Chapter 464: Break Dragon City’s Secret Police

Meng Chao could understand how Ning Lang felt.

In a world where strength could determine life and death, the difference between superhumans and normal people was even greater than the difference between the rich and poor on Earth.

The poor could endure being in poverty, but only because they did not know how much of a lavish lifestyle the rich lived.

If you robbed someone of their supernatural abilities, it was something even worse than death.

Shen Yupeng continued, “After he returned home in great regret, Ning Lang received another mysterious email reminding him of the various harms of eating the Deification Capsule.

“The anonymous sender did not mind mentioning the side effects of the Deification Capsule. It was an extreme, super-high stimulant. It could allow people to gain supernatural powers at the price of draining their lives and losing their minds.

“But if they ate the Deification Capsules and took in a large amount of gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid in time, they could avoid the drug harming their body.

“The mail sender mentioned that he could continue providing Deification Capsules to Ning Lang so that he could enjoy being a superhuman again.

“But there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Ning Lang had to pay a high price for the Deification Capsules and solve the problem of gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid on his own.

“The good news was that the mail sender knew that Ning Lang had a huge debt and did not have even a single penny in his pocket. He could give Ning Lang another chance and let him buy some Deification Capsules and even weapons on credit.

“But that was if Ning Lang was bold enough to carry out the criminal plan he provided.”

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. “So, Ning Lang was really not the one who created the plan to rob Superstar’s warehouse?”

“Of course not. The plan was really sophisticated. The marmermind needed at least ten blueprints and maps of the area, the transportation routes and shifts in Superstar, understanding of how to block off the emergency lines to the police, and a plan for the retreat.

“Ning Lang and his companions are all hooligans. They don’t have the ability to create such a sophisticated plan,” Shen Yupeng said. “Ning Lang said that the full plan was sent to his email in the deep web by the other party. The person was also the one who provided him with weapons and ammunition.”

“How did he do it?” Meng Chao asked. “Did he send them to Ning Lang?”

“No. Ning Lang doesn’t have fixed accommodation, so sending it via mail was too risky,” Shen Yupeng said. “It’s just like the first time. The other party sent Ning Lang an address. Everything was in an abandoned factory, the depths of a trash site, in complicated underground pipes, or even the storage racks of supermarkets. He was to go and get the equipment. Sometimes, the person also gave Ning Lang some money and asked him to recruit and train companions.”

“I see…” Meng Chao pondered over this for a while. “Ning Lang should have also resold a batch of Deification Capsules. What’s with that? Did he do it behind the other party’s back?”

“No. Ning Lang isn’t stupid. The other party was really mysterious and knew everything about him. He wouldn’t dare to take action under the other party’s nose,” Shen Yupeng said.

“Aside from controlling him to carry out crimes, the person also asked him whether Ning Lang had any friends like him, who are desperate and long to take some risks to change their destinies.

“Ning Lang naturally knew a lot of hooligans who were in the same situation as him. Most of them were like him and owed others a huge amount of debt because they failed in their pathfinding adventures.

“But even if they weren’t in debt, the unemployment rate in Dragon City is really high. There are thousands of young adults who have dim futures because they couldn’t awaken to supernatural abilities. They’re all willing to risk their lives.

“Ning Lang provided a list to the other party. They were all bold and ambitious young adults who were willing to fight for their futures.

“The other party asked him to not question him any further about what would happen next.

“But while the mohawk man you mentioned was ambitious and wanted to change his destiny, he hadn’t gone through hardships yet and wasn’t forced into a corner. He didn’t want to participate in any criminal activities and still wanted to rely on pathfinding to change his destiny.

“The mail sender wouldn’t force a young adult like the mohawk man. Instead, he suggested to Ning Lang that he could sell him a batch of Deification Capsules on credit so that they could discuss things further after the mohawk man tasted what it felt like to be a superhuman. This is the origin behind the Deification Capsules you saw in the developing land.”

Once Shen Yupeng mentioned this, Meng Chao had a basic idea of the progression of events for the entire matter.

But there was something Meng Chao still did not understand.

“This means that practically all the criminals last night were tempted by someone, and they have no horizontal connection to each other? All of them were controlled by the mail sender?” Meng Chao frowned. “Then their coordination is really good. In just one night, more than one hundred criminal cases happened simultaneously. This organizational power is equal to that of a regular army.”

“Honestly, it’s insignificant,” Shen Yupeng said. “The mail sender meticulously planned their time of action, but it was not supposed to be yesterday. It should have been two days later.

“However, the mail sender made a few extra preparations. One of them was that if the criminals heard deafening explosions outside and learned of countless crimes happening at the same time online, they were to not hesitate and act immediately.

“The mail sender said that there is a severe lack of secret police in Dragon City. The more crimes happen at the same time, the more they could break the adjudicator court. As long as the adjudicator court is forced to work over its capacity and even breaks because of it, it will be very difficult for anyone to get to the bottom of their crimes.

“So, there’s no need for any organization or any orders to be given. The gunshots, explosions, and bloody pictures on the forums were the orders. The more robbers participated in the crimes, the safer they would all be.

“And the truth is, the mail sender was right. Dragon City’s secret police is really working past its limits now.”

