The cold smile on Red Fox's lips seemed to have been carved by a knife. This was also the curve he was used to. Layers upon layers of absurd deja vu assaulted him, causing his memories to stir. It seemed as though a long time ago, it was also a city like this, a night like this, a stream of people like this, and himself like this …
However, there was no triangular spaceship in front of him. There was only a target that was desperately hiding his aura and fleeing in panic.
Oh, I remember now. What a perfect operation.
A group of friends and colleagues who were as outstanding as him had used ten days and nights to lay out the plan. They had executed every step perfectly and he, the Urban Hunter, had delivered the final blow.
In the most bustling city area, not a single innocent citizen had been harmed. He had calmly killed the target — the so-called fanatic who had tortured and murdered women and children as sacrifices to the Evil God in the name of preaching.
Filthy blood had splashed onto his jacket, but it was like a wantonly spilling of champagne. At that moment, all the participants had cheered excitedly. Most of them were young people who had just passed the Society's entrance assessment. There were very few Awakened ones among them. However, they had used a strict plan and a high level of execution to grind down the target's capital layer by layer. They had created various favorable situations and finally, they had perfectly killed the fanatic with B- rank strength.
And then? What happened next?
The Church had unscrupulously wreaked havoc in Hucheng. The list of participants had been leaked and they had singled out names to kill. In a few short days, more than half of the young people who had participated in the operation had died.
What had the Society done during this period of time?
The Headquarters had given them an evaluation and reprimand that they had acted without regard for the consequences. The Branch had given them a "safe haven ticket" that was equivalent to an expulsion order. Their former comrades and good friends had gone on a "closed-door training trip"...
Those who had luckily survived had run out of Hucheng like dogs. They had hidden in the wilderness and scattered in all directions. Now that they had contacted him, there was a 90% chance that they would not respond. They did not know where they were and whether they were alive or dead.
This was the f * cking ending!
The stream of people parted in front of Red Fox. Countless blurry faces that seemed familiar flowed past his shoulders. His mood had inexplicably entered a wondrous state of tranquility. He could even crack a joke.
"Distance to the target is 856 meters. Estimated time of arrival is 90 seconds. Everyone can raise the stakes. However, if anyone dares to touch my gambling equipment, I will fight them! "
The encrypted channel was silent. It was just like the night before he had fled Hucheng. The corners of the Red Fox's lips twitched. In the end, these remaining memories were sealed in that cold and mocking smile.
At this moment, Red Fox had already arrived at the outskirts of Frost River Reality. There was still a large crowd of onlookers here. As the police cordon expanded outwards, they reluctantly retreated backwards. Among them were some media reports that were unable to occupy a good position.

The personnel were trying to squeeze a path against the flow to get closer to the scene.
As for the three surrounding buildings, the flashing lights were like twinkling stars. Occasionally, they would synchronize and illuminate the entire area in a deathly white.
It was a perfect graveyard.
Just as the Red Fox was about to cut into the crowd, a new message slid into the encrypted channel. It was still from He Yueyin.
"Our attention shouldn't be on a corpse."
The Red Fox was startled when he heard what was said. His brain spun a few rounds before he finally let out a laugh. "I knew it, I knew it … To hell with Oblatum Knight, to hell with broken corpses. This is simply the biggest rubbish joke!"
"Hey!" Within Frost River Reality, Zhang Yingying's eyes were wide open. She raised a finger and pointed at He Yueyin. She wanted to berate her with a few words but her gaze unconsciously turned to Luo Nan.
Luo Nan's eyes were still drooping as he stood solemnly and silently. He did not have the calmness of having the pearl of wisdom in his hands, nor did he have the panic of having his scam seen through.
Red Fox laughed in a low voice. "Miss Secretary, are you saying that you want to fold up and admit defeat? Have you asked for the boss' opinion before saying these words … Mr. Luo, Boss Luo, won't you say a few words? "
It was as if Luo Nan did not hear anything. He did not respond at all.
