Chapter 1271: Overground Rats Come to Kill

South Sea Police Station, a gray prison.

"How's the interrogation going?" A figure with six black stars on his chest walked to the interrogation window, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and asked a nearby police officer.

"They still haven't cracked."

"So young, yet so stubborn?"

"Yes, but we've been able to infer some information from their reactions," the officer reported respectfully. "What's certain is that these two kids aren't from the Twilight Society; they're most likely from the Fusion Faction. Judging by their attitude towards Chen Ling, it's highly probable they were brainwashed by him and are now devoted to helping him."

"Easy to fool when they're young, aren't they... Of all people, why follow Chen Ling?" The six-star officer scoffed, glancing at the interrogation room below.

"Continue the torture. Chen Ling wouldn't have infiltrated the South Sea territory without a purpose. We need to extract useful information, no matter what."

"Continue now? The girl has already been shocked unconscious..."

"Then wake her up with a water cannon. They're Fusers; there's no need to treat them as human."

"Yes, sir."

The officer immediately returned to the window and instructed the other officers to aim the water cannon at the girl tied to the electric pole below.

But the next moment, only a few thin streams of water trickled from the nozzle, and he paused, slightly surprised.

"The water tank is empty."

"Go find someone in the station to refill it."

"Alright... Wait, it looks like someone's already here."

The heavy steam freight elevator rumbled. At the end of the dim corridor, a figure in a police uniform slowly pushed a water tank out of the elevator and walked directly towards them.

An officer immediately stepped forward to help push the water tank, nodding at his colleague.

"Perfect timing."

The colleague smiled, saying nothing.

As the water cannon was reconnected to the tank, the colleague who brought the water didn't leave. Instead, he naturally stood by the window and looked into the interrogation room... After seeing the scene below, his pupils subtly contracted.

*CRACKLE*—!

The high-pressure water cannon was activated again. Torrential streams of water washed over the unconscious Xiao Tao, and soon, weak, pained coughs echoed in the interrogation room.

"Tell us! What's your purpose for infiltrating the South Sea territory with Red Heart 6?!"

"Damn it, come at me!" Xiao Bai, nearby, also woke from unconsciousness, but his throat was already hoarse from shouting, and for a moment, he lost his voice.

"Speak, and she won't have to suffer."

"We won't say anything!" Xiao Tao responded, gritting her teeth.

"Is it worth it, for a deceiver, a rat everyone despises?" The officer pointed to the newspapers and documents scattered on the floor. "He tricked you, and you're still so devoted to him, risking your lives. You're beyond redemption!"

Covered in scorch marks, Xiao Bai growled, desperately continuing to release his Calamity aura, seemingly still awaiting a response... even though, in his heart, he no longer held any hope for it.

"You actually still expect him to save you? Don't forget, he exposed your location to save his own skin! He's nothing but a rat from the sewers! How could he possibly come to save you??"

"Fine then, if you won't talk, you can just watch... that girl get shocked to death!"

"NO!!!!!"

Xiao Bai's eyes were bloodshot, and the chains binding him rattled as he vibrated them. He used his last ounce of strength to unleash his Calamity aura to its peak. Under extreme exhaustion and intense mental torment, his consciousness began to blur...

*THUD*—

Immediately afterward, the entire world plunged into darkness.

Xiao Bai initially thought he was about to pass out again, but he quickly realized something was wrong... because sounds of surprise were also coming from the window.

"What's going on? A power outage?"

"Did the power go out right in the middle of the electrocution?"

"Find someone to fix it immediately. To be safe, go check the situation in the police station building as well..."

*THWACK*!!

The commanding officer's words abruptly ceased, replaced by a faint grunt.

The other officers standing nearby suddenly felt something warm splash onto them in the darkness. Immediately afterward, a strong scent of blood filled the air!

"No!!! Enemy attack!!!"

The two star-ranking officers simultaneously realized what was happening. Two divine paths erupted, and terrifying auras surged outwards in all directions!

One was a Fifth Order, the other a Sixth Order, corresponding to the number of stars on their chests.

They simultaneously looked behind them to see the officer who had just been speaking, now with a gruesome, bloody hole in his chest. As something like a tentacle withdrew from his chest, his entire body collapsed like a rag doll...

In the dim shadows, a pair of crimson eyes radiated bone-chilling killing intent!

"Who are you?!" the Fifth Order officer immediately shouted.

The figure in the shadows let out a cold laugh. The next moment, a spine-chilling Calamity aura of world destruction permeated from the darkness. Crimson tentacles extended from beneath the figure's sleeves and robes, and the entire body slowly began to float upwards...

At this moment, Xiao Bai suddenly felt a response from among the Calamities, and he sharply looked up towards the window!

He couldn't help but tremble all over!

Tears of profound bitterness began to spill from his eyes, which were filled with endless grievance and pain. He struggled to part his chapped lips and spoke hoarsely:

"Chen Ling... My Lord..."

"You... you are!" The Sixth Order officer, sensing the aura filling the interrogation room, seemed to realize something. Unprecedented terror appeared in his eyes, and he instinctively recoiled several steps!

In the darkness, the crimson eyes, like those of Death itself, coldly swept over everyone present:

"The rat you speak of... has come to kill."

Audience Anticipation: 4Current Anticipation: 61

*SWISH*—!!

Seven or eight crimson tentacles instantly pierced through the bodies of almost all the ordinary officers present. Gushing blood splattered across the walls and floor. Its speed was so immense that even the two divine path users didn't have time to react.

The officers, their hearts pierced, stared in disbelief at the monstrous figure, their eyes filled with horror and incomprehension...

It actually came??

They couldn't understand it. Chen Ling had clearly exposed Xiao Tao and the other's location himself. How could he now risk so much to forcibly enter the police station and rescue them...? Especially knowing that many divine path users were stationed here.

But they no longer had the chance to think.

As Chen Ling casually waved his hand, the crimson tentacles directly crushed their hearts. With the tentacles thrashing, one body after another was flung out of the window, falling heavily into the interrogation room where Xiao Tao and Xiao Bai were, landing with muffled thuds.

"It's Chen Ling!!" the Sixth Order officer immediately exclaimed. "Quick, call for backup!!!"

The Fifth Order figure gritted his teeth, about to break through the wall and escape, but the next moment, a ghostly figure in a large crimson opera robe quietly appeared before him.
