Once, I wanted to be a good person

....

Meanwhile, the moment "Fang Ze" stepped out of the Security Bureau,

In a dark alley adjacent to the Security Bureau, Black Bull, the beautiful young woman, and the old crone couldn't help but tense up. Then, in unison, they stood up and fixed their gazes on Fang Ze.

After a brief exchange of looks and a subtle nod, they slowly vanished from the spot, blending into their surroundings….

....

Back in Bai Zhi's office at the Security Bureau of Emerald City,

Lady Jin was also slightly taken aback, as if sensing something. She stopped her casual conversation with Bai Zhi and said, "I must go now."

Bai Zhi was momentarily startled but immediately understood Lady Jin's meaning.

Without any attempt to hold her back, she said, "Lady Jin. I entrust Fang Ze to you."

Lady Jin gave her a helpless look….

After a moment, she agreed with a simple "Okay."

....

At the same time, on the rooftop of a residential building opposite the Security Bureau,

The homeless man also slowly stood up.

Clutching his treasured sword, he then narrowed his eyes as if to pierce through space and distance, scanning over "Fang Ze."

After a while, it seemed he saw no anomalies; his brow furrowed slightly in hesitation.

'Could he really be so bold?'

'To just walk out like that?'

'Does he have something to rely on, or… has he set a trap?'

Scratching his head, the homeless man was a bit puzzled, "But what kind of trap could he set?"

"To lure me into making a move so that the Inspector can capture me?"

'But he'd be dead for sure before that.'

'A clone?'

'But a clone shares a connection with the original. If I cut down his clone, I'd immediately know where his original is.'

'Could he have a Transfer or a concealment magical item?'

'How could a guy from the slums, who has only been an Awakener for two or three months, have so many treasures?'

'So, what does he have to rely on?'

'It's not possible that he has a Yang Transformation guard lying in wait for me in the shadows, is it?'

Thinking this, he swept his senses around the vicinity.

There were no abnormalities….

The homeless man picked at his foot, still uncertain….

After a moment, he suddenly smiled, thinking… perhaps he was overthinking everything.

Perhaps, the target simply couldn't hold back any longer and was counting on his luck?

After all, someone with power and status can't really stay cooped up in the Security Bureau forever.

With that thought, he let his body slowly disappear, entering the Spirit Realm and preparing to assassinate at any moment….

....

Having controlled his clone to leave the Security Bureau for nearly two hundred meters, Fang Ze paused slightly, hoping to provoke that Yang Transformation expert to make a move.

Truth be told, Fang Ze had always hoped that the Yang Transformation expert would lose patience and attempt to assassinate him at this distance.

That way, his original body would still be within the Security Bureau, absolutely safe.

Unfortunately, it seemed that the Yang Transformation expert was even more composed than he had thought, with no sign of making a move.

So, with no other choice, Fang Ze reluctantly used the concealment treasure given to him by Bai Ling on his original body.

Bai Ling's concealment treasure was quite interesting.

It was called the "Angel's Eraser Pen."

The effect of its ability was that by drawing a circle on one's hand with this pen, that person's figure and Traces would vanish from the world for the next hour.

Unless the person spoke or was detected by some special means, he would be undetectable to others.

To be safe, Fang Ze drew two circles on his hand and then activated the "Dark King" ability before leaving the Security Bureau.

Whether the Yang Transformation expert monitoring him had left or the combined effects of the two concealment abilities were truly exceptional, either way, when Fang Ze left the Security Bureau this time, no Black Mist appeared before him….

Controlling his clone and maintaining a distance of one to two hundred meters from the Commissioners, Fang Ze waited patiently for the Yang Transformation expert to strike.

But whether he was too obvious or the Yang Transformation expert noticed something abnormal,

For whatever reason, by the time he was halfway through his journey, the Yang Transformation expert showed no sign of stirring.

Truthfully, if not for the persistent Black Mist in front of his clone, Fang Ze would have truly wondered if the Yang Transformation expert had left….

He covered another quarter of the distance.

The Yang Transformation expert still hadn't appeared.

Fang Ze's tightly wound nerves gradually began to relax.

He tried to covertly detect the Yang Transformation expert's movements but found nothing.

'This won't do, will it?'

'The other party is too patient, aren't they?'

'If I keep waiting like this, I'm too likely to be outmaneuvered by fatigue…'

Thinking this, Fang Ze, hidden within shadows and darkness, racked his brain for a way to break the deadlock.

After a moment, an idea dawned upon him, brightening his expression.

On his way to the outskirts of Emerald City, "Fang Ze" suddenly took an unexpected action.

He stopped moving forward and started sprinting back towards the direction of the Security Bureau at full speed.

His return was evidently much faster than his initial pace.

Before long, under half an hour, Fang Ze finally entered within a five-kilometer radius of the Security Bureau.

Then, four kilometers. Three kilometers. Two kilometers….

Still, no one stopped him.

But Fang Ze could no longer care less.

He kept on running towards the Security Bureau with his clone!

Finally, when "Fang Ze" was one kilometer away from the Security Bureau, the Black Mist before him started to change, gradually spreading and deepening!

Fang Ze was delighted, knowing that the Yang Transformation expert had finally run out of patience!

So, instead of stopping, he continued to run forward!

And this time, he was even more audacious!

As he ran, he also activated his Void Eye to oversee the surroundings from a vantage point!

Eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters, six hundred meters, five hundred meters….

Just as Fang Ze was about to run less than five hundred meters away from the Security Bureau,

Suddenly, his Void Eye saw nothing!

At that moment, he was puzzled.

And in the blink of an eye, a sword light, like a Silver Dragon, shot down from the Nine Heavens, directly targeting his clone!

Simultaneously, both his clone and original body were suddenly engulfed by a rich, purple-black Black Mist and an almost indomitable death aura!
