Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 450 - 445: We’ve All Been Deceived!

Huang Ying’s speed was fast, but the man seemed faster, raising the crying little girl as a shield in front of him.

"Don’t come over! Or I’ll kill her right now!"

He was surrounded by a massive amount of terrifying electric ions, preventing the detectives pursuing him from getting close.

One detective shouted, "Don’t be stubborn anymore, let go of the hostage now, and you can still turn back."

But the man’s expression was insane, retreating while threatening the surrounding Security Bureau agents with the hostage.

His arm didn’t have a suppression ring, his abilities could be exerted at two hundred percent.

Huang Ying could even feel the tumultuous energy around the man, seeing the sparks from lightning striking.

She saw the direction of the man’s retreat was purposeful, precisely towards that century-old white stone statue.

Could it be that he wants to destroy the statue?

Why?

Huang Ying quickly looked around, there were many ordinary people in the square, although base warriors and police were evacuating the crowd and even setting up a cordon, there were no obstacles here, and people could still see the situation from devices like phones and Smart Brain.

So his purpose is to destroy the spiritual leader in the hearts of the Huazhou people under public scrutiny?

Understanding this, Huang Ying swiftly shouted, "Don’t let him get close to the statue—"

But the man had already thrown the little girl up into the air with force, then turned and sprinted towards the pure white statue.

Detectives among them with speed superpowers quickly moved forward to catch the little girl’s body.

As the hostage was unharmed, other detectives no longer held back and fully obstructed the man’s subsequent destructive actions.

But they were still a step too late.

Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound.

The man’s lightning superpower had shattered half of the statue’s arm.

The heavy white jade arm fell from the sky and heavily crashed onto the ground.

The shattered arm stunned everyone.

The base warriors guarding in front of the Huazhou Alliance parliament hall immediately moved forward to block.

Everyone thought he was going to rush into the parliament hall, unexpectedly his target was actually the statue.

The blue sky gradually darkened, and clouds, interspersed with rumbling sounds, gathered above the pristine statue.

"Boom—"

Snake-like flames flashed, striking the statue again.

This time, it hit right in the head.

When a deep crack appeared on the compassionate face, the crowd standing in the distance let out an exclamation.

"Ah...the general’s face..."

"My idol—"

"You guys hurry and stop him!"

"That madman, I want to kill him..."

Swearing, roaring, echoed in the enraged crowd.

Perhaps people who usually don’t pay attention to history or politics suddenly felt a sense of humiliation from having their spirit and dignity trampled upon.

They desperately tried to break through the blockade of base warriors and police, wanting to turn that madman into minced meat.

The crowd rioted.

Despite the detectives and base warriors continuously appeasing, they still couldn’t suppress the anger of the masses, who began to crash against the cordon.

What Huang Ying was always worried about happened, she couldn’t stop the man’s destruction, but she had to protect the children still in the crowd.

She pressed her lips together, was about to turn around when she heard the man’s manic laughter.

"The Commander isn’t dead, she has returned! We’ve all been deceived! Hahaha..."

Huang Ying’s pupils contracted, fearing he might say something outrageous again.

Suddenly—

The man’s laughter abruptly stopped, and he fell to the ground.

A slender needle was stuck in his neck.

Huang Ying didn’t know how many people on the scene heard this sentence, nor how many would post today’s events online.

But it was evident that this incident targeted Ji Ning.

This was their revenge and threat against Ji Ning.

Really foolish to the extreme...

Huang Ying coldly watched the farce in front of her, and turned to quickly head into the constantly conflicting crowd.

Amid the chaotic crowd, the unity of Anhe Middle School students finally showed, superpower students, those with strong physiques, surrounded several students slightly weaker in strength in the center.

Moving against the flow towards areas with fewer people.

In the process, they also saved several people who had been knocked down by the crowd and couldn’t get up.

This allowed them to avoid being injured in a stampede.

Screams, commotion, angry curses sounded one after another.

Lin Yuanyang, in such noisy and clattering surroundings, strained to use spiritual power to differentiate those voices inciting emotions, knowing this was a premeditated incident aimed at causing chaos, spreading the content of that previous shout.

Did Sister Ning receive news from over here?

While the concerned Ji Ning was rushing towards here, accompanied by the public report voice from Liu Yan’s communicator.

"What do you think?" Liu Yan’s expression was very serious.

Murderous intent kept surging in his eyes. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Under his jurisdiction, someone managed to exploit a loophole, and it was even his subordinate who personally created this chaos.

This was clearly aimed at Ji Ning and the Security Bureau.

All to avenge them.

These people are really asking for death...

He very much wanted to see what Ji Ning planned to do?

If she wanted to make a move, then he would give her the green light.

Determined to press those people down forever, never to rise again.

But Ji Ning’s expression was calm instead, always looking out the car window, making Liu Yan unable to discern her intentions.

After a while, she spoke, "The mastermind has a ’Commander.’ Now these actions are for momentum, for future power grabs. You guys need to be prepared. Later, the safety protocols for ordinary people and superpower users must be drafted in advance."

Liu Yan’s heart tensed, asking in surprise, "You’re not going to handle this later?"

Ji Ning turned back expressionlessly, "Am I your mom? Do I have to handle everything?"

"But..."

Ji Ning directly interrupted him, unceremoniously saying, "After the competition, I’ll go to West Continent. If they can’t control this little matter, Li Wenxin and the others better retire and let someone else step up."

Liu Yan opened his mouth, eventually choosing silence.

***

By the time they arrived, the chaotic crowd had been controlled, and rescue personnel were urgently treating those injured in the stampede.

Neither Anhe Middle School’s teachers nor students were injured and continuously helped carry people and transport the wounded.

This incident resulted in no deaths but injured over 30 people, with 8 arrests, including 3 individuals Lin Yuanyang pointed out as suspected of inciting crowd emotions.

Ji Ning got out of the car, just in time to see Bai Xiaotang and Hu Lingling among several girls helping lightly injured patients bandage their wounds.

Yao Meng was still beside them, frantically soothing children.

Taking advantage of a moment when the adults weren’t paying attention, she conjured ice flowers for a child to see, causing several toddlers in strollers to laugh heartily.

Seeing they were fine, Ji Ning did not disturb them and walked directly to the damaged statue.

The broken arm still lay on the ground, the crack on the face made the gentle-looking woman suddenly appear a bit fierce.

This was more like her, after all, she wasn’t someone compassionate.

"Leader Ji, you’re finally here. 51 is somewhat confused, please go have a look." The speaker was also a detective from the Beijing Security Bureau, having seen Ji Ning in the bureau, he immediately ran forward to report upon seeing her, completely forgetting that their own director also arrived at the scene.

When the two arrived at a particular ambulance, Detective 51 was sitting on the bed, staring blankly while playing with his fingers, with an occasional electric current sound from his fingertips.

Ji Ning used spiritual power to invade his brain, discovering his hippocampus and other organs responsible for memory were severely damaged.

The scars from above were caused by lightning superpowers.
