Lu Feng’s fingers tightened on the trigger. He didn’t say a word but his movements showed what he wanted to do. The same was true of the city guards. Their movements were even bigger. Obviously, as long as Lu Feng fired at Captain Howard, they would immediately shoot him to death.

A deathly silence spread like ice. In the suffocating silence, a man shouted from inside the wall.

“Resist the power of the judge!”

All the people, those inside the wall and those outside the wall, shouted this slogan.

“Resist the power of the judge!”

“Resist the power of the judge!”

“Resist the power of the judge!”

The voices became louder and louder but the central Lu Feng never moved. An Zhe stared at Lu Feng’s back and almost forgot to breathe. He didn’t know much about Lu Feng but with his shallow understanding, he knew that Lu Feng was really going to shoot.

He would die.

The young judge next to An Zhe also muttered, “Don’t…”

The aurora beat sharply and the atmosphere was as cold as ice. At this moment—

A shrill siren tore through the deep night, overshadowing the shouts. A white light suddenly appeared on the distant road and this light kept flickering as it got closer. The crowd had to move to avoid it as a white mechanical car with a red triangle painted on it rushed forward. As the car arrived, the door opened and a young man in a white coat poked his head out. An Zhe recognized him. He had been at the city gates a month ago and An Zhe’s genetic testing had been done by this young doctor.

“I’m the person in charge of the Lighthouse’s detection department.” The doctor took the megaphone and gasped a few times. “The first generation of the gene coupling agent was successfully configured an hour ago. It can achieve rapid target imaging and will only take…”

He was out of breath and gasped again before declaring, “…It only takes five minutes.”

The people didn’t move as he jumped out of the car and ran over. He opened a disposable syringe and stepped forward. “Director Howard, if you are willing to cooperate.”

Howard rolled up the sleeves of his fully enclosed protective uniform and had his blood drawn. Then he raised his eyebrows and stared at Lu Feng. Everyone else also watched Lu Feng. An Zhe knew they were waiting for a result, for Howard’s genetic test to show as normal to prove that the Judge was indeed indiscriminately killing.

One of the protestors behind An Zhe muttered, “We’re going to change history.”

An Zhe saw Lu Feng lowered his muzzle, face blank as he leaned lazily against the wall and wiped his gun. He seemed to care about nothing.

What was he thinking? An Zhe wondered.
