"Quick! Quicker!"
"Faster! Faster!"
"Move quicker!"
"Young Miss Marina is on the roof, hurry up!"
"Report to headquarters, report to headquarters! Li Hai has taken Young Miss Marina hostage, the situation is extremely critical, we urgently need air support!"
After Li Hai grabbed the wolf-blood hybrid girl, threw a Talismanic Incantation to blow up the rainbow flag parade, suddenly, more than a dozen secret agents in suits and sunglasses ran out from all directions and corners of the street below the tall building he was in.
These agents each pulled out their guns, talking urgently into their communicators while quickly rushing into the building, some taking the elevator, others the stairs, and began to rapidly ascend towards the roof.
Although Li Hai, standing on the roof, had already sensed the presence of these agents, he was not in a hurry.
He simply looked at the brown-skinned woman, who was slumped on the ground in front of him, and said coldly, "I've wandered around this city and found that most Bloodline and Werewolf Ranks are either commoners or slaves, with only a very few Bloodline possessing so-called noble Ranks.
But you, such a frail female blood-wolf hybrid who can't even withstand machine gun bullets, possess both Advanced Ranks of the Bloodline and Werewolf clans.
Can you tell me why?"
The moment Li Hai's Clone saw this woman in the parade crowd, he copied all her skills, and Li Hai's main body in Da Jing Zhong Jing (Great Jing, Central Capital) researched and tested them.
It was discovered that the Bloodline Elder and Werewolf Priest Ranks possessed by this woman, in their full state of physical strength and overall power, were roughly at the Steel Tendons Iron Bones Rank.
More importantly, this woman actually possessed a Rank 2 entry: 【Blood Qi Rank 2】.
However, in reality, this dark-skinned, homely-looking woman might not even be able to defeat a Shilong Mountain bandit of the Qi-bursting level.
Of course, all of this could be explained by the fact that this world belongs to a degenerate environment.
Li Hai already knew all about this.
But what couldn't be explained was, if this world belongs to a degenerate environment, then how did she upgrade from servant and commoner Ranks to Elder and Priest levels?
In response to Li Hai's cold questioning, the brown-skinned woman stammered tremblingly, "My—my father was the former President of the United States, Ao Hei Niu (satirical name), so—so my Bloodline Rank is much higher than—higher than a commoner's."
"Hmm? Former President Ao Hei Niu (satirical name)? Bloodline Legacy?"
Li Hai raised an eyebrow. "Also—Bloodline Elder and Werewolf Priest, are they actually so-called Bloodline Ranks rather than strength Ranks?"
Just as he was puzzled, the agents finally rushed onto the roof.
However, before they could negotiate or open fire, Li Hai, carrying the woman named Marina, moved hundreds of meters through the air in a single step, flying to the top of another building in the distance.
And while changing positions, he also threw out a yellow paper Talismanic Incantation, tossing it far in front of the group of agents who were rushing towards him.
Thus, a violent explosion once again ensued.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud noise, vibrations, flames, and a shockwave, the group of agents were instantly wiped out, turning into a large splash of blood and minced meat splattering everywhere.
Even the building itself began to rapidly collapse from the top down, floor by floor, making the street below, which was already filled with alarms and screams, even more chaotic.
At this moment, five or six armed helicopters rapidly flew in from all directions, seemingly intending to surround Li Hai from the air.
In response, Li Hai did not hesitate to use the Talismanic Incantations in his hand, throwing them one by one with precise aim, like ground-to-air missiles swiftly streaking across the sky, blowing all these armed helicopters into pieces in mid-air.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
For a moment, loud noises resounded from the sky in all directions.
Then, hundreds of thousands of burning metal fragments crashed down to the ground, instantly crushing many 'people' and vehicles into bloody pulp and scrap metal.
And Li Hai, on the top of the tall building hundreds of meters away, after finding that the surroundings had finally quieted down, once again looked at the terrified Marina and began another round of questioning.
During this time, whenever this dark, ugly wolf-blood hybrid hesitated, Li Hai would instantly break one of its fingers and brutally stab it into its body amidst its screams.
Thus, under this cruel and merciless torture, Li Hai quickly learned various truths about this world.
For example, the formal name of the nation he was currently in was the Bloody Federation of the United States, which was the only nation in this world, and also the only continent; everything else consisted of oceans and islands.
Furthermore, this world was also a flat-earth world, so there was no curvature of the ground whatsoever.
Therefore, the sight of looking out at the sea and watching the mast of a distant ship slowly rise from below the horizon did not exist in this world at all.
Only sufficient distance and evaporating sea mist would dilute and obscure the vision of navigators.
However, this strange situation did not exist in Yu Continent; there, horizons and sky-lines indeed existed, only they were more distant.
So Li Hai never believed that Yu Continent was some kind of 'round heaven, square earth' world, but only roughly speculated that it might be a planet even larger than Jupiter or even the sun.
As for why such a large planet hadn't collapsed into a black hole, to be honest, Li Hai wasn't particularly concerned.
Because if it exists, there must be a reason for it; he would naturally know when he had the ability to know, and it was better to focus his energy on more important matters first, such as accumulating more strong fragment pieces.
Aside from this geographical information, the intelligence Li Hai most wanted to know—whether there were Grandmaster-level individuals in this world—he also extracted from Marina's mouth.
According to her, in this world, or rather, within the Bloody Federation of the United States, there has never been any Cultivation, magic, or Qi-gong throughout history; these were all merely idle fantasies and fabrications of commoners.
Only those at the top, only those at the pinnacle of this civilized System, possessed special abilities.
Some had greater strength, some faster speed, some longer lifespans, some were more capable of bewitching people's hearts... there were many different kinds.
But there was absolutely no one who could be powerful enough to rival comic book superheroes.
As for the so-called Bloodline Ranks, they were closely related to this information, but to explain them thoroughly was quite difficult.
In short, after listening to Marina's intermittent, sobbing narration, Li Hai concluded that in this bloody nation, which spanned nearly a thousand square kilometers and had hundreds of millions of 'people,' there still existed a Cultivation and evolution System.
And the aspect this System enhanced was most likely the 【Blood Qi】 entry.
And this System, according to Li Hai's years of experience and knowledge gained from reading hundreds of web novels, could be summarized as a disguised form of the Imperial Dynasty System.
