Chapter 214: Aftermath of the Battle, Healing by the Hand of God
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Not knowing how much time had passed, Li Yidao regained consciousness and surveyed the chaotic room. His eyes flashed with silence, and he took a deep breath, slowly rising from the ground where he had fainted.
Li Yidao’s brain felt a piercing pain, and his entire body throbbed with intense discomfort. As he scanned the surroundings again, he noticed that the captain from Unit 36 remained unconscious on the ground, his life or death uncertain.
The middle-aged man, though sitting on the ground, seemed to have regained some consciousness. The other young police officer had not recovered since passing out.
This left Li Guosheng and Wang Qiang. Li Guosheng had already collapsed on the ground, his breath extremely weak, indicating almost no hope of survival.
As for Wang Qiang, both he and Li Guosheng were struggling to breathe. Without someone attempting to rescue them, they would soon bid farewell to this world.
Rescuing them now held little meaning.
Even if they reached the hospital in time, the ultimate result would be a vegetative state; they would not recover to become ordinary people again. This was especially true under the current circumstances, as their souls had already been shattered.
All that awaited them was death.
As for Wang Xinyue… the consciousness or soul attached to Wang Qiang through Soul Attachment had long dissipated.
The protective barrier enveloping them had also been completely eliminated.
With a heavy bang, the door to the room was forcefully pushed open. Li Hui was the first to rush in, his expression grim.
He had sensed that something was amiss earlier but found himself unable to open the interrogation room door, no matter how hard he tried.
Moreover, he felt an eerie chill that sent shivers down his spine.
He was well aware that something mysterious had occurred inside the interrogation room.
While he had some psychological preparation for such things, seeing the chaotic state of the room left him petrified.
He hadn’t expected the situation to escalate to this extent.
Almost everyone in the interrogation room was either injured or lying on the ground.
Not only that, the two main figures in this incident, the prisoners, were lying on the ground in an uncertain state of life or death.
Wait, it wasn’t just them; everyone seemed to be in a precarious condition.
Taking a deep breath, Li Hui glanced at Li Yidao and said sternly to the officers behind him, “Call an ambulance.”
He then halted the movement of the two officers behind him, entered the room himself, and pulled the interrogation room door shut.
Even with the protection against thunder provided by Unit 36, the impact of this incident was too significant.
If news of this were to spread, the situation would undoubtedly become more complicated.
After arranging everything, Li Hui turned his attention to Li Yidao.
“Are you okay?” he didn’t inquire about what had happened but rather asked if Li Yidao was alright.
Seeing Li Yidao nod, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yidao’s current condition and his identity were crucial, given the special treatment he had received from higher-ups.
It was no longer like the beginning when he had directly brought Li Yidao from his home to the police station.
It could be said that if anything happened to Li Yidao now, the consequences would be problematic-certainly not something simple.
For them, everything happening now felt surreal, but Li Hui expressed no dissatisfaction.
Leaving aside the incident when Li Yidao saved Chaoyang at the beginning, just recently, Li Yidao had saved his life.
So, regardless of receiving instructions from above, he would ensure Li Yidao’s safety at the first opportunity.
Although the choice for safety wasn’t as straightforward…
“Should I arrange for someone to take you home first?” Li Hui pondered, surveying the situation in the room, before speaking.
However, Li Yidao shook his head gently.
At this point, he had recovered some ability to move.
The main reason for their previous unconsciousness was the explosion of the souls of Wang Qiang and Wang Xinyue.
Their souls’ impact and collision had caused Li Yidao to faint instantly, and everyone else had similarly fallen into unconsciousness due to the shockwaves of this energy.
Now, they had finally regained consciousness.
Not only Li Yidao but also the middle-aged man from Unit 36 had recovered. It seemed that he hadn’t asked for the names of these two individuals from Unit 36.
Li Yidao glanced at the man, silently musing within. However, such trivial matters were of no importance.
He walked slowly toward the other person from Unit 36, the young captain.
He extended his hand and placed it on the captain’s shoulder.
Hand of God!
Hmm?
If he tried his best to save him, he would need to consume 136 years of his lifespan?
Li Yidao couldn’t help but look deeply at the other person.
It was evident that the other person indeed had some considerable skills.
To have a lifespan nearly double that of an ordinary person wasn’t something easily achieved by merely maintaining physical health.
Even if he had reservations about dealing with Unit 36, he couldn’t just stand by and watch the person suffer injuries on his account.
