Twisted Dreams-Chapter 159 - 131: Heart Scale
[Talent: Heart Scale]
[Heart Scale: It weighs with feathers and the soul, a soul heavier than a feather is evil, a soul lighter than a feather is good.]
[When facing evil beings, the Soul Hooker gains the Death God’s blessing status, doubling combat power.]
[Upon defeating evil beings, the Soul Hooker can absorb part of the Spiritual Power of the evil being.]
[When facing benevolent beings, the Soul Hooker does not receive the blessing.]
The masked man’s fireball possessed his Spiritual Power, and the power originating from the Sea of Spirit, in the world of the Soul Hooker, could also be called the Power of the Soul.
The masked man, who fancied himself a knight, was deemed an evil being in the face of Heart Scale.
Cao Yi received the blessing of the Death God, his combat power doubled!
The masked man exclaimed in shock:
"You, you’re also an Extraordinary?!"
Cao Yi sneered:
"Never underestimate the power of the authorities."
The masked man roared angrily and charged at Cao Yi.
Cao Yi’s Spiritual Power had reached Tier Two, but he didn’t have other powerful skill talents.
The Heart Scale had only two uses in combat.
One, when facing evil beings, combat power doubles.
Two, the enemy’s first attack can be weighed by the Heart Scale, meaning the first attack can be immune—an incredibly powerful conceptual ability.
But even though Cao Yi didn’t have a powerful combat talent nor developed combat skills, this top student from the University of Political Science and Law’s Security Department had great prowess in body techniques.
Cao Yi’s eyes burned with black flames, and with the blessing of Spiritual Power, both his strength and speed reached unprecedented peaks.
His mastery of fighting technique was executed with precision, swiftly subduing the masked man, binding his hands and feet.
The masked man lay on the ground, struggling and roaring in anger, while the man with glasses gratefully ran over:
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Cao Yi glanced at him:
"First, take care of your son’s matters. Don’t leave the hospital these days, someone will come to record the details."
The man with glasses nodded repeatedly and ran off into the distance with a bag in his arms.
Cao Yi sat on the masked man, thought for a moment, and dialed a phone number.
Half an hour later, a black business car pulled up.
Three men in black got out of the car.
The leading man in black walked up to Cao Yi and showed his credentials:
"Security Administration, stationed at South Sea Safety Management Station, Intermediate Administrator, Wu Xiaofeng."
Cao Yi glanced at the credentials and said:
"According to the regulations of the Security Administration, Extraordinary criminals are under your jurisdiction, take him away."
Wu Xiaofeng waved his hand, and the two administrators behind him escorted the masked man to the car.
Wu Xiaofeng said expressionlessly:
"Director Cao, thank you for everything you’ve done for the Security Administration.
But please remember, Extraordinary criminals are not something your Public Security Bureau can handle.
Next time you encounter such a situation, remember to call the Security Administration first."
Cao Yi laughed in anger:
"Should I stand by and do nothing when encountering evil-doers?!"
Wu Xiaofeng frowned:
"I just don’t want you to cause trouble for our Security Administration.
If the Director of the Public Security Bureau is killed by an Extraordinary criminal, that’s a major dereliction of duty by the Security Administration.
This time you were just lucky enough to catch this Extraordinary criminal.
Good luck won’t always favor you.
We all belong to the same system, let’s be considerate of each other and not hinder each other’s future prospects, okay?"
Cao Yi looked at Wu Xiaofeng coldly:
"Future prospects?"
Wu Xiaofeng looked back at his subordinates to ensure they couldn’t hear his words, and then teased while looking at Cao Yi:
"Isn’t Director Cao taking life-threatening risks to catch Extraordinary criminals for a reason?
Isn’t it for future prospects?
We are all in the same boat, who doesn’t know who?"
Cao Yi stood up slowly and said:
"Kid, you used to be in the security system, right?"
Wu Xiaofeng smiled disdainfully and looked at Cao Yi playfully:
"Yes, I used to be with the Imperial City Public Security Bureau, often hearing stories about Director Cao when I was in the Military Officer Corps."
He implied: the past is the past, solving future cases will rely on the Extraordinary.
The Spiritual Power of the Extraordinary is wondrous, sometimes more effective than precision instruments.
The era belonging to Cao Yi will eventually pass.
Cao Yi rubbed his neck:
"Seems like your mentor in the Military Officer Corps never taught you how to respect your elders!"
With that, Cao Yi swung his fist towards Wu Xiaofeng.
Wu Xiaofeng was initially stunned.
This Director Cao is so reckless, ignoring his status to take action against him?
Soon, Wu Xiaofeng nodded slightly, a sneer of derision crossing his lips.
