Chapter 126 - Wet His Pants in Fear
In the monitoring room, everyone watched as the target walked straight to the door of a building in Pan Garden.
Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed something.
They only saw that the old tube-shaped building was trembling.
In the end, a drone hovering on the back of the tube-shaped building captured the scene.
Something. Something that was inlaid with the building.
It could be a monster, or it could be a magic circle from the Land of Qin.
In short, it was caught.
At this time, a camera that was hidden in a corner of the tube-shaped building just happened to start-up and entered its working state.
Thus, the whole picture was captured.
In the target’s hand, there was a spider-like monster’s phantom.
With just a casual pull, the spider-like monster was torn into pieces.
It was completely torn apart by his hand.
He dusted his hands like a person that had discovered a spider web and casually dusting it away.
Under the high-definition camera, the enormous spider monster shattered bit by bit and turned into something like powder.
Situ He gulped.
“That must be at least a major general-level hell monster…” he said.
“Hmm… the shadow of lights of the Commander in Chief nodded. “The son of Alcmene!”
“One of the most powerful monsters in the Ninth Hells!”
“A monster on par with the Evil Dragon of Hell!”
“And the strongest monster under the Duke of Hell, Ivy!”
Situ He gasped!
Alcmene was a god-level monster in the myths and legends of the Land of Qin. It was a demon god that could challenge Athena.
Its son must be a demigod!
“If it is Alcmene…” Situ He said, “It makes sense!”
“In the myths and legends of the Land of Qin, Alcmene challenged Athena. After being defeated by Athena, he turned into a spider and weaved in a spider web all his life. He can change the minds of others and even live in the brains of humans…”
The shadow of lights of the Commander in Chief said, “That’s true! When I was young, I once met a son of Alcmene in the Land of Qin. At that time, it was trying to live in the brain of a member of our diplomatic mission to steal secrets and was killed by me!”
At this point, the Commander in Chief took a long gaze at the big screen in front of him. “It seems that a great being has awakened in our territory!”
The son of Alcmene was the most adept at concealing his whereabouts and aura among the devils of Hell.
He was also a master of disguise. Even the Commander in Chief found it difficult to discover the whereabouts and smells of these things.
However, the target on the big screen caught the devil with just a casual grab.
Then, with a light pull, it was gone!
It was as easy as Buddha suppressing Sun Wukong in the Journey to the West.
No matter how powerful he was, he could only move between the Buddha’s fingers.
… … … ..
Ling Pingan dusted the dust off his hands and walked into the building that had been abandoned for many years.
Dust fell from the top of his head.
He quickly patted the dust off his body.
Then, he walked up the stairs with the flashlight.
The stairs in this old-fashioned tube-shaped building were almost the same.
That was also a popular practice in the Federal Empire back then. When the empire was developing its industry, people worshipped and believed in the power of industry.
Especially in state-owned units and enterprises, almost all facilities liked to be streamlined and modular.
Therefore, the stairs that appeared in front of him were carved out of the same mold.
Size, height, width, and color.
“Huh?” Ling Pingan suddenly thought of something. “Why isn’t there much dust on the stairs?!”
“Wasn’t it stated that this place was abandoned for seven to eight years?”
At that moment, he coincidentally heard a strange sound around him.
It was as if footsteps were coming from upstairs.
“This is enigmatic!” Ling Pingan laughed. “I want to see who is behind this!”
He held the flashlight and walked straight up the stairs.
Soon, he reached the second floor. The flashlight shone forward. It was a corridor, and the edge of the corridor was a concrete fence.
However, due to the lack of maintenance, cracks and gaps had appeared on the fence.
He shone the flashlight on both sides of the corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there were broken windows. He raised his head and looked at the top of the corridor. There were many cracks on the exposed concrete slab.
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet suddenly jumped from his hand onto the windowsill at the side.
The amber cat’s eyes stared straight into the windowsill.
Ling Pingan shone his flashlight into the windowsill.
Inside was a room filled with all kinds of grocery items.
Because the window had long rotted and the door was broken.
Therefore, the things inside all had a musty and rotten smell.
Ling Pingan kicked open the door and walked in with a flashlight.
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, jumped onto his shoulder from the window sill. Its little body let out a low growl. Obviously, it had noticed something.
“Stop hiding!” Ling Pingan held the flashlight in his right hand and put his left hand on his waist. “Come out! I know you’re here. You can’t run away!”
