You don’t know how important this thing is, or how many people it could kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t forget why your parents lost their lives, don’t forget what kind of enemy we’re facing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the safety of the majority, he must be eliminated immediately. This is our duty, our mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, Boss Xiao...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No buts. Find a place with no one around, act, retrieve the item, and hide the body. I’ll send someone to handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb stood in the corner, staring with wide eyes, expression blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After over a minute, he adjusted his breathing and walked to the supermarket entrance, peering inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng bought a bottle of cola, two boxes of chips, two packs of spicy strips—extremely spicy—then strolled casually toward the checkout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying, Li Banfeng left the campus supermarket, walking along the path between the second teaching building and the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was lunch break, nearing summer vacation—no one was on this path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the path, not far ahead, was the school’s east gate; less than eight hundred meters from the gate was the subway station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng walked quickly along the path when Lightbulb suddenly blocked his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood less than five meters apart, locking eyes for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb took a deep breath and mentally rehearsed what he was supposed to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was supposed to say: “Put your hands on your head, squat down, and cooperate with our investigation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Li Banfeng squatted, that would be the perfect moment to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Lightbulb finally spoke, he said something else: “I don’t want to hurt you, but if you don’t obey my orders, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t something an Dark Star Bureau agent should say—but under extreme tension, the words slipped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb truly didn’t want to kill. He added to Li Banfeng: “Put your backpack on the ground, then extend your hands. Wait here with me for someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Lightbulb pulled out a pair of handcuffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to restrain Li Banfeng and wait for Boss Xiao to arrive. If Boss Xiao insisted on killing him, then Li Banfeng truly deserved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng nodded, unslung his backpack, and slowly placed it on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb’s gaze never left the backpack. The moment it touched the ground, his heart eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he’s just a student—doesn’t understand anything. Catching him is easier than catching a chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Xiao seeing him like this might spare his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb reached for the handcuffs to cuff Li Banfeng, but didn’t notice Li Banfeng pulling a spicy strip from his pant pocket—extremely spicy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng whipped his arm, hurling the strip at Lightbulb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within five meters, he never misses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strip struck Lightbulb’s left eye. Burning, searing pain surged—he immediately clapped his hand over his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a second strip flew out—Li Banfeng hit Lightbulb’s right eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb covered both eyes, blinded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected Li Banfeng would attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng truly didn’t want to get involved in this—this was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he was involved, he wouldn’t turn back—this was also true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A layer of oily, sticky fluid oozed from Lightbulb’s body—he prepared for a brutal fight with Li Banfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was nervous. This was his first real battle since joining the Dark Star Bureau. Faced with an emergency, he activated his dark energy ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So ruthless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Li Banfeng strikes with terrifying cunning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d underestimated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now blind, he mustn’t act recklessly—otherwise he’d suffer dearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, hold his ground, defend, and retreat to advance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Li Banfeng better at close combat or ranged attacks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close combat? No problem. He’s just a white lamb. If he faces me, he’s the one who’ll suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he’s ranged... that’s trouble...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long minutes passed. Lightbulb waited, but Li Banfeng didn’t attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the pain, Lightbulb opened his eyes—but Li Banfeng was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, he ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng, backpack in hand, had already reached the east gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb concentrated the sticky fluid on his feet, bent his knees, and pushed forward in alternating strides—like ice skating—he sprinted after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng ran fast too. He dashed eight hundred meters and sprinted into the subway entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the subway entrance, pedestrians grew thicker. Lightbulb retracted the sticky fluid, returning to a normal running posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to draw attention or harm innocent bystanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb entered the subway station—Li Banfeng had already boarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb rushed toward the doors, but “Ding-dong, ding-dong” rang—the doors closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Li Banfeng slide away through the carriage until he vanished into the tunnel, Lightbulb waited anxiously for the next train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—why am I waiting here for the subway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My car’s parked at the school. Why am I waiting for the subway here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think—where would he go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How do I know where he’s going? How do I know which station he’ll get off at?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chasing someone on the subway is too hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helplessly, Lightbulb called Xiao Zhenggong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Xiao, I lost him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhenggong’s tone was furious: “How could you lose him? Didn’t I tell you to kill him immediately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t find a good opportunity to act,” Lightbulb dared not admit he’d underestimated Li Banfeng and let him escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhenggong asked: “Which way did he go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He just boarded the subway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which line?