Isn’t fighting Wu Xiaofeng just asking for trouble?
Wu Xiaofeng reached out, intending to grab Cao Yi’s fist.
The next second, the fist enveloped with strong Spiritual Power collided with Wu Xiaofeng’s hand like a freight truck.
Wu Xiaofeng was sent flying several meters, clutching his arm, looking at Cao Yi in shock:
"You, how could you! You’re an Extraordinary too!"
Wu Xiaofeng’s arm was limp, apparently broken.
Cao Yi looked down at Wu Xiaofeng from above:
"First, whether it’s an Extraordinary criminal or an ordinary criminal.
As long as it’s on my turf, no one’s allowed to act tough and bully others!
Second, as for the future, I’ve already become the Director of the South Sea Public Security Bureau, ranked as a full department head!
Third, you must be really unfamiliar with me, forgotten my nickname!
Just because you’re some kind of damn Administrator, you think you can show your teeth in front of me?
Kid, you’re still too green!"
Since becoming an Extraordinary, Wu Xiaofeng had long felt he was above the security system, even above the mundane world.
Security Administrators belong directly under the Security Administration, and even if they make mistakes, it’s the Security Administration that judges them.
He had long forgotten Cao Yi’s ’famous reputation’.
What was Cao Yi’s nickname that he didn’t know?
Living Yama!
After finishing his statement, Cao Yi flexed his wrist.
Wu Xiaofeng held his head in terror:
"Brother Yi, don’t hit me, my master used to be with you!"
Cao Yi’s face darkened slightly.
If all Security Administrators were of this caliber, the Security Administration would really be scraping the bottom of the barrel!
He let out a cold snort and walked toward the end of the old street.
Cao Yi’s back was cold and determined, but... his expression was very exaggerated.
He laughed exaggeratedly.
Refreshing!
Damn it, I’ve been putting up with these punks’ crap for the past few months.
With the Spiritual Energy Revival and an unclear situation, he dared not act lightly against these few Administrators.
Now that he’s an Extraordinary too, what hammer is he afraid of?
After beating Wu Xiaofeng today, tomorrow Elder He will know that Cao Yi is also a strong Extraordinary, and he’ll have to account for it.
For instance... taking a temporary position at the Security Administration, participating in Security Administration cases.
Cao Yi still remembered what the pharmacy owner said to him.
As long as he joined the Security Administration, he’d receive a new magical potion with even greater power!
Why did Cao Yi want to announce to the Imperial Capital in such an extreme manner that he was also an Extraordinary?
Cao Yi just wanted to smack Wu Xiaofeng and vent his frustration over the past few months.
...
The next day, South Sea Public Security Bureau.
Wearing a black suit, Wei Ming led Blue Whale Team members to knock on the director’s office door.
"Come in."
A voice full of energy sounded from inside.
Wei Ming entered the office.
Cao Yi, who had lost his previous dejection upon their last meeting, was now wearing a brand new Sheriff’s uniform, looking vigorous.
Wei Ming respectfully said:
"Brother Yi, long time no see."
Cao Yi smiled and said:
"Sit."
Wei Ming took a seat:
"I wanted to ask you some questions, when did you become an Extraordinary?
Hmm, forget it, I don’t need to ask this, I’m guessing you wouldn’t want to answer."
Cao Yi looked at Wei Ming with amusement:
"Is this question so important?
Is it that I can’t answer just because I don’t want to?"
Wei Ming forced a smile and said:
"If you don’t want to answer and lie to us, no one can find a flaw in your lie.
False information will only lead us astray, so it’s better not to ask."
Cao Yi’s smile gradually faded as he seriously appraised Wei Ming:
"You’ve grown quite a bit."
Wei Ming thought of his sister and showed a forced smile:
"There’s no choice, I was ignorant before, now I have to be sensible, so I’ll get straight to the point.
Can I see your Extraordinary Power?"
Cao Yi extended his hand, and an illusory Heart Scale materialized in his palm.
Currently, most Extraordinary individuals are either power-type, speed-type, or able to use the elements of water, fire, and wind, as well as control talismans.
Cao Yi is definitely an anomaly, an anomaly like Zhang Xiaoyi and Xie Qilin.
Wei Ming’s expression grew grim:
"Would you be willing to join the Security Administration."
Cao Yi didn’t respond directly, saying:
"I heard your Senior Administrator’s rank is deputy department head."
Wei Ming said:
"You’ll retain your position as Director of the South Sea Public Security Bureau, but you’ll be required to take on tasks for the Security Administration."
Cao Yi grinned broadly, unable to hide his amusement:
"I accept the organization’s arrangement."
