The superhumans and adjudicators had the dual authority of the secret police and adjudicators. They had the right to act first and report later. In theory, they had the right to investigate superhuman crimes of any level. Of course, they also had absolute power as their shield. They were confident that they could suppress the out-of-control superhumans without anyone noticing it and protect the Supernatural Tower's dignity and Dragon City's safety without causing any serious collateral damage.
This was the true meaning of the word 'magistrate'.
Even though he looked like his cousin …
Shen Yupeng's presence was completely different from the Shen Yulong who died tragically under Raging Waves.
When the man with the hooked nose walked over slowly, he did not even take his hands out of his pockets, but he still made all the people in the area and the biochemical pets who had sucked in the fog fall silent.
At that moment, the Black Bone members caught up to them.
When they sensed Shen Yupeng and Lu Siya's completely different presences, noticed the chaos Small Insect created, and sensed that there were dozens of guns pointed at the center of their brows from hidden spots. They did not even bother hiding the killing intent of shooting their heads, which made them stop moving.
"This person …"
Shen Yupeng arrived next to Lu Siya and Meng Chao. He extended two fingers and naturally picked up Small Insect before he shouted at the Black Bone members, "He's one of the masterminds behind the case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise. Just now, he released the fog of madness in an attempt to stimulate dozens of biochemical pets to go berserk and endanger the safety of hundreds of innocent citizens. He also destroyed the order in Golden Tooth Lair.
"Is he a member of Black Bone? Does Black Bone have to be responsible for what he did?"
The Black Bone members looked at each other at a loss. No one could say anything.
"I'll ask you one more time!"
Shen Yupeng's eyes shone with a brilliant light that was like a searchlight that was hundreds of degrees Celsius hot. He shouted fiercely, "Is he a member of Black Bone? Does Black Bone want the secret police to go to Golden Tooth Lair and organize a major operation to search for the ten most wanted criminals in Dragon City in the territories of Black Bone, Poison Scorpion, and Golden Tooth so that the coliseums, financial companies, and everyone's businesses won't be able to open for three months? "
Under the pressure of his aura, the Black Bone members retreated nonstop.
At this time, the leader, whose face was tattooed with two extremely exaggerated black bones that looked like an "X", received a call.
After nodding and bowing, he hung up and shouted to Shen Yupeng, "He's not from the Black Bone Gang. We don't know who he is."
"Brother Huang —"
Little Worm screamed.
But his voice was quickly stuffed back into his throat by Shen Yupeng's fist.
"If that's the case, what are you guys still doing here?" Shen Yupeng said to the Black Bone gang members with a smile.
The Black Bone gang members quickly disappeared without a trace.
Before it disappeared, it was sensible enough to pay for all the pets that were killed in the pet market.
"Let's go."
Shen Yupeng held Small Insect under his arm and said to Lu Siya and Meng Chao.
"Wait!"
Lu Siya glared at him. "This is a criminal from the abnormal beast research department!"
"Oh?"
Shen Yupeng did not even blink. He said faintly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the abnormal beast research department has already issued an arrest warrant for this suspect."
Lu Siya found herself speechless for a moment.
"Of course. The abnormal beast research department might have just been formed, but it's still a security department at the same level as the adjudicator court. They have the right to act first and report later," Shen Yupeng said.
"Then, did the Survival Committee or the Supernatural Tower give the abnormal beast research department any authorization to handle the case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise so that you could participate in it?"
Lu Siya found herself speechless.
"Of course, if you run into a special emergency that threatens Dragon City's safety and stability, it's fine even if you don't have an arrest warrant or authorization. As long as you have enough fighting power, you can settle everything."
Shen Yupeng looked relaxed. His lips curled up a little, and he looked at Lu Siya with a smile. "Do you have enough fighting power to bring this guy out of Golden Tooth Lair without harming any innocents?"
Lu Siya was so angry that her hair stood on end.
Her ponytail was about to turn into a broom.
"This is our arrest warrant for the suspect, Liao XX."
Shen Yupeng's expression became stern. He brought out a few freshly printed documents from his trench coat. The ink was still fresh. "These are the authorization documents for the secret police and adjudicator squads under my command. They are in charge of investigating the case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise.
"As for absolute strength, there's no need to show it, right, Miss Lu?"
Behind Shen Yupeng, more than a dozen black shadows were jumping around the beehive-like building.
Some black shadows jumped onto his back. They were the secret police and adjudicators who were fully armed and had paint smeared on their faces.
Their vitality magnetic fields danced like flames, and they quietly spoke of their strength.
Some of the black shadows flashed by, continuing to maintain the crossfire alert in the darkness.
A powerful group was indeed much better than Lu Siya's lone ranger.
"Now, do you still insist that he is your prisoner?"
Shen Yupeng smiled, turned around, and strode forward.
"Wow …"
As he stared at his tall and mighty back, Meng Chao could not help but gasp in amazement. "He's really handsome. He completely fulfills all my expectations of the secret police and adjudicators!"
"You —"
Lu Siya fumed, but she could not understand it. "How is that possible? How could Shen Yupeng be ahead of us and appear here so precisely? He even managed to find out Small Insect's real name!
