The Rift Between Cities: The Uprisers

The deputy captain narrowed his eyes, staring at Ning Fan.

"Deputy Meng, this kid needs to be taught a lesson. Leave him to me! I guarantee, within a day, I'll teach him how to speak properly," the tall, thin man sneered.

The deputy captain considered for a moment.

"Take him back first."

The tall, thin man looked a bit disappointed but didn't dare to give Ning Fan a hard time in front of the deputy captain.

Soon, Ning Fan was escorted to a building in the inner district.

In a completely sealed room, Ning Fan's hands and feet were bound to a chair.

Sitting opposite him was the deputy captain.

"Do you know that man?" the deputy captain sat in his chair, smoking a pungent cigarette with his legs crossed.

Ning Fan remained silent.

"Just for mentioning Soul Servants within the district, I could lock you up for ten years," the deputy captain said calmly. "Playing tough won't work here."

"Deputy Meng, is it?" Ning Fan suddenly smiled. "I want to ask, did I kill anyone?"

The deputy captain's face immediately darkened.

Ning Fan continued, "Did I use a Soul Servant within the district?"

The deputy captain frowned.

Ning Fan sneered, "The person who violated the rules is outside the district!"

"Kid, watch your..."

"If you had any real ability, the person sitting here being interrogated by you should be that archer, not me," Ning Fan interrupted the deputy captain's warning.

The cigarette between the deputy captain's fingers had burned out.

But he seemed oblivious to it, his dead fish eyes still fixed on Ning Fan.

"You seem to have a big problem with us Monitors, huh?"

"I didn't originally."

"So you're saying, it's because we let that guy go? That's why you're hostile towards us?"

"Sort of."

Ning Fan was indeed dissatisfied with the Monitors' actions.

It didn't matter if they couldn't catch him.

But they stopped Ning Fan.

Otherwise, once out of the district, Ning Fan could have found a way to lure him near the cave and team up with Qiao Fei and Hui Zi!

Although success wasn't guaranteed, at least there was hope.

But the giant axe thrown by the deputy captain in front of him had dashed that hope.

"You have a grudge against him?"

Ning Fan fell silent again.

"But you don't seem to know much about him."

The deputy captain picked up a piece of paper from the desk and placed it in front of Ning Fan. "This is his information. Take a look, and you'll understand why we couldn't catch him... it wasn't by accident."

Driven by curiosity, Ning Fan looked at the paper.

At the top was a photograph.

It was him!

Ning Fan had already deeply etched his appearance in his mind.

Below were his basic details.

Name: Su Bei

Age: Around 25

Soul Servant: [Light Arrow]

Soul Level: [Hundred Souls] (or above)

Crimes: Illegal use of Soul Servant and murder of 7 residents and Monitors in F7 District, illegal use of Soul Servant and murder of high-level district administrators and 9 Monitors in F11 District, illegal use and...

Wanted Level: A

Ning Fan was stunned.

This person was actually at the [Hundred Souls] level?!

Based on Qiao Fei's judgment earlier, they thought he was at the [Ten Souls] level.

It seemed Qiao Fei had misjudged.

This man called Su Bei was stronger than they had imagined!

But, those knife wounds on his body...

Brother Chuan was only at the [Single Soul] level, could he have possibly cut him up like that?

The questions in Ning Fan's mind multiplied, urgently wanting to find this Su Bei and get some answers!

Moreover, Su Bei's "glorious deeds" numbered more than a dozen!

He had basically caused trouble throughout the F Districts.

Such a person, and he still hadn't been caught, could even appear in various districts!

"What do you think, if you had chased after him just now, would it be him dead, or you?" The deputy captain interrupted Ning Fan's thoughts.

Ning Fan looked up to see a mocking smile.

"Don't tell me you stopped me to save my life."

Ning Fan quickly calmed down. "From your subordinate's attitude, I don't see much goodwill."

"Of course, I have no reason to save you," the deputy captain admitted. "I just wanted to learn more about Su Bei from you."

He shrugged.

"But obviously, you know even less about him than we do!"

Ning Fan couldn't argue.

In fact, recently, Ning Fan felt that he had changed quite a bit.

Once, he was a person who liked to prepare everything before taking action.

But since joining the [Stray Dog Pack], he hadn't had time to prepare for anything.

Being set up by Yang Beihai was sudden.

The death of his brothers was also sudden.

He had no time to think or organize.

This had unconsciously turned him into a reckless person acting on instinct.

Regardless of whether the deputy captain had good intentions in stopping him, at least...

It served as a wake-up call.

Ning Fan suddenly thought of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan seemed rough, hot-tempered, and impulsive.

But the moment Su Bei appeared, he made the most reasonable response.

One must always maintain sufficient calmness.

Don't let emotions affect judgment.

Having realized this, for the first time in nearly three days, Ning Fan felt his heart...

Calm down.

He was also gradually starting to adapt to the world outside the district.

"Thanks," Ning Fan said softly. "I apologize for my recklessness earlier."

The deputy captain, who was about to leave, paused when he heard Ning Fan's words.

He looked at Ning Fan curiously, suddenly smiling.

"Changing tactics, huh?"

"No, I just feel that you did save my life," Ning Fan licked his lips. "But I still remember how your subordinate bullied me. One thing at a time."

"Oh? Holding a grudge against my subordinate right in front of me?" The deputy captain tilted his head, intrigued. "What? You want to beat him up?"

"If I get the chance, I definitely will," Ning Fan became a bit more serious. "But right now, I'd rather talk about cooperation with you."

The deputy captain was taken aback, but quickly sneered, "What cooperation could we possibly have?"

"Su Bei has committed crimes in so many districts, and no Monitor has been able to catch him. If you in F27 District could do it, wouldn't that be a feather in your cap?"

"Catch Su Bei?" The deputy captain looked at him like he was an idiot. "He's already gone, didn't you see? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Who says he won't come back just because he ran away?" Ning Fan raised an eyebrow. "If you trust me, I have an 80% chance of taking him down!"

The deputy captain finally wiped the smile off his face.

Although he felt that Ning Fan's words weren't very credible, the temptation of capturing Su Bei was too great for him.

Just as Ning Fan said, if he could do what Monitors from so many districts couldn't...

Then the Monitors of F27 District would gain great face!

But just as the deputy captain was still hesitating, an impatient voice came from outside the door.

"In the middle of the night, people are trying to sleep! Why do you have to call me here? Don't you know women age faster when they lack sleep?"

As the voice appeared, the door to the room was pushed open.

Ning Fan was stunned when he saw the person at the door.

Likewise, the person opening the door was also taken aback.
