Bai Ye's first thought was that he had been ambushed!
But on second thought, something felt wrong. If someone wanted to ambush him, wouldn't it be better to wait until he entered the church? If they attacked as soon as he opened the door, he could simply jump back and dodge. However, after entering the church, there weren't many places to take cover, only some long benches, and their backs were hollowed out, offering no real protection.
While thinking, Bai Ye crouched and crawled back to the church entrance, then looked inside.
Well, it turned out a fight had already broken out.
Bai Ye observed the two sides fighting, unable to distinguish whether they were summoned ones, local gangsters, or villains trying to get involved.
However, Jin Sha and Alex were nowhere to be seen, and the Scyther that had been on the rooftop was also gone.
Bai Ye asked Rattata, "Do you know where Jin Sha is?"
Rattata twitched its nose and sniffed. It tracked by scent, then shook its head and made a paw-waving motion.
Bai Ye pondered, "I don't smell Jin Sha, but I do smell Scyther?"
Rattata nodded.
Bai Ye couldn't help but stroke his chin, thinking about the situation.
That Scyther must have been used by Jin Sha to track the target. Since it could fly, aerial surveillance made it difficult to escape.
Therefore, the presence of Scyther here meant Alex was definitely here, or had been here recently, and had likely been taken somewhere else by now.
What about Jin Sha? Had she not arrived yet? She was too slow!
As Bai Ye was thinking, the wailing siren of police cars suddenly broke his train of thought.
Bai Ye snapped back to attention and looked ahead, seeing more than a dozen police cars speeding toward them, quickly approaching the church entrance.
Two police officers got out of their cars and happened to make eye contact with Bai Ye, then…
Without any hesitation, the two officers quickly drew their guns from their waists and fired at Bai Ye.
It was clear that the two officers had immediately identified Bai Ye as a bad guy.
As for why…
Bai Ye was carrying an AK-47!
What kind of good person carries something like that?
"Damn it!"
Bai Ye cursed, and quickly bent down to get inside the church.
Even though there was fighting inside the church, it was still better than being caught in the middle. And besides…
"I'm just passing through, I'm just passing through, I'm just passing through…"
Bai Ye muttered to himself, praying that the people around would fight amongst themselves. He just wanted to cross the church and leave.
But at this moment…
A gust of wind suddenly appeared beside Bai Ye. A man, holding a kukri, swung it down towards Bai Ye's head.
Bai Ye sighed. He knew this would happen. The fighting inside the church was so fierce that anyone not on your side was attacked.
However, from the perspective of the two sides in the church, anyone not on your side was the enemy…
So how should Bai Ye count himself?
He was in the unfortunate faction, so both sides would attack him!
While thinking, Bai Ye grabbed the man's arm, twisted his waist sharply, and performed an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the man down hard.
With a crash!
A bench to the side was smashed to pieces.
"Huh?"
Bai Ye smacked his lips and looked at the man on the ground. He had been killed by a single over-the-shoulder throw.
This seemed…
A bit weak?
Bai Ye felt that the opponent was likely not a summoned one. With this kind of physical strength, he wasn't even as strong as Jin Sha. Jin Sha, as a beast tamer, couldn't possibly be so weak as to be killed by Bai Ye's throw. Therefore, the man in front of him was at the level of an ordinary person.
"This isn't scientific!"
Bai Ye scratched his head. A group of ordinary people couldn't possibly have taken Alex from Jin Sha, could they?
But at this moment…
Before Bai Ye could think further, the stained-glass windows around them suddenly shattered, and smoke grenades were thrown into the church, followed by a large cloud of smoke spreading.
The police had begun their assault!
The fighting around them briefly stopped, then devolved into chaos as people scattered in all directions.
Bai Ye put on his Predator mask and strode forward.
"Get out of the way!"
Bai Ye grabbed a man who was running into him by the collar and casually tossed him aside, then continued forward, kicking another person away.
He vaulted over a bench back and quickly crossed the church hall, then entered a corridor through a side door.
The smell of blood!
Bai Ye looked at the corridor in surprise. A battle had taken place here too, and many people had died. Blood covered the ground, and about a dozen corpses were piled up.
Bai Ye stepped over the bodies and walked forward. Suddenly, he discovered something and squatted down.
The wrist of one of the corpses had been brutally crushed. The body had multiple wounds, but they didn't look like they were made by a sharp blade. The edges of the wounds were wide and very rough, more like injuries inflicted by bare hands.
This must have been done by a summoned one, right?
The gangsters in the city could at most fire a few shots with their guns; they couldn't do something like this.
Of course, it was also possible that some solitary villains in the city had also participated.
As Bai Ye was thinking, a sound suddenly came from behind him.
Bai Ye dodged his head and quickly leaped to the side.
With a clang!
A large door, removed from somewhere, slammed onto the ground.
It was a man wearing camouflage pants and a bare chest, with well-defined muscles, not bulky, but extremely symmetrical.
Bai Ye couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Large, bulky muscles looked impressive but were actually not suitable for combat because of poor flexibility. Excessive muscle could also distort movements. The physique of the man in front of him was the perfect physique for actual combat.
While thinking, Bai Ye stood up and stepped back, saying, "Scan!"
Biological scan initiated…
Biological scan completed…
Lek Rodriguez (Summoned One) (Injured): A summoned one from the modern civilized world.
Strength: 71
Speed: ??
Stamina: ??
Spirit: 55
Intelligence: 19
Weakness Search: Right rear rib cage injured, left thigh side injured, left shoulder deltoid injured.
Held Items: Scan failed.
Bai Ye looked at the data displayed on his mask. He was indeed a summoned one.
At the same time…
Lek, having missed his attack, immediately pressed his advantage, lunging at Bai Ye and throwing a straight punch towards Bai Ye's face.
But at the critical moment of impact…
Bai Ye suddenly raised his arm!
Bang!
A muffled thud of flesh colliding!
Facing Lek's punch, Bai Ye took it head-on.
Lek kept exerting force, trying to push Bai Ye away with sheer strength. However, half a second later, a look of surprise appeared on Lek's face.
He…
Couldn't push Bai Ye away!