"It has been less than twelve hours since we dissected the three corpses. We were the first to discover the super Giant Sandworm, and we were the first to read the experiment report. Once we found the clues, we rushed here as fast as we could. We didn't waste even half a second!
"There's absolutely no reason for Shen Yupeng to appear here!
"Unless someone leaked the secret, I should be fine on my side. Damn it, did you tell someone else about this?"
"That depends on your definition of someone else."
Meng Chao thought about it and said, "I told Shen Yupeng directly. Is he considered as someone else?"
"What?!"
Lu Siya screamed.
At that moment, Shen Yupeng had already finished telling his secret police squad about the retreat. He came back to Meng Chao with a smile on his face.
"Big Brother Shen, as expected of the legendary adjudicator. You live up to your name!"
Meng Chao thanked him sincerely. "It's all thanks to you appearing in time, or else, the consequences would be dire. There's a high possibility that dozens or even hundreds of innocent citizens would have died."
"It's nothing. It's what I should do."
Shen Yupeng grinned. "I should be the one thanking you, Meng Chao. Thank you for fulfilling your duty as a good citizen and reporting the suspicious clues to us. You even took the initiative to work with us in enforcing the law, and in the end, we managed to capture the criminal. Even though we can't be certain just how closely this Small Insect is related to the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise, based on how he hid so many sinister traps and drugs on him and even used them without hesitation, there's definitely something going on with him. It might even be a shocking case!"
"Of course, it's the duty of every citizen to work with the related departments to protect Dragon City's safety."
Meng Chao turned his neck and dug into his ear gently. He brought out a mini ear communicator and a locating chip that relied on his body temperature and heartbeat to provide energy. "I'll return this to you, Big Brother Shen. The secret police's technology is really good. It's just the size of a grain of rice, but I could hear your voice very clearly just now. It wasn't affected in the slightest."
"It's all thanks to your courage and intelligence that you managed to get so much information on the suspect and locate him," Shen Yupeng said with a smile.
Shen Yupeng smiled. "Honestly, Meng Chao, based on your performance at the northern frontlines and today's operation, you don't look like a normal university student. I'm beginning to admire you more and more. Once I bring this' insect 'back, would you be interested in having supper with my team and get to know each other?"
"Sure!"
Meng Chao said readily. "I also want to learn more from you and your colleagues. Just now, you attacked practically at the same time and used different angles to instantly kill dozens of berserk pets. I can tell just how well-trained this squad is."
It was not as if the secret police and adjudicators behind Shen Yupeng had never heard of flattery before.
But being flattered by a teenage hero who rose to fame during the northern offense and a super newbie who shone brilliantly during the fight between the alliance of the five universities against Dragon City University was another matter.
For a period of time, the group smiled and nodded at him.
Meng Chao also responded to them and got along well with the secret police and adjudicators.
Lu Siya was the only one who was dumbfounded by the side. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she staggered. She nearly fell again.
"Big Sis Ya, are you okay?"
While Meng Chao spoke to Shen Yupeng, he paid attention to Lu Siya's condition. He quickly supported her and whispered, "You should put on your sunglasses and earrings. It's too noisy here, and the smell isn't nice. It might affect your physical constitution as a Spirit Sensor."
"Am I having an allergy? I'm just angry at you!"
Lu Siya gritted her teeth, but she could not shout in front of Shen Yupeng. She could only grab Meng Chao's arm and drag him to the back of the group. She growled, "When did you get together with Shen Yupeng?"
"It was on the phone when you asked me to avoid Shen Yupeng," Meng Chao answered honestly.
Lu Siya could not believe it. "Why?"
Meng Chao hesitated. "Do I really have to tell you? I'm afraid that if I tell you, we won't even be friends anymore."
Lu Siya burned with anger. "Do you think that we can still be friends right now?"
"That's true."
Meng Chao nodded and told her everything. "Because my instincts tell me that you're an ambitious, conceited woman who will do anything to achieve her goals.
"To take revenge for Big Brother Lin, you're in a hurry to climb up the ranks of the abnormal beast research department and solve a few major cases beautifully.
"Based on the fact that you had to use money to create a breakthrough, you don't have any capable squads in the abnormal beast research department. If you really wanted to summon elite reinforcements, you would have to give the credit to someone else, and this is something you can't tolerate.
"So, I highly suspect that you're lying to me and that you don't have any reinforcements. You're the only one who took the risk and tricked a naive, kind, and slightly foolish university student like me into playing a lone hero in Golden Tooth Lair.
"It's fine if I was tricked, but the environment in Golden Tooth Lair is really complicated. If the suspect was driven to desperation, he could end up with hundreds of innocent citizens dying at any moment. This is something I can't accept.
"So, I can only ask for reinforcements from Shen Yupeng. After all, he's an elite from the adjudicator court, and he's in charge of this case. Besides, if two squads work together, the chances of catching the real culprit will be higher.
"That's basically it. Alright, if I've wronged you and you really did ask for reinforcements from the abnormal beast research department, then ask your elites to come out. I'll apologize to you sincerely, and you can punish me however you want."
