Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 281: Adjudicating Judge

Chapter 281: Adjudicating Judge

Lu Siya smiled coldly. “What? You don’t believe me? The secret police are a violent organization that specializes in dealing with superhuman criminals. Of course there are amazing people among them. It’s not strange for them to have such outstanding superhumans among them.”

“No... Of course not.” Meng Chao scratched his head and asked, “I just want to ask, where did you get that information from, Big Sis Ya?”

Lu Siya snorted coldly. “I naturally have secretive and reliable channels. Don’t worry about it, you can be sure of the accuracy of the information.”

“Can I?”

The two of them quickly walked out of the morgue. Meng Chao looked at the two guards; they were still chatting with each other and ignoring them. Meng Chao could not help but ask, “Did you buy that information with money as well?”

Lu Siya glared at him. “Can’t I?”

“Of course you can,” Meng Chao said. “Big Sis Ya, I don’t mean anything by it. I know that you have a lot of money, but no matter how much money you have, you can’t spend it randomly and buy information that appears to be true, but is actually false...”

Lu Siya ignored him and continued walking outside.

When she turned a corner, she stopped and cast him a puzzled glance. “What do you mean? Do you know that amazing person from the secret police?”

Meng Chao shook his head. “I can’t say.”

Lu Siya snorted coldly and continued walking forward.

When she had walked more than ten meters forward, she stopped again. “Wait. That means that you definitely know him. Is he a close acquaintance? A friend? Your senior brother?”

Meng Chao continued shaking his head. “I still can’t say.”

Lu Siya gritted her teeth and turned her head away. She continued walking forward with her head held high.

When she was almost at the end of the corridor, she stopped for the third time and looked Meng Chao up and down for a long time before she said hesitantly, “Wait just one more time. That outstanding and young harvester... is actually you, right?”

“I’m sorry, Big Sis Ya. I really can’t say it.” Meng Chao looked at her really sincerely.

Then, he saw Lu Siya’s face and ears turning red bit by bit, all while she remained with a cold, expressionless face.

With the sungla.s.ses that covered half of her face, she said nothing and turned around again to walk outside.

Once they left the building with the morgue, the sun welcomed them outside, and Lu Siya suddenly grabbed Meng Chao and dragged him under a shade.

Meng Chao was stunned. Then, he sensed a sharp pair of eyes about to pierce him.

He instinctively looked around and saw a man wearing a long trench coat at the entrance of the hospital. He had long sideburns and an imposing presence.

Aside from the rather sinister-looking hook nose destroying his righteous features, he actually looked very masculine and charming.

Even though they had avoided him in time, the hook nose man still noticed them.

He stared at them for a while, but did not go to them. Instead, with his hands in the pockets of the trench coat, he turned around and went into the morgue.

“Who is he? He looks rather familiar,” Meng Chao asked.

“Shen Yupeng,” Lu Siya said. “He’s Shen Yulong’s cousin. Remember Shen Yulong? He’s the leader of the Universe Corporation mine exploration team we ran into underground. As for Shen Yupeng, he’s ranked second among the third generation in the Shen family.

“He’s different from that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Shen Yulong. The family poured their resources on him, and he’s a true elite. He’s really difficult to deal with.

“He’s not working in Universe Corporation. Instead, he joined the adjudicator court and became a secret police officer. I heard that he’s also become an adjudicator.”

Meng Chao thought about it. “Secret police officers and adjudicators are different?”

“The secret police use their heads and are in charge of looking for clues. They have to unravel mysteries and figure out the truth so that they can locate the criminal. They might not have a lot of fighting power, but they have all sorts of strange supportive abilities,” Lu Siya explained. “Adjudicators are the same as heavy armed special police. They hunt violent superhuman criminals in complicated areas like downtowns with a lot of people. For that, they need a lot of fighting power.

“There are few superhumans who can take up the position of a secret police officer and an adjudicator at the same time. That’s why the adjudicators are divided into these two departments, but if someone possesses the ability to become a secret police officer and an adjudicator at the same time, then they’re really terrifying.

“In the field, there’s an unofficial t.i.tle for these people—adjudicating judges. They’re people who practically have the imperial sword that gives them arbitrary powers. They can deliver judgment on any superhuman who violated the law at any moment they want and anywhere they desire!”

Meng Chaao gasped in amazement.

“Shen Yupeng didn’t become an adjudicating judge with the Shen family’s background. He obtained it with his own power,” Lu Siya continued. “His most famous achievement is detaining a five-star Heaven Realm elite who experienced spirit energy deviation last year.

“At that time, rampaging spirit energy had invaded that Heaven Realm elite’s brain, and he went completely mad. He was hiding in a market’s underground storage room, which was located at the center of the city and had a large flow of people. The storage room also contains a lot of flammable and explosive objectives, which is against the law.

“And this Heaven Realm elite was famous for using his vitality magnetic field to stimulate the friction between molecules and increase the temperature of matter, which allowed him to create all sorts of combustions and explosions. While his mind was clear, he could even make a monster’s organs combust remotely, so it would burn to death.

