Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Personal Justice_1

A moment later.

"Master, as long as I go through this door, I can transport things to other places."

Elmon, who had previously vanished without a trace, reappeared, along with his body, Mr. Killer’s prosthetic eye and mobile phone.

"What a convenient ability."

Song Lan expressed his admiration.

The reason Phine was able to silently sneak into the Law Enforcement Manor and then disappear without a trace in front of the attacked guard was probably due to Elmon’s ability.

With such power, couldn’t one get up half an hour later every day, saving the time spent commuting by bike?

No wonder Phine was so desperate to find Elmon, even stirring the entire District 17 into chaos.

If the worst-case scenario happened, Elmon could move the evidence from the safe before the Law Enforcers broke into his bedroom. Moreover, he could imperceptibly deliver some issues he wanted to convey, bypassing the delivery process and directly delivering them to the other party’s office or home.

It thus seemed that the United Government’s categorisation of Spirit Ability Users had its reasons.

Destruction type users carried out the killing while Support type users destroyed evidence, creating an undeniably perfect combination.

"Considering your sincerity, I will allow you to stay here temporarily, but there are three rules: you must not let others notice your existence."

"Understood, Master!"

An enthusiastic Elmon asked, "So when will the first round of training begin?"

"Your training has already begun."

Song Lan earnestly said, "As the saying goes, ’The master leads in, personal cultivation matters.’ I’ve already brought you in from the doorstep, now it’s up to you."

........................

Meanwhile, at the operations command center.

At this moment, all the elites of the Law Enfocers’ department were gathered in this room.

Phine Arnhem’s body had been brought back. The autopsy report confirmed that the fatal wound was a penetrating injury to the chest, the end result and circumstances of which matched Chai Ke’s - both were killed instantly. The scene showed a squashed lamp post, considering that the deceased was a felon with a bounty of 1.73 million watts, it was impossible to assume that there had been a fierce fight.

The most likely scenario was that Phine’s ability didn’t work, and she was swiftly killed by the adversary.

"I think we must investigate the identity of the murderer,"

The speaker was Doug, the head of the Special Operations Group, who was looking grave, showing no joy over Phine’s death.

A powerful felon was indeed dead; however, her death brought a greater threat. Instead, it revealed that in District 17, there was a person who can kill Phine instantaneously, and even worse, they didn’t know who this person was, didn’t understand his abilities, and didn’t know if his mental state was stable.

Bear in mind, the deeper the development of spiritual power, the more unstable the mental state.

"I don’t think so."

The Crime Analysis Department’s chief offered a different opinion, "Based on the information we currently have, we can deduce that his objective is the same as ours. He previously reported Lainal Boyev’s hideout to us. Importantly, he didn’t kill Lainal but handed them over to the Law Enforcers."

"Indeed, this suggests that he is at least not a bloodthirsty person. He has left survivors in both the Chai Ke case and Lainal incident."

Lu Xiang chimed in, "As a result, I inferred he is a person who has absolute confidence in his own abilities, and very likely, he considers killing to cover up secrets as an insult in his subconscious."

As a matter of fact, in all the districts under the jurisdiction of the United Government, such cases had occurred quite often. As early as 2145, the United Government’s highest crime investigation agency gave these crimes a collective name: "Personal Justice."

That is, disregarding the United Government’s laws and judging criminals based on one’s own cognition.

These people are usually dissatisfied with the law and embark on this path due to their pursuit of justice.

"One of their characteristics is that their confidence often develops into extreme arrogance. They consider themselves as the ’justice,’ and therefore, seldom involve innocent civilians. If they do, they will try to convince themselves using various reasons."

"In this case, I guess he is likely an inconspicuous person in his daily life, because neither Chai Ke nor Phine saw death coming."

The fatal blow was delivered from behind, penetrating through the chest, taking their lives in an instant. Therefore, their expressions were preserved at the moment of their death.

There was no terror or anger, meaning that their brain didn’t even have a chance to understand the opponent’s abilities.

It was as if they were killed by a totally unrelated person.

"Director, this is exactly what I’m most worried about."

Doug spoke again, "I might not have much theoretical knowledge, but as a long-time Law Enforcer, there’s one thing I know clearly — the human psychological tolerance has a limit. Young people who have worked in our department for a while usually display various degrees of psychological problems."

The Special Operations Group is always at the forefront of action, dealing with brutal criminals and attending horrific crime scenes that could give countless people nightmares. Therefore, the psychological well-being of the team members was always one of his main concerns.

"I arrange group activities regularly and provide psychological counselling to anyone who exhibits extreme emotions. Even so, there are still people every month who can’t endure the workload of the Special Operations Group and are transferred to other departments, or even quit their job as a Law Enforcer."

Turning his point, Doug said, "But, who will provide psychological counselling to that person?"

At these words, the entire operations command center fell silent.

The path of ’Personal Justice’ is much lonelier than theirs.

Fighting alone, unable to reveal the negative emotions accumulated over time to others.

Over a long period, these negative emotions would inevitably give birth to new darkness.

"Especially when we are discussing a person who can take down Phine Arnhem in a single strike, once his emotions go out of control..."

Doug paused for a while before continuing, "I’m not suggesting that we should bring him back to the Law Enforcement department and keep a close eye on him. The reason why we need to confirm his identity is so that we can constantly monitor his psychological state to prevent the worst-case scenario from happening."
