Chapter 55: 【55】Silencing

North of the city, Cloud Warehouse, Warehouse No. 32.

Three police cars stopped at the warehouse entrance. Zhang Kai, Yu Xian, and Zhang Shou got out of the cars, and many Battle Cops quickly surrounded the warehouse.

Several Battle Cops, holding super alloy shields about ten centimeters thick, formed a shield formation and cautiously advanced. One Battle Cop, holding a battering ram, stood behind the shield formation.

They arrived at the warehouse door, waiting for the order to break in.

Yu Xian watched their movements, and suddenly his head buzzed. His Vampire heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"Wait, Captain Zhang, let me do it. I have a bad premonition," Yu Xian said seriously, grabbing Zhang Kai's hand which was holding the communicator.

Seeing Yu Xian's serious expression, Zhang Kai immediately ordered the Battle Cops to retreat.

After everyone had retreated a certain distance, a basketball-sized bubble appeared in Yu Xian's hand. He controlled the bubble to float to the door and push it open little by little.

Crack!

After the door cracked open, a collision sound rang out.

Instantly, the entire warehouse exploded with a roar, and a terrifying shockwave spread out.

Dozens of meters away from the explosion, even with their heavy shields, the Battle Cops were still blown away.

Yu Xian was prepared. At the moment of the explosion, he used bubbles to protect himself and the people around him. Moreover, this time he used three layers of bubbles, so the explosion had no effect on them at all.

"Holy crap!"

Zhang Shou came to his senses and subconsciously shouted.

Meanwhile, Zhang Kai's face was extremely grim. If Yu Xian hadn't stopped the Battle Cops from forcing the door open just now, those Battle Cop brothers would probably have been gone on the spot.

"Damn it, we must investigate! Whose warehouse is this, and who is behind it? If we don't get to the bottom of this, I'm not Zhang Kai!" Zhang Kai said, gritting his teeth in anger.

Yu Xian also felt that this matter was becoming increasingly complicated.

It was originally just about catching a few small rats at night, but who knew that these few small rats would lead to such a big case.

"The other party likely guessed we would come. This is a warning for us to stop investigating," Yu Xian said thoughtfully.

After Sun Youhu and his group stole the briefcase, the other party had already anticipated this scene. After all, Sun Youhu and his group were operating by moving from place to place, and they wore hats and masks when entering the warehouse, making it difficult for the other party to trace them.

But as long as Sun Youhu and his group continued to steal, it was highly likely they would fall into the hands of the Security Bureau. Once the syringe was discovered, the exposure of the warehouse was only a matter of time.

Many people might think that dark forces or criminals would find Sun Youhu and his group more easily, but the reality is actually the opposite. Sun Youhu and his group operate as a team and have been moving between different cities. They don't trust anyone, and even local gangs might not know such a group exists.

Moreover, after succeeding in one city, they would not sell the stolen goods in that city, but would go to the next city, or even the city after that, before selling the stolen goods. And they would not make another move in the city where they sold the stolen goods.

This means that it is difficult for general forces to catch them, unless they can conduct a city-wide search before they move to another city.

However, Silver City had just ended its lockdown. Not to mention the dark forces hidden in the sewers, even the prominent figures on the surface needed to behave for a period of time. So, Sun Youhu and his group staying in Silver City was actually particularly safe.

Under the aforementioned conditions, the probability of Sun Youhu and his group exposing the potion increased to at least over 80%. This makes it not difficult to imagine why the original owner of the potion did what they did.

Leaving a team of Battle Cops to search the surrounding warehouses, Yu Xian and his group returned to the Security Bureau.

After a while, the Battle Cops responsible for searching for Sun Youhu and others' temporary hideout returned, and they also brought back several potions hidden by Sun Youhu and his group.

There were a total of ten potions in that briefcase. Sun Youhu and his group used one for the dog, and each of them carried one later, so four potions remained at the temporary hideout.

Yu Xian and Zhang Shou each took one potion and put it in their storage rings as a backup. Of the remaining two potions, one was left for the Security Bureau to test its components, and the other was taken by Yu Xian to the adjacent office for the Qilin personnel to test its components.

The two came out of the office. Yu Xian sat in the green belt between the Security Bureau and the office. Zhang Shou followed and sat down, asking, "Xian Yu, are you waiting for the other party to make a move?"

"Yes, with the warehouse explosion, the other party must already know that the thief who stole the briefcase has been caught. Given their audacious style, do you think they will choose to silence them?" Yu Xian nodded and asked seriously.

If only the Security Bureau had caught Sun Youhu, the other party would likely have done so.

Now it depends on how much the other party knows. If someone comes tonight, it means the Security Bureau is fine. If no one makes a move, then it is very necessary for the Security Bureau to screen again.

However, Yu Xian still trusted Jin Sheng's ability. The Security Bureau had been infiltrated by Alienated Insects before, and Jin Sheng had already thoroughly searched the entire Security Bureau of Silver City. If there were still problems under such circumstances, then it would be a truly big problem.

Four AM.

Yu Xian and Zhang Shou were both full of energy, one stargazing, the other playing on his phone.

Suddenly, Yu Xian stood up. Zhang Shou quickly got up and looked around. Then, a massive fireball with a diameter exceeding three hundred meters suddenly appeared above the Security Bureau.

It truly appeared out of nowhere, so much so that everyone had no time to react.

If this fireball were to fall, the entire Security Bureau would likely be reduced to ashes, and everyone would die.

However, in the next second, a giant bubble appeared above the Security Bureau, and the fireball was directly swallowed by the bubble. If the transcendent who created the fireball could see a large lake hundreds of kilometers outside Silver City, he would see the fireball suddenly appear at the bottom of the lake, then be decisively extinguished by the lake water.

About two hundred meters away, Scott's eyes widened, looking unbelievably at the sky above the Security Bureau.

He was still holding a magic scroll. The magic scroll had clearly been torn, and the Great Sun Fireball spell should have been successfully cast. This was a Wolf Class high-tier spell, completely sufficient to make the entire Security Bureau evaporate.

The problem was... where was his fireball?

Not good.

There might be an expert at the Security Bureau.

Scott came to his senses, his intelligence finally returning to his brain. He realized something was terribly wrong and quickly took out a teleportation scroll, tearing it open and instantly fleeing.

Five seconds after he left, Yu Xian descended from the sky, his body maintaining its pitch-black form.

"Ran away?"

Yu Xian surveyed his surroundings, frowning slightly.

The other party seemed even wealthier than he had estimated. No traces were left in the air, not even a scent. He could conclude that the other party was definitely fully equipped, and the ability they used was likely not from their own system.

Simply put, the other party did not expose any of their information, except... being rich.

Could it be a Vampire?

This thought inexplicably popped into Yu Xian's mind, then he shook his head. He couldn't just assume Vampires were the culprits just because they were rich.