He was just trying to scare the person.
But he was right.
A sneaky figure climbed up from a pile of debris on the ground in front of him.
“Can you let me go?” He looked at Ling Pingan in fear. His body was trembling.
Ling Pingan held the flashlight and shone it on the figure.
The figure immediately covered his face, as if he was not used to the bright light.
But the bright light allowed Ling Pingan to see him clearly.
He was from the Land of Qin.
His appearance and age were not visible, but he should be a man. He wore tattered clothes, his body was dirty, and his hair was messy.
Ling Pingan held the flashlight and shone it directly on his face. At the same time, he sternly warned, “Put down your hand and let me see your face!”
The other side hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still did it.
He slowly lowered his hand that was covering his face. Fear and a terrified look appeared on his face.
Ling Pingan saw him. He was a person from the Land of Qin with pockmarks all over his face.
“Illegal immigrant!” The term flashed through Ling Pingan’s mind.
Everything was explained.
Haunted? Strange? It must be all caused by this person.
It was not strange for an illegal immigrant to do such a thing to stay in Jiangcheng City!
“Everything here was your doing?” Ling Pingan’s flashlight shone on him, never leaving his eyes for a moment.
“Yes!” The other side nodded and then shook his head. He looked very scared and said, “And my father and my brother…”
Ling Pingan listened and nodded. That was right.
The matter at Pan Garden was a gang crime.
One person could not create so many things.
Therefore, he held the flashlight and shone it on the man’s face. Then, he ordered in a very strict tone, “I’m ordering you now. Crouch down and put your hands on your head. Do not move and wait for your orders!”
The man hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still followed Ling Pingan’s request and crouched down. He put his hands on his head and did not dare to move.
Only then did Ling Pingan ask, “Where are your father and your brother?”
The man replied, “They’re not here…”
“Oh…” Ling Pingan nodded. He could imagine that the two illegal immigrants must be out looking for food right now.
They were just going through the trash cans or stealing.
To be honest, Ling Pingan had sympathy for such a pitiful person.
However, his education told him that he could not have sympathy for any illegal criminal activities.
Could poor people be forgiven for committing a crime?
Then wouldn’t the world be in chaos?!
Moreover…
Although the federal empire was very strict with permanent rights and citizenship cards.
They were relatively lenient with work visas and refugee visas.
Generally, as long as they passed the Immigration Bureau interview, they would be able to obtain a temporary visa.
If they were displaced by war, famine, or other humanitarian disasters, foreign people, who were facing the threat of starvation and death would often be resettled by the Federal Empire.
The Jiangcheng city, the Nansong, the Beizhou, and the Nanzhou would resettle millions of refugees every year.
The federal refugee agency would give the refugees necessities and then teach them some livelihood skills. After some training, they would be arranged to work.
The refugee status was usually valid for five years. After five years, if peace was restored in their country of origin, they would naturally be repatriated. After all, as the saying went, “Horses living in the north always yearn for the wind from the north”.
Moreover, these refugees had been in the Federal Empire for five years. It was enough time for them to learn their livelihood skills and save up a sum of money.
They also had the ability to go back and rebuild their homes.
That was also the Federal Empire’s refugee policy: Help the in need instead of the poor, don’t help the lazy when they are in danger.
Therefore…
Ling Pingan looked at the illegal immigrant in front of him.
He knew that this person either had some infectious disease that was not suitable for living in the Federal Empire.
Or he was a criminal with a criminal record!
Obviously, the probability of the latter was very high.
Therefore, he remembered his civic duty. He held a flashlight and shone it at the man while he picked up the phone and called the police.
“Hello! Is this 110?”
“Send someone over quickly. I found an illegal immigrant here!”
“Where am I?”
“I’m on the second floor of the A wing of the first block in Pan Garden!”
“Yes!”
… … … ..
Situ He felt that his worldview was about to be overturned by everything in front of him.
Because on the big screen, the image clearly showed a monster whose skin was extremely pale and whose face was full of densely packed eyeballs, and rolling demonic flames soared into the sky.
“Prince of Hell!” He gulped and said the identity of this monster.
That was a genuine quasi-god level monster.
Perhaps many gods who had just awakened weren’t its match!
But now, the terrifying monster was trembling in front of the owner of the bookstore, like a lamb that had met its natural enemy.
What kind of terrifying thing had it encountered?
