Chapter 297: Chapter 283: We’re Done For, Things Have Blown Up
BOOM—
A massive crash.
Chu Zhengxiong had just run onto the rooftop.
There, he saw Qin Zhaoxue slam heavily into a pile of junk not far away.
A black shadow flickered in and out of sight on the rooftop.
"Dammit, are you okay?"
Chu Zhengxiong glanced at Qin Zhaoxue, who was trying to get back up.
"I’m fine. Be careful, Captain Chu! It’s an aberrant beast that can turn invisible!" Qin Zhaoxue quickly warned him.
Hearing this, Chu Zhengxiong grinned.
"An invisible aberrant beast? Isn’t it just a flying rat?"
"All it knows is how to hide and do shady shit. Running into me today is just your bad luck!"
After he finished speaking,
he scanned the rooftop, searching for any sign of the flying rat.
The next moment, his ears twitched.
He spun around and threw a handful of white powder beside him.
He followed up with a vicious kick that landed squarely on the flying rat’s body.
SKREEE—
A piercing shriek made Chu Zhengxiong’s eardrums ache.
Only then did Qin Zhaoxue realize with a start that it was a giant bat.
It was as tall as a grown man, with a pair of enormous wings on its back.
It looked just like a vampire.
It had a hideous face, sharp fangs, and even its pupils were blood-red.
Bulging muscles rippled across its body, and its long, sharp claws looked like they could tear anything apart.
However, there wasn’t a trace of fear in Chu Zhengxiong’s eyes.
Instead, he casually pulled a cigarette from his pocket.
CLICK—
The moment the flame flared to life,
the bat flinched back in what seemed to be fear.
Seizing the opportunity, Chu Zhengxiong suddenly brandished a massive blade.
He brought the huge blade down on the bat with tremendous force.
BOOM—
With another deafening crash, the bat didn’t even have time to react.
It was instantly sliced clean in two with a CRACK.
Seeing this, Qin Zhaoxue was utterly shocked.
Chu Zhengxiong, however, just took a deep drag from his cigarette and exhaled a puff of white smoke.
He then put away his massive blade and said with a slight laugh, "That’s settled. Bag up this bat’s corpse. We’ll go claim our credit from Captain Meng later!"
After saying that, Chu Zhengxiong gave the bat’s corpse on the ground a casual glance.
Qin Zhaoxue hurried over and stored it in her Storage Magical Artifact.
"Captain Chu, is the case... just over like that?"
she asked in astonishment as she hurried to catch up with him.
This case had been worrying everyone for days.
She thought it would be far more difficult and troublesome to solve.
Who would have thought it would be resolved with a single slash?
Chu Zhengxiong glanced back at her. "What else did you expect? That thing was a 3-star at most. Its offensive abilities weren’t that great. Its main strengths were invisibility, flight, and some speed."
"It relied on the element of surprise, which is why it succeeded so many times."
"If it hadn’t gotten bold today and dared to kill someone in broad daylight,"
"finding this beast wouldn’t have been so easy!"
Chu Zhengxiong wore a disdainful smile.
He was a 6-star Martial Artist. Killing a 3-star demon beast was child’s play, wasn’t it?
Qin Zhaoxue frowned. "Captain Chu, don’t bats drink blood? The bodies... they looked like they were gnawed on."
"That’s not strange. Bats have to eat too. Did you really think it was a vampire?"
"Alright, the case is closed. We can finally report back to Captain Meng."
Hearing Chu Zhengxiong say this, Qin Zhaoxue still had her doubts.
However, she just nodded and followed him into the elevator without saying anything more.
But just as the elevator doors were about to close,
Chu Zhengxiong’s gaze, looking out through the closing gap, gradually turned sinister.
It was only for a fleeting moment,
but his eyes revealed a flash of killing intent.
When the two of them reached the ground floor, more than a dozen police cars were already parked outside.
Officers from the Demon Hunting Bureau and the Left Guard of the Town Martial Department were all there.
They had cordoned off the entire area, preventing anyone from entering easily.
Mo Yanfeng and Shan Kui were discussing something.
Seeing Chu Zhengxiong and the others return, Shan Kui hurried over.
"How did it go? Did you find it?"
Chu Zhengxiong exhaled a puff of smoke with a smile and said, "Zhao Xue, take it out and let them have a look."
"Okay!"
Qin Zhaoxue nodded and took the bat’s corpse out of her Storage Magical Artifact.
"This is it?"
When Mo Yanfeng and Shan Kui came closer,
they all gave Chu Zhengxiong a surprised look upon seeing the bat’s corpse, which had been split in two.
Qin Zhaoxue quickly explained, "Yes. I was the first one up. As soon as I reached the rooftop, I was attacked by this bat!"
"It was this thing. It can turn invisible..."
After she finished, Shan Kui and Mo Yanfeng exchanged a look and both nodded.
"So, does this mean the case is closed?"
Chu Zhengxiong nodded with a smile. "Closed. Tomorrow, we’ll go to Jingbei Headquarters and hand this bat’s corpse over to Captain Meng. We should be the first ones to crack this case, right?"
Hearing this, Mo Yanfeng nodded.
He glanced at the bat’s corpse on the ground, then looked up at the roof of the building.
His brows furrowed deeply.
But no one said anything more.
They collected the body of the girl who had just died and arranged for her family to be notified.
The personnel from the Demon Hunting Bureau and the Town Martial Department then packed up and left.
After Chu Zhengxiong and Mo Yanfeng had also taken Qin Zhaoxue back to her school,
