Forbidden Magic Handcuffs and Deprivation Shackles, both crafted from Spiritual Metal, are bloody torture devices specifically targeting Awakened individuals.

If replaced with handcuffs and shackles made of ordinary Earth metals, an Awakened might easily break free. However, these crafted from Spiritual Metal possess the same hardness and durability as standard equipment and are extremely difficult to destroy.

Once wearing these shackles, all skills and equipment of the Awakened are sealed, leaving only their basic attributes usable.

How high can basic attributes be? Take Bai Pu as an example. Excluding rare treasures like the Dragon Tiger Pill, top scorer in the college entrance exams, or the Profound Turtle Bead, he gains only 2 points of Power, 2 points of Agility, 4 points of Endurance, and 2 points of Spirit per level.

Currently at Level 3, his total basic attributes are about 50 points, the special attribute Basic Endurance is only 23 points, and Basic Power is merely 9 points, a scenario that can be described as "reduced to original form."

If Enhanced Elites are like this, other Low-level Awakened needn't even be mentioned.

Wu Chen stared at Owl from a distance, filled with hatred: This worthless person! Even with a large group besieging Bai Pu alone, they were still forcibly driven out of the Boundary Land!

However, it wasn't over yet. The space passage shimmered again like rippling water, and another figure of an Awakened criminal appeared!

Needless to say, caught again, this time it's C-level wanted criminal [Thunderbird].

Everyone was astonished, not expecting yet another to be expelled by Gangxin.

Even Yuan Hall and Yuan Yue of the Special Service Group Six couldn't help but whisper.

Isn't this newcomer named Gangxin a bit too monstrous?

By the time the third criminal [Golden-winged Roc] appeared, everyone was already numb.

So much so that when Bai Pu appeared outside the space passage portal alongside [Golden-winged Roc], the leading Secret Arrow Shooter soldier instinctively performed an [Aim] at him...

"No, no, wrong person! This is Special Service Officer Gangxin!" The Vice Group Leader of Yuan Hall quickly intervened, stopping the [Aim] guidance and at the same time fitting [Golden-winged Roc] with the bloody shackles.

Yuan Yue approached with a smile, "Hello, Gangxin, nice to meet you for the first time. I'm your teammate, codenamed 'Yuan Yue'."

Having already seen her in the video light screen, now seeing the true person, Bai Pu suddenly felt...

There's only a wrongly chosen name, not a wrongly chosen codename.

This beauty named "Yuan Yue," on certain parts appreciated by men, indeed is "round as a full moon"...

Bai Pu expressed his thanks. He remembered it was Yuan Yue's insistence that allowed Vice Group Leader Yuan Tang to quickly dispel his reservations about the Superstar Alliance and provide support.

Yuan Yue looked Bai Pu up and down, pinching his arm, "Wow, such hard muscles, no wonder you're so fierce."

Bai Pu had gradually become immune to such outgoing beauties. He calmly and courteously excused himself from beside Yuan Yue and greeted Vice Group Leader Yuan Tang:

"Leader Yuan Tang, there should still be at least one wanted criminal [Wind Sand] in the Demon Abyss Border Land. He split up with [Golden-winged Roc], and I only caught one of them."

"Understood, he's like a rat in a jar now, can't escape!"

Yuan Tang coughed with authority and looked at Xiang Yinghua nearby, "Instructor Xiang, it's time for the Superstar Alliance to hand over the access rights to the Demon Abyss Border Land!"

Xiang Yinghua nodded slightly, "Indeed, it has been proven that the Demon Abyss Border Land harbors and shelters wanted criminals. The special task force needs to enter to cleanse the area and search for hidden evil Awakened individuals."

Yuan Yue cheerfully waved, "Hey, hey! The man with gold-rimmed glasses, stop hiding! Quickly come over, open the door swiftly, and let the Secret Arrow Shooter unit in!"

Forced out of hiding, Wu Chen stood and reluctantly said, "I refuse."

"Hmm?" Xiang Yinghua's gaze swept over.

Xiang Yinghua is an Advanced Awakened who has commanded the special operations unit for years, with an imposing presence.

However, Wu Chen, being an Intermediate Awakened, knowing Xiang Yinghua wouldn't attack him publicly, also stood firm and said in a deep voice, "The Demon Abyss is a Boundary Land discovered and controlled by the Superstar Alliance. Even if a few criminals accidentally mixed in, you have no right to enter and search, unless there's an order from the Jiangnan District Committee!"

"Some people just refuse to cry until they see the coffin." Yuan Yue snorted lightly.

Yuan Tang frowned a bit and whispered to Xiang Yinghua, "Instructor Xiang, what do you think..."

Xiang Yinghua, shrewd with a coarse but detailed exterior, shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I'm just following orders. I won't overreach. I suggest you report to Commander Nie."

Yuan Tang thought for a moment and said, "Then, until the committee's search warrant arrives, can we ask the special operations team to garrison here for a while?"

Yuan Tang had already offended the Superstar Alliance this time with determination, naturally wanting to handle matters properly.

In case the wanted criminal [Wind Sand] hiding inside escapes, and if the Secret Arrow Shooter unit enters after securing a search warrant and finds nothing, it would tarnish his image in Commander Nie's eyes, leaving him ineffective for either side.

Xiang Yinghua, being a direct subordinate of Commander Nie, naturally had to enforce the superior's will. He immediately agreed, "No problem, I'll personally lead the team to stay here and supervise, ensuring not even a fly escapes."

Afterward, Yuang Tang and Xiang Yinghua announced their decision to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen turned slightly pale. He knew protests were futile and now could only stall for time! What followed was a power struggle among the committee's top brass, beyond his level of influence.

He suddenly caught sight of Bai Pu and loudly called out, "Wait a moment, Special Service Officer 'Gangxin.' Return what you took from the Boundary Land!"

Bai Pu feigned ignorance, "What did I take?"

"Cut the nonsense!" Wu Chen coldly said, "I received reports... you robbed the Superstar Alliance's treasures in the Demon Abyss Border Land, including a component of an Immortal King's Green Armor Set and various precious items worth millions of Spiritual Points. Besides, you also intruded into the underground layer of Xiangbo Cave and took the Primordial Heart Tissue!"

The Green Armor Set and Primordial Heart Tissue, Bai Pu had indeed taken them.

But the "various precious items worth millions of Spiritual Points" was purely Wu Chen's baseless accusation.

Of course, it's also possible that an Awakened from the Superstar Alliance took advantage and stole from another treasure stash hidden in the Demon Abyss, framing Bai Pu for it.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Bai Pu said with a calm expression.

Isn't it just a verbal skirmish? Who wouldn't know how to do that? Wu Chen could adamantly declare those criminals had no relations with the Superstar Alliance and were "accidentally included," so naturally Bai Pu could also insist he didn't take anything from the Superstar Alliance.

After all, he's already completely turned against the Superstar Alliance, with not a shred of reconciliation possible. Even if Wu Chen accused him of wiping out all the Superstar Alliance's bases, what then? Where's the evidence?
