: I will personally take action

It is 20:44 PM.

As they approached the floor-to-ceiling window, Yan Baobao's expression gradually changed. If Qiao Yuan hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have noticed it amidst the noisy shouts.

She disliked this place, especially since Qiao Yuan was constantly being coveted by young girls, as if he could be snatched away at any moment.

Fortunately, her Ember Armor Suit was intimidating enough, which was why she hadn't changed into it before.

"There is something strange going on." Her eyelids twitched slightly. "I'll go take a look. You stay behind me, don't run around, and don't try to be brave."

"Okay," Qiao Yuan readily agreed.

The corridor is just 30 meters ahead. Although the three people just came in through the back door, the VIP room itself is on the left side of the second floor.

It's very dark here now, and all around are a noisy, enthusiastic crowd dancing wildly. On stage, the chief saintess in a red dress and strapless top, wearing a purple mask, is like a white swan falling into darkness. Her singing carries a strong sense of criticism and nostalgia for the past, which resonates with the audience and creates a great deal of noise.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to appreciate it. He had timed it down to the second. From the moment the baby touched that side, it would be exactly 45 minutes, the moment those two guys came out of the VIP box.

This precise timing is really satisfying, like being a mastermind behind everything, with everything proceeding according to his plan.

At this moment, the baby had already arrived in the corridor and saw the golden door being smashed open, and two men wearing SpongeBob and Patrick masks rushed out.

The waiter serving the drinks screamed in fright, and the baby also saw the corpse in the private room.

The bearded man, about to shove the waiter aside and run away, was stunned. He glared at Yan Baobao and cursed, "Fuck! Where did this cop come from?!"

Patrick Star, standing nearby, was equally bewildered. Everything had been perfectly normal just moments before. Even if they had been discovered... the cops weren't Superman; how could they have arrived so quickly?

A look of seriousness appeared in Yan Baobao's eyes. She raised her hand and clenched it, causing her left hand, which was covered by steel armor, to suddenly emit streaks of electricity.

With a cold snort, she charged forward, like a fighter jet taking off, creating a gust of wind in the corridor.

Seeing that things were going badly, the bearded man decisively used Patrick Star as a scapegoat. Although he was a stronger Tier 3, his only thought now was to run.

The members of Ember never go it alone; they always attack in small teams. If one member is there, then two, three, four...

People will die if this drags on!

Bang! Baby punched Patrick Star's mask, smashing it to pieces. His face caved in, and he crashed into the bathroom like a dead dog.

The scream was abruptly cut off.

The first-tier ability of the King Sequence is called [Quick Combat] (the faster the speed, the greater the power).

The second-tier ability of the King Sequence is [Berserk Blood] (activates blood potential, providing a continuous source of power, like a tsunami or a landslide).

Even without a baby, Qiao Yuan was very familiar with the abilities of the King Sequence, because each stage was very cool. For example, the third-tier King Sequence had the [King's Aura], which was super cool.

At the same time, the bearded man rushed back to the private room, closed the door, and began smashing the floor-to-ceiling window.

He has changed the future; the previous bearded man escaped through the back door.

Now, because he was blocking the road with his baby, he had no choice but to smash the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window and rush towards the front door.

They may look similar, but in reality, the differences are huge.

Those who came in through the back door were all familiar faces; there were only two bodyguards, so security was relatively lax.

The main entrance is a different story. There are a lot of bodyguards, and the lighting and customers are much more conspicuous, making it increasingly difficult.

Qiao Yuan watched as the baby smashed the door with a single punch, and he quickly activated his Demon Substitute and followed.

In the adjacent restroom, using hands already gloved with transparent gloves, he deftly snatched the Night Mask from Patrick Star's arms.

With the double as a cover, the bartender was scared away and no one noticed. There were no security cameras in the restroom.

Wow, perfect!

He deliberately bought the popcorn, deliberately asked for the gloves, and even asked for an extra cloth bag that could hold two cups of juice.

Thanks to the baby's Ember Mech Suit, everything was completely satisfied, and they were especially attentive.

He had previously seen that the bearded man and Patrick Star were also wearing gloves when committing the crime to avoid leaving fingerprints.

Now you can just throw the mask into a bag and no one will know. It's not only good for disguising yourself, but also for concealing your identity.

He then used the baby's chin as an anchor point, using up his last attempt of the day.

