Chapter 916: The Murky Depths
Chapter 916: The Murky Depths
"Fusion Land..." Wu Mian cautiously reminded, "Speaker, it's unlikely that the Government Hall would act against us without the cooperation of the military. The nearest passage to Fusion Land might also be blocked, and even if we make it to the other side, we may still face the armed forces of the military."
"It's certain that they've blocked it."
Full Chancellor walked along the corridor, heading outwards, and said, "But there's a rift here in the building that leads to Fusion Land. We can evacuate through there."
Most people in the parliament were unaware of the existence of this rift, so naturally, there wouldn't be any troops blocking the exit on the other side. Moreover, this rift only allowed for a single crossing, ensuring that once they reached Fusion Land, they wouldn't have to worry about anyone following them from behind.
Although they might still encounter searches by the military in Fusion Land, both the Fusion and Precision Sects had a certain level of influence there. As the Speaker, he still held some value, and upon reaching the other side, members of these two sects would surely try to protect him.
Hearing this, everyone around felt a glimmer of hope for escape, and they quickly followed along the corridor, heading outwards.
With the support of his external implants, Full Chancellor moved swiftly, and after running for over half a minute, they reached a corner. From there, they could reach the location of the rift, but at that moment, Wu Mian, who was following alongside him, suddenly sensed something and immediately reached out to stop Full Chancellor.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a loud crash reverberated from the front, and the wall was forcibly broken through. Dust and debris flew outwards, scattering all over the floor with a clattering sound.
Light shone in from outside, and a middle-aged man in a Processing Bureau uniform appeared. He surveyed the scene in the corridor and said, "Full Chancellor, you can't escape. Stay and keep your dignity."
"Xu Chan?" Wu Mian's external implants contracted slightly, and he shouted, "Stop him!"
All the security members immediately raised their guns, and gunfire erupted loudly within the corridor, as bullets sprayed towards the other end of the opening.
Wu Mian had no intention of engaging Xu Chan directly and instead quickly grabbed Full Chancellor and rushed through the opening, heading towards the end of the corridor.
However, after taking only a few steps, his auxiliary sensors at the back of his head detected an invisible force rushing out from the opening, as if a bomb had exploded there. The security personnel were all slammed into the walls and ceiling, losing their fighting ability in the blink of an eye.
Xu Chan walked out and turned to face them.
The two remaining security members behind Full Chancellor wanted to raise their guns, but Wu Mian stopped them, saying, "You take the Speaker and go. I'll hold him off."
Without hesitation, the two security members escorted Full Chancellor away.
Wu Mian, on the other hand, approached Xu Chan. He moved his shoulder, and his nearly three-meter-long external implant created a strong sense of oppression within the narrow corridor.
"Xu Chan, I've long wanted to witness your prowess," Wu Mian said, though he knew that Xu Chan was likely the most powerful investigation director in the Processing Bureau after Chen Chuan's promotion. He couldn't afford to take it lightly.
Xu Chan glanced at him and said, "Wu Mian?"
"It's me!" Wu Mian replied.
Xu Chan nodded and said, "I know you. You're a man with principles. You've been responsible for protecting Quanzhi Ming, refusing many unreasonable demands, and unlike others, you didn't succumb to corruption. You have a son and a daughter, right? You're just an employee; there's no need to resist and walk a path destined for failure."
Wu Mian remained silent for a moment before saying, "I'm loyal to my professional ethics, just as you are loyal to yours."
Xu Chan didn't say anything further and rushed forward. He threw a punch straight at Wu Mian's face, a simple yet extremely fast attack.
Wu Mian barely had time to react, and the narrow space made it difficult to dodge. Fortunately, his external implants enhanced his reaction speed and strength, allowing him to quickly evade the punch. However, he couldn't find an opportunity to counterattack and could only retreat. But he was still too slow, and as Xu Chan's foot came down, Wu Mian felt he couldn't dodge it. He quickly raised both hands to block the attack.
With a loud boom, Wu Mian was hit by an irresistible force and was sent flying backwards, crashing into the wall beside him. His external implant arms were covered in cracks, and his real arms underneath trembled uncontrollably. His entire body felt like it was falling apart.
He stared at Xu Chan's fist, which emitted a faint glow, and his pupils contracted. "Spiritual Sense?"
He exhaled and said bitterly, "I'm no match for you..." As he spoke, his body slowly slid down the wall, and he sat there, motionless.
Xu Chan didn't make things difficult for him and directly headed towards the corner. However, just as he was about to reach the turn, a gust of wind brushed past his back. Wu Mian had arrived behind him, holding two long spikes, and stabbed upwards and downwards towards Xu Chan's back.
This attack took full advantage of the narrow space, blocking Xu Chan's ability to dodge. Wu Mian thought that at the very least, he could force a mutual defeat.
However, facing this situation, Xu Chan, who was facing away from him, suddenly took a step to the side. His body lightly embedded itself into the wall as if it were made of flour. After Wu Mian's spikes passed by, Xu Chan took another step and leaped to Wu Mian's side. He gently placed his hands on Wu Mian's head, twisted it with a click, and then gently lowered it to the ground.
Wu Mian sighed beside Li Chuan's ear, "You and I, neither of us are good fathers."
Xu Chan's head was twisted around, and he watched Li Chuan speed away. His body stiffened for a moment before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
The external implants on his body seemed to try to save him, but after a few twists, they emitted a fine cracking sound and shattered into pieces. Li Chuan sent a surge of force into the implants before leaving, completely destroying the internal organs.
Full Chancellor had already reached the rift by blocking the door, and behind him, a heavy metal door slowly descended from above as he pulled the control rod. However, just as the door was halfway down, a hand reached out and forcefully propped it up, then slowly lifted it with a creaking sound.
The two security personnel behind were startled and quickly raised their guns to shoot, but a hand shimmering with light casually deflected the bullets, causing them to fall to the ground.
Li Chuan's arm muscles tensed, and with a powerful upward lift, the entire metal door instantly moved upwards and collided with the ceiling. He stepped inside, and with a quick wave in both directions, the two security guards fell straight down.
He kept walking towards the retreating Full Chancellor, and before the latter could enter the rift, Li Chuan reached out and grabbed his chest and abdomen, forcing his strength into him.
With a series of clicking sounds, the external implant kept trembling, and finally, the spine split open, and the body of Full Chancellor fell out of the broken opening, half of his body dragging on the ground, along with some organ fluid spilling out.
Li Chuan quickly used both hands to pull out the vascular object from his mouth, first gagging a few times, then lying there panting heavily. Afterwards, he seemed to feel the cold and curled up on the chilly ground, hugging himself and shivering uncontrollably.
"Full Chancellor," Li Chuan said in a deep voice, "by the order of the Government Hall, I am arresting you."