Meng Chao saw how haggard Shen Yupeng looked, and he could only say, “Fortunately, the robbers are only composed of normal people who ate Deification Capsules, like Ning Lang. Superstar’s warehouse suffered the worst losses, and we still captured a lot of robbers. Even though we didn’t find the mastermind, we still managed to squash their claws. We should still make it if we want to prevent further accidents.”

“Do you think that the mastermind did so many things after so much planning just to steal from Superstar’s material warehouse?”

Shen Yupeng chuckled wanly and said, “I can’t tell you the details, but Superstar and the other middle and small firms’ warehouses weren’t the only ones robbed and damaged last night. Normal people like Ning Lang and the handful of broken-star superhumans aren’t the only robbers who took action, either.

“Honestly, the normal people and broken-star superhumans who took the Deification Capsules were just a diversion. While they were doing whatever they wanted and threw Dragon City into chaos, a few batches of robbers and assassins blended into their midst and stole really valuable cultivation resources. They also assassinated the crucial people in a few important projects and departments.

“They were different from the normal robbers controlled by the emails. These people were real elites. They didn’t leave behind any clues, and we only discovered the damage they caused right before dawn.

“Our attention last night was entirely captured by insignificant nobodies like Ning Lang! We didn’t notice their existence at all!”

“What?!”

This time, Meng Chao was truly shocked.

However, when he thought about it carefully, it made pęrfect sense.

After learning from the Noble Descent Hotel ambush, if the abnormal beasts wanted to make a comeback, they would definitely not be satisfied with just causing destruction of the same scale as last time.

If one wanted to hide a leaf, the best place to do it was to hide it in a forest with fallen leaves all over the ground.

Thus, the best method to hide shocking cases was to create more than one hundred other cases to confuse their sight, so the Dragon City secret police would spend its time puzzling over them!

Meng Chao felt a little troubled.

The enemy this time seemed to be even more advanced compared to Supernatural Entities like the White Spirit, Earthquake, and the Demonic Abyss Eye.

“Didn’t the secret police receive any news beforehand?” Meng Chao asked tentatively after thinking about it.

Even though the deep web could let a person remain perfectly anonymous, the other party had done a lot. He had recruited and trained more than one hundred robbery teams, meticulously set up more than one hundred criminal cases, and sent them many Deification Capsules and weapons. Logically, the person had to have left some clues.

If the adjudicator court had nipped this in the bud, there would have been no need for them to deal with such a rotten situation.

“No.” Shen Yupeng buried his face in the high-calorie nutritional fluid and rubbed it fiercely. When he scrubbed his face red, he stared at Meng Chao and said, “I heard that the abnormal beast research department has made an internal reference document called the One Hundred Ways to Destroy Dragon City?”

Meng Chao was taken aback. He did not understand why Shen Yupeng suddenly changed the topic.

“I also heard that it’s mentioned in the document that if Dragon City wants to develop long into the future, it must solve the problem of the great disparity between superhumans and normal people, as well as the rifts that appeared between the social strata?” Shen Yupeng said expressionlesslly.

“The more resources the superhumans get, the higher they can advance in their cultivation realms, thereby making even more important contributions to society and performing even greater meritorious deeds. Then, they can naturally get even more resources.

“If this goes on, under the Matthew Effect, the strong will become stronger, and the weak will become weaker. The strong will have no one keeping them in check, while the weak will forever require the strong to protect them.

“This sort of societal structure is deformed, and it will definitely be unable to fight against the brand new threats who are not monsters lurking in the depths of the Other World. In fact, it might even cause our civilization to collapse under its own weight.

“Let’s not talk about the flighty future for the time being and talk about the now. There are already a handful of superhumans who are too greedy and have monopolized a lot of important industries and positions, so the normal people are getting dissatisfied. The conflict between the two groups is accumulating day by day, and it gave the abnormal beasts a chance to attack.

“If we want to win the Monster War beautifully, we must work in two directions and solve the cause and the symptoms at the same time. While we continue colonizing the wild and destroying the abnormal beasts’ nests, we must also change the practice of superhumans in Dragon City so that we can promote equality, harmony, and unity. That’s what was said in the booklet, right?”

Meng Chao felt a little guilty under Shen Yupeng’s stare.

The One Hundred Ways to Destroy Dragon City was naturally his major work.

In the beginning, it was just a few disconnected articles and some assumptions toward the future. However, after his fight to the death against the Demonic Abyss Eye, he remembered a lot of the memories from his previous life, which gave him a deeper understanding toward the timeline in which Dragon City was destroyed.

Since he could remember the apocalypse even clearer, Meng Chao connected all his assumptions together and added a little more content so that it would turn into a thin booklet.

It was the same as in the past. He stood in the monster civilization’s shoes and wondered how he could destroy Dragon City’s civilization.

If he used military exercises as a comparison, it would be that he treated himself as the perfect enemy. He used everything in his disposal to find the weaknesses of his target and dished out all sorts of precise and brutal attacks.

The booklet had a wide reception within the abnormal beast research department.

It was not strange that it traveled to the secret police, then.

But what connection did the booklet have to the one hundred criminal cases from the previous night?

Could it be that the abnormal beasts had stolen his ideas?

What a joke!
