Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 147: Chapter 126: With the Body of a Human!

”Is the call over yet?” Concerned about his own career and reputation, Captain Bai didn’t dare to take it lightly and asked.

Li Shuo shook his head. ”No, it’s not.”

”Then why aren’t you hurrying to convince him? While that young man hasn’t run far, get him to come back, quickly!” Captain Bai’s voice suddenly rose, sharp with exasperation.

Although it wasn’t a kind thought, he found himself considering for the first time that perhaps being too warm-hearted wasn’t always a good thing for young people. I know you’re full of righteous zeal, with a heart of gold, and I know you want to help us police catch the human traffickers, but did you really have to go this far?!

But Captain Bai also knew that once these traffickers escaped into the mountains, changed their appearances, and evaded the surveillance area, finding them again wouldn’t be impossible, but the likelihood was certainly not high. This wasn’t due to police incompetence, but rather a lack of means. But to expect this young man to follow the traffickers on foot and keep track of them? That’s clearly not realistic! This is really... Captain Bai closed his eyes, massaging the bridge of his nose, deeply troubled.

Hearing his words, Li Shuo snapped back to his senses and quickly responded. He picked up the phone, just about to speak, when he heard Lin Siqi’s voice preempt him from the other end of the call, ”Well... Officer, while you two were talking, Zhang Beixing... he’s already chased after the traffickers’ van and disappeared. Even if I wanted to persuade him now, I couldn’t catch up...”

At her words, Captain Bai and Li Shuo were instantly stunned. They looked at each other until, a moment later, Captain Bai could no longer hold back and exclaimed, ”Damn!” How much time has passed? Not even two minutes, right? So, his legs are rented, are they? About to expire and need to be returned immediately!

”Well... Captain Bai, what should we do now?” Noticing Captain Bai’s grim expression, Li Shuo seemed to shrink into himself and cautiously asked.

Captain Bai took a deep breath and said irritably, ”What else can we do? Floor it and get over there! This young man... he’s truly one of a kind! I’m speechless!”

One of a kind. That was Captain Bai’s only appraisal of Zhang Beixing. Other than that phrase, he really couldn’t find a more apt description because that boy, Zhang Beixing, was truly one of a kind. Call him good? The kid acts recklessly, daring to chase those traffickers alone, and on foot, completely disregarding the danger. Call him bad? He pursues the traffickers so fiercely, chasing them relentlessly even after they’ve fled into the mountains.

「...」

While Captain Bai was rushing towards the small hill on the outskirts of town.

「On the hill,」

After parting with Lin Siqi and Lin Pengfei, Zhang Beixing ran along the extremely rugged mountain road, relentlessly pursuing the silver-white van.

His decision to pursue on foot after the tire blew out wasn’t a rash act of impetuosity, but a calculated one. The reason the traffickers entered the mountains was precisely because the complex terrain and winding, difficult roads made it easier for them to escape. Anyone unfamiliar with the terrain who followed them in here could easily be shaken off by the traffickers, who knew the area well and could make a clean getaway.

This indeed gave them a certain home-field advantage. But it also presented a problem for them. Namely, they couldn’t drive fast in the forest! Otherwise, no matter how familiar they were with the area, a single misstep could lead to their vehicle crashing and their own deaths! Of course, the bumpy mountain road was the main reason; even an off-road vehicle wouldn’t help much.

This gave Zhang Beixing an opportunity.

After increasing his Constitution and Power attributes to 89.9, and through prolonged training, his running ability, stamina, balance, and core strength had all been fully developed and substantially enhanced. As a result, he could move swiftly on the road, easily overcoming obstacles that would be fatal for a vehicle but posed no problem for him. Although he occasionally encountered obstacles, thanks to his powerful Constitution, they didn’t significantly slow him down, allowing him to maintain his speed and relentlessly tail the van.

Although he didn’t know his current level of athletic ability or how long he could keep this up, he wasn’t worried. Damn it, I have the System! Afraid of those pricks? Not a chance!

「...」

「Meanwhile, in the clattering, speeding van.」

The shifty-looking man in the driver’s seat glanced at the rearview mirror. Seeing Zhang Beixing frantically chasing them, he suddenly exclaimed, ”F*ck, Boss! That guy from the park who knocked out Huzi is still chasing us!”

Hearing this, the man called Boss was startled. He removed the towel covering the little girl’s mouth. She immediately passed out from the sedatives on it. He tossed the towel aside, then looked at the man who had spoken and cursed irritably, ”What the hell, he’s still following? Shit! Is this kid really that stupid? Daring to chase us into the mountains—isn’t he afraid of dying?”

The boss felt that today was utterly jinxed—bad luck had practically knocked on his door and moved in! They had been planning to do just a few more jobs, then change their identities and move to other cities to continue their operations. Things had been going smoothly, and they were on the verge of success, but then, midway, this fool Zhang Beixing had shown up.
