Ground floor.
The police officers blocked off the only exit in and out of this building.
They didn't bother with people going in, only those coming out.
Anyone wanting to leave had to undergo inspection by the officers.
They did this to prevent Xu Mo from disguising himself as someone else and slipping out.
This time, it was truly like catching a turtle in a jar!
The entire building had only one door for entry and exit.
The sole entrance and exit was now guarded by them.
Anyone coming out had to be checked before being allowed to leave.
Xu Mo's disguise skills were completely useless.
Moreover, Xu Mo was entirely unaware of this situation.
Livestream chat:
"It feels like Xu Mo is really done for this time. The exit is guarded by police. By the looks of it, even if Xu Mo uses his disguise skills, he won't be able to get out."
"It's over. Xu Mo is finished. He's totally barbecued this time!"
"Xu Mo isn't completely without a chance of escape. If he could take down these dozens of officers single-handedly, he could break through."
"One against dozens? Are you dreaming?"
"Or maybe Xu Mo can fly and just fly out of a twentieth-floor window to escape."
"Now you're really dreaming. How could a person possibly fly? He's not a bird!"
"There's another possibility. Do you think Xu Mo might have learned free climbing? If he has, he might be able to climb down from the twentieth floor."
"..."
After triple-checking that the police had left the neighboring room,
Xu Mo walked out of room 2010 and came to the door of 2011 next door.
He opened the door and went in.
As soon as he entered, Xu Mo discovered that the door to the secret room had been opened.
There was no one in the secret room, and there were two unfinished self-heating hotpots on the table.
He could guess that the pursuit team had beaten him to it and arrested the two fugitives hiding in the secret room.
Xu Mo was stunned.
He had clearly arrived first.
He didn't expect someone to swoop in and steal his prize.
"What a pity..."
Sighing, he didn't linger any longer.
Xu Mo turned and left the room.
He came to the elevator, pressed the down button, and waited for it to arrive, preparing to go downstairs.
Seeing this scene,
The livestream viewers immediately erupted into a frenzy.
"It's over. He's really going to be caught. He doesn't even know the ground floor is surrounded by police, and he's actually taking the elevator."
"Won't he be finished as soon as he steps out of the elevator? He'll probably be pinned down on the spot!"
"Hehe... It's good if he gets caught. I want to sign up for the show! I'll gladly take over the four beautiful female assistants he leaves behind."
"..."
Xu Mo stood waiting at the elevator door for two minutes.
The elevator ascended to the 20th floor.
Coincidentally, two people walked out of the elevator.
They were discussing how there was a bunch of police officers downstairs checking everyone who was leaving.
The speakers were unaware, but the listener took note.
Originally, Xu Mo didn't know about this.
He was about to take the elevator down and continue to catch other fugitives.
He hadn't even thought that the police might have set up a trap downstairs.
In fact, he should be thankful to these two people for providing him with this crucial information.
Livestream chat:
The viewers were all stunned.
"???"
"No way? How can this even happen!?"
"Xu Mo's luck is simply unbelievable... I wonder if there's going to be a twist next?"
"+1, I also think there's going to be a twist. Before, Xu Mo didn't know, but now that he does, he should have a way to deal with it, right?"
"..."
If it were anyone else, knowing that the police were waiting on the first floor for them to walk into the trap, they certainly wouldn't choose to go down at this time.
But Xu Mo did exactly the opposite.
As soon as the two people in the elevator walked out, Xu Mo walked in.
He seemed completely unconcerned about being caught by the officers waiting on the first floor.
The elevator slowly descended.
When it reached the seventh floor, the doors opened.
Then quickly closed, and the elevator continued downward...
Ground floor.
With a "ding," the elevator doors automatically opened.
An Old Man walked out, hunched over and holding a cane.
Seeing someone walking out, several officers immediately approached.
After briefly explaining the situation, they prepared to inspect the Old Man.
Who would have thought, the Old Man had no intention of cooperating.
He raised his cane as if to strike.
"What are you doing? Don't come near me!"
"Sir, please calm down. We're police officers, not bad people. This is a routine check. Could you please cooperate?"
"Go away, get out of here. I have urgent business. I don't have time to waste on you. Don't block my way."
With that, the Old Man simply ignored the officers and tried to push through.
He held his cane, looking as if he would hit anyone who blocked his path.
The officers realized this wouldn't do and formed a line, blocking the Old Man's way.
They knew about Xu Mo's disguise skills and that he could potentially disguise himself as anyone to slip out.
This was precisely why they needed to check everyone leaving.
No one had special privileges!
Seeing the officers block his path,
The Old Man didn't hesitate to raise his cane and swing it at one of the officers.
Fortunately, the officer was quick and caught the cane.
He gave a final warning to the Old Man.
"Sir, we've explained very clearly. We are police officers on duty. If you don't cooperate, we'll have to take forceful measures."
"I don't care who you are! You little brat, you dare to grab my cane? Let go! I'll have you know, I've had training!"
The Old Man glared with fury.
So... the officers decided to use force.
They didn't care whether the Old Man cooperated or not and directly started checking his face for signs of disguise.
After the inspection, they found nothing unusual.
The officer in charge of the check shook his head: "It's not him. Let him go."
He said, releasing the cane and looking apologetically at the Old Man.
"Sorry, sir. It's our duty. We hope you understand."
The next second, the Old Man did something no one expected.
Instead of leaving immediately, he lay down on the ground.
He had originally intended to go out to the street.
Who knew that before he could even leave the complex, right after coming downstairs, this happened!
Officers: "???"
Was he trying to scam them right to their faces!?
Meanwhile,
At the fire station.
The dispatcher received an emergency call.
"Fire? Where? Apartment 706 in Lijing Garden Residential Complex, right? Okay, we'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone,
The alarm sounded.
In less than a minute, the firefighters were assembled.
Without hesitation, they drove off towards Lijing Garden Residential Complex.
In firefighting operations, saving lives always comes first.
Considering that the fire was on the seventh floor, in order to rescue people from the fire scene as quickly as possible, the firefighters on duty took the special fire truck equipped with an aerial ladder used for rescuing people from high-rise buildings.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
