Chapter 49: Is This a Human?!

Two kilometers away.

Inside a narrow, dim alley.

"Huff... huff..."

Black Panther gasped heavily, his chest heaving violently.

He leaned against the cold wall, his complexion as pale as paper, cold sweat dripping drop by drop.

It wasn't from being exhausted.

It was being scared to death!

"Damn... too... too terrifying!"

In his mind, Su Ming's final, world‑shaking scene still echoed.

That ghost‑like speed, that instant burst of terrifying power!

And those... eyes so cold they held no emotion!

Is this a human?!

"How... how did he even discover me?"

The thought clung to him like a nightmare, refusing to let go.

He is, after all, Black Panther!

When on a mission, he is a leopard hidden within the shadows.

He can lurk for three days and three nights, tracking a target across the entire city, yet never be spotted by any target.

Within the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau.

His codename marks him as the top‑tier tracking and counter‑tracking specialist!

But today...

A seemingly ordinary young man...

Actually... actually discovered his existence instead!

"No... no! Must report immediately!"

Black Panther forced himself to stay calm, took out his phone, and dialed the encrypted line.

"Beep... beep..."

"Hello?"

"I am Black Panther! I... request immediate extraction!"

Black Panther's voice trembled.

This is undoubtedly the most embarrassing moment of his career!

"Target... the target has spotted me!"

"What?!"

"I... I almost got caught by him!"

Black Panther took a deep breath and reported everything he had observed while lurking, without omitting any detail.

Including how Su Ming strolled into the encirclement as if taking a leisurely walk.

How he knocked the scar‑faced leader away with a single punch.

How, within a minute, he slaughtered all the armed members of the Black Shadow organization, numbering over a dozen!

Jiangcheng, Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau.

Inside the command center, a death‑like silence fell.

Qin Feng, Zhou Yan, Lin Wan, and all the staff.

All stared in stunned silence, listening through their headsets to Black Panther's still‑shaken breathing.

Hard to imagine.

Usually calm, steady, even a bit cold‑hearted Black Panther, has now lost composure over a single target to this extent!

"I only captured one photo, take a look!"

Soon, the photo was projected onto the big screen.

It was still Su Ming.

Only this time, the angle was clear, no longer a profile.

Lin Wan stared fixedly at the screen, pupils contracting.

She sprang up, letting out a startled shout.

"I remember!"

"It's him! At the Vegetable Market!"

Qin Feng frowned.

"What did you say? Which Vegetable Market?"

"It... it was that day!"

Lin Wan's eyes lit up, her tone a bit urgent.

"The day we dealt with the Evil Monk Calamity at the Vegetable Market, the abnormal Energy Fluctuation I sensed must have been him!"

She paused, recalling the scene from that day.

"At the time I thought it was an illusion, I thought it was the Evil Monk's residual energy!"

"But now it seems that Energy Fluctuation among the crowd... was him!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's expression grew extremely grave.

Back then...

So they were the ones being observed by the other side?!

He knows the Black Panther's strength better than anyone.

Before the altar anomaly, the Black Panther was a dedicated tracking scout, highly professional, an Ace Card among Ace Cards.

After the altar era, corresponding gear was specially allocated.

In terms of speed, stealth, and other aspects, all are top‑grade!

But this time…

"Captain…"

Suddenly, a weak voice sounded.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

They saw a female team member, her expression odd as she pointed at the screen.

"Is this… could this be… the person who triggered the Golden Light and Red Light incidents?"

Sss!

The moment the words ended, the command center was filled with sharp inhalations of cold air.

Several senior analysts shook their heads, their faces full of disbelief.

"Impossible, right… this… this is too absurd!"

"He looks too young, and seems to have no real background…"

In their impression, a strongman of that level.

Either a vicious wanted criminal.

Or an Ace Card hidden by the military district.

Or a secret weapon cultivated by some major power that poured all its resources into it.

A young person who appears harmless to both humans and beasts?

Impossible!

Qin Feng rubbed his face.

He also had a pounding headache.

The world is changing too fast.

So fast that even they, as professionals, can't keep up with the pace.

However…

He also thought that the connection between these two matters shouldn't be significant!

These past few days they've been busy front and back, pouring resources, yet they couldn't find many clues.

Because of a melodramatic love‑hate saga, it was exposed?

That's absolutely impossible!

Just as everyone was discussing wildly, unable to believe it.

A investigator wearing gold‑rimmed glasses, with a serious expression, hurried in.

It was exactly the expert from the specialist team—

"Data Ghost" Xiao Liang!

"Team Qin, Professor Zhou!"

In his hand, he held the freshly organized file, his expression solemn.

"His detailed identity information and resume have all been investigated!"

With those words, everyone glanced over in unison, hope in their eyes.

Finally, are we about to uncover the secret?!

…

Qin Feng took a deep breath, took the file, and opened to the first page.

Several core members immediately gathered around, holding their breath.

The first page of the file was Su Ming's standard ID photo.

In the photo, the young man had a clean gaze, and even the corner of his mouth bore a hint of sunny smile.

"Is this… is this really the person described earlier?"

Someone couldn't help but whisper.

A demonic presence that could crush a scar‑faced foe with a single punch and slay a dozen thugs in seconds…

And the sunny smiling face before them, a typical neighborhood big‑boy image…

They're completely two different people, right?!

Qin Feng said nothing and turned to the second page.

"Personal Resume".

The resume was so clear it was almost excessive.

He grew up in Jiangcheng from childhood, excelled academically, and was a model student in teachers' eyes.

He entered Jiangzhou University in the usual order, majoring in ordinary Business Administration.

After graduation, he joined a medium‑sized company as a clerk...

No abnormal records.

No criminal history.

No violent tendencies.

"How could this be possible?!"

Lin Wan widened her eyes, staring fixedly at every word in the file.

Qin Feng's heart was likewise in turmoil.

If all the records are true.

That person—how could the change from before to after be so huge?!

Qin Feng turned the page of the file again.

This page is titled "Family Relations".

"Hm?!"

In the entire command center, countless people's pupils suddenly contracted.

【Father: Su Weiguo】

【Status: Deceased】!

【Mother: Chen Jing】

【Status: Deceased】!
