I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 203 - 150: Mission Change
Broken-winged Angel: I’m at Nanhua. Where are you?
Mage of Liberation: Have you exited the station? What are you wearing? Send me a photo. I’ve arranged for someone to pick you up.

Mage of Liberation: Alright, don’t wander off at the exit. I see you.
Standing at the exit, Zhou Man put down her phone and looked around. Since the other party saw her, she should be able to see them as well.
"The suspect is in sight, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and tight jeans, with a baseball cap and a mask, looking suspicious."
Inside the command vehicle, the suspect’s video was being livestreamed through Li Xiang’s first-person perspective.
"Hello, are you the Broken-winged Angel?"
"Yes, I am."
"The mage sent me to pick you up. Please follow me."
The person didn’t offer to take Zhou Man’s luggage but instead turned around and left after saying that.
Actually, this behavior concealed psychological tactics; if a stranger met for the first time is overly enthusiastic, it would evoke a defensive reaction.
If he had immediately made a gesture to help with the bag, it might have raised a suspicion of intent to steal it, causing a defensive mindset.
However, this new person didn’t do so; he merely said a sentence and turned away, effectively avoiding resistance and facilitating ease in the victim’s mind.
"This pickup person is very skilled and is a veteran."
Zhou Man struggled to follow the person out with her luggage and arrived at a black Volkswagen car, finally getting help with her luggage in the trunk.
"Hurry and get in; long-term parking here will get us a traffic ticket."
"Oh, okay."
Inside the command vehicle,
Su Jiayi watched the car Zhou Man got into, then pulled footage from around 10 a.m. on May 14 to compare with the vehicle that had taken away Shao Han.
Except for the license plates being different, the cars are identical.
"It’s the same car that picked up Shao Han last time."
"Follow it."
As the black Volkswagen left, Sun Zhidong turned the steering wheel and drove up to Li Xiang’s side: "Captain Li, get in."
Li Xiang quickly got into the car.
In the black car ahead,
Zhou Man, feeling uneasy about the silent driver, asked, "Where are we going?"
"To see the mage."
"I thought you were the Mage of Liberation. Why do you wear a mask?"
"I have a cold and don’t want to infect you. I’m just the driver, and I’ll leave after dropping you off."
Zhou Man attempted to extract more information during the ride, but the driver was cautious and revealed nothing of use.
Throughout, five cars took turns tailing the black car without raising suspicion with Nanhua’s field team maintaining their professional tailing skills.
The black Volkswagen circled the outer ring before heading towards a suburban area, driving for an hour and a half, then entered a village. With few cars in the village, any continued tracking would alert them.
"Don’t follow too closely. Keep a distance; I’ll send a drone to follow."
To avoid alerting the other side, Mao Ji took a drone and promptly followed.
Li Xiang and the team kept their distance, awaiting Mao Ji’s intel.
Soon, the drone’s footage appeared in the command vehicle.
After pulling into a courtyard, the black Volkswagen let Zhou Man out.
"You’re the Broken-winged Angel? I’m the mage; you’ve had a long journey."
"You’re the mage?"
Zhou Man relaxed her guard, seeing a refined man with gold-rimmed glasses.
She struggled to see him as the Mage of Liberation.
"Indeed, I’m the Mage of Liberation; I help those suffering find relief from their pain."
His words sent chills through Zhou Man, but as Mi Xiaojia, she had to follow the script: "Really? I’m terrified of pain, can you make it painless for me?"
"Of course. Little Tiger, go about your business now."
"Yes."
The driver, called Little Tiger, drove off.
In the command, Su Jiayi, noticing this, asked Li Xiang, "Captain Li, the Volkswagen’s leaving. Should we apprehend the driver?"
"Yes, apprehend him too. If we act here, coordinate with the field team to arrest him."
Li Xiang rerouted to avoid encounter with the black Volkswagen, then stealthily approached the targeted courtyard.
Listening devices caught that the Mage of Liberation had taken Zhou Man inside.
"I’m an anesthetist; just a shot, and you’ll sleep peacefully." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"Then what will you do?"
"That’s not your concern. What matters is liberation for the soul. Are you ready?"
Unable to extract more info, Zhou Man confirmed once more:
"Are you really the Mage of Liberation?"
"Of course. Don’t you believe me?"
Upon confirming his identity, Li Xiang leaped over the wall, quietly opened the gate, and let Sun Zhidong in.