Zhang Yingying could not hold it in any longer but Bai Xinyan hugged her neck. Her actions were intimate and she did not allow Zhang Yingying to say anything.
Red Fox did not receive a response. His smile grew even wider but his voice became even more hoarse. "Good. Very good. Your ability to wipe your face and butt is truly amazing! Is there any meaning in doing this? Is it to forcefully slap my face? Or is it to let this scammer off the hook? "
He Yueyin spoke calmly. "Isn't this what you want?"
Red Fox was simply speechless. "Are you trying to be funny?"
He Yueyin sighed imperceptibly. "This has nothing to do with being funny. I am just trying to bring your attention back to a more practical level. For example, your mistakes, your logical errors."
"You are unreasonable!"
At this moment, Red Fox simply had the urge to smash the HexaEar. But then, a familiar voice resounded in his ears.
"... If we really do discuss this matter with the Order of Justice in the future, what will we be? The first wave of cannon fodder? Or will we be used as scapegoats? "
This is?
"It's you who hasn't seen Headquarters' morality … The matter has already blown up! These secret orders are the best at dealing with matters of faith. They are making a mountain out of a molehill. Headquarters, on the other hand, is politically correct from start to finish! "
Red Fox finally realized that this was his voice. It was his original words, just slightly edited. The original meaning had not changed.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
He could only sneer at this. "What? You want to report this to Headquarters? Go ahead! I was harmed once in the past. I have experience. It doesn't matter if I do it a few more times! "
He Yueyin still took out the edited version she had made at the last minute. The next part of the speech was even closer. It was also the beginning of Red Fox's falling out with everyone.
"... What Human-Faced Arachnid, Fairchild, Words of Krait. The tempo is flying. You guys aren't afraid of getting your faces blown up when you play with him. I'm afraid of getting shit blown up! Look at these innocent citizens. Didn't they get blown up? "
The Red Fox was preparing for her next counterattack, but when these words suddenly entered her ears, her blood suddenly surged and her face flushed. As the sound waves shook her eardrums, the mocking and sharp tone was like a knife that pressed into the tip of her heart, grinding back and forth.
He was in pain and annoyance. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but his throat was inexplicably filled with the echoes of "blown up, blown up". It was so solid that he could not spit out half a word.
Only now did He Yueyin's voice enter his ears. "My code name is Secretary, but Luo Nan is not my boss. None of the people here have known him for more than two weeks. "
"Luo Nan is a rookie who just entered the Society. Whether it is in the mortal world or the inner world, his life experience can be said to be lacking. The chances of him making mistakes and stirring up trouble far surpass the rest of us, especially since he has the ability to make a big deal out of it. "
"But me, Yingying, Bamboo Pole... Many of us are leaning towards him, protecting him, and helping him. Isn't this good? He isn't cannon fodder. He doesn't need to be a scapegoat. He doesn't need to be politically correct. Aren't you satisfied with this kind of result in this loose Society? Aren't you looking forward to it? Especially after you came out from Hu City... "
"Don't you f * cking feed me chicken soup!"
The word Hu City was like a brand that was about to melt. It was forcefully stabbed into Red Fox's chest, making him unable to restrain himself from howling in pain. "What kind of Society is this? At best, you're a death list. You list them one by one, then you cross them off one by one. Cross them off! You guys... "
"Oh? Does the list you're talking about include me? "
The voice suddenly rang out behind his head, shocking him to the point that his scalp was about to explode. Even though Red Fox's emotions were at their most intense, his instincts still helped him turn his body and pull apart some distance. Only then did he turn his head.
But he was stupefied on the spot in the next moment.
A meager middle-aged man wore a well-ironed formal attire that would only appear at formal banquets. He wore a bow tie around his neck as he stood amidst the chaotic stream of people. The man smiled at Red Fox. The corners of his eyes, which were half covered by his retro glasses, rippled with light fine lines due to his smile.
