As soon as he received the order to gather, Lin Yao quickly asked the policewoman to tell his parents that he had been enlisted.

“I don’t want my parents to worry. Sorry for the trouble.”

“Don’t worry, we will take care of it.”

This way, Lin Yao, who was non-staff personnel, rushed to the meeting place without even returning home. Upon arriving, he realized that unlike what he had imagined, which was that there would be small groups of people patrolling this place, there were instead a few ordinary vehicles and a command car. The policewoman was waiting for him next to the command car.

Lin Yao was very surprised when he saw the vehicle.

“Are we patrolling by car?”

This made the policewoman laugh.

“Did you think that we would be patrolling like in ancient times? Lin Yao, times have changed.”

The policewoman messed with Lin Yao before she went on to explain.

“There will also be patrol teams on the street, but they’ll merely complement the real surveillance system. The Sky Eye surveillance system is the real system that monitors the cities in China.”

After speaking, the policewoman pulled Lin Yao into the car. Then, Lin Yao realized that there was something special in the car.

There were several screens in the spacious command vehicle, and intelligence agents used special communicators to stay in touch with other people.

“Monitor No.13523 shows no abnormalities.”

“Monitor No.16241 shows no abnormalities.”

“Monitor No.14321 has detected an abnormality. The nearest teams are 71, 72, and 73. You need to check it out. Please contact us if you can hear this message.”

“Roger.”

“Roger.”

Lin Yao was stunned upon seeing the intelligence agents continuously issuing various instructions in the command vehicle. Meanwhile, the policewoman checked and covered everything they had missed.

In particular, Lin Yao felt a little dizzy when he saw the footage taken by the cameras shown on the screens in the car.

“Is most of Ninghai City really being monitored?”

Upon seeing the incredulous look on Lin Yao’s face, the policewoman smiled and said, “Of course. Not only Ninghai, but most of the streets in the country are monitored by cameras. This is the Skynet, which expands throughout the country. In addition to the cameras, there is satellite monitoring in outer space. It is thanks to this monitoring network that we humans can contain the freaks and maintain a seemingly peaceful world.” At this point, the policewoman thought of something and quickly said, “Apart from searching for freaks, the Sky Eye surveillance system is also responsible for monitoring criminals. Remember, if you don’t want to end up a wanted criminal, you should never kill in the city. Leave everything to the police.”

“Got it.”

While the two of them were talking, a patrol team found the dead body of a stray cat. When they heard this, the car that the policewoman was in immediately rushed to the location.

At the same time, the policewoman continued to explain.

“Nationwide monitoring aside, that’s not something we should be concerned about. Let’s talk about our mission.

“The entire Ninghai City is monitored by the Sky Eye surveillance system. The collected data is sent to the command and monitoring center, where the personnel pays attention to any abnormalities. Once there is an abnormality, they will send the nearby teams to investigate… Those teams are only responsible for investigating. If everything is fine, they will file a report. If something happens, the secondary command centers will spring into action. That will be us.”

“Secondary command centers?”

“Well, 20 or 30 elites basically gather to form an elite team. Each elite team is responsible for an area. Can you see this map? We are responsible for this green area. The people patrolling this area will report any incidents to us.”

While they were talking, the vehicle was moving fast, and they soon arrived near a trash can.

There was a corpse of a tortured cat next to the trash can. A total of nine people from three patrol teams were nervously standing away from the dead cat while taking out their weapons.

They might seem to be making a big deal out of dealing with a dead cat, but Lin Yao did not look down upon them, as he knew how horrifying freaks were.

Upon arriving at the scene, the policewoman first ordered a car to use a high-power ultraviolet searchlight. She was relieved when the searchlight shone on the dead cat’s body and they did not discover any abnormalities.

Then, the command center relied on past monitoring to find out the time the dead cat had been abandoned and found the identity of the person who had abandoned it, as well as their address.

After learning of this, the policewoman immediately went with Lin Yao and the others to an ordinary apartment.

