Chapter 59: Chapter 57: Is the Departed One Alright?
"Ugh ugh ugh...!!"
The human trafficker’s pitiful scream exploded.
He was even electrocuted to the point of trembling, his voice full of extreme pain!
It made the listeners’ skin crawl!
In an instant.
Wisps of blue smoke emerged between Lin Beichen’s palm and the human trafficker’s head.
At the same time.
The human trafficker’s head began to shake wildly, his hair curled and dried as if it had been overheated, his skin turned a gray-black shade. Just after partially getting up, his body crashed down again, convulsing even more violently, eyes rolling backwards, mouth trembling uncontrollably, and white foam frothing from the corners.
After a few intense spasms, his whole body went limp, as if all bones had disappeared, collapsing onto the ground motionless.
"This..."
Witnessing this scene, Lin Beichen felt a jolt of unease.
To prevent being counterattacked by the human trafficker, Lin Beichen had not held back in his strike; he was mentally prepared to severely injure or cripple the trafficker with electricity. And with that kind of power applied to his head...
Is the deceased alright?
After waiting for a good while without seeing any movement from the trafficker, not even chest fluctuations, Lin Beichen cautiously extended his hand, testing for a heartbeat and breath.
Nothing at all.
Dead beyond dead.
"Did I kill him?"
Although he had somewhat anticipated this outcome, and was mentally prepared, confirming it brought a sense of bewilderment to Lin Beichen.
He had initially comprehended the Thunder Skill and lacked enough experience, leading to imprecise control during real-world application; he thought merely crippling the trafficker would suffice, but unexpectedly, he electrocuted him to death...
"Feeling a bit at a loss psychologically, but thinking it over, this is a human trafficker..."
In a certain sense, a human trafficker is more abhorrent than a murderer. His death can be seen as cleansing society, benefiting the community, and protecting countless families.
Soon, he figured it out and let it go.
Can human traffickers even be considered human?
Initially worried his electric powers had been seen by the trafficker, fearing exposure, but now, he no longer needed to worry.
With Heaven-Defying Comprehension, one’s understanding of things would be profound, quickly grasping the core principles.
Thus, killing a human trafficker; if this had happened before his transmigration, as an ordinary person, Lin Beichen would indeed have felt uneasy for a while. But now, it was easily understood.
Buzz buzz!
At that moment, his phone suddenly vibrated.
He glanced at it; it was a message from Zhou Ya.
"The police have arrived, where are you now, share your location."
...
Small Front Gate Park, main entrance.
Zhou Ya, looking anxious and nervous, checked her phone amidst the police who hurried over from the Small Front Gate Police Station, numbering more than a dozen.
To meet up with the police quickly, Zhou Ya chose to meet with them at the entrance.
Wang Kai quickly assigned most of the police, commanding, "Immediately surround and block the park’s surrounding roads."
"Yes!"
The police responded swiftly.
Just then, Zhou Ya exclaimed in delight, "Officer, Lin Beichen shared his location with me!"
Meanwhile, she began running.
Wang Kai gestured vigorously to other officers, rushing after her.
In an instant, no one spoke.
But...
Everyone ran quickly.
A student likely exposed to a ruthless human trafficker—such a scenario was alarming just to imagine.
The tense, anxious atmosphere spread among the group.
The chaotic sounds of hurried footsteps further agitated Zhou Ya’s already nervous heart, but after a few minutes, seeing a familiar figure in the distance, her heart was filled only with joy and excitement.
"Officer, he’s over there!"
Zhou Ya softly directed Wang Kai.
Wang Kai also spotted Lin Beichen at that moment, but due to the blockage from willows and evergreens, he, like Zhou Ya, hadn’t seen the trafficker’s corpse.
Wang Kai frowned, how come he’s alone? Standing on the road so conspicuously? What is happening?
On the way, he had imagined many scenarios.
Like Lin Beichen secretly hiding behind evergreens tracking the trafficker; or Lin Beichen being discovered, leading to a brawl; or Lin Beichen severely injured, lying on the ground; even Lin Beichen subdued by the trafficker, awaiting rescue.
But...
Never had he imagined this scenario.
"Something’s off."
Wang Kai signaled caution to the others, moving silently, then led them slowly forward.
Upon close approach, all the officers immediately noticed the human trafficker at Lin Beichen’s feet. Confirming no danger around, they lifted safety precautions.
Instantly!
They all rushed towards Lin Beichen.
Zhou Ya shouted, "Lin Beichen!"
Hearing the call, Lin Beichen turned around, and she had already reached him.
She, panting heavily, glanced him over, seeing no apparent injuries.
Worriedly, she asked, "You, are you okay?"
"I’m fine, don’t worry."
Lin Beichen’s smile was somewhat forced, then he pointed to the human trafficker on the ground, his face pale, saying, "But he...might be in trouble."
Lin Beichen’s face seemed fear-stricken, but it was due to great exertion, and at this moment, the state was just right.
"Ah!"
Zhou Ya, entirely focused on Lin Beichen, hadn’t looked around until pointed to the human trafficker; she gasped at his miserable state.
"What happened to him?"
"He’s dead."
"What?!"
Zhou Ya hadn’t considered this possibility, thinking the trafficker was merely injured. Lin Beichen’s answer caused her heart to pound violently, her hands subconsciously clinging to his arm.
Lin Beichen patted her hand in reassurance, then looked at Wang Kai, saying, "Officer, the trafficker might have accomplices. I saw him making calls while walking out, possibly being met outside the park."
Wang Kai, suspiciously assessing the trafficker’s corpse.
Originally there to check the trafficker’s condition, he simultaneously realized the trafficker’s death upon hearing Lin Beichen’s conversation with Zhou Ya, causing him even more confusion.
Dead? How did he die? How could he die like this?
"Officer?"
"Ah?"
Lin Beichen’s voice pulled Wang Kai out of his daze.
"Oh, I understand."
Then he quickly thanked and contacted officers assigned to block the roads.
Meanwhile.
Other officers promptly secured the scene.
After brief questioning of Lin Beichen, they invited him and Zhou Ya back to the station for statements.