The river of time surged before his eyes, and he appeared beside the bearded man, seeing him being blocked by the bodyguards at the door, which immediately stirred up a huge storm.

This time it was obvious that the opponent was not as fast as when escaping through the back door before. Yan Baobao was chasing them closely, and they had no choice but to use the Eternal Night spell in less than a hundred meters.

To his surprise, whether it was because the baby was too fast or the beard was too hasty, the baby was not restrained, which left him stunned.

What kind of monster is Yan Baobao?!

The second-tier technique can chase down the third-tier technique, completely ignoring the forbidden techniques of the Church of the Night. That's too powerful.

Although he was already used to Yan Baobao's top-notch talent from childhood to adulthood, he was still somewhat surprised.

But only the bearded man was terrified. Just a moment ago, when he used the Eternal Night Technique, it felt as if he had been stared at by a pair of extremely terrifying blood-red eyes.

It was as if some kind of divine manifestation made him feel as if death was approaching for the first time, and he was so frightened that he lost his mind.

The binding force of his Double Night Spell was forcibly broken by the opponent...

What the hell is that?!

He couldn't see anything directly from Yan Baobao right now, but the intimidation she had just exuded was accompanied by endless coldness and an aura of destruction...

Qiao Yuan continued watching, watching the bearded man with a SpongeBob mask leaping on the roof of the hovercar that flew through the air, swooping down along the elevated road on one side of the bar.

The third-stage sublimation allows for a jump distance of forty to fifty meters, only slightly less than Lin Xuan's back then.

The floating megastructures on both sides, filled with colorful neon lights, are dazzling. The night view in the rain, under the huge impact of the high-speed fall, seems to plunge into an ocean of light.

Everywhere were dazzling, enormous holographic goldfish and pink dancers, and as the descent accelerated, it felt like falling into a dream.

Where is this guy going?

Qiao Yuan stared at it strangely, feeling that it was completely different from the escape route they had taken before.

Yan Baobao chased after him relentlessly. When they passed a maglev train, the bearded man was almost hit, and he used the storm to widen the gap between them.

After that, the baby accelerated, gathered its strength, and kicked a piece of scrap metal light sign that was flying away. It hit the bearded man's back directly, causing him to groan.

The opponent's massive wind blade, which he had conjured in a backhand motion, was shattered by Yan Baobao's punch, leaving him in an even more disheveled state.

For some unknown reason, by the time the private armed squad from the Saintess Bar arrived to help, the bearded man had already been killed by Baby.

This……

The other party seemed to have been scared out of their wits, their Dao heart completely shattered. The more they talked, the more absent-minded they became, which left him somewhat confused.

He remembered that in the previous future, the bearded man, relying on his advantage, always thought he could escape and never used any forbidden techniques until he was finally defeated by the armed squad from the Saintess Bar.

This time, forbidden techniques were used, but instead...

Qiao Yuan pondered and felt that this result was still unfavorable to him, and he needed to change it!

Forget about that huge box of psychedelic jellyfish; it's too conspicuous and hard to steal.

But he was determined to get the black mask on the other party and the metal playing card relic!

We can't wait until Baby kills the bearded man and the Saintess Armed Squad arrives before we make our move. We need to find an opportunity to steal it beforehand to ensure everything goes smoothly.

It's a little troublesome, but not a big problem.

After returning to reality, Qiao Yuan gradually came up with a plan to replicate the process once more.

He held the dark green fire longsword and immediately activated the new flight pack to its maximum speed.

80 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to 1.3 kilometers per minute or 22.2 meters per second.

With a bang, he rushed out of the bar and quickly closed the distance between himself and Yan Baobao.

"I told you not to run around!"

"No, I'm just following you," Qiao Yuan shrugged. "I don't like bars anyway."

Yan Baobao immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then don't make a move, just follow me."

He quickly saw in reality that the bearded man had activated the Eternal Night spell. Baby only paused briefly before rushing forward even faster.

No matter how Qiao Yuan observed, he couldn't figure out how the baby had managed to break free...

Never mind, it's not important.

The next plan is the most important thing!

He continued to calculate the time and repeatedly retrieved the scene from his memory visualization.

Two minutes later, seeing a high-speed overhead train speeding below, Qiao Yuan, wielding the Green Flame Greatsword, gradually caught up with Bao Bao.

Qiao Yuan watched quietly as the bearded man nearly got hit, using that as an opportunity to widen the gap between them.

