The Hanzi (Man) couldn't help but smile, thinking about the attack those people launched not long ago.
"They're just fast-moving metal blocks; they can't do anything to me."
Those people used Magical Artifacts he didn't understand to fire small metal blocks; some of them pierced his skin, but that was all. He could even dig those little things out himself.
If it weren't for his apprehension about the number of people in this world, and the fact that he was alone and afraid of being surrounded, he would have already snapped all those guys' necks.
"Besides, they can't even catch up to me, so how could they kill me?"
He quickly escaped relying on a Jifeng Talisman, and in a short while, he had shaken off those annoying guys, leaving no trace of them.
But then again, the terrain of this Different World is truly strange and complex, with buildings made of stone everywhere. Weaving through them, he quickly became disoriented.
However, compared to him, those pursuers also became disoriented.
"That's not necessarily true..."
Su Xiaojiu muttered.
Ever since she learned that people in this world could create such terrifying weapons of mass destruction, the upper limit of this world had become very high in her eyes.
The Hanzi (Man)'s brow suddenly furrowed, and he sharply turned to look outside the internet cafe.
Faint siren sounds came from outside the internet cafe. The sound grew from distant to near, slowly becoming sharp and piercing, and in a short while, it stopped at the intersection of the internet cafe's street.
The Hanzi (Man) had already rushed out of the internet cafe's entrance, looking around the road ahead and behind. He found that all paths forward and backward were blocked, so he looked up at the sky.
At this moment, the roar of a helicopter's rotor blades also came from the sky. A police helicopter appeared dozens of meters above, and its high-powered searchlight swept the ground for a moment before locking onto the Hanzi (Man).
"Sir... Sir? Is your current situation inconvenient for speaking?"
An Chen picked up his phone, held it to his ear, and heard the operator's voice from the speaker.
"It's fine now. Your people are quite fast. This is the first time I've seen police dispatched before the call was even finished."
After speaking, An Chen hung up the phone.
Operator: "???"
Su Xiaojiu stood up, just about to run out from behind the counter to look, when An Chen pulled her back and shoved her under the counter.
After being picked up by the Hanzi (Man), her Stealth Talisman seemed to have failed, and An Chen could also see her.
"Don't go out; you'll be taken down with him."
An Chen had already glimpsed the street outside; not only ordinary criminal police but also special forces in black uniforms had arrived.
They were fully armed, carrying not small pistols that could only give Cultivator a scratch, but assault rifles and submachine guns.
An Chen moved two steps towards the door, poked his head out slightly, scanned his gaze, and immediately found the sniper team in the distance.
It was clear that the police took this Hanzi (Man) very seriously.
Based on his previous conversation with Su Xiaojiu, An Chen could also guess that this Hanzi (Man) had probably fought with the police before and then retreated.
It was no wonder the police had dispatched so many personnel.
"Net manager, what's going on?!"
The customers in the hall had already sensed that something was wrong, taking off their headphones one after another, and several people stood up and walked towards the service desk.
"It's very dangerous outside. Either hide well, or run out the back door."
An Chen glanced at these people, said simply, then also squatted down, only half his head exposed.
The police outside had already started shouting, and even fired two warning shots into the air. The customers in the internet cafe naturally understood that something serious had happened and fled towards the back door.
The back door of the internet cafe connected to a small alley. This door was originally for underage students to escape when police checked, but now it had become an escape route.
He squatted and walked to the computer playing surveillance footage, reaching out to operate it.
"What are you doing?"
The problematic girl asked again.
"Deleting surveillance."
An Chen's movements were swift. He quickly pulled up the historical surveillance footage from the camera behind the service desk and deleted the video from shortly after the Hanzi (Man) entered the shop.
An Chen looked up at the surveillance camera behind him, then turned to look at Su Xiaojiu.
"Break it, using your Cultivator' methods."
Su Xiaojiu didn't understand why, but she did it anyway.
Su Xiaojiu briefly condensed a flame in her palm to form a fireball. Su Xiaojiu even aimed carefully, then threw it.
The fireball hit the monitor squarely. The monitor's lens was immediately engulfed by flames, and after two faint explosions, it fell down.
"Next, hide well."
An Chen took out his phone again and dialed a string of numbers. After the call connected, a strange cry came from the other end.
"What the hell did you do to my internet cafe?!"
The person on the other end was his boss, and also one of the net managers who worked the day shift at this internet cafe, meaning the person who had just finished their shift.
He had only just left, and such a big incident had already happened at the internet cafe. He could even hear the piercing sirens from home.
"No big deal. A vicious criminal broke into your internet cafe and is now in a standoff with the police at the shop entrance."
An Chen poked his head out to look at the situation at the shop entrance.
The Hanzi (Man) had already taken his weapon from his back, untied the cloth, revealing a nine-ring broadsword inside.
He shook the blade, took a stance, and something invisible seemed to be surging around him. An Chen could sense that the Hanzi (Man)'s body muscles had tensed up, putting him in a combat state.
No matter how lightly he spoke before, encountering so many people, he should be panicking now.
"Damn it, where did so many come from!"
The Hanzi (Man) spat, his brows tightly furrowed.
What puzzled him even more was how these people had managed to catch up to him.
Isn't this world supposed to have thin Spiritual Qi and no Cultivator? There shouldn't be anyone capable of tracking him by his Qi!
The foot speed of ordinary people, and those metal shells, shouldn't be able to catch up!
"Aren't we running out the back door?"
Su Xiaojiu poked An Chen's shoulder and asked.
"No, this is valuable live data."
An Chen shook his head.
He really wanted to witness a Cultivator' battle firsthand.
The Hanzi (Man) had already run into the street. Although it was close, they shouldn't be affected.
"If anything changes, protect me."
Since they were of the same Rank, Su Xiaojiu helping to protect him should be no problem.
Su Xiaojiu also obediently nodded.
"Mm."
And then the boss's shouts came from the phone's speaker again.
"No big deal?! What do you mean 'no big deal'?! Are these fully armed police no big deal, or is my shop no big deal?!"
"I haven't run yet. I'm watching your shop. So far, there's been no loss."
The person on the other end breathed a sigh of relief.
"But."
The heart that had dropped now rose again.
"The camera behind the service desk is broken. Remember to find someone to fix it."
The heart that had risen finally stopped beating.
