"Prepare a car for me, no, prepare a helicopter! If my request is not met within half an hour, I will kill her!"

The prisoner was yelling at Brother Qiu, completely unaware of anything unusual behind him.

Zhou Xu leaned against the wall, pulled out a card from his arms with two fingers, and calmly observed the prisoner.

The prisoner's hand is always squeezing the hostage's neck. With the general strength of the life master, the hostage may lose his life at any time as long as the prisoner has a thought.

Zhou Xu thought about how he could save the hostages without killing the prisoners.

Brother Qiu did not give clear instructions on this point, but robbery was not punishable by death. Zhou Xu thought about it and worked hard to get closer.

Once he got close enough, he could save the hostages as long as he moved fast enough.

There was no sound at all when Zhou Xu landed, and the prisoner didn't notice it at all, but the officers from the Public Security Department outside the store saw Zhou Xu appearing and couldn't help but take a glance.

It was this glance that made the prisoner, who was already highly nervous, subconsciously turn around.

not good!

Zhou Xu realized something was wrong and made a quick decision, shooting out the cards in his hand instantly!

"ah--"

The prisoner screamed, and the hand that was holding the hostage's neck was cut off by playing cards, and the hostage screamed and wanted to run away.

"Don't even think about running away!"

In desperation, the prisoner waved the chainsaw wildly with his other hand. At this time, Brother Qiu had already rushed in and blocked the hostage behind him.

Ceng Ceng Ceng.

The chainsaw cut fiercely towards Brother Qiu. His body was covered with a metallic luster and a bunch of electric sparks were generated by the friction, but he was fine!

With quick eyes and quick hands, he punched the prisoner in the face!

The prisoner became dizzy and fell backwards onto the counter.

At this time, the hostages were quickly escorted outside by people from the Public Security Department, and Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good job." Brother Qiu praised him. If Zhou Xu had hesitated a little when the prisoner turned around, the hostage might not have been saved.

"Look down on me! You all look down on me!"

The prisoner climbed up from the counter, roaring hysterically, his eyes red with bloodlust.

"Didn't I say that after taking the medicine, no one will look down on me anymore? I have awakened my fate, why do you still dare to laugh at me? Everyone who looks down on me today will die!"

A horrifying scene appeared. The prisoner's face aged at an alarming rate. Then a section of his arm was cut off, and another chainsaw appeared!

He rushed towards Brother Qiu and waved wildly. Brother Qiu's arms completely turned into metal, and he forcibly carried him down, and then knocked him down again!

Although the prisoner has a destiny, his fighting and killing skills are still too poor.

"Aren't you going to stop?"

Brother Qiu frowned as he looked at the crazy prisoner.

The prisoner continued to struggle, and his face, neck and all exposed skin became strangely shriveled, while the life energy in his body became stronger and stronger.

puff!

The prisoner's head turned into a chainsaw, and he looked very scary.

Brother Qiu pinned him firmly to the ground. After a while, the prisoner gradually stopped.

The man actually died!

The chainsaw on the prisoner disappeared, but his hands and head were all burned, which looked very scary!

"Does it feel a little familiar?"

Brother Qiu's expression became solemn and he asked Zhou Xu.

"It looks very similar to the corpse at Binhai University yesterday!" Zhou Xu said in shock.

The Chainsaw Man's body was brought back to the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the forensic doctor in charge of the autopsy quickly provided Brother Qiu with two reports.

"The corpse you just sent is the same as the one yesterday. The blood in the body has been burned dry and the internal organs have melted."

The forensic doctor pointed to the report on the first corpse. "The difference is that I found residual drug ingredients in the body of the first corpse, so I reasonably infer that they took some kind of drug that would overdraw their vitality."

"Drug that overdrafts vitality?"

Zhou Xu and Brother Qiu coincidentally remembered the nonsense that the prisoner said before his death today. He said that he had taken medicine and thus awakened his destiny...

The two told the forensic doctor about their speculation that taking medicine would awaken their destiny. The forensic doctor was quite unbelievable.

"As for drugs that can help awaken your destiny, I have only heard of the Awakening Liquid of the Natural God Cult. But the Awakening Liquid will not overdraw your vitality. At most, you are too young to bear it," the forensic doctor said.

"Xinxin, there are a lot of books about fortune tellers on the desk of the first deceased, Sun Cailiang, right?"

Zhou Xu was moved in his heart and asked Hu Xinxin.

The two gradually became familiar with each other, and they no longer addressed each other as classmate Zhou and classmate Hu.

Hu Xixin nodded quickly. "Some books are about destiny, teaching people how to have destiny through self-discipline."

"Self-discipline can lead to destiny? Do some people believe in this chicken soup?" Brother Qiu shook his head.

"If that's the case, then Sun Cailiang most likely committed suicide."

Zhou Xu sighed, the whole story was almost clear.

