Chapter 178 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (31)
Si Yan immediately understood what Shi Qi wanted to express, and his expression became serious: "Zhong Liyu..." His succession as base commander had not yet been announced, and the guards in the base probably wouldn't listen to him, so Zhong Liyu could only give the order first.
Zhong Liyu nodded and sent out the communication as quickly as possible, ordering the guards who were nearby to immediately go to the forensic department and Zhong Yihuan's morgue to ensure the safety of both places.
Si Yan: "To prevent any situations that the guards can't handle... He Chiyan, you take your team to the forensic doctor."
He Chiyan accepted the order and led his team out of Zhongli Yu's residence with great speed and efficiency.
He looked at Zhong Liyu and said, "My teammates and I are going to the morgue; if anything happens here, contact us and we'll be back as soon as possible."
Zhongli Yu: "Okay, be careful."
----
The group rushed toward the morgue, but before they even arrived, Shi Qi's noses kicked in from afar: "I smell blood."
Such a smell undoubtedly indicated that they had arrived too late; however, Si Yan believed that they could not draw conclusions until they saw it with their own eyes.
So, he subconsciously urged, "Everyone, go faster!" His voice was slightly unsteady from running.
Shi Qi could hear the urgency in his voice: "I'll go there first. I'm fast, maybe I can stop them."
Si Yan frowned: "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. We can't even be sure how many of them there are."
Shi Qi said, "I can hear that the number should not exceed ten; moreover, you know, with my special abilities, Sun Donghang may not be my match." In order not to cause any unforeseen complications and prolong his mission, Shi Qi could only disappoint Si Yan's concerns.
Si Yan was still worried: "You said it yourself, it's 'should,' what if you can't handle it?"
"Let him go, Si Yan." Jiang Weilan's voice came from behind. His voice was noticeably uneven, clearly indicating that he didn't have Si Yan's stamina.
"Shi Qi is right. Letting him stop the people is indeed the only way to catch the murderer right now."
Si Yan continued running, remaining silent for a long time. After a moment, he clicked his tongue softly and said, "Go ahead, try not to confront them head-on, and... be careful."
Jiang Weilan always seemed to be able to say the most "fair" things, leaving no room for his little selfishness to hide.
"Fate Value -10"
He started to walk, then sped up and ran out of the group, quickly disappearing from Si Yan's sight.
As it turned out, the decision was indeed quite correct. When Shi Qi arrived at the morgue, he happened to see a group of people swaggering out of it, seemingly not worried at all about being discovered.
The leader was none other than Sun Donghang, who had recently been electrocuted and unable to move.
As soon as he stepped out, he bumped into Shi Qi. Sun Donghang hadn't forgotten the kick he'd received, and instinctively took a half-step back.
But soon, he stopped. Especially when he realized that the person who had been there was only one person, while he had a full ten, he became bolder and even took two more steps forward.
Shi Qi coldly questioned, "What are you doing here?"
Sun Donghang felt a strange sense of pressure from his gaze, but to maintain his image, he showed no sign of being pressured: "Shouldn't I be asking you that? Besides, it's none of your business where I go, you're a newcomer."
Shi Qi was not affected by his condescending attitude at all and continued to ask, "What did you do? I smell blood."
At the mention of "the smell of blood," a hint of guilt flashed in Sun Donghang's eyes, but it was quickly masked by his menacing gaze: "None of your business! If you don't want to die, don't block my way!"
Sensing Sun Donghang's obvious anger, the ten guards behind him simultaneously drew their weapons. Although their weapons were different, Shi Qi had no doubt that if he didn't move aside, all of these weapons would be aimed at him in the next moment.
But he can't step aside now; he has to at least hold out until Si Yan arrives. His "level five" ability isn't much of a threat to them, but Si Yan, a level seven ability user, should be able to handle it, right?
In short, as long as they don't hurt him, Shi Qi isn't worried about being "lectured" by Si Yan.
Seeing that Shi Qi still showed no sign of backing down, they immediately took out their weapons and began to attack him relentlessly.
However, a group of level four and five ability users were still not enough for Shi Qi.
Sun Donghang knew that Shi Qi was very fast and guessed that he might have a speed-related superpower, but he did not expect that he could jump so high.
Shi Qi simply leaped backward lightly, without any apparent effort, yet he jumped about two meters high, instantly escaping the guards' attack range.
The guards continued to pursue Shi Qi, but Shi Qi only evaded them and showed no intention of fighting back.
Watching his men being humiliated like monkeys, Sun Donghang finally realized something was wrong: "Stop fighting! Let's go..."
Sun Donghang's words were like golden rules; the ten guards immediately stopped and returned behind him, ready to leave.
Unfortunately, his reaction was a step too slow.
Shi Qi stopped what he was doing, stood still, and looked in the direction of the footsteps—Si Yan and the others had arrived.
Sun Donghang also saw Si Yan and the others running towards him. He knew that he couldn't leave for the time being. So he raised his hand and simply signaled the guards behind him to stop and wait for Si Yan to come to him.
The first thing Si Yan did upon arriving was to go to Shi Qi's side and carefully examine him to see if he was injured anywhere.
"Don't worry, I'm not injured, and I didn't fight them."
Hearing him say this, Sun Donghang and the others on the opposite side were speechless. Yes... you didn't lay a hand on them, you just made a fool of my people (us). How can that be considered laying a hand on them?
Having personally confirmed the truthfulness of Shi Qi's words, Si Yan felt relieved; then he walked up to Sun Donghang, glancing down at him slightly: "Captain Sun, what brings you here?"
Compared to the "Level 5" ability user Shi Qi had, Si Yan's pressure on Sun Donghang was obviously much stronger. He subconsciously swallowed and said, "I didn't do anything. I just saw your team members loitering here, so I came to check on them."
Upon hearing this shameless statement, Shi Qi raised an eyebrow. He really dared to distort the truth!
Seeing that Si Yan still did not make a move, Sun Donghang continued, "If you don't believe me, they can all testify for me!" He pointed to the ten guards behind him.
