Chapter 572

As for what to do next.

There are two more things.

One thing is to test the capacity of the Wanrong Backpack.

The second thing involves an important clue and five clue fragments.

Ning Chen looked at the scattered firearms on the ground, then summoned the Wanrong Backpack from his system space.

It was a tiny object, like a white pouch, or perhaps a small backpack.

Under Ning Chen's testing, it could easily adhere to objects, and unless removed by Ning Chen, it would only move with whatever it was attached to.

This aspect was quite good.

Next was its ability.

Ning Chen moved to a position about ten meters from the assault rifle, then turned his back and initiated object manipulation.

This was to test whether he could manipulate an object without seeing it.

But it failed.

Ning Chen then imagined the scene of where the assault rifle sat—this time, there was movement.

The assault rifle shot upward swiftly, hurtling toward Ning Chen, about to strike his back.

Ning Chen controlled it to curve around his body, circling back.

This too was a form of training.

"Is the Wanrong Backpack meant for storing things?" Ning Chen stared at the small pouch in his hand, puzzled.

How does this thing store things?

It could barely fit a smartphone!

"Try it—the name itself is 'Wanrong,' so it must have something extraordinary."

Only to see

Ning Chen used object manipulation to float the assault rifle toward the white pouch.

He kept pushing it toward the opening.

The Wanrong Backpack sensed an object attempting to enter.

The entire pouch suddenly expanded considerably, yet still could not fit the assault rifle.

Then, in Ning Chen's astonished gaze,

the assault rifle shrank dramatically several times over and slipped inside the white pouch.

"This thing! Can it shrink objects?" Ning Chen tested the white pouch and found only objects intending to enter the backpack could be shrunk.

And once retrieved, they returned to their original size.

"This is a valuable item," Ning Chen said, nodding in satisfaction as he held the Wanrong Backpack.

Now he could finally carry many things with him.

For example, if he'd had a shovel while digging the pit earlier, it would've been much easier.

After placing all nearby items into the Wanrong Backpack,

Ning Chen glanced at the bloodstains on the ground—there was nothing he could do; they'd have to stay.

Besides, the blood's owner was a foreigner; no one could track him down.

Then he turned his gaze to the small hill.

Previously, Ning Chen had sensed a sniper rifle aiming at him.

So,

there must still be weapons on the hill.

Ning Chen scanned his surroundings, confirmed no other threats, then sprinted toward the small hill.

His speed was so great,

it was like a Category 8 gale had erupted.

Soon,

atop the small hill,

Ning Chen saw a black weapon case lying nearby.

He leaned in to inspect it—inside were various firearms and scattered ammunition.

The most striking item was the long sniper rifle.

Ning Chen pulled it out and casually swung it around.

Though it wasn't as powerful as his fully-charged Thru-Spear throw,

it was still a very potent weapon.

If he were to invade Chiang Mai,

it would be useful.

Ning Chen flipped through the rest of the contents and found a smartphone.

This likely held numerous clues.

"Good find, take it," Ning Chen put the phone inside, then picked up the weapon case and shoved it into the Wanrong Backpack.

The Wanrong Backpack, like an endless void, swallowed the weapon case whole.

Ning Chen saw all tasks were completed.

He rested for a while,

then turned his attention to the next item.

Important information and clue fragments.

419. So, after all, who is the greatest?

Inside the Xia Dao Police Station.

Hearing Hua Ping Ping and the others' police cars drove into the police station one after another.

At the head, Xia Dao Police Station Chief Tan Tong led a group of officers in a warm welcome.

Tang Xin, who had been treated by Ning Chen earlier, was also in the crowd.

They were like robots, clapping their hands as they watched police car after police car enter the courtyard.

In their hearts, they were all curious.

As the number one figure in the police force, what kind of person is Hearing Hua Ping Ping, exactly?

Very quickly.

All the vehicles had parked.

Then everyone got out of their cars.

Hearing Hua Ping Ping, holding a file folder, walked at the very front, while the rest followed behind.

Ren Xiaoping, looking at the self-important Hearing Hua Ping Ping, complained to Xu Si: "He really knows how to put on an act!"

Xu Si, however, made a shushing gesture and said nothing.

"Tch!" Ren Xiaoping was somewhat dissatisfied. "You're on his side too!"

Xu Si smiled, pressed his palms together, looking as if to say, "Please! Please!"

"Team Leader Hua! I've heard of you long ago; welcome your arrival!" Xia Dao Police Station Chief Tan Tong immediately walked over, greeting with a smiling face.

Regarding Hearing Hua Ping Ping, he dared not be negligent.

Hearing Hua Ping Ping first saluted Tan Tong, and the latter did the same.

"I am here by order to conduct an investigation; I request that you all cooperate with me!"

Tan Tong smiled and said, "This is only what should be done; we have also received instructions."

"Good!" Hearing Hua Ping Ping nodded, then said to Tan Tong, "Starting now, you dispatch personnel to guard the entrances and exits of the cross-sea bridge. Every vehicle entering or exiting must undergo personnel checks; there must be no carelessness!"

"Ah?" This move left Tan Tong completely stunned.

They had only just arrived.

And he was already giving out task instructions?

Moreover, such a complex task right off the bat?

To supervise the entire cross-sea bridge, how many police forces would need to be dispatched!?

"This... doesn't seem quite appropriate," Tan Tong said with an apologetic smile. "Team Leader Hua, this requires quite a lot of police manpower. Our officers currently still have cases to handle, and moreover, our Xia Dao police force is already small in number and insufficient for such deployment."

This remark made Hearing Hua Ping Ping frown.