When Sun Cailiang died, both the front and rear doors were closed, and the curtains were deliberately closed. If the master had killed him, why create the illusion of a secret room and make his death look so horrific?

In addition, there were no signs of fighting in the dormitory, only Sun Cailiang fell to the ground with a water glass, so Zhou Xu made a bold guess.

Sun Cailiang most likely took some kind of medicine to awaken his destiny, and this matter was very important to him, so he chose a time when his roommates were not around.

However, this drug was unreliable. He felt uncomfortable after taking it, so he took a water cup to drink water to relieve the pain. Unexpectedly, the next moment the drug would kill him!

"Today the chainsaw man looked very similar to Sun Cailiang when he died, but he successfully awakened his destiny, and Sun Cailiang was not so lucky." Zhou Xu boldly expressed his guess.

"Sun Cailiang may not have awakened his destiny, and has he forgotten the freezing mark next to the glass of water?" Brother Qiu reminded, he felt that Zhou Xu's guess was very close to the truth.

"If this kind of drug possesses destiny by overdrafting vitality, then the death of these two people can be explained clearly. But if this kind of drug really exists..."

The forensic doctor looked worried, and everyone else understood what he meant.

How broadly effective is this drug?

Will my vitality continue to be overdrawn after taking it, or will it be controllable?

Can its sequelae be solved?

The awakening liquid currently used in all countries around the world is only suitable for people aged 18 or over. The threshold is very high, and the proportion of humans who can become fortune tellers is too small.

If the drug that appears now can solve this problem, no matter how strong its side effects are, it will arouse the interest of many people...

This is a destabilizing factor for society. If such medicine falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be even more of a hidden danger!

"This matter must be reported to Mr. Xu."

Brother Qiu realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately went to Mr. Xu's office, while Zhou Xu and Hu Xinxin left work early.

The next day, Brother Qiu brought the results of the case.

"This case is over and the Department of Foreign Affairs is no longer in charge. I have been told above that you should not mention the drugs to anyone." Brother Qiu said with a serious face.

Zhou Xu and Hu Xinxin nodded, curious in their hearts.

Isn’t the Department of Foreign Affairs specifically responsible for handling such matters?

If the Foreign Affairs Department is not responsible, then who will solve this matter?

What if this drug appears again and more people die from it?

Brother Qiu obviously didn't want to say more, or maybe he couldn't say anything, so the matter just passed.

In the following days, Zhou Xu was busy working in the Department of Foreign Affairs during the day and practiced with Zhong Taiyan at night.

Although he was tired, he was very fulfilled. He could feel that he was making progress every day.

As September enters the middle of September, the predictions about Binhai City's imminent destruction gradually become true.

On local online forums, "rumors" about the destruction appeared many times, but due to the successful prosecution, they did not cause much commotion.

However, as an employee of the Foreign Affairs Department, I can clearly feel that the end of Binhai City is approaching.

Because, as soon as the middle of the month arrives, there are suddenly more invasions of dangerous species.

Most dangerous species come from the ocean. Due to environmental restrictions, the boundary wall on the ocean side has a limited coverage area. On weekdays, some dangerous areas are protected through patrols.

However, in recent times, the number of dangerous species that have invaded this area has increased a lot. Although Binhai City has strengthened its guard, many fish have still slipped through the net.

These dangerous species that have invaded the city will of course be dealt with on a priority basis by the Foreign Affairs Department.

As a result, the staff of the Foreign Affairs Department were extremely busy. Zhou Xu and Hu Xinxin followed Brother Qiu, and their daily workload was extremely heavy.

Dangerous species from the ocean come in all shapes and sizes.

Some look like fish, but they are five to six meters long and have spear-like mouths that can easily penetrate the concrete floor;

Some are molluscs that will automatically heal if their bodies are pierced by bullets, and they will also secrete highly corrosive mucus;

Some have hard armor and numerous joints and limbs, which can easily lift a car and tear it apart.

Gradually, the Department of Foreign Affairs only has one task left every day: eradicating dangerous species.

Zhou Xu always rushes to the front. This is a valuable opportunity to accumulate practical experience. Fighting against dangerous species often allows him to have a deeper understanding of the fate master's theory.

Through actual combat during the day and training at night, his strength improved by leaps and bounds. Even the seniors of the Department of Foreign Affairs were full of praise for his performance.

The Department of Foreign Affairs is working at full capacity and the situation is under control quite well.

However, a sudden heavy rain changed everything.

In the heavy rain, large numbers of water ants suddenly appeared from every corner of the city!

These water ants were different from the ones in the old days. They were much larger and extremely ferocious. They appeared out of nowhere, as if they were born from the water, and attacked the entire Binhai City with lightning speed!

Dark, overwhelming, and terrifying swarms of water ants were raging over the city.

The glass curtain walls of high-rise buildings were smashed, high-voltage power towers were paralyzed, and some people were rolled up by water ants. When they fell to the ground, only their bones were left!
Chapter completed!