Consuming 136 years of lifespan, Li Yidao deemed it worthwhile.
However, using the skill for healing left his mental energy somewhat fatigued. Fortunately, it was just one person, so it wasn’t a big issue.
After treating one person, Li Yidao crouched beside the police officer who had been recording earlier.
This time, the consumption was a more reasonable 48 years of lifespan.
Next were Li Guosheng and Wang Qiang…
Looking at the current condition of the two, if Li Yidao didn’t intervene, there was a high probability they wouldn’t make it to the hospital.
After a moment of hesitation, Li Yidao decided to use the Hand of God once again.
One year of lifespan!
Let’s keep their lives hanging for now!
He couldn’t just let them pass away immediately, could he?
Although passing away was normal, at least not at this moment!
With everything done, Li Yidao walked out of the interrogation room under Li Hui’s astonished gaze.
The next steps were not his concern.
How to fabricate a story, how to explain everything that happened here—it would depend on Li Hui and the others.
Exiting the interrogation room, Li Yidao didn’t head home directly.
He knew someone would come to pick him up.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Qi Yuqiang’s figure appeared by his side.
However, Qi Yuqiang’s expression was somewhat gloomy. He observed Li Yidao’s hesitant demeanor but ultimately restrained himself.
Under Qi Yuqiang’s arrangement, another team escorted Li Yidao out of the police station, heading towards the funeral shop.
In the car, Li Yidao observed Qi Yuqiang sitting in front of him, clearly in a low-spirited state.
“Something happened?” Li Yidao inquired.
Hearing Li Yidao’s voice, Qi Yuqiang hesitated for a moment.
Perhaps he didn’t expect Li Yidao to take the initiative to ask.
Qi Yuqiang was aware that the relationship between Unit 36 and Li Yidao had become somewhat delicate due to the initial incident.
In reality, it wasn’t entirely their fault.
If Li Yidao had revealed his identity and background from the beginning, making it clear that he had connections, Unit 36 wouldn’t have adopted that attitude.
After all, that was a standard approach to dealing with ordinary individuals to prevent potential crises.
However, Li Yidao didn’t expose any aspect of his identity or abilities, which naturally led Unit 36 to take immediate measures to suppress the perceived threat.
And so, the situation had unfolded to its current state.
However, thanks to numerous battles and, perhaps, Unit 36’s efforts during this period, there was at least a slight easing of tension in their relationship.
Qi Yuqiang speculated that Li Yidao no longer regarded Unit 36 with hostility.
More likely, it was because both parties were part of China.
They shared a common origin, and this shared background laid the foundation for their current cooperation.
This was a crucial development.
After a sigh, Qi Yuqiang tentatively spoke, “Can you… make a move again?”
“Continuing like this, the casualties are increasing, and everyone is getting a bit bloodthirsty. Several colleagues I knew have already died in this battle. Especially in the fight in the small village yesterday and the journey to the police station today, things weren’t as simple as they seemed.”
“We lost eight members of Unit 36, and… two of them belong to…”
“This is a death toll we wouldn’t have experienced in the past year or even several years,” Qi Yuqiang’s words were not an exaggeration.
For them, real life-threatening crises were not that common. Moreover, their influence in China was at the top tier.
With the domestic situation relatively stable, they naturally didn’t encounter many life-threatening situations.
However, this time, the situation had gone completely insane. It was no longer just a battle between them and their rivals; numerous organizations had clandestinely joined the conflict. This meant that the ongoing battle was destined to be relentless.
But!
There was a way to stop it!
We could extinguish this war!
The method was straightforward!
That was to directly overwhelm the enemy!
As long as they could overpower all the incoming enemies!
As long as they could chop off every reaching claw!
As long as they could achieve an overwhelming victory!
This war would naturally come to an end!

But!
There was a way to stop it!
Or. to extinguish this war!
The method was straightforward!
That was to directly overwhelm the enemy!
As long as they could overpower all the incoming enemies!
As long as they could chop off every reaching claw!
As long as they could achieve an overwhelming victory!
Then, this war would naturally come to an end!
However…
Unit 36 currently lacked this capability.
Everyone was evenly matched.
There was no power to make the other side wary!
But Li Yidao was different!
He could kill from a distance, striking invisibly!
Just a glance at a photo, and he could eliminate the person.
It was unrealistic to wipe out all of the enemies.
As long as Li Yidao could eliminate the key figures behind the operation, especially targeting the director of this mission!
The final result would be evident!
