Fang Xin's expression was cold.
The long-faced man's wrist was gripped by Fang Xin.
He tried to pull his hand back but found the young man's strength unusually great.
"Oh, what the heck? You're an Awakened, and you're trying to resist arrest! I now have reason to suspect you're a Variant! Show me your ID!"
The people nearby immediately surrounded Fang Xin.
The old woman quickly said, "Officer, this child has been stubborn since he was little, he's really not resisting arrest. Quick, quick, let go of the officer and apologize to him!"
"Apologize to your mother! I now have reason to suspect you're an accomplice of a Variant! You're all going to be arrested and taken back for interrogation!" The long-faced man said coldly, about to kick the old woman.
Fang Xin, with a cold expression, pulled out his zhilian device and scanned the long-faced man.
"Yu Qiang, Chief of Xingquan City Police Station, badge number..."
Before he finished speaking, the long-faced man shivered in fear. After clearly seeing the zhilian device in Fang Xin's hand, and the Nine Dragon Seal representing the Ninth Division on the zhilian device, he couldn't help but swallow, lick his lips, and snap to attention.
"Greetings, Officer!"
The surrounding police officers who were about to arrest Fang Xin and the old woman also snapped to attention upon seeing this.
The Sky Shield Bureau's privileges were quite extensive within the official system, and the Ninth Division within the Sky Shield Bureau had even greater privileges. Police station members had to show great respect when encountering someone from the Sky Shield Bureau.
How could they have imagined that the young man before them was from the Ninth Division.
The old woman nearby was also stunned.
If an ordinary person were taken away by the police and accused of endangering public safety, they would surely suffer greatly, and in the end, they would have to humbly beg and spend money to resolve the issue. That's why she wanted to help Fang Xin just now, but she hadn't expected this young man to have an official identity, and a rather high one at that.
The zhilian device in Fang Xin's hand tapped Yu Qiang's chest.
"Is this how you maintain public order?"
Yu Qiang forced a smile, "Officer, you also know how hateful Variants can be. We're just trying to protect public property and safety, and being more cautious isn't a bad thing!"
"Apologize to the old woman!"
Yu Qiang immediately led his men to bow ninety degrees and apologize to the old woman, "We're sorry, ma'am!"
The old woman quickly waved her hand, indicating it was fine.
Fang Xin turned his head to look at the old woman, smiling slightly at her, "Ma'am, please go back now!"
The old woman was still a bit dazed, clearly not expecting the young man's status to be so high that even these police officers had to bow and scrape.

After seeing the old woman off, Yu Qiang bowed, "Officer, why are you alone? Are you new here and unfamiliar with the area? Would you like me to contact someone from the local Sky Shield Bureau's Second Division? I can lead the way!"
"No need!"
Yu Qiang quickly nodded and bowed, "Then you must be here on a mission! I understand, I definitely won't ask what I shouldn't! If you need anything, we're on standby!"
"Continue your patrol!"
"Yes, Officer!"
Looking at the people in front of him, Fang Xin just shook his head. There were too many unfair things in this world; those with power and influence were the masters.
Fang Xin no longer paid attention to them. Holding the zhilian device, its virtual screen scanned the surroundings.
Like a thermal imager, the zhilian device identified everyone still lingering on the street.
At this moment, there were very few people on the street.
In such a large city, there were only about a hundred people on the streets at night.
So, with one scan, he knew how many people were on the street.
Patrols generally walked in groups.
The zhilian device could also analyze the talent of each person it scanned.
Based on Ximen Boguang's previous modus operandi, this multi-functional plug-in always committed crimes outdoors. He would use mental attacks to control his targets, play with them, then kill them, dress the corpses in beautiful clothes, pose them in fixed positions, and finally leave.
Four women and three men had been killed so far.
He really didn't discriminate between meat and vegetables.
Fang Xin moved back and forth, scanning everyone still on the street. Fortunately, he also had a perception-type talent, so observing was not very difficult.
However, his current perception-type level was still a bit low. If he could reach level four, he would be able to set up a perception net with his mental power, and at that time, it would be much easier to detect enemies.
More than an hour passed in a flash.
Fang Xin's gaze suddenly fixed in one direction.
He saw a figure furtively carrying a woman and walking in a certain direction.
That direction was a bit familiar; it was the old woman's shop.
