BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

Chapter 813 Police Station (1)

As the officers led Erik and June into the secluded park, the facade of official duty crumbled, revealing their true intentions.

The once stern and professional demeanor of the officers shifted, their expressions turning malicious.

"You know," the lead officer said, his tone laced with mockery, "it's rather peculiar that someone who supposedly passed through the entrance gate knows nothing about the permit system in place."

Another officer, with a smirk curling on his lips, chimed in, "Yes, and all those questions. Makes one think you're hiding something, doesn't it?"

The group halted, turning to face Erik and June directly.

Erik met their gaze, his previous act of compliance replaced by a steely resolve. "What exactly are you insinuating?"

The officers, with a shared understanding, exchanged glances that were filled with sneers, which only grew wider.

"Let's just say," the first officer continued, "that we have a knack for sniffing out lies. And you, my friends, reek of deception."

June, standing slightly behind Erik, tensed, ready to react at a moment's notice.

Despite their expectations of a confrontation, the officers' overt hostility showed that the situation was becoming more serious.

Erik sighed inwardly. He hoped to gather information quietly, without drawing attention.

Yet, here they were, standing before members of the Crystal Cross Gang masquerading as city officers, about to be unmasked themselves.

"Perhaps we should have a more... private conversation about your real purpose here in New Alexandria," another officer said, his hand resting on the hilt of his weapon.

It was then Erik's turn to grin. "Yeah. Let's do that." In a second, he decapitated all but one officer.

[HUMANS KILLED: MANA ABSORBING PROCESS STARTING.]

[0%...1%....5%...30%...70%...100%]

[MANA SUCCESSFULLY ABSORBED, STARTING CONVERTING PROCEDURE.]

[3...2...1...0]

[MANA SUCCESSFULLY CONVERTED INTO EXPERIENCE. 4000 EXPERIENCE POINTS AWARDED TO THE HOST.]

The surviving officer's face was a mask of fear and disbelief.

The man who had moments ago carried an air of authority and menace was now visibly shaken, his confidence shattered by the demonstration of Erik's prowess.

Erik's voice was calm, yet there was an unmistakable edge to it as he addressed the officer, "Let's have that… private conversation, shall we?"

Recognizing the seriousness of his error, the officer could only nod in agreement. He had, without a doubt, underestimated the person he was dealing with.

The man was rendered almost speechless by the shock of seeing his comrades fall with such ease.

His earlier bravado evaporated, leaving behind a palpable sense of fear.

He realized now that Erik and June were not mere travelers caught unawares.

Erik motioned for the officer to lead the way, his demeanor suggesting patience but his eyes conveying a stern warning against any thoughts of escape or deceit.

June remained alert, his senses tuned to their surroundings, ready to intervene should the need arise.

As they moved to a more secluded area of the park, the officer spoke, his voice unsteady.

…

…

…

Unfortunately, the officer knew little. The man was undoubtedly a member of the Crystal Cross Gang, but he had never visited their headquarters.

He was just a small fish until he became part of the police department, and his situation didn't really improve that much.

However, he had to know someone having more information than him.

Erik made the question, and the man gave him a name: Zachary Cammish.

<Where have I heard this name? >

Was what Erik and June thought as the man revealed his name. Then Erik killed him.

"Do you remember a guy called Zachary?" Erik asked to his clone.

"I remember something, but I can't tell where and what it was about. However, it was linked to the Crystal Cross Gang, of that I'm sure."

"Yeah," Erik said. "I had the same thought." He paused for a second. "The guy said to go search for him at the police station nearby. Maybe this guy will have more information."

June looked below. The Officers' uniforms were stained with blood, so they couldn't use them. "That's a shame."

"Yeah, taking their identity would have been easy. I guess we will have to stick to the old animal shapeshifting."

"It worked well until now, no?" June said.

"Yes."

The impracticality of using the officers' uniforms, marred by the violence, was a minor setback.

Their usual method of animal shapeshifting had served them well so far, offering them the stealth and agility needed to navigate every place undetected.

Eager to create some space between themselves and the site of the confrontation, they swiftly left.

The city, with its streets devoid of any signs of life and an unsettling silence that hung in the air, gave the impression that it had been ravaged by an apocalypse.

Their approach to the police station would need to be cautious.

With the gang's influence pervading the city's law enforcement, every step closer to Zachary was a step deeper into enemy territory.

After traversing the silent streets of New Alexandria, Erik and June arrived at the police station.

Despite the desolation that surrounded the city, the station stood tall, a shining example of activity, though it carried the visible reminders of the chaos that had unfolded.

Sections of its walls had caved in, and windows lay shattered, evidence of the turmoil that had swept through the city.

Yet, the ruin did not deter the hustle and bustle within; officers, or Crystal Cross Gang Members, moved about, their steps echoing in the damaged corridors.

Erik and June, remaining unseen, observed the scene.

It didn't take long for them to notice a common detail among the individuals bustling in and out of the station: cufflinks bearing the insignia of the Crystal Cross Gang.

This small piece of jewelry confirmed their suspicions about the gang's deep infiltration into the city's law enforcement.

The presence of the gang's symbol on every officer clarified they had indeed found a place where they could gather information. The what was the real problem.

Yet, it was in this place, the lion's den, that they would discover the answers they were looking for, beginning with who was Zachary.

The only thing they had to do was to search for this guy.
