The bomb disposal was successful, and the crisis was averted. The SWAT team leader glanced at Xu Mo in the distance. This young man was quite interesting...
First, he identified the locations of all the timed bombs by listening to the sounds, helping them find all the bombs in the shortest time possible.
Then, he pointed out the method for disarming the bomb. According to Xu Mo, they should cut both the blue and yellow wires simultaneously. And sure enough, the bomb didn't explode. This guy really knew his stuff!
At the same time, Han Fei, rarely raising his voice, shouted at Xu Mo.
"What were you running over there for? Didn't you know it was dangerous? What if something had happened to you? You were just causing trouble for everyone!"
This time, Xu Mo was too reckless. They were in the middle of disarming the bomb, and he suddenly ran over. How dangerous was that? If something had gone wrong, who would be responsible?
This was Xu Mo, after all. If it had been any other officer, Han Fei might have already started disciplining them.
Seeing this situation, the SWAT team leader quickly walked over to Han Fei with the already disarmed timed bomb in hand.
Before he even arrived, he began to explain on Xu Mo's behalf.
"Captain Han, calm down. You've misunderstood Xu Mo. He wasn't causing trouble; in fact, I wouldn't have been able to disarm this bomb without him."
Hearing this, Han Fei looked puzzled. "Huh? Without him, you couldn't disarm the bomb? What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is, the method for disarming the bomb was what Xu Mo told me just now. If it weren't for Xu Mo, this timed bomb would have already exploded. He wasn't causing trouble for me; on the contrary, he helped me out a great deal."
This wasn't just empty praise. If it weren't for Xu Mo, the bomb would have definitely exploded. The SWAT team leader had studied the bomb for a while but couldn't figure out how to disarm it.
Even if he had managed to throw the bomb away before it exploded, the shockwave from the explosion would have injured him. While it might not have been fatal, the impact would have been enough to put him in the hospital for a month or so.
The method for disarming the bomb was taught by Xu Mo!?
Han Fei was dumbfounded.
He found himself increasingly unable to understand Xu Mo.
Just how many things could Xu Mo do? It felt like there was nothing he couldn't do.
Being able to accurately locate the timed bombs by ear was one thing; this could just be attributed to Xu Mo having exceptionally good hearing, a natural advantage.
But directing the disarming of a bomb? And directing the SWAT team leader, of all people! The SWAT team leader was the expert here! If Xu Mo could direct a professional like him, that must mean... Xu Mo was even more professional than the SWAT team leader?
Han Fei looked at Xu Mo beside him, then at the SWAT team leader holding the bomb.
"Xu Mo, well done..."
Xu Mo: "......"
One second you're accusing me of causing trouble, and the next you're praising me. Your mood swings are way too fast!
If the SWAT team leader knew that Xu Mo's combat skills and marksmanship were also outstanding, ranking among the top in the force, he might have immediately tried to recruit Xu Mo for his team.
The SWAT team leader smiled, shaking the disarmed bomb in his hand.
"I'll take care of this bomb. The rest is up to you."
"Oh, and..." He looked at Xu Mo again. "Thank you."
With that, he left, rejoining his team.
At that moment, the other SWAT officers had just secured the bombs in the armored containment vessel on their vehicle and were returning to check on their captain.
As they met, the officers saw the bomb in their captain's hand, now with the countdown stopped, realizing that he had successfully disarmed it.
"I told you our captain is blessed by fortune. He managed to disarm the bomb."
"Amazing, captain! You disarmed it in just three minutes!"
"You're the best, captain! You're my hero!"
"Alright, alright, stop flattering me. Although it's disarmed, it wasn't me who did it. This bomb almost went off. It's thanks to Xu Mo... If he hadn't told me the method to disarm it at the last moment, the bomb would have already exploded."
"Xu Mo? The guy who located the bombs by ear?"
"Yes, that's him. This young man is quite interesting. He's quite a talent." The captain smiled and continued, "That's taken care of. The rest is none of our business. How about you? Are the bombs secured?"
"Don't worry, captain. The bombs are safely in the containment vessel."
The containment vessel was a thick metal container made of high-strength, impact-resistant special steel. It could withstand the energy produced by a certain amount of TNT explosion and contain the fragments generated by the explosion, preventing the shockwave and debris from spreading and injuring people. Putting the timed bombs inside meant that even if they exploded, they wouldn't cause any harm.
...
On the other side.
With the threat of the timed bombs hurting people resolved, the officers began investigating the origin of these bombs.
There were many surveillance cameras at the bus terminal, and with the help of the staff there, the officers started reviewing the footage.
In the surveillance video, they saw the following scene.
Last night, a man carrying a backpack and dressed strangely climbed over the wall into the bus terminal. He stayed there for a long time, and the surveillance cameras captured him crawling under multiple bus chassis.
Combined with the fact that all the bombs were found under the bus chassis, it wasn't hard to deduce that he was the one who planted the bombs.
"This guy was acting suspiciously. It's almost certain that he planted the bombs. The backpack he was carrying likely contained the timed bombs," Li Chen pointed at the monitor.
Others agreed; his actions were just too obvious. He didn't even try to avoid the cameras, doing everything in plain sight.
It's worth mentioning that after planting all the timed bombs under the bus chassis, this man even posed with a peace sign towards the camera.
He even dared to pose with a peace sign! This was practically begging the officers to catch him!
"That's the guy. Run a facial recognition search and find him. I want to see him within an hour!" Han Fei was furious.
In all his years of service, he had never encountered such a brazen criminal.
Planting bombs on buses was one thing, but openly taunting the officers with the surveillance camera?
Did he really think the police were just there for show?
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

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.
