Chapter 143: Practice (2)

Ryu Min used one of the common skills, [Area Search].

It displayed the surroundings within a 500m radius like a mini-map.

A map window appeared in front of Ryu Mins eyes, visible to others as well.

Many red dots, seemingly representing life forms, were visible on the map.

And among them, one was uniquely moving.

Look. You can see someone running through the alleys on the map, cant you?

Yes, really!

As Ryu Min said, there was one dot selectively

moving through the alleys, seemingly avoiding peoples eyes.

This individual is likely the criminal.

Ah!

Lets catch them before they get away.

Yes, understood!

The members followed Ryu Min into the alley, but the distance quickly widened until Ryu Mins figure disappeared from sight.

What, what? How can he be this fast?

It was like comparing a car to a bicycle.

Despite running at full speed, they couldnt catch up to Ryu Mins pace.

Naturally.

Ryu Min wasnt wearing any items during the duel, but now he was fully equipped.

With a significant increase in agility stats, his speed was incomparable to before.

Unable to keep up with the squad leader, the members were amazed.

We cant catch up at all.

The more I see, the more impressive he is.

Since they lost sight of him, they had no choice but to rely on the area search skill.

Members with the skill followed the map, chasing Black Scythe.

Soon, the members saw Black Scythe and the suspect in a standoff in the alley.

But the suspect had a persons neck in his grip.

Dont come any closer! Damn it!

Please, save me. Please.

A woman in her mid-30s, presumably taken hostage by the suspect, was in his grasp. The player was endangering the life of another civilian.

That crazy bastard

It seemed he had taken the woman hostage after running into her in the alley.

Seeing the man holding a dagger to the womans neck, the members were certain.

This was the bastard who killed the store owner and fled.

What are you guys! Why are you following me! Come any closer, and Ill slit this b*tchs throat!

The members hesitated.

A wrong move could lead to a hole in the womans neck.

Hey, listen, sir. Calm down and

Sir, my ass! Do I look like a sir to you? Huh!?

The criminal, spitting with excitement, seemed to be in a bad mental state.

Whats with that guy wearing a mask? Why is he looking at me without saying anything? Are you their friend? No, I dont care! Put down your weapons, all of you!

Please, save me

Hey, you, b*tch, shut up! Keep nagging, and Ill stab you right now

That was the moment.

Thwack-!

The mans head blasted like a rocket.

Ryu Mins scythe, extended like a whip, precisely cut the criminals head.

Quickly, with no time to react.

Thump-

Save me Aaaah!

The woman, terrified at the sight of the corpse, crawled away in horror.

Ching-

Ryu Min retrieved his scythe, showing no mercy in killing the criminal.

His coldness left the members speechless.

Are you okay?

Yes Yes

Dont worry. Youre safe now.

After comforting the trembling woman, Ryu Min turned to the members.

Whats wrong?

W-We didnt expect you to kill the criminal without attempting to arrest

According to the player crime law, there are two cases where immediate execution of a criminal player is allowed. One is for criminals who have committed serious crimes like murder, robbery, and rape. The other is when they pose an imminent threat to civilians. He qualified for both. Killing the store owner is circumstantial, but matching the CCTV footage with his clothes would prove it. Even if not, he was already a target for immediate execution the moment he threatened a civilian.

On the scene, quick judgment is crucial. The speed at which you apprehend criminals can prevent further victims. Its the same now. Had I not intervened, there could have been a second victim, right?

The members couldnt argue.

If Ryu Min hadnt pursued, the woman might have died simply for crossing paths in the alley.

It was too dangerous to capture him alive. Immediate execution was necessary. Thats why we compare players to time bombs. If you cant shield everyone from a time bomb, its wise to remove the fuse early.

While it wasnt a fuse but the brain that was blown away, the members didnt see the action as too harsh.

Having already witnessed a brutal murder scene, they couldnt sympathize with the criminal.

Well, they were members who fluttered at the thought of criminals anyway.

Squad leader, what about the body? Should we erase the traces?

No. We cant destroy evidence. The regular police have been notified and are on their way here. We dealt with the threatening player and only need to report the situation. Leave the rest to the regular police.

Ah, got it.

Now youve seen an example, you roughly know what to do, right? Quick judgment, criminal search, and rescuing people are key. Got it?

Yes! We understand!

Seeing the members newfound determination, Ryu Min smiled warmly from behind his mask.
