"Why didn't you go with them?"

Watching the once bustling mining site gradually become deserted, Yun You curiously turned his head and carefully observed Aurora.

This girl didn't speak; she just sat quietly, accompanying Yun You to enjoy the scenery.

"Didn't you always say you're a person who values rationality above all?"

Yun You rubbed Aurora's head and smiled, "Following me now clearly isn't a rational decision, right? Do you want to get caught and locked up with me?"

"Of course not."

Aurora shook her head gently and said earnestly, "I just find you to be a very interesting person."

"The people of this world are all blinded by money and power. To gain benefits, they are willing to betray brothers and backstab relatives."

"But you're different. You neither covet wealth nor status; your mind is full of thoughts about eliminating... those who deserve to die."

"You're interesting, so I want to see more of you, that's all."

Interesting...

Upon hearing this word, Yun You chuckled but didn't follow up and instead asked back, "Why are you willing to follow me, Aurora? Is it just because you find it interesting?"

Unexpectedly, Aurora nodded.

"You can think of it that way."

Yun You was slightly stunned, but soon understood.

Now, although Aurora is extremely rational, after losing her only family—her father, she no longer craves worldly desires.

No matter how much money or how high the status, it held no meaning for her.

That's why when Yang Lie promised her wealth, he received no response.

She was only interested in things that were intriguing, such as... the "family" Yun You promised.

Aurora was just in pursuit of "interesting" things.

"Alright then."

Yun You smiled and hugged Aurora's shoulder, whispering, "Let's make a big fuss together."

"Let's make this dull and boring world interesting again."

Aurora didn't respond but nodded lightly, with a faint smile on her lips.

...

Quiet and peaceful moments always pass by quickly.

The G District is an industrial area where the air is always filled with a pungent metallic smell and the continuous rumbling of factories, day and night.

But this night, due to the closure of Tiger Head Heavy Industries, the district was unusually quiet, even more serene than those quiet wealthy areas.

However, the peace here ultimately didn't last long.

When dozens of shadows streaked across the sky, arriving aggressively, the harmony was inevitably shattered.

The first to arrive in G District was a luxurious silver hovercar.

It was 7 meters long, imposing and powerful, with headlights shining like stars, and a "Double V" emblem standing on the roof.

The Victor Veneto S76 Long Version, priced at over ten million Yuan, a limited edition owned only by the wealthy or powerful.

"Swoosh——!"

With a loud noise, the hovercar landed at the entrance of the mining site.

Soon after, a middle-aged man in a purple judge's robe, with white judge's hair, stepped out from the boss's seat, surveying the empty mining site, with a flicker of cold light in his pale purple eyes.

"This person should be a judge from the council."

Yun You squinted his eyes, silently observing the man in the purple robe.

Not long after, there was another sound of dense footsteps.

"Thud... thud... thud!"

A group of fully armed special police officers, in police uniforms, emerged from the darkness, orderly rushing into the mining site.

The leader was a female senior police officer from [S·W·A·T], with black hair and black eyes, a long ponytail draped over her back, looking extremely capable.

In terms of administrative rank, she was likely several levels higher than the "G District Police Station Chief He" whom Yun You had previously eliminated.

The ponytail police officer commanded her subordinates to quickly seal off the entire mining site and took out various instruments to start investigating and gathering evidence.

"These are the cops."

Yun You narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a while, an elder in a suit suddenly appeared, spoke a few words to the special police at the blockade, and the special police obediently opened the gate, allowing him to enter.

His appearance and attire were not particularly remarkable, but there was an almost imperceptible air of menace between his brows, and his slender eyes were like eagle eyes, making people shudder just by looking at him.

"Someone from the military?"

Yun You guessed the man's identity.

Because he had just mentioned words like "army" to the special police.

Finally, when Yun You thought no one else would come, a large and a small figure appeared in the sky.

They, without any auxiliary tools, descended directly from the sky, landing heavily in the center of the mining site.

Both were dressed in black robes, their attire also unremarkable, but after landing, no one dared to show them disrespect. Everyone bowed, including the elder from the military.

The smaller one was a gray-haired girl with a side ponytail, looking only in her early twenties, her face full of aloofness and arrogance.

The taller one was a man as burly as a grizzly bear, with thick body hair and a dense beard covering his face, his voice deep, and surface demeanor seemingly quite easygoing.

"It's the Apprentice Death God!"

Yun You instantly recognized their identities.

"Annoying!"

The gray-haired girl waved her hand impatiently, showing no courtesy to those who bowed.

"Finally had some vacation, and then something happened again."

"Damn... what's going on? Hey! You, the cops over there! Come here!"

She waved at the ponytail police officer and casually asked, "What's the situation now?"

"Yes..."

Despite being from different organizational systems, the female police officer didn't dare hesitate, trotting over to patiently explain, "We have confirmed over here that Lord Yang, the Civil Protection Officer of G District, has lost his vital signs."

"Additionally, we discovered a large number of corpses in the Headquarters Building of Tiger Head Heavy Industries. After identification, they are mostly prominent figures from various fields who attended Lord Yang's birthday banquet tonight. In total, there are... 312 deceased."

"Only that many?"

The gray-haired girl was indifferent, her attitude one of complete detachment.

Obviously, she was still resentful about the canceled vacation.

"Alright, don't play around, Kai."

The grizzly bear-like man shook his head, stopping the unrestrained girl, whispering, "This is no small matter... Yang Lie is in the same class as you, don't treat the task as a joke."

As he said this, he intended to ask for more case details...

But at that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of Yun You and Aurora not far away.

The man was slightly surprised.

"Survivors?"

Everyone was shocked, hastily following the man's gaze, discovering the two hiding in the doorman's room.

The first to react was the ponytail female officer. She quickly ran to the two, attempting to apprehend Yun You...

After all, in a police officer's eyes, the first person appearing at a crime scene should be the primary suspect.

However, before she could grab Yun You's arm, a large hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder, rendering her immobile.

The female officer stared blankly back, only to find that the man who had acted was the grizzly bear-like man.

"You cops sure are bold, daring to arrest people without saying anything?"

The man gave the female officer a casual glance, the warning in his eyes self-evident.

"...!"

The ponytail female officer's face froze.

"I... I..."

She wanted to explain, but the man showed no interest in her words. Instead, he turned around, placed his right hand over his chest, and gave Yun You a standard "Death God salute."

"Hello, miss."

"I am Iron Palm Kao, and that gray-haired girl is my partner Kai. We belong to the same organization, just like you."

"We are here to investigate Yang Lie's murder. Seeing you here, you must be involved in some way as well, right?"

"May I ask if you need any help, miss?"
