxie and Li Qing didn't even pull out their knives, and the injured only had some bruises caused by blunt trauma at best.
I am still too weak, unable to control my strength, and have absolutely no strength left.
Lin Zuzu lowered his head.
But the girl had forgotten that not long ago, she was an ordinary person and could already wield decent basic sword skills and knock out an adult with the back of the sword.
Xie Lingfei from the Operations Division of the Intelligence Bureau walked up to the girl apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help."
After learning about the girl's tragic and desperate experience, his innate sense of justice made him volunteer to join the special intelligence team on the 615 case, searching for clues day and night.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xie." Lin Zuzu solemnly thanked him.
More than ten days have passed, and apart from the initial photos, only he has reported new clues.
Although this time it was not information about Elise, it allowed Team 11 to rush to the scene in time to solve this strange incident.
If they had not arrived, what kind of situation would these people in a strange state have caused, and what kind of disaster would they have caused?
"Ah, no, no." Xie Lingfei touched his head sheepishly.
"I'll have to rely on you for future information."
No matter how many times you are wrong, as long as it is true once...
Just once is enough.
"Yeah! I'll do my best!"
Xie Lingfei is as passionate as the kind-hearted, diligent but short-lived best friend of the protagonist in a juvenile comic.
The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the work of the interrogation office is coming to an end.
Overall, they didn't yield any useful clues.
The residents here didn't know what happened at night. They only knew that they woke up with back pain and inexplicable wounds on their bodies. They shouted to go home.
The interrogation office was unable to arrest so many people, so it could only seal off the area, report the existing information, and then decide how to place this group of people.
The woman in white was still asleep, and the interrogation office was preparing to take her back to the Intelligence Bureau for further investigation.
Of course, Li Qing felt that he had not acted so harshly.
Lin Zuzu found Li Qin who was taking advantage of every opportunity to write the mission report, and apologized guiltily to her: "Senior, I'm really sorry today. I was too impulsive."
"It doesn't matter. However, staying calm in battle is really what you need to master now."
Li Qin seemed to see more of the girl's purpose at a glance, so he bluntly told her the fact that the captain's order would not be revoked so easily.
"Well, I understand." Lin Zuzu lowered his head lonely.
"In addition, the 'everyone' mentioned by the captain also includes yourself."
What?
Lin Zuzu raised his head in confusion and suddenly understood the meaning of her words.
...are responsible for all lives.
She looked at the man not far away.
Yi Tingxie's slender figure stood facing the wind, her hair tied high swaying gently, and the gorgeous sword at her waist reflected the light in the rising sun.
He didn't know what he was thinking, he just smoked a cigarette calmly, his eyes falling into the distance.
Perhaps, that distant place transcends space and time, shining beyond life and death.
