My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

Chapter 82: Memory Module, Uncle An's Surprise

Amidst the grating, teeth-grinding sound of friction, the half-open iron door was slowly pushed open. A figure stepped out from the shadows and into the overlapping glare of tactical flashlights.

Someone instinctively shouted, "Freeze!!"

The moment she saw the person clearly, the female police officer's pupils dilated sharply.

It was a young man with a cold, sharp demeanor and a handsome, resolute face.

Even though he was only wearing a cheap, plain white outfit, his tall, upright posture made him stand out as extraordinary.

He walked out from behind the iron door with the calm composure of someone strolling out of their own home.

"Don't shoot!!!"

She yelled out immediately. "It's Mr. Lin! He's one of us!"

Not just her, but most of the SWAT officers present recognized that young face, and their eyes all went wide in shock.

What did this mean?

Wasn't the signal supposed to mean they needed backup and had to move in early?

Did this look like someone needing rescue?

Looking at the young man's composed demeanor clashed with the memory of the gunfire and the increasingly audible groans of pain coming from behind the now-open door, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.

Under the harsh, blinding glare of countless lights, the young man squinted slightly in discomfort and raised a hand to shield his forehead.

"The lights are too bright."

Lin Guang complained flatly, continuing to walk forward.

The slightly dragging sound of his footsteps rang out again. Everyone instinctively looked down at his feet and noticed his black sneakers had split at the seams, with half the sole hanging off.

The female officer stared at the completely unharmed Lin Guang as he walked up to her, completely dumbfounded. She blurted out instinctively, "Mr. Lin, are you alright?"

They were inside the thugs' nest, for crying out loud!

Gunshots had been fired!

"I've already taken care of it. You all can go in and make the arrests now."

Lin Guang stepped aside to clear the path.

Through the gap he created, the SWAT officers in the front finally got a clear view of the situation inside.

And then...

They were all frozen in place.

More than twenty people were lying scattered haphazardly on the floor, groaning in agony. Knives were strewn everywhere, and the sharp-eyed among them could even see several pistols lying on the ground.

Meanwhile, Zhao Chen, who had somehow shrunk back to his original size, was lying there, his body embedded in the concrete floor.

Lin Guang spoke in his usual calm tone, "They tried to threaten my personal safety, so I acted in self-defense."

He tilted his head, as if thinking about what they were worried about. "Don't worry, it wasn't excessive force."

"…………"

Is that the point here, dammit?

Did you really do all this by yourself?

Are you even human?

How come you weren't hurt even when they fired at you?

A silver voice recorder and two packets of white powder were handed over to the female officer by the young man. She instinctively lowered her ballistic shield and reached out with a slightly trembling hand to take them, her movements stiff, almost dropping them.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Guang stated calmly, "This is evidence that they admitted to trafficking illegal drugs and having a stable supply channel."

"They were planning to move into the Western Suburbs of Wind Capital. They've got big appetites."

"There are five pistols inside. I'm not sure if there are more hidden elsewhere. Search thoroughly."

"Also, I suspect there might be other victims inside. You'd better get in there quickly and help those who need it."

"All of this combined should mean your trip wasn't a waste."

Lin Guang's voice remained calm, but it jolted the officers present awake, making everyone catch their breath.

Trafficking illegal drugs? A stable supply channel? And they're carrying multiple guns? Plus victims?

Without a doubt, this was a big fish, an extremely dangerous shark.

Taking down a target this dangerous was definitely a major achievement!

No matter how you looked at it, the trip was definitely not wasted.

But...

Was it over just like that?

It all felt so unreal.

Lin Guang walked right past the female officer and headed out of the factory without looking back. "Give me a ride back. I have school tomorrow, so I need to get to bed early tonight."

"Huh? Oh!"

The female officer responded absentmindedly. She glanced at the retreating figure, then instinctively and carefully stuffed the recorder and powder into the SWAT team leader's hands. Looking a bit dazed, she quickly trotted after him.

"………"

The team leader looked down at the recorder and powder in his hands, then at the fully armed SWAT officers around him. They exchanged bewildered glances.

School?

…………………

A police car turned on its headlights and slowly drove away.

The remaining SWAT officers began their work.

A group of gang members with bruised and swollen faces, their hands cuffed behind their backs, were taken into custody. Those who were conscious groaned in pain as they were shoved into police cars, while those who had passed out were carried out like dead pigs, arms and legs being dragged.

Heavy evidence boxes were continuously brought out, with a dedicated person taking photos nonstop.

The boxes were open, revealing them to be packed full of restricted knives, glinting coldly in the light.

And at that moment.

Twenty meters away from the factory.

In a pitch-black grove of trees, Xia Yao and the butler named Uncle An stood behind a tree, quietly watching everything unfold.

The girl spoke softly.

"...Uncle An."

Behind her, the tall, thin old man in a butler's uniform gave a slight bow.

Xia Yao didn't speak immediately, just took a few deep breaths.

At that moment, she finally understood some things she had always overlooked.

Why, when she first met him, the young man named Lin Guang was so skilled and unhesitating in his rescue when she was being harassed by thugs.

Why, in this remote area far from the center of Wind Capital, there were so few local thugs, forcing her to hire her own employees just to let Lin Guang play out the 'hero saving the beauty' act with her.

Why Lin Guang's home had such an unusually thick, heavy security door installed.

Why Uncle An's expression had remained so calm until the gunshots rang out.

Her voice was very soft, but carried a slight tremor.

"The legendary night hero of the Western Suburbs, the one who only moves in the darkness, captures all kinds of wanted criminals and serious offenders, and makes gangs and villains too scared to act out... is..."

"Uncle An, you used the family's connections to investigate him behind my back, didn't you?"

"Yes."

Faced with the young lady's accusation, Uncle An's tone remained as gentle and calm as ever. "You hate using the family's resources to pry into other people's privacy, preferring to see things with your own eyes. Of course I know that."

A hint of doting helplessness laced the old man's words as he let out a soft sigh. "But as your butler, I couldn't possibly let you associate with someone of unknown origins."

"Until I'm too old to walk, I have to protect you, Miss."

Uncle An spoke, his eyes shifting to a burly, naked man covered in tattoos with a pallid face being escorted by police into a police car. It was as if he had finally understood something. A deeply hidden look of astonishment flickered in his eyes as he let out another sigh.

"But still."

"Mr. Lin Guang is truly an extraordinary person."

He looked towards the direction where Lin Guang's car had driven off, his gaze somewhat distant.

That young man was clearly firmly situated within the so-called realm of the [Extraordinary], and he was definitely not a disposable product like Zhao Chen, who had forcibly crossed the threshold using external means at a great cost.

As the Xia family's butler, and the legitimate holder of a standard [Memory Module] and its corresponding [Driver], how could he have not detected any clues beforehand?

It was truly unbelievable.
