“I really didn’t expect that the Daoyan Empress would actually be the leader of the Free Life Association.”
Seeing Shen An’an nod, confirming that what Yan Qi said was true, Captain Ma couldn’t help but mutter this to himself.
Seeing the expression on Captain Ma’s face at that moment, Yan Qi naturally felt very pleased with herself. Then she said to Captain Ma,
“So, Uncle Ma, after hearing this, do you still think the Free Life Association isn’t reliable?”
Hearing Yan Qi’s question, Captain Ma was stunned for a moment before quickly replying to her,
“No, how could the Free Life Association, with the Daoyan Empress as its leader, possibly be unreliable? With their support, I believe we can definitely resolve the situation with the five supernatural criminals in the bank in one go, without harming the hostages.”
Just as Captain Ma finished speaking, Shen An’an suddenly thought of something and said to Yan Qi,
“Xiao Qi, if I remember correctly, aren’t all the supernatural beings from the Free Life Association currently busy carrying out missions with our Special Affairs Bureau? Do they really have the time to come and support us?”
Hearing this, Yan Qi revealed a slight smile and replied to her,
“Don’t worry, Sister Shen. Although all the members of the Free Life Association I know are busy with tasks cooperating with the Special Affairs Bureau, that doesn’t mean they don’t have the time to provide us with support.”
“What?”
Hearing Yan Qi’s words, Shen An’an couldn’t help but show a confused expression. But before she could ask for clarification, Captain Ma, knowing the urgency of the situation inside the bank, suddenly interrupted their conversation.
“Alright, let’s stop this idle chatter. Little girl, when will the supernatural being supporting you arrive? Also, what method are you going to use to rescue the hostages in the bank and subdue the five supernatural criminals at the same time?”
Hearing Captain Ma’s question, Yan Qi, though aware of the urgency, still looked completely at ease as she replied,
“Uncle Ma, the supernatural being supporting us actually arrived a while ago.”
“Arrived? But I didn’t see anyone?”
Lifting his head to look around and seeing no unfamiliar figure, Captain Ma looked down at Yan Qi, asking with some confusion.
“Uncle Ma, of course you can’t see her. After all, this supernatural being who came to support us isn’t in her usual physical state right now.”
“Not in a physical state? Is it because of the influence of her supernatural power?”
Hearing Yan Qi’s reply and recalling some information he had gathered about supernatural beings these past few days, Captain Ma, realizing something, instinctively asked Yan Qi further.
Hearing this, Yan Qi quickly nodded to him and replied,
“Yes, her current state is indeed due to the influence of her own supernatural power.”
“I thought it might be something like that. But little girl, you only answered my first question just now. You still haven’t answered my second one.”
Dismissing thoughts about Yan Qi’s invisible support and remembering that his second question remained unanswered, Captain Ma quickly urged her.
Facing Captain Ma’s urging, Yan Qi remained as calm as before and replied,
“Uncle Ma, regarding our method to rescue the hostages and subdue the five supernatural criminals, I don’t think I need to tell you anymore.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Because while we were just talking here, the supernatural being who came to support us has already entered the bank. By now, she has probably already rescued all the hostages. As for those five supernatural criminals, their situation probably isn’t much better.”
“Huh?”
While Captain Ma’s mind was still reeling from Yan Qi’s answer due to momentary confusion,
not far away, one of Yan Qi’s avatars, the electronic songstress Ji Zige, who had entered the bank’s internal surveillance system through the network, was observing the situation in the bank lobby through the monitoring cameras. Her task was to rescue the hostages and subdue the five supernatural criminals.
“Why are these guys wearing colorful masks on such hot weather? Have supernatural criminals recently developed a fondness for this kind of accessory?”
Looking at the supernatural criminals wearing colorful masks on the surveillance video, Ji Zige couldn’t help but silently complain about it.
Then, Ji Zige shifted her gaze to the eleven hostages held captive by these colorful criminals.
“Anyway, since these hostages are still unharmed for now, let me check if the speakers and electronic devices inside the bank are working properly.”
Withdrawing her attention from the colorful criminals and the ordinary hostages they had captured, Ji Zige quickly inspected the speakers of all the electronic devices inside the bank for any issues.
After completing the check and confirming that most electronic devices’ speakers inside the bank were functioning correctly,
and not wanting to waste more time here and risk getting scolded by her ‘mother’, Ji Zige activated her special ability as quickly as possible. Soon, the mobile phones of these colorful criminals and the hostages they had captured, along with every electronic device in the entire bank capable of producing sound, came under Ji Zige’s control.
“Now that control is established, let me treat you criminals to my wonderful singing. I hope you can still stay clear-headed after listening to my song.”
Muttering this silently to herself, Ji Zige unhesitatingly opened her small mouth and began to sing.
Listening to the incredibly beautiful singing emanating from all directions, including the electronic devices on their own persons, both the colorful criminals and the hostages imprisoned in the bank showed expressions of surprise, completely baffled by this strange turn of events.
But before they could be puzzled for long, as the supernatural power woven into Ji Zige’s singing took effect, the hostages, who had little resistance to supernatural forces, quickly fell into a state of intoxication, completely unaware of their surroundings.
“The singing is problematic! What should we do?”
Feeling that the singing coming from all directions was very wrong, the man with the red mask, now already affected by Ji Zige’s supernatural power, asked his companions with a pained expression.
However, before his companions could answer, Ji Zige’s singing completely seized their minds, causing them, like the hostages, to sink into a stupor induced by the beautiful melody.