Through the zhilian device, he saw that the person had already carried her into the shop.
Fang Xin double-tapped the virtual screen, and the figure inside the shop also appeared; it was the kind-hearted old woman.
As soon as she entered, the old woman collapsed to the ground.
After that, the person threw the woman he was carrying onto the ground, seeming hungry, and started looking for food inside the shop.
Fang Xin quickly headed in that direction.
As he walked.
Through the zhilian device, Fang Xin saw the police officers he had encountered earlier meeting with another patrol team.
Yu Qiang, with his baton tucked under his arm, was discussing with a few subordinates where to grab a drink later.
Seeing a small team approaching, he immediately stood at attention, "Team Leader Ma!"
The leader of the approaching team responded with a sound, "No abnormal situations, right?"
Yu Qiang shook his head, "Nothing abnormal!"
"That's good! You've worked hard!"
"Oh, there is something." Yu Qiang seemed to remember something, "When I was on patrol just now, I met a young man, he's also from your Sky Shield Bureau, and from the Ninth Division."
"From the Ninth Division?" Ma Wenbing paused, then turned to look at the people behind him, "Someone from the Ninth Division came?"
"Didn't hear anything about it."
Yu Qiang continued, "That kid didn't look very old, probably just a teenager. I think he's probably a new recruit this year."
Ma Wenbing looked left and right, "New recruit? What's he doing here?"
Yu Qiang recalled, "From his appearance, it looked like he was on a mission!"
"Alone, on a mission? What kind of mission could we have here that would require a new recruit from the Ninth Division?"
A subordinate behind him thought for a moment, "Could it be for Ximen Boguang?"
"A new recruit? For Ximen Boguang? This year's new recruits have only been in school for two weeks, right? Within two weeks, someone can take on Ximen Boguang, who has a level four combat power? That's ridiculous!"
"Brother Ma, that's the Ninth Division!"
Ma Wenbing curled his lips, "The Ninth Division is also ridiculous! I also graduated from Sky Shield Academy, and there's never been anyone with level four combat power two weeks into school! Bragging without thinking!"
Yu Qiang said with a fawning smile, "Brother Ma, you never know, right? The Ninth Division is known as the legendary monster room, so it's not impossible that there's someone really impressive among the new recruits who came to kill a level four combatant."
Ma Wenbing curled his lips, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and patrol. After the patrol, go back and rest."
The two teams separated.
When they were two streets away from the shop, Ma Wenbing pulled out his phone.
"Oh no, I forgot to buy something for my daughter. You guys go ahead, I'll call my daughter and ask what she wanted me to buy!"
He dialed the number.
Before long, a man's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Team Leader Ma, I just got ready, and your call came. Tonight will definitely be very 'smooth,' right here at this place called Hongmei Supermarket. Come and have some fun!"
"Not tonight. My subordinates said a new recruit from the Ninth Division is here on a mission, and he might be after you!"
The person on the other end of the phone paused, then laughed, "A new recruit? Coming for me? Are you joking or serious?"
"My subordinates said so. That person wouldn't lie to me, so it should be true!"
"Use your Sky Shield Bureau zhilian device to scan him and see where he is!"
Ma Wenbing scanned with his zhilian device, "He's from the Ninth Division. My authority can't scan members of the Ninth Division! You should leave early!"
"What? Are you afraid he can kill me? That's hilarious. A new recruit can kill me? Then I, Ximen Boguang, haven't lived all these years for nothing! Even a new recruit from the Ninth Division can't kill me, so don't worry, I'll definitely put him in his place!"
Ma Wenbing sternly reprimanded, "Stop talking nonsense! Get back early! If a new recruit from the Ninth Division has an issue here, the higher-ups will definitely investigate thoroughly, and I won't be able to protect you then!"
"Got it, got it. I'll leave after I'm done. Wait a minute, it seems someone really is coming. One person, a kid who hasn't even fully grown, holding a zhilian device. Heh, he really is a greenhorn!"
Ma Wenbing immediately said, "Leave now, or it will be very troublesome!"
"There's only one door, and I don't have earth-attribute talent to phase through walls, so an encounter is inevitable!"
Ma Wenbing was silent for a few seconds.
"Then you fight him. Remember, be careful not to kill him. I'll bring people over now and pretend to rescue him. You can escape in the chaos, and I can even do him a favor!"