“The suspect is in Room 103 on the third floor. Be careful. Team One, approach from the rear. Snipers…”

While the policewoman was giving orders, Lin Yao calmed down to sense the situation in Room 103. He then shook his head.

“What’s wrong?”

The policewoman, who had been watching Lin Yao, noticed his actions. In reply, Lin Yao said, “I perceive malice, but this is not a freak.”

“Can you tell the difference between a freak and a human villain?”

“In a way. No matter how bad human villains are, I can perceive some goodness in them. As for freaks, although there are various emotions inside them, all of them are negative emotions, such as hatred and resentment. There isn’t any trace of goodness in them.”

Humans were complicated, as there was both evil and goodness within them.

As for the freaks, they were pollution sources. One felt disgusted upon sensing them.

While the two of them were having a conversation, someone broke into the room with a gun and the policewoman got out of the car, getting ready to help at any time.

However, just like Lin Yao had said, there was only an ordinary person in the room. He was shocked when he saw someone break the door. He abandoned any thought of resisting right away when he saw that an armed government employee had rushed inside.

“Don’t fire, don’t fire. I didn’t commit any crimes.”

“Stand up straight. We have a few questions for you.”

He readily answered all the questions asked by the personnel.

After a while, the policewoman calmed down and shook her head helplessly. “Case closed. Let’s return.”

Seeing that Lin Yao was staring at her, she gave him some details. “It’s purely a case of cat abuse. He is not a freak.”

“Will there be any punishment? Also, do we have to investigate animal deaths as well?”

“This person tortured and killed a stray cat. This is mainly about warning and educating people, so punishment is inapplicable in this case. We don’t have to investigate all dead monsters. We only take note and investigate cases of tortured death, dismembered bodies, and missing body parts.”

While they were speaking, the command center issued instructions again. This time, it was a missing case. When they heard this, the car immediately rushed to the scene of the accident.

Unfortunately, upon arriving, they made use of the surveillance cameras and the detection skills of veteran detectives and discovered that the crime had been committed by ordinary human beings. There was no freak around.

In the next few hours, Lin Yao and the team made many similar trips.

It was still early at night, but they had not encountered any freaks. Lin Yao was no longer as enthusiastic about patrolling, but the policewoman was accustomed to it.

“Although the freaks can come running out, the probability of such an occurrence is low. It is impossible to encounter several freaks in a single night. We are not incompetent. Besides, if something like that really happened often, this world would have been a mess.”

Lin Yao, who was educated by the policewoman, could only raise his hand to beg for mercy. While the two of them were talking, a red light suddenly flashed in the command vehicle and a warning was heard.

“Beep, beep, beep. Team 157 has lost contact. I repeat, Team 157 has lost contact.”

“Find the location where they were last seen.”

While the police lights were flashing, the policewoman’s expression turned from casual to serious. Lin Yao had a bad premonition upon hearing that they had lost contact.

“The nearest location is Yuhua Road No. XXX. They just lost contact.”

“Let’s go.”

Upon hearing the location, the driver immediately stepped on the accelerator and sped down the empty city streets.

In less than three minutes, Lin Yao and the others arrived at their destination. Yuhua Road was a small alley, and No. XXX was in the innermost area. The alley was small, and the command car could not drive through. The policewoman and the others could only get out quickly to walk down the alley.

This was a somewhat crooked trail. Everyone walked in a hurry, as they were worried about the missing team members.

However, when they turned a corner and the location where the team had gone missing was right in front of their eyes, a shout suddenly echoed in the crowd.

“Stop!”

It was Lin Yao who had stopped everyone. He stared at the alley in front of him, his face turning ice-cold.

“What’s wrong?”

This concerned the safety of her subordinates, so the policewoman asked him very anxiously. Lin Yao did not mind her attitude. Instead, he just tried his best to sense the alley in front of him. Soon, Lin Yao’s expression changed drastically and he shouted, “Retreat right now!”