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Line 4, 11:45, departed from University City, heading toward Meiyun Square.” Lightbulb remembered clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhenggong fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb was tense. He knew Xiao Zhenggong was furious. He quickly reported his idea: “Boss Xiao, if we contact the authorities to close all exits of Line 4, we’ll definitely catch Li Banfeng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhenggong roared: “Close subway exits? What are you thinking? Do you want this to spread across all of Yuezhou? Do you want everyone in Yuezhou to know you’re a useless fool?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb clenched his teeth, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhenggong thought a moment: “Line 4 leads to Yuezhou East Station. If Li Banfeng wants to leave the city, go straight to Yuezhou East Station and intercept him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb muttered: “We could notify the station not to let Li Banfeng board...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhenggong roared: “How many times must I tell you? This matter is critical—no leaks! No panic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The train station is crowded. If you spot him, don’t act yet. Wait for the right moment to kill him—absolutely no one must notice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb, your parents were heroes. I know you’re not a failure. This simple task—I believe you can handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t bring shame to the Dark Star Bureau. Don’t bring shame to your parents!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhenggong hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb sprinted back to campus, started his car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to East Station, Lightbulb gripped the steering wheel tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Useless fool!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t bring shame to your parents!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb wiped his swollen eyes, gritted his teeth repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s just a college student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s still a lunatic, isn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he escape me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I let him escape?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not a failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Banfeng really went to the station, he must be killed immediately—no mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhenggong put on civilian clothes, descended from the second floor of his villa to the garage, and started his car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightbulb, don’t make a scene. Don’t let anyone notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kill Li Banfeng, and you’ll get the item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll kill you again, and the matter will be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subway arrived at Yanbi Station; the next stop is Yuezhou East Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Li Banfeng’s left was a burly man, his dark blue clothes speckled with gray-white mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng smiled at the burly man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Li Banfeng’s right was a beautiful woman, her shoulder-length hair flowing, earphones in her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng also smiled at the beautiful woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this hour, I didn’t expect the subway to be this crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng opened his backpack and began taking off his clothes on the subway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The already crowded carriage instantly cleared a space; everyone around him cast strange glances and quickly retreated away from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After removing his clothes, Li Banfeng began taking off his pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful woman screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man screamed along with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some elders covered their children’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people stared at Li Banfeng and shouted in unison: “Pervert.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng took out a long-sleeved white shirt and black dress pants from his backpack and put them on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pulled out a hiking cap and placed it on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire process took less than a minute; before the carriage descended into total chaos, the subway reached Dong Station, and Li Banfeng immediately got off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exiting the subway station, he stood beside the train station turnstiles and sent a message to He Jiaqing: “Did you buy the ticket?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bought it. You can pass through the turnstile now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swiping his ID card through the turnstile, Li Banfeng saw the bulb standing beside it—but the bulb didn’t notice Li Banfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bulb was serious and tense, trying hard to observe every person entering the turnstile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was impossible: Dong Station’s passenger flow was astonishingly huge; too many people passed through, and he only paid attention to those wearing T-shirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After passing the turnstile, Li Banfeng relaxed. He Jiaqing sent a message: “Why did so many people call you a pervert on the subway?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he ask that? Couldn’t he see?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he only hear, not see?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng replied: “I changed clothes on the subway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you crazy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not crazy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you afraid of causing a disturbance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It took less than a minute. It’s not that serious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jiaqing couldn’t understand: “You changed that fast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng thought it was normal: “Don’t you wonder how I got out of the hospital in the first place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jiaqing replied: “You ran away? They didn’t bring you back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Banfeng didn’t bother explaining this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would they bother catching me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a psychiatric ward, not a mental hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited nearly half an hour beside the turnstile—the bulb never saw Li Banfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bulb grew more anxious when he suddenly saw Deputy Team Leader Xiao Zheng appear before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Team Leader Xiao, what are you doing here…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long are you planning to wait here?” Xiao Zheng showed his credentials, said two words to the staff, and led the bulb straight through the turnstile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning the waiting hall, Xiao Zheng took the bulb to the far end of the second waiting area, passed the restroom, and entered an underground passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(5 PM.
