Chapter 479: Death Game

Chapter 479: Death Game (Update 2)

The roar of a helicopter filled the air.

It jolted a sleeping young couple from their slumber.

“Sis, if I had a rocket in my hand, I’d knock it right down!”

“Haha… the way you brag is just too cool!”

“May they be cursed to sleepless nights—may the Night Goddess smite them!”

“Get to work, your Honor, Police King!”

Xiao Yu stormed to the bed, fuming as he threw on his pajamas.

He glanced briefly at his sister, snugly wrapped in her blanket.

Then he strode to the floor-to-ceiling window, flung it open, and roared at the world.

“Do you all have no regard for life? Always stirring up trouble in the dead of night!”

Helicopter pilot: …

Two National Security Special Ops: …

Wang Dong: …

Little Brother sure was in a foul mood.

Had he been interrupting something good?

It was like a little fable.

Boy Xiao Qian and girl Xiao Bei had fallen in love.

On a stormy, rain-lashed night.

They turned into sweet little angels…

“Quit dawdling, big guy.”

Wang Dong called out to Xiao Yu, “Hurry up!”

Damn… Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, returned to the bed, leaned over, hugged Mu Qingwu, and planted a passionate kiss on her.

“Time to work—457 style.”

“Come back soon.”

“Got it…”

Releasing Mu Qingwu gently, Xiao Yu straightened up and softly reminded, “Remember to close the window!”

In a heartbeat, he was off and moving.

His silhouette appeared at the window’s edge.

Bang!

A subtle sound below as Xiao Yu leapt into action.

From the second floor of the Villa, he vaulted into midair and landed inside the helicopter.

The helicopter surged upward, flying off into the distance…

……

Inside the armed helicopter.

Xiao Yu accepted a set of everyday clothes from a Special Ops officer and quickly changed.

He glanced at the National Security uniform draped over him.

A man looking sharp only needed an all-black suit and a tie.

Unfortunately, the National Security attire was too rugged—once worn, it made him look more like a dark apostle than a charming puppy.

Xiao Yu mused that in another life, he might have pulled off this look perfectly.

But even his current striking looks just didn’t have that vibe.

Casting a sidelong glance at an awkward-looking Wang Dong, Xiao Yu sneered, “I already told you, I’m on leave. Don’t bother me—me and my sis are planning for a second baby, capisce?”

It was as blunt as saying: no hassle for a five-dollar favor!

“I don’t want trouble either, but things are a bit complicated.”

Wang Dong shifted uncomfortably, “I just happened to be near your place, and figured since you had nothing better to do… uh!”

Xiao Yu flicked his middle finger and retorted, “What do you mean ‘near your place’? What’s with ‘nothing better to do’? Having a child isn’t trivial! My mom warned that if anyone dares hold up her grandchild plans, she’ll drown them in Feminine Hygiene Liquid!”

Wang Dong: …

Is it really meant to be that harsh?

Little Brother’s temper flared—when faced with conflict, one mustn’t act rashly, but smooth things over.

“Six hours ago, M City 110 received a call. The reporter claimed that after a night of drinking, he found a naked woman in the roadside greenery… He woke her up, and she let out a hoarse, desperate scream, even trying to kill him. The police arrived just in time to subdue her…”

Wang Dong’s expression grew grim, “Then, the woman was taken to the Hospital. After some soothing, she revealed something chilling… Nine people lost their lives. They were eaten!”

Xiao Yu’s face shifted, a flicker of shock crossing his features.

Nine people… were eaten?

“And that’s not all.”

Wang Dong continued solemnly, “When local police found the woman, they discovered that she… had also been devoured in several places!”

Xiao Yu: ???

What do you mean she was also… partially eaten?

Wang Dong pulled out his phone, flipped to a photo, and handed it to Little Brother.

The moment Xiao Yu saw it, he gasped, his mind going blank.

The photo showed a woman…

No—call her a monster if you will.

Her face and body were covered in scars.

Scars left behind where flesh and blood were lost.

Especially in areas that once had plenty of flesh.

Both arms and legs… at least a third of her flesh was gone.

From those wounds, it was clear they had been bitten or gnawed by some creature.

They bore numerous bite marks… marks from human teeth!

The sheer horror of her disfigured body made her comparable to a monster…

Regaining his composure, Xiao Yu looked at Wang Dong, “So, nine people… were they all eaten?”

“That’s what she said.”

Wang Dong nodded, “After the local police reported it, the case was escalated directly to the Provincial Department, then forwarded to Team Two!”

“This case is downright perverse!” Xiao Yu smirked.

Nine lives, and cannibalism is suspected… the case was enormous!

……

Over five hours later.

The helicopter touched down in M City.

Xiao Yu and Wang Dong hopped into a police car and headed straight for the M City Bureau.

Upon arrival, they met with the top officials—no small talk wasted.

In the meeting room.

The projector displayed a series of photos.

Every photo showed a female victim.

They were identical to those Xiao Yu had seen in the helicopter.

The victims bore terrifying, gruesome wounds all over their bodies.

Wounds from flesh torn apart and left to heal in a gory mess.

“Victim: Shi Yanwan, Female, 24, from M City… Reported missing by her family two months ago. Our city had been searching for her without success.”

“When we found her, we rushed her to the Hospital. A physical exam revealed she’d been injected with LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide).”

“This drug can induce hallucinations, severe intoxication, and a loss of reason, all culminating in aggressive behavior…”

“According to Shi Yanwan, two months ago she was drugged, kidnapped, and held captive in a vast underground chamber.”

“Along with her, nine young men and women were detained.”

“They had no idea who had captured them or why.”

“Yet every day, someone was taken from that cell—to be abused, beaten, raped, and even… forced to cannibalize one another.”

“Some even had their flesh turned into food for their captors…”

“According to Shi Yanwan, it was a game—a game where only one person could survive!”

At that moment, Xiao Yu and Wang Dong exchanged cold, steely glances.

Death Game?

They could feel the criminals’ profound contempt.
