At 2 AM, in the eastern part of the city, at Whispering Silver Bloom.
Whispering Silver Bloom is a shop that specializes in acquiring silver, then refining it into Mithril, Elixir Silver, and Pill Silver, which are then sold to customers.
Due to its characteristic of 'three years without opening, open once and eat for three years,' the shop is located on the second floor of an equipment store, with a very small storefront, but its interior is incredibly deep. Though a sparrow may be small, it has all its internal organs; it not only has an alchemy room and a refining room but also a massive silver storage vault.
Tonight, a group of extraordinary individuals who had fled from Rong City set their sights on Whispering Silver Bloom's silver vault.
Speaking of this group, they truly were all talented individuals. They already had outstanding warrants against them. Because of the Alienated Insect incident in Silver City, Rong City began a city-wide physical examination. Fearing exposure, they fled outside the city.
The group deliberated and concluded that the most dangerous place was the safest place. So, after Silver City's lockdown ended, they snuck into Silver City.
If they successfully stole a large amount of silver from Whispering Silver Bloom and then slipped out of the city overnight, the money earned from this operation would be enough for them to remain at large for a long time.
Such itinerant crimes are often very difficult to investigate. Without Yu Xian, the probability of this group succeeding would be very high.
However, Yu Xian was currently sitting above Whispering Silver Bloom, waiting for them to fall into his trap.
He was completely black and non-reflective, so no one looking up would notice him.
Meanwhile, in a tall building a thousand meters away from Whispering Silver Bloom, Zhang Shou and Gong Qian were holding binoculars, also observing the movements around Whispering Silver Bloom.
Additionally, on the utility pole to the right of Whispering Silver Bloom, Bluebird was perched in bird form on top of the pole, equally inconspicuous.
Just then, a van drove over from the front and stopped beside the utility pole. Five minutes later, five people got out of the car and furtively walked towards the alley next to the equipment store.
At the end of the alley, to the right, was a door.
One of the men placed his hand on the door, and the door immediately warped, revealing a large hole in the middle, big enough for an adult to pass through.
“We can make our move now,” Yu Xian said with a smile upon seeing this scene.
The act of the perpetrators destroying the door was already considered irrefutable evidence in the world of extraordinary individuals, so Yu Xian and his team didn't need to wait for them to enter the shop before acting.
In fact, different countries have varying attitudes towards extraordinary criminals. In some countries, extraordinary individuals are very rare, and even criminals are treated leniently, for example, by being taken for breeding.
However, since the emergence of extraordinary individuals, China's stance on extraordinary crime has never changed: strict and severe. Faced with extraordinary criminals for whom the evidence is conclusive, the Warriors' Police Force has the unlimited authority to use force. Simply put, if they are killed, they deserved it.
It was precisely because domestic laws were stricter on extraordinary individuals that Yu Xian and Zhang Shou, when they were still ordinary people, had never been harassed or bullied by extraordinary individuals.
At this moment, Bluebird, hearing Yu Xian's words, made the first move.
She swooped down from the top of the utility pole, then transformed into human form the moment she entered the alley, kicking one of the criminals at three times the speed of sound. The criminal's ribs immediately let out a crisp crack, and he was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall at the end of the alley.
“Oh no, it’s the cops! Run!”
The other four criminals' faces changed drastically. Three of them ran out of the alley, while the criminal who had just opened the door gritted his teeth and fled inside the door.
The three ran out of the alley; one ran to the left, and the other two rushed towards the van.
Boom!
Gong Qian then whistled down from the sky, her small body possessing great energy.
She crashed onto the van, causing the entire vehicle to explode instantly, burning with raging flames.
The two criminals, watching Gong Qian from afar, standing on the burning vehicle, not only ignoring the flames but also cracking her knuckles, decisively and skillfully crouched down, covering their heads.
They couldn't afford to provoke this violent little girl.
Another criminal hadn't run fifty meters before a bullet struck the ground in front of him. He immediately froze, then one bullet after another kept hitting the ground. He trembled like a sieve and quickly raised his hands in surrender.
In the distance, Zhang Shou held a sniper rifle, looking helpless. He had aimed for the opponent's legs but didn't hit a single shot.
Inside Whispering Silver Bloom, the masked criminal charged forward frantically, simultaneously searching for a window to escape.
Suddenly, he saw someone standing upside down on the ceiling. Before he could react, his neck was seized from behind, and his world spun. When he regained his senses, he was already on the road outside Whispering Silver Bloom.
He was still sprawled on the ground, his head being stepped on.
“You’d best not move, or you'll suffer the consequences,” Yu Xian warned, stepping on the man.
His appearance on the ceiling wasn't for showing off; it was because the bubble he had placed in Whispering Silver Bloom beforehand was on the ceiling. If he didn't want to fall to the ground upon exiting that bubble, he could only adhere energy to the soles of his feet, allowing himself to stick to the ceiling.
The subsequent combat process was simple: control a tiny bubble to fly behind the criminal, then teleport himself there to grab the criminal's neck, and then teleport to the street.
The criminal felt dizzy because there was no gravity inside the bubble, and it was also caused by oxygen deprivation from Yu Xian gripping his neck.
Next, after handcuffing the five individuals with super-alloy handcuffs, Yu Xian contacted Zhang Kai to come and take them away.
The five criminals squatted against the wall. Yu Xian and the others gathered. Zhang Shou complained, “Is that it? I thought they’d be some extremely vicious guys.”
“Since they’ve been caught, I’m going back to sleep,” Gong Qian said with a yawn.
Yu Xian nodded, “Okay, Vice-Captain, you’ve worked hard.”
“Mhm, you’ve worked hard too. Bye-bye,” Gong Qian mumbled, her eyelids starting to droop.
She rarely stayed up late; to grow taller, she had always maintained a regular sleep schedule in the past. It was very, very rare for her to be awake past 2 AM.
Bluebird was a bit worried about Gong Qian, so she said goodbye to Yu Xian and Zhang Shou and returned to the office dormitory with Gong Qian.
Neither of them owned a house in Silver City, so they were currently staying in the office dormitory, which were the same few dorm rooms where Yu Xian had stayed with Zhang Shou.
After Gong Qian and Bluebird left, the criminals' eyes began to subtly communicate.
In fact, they feared Gong Qian the most. The power to smash a van with her rear end and remain completely unharmed made them realize that even if they used their ultimate trump cards, they would be no match for Gong Qian.
But apart from Gong Qian, the remaining Yu Xian and Zhang Shou didn't seem particularly strong. If they used their hidden cards, they might not be unable to deal with them.
Five against two, the odds were greatly in their favor.
Should they do it?
They did it!
The five reached a consensus through their eyes, then one burly criminal roared and stood up, ramming his hands into Yu Xian beside him.
Because everyone was leaning against the wall, after Yu Xian dodged, his handcuffed hands directly smashed through the wall.
Another criminal quickly came behind the burly criminal, took out a syringe from the fanny pack behind him, and inserted the syringe into the burly criminal's back.
After being injected with an unknown drug, all the muscles on the burly criminal's body turned red, and then his physique rapidly expanded, breaking the alloy handcuffs on the spot.
