Ten minutes ago.

Jiangnan Base City, Superstar Alliance Branch Manor.

In front of the Demon Abyss Space Channel, there stood two rows of fully armed awakened soldiers.

These awakened soldiers, all dressed in uniform standard equipment, held bows and arrows, standing solemnly before the channel's light gate.

Special Skills Instructor Xiang Yinghua coldly stared at the space channel ahead.

Li Ling was also there, standing beside Xiang Yinghua.

The two from Special Service Group Six, Yuan Hall and Yuan Yue, stood on the other side of Xiang Yinghua, occasionally glancing at the communication light screen of their personal information terminal, smiling.

Li Ling was grinding her teeth as she watched.

On the square ahead, a group of severely injured awakened lay scattered. Official emergency personnel were moving among them, administering treatment.

These awakened were all members of the Superstar Alliance, some wounded by the two demon generals, and others severely injured by Bai Pu.

The majority were wounded by Bai Pu.

It wasn't that the two demon generals were less brutal than Bai Pu, but they were too savage, causing many Superstar Alliance awakened to flee in panic at first sight, leaving the Boundary Land; those who couldn't escape in time were instantly killed.

In these two scenarios, naturally, there was no chance of getting injured.

On the contrary, Bai Pu, many Superstar Alliance awakened dared to confront him and ended up getting crushed.

Especially those severely injured by Bai Pu's [Unstable Shield], with ten awakened having collapsed chests, nine were already unconscious, needing Life Healing Potions to keep their Life Value from dropping to zero.

Thanks to the awakened's characteristic of [Body Dataization], as long as the Life Value does not drop to zero, there is a chance to survive.

Of course, these awakened have been screened and are not criminals—the awakened under the Superstar Alliance, only a small portion are criminals, doing some shady work for the alliance. The majority of the awakened are relatively clean.

However, it is this small group of criminals that leaves the Superstar Alliance in a headache.

General Manager Xiao Wu, "Wu Chen," dressed in a suit, looked somewhat pale.

He forced himself to calm down, took a few steps towards Yuan Hall, and coldly said, "The Special Service Bureau needs to give us an explanation as to why your Special Service Officer Gangxin went on a rampage in the Boundary Land!"

Yuan Hall hesitated initially during the action, but once he decided, he was quite firm, saying expressionlessly, "We have solid evidence proving that the Superstar Alliance harbors several wanted criminals. Special Service Officer Gangxin is investigating in the Boundary Land and has the authority to attack any awakened obstructing his duty."

"Where is the evidence?" Wu Chen demanded.

Yuan Hall presented a piece of combat information from the Spirit Realm Will to Wu Chen.

This combat information was automatically recorded by the Spirit Realm Will when Bai Pu encountered Glow and Owl in the Heart Demon: Oath World.

Of course, this information is based on Bai Pu's Hidden Attribute: Perception.

Facing opponents of the same level, Bai Pu's strength is superior, and the combat information he obtained was relatively comprehensive, including a prompt of [Owl's ordinary attack inflicts xx sharp damage on you], with Owl's awakened code included.

Wu Chen quickly browsed through it, his expression somewhat calming down, and sneered, "These combat records have no timestamp or location. Who knows when they happened? What makes you say that the Demon Abyss Border Land harbors criminals?"

Yuan Yue scoffed, "Yuan Hall Team Leader, why bother talking to them? I've already sent a message to Gangxin, support is in place, he can come out now! Once Gangxin emerges, we'll clear the scene and the special brigade will enter the Demon Abyss and drag those rats out one by one!"

"No way!" Wu Chen sternly said, "You don't have the committee's search warrant, the awakened troops have no right to enter the Demon Abyss!"

Wu Chen's plan was to deny everything! No awakened criminal has been caught yet, and inside the Demon Abyss, Owl is still leading the awakened to besiege Gangxin!

As long as Gangxin is expelled from the Demon Abyss, even if he claims that Owl and others are inside, it's just a "witness," and Wu Chen can continue to refuse granting access to the Demon Abyss.

Yuan Hall was about to speak when a beep sounded, and his personal information terminal delivered a new voice-to-text message.

He glanced at it and immediately showed an expression of surprise and joy, "Good, good! Yuan Yue, prepare the Bloody Field Artifact, Instructor Xiang, prepare for capture! Gangxin is about to drive a wanted criminal out!"

Yuan Yue immediately tore open a scroll, instantly causing a layer of invisible blood-colored ripples to spread out, forming a semi-spherical field with a radius of several tens of meters.

All the awakened present received a prompt from the Spirit Realm Will:

[You are under the influence of the Bloody Artifact: Gladiatorial Arena. In the arena area, any awakened cannot perform Spirit Realm teleportation.]

Wu Chen's face turned pale. He watched helplessly as a disheveled figure stumbled out of the Demon Abyss Channel Light Gate!

"Suspect Owl, you are surrounded. The Special Service Bureau is now arresting you in accordance with the law!" Yuan Hall Team Leader shouted, "If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot!"

The sound of bowstrings being drawn sent a shiver down the spine, as the Secret Arrow Shooter unit aimed at Owl. The lead Secret Arrow Shooter soldier launched a mark at Owl!

A virtual red arrow appeared above Owl's head, and a circular bullseye aim appeared on his body.

[Aim: Two-star Skill. Increases all subsequent ranged attack damage on the target by an additional (10) points, making it easier to hit with ranged attacks. This skill requires continuous guidance.]

A great fear surged within Owl! Any low-level awakened, when aimed at by a hundred Secret Arrow Shooters, would feel the terror!

Even if ranged attack speed is slow and the attack power is lower compared to close combat weapons.

But a group shot from 100 Secret Arrow Shooters, even if each inflicts 10 damage, the total damage value exceeds 1000! Not to mention [Aim], a fearsome skill designed for group combat!

[Aim] provides minor trajectory correction, hence the reason "makes it easier to hit with ranged attacks."

Owl slowly raised his hands, fearing a large movement would cause misunderstanding and get him shot like a hedgehog.

Deputy Team Leader Yuan Hall stepped forward and locked a set of specially crafted alloy handcuffs and shackles on Owl's wrists and ankles.

Owl seemed to age ten years instantly, his back hunched, his spirit dejected.

[Deprivation Shackles: Bloody Torture Device, effective when locked on the target awakened's ankles. All of the wearer's equipment is considered unusable, whether it's attribute bonuses or skill effects. The priority level of this device is (7).]