He didn't make a move directly. Although the timing was very tricky, his opponent was a Storm Sequence, and it would be easy for him to slap him away.

We'll have to wait a bit longer!

After that, Bao Bao kicked with all his might in mid-air, sending the abandoned light board near the overhead rail flying.

It slammed down on the back of the bearded man with a whoosh.

With a muffled groan, the bearded man decisively clapped his hands, causing the surrounding night wind to condense into a sharp wind blade.

Right now, hit it!

As Qiao Yuan watched as Bao Bao unleashed a punch that shattered the wind blade, he hurled the green fire greatsword in his hand, aiming straight for the bearded man's throat!

The timing and angle were perfectly timed, giving the bearded man, who had just made his move, absolutely no chance.

puff!

The black and green fire longsword pierced directly into the bearded man's throat and went through it violently!

While Yan Baobao was momentarily stunned, he decisively accelerated forward and slammed his palm hard on the sword hilt, thereby completely igniting the deathly green flames, turning it into a massive sea of ​​fire similar to the one he had fought against Lina.

And it caused his beard to fall down again.

Under the cover of the eerie green flames, Qiao Yuan swooped down and swiftly snatched the mask and metal playing card relics from the bearded man's clothes.

Successfully completed!

He not only wanted to rob him, but he also wanted the bearded man speechless, preferably killed.

Any potential risk of leakage would cause him trouble, and might even implicate Yan Baobao.

Therefore, killing the bad guys directly and eliminating them completely is the best approach.

The baby swooped down, his tone tinged with reproach: "Showing off again."

"He dared to bully my sister, it's unforgivable!"

Yan Baobao looked on, and gradually smiled broadly: "Alright, alright, Yuan is the best, it's alright now."

Qiao Yuan fiercely pulled out his long sword, watching as the bearded man clutched his throat, blood gushing from between his fingers. His violently twitching eyes held unbelievable terror. Then he staggered and fell to the ground with a loud thud, crashing heavily onto the roof of a floating car parked on the side of the road below.

That necromancer longsword seems very sharp. The bearded man's physique must be over level 20. He was easily pierced through the throat with a single strike. Wow, that was powerful!

Unfortunately, this sword can only be used when a necromancer demon is manifested.

it is finally over.

Qiao Yuan gradually landed on the grass to the side. Looking up, he realized that he had fallen at least 600 meters from the height of the Saintess Bar. Although the surroundings were unfamiliar, the holographic arcade next to him stirred up his memories.

When I was a child, I loved playing games, but we didn't have any money back then, so I could only watch longingly from outside.

At that time, he thought that when he had money, he would definitely play with his baby every day.

Time flies so fast; I've grown up in the blink of an eye.

Yan Baobao was on the phone with Captain He at that moment, and the rain gradually subsided.

Five minutes later, an Ember Squad from the Weilen New District arrived and completed the handover procedures with Bao Bao. Then Captain He and his team arrived as well.

By this time, Qiao Yuan had become somewhat familiar with Bao Bao's three new teammates.

One was the young woman whose holographic mask shattered, whom he saw in the future timeline through the Lin Xuan incident when he first came to the main city.

He was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with an Asian face and his hair in a bun. He took off his mask and smiled at him, saying, "Young hero, you've worked hard. Have some water."

Qiao Yuan nodded slightly.

The other two were male team members. One was a blond young man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, who looked very strong. He was carefully examining the body.

The other male team member was younger, probably not even twenty years old, with short black hair and some freckles on his face. He gave him a thumbs up and praised, "You're amazing! You killed the cultist in one move. No wonder Yan Baobao is your older sister."

"Luck," Qiao Yuan smiled. He was now resting on the side, clutching the cloth bag from the Saintess Bar in his hand, which had almost been burned by the green flames.

He then got up to give a statement, since he was the one who killed the bearded man.

Team Leader He was introducing Yan Baobao, and he was particularly proud when talking to the captain from the Weilen New District.

Ten minutes later, he returned in Captain He's lingering levitating vehicle.

On the way, he gradually became more familiar with the baby's three teammates and they exchanged quite a bit of information.

The black-haired, freckled boy is named Sergei. He is of mixed race, a native of the Sunset District, and joined the company only a year earlier than the baby. He has just advanced to the third level of psionic sublimation and is also an outstanding genius.

