This person had clearly overthought things. Tang Li's reaction speed was much faster than he had imagined. The moment he fired, Tang Li was already in front of him. A punch, dislocated jaw, dislocated limbs, and the poison sac removed, all done in one fluid motion. Hearing the commotion from the bedroom, Tang Li didn't delay and directly opened the door to charge in. Soon, the three people in the bedroom were also subdued by Tang Li.
However, just as Tang Li was about to interrogate these five individuals, there was a knock on the door! "What's going on? Why all the noise in the middle of the night?" It turned out to be the neighbors from this building, alerted by the gunshot, coming to inquire about the situation. Before Tang Li could speak, the five watchers, with their dislocated jaws, let out muffled groans. Seeing this, Tang Li didn't stop them. Instead, he took out a mental sound emitter from his space and, imitating the voice of one of the watchers, told the people outside to get lost in a very hostile tone. The people outside could only leave, grumbling. Afterward, Tang Li began to interrogate the five watchers. The interrogation process was extremely brutal.
(An hour later...)
Distant police sirens could be heard. From the original stronghold of the R-country nationals, faint flames could be seen, but no figures. Simultaneously, a quiet girl in a protective suit calmly emerged from the stairwell of the adjacent building. This girl was Tang Li, in disguise. Through the interrogation, Tang Li had obtained some useful information. She learned about the existence of "Sacred Light Organization," a mysterious power. She also learned that only one of the five watchers was from R-country; the other four were Chinese nationals who had joined the R-country branch of the Sacred Light Organization. As for why Chinese nationals could join the R-country branch? It was because these Chinese nationals were not truly Chinese but seeds left behind by R-country when their invasion of China failed. After decades of lurking, they had taken root and sprouted in China, becoming indistinguishable from true Chinese nationals.
When Tang Li asked about the people behind them and their whereabouts, she discovered that the people behind them were extremely cautious and had not disclosed this information to them. When Tang Li asked if they recognized Tanaka and Watanabe, they said they didn't. From their accounts, Tang Li learned that the Sacred Light Organization had developed an elixir of immortality, which could slow down aging, prolong life, and even make one's body appear a decade younger. They also said that many of the Sacred Light Organization's high-ranking members were already enjoying this technology. However, the core element of these elixirs could only be extracted from long-lived animals and could not be synthesized artificially, which was why they had not been widely promoted.
During the interrogation, the five individuals repeatedly let out screams, which were heard by neighboring residents who then called the police. Tang Li, with her keen hearing, heard the sirens from afar and knew she couldn't stay any longer. Realizing she didn't have time to ask more, she put the five individuals out of their misery and collected them into her space. Looking at the surveillance equipment in the room and the blood on the floor, Tang Li hesitated for a moment before setting a fire. If she took the equipment with her, it would be akin to helping these people cover their tracks. By allowing the authorities to discover clues, perhaps they could investigate this so-called "Sacred Light Organization" and eliminate them. However, if she left it all behind, the electromagnetic pulse would not destroy the storage devices, and the official investigators would discover that they had been monitoring Tang Li. This would put Tang Li in trouble. So, she decided to set a fire to destroy the surveillance equipment, which would both alert the authorities to clues without exposing herself.
After leaving, Tang Li chose not to fly back. Instead, she returned to her own home in the guise of this quiet girl. Upon arriving home, she took off the protective suit and changed back into her original appearance. Tang Li was not satisfied with the information obtained from the interrogation tonight. Although she knew of the "Sacred Light Organization's" existence, she had not found their stronghold and could not deal with them completely. On the contrary, tonight's action might have alerted them. However, this was unavoidable. After all, the enemy was in the dark, while she was in the light, and Tang Li knew too little about them. Thinking about her future plans, Tang Li muttered, "Since the grass has been beaten and the snake has been startled, and there are still no clues..." "Then, from now on, I can act without any reservations!"