Situ He didn’t know.
Because that was what the drone had just recorded.
After the target entered the building, the drone had already lost it.
When it found the target again, it captured this scene.
A Prince of Hell. The Prince of Hell who was hiding in Jiangcheng City.
With both hands on his head, he squatted in a tattered storeroom.
The flashlight in the target’s hand shone on its body.
The bright light shone on the monster’s skin, causing it to sizzle and smoke, causing its body to distort and dissipate in pain.
However, even so, even after suffering such torture and cruel punishment.
The Prince of Hell didn’t even dare to move, nor did he dare to howl!
Situ He could imagine that the Prince of Hell must have experienced an extremely terrifying and unimaginable shock!
At this moment, the phone in front of Situ He rang. He picked it up with a doubtful look on his face.
“What’s wrong?” The Commander in Chief’s light asked.
“Just now, the Jiangcheng police station called. They said that the target called the police and claimed to have found an illegal immigrant. They asked the police station to send assist!”
The Commander in Chief’s shadow of light frowned.
“Is it a warning?” He asked, “Or is it a test?”
After all, they all knew through the drone that that was a monster, a monster from Hell.
How would the target not know?
So…
That could only be understood as a warning or a test.
A warning was easy to understand.
To show power and strength.
But the question was…
Did he need to do so?
He had already shown his greatness and status!
So…
Was it a test?
The Commander in Chief in the form of light did not know, but he had to guess.
Just like in the era of Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong, the ministers who served these three emperors had to guess the intentions of the emperors, to grasp the meaning of every word the emperors said.
Just like guessing riddles, there was a reward for guessing correctly, and if he guessed wrongly… if he was not careful, he would have to go to the Beihai to plant corn!
That was also the favorite game of the high and mighty people who had everything under control.
They wouldn’t directly state their purpose and requirements.
That would be too embarrassing and too ungentlemanly.
For example, Gao Zong liked eating Yangzhou’s minced crab meat soup dumplings, but would he directly say to people from Yangzhou, “I quite like your soup dumplings? Help me find a few famous chefs!”?
No!
Gaozong would not even let people know that he liked to eat minced crab meat soup dumplings.
He would let people around him guess.
For example, he would consciously or unconsciously start to care about Yangzhou’s local customs.
Like a child, he would suddenly ask people around him: How was the harvest of the Yangzhou’s crab this year? How is the supply? How is the market? How is the employment rate of the people?
If the people around him could not guess his true intentions and answer incorrectly many times.
Then he would immediately let the people know the meaning of bleeding when the emperor was angry!
Now…
The Commander in Chief felt like he was a minister serving the emperor during Emperor Gao Zong’s era.
He had to try to guess the emotions of this high and mighty figure.
Moreover, if he guessed wrong this time, the punishment would not be as simple as planting corn.
After thinking for a long time, he ordered, “Director Xia, bring some people over first and bring back the Prince of Hell!”
“As for other things…” he said, “Wait for me to return to the mainland…”
That was all he could do.
First, accept his good intentions, then guess his intentions.
… … ..
The Prince of Hell, Saharto, felt that he was really in Hell now.
Every inch of his skin was wailing in pain.
The light of the flashlight in the monster’s hand shone on him, making him look like a suckling pig soaked in a pool of sulfuric acid.
His soul was wailing in pain, and his skin was twitching in pain.
Every second was like being tortured by all the terrible torture in the world.
But he did not even dare to howl.
Because…
He knew very well that as long as he dared to cry, he would die!
That was intuition!
The intuition of a Prince of Hell!
And he also knew that he was facing a real monster!
As a Prince of Hell, Saharto’s psionic sense was very powerful.
So, he sensed the figure holding a flashlight, looking at him.
That was a real monster!
A real terror!
A real fear!
Needless to say, Saharto was suffocating just by feeling his aura.
What a terrifying and mighty aura!
Just by feeling it slightly, it was as if he was facing the reality of the world.
A scary, terrifying, and crazy reality!
Saharto did not doubt that if he felt a little more, he would be torn apart by this crazy and terrifying reality.
Therefore, he already knew that the one standing in front of him was even older than Hell. A great and terrifying existence that existed before the birth of the world and the beginning of all things.
His father, the Duke of Hell, Ivy compared to him.
Was just like a firefly compared to a star.
Small and sad. Fragile and laughable.
Meow!