The young woman with the bun hairstyle is named Jiang Xiaohan. Her father was born in Huanxi Prefecture and came to the main city through university. Her mother is from the New London Floating Car City and is about to break through the limit of the second-tier destiny.

Captain He is almost forty years old, and his third-order gene sublimation has awakened. He has always wanted to break through the third-order limit.

The remaining blond strongman came from the fourth main city, Rodel District. He was a die-hard fan of the Lions team, but also admired General Zhou Qiming of the Tian Ce Army.

As we chatted, it felt like a warm and harmonious family; the atmosphere was wonderful.

They all got off the bus at the Tiandu branch. The rain had stopped. Today's incident had caused such a big commotion, and Bao Bao still needed to go back to the station to deal with it.

Tonight's haul was incredibly bountiful; not only did we get two Black Masks, but we also gained an extra relic.

I wonder how many more stars will appear when these two masks are combined.

Speedrunning the second-order sublimation should be enough!

Qiao Yuan chose to wait at the entrance, mainly because he was afraid that his mask and belongings would be detected if he went into the branch office.

A moment later, he received a new credit reward, only 50 points this time, but as long as it could improve his credit score, that was nothing; there would be plenty more to come.

In addition, there was another payment from the Tiandu branch, another 50,000 yuan, marked as a reward for providing clues about cult members.

He originally spent 50,000 on fall insurance today, but now his account balance has increased to 900,000.

This kind of highly profitable business is really great.

Fifteen minutes later, Yan Baobao came out with light steps: "Let's go home, Yuan."

"Here it is," Qiao Yuan stood up and hailed a taxi by the roadside.

After the baby got in the car, she reached out and touched his arm, smiling as she asked, "Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired. I'll play games after I get home and take a shower! That Stellaris game seems pretty fun."

"Okay, then hurry up and wash." Yan Baobao smiled, her eyes filled with joy.

After returning home some time later, Qiao Yuan first went to his bedroom and hid the mask and his belongings.

He glanced at the quantum hard drive out of the corner of his eye, deciding to check it again tomorrow morning.

Actually, there are many other things to do, such as drinking another bottle of gene enhancement liquid to accelerate physical improvement.

Now all he wants to do is take a nice, relaxing bath and play games with his baby.

They returned at 9:30, and after taking showers, it was almost 10:30.

At this moment, Qiao Yuan and Yan Baobao were both wearing long-sleeved pajamas. In the baby's bedroom, they put on the pink Kirby holographic helmet and entered the Stellaris game.

I was originally planning to put the computer in my own bedroom, but his bedroom is now all Caesar's legacy, so to avoid attracting the baby's attention, I installed it in the baby's bedroom first, and will buy another one tomorrow.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was dawn.

At this moment, in a duplex villa in Chang'an District, Simon is soaking in a warm bath with his eyes closed. The pale blue lights under the pool are the only light in the place, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

Veronica knelt beside him and poured him a glass of Remy Martin, whispering, "Snake Man is dead..."

Simon's eyelids twitched suddenly. He slowly opened his eyes, frowned, and asked, "How did you die?"

"I'm not entirely sure. All I know is that while he was tracking the boy, he was suddenly captured by Yu Jin and ultimately shot to death by Captain He..."

"You mean, he discovered the snake man using the Breath of Night technique, and then he died at the hands of the embers?"

Veronica listened, hesitant. "I'm not sure, because there's something I don't understand."

"What don't you understand?"

"The first level of the Night Breathing Technique only has a diameter of ten meters. Even if he spent all of Caesar's inheritance, he could only reach the second level at most, which is twenty meters in diameter," Veronica pondered. "Then, the snake man can only judge whether the boy can do it or not when he is within ten meters."

"But here's the question: assuming Qiao Yuan noticed and called the police, what could have kept the snake-man waiting until Yu Jin appeared? Was he insane?"

Veronica's analysis made Simon look slightly serious. He took a sip of his drink and nodded: "Hmm, what you're saying sounds a bit strange. It can only be a coincidence... but Snake Man wouldn't be so careless."

"Lord Simon, I'll go myself. I want to see what kind of person he really is."

"No, no, no, no," Simon immediately shook his head: "Don't rush, send another assassin, this time you can hide in the shadows and observe."

"He is, after all, my friend, and he will be of great value to the plans for the coming night."

Simon spoke meaningfully, then slowly closed his eyes after finishing his Remy Martin.
