The icy night wind whistled past He Ao's ears.

He looked down, and the ground below was so distant, the expansive eight-lane road glistening like golden threads under the streetlights.

He stood on the rooftop of a tall building, his body enveloped in a black combat suit,

He estimated that the building had to be at least two or three hundred meters tall.

He didn't have any issues, just a slight fear of heights.

"Relax your heart, it's okay."

A gentle laugh came from behind him as Selena seemed to notice his tension and patted him on the back.

Then she walked up next to He Ao, standing on the edge of the rooftop, and pointed to a red pull ring on the left chest of He Ao's combat suit, "If an accident happens later, just pull this ring, and the automatic glide wing will deploy. It will take you safely to the ground."

"So, are you ready? Little guy?"

Selena turned around, her back facing the two or three hundred meters of empty space.

Who could have imagined that He Ao was wrapped up like a big dumpling in the hospital just thirty minutes ago, being carefully tended to by a pretty nurse with a voluptuous figure.

Thirty minutes later, here he stood, pulled into overtime by Selena, embarking on his first mission in Dawn City.

Selena glanced at He Ao with a smirk on her lips. She spread her arms open like a bird spreading its wings, then tiptoed lightly and leaned backward.

The young girl's graceful body fell from hundreds of meters in the air, the howling wind blowing through her golden hair, scraping against her delicate skin as if a canary were circling a sprite in flight.

He Ao took a deep breath, turned around, and closed his eyes.

Humans are born from the earth and grow up on it, always feeling a certain attachment to it.

When people leave the earth, all their experiences seem to lose their purpose, their lives as if slipping out of their control, hence the fear.

He Ao didn't like this feeling of losing control.

But, with everything, there is always a first time.

Just as fledgling eagles will eventually spread their wings, humans dream of conquering the sky like birds.

He Ao closed his eyes and leaned slightly back. He could hear the stirring of the wind, the breathing of the sky.

The moment his center of gravity crossed a certain point, all control was lost.

He Ao's feet left the rooftop, and the howling wind slapped against his cheeks.

The earth would reach out with invisible hands to pull back those trying to conquer the sky, dragging these children into its embrace.

And under such a pulling force, He Ao kept descending.

Faster and faster, faster and faster.

Until he reached a certain limit.

Hum—

It was the trembling sound of the steel cable tensing.

His body stopped and quickly headed toward the wall.

But Selena was faster than him.

The young assistant inspector kicked directly against the giant glass curtain wall.

Bang—Crash—

After a brief impact, the faintly blue-glowing glass shattered, creating a huge breach, and Selena crashed through it into the room. The steel cable on her broke, and she flew into the room, her legs slightly bent, landing steadily on the ground.

She raised both hands, and two silver pistols appeared in her grasp, aimed at everyone in the room. "Federal Bureau of Investigation, everyone put your hands on your heads and squat down."

At that moment, He Ao also charged in through the breach. Lacking the control Selena possessed, he rolled over to dissipate his momentum.

He drew his pistol and stood beside Selena.

It seemed to be the living room of a luxury hotel suite, with two sofas on both sides, and at this moment, one person was sitting on each sofa.

The person on the left appeared extremely tall and brawny, sitting there like a small hill. He wore a gray tank top, and his right arm was replaced with a massive mechanical limb, exposed and seemingly radiating a wild aura.

Meanwhile, the person on the right was dressed in a polite, silver suit.

Between them was a long coffee table with several open silver briefcases on top.

"F**k the Federal Bureau of Investigation."

The moment He Ao and Selena appeared, the man on the left immediately reacted. He quickly stood up, looking towards Selena.

Only then did He Ao notice that his left eye had also been converted into a mechanical camera.

Simultaneously, from both sides, seven or eight people wielding guns charged out, confronting He Ao and Selena.

"I'll repeat, Federal Bureau of Investigation, put your hands on your heads and squat down."

Selena said coldly to them.

"F**king bitch."

The muscular giant spat contemptuously, his massive mechanical arm forming a fist that smashed towards Selena.

Selena let out a laugh, instantly holstering her twin pistols and drawing a thin steel cable from her waist.

What followed, He Ao only saw her body tilt sideways, nimbly dodging the giant's swinging fist, then with a light leap, she landed on the giant's shoulder, the steel cable in her hand swiftly wrapping around the burly man's neck.

With her hands pulling the ends of the cable, she held her position atop the man's neck and gave a sharp tug. The giant immediately choked, his remaining eye bulging as he toppled backward.

This sequence of moves seemed intricate and complex, yet in reality, it took less than a second—almost in the blink of an eye, the towering giant fell backward with a thud and crashed onto the floor.

Only then did his henchmen realize what happened and aimed their guns at Selena.

But by the time the giant fell, Selena had already vanished from sight. By the time his men were about to pull their triggers, gunshots rang right next to their ears.

Their wrists were pierced by searing bullets, forcing the guns from their hands to the ground.

Hearing the gunfire, the person on the right who hadn't joined the fray instinctively attempted to shoot, but the man in the silver suit quickly raised his hands, signaling his subordinates not to act rashly.

Selena kicked the guns that had fallen to the ground towards He Ao's feet, put away her pistols, and with a turn, her foot pressed down on the giant attempting to rise, then turned her attention to the silver briefcases on the table.

Inside the briefcases, occupying the entire space was black foam, with slender pits carved out in the middle, holding equally slender transparent glass bottles, within which a light green liquid flowed.

"IB-II?" Selena casually picked up a glass bottle, shook the liquid inside, and looked at the man in the silver suit, before instantly drawing her pistol and pressing it against the man's forehead. "I told you to put your hands on your head and squat down."

The man's face displayed an awkward smile as he placed his hands on his head and slowly slid down from the sofa, squatting in front of it. "Inspector Selena, we're just trying to earn some money for the kids' milk," he said.

Meanwhile, his gaze shifted behind Selena.

Among the group with pierced wrists, one slowly withdrew a small pistol from his pocket and aimed it at the back of Selena's head.

Bang——

The gunshot suddenly erupted.

Bright red blood splattered everywhere.