“When his spirit energy deviated and he lost control, he set his wife and in-laws in flames, burning them to a crisp. You can say that he was forced into a corner and was desperate.

“Can you imagine just how dangerous it was? He was a pyromaniac who appeared in a storage room filled with flammable and explosive objects, and above him was a market. There were countless citizens shopping and eating there.”

Meng Chao was engrossed in the story. He could not help but hold his breath.

“Everyone was helpless. The firefighters were even brought in to extinguish a huge fire in the market. But Shen Yupeng went into the storage alone and managed to capture the crazed pyromaniac. He didn’t let him light up even a single newspaper on fire.”

Meng Chao could not help but ask, “The pyromaniac didn’t take action?”

“He did,” Lu Siya said. “The pyromaniac tried to light Shen Yupeng’s heart on fire, but Shen Yupeng forced that offensive magnetic field to his left pinky, and in the end, his left pinky was burnt to a crisp, but the other parts of his body remained unharmed.

“After the incident, Shen Yupeng admitted that he took the initiative to lure the pyromaniac into attacking his heart. It was only by doing so that he could ensure that the flammable and explosive objects around him remained in a stable condition, so the safety of the citizens on the surface would be a.s.sured.”

Meng Chao broke into cold sweat as he listened. He could not help but heave a long sigh of relief. “Why... haven’t I heard it on the news?”

“You haven’t heard a lot of things. After all, superhuman criminals are too sensitive. The Survival Committee doesn’t want the normal citizens to think that they are living with human-shaped bombs that are about to explode at any moment. So, they usually do not reveal the details of such cases to the public. Even if it shows up in the news, it is only mentioned briefly,” Lu Siya said.

“In truth, the more superhumans train, the stronger spirit energy they contain. The organs in their bodies, including their minds, change, and it makes it easier for them to get lost, to change, and to become corrupted. There might be monsters in the wild, but there are also monsters in the depths of the human heart. We have to fight against two types of monsters, and both types of fights are equally fierce and devastating. But the second fight is even more dangerous and tragic.

“But I digress. It looks like the secret police has sent Shen Yupeng to handle the case of the pets killing their masters in Blessed Paradise. This guy is very smart and capable. If we want to be ahead of him, we have to speed up. Let’s go!”

Lu Siya walked into the elevator heading to the underground parking lot.

“Where are we going next?

“We’re eating.” Lu Siya sat down in her race car and snapped her fingers. She released a spirit energy electrical arc and activated the crystal engine.

While she was driving, she brought out a thick stack of files so that Meng Chao could read it.

Meng Chao took the files and read, and he found that the stack contained an investigative report which had been done regarding the case of the pets killing humans.

There were also high definition pictures of the crime scene, statements from witnesses, brief introductions to Spirit Creations Creatures and Heavenly Works Machines, the construction case for Subway No.20, which they were competing for, the background report on the third victim, who was an employee of Heavenly Works Machines, and other information.

Meng Chao gave it a brief glance and noticed that the case happened between ten and twelve at night two days ago. The three biochemical pets who got out of control lived with their owners in three different apartments in Blessed Paradise, and there was less than one hour between the time each of them lost control. Once they killed their owners and ate them, they rushed out of their houses, and the neighbors, who heard the noise and rushed over, worked together to kill them.

Based on the witness testimonies, there was nothing different between the three biochemical pets.

At that time, all of them had bloodshot eyes, foamed at their mouths, and twitched neurotically. These were typical symptoms of dogs infected by mutated rabies.

The background investigations of the first two victims were rather simple. He could not tell whether they had any relations with Spirit Creations Creatures or Heavenly Works Machines.

The third victim was from Heavenly Works Machines, and hence, his background check was performed in greater detail.

He was a machine master by the name of Jin Yongqiang. Twenty years ago, he graduated from the short machine a.s.sociate degree course in the University of Technology.

At that time, Dragon City was prepared to enter the Great Construction Era. It was in dire need of talented people who could operate construction machines. Hence, it opened up a lot of training cla.s.ses and crash course schools. The value of the certs was pretty high as well.

After graduation, Jin Yongqiang entered Heavenly Works Machines, and with his experience of working for years at the frontline and the resources provided by his company, he rose to the peak of Earth Realm and became a licensed machine master. It helped him become a middle-level manager in the company.

However, he did not have a firm foundation and was not very talented, so when he became middle-aged, his progress stopped. It had been a long time since he awakened any skills, and he was not a pillar of strength in his company. He was just a gear that could operate stably because he had been working hard for years.

His colleagues in the company and the neighbors in Blessed Paradise did not have a good impression of Jin Yongqiang.

It was mainly because he was addicted to gambling and lost a lot of money over the past two years. He had even p.a.w.ned off his private apartment in Blessed Paradise.

His private life was also a mess. After his wife died in a monster invasion, he began flirting with women. Recently, he had cohabited with a woman who was younger than him by twenty years, and he spent a lot of money on her.

The investigation report also mentioned that Jin Yongqiang faced a lot of financial pressure.

But this did not seem to have a huge relation to how he was killed by his biochemical pet...
