Chapter 16: Hit and Run, So Damn Exciting

'Boom!'

The Dullahan's body shattered without any warning, turning into a shower of crystals that sprayed onto the ground, as if it had been kicked into a liquid state. The black blood splattered on the ground was filled with a violent beauty, yet Mo Xuan's body was not stained at all. The red armor was still shiny.

Qingyi silently pulled Zhu Yuan's hand and retreated. The other Ethereals had already run away when the Dullahan died. Even the Ethereals knew to run. How could two intelligent humans not think of escaping?

But Zhu Yuan was a straightforward person. She raised her pistol with both hands and aimed at Mo Xuan. Her beautiful eyes showed no fear, only vigilance.

"Thank you for your help, Knight. I have many questions to ask. Please come back with me to the Public Security Bureau to give a statement."

Zhu Yuan's words made Qingyi's vision go dark. This idiot was truly not afraid of death. Giving a statement at a time like this? Was she not afraid that this monster would kick the Public Security Bureau into the sky? From what she had just seen, that kick had at least several dozen tons of impact force and also had an explosive attribute. Who knew who could withstand that kick?

Mo Xuan didn't say anything, just placed his right hand on a small switch on the side of his belt and tapped it. In an instant, everything around him became extremely slow. He could see Zhu Yuan's hair slowly fluttering, and Qingyi slowly taking out her three-section staff. It was so slow that it might take several minutes to complete the action.

Zhu Yuan suddenly found that the knight in front of her was gone, but her years of warrior's alertness told her that there was something unusual behind her. After reacting, she immediately wanted to turn around, but she found that her back had touched a hard object, as if she were leaning against a wall.

There was someone behind her. This was Zhu Yuan's most direct feeling. At this time, her scalp was tingling, because she was standing back-to-back with this person. When did he disappear, and when did he appear behind her? Zhu Yuan hadn't noticed at all. This speed was not something a mere human could achieve.

"Officer, the Ethereals are our common enemy, so we are not enemies, right?"

Mo Xuan said, leaning against Zhu Yuan's back. This was a warning, warning her not to act rashly against the Knight. Although Mo Xuan was not a bad person, he couldn't be treated as someone who could be provoked at will.

"Your identity is unknown. The Public Security Bureau has the responsibility to control unstable factors like you."

Zhu Yuan took a deep breath and said. She knew she had been warned. If the knight behind her had wanted to kill her, she would be dead by now. It was impossible to react to that kind of speed.

"Goodbye. I will come to hunt Ethereals again next time."

Mo Xuan was a little speechless. Zhu Yuan's head was really stubborn. It was a good thing he was a good person and didn't hold it against her.

"Who are you?" Zhu Yuan asked.

"The one who walks the path of heaven, the one who rules over all."

Of course, Mo Xuan would not say that he was Zhu Yuan's junior, but instead quoted a famous saying. The duration of Clock Up still had some time left, so Mo Xuan activated the switch again and disappeared in front of Qingyi and Zhu Yuan in the next instant.

"Did this guy run out of a tokusatsu show? No, the Star-Emblem Knight doesn't have this kind of combat power. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to single-handedly fight the great demon king."

Qingyi only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the knight leave, then complained on the spot. With just one punch and one kick, such a big Dullahan was gone, and it died so miserably. It was really scary.

"How is Mo Xuan?"

Zhu Yuan knew that the gap between her and the knight was too big to arrest him, so she didn't think about it anymore. She would write a report later and let her superiors decide. Now she was more concerned about where Mo Xuan, who had saved her, was.

"He's lying over there."

Qingyi pointed to the ruins behind her. At this time, Mo Xuan poked his head out from inside, leaning against the wall, and waved at the two girls.

"I'm here, not dead yet."

"You're awake. Did you see that strange person just now?"

Qingyi came to Mo Xuan's side and asked. If he hadn't seen it, it would be a real pity.

"I saw him. Isn't he my savior? Without him, I would be on the casualty list by now."

Mo Xuan nodded naturally, indicating that he had actually been awake for a while, but he didn't go up to be a burden.

"No, no, don't you think he's very strange?"

Qingyi waved her hand and said. Treating this kind of strange person as a savior was more or less strange.

"I don't know, but I know that you should judge a person by their actions, not their intentions. No matter what he wants to do, at least he saved the three of us. That's enough for me to be grateful."

Mo Xuan shook his head and said. This left Qingyi speechless. The facts were indeed so. The other party only killed Ethereals and did not harm humans. That seemed to be enough.

"You kid, what an egoist."

Qingyi patted Mo Xuan on the shoulder and said, making him grimace in pain. Although he was durable, the Dullahan's kick was really not light, and he wasn't completely unharmed.

"Mo Xuan, you shouldn't have come over at that time. I could have handled it myself."

Zhu Yuan's bright eyes stared at Mo Xuan and said. She was blaming him for being so reckless. If he had died because of her, Zhu Yuan would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"You would have died. You saved my life in the air before. I can't watch you die. Besides, my duty is to be a heavy armor. How can I hide behind my teammates?"

Mo Xuan also looked at Zhu Yuan seriously and said. The experience of saving each other's lives undoubtedly brought the two people closer. Zhu Yuan saw his specious reasoning and also showed a faint smile.

"Mhm, you have a point. I saw your battle. You are qualified. From now on, you will officially join the Criminal Investigation Special Task Force."

Zhu Yuan said to Mo Xuan. Actually, the most important assessment was not strength, but courage. Mo Xuan was able to actively stand in front of his teammates when facing life and death. This was qualified by any standard.

"Double salary, yay!"

Mo Xuan happily gave Zhu Yuan a peace sign. His performance was still too young. Zhu Yuan and Qingyi both laughed. Compared to protecting humanity from the dangers of the Hollow, what young people cared about most was of course their salary.

The Dullahan and a large number of Ethereals were cleared out. The activity of this Hollow was greatly reduced, and it was now gradually shrinking. Zhu Yuan picked up her walkie-talkie to contact the technicians of the Public Security Bureau outside. Following their guidance, she walked out of the Hollow along a fire escape inside a building.

As soon as she got out of the Hollow, she was warmly welcomed by the Public Security Bureau. The people from the logistics department came up to ask about her well-being. This was a congratulation for safely returning from a mission. Every time they entered a Hollow, it was a life-and-death struggle. It was a matter of course to respect such warriors.
