As the man in a suit was about to reach them, a dark purple gleam flashed across the sharp dagger in his hand.
However, Qi Yuan did not hurry to deal with this attacker. He bent down to grab Xinxin's nape from his trouser leg and lifted her off.
This man's target was obviously Xinxin. The moment Qi Yuan picked her up, he immediately changed his attack target and pointed the dagger at her.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of blade energy ripped through the air, severing the man's arm. Before he could react, his dagger-holding arm fell to the ground, blood spilling everywhere.
"Ahhhh!"
"Murder!"
"Quick, call the patrol team!"
The once cheerful atmosphere was drowned out by the screams. People screamed and retreated, beginning to flee in panic.
The crowd shoved and trampled each other, causing painful cries. The scene became chaotic.
Having his thunder stolen, Qi Yuan immediately captured the silhouette of the attacker. But he was hiding in the distant shadows, blending into the chaotic crowd.
At this moment, Qi Yuan also had no time to chase after him. He noticed the dagger-wielding man let out a howl a few meters away from him. Soon, a tearing sound like ripping fabric rang out.
The man in the suit hunched over, his face twisted in agony. Although it was his right hand that was severed, he used his remaining left hand to clutch his back.
With this move, Qi Yuan noticed his back bulging, as if something was writhing under his clothes.
The man suddenly let out a loud roar before stiffly falling forward onto the ground.
Rip!
The sound of clothes being torn came. A pair of tentacles emerged from within, followed by the head, chest, wing covers and abdomen. The paired appendages spread open the man's back to make way for the other body parts to crawl out from inside the man.
This was a corpse-eating queen bee.
The man in a suit was brutally torn apart by the emerging bee, lying bloodied and mangled on the floor.
After crawling out of the man's body, it extended its mouthpart into the man's body, sucking his blood.
Hearing the crowd's screams, the patrol team on duty rushed over and witnessed the scene of the bee emerging from the man's body.
They immediately killed the bee.
Strangely, despite having sucked a large amount of blood, no blood flowed out when the bee was slain.
After settling the matter, Qi Yuan heard the patrol team members talking among themselves.
"The Anti-Superpower Association?"
"Not sure. Not all people parasitized are against superpowers."
Someone interjected their conversation, "Who cares about their identity after being parasitized. They're all puppets of the corpse-eating queen bee anyway."
"You're right."
They no longer dwelled on the man's identity and started cleaning up the scene.
A female patrol officer came up to Qi Yuan and squatted down to Xinxin's eye level.
"Poor thing, did you get frightened?"
Xinxin shook her head, tugging Qi Yuan's trousers timidly. "Not scared. Big brother helped drive the monster uncle away."
The female officer used an exaggerated tone to soothe the child, "Wow, you're so amazing and brave to not be scared by all that!"
Hearing the little girl's words, Qi Yuan explained to the leading male officer, "It wasn't me. Just now someone kind released a blade energy and left."
Apart from not wanting to claim credit, Qi Yuan was also worried the person might be from an illegal organization and reported it to the patrol team immediately.
Before the leading male officer could respond, the petite girl quickly bleated in her tender voice, "Big brother was the one who drove the monster away. Big brother is even more awesome than Xinxin."
This little rascal...
Qi Yuan moved his foot away. Brats will be brats regardless of gender.
"It really wasn't me. I have no need to lie about this."
In Qi Yuan's opinion, between him and a little kid, who to believe was obvious if one had to choose. Hence, he did not elaborate further.
Hearing his words, the female officer and leading male exchanged thoughtful looks, seemingly trying to think of someone who fit his description.
Seeing that no one believed her words, Xinxin pouted angrily, "Xinxin did not lie. It was big brother who drove it away."
After that, she stomped forcefully on Qi Yuan's foot, "Liar big brother! You obviously did it, so why are you lying?"
This rotten kid...
Qi Yuan moved his foot away again. Bratty children were all the same regardless of gender.
Deciding to depart coolly, Qi Yuan turned back upon hearing Xinxin's words. He bent down to look straight into her black and white eyes.
He was very certain this seemingly harmless little girl did it on purpose.
To prevent his fantasies about the cute little girl from shattering further, Qi Yuan decided to nip it completely.
"The prestigious Qi Family. Are you sure you want to continue this act?"
Other children might not understand the underlying warning, but this little girl definitely would.
Her eyes rolled around before she played dumb again, "Big brother, what are you talking about?"
Her expression was completely natural.
But she did not notice that her current pretense was too disjointed from her earlier bawling. Even the soft-hearted female officer sensed something amiss.
Qi Yuan said nothing. He simply straightened up and left.
This time he departed smoothly without any pesky wailing.
Having been delayed repeatedly, only the security guard was present when he entered the venue.
The men inside wore tailored suits while the women were clad in elegant dresses. They congregated in groups of three or five, chatting and toasting.
But there were exceptions. Some wore combat uniforms, others were fully armored, and there were even those in bizarre costumes.
Qi Yuan saw a certain everlasting fashion of wearing underwear over pants.
"I thought you weren't coming."
Just as he entered, Qi Yuan heard a voice. He turned his head to see a young man leaning against the wall.
Like him, the young man wore a suit, albeit a red one, which highlighted his personality. His professionally styled hair looked fashionable yet steady.
Seeing Qi Yuan's confusion, the young man came over.
"Xue Shiyun told me to look out for you if I'm free."
"Oh right, I'm Liao Shiquan."
Having waited for so long without the person showing up, Liao Shiquan had wondered for a moment if Xue Shiyun had weird taste.
What did she mean by Qi Yuan being much more good looking than him...
Asking her for information, she even equivocated, saying she couldn't make decisions on her own. As a result, all he knew was a name.
Although Qi Yuan was not much more handsome, he admitted the other was slightly better looking. Ahem.
Captain Xue?
In his new city, hearing a familiar name made Qi Yuan, who had just left, feel somewhat nostalgic.
Captain Xue's good personality still remained as ever.
"Just call me Qi Yuan. Are all these top-tier superhumans?"
Qi Yuan asked his biggest doubt.
Even in Shen City, there wouldn't be A-levels as common as dogs and S-levels everywhere right...