A cat purr brought Saharto back to his senses. He stared blankly at the kitten lying on the human figure’s shoulder.
The shadow of the pyramid was reflected.
“Cat Goddess Bastet!” Saharto gulped.
As the Prince of Hell, he more or less knew the origins of this ancient Egyptian cat goddess.
She was the only God among the ancient Egyptian gods who were not of the Egyptian god system.
She was an outsider.
So, she did not serve the main God of the Egyptians.
So…
This…
Was the ancient existence that she actually served?
Saharto held his head and speculated while enduring the punishment that seemed to be the most painful torture in the world.
Finally…
Nee-Naw…
The sound of the siren came from afar.
Saharto shed tears of happiness.
To him, the sound of the siren was comparable to the Devil’s music in Hell, and it was the sound of Lucifer that saved him.
Ling Pingan also showed a gratified smile. “The efficiency of the Federal Police Department is indeed fast!”
He continued to shine the flashlight on the illegal immigrants in front of him.
As a law-abiding citizen, he was proud and satisfied.
“I’m not a lazy and useless person either!” He said, “I can also contribute to the country!”
… … ..
Tap! Tap! Tap!
A series of hurried footsteps came from downstairs.
Then, a few police officers quickly walked up.
When Ling Pingan saw them, he showed a happy smile. He pointed at the person from the Land of Qin, who was squatting on the ground in front of him. “Police officer, this is the illegal immigrants I found!”
“He said it himself just now. Everything that happened in Pan Garden was caused by him, his brother, and his father!”
Xia Ping, who was wearing a police uniform, walked up and looked at the Prince of Hell, who was squatting on the ground with his hands on his head.
At this moment, in his eyes, the Prince of Hell’s skin seemed to be torn apart by some terrifying energy.
Dark Green Devil blood flowed out in large drops.
The powerful Devil Prince was on the verge of death.
Xia Ping even suspected that if he had come a few minutes later, he would have had to collect his corpse.
He looked at the person in front of him again.
The seemingly ordinary and normal bookstore owner.
Xia Ping saw a modest smile on his face as if he was saying, “I only did an insignificant contribution…”
Xia Ping gulped. Thousands of words were on the tip of his tongue, and only the simplest sentence was said, “Thank you for your hard work, sir!”
What else could he say?
Could he say, “Sir, you are amazing?”
Or could he ask, “Sir, how on earth did you do it?”
What if the other side was not happy and sent him to death with a slap?
“It’s nothing!” The bookstore owner smiled honestly, which made Xia Ping felt numbness in his scalp, and also made the Prince of Hell shiver all over.
“I’ll leave that person to you!” The owner of the bookstore picked up his pet, the cat goddess, and prepared to walk out of the room with the flashlight.
Xia Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
The Prince of Hell, Saharto, was so excited that he thought he had received the blessing of their mortal enemy.
In the end, the young man walked to the door and seemed to remember something. He suddenly turned his head and said to Saharto, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, “Sir, you have to obey the police officer!”
“This will be good for you!”
Ling Pingan said seriously and sternly, “It will also be good for your father and brother!”
He said that with good intention.
That was because if illegal immigrants cooperated with the law enforcement department, they might even be allowed to stay in the federal empire after he carries out his punishment.
At the very least, the punishment would not be heavier!
But if they resisted the law enforcement…
They would usually be given heavy punishment and might even be sentenced!
Therefore, Ling Pingan was reminding him out of goodwill and for the sake of the man.
After all, he was just an illegal immigrant. At most, he was an illegal immigrant who had done some mischief.
Ling Pingan reported him to the police because he was a federal citizen, and that was his duty.
However, as the saying went, justice was nothing more than human kindness.
As an honorable federal citizen, Ling Pingan felt that he had to display his qualities even in the face of illegal immigrants.
After all, the federal empire was a country of propriety and benevolence.
Therefore, he made some kind reminders to prevent this foreigner from being at a disadvantage because he was unfamiliar with the federal system and laws.
However, he didn’t notice that when he said these words, the few police officers and the illegal immigrant were all trembling in fear.
Because in their eyes…
When Ling Pingan said these words, a blazing fire appeared in his eyes.
The fire swept up all the hellish aura in the entire building.
Then, with a long breath, they all started to suck and eat everything.
Everyone gulped.
Saharto was so terrified that he wet his pants!
The Prince of Hell wet his pants in fear!
