Despite being the capital of the United States, the security situation in the southeastern area of Washington, D.C. is still difficult to describe, and can be seen as a chaotic neighborhood in reality.

Because of poverty, a large number of gangs have spawned in the area, and the large number of gangs has spread chaos throughout the neighborhood, so that people with even a little bit of money will move out, leaving only the poorest people to be coerced by the gangs.

As a result, in such a vicious circle, the southeast of Washington, D.C., has become one outside the law, with no surveillance, no policing, and everyone is left to their own devices.

Normally, only locals would be active in this area, while non-locals would stay away. But just as night fell, a figure silently appeared on the top of an apartment building in the middle of the lawless land.

This person is Liang En, who with the power of "Phantom Moon Decision", successfully reached the top floor of this target building in the high-risk area without alarming anyone.

At Liang's feet is a five-story apartment building, one of the low-rent houses for retired soldiers after the end of World War II, which looks no different from the surrounding buildings.

But when Liang used illusion as a cover to follow the patrols around the building into the building, he was surprised to find that the inside and outside of the building looked completely different.

Completely different from the old and dilapidated appearance of the house, the interior of this house looks quite decently decorated, and it feels like the decoration of the houses in the middle-class neighborhoods on the other side of the city.

As he scouts floor by floor, Liang discovers that the apartment building has been converted into the headquarters of a criminal gang, with everything from dormitories, weapons depots, clinics and training bases.

Of course, whether it's the unbranded guns, the bloodstained rooms, or the chemical labs with all sorts of illegal drugs, this is not a normal apartment building, but a crime den.

If you have to describe it, this apartment building is a bit like the apartment building where the protagonist lived in 2077 in Liang En's play, not only apartments, but also small commercial complexes, and the rooms are also full of all kinds of things that are not very legal.

The target he had been following was a spacious-looking apartment on the fourth floor, entangled with three men, two women, and five people, carrying out something that would be harmonized if they were described in detail.

"It's really spicy—" Seeing the six people in the room trying to exhaust the various permutations and combinations of the movement, Liang En sighed and left the room, and continued his search.

Soon he came to the second floor of the apartment, but when he arrived at the staircase, he unexpectedly felt a faint spiritual power with a bloody aura in a room not far away.

"It's just dramatic." Liang En, who sensed the presence of spiritual power, quickly jumped out of the window in the hallway, and then slipped in through the window of that room.

In front of him was a very luxurious room, which looked like a palace with the surrounding wallpaper and ornate furniture under the dazzling crystal lamps on the ceiling.

And in the room on the side of this palace, a big black man and two women and a man were lying on the bed, looking like they had just fought a battle and were sleeping soundly, and there was a lot of mess on the ground.

"Don't these people have nothing else to do when they're idle?" After running the Phantom Moon Decision and casting a spiritual power that caused the guys to fall into a deep stupor, Liang En began to carefully examine the room.

In addition to the furniture, the room is filled with paintings, porcelain, and handicrafts that look like they are valuable, but they all pile up together and make the room look like a grocery store.

At the same time, after just a glance, Liang En, who has nearly 200 years of cultivation, found a lot of problems from this pile of things, such as those oil paintings and porcelain, some of which are made of modern materials, and those handicrafts also have traces of modern machining.

Although most of these traces are well hidden, ordinary people can't see them at all, but Liang En is not an ordinary person.

So with a single glance, you can find all the fakes in the room.

"Yes, there are at least three oil paintings, six pieces of porcelain and a set of armor and weapons that are genuine, and they can sell for seven or eight hundred thousand dollars." After scanning the room, Liang En nodded, and then looked at the place in the center of the room where a trace of spiritual power existed.

In the center of the room is a heavy bronze coffee table inlaid with pearl oysters, precious stones and even gold, which form a vivid pattern on the table top and on both sides of the table.

"I guess that's what the people who take advantage of it think are dark." Looking at this coffee table, which was very conspicuous in both position and style, Liang En put his hand on it and sent it back to the ancient world, and then he sent the real ones he had just found back to the ancient world.

After doing all this, Liang En left the room the same way, but before leaving the room, he set up a small group of sun fire in the room that could be controlled by himself, and at the same time he easily shot out a spiritual power to make the leader fall into a complete coma.

He continued to search down the stairs, but the rooms on the lower floors were just ordinary apartments, and they didn't have much search value.

After completing the search of the entire building, Liang began to place clumps of solar fires under his control into key locations, and did not leave the building until he was sure that all similar locations had been placed in solar fires.

"Let's start now—"

When Liang En came to a place five or six hundred meters away from the building, he activated the sun fires that he had left behind, and in the next moment, several flames exploded on the apartment building in the distance.

Since these flames were the solar fire of the cultivators, the building was quickly burned to the ground into a mountain of flames, and at the same time explosions, shattering, and screams rang out.

Many people could be seen trying to extinguish the fire, but those who tried to extinguish the fire quickly had to leave the room due to the large amount of illegal flammable materials placed in the room.

After making sure that everything was going well, Liang En went directly back to the hotel where he was staying, and then returned to the ancient world for the first time to start checking his loot.

After inspecting the artifacts to make sure there were no problems, Liang En turned his attention to the bronze coffee table, probably because he had come to the ancient world with plenty of aura, so he could even see a trace of blood-red gas coming out of the crack in the coffee table.

"Let me see what the hell you are?"

Liang En muttered as he used his sword energy to open the mechanism on the coffee table, and as he gently pressed a gem, the top of the table and the side of the wooden board bounced open at the same time.

With a few clicks, a large pile of gold, gems and small antiques were displayed in front of Liang En's eyes.

In the midst of such a large pile of antiques, a small dagger that looked inconspicuous lay quietly on a pile of jewels, but the blood-red smoke rising around the dagger already explained the identity of this dagger.
