After getting a rough understanding of the function of the invisible protective helmet, Brian Carter was ecstatic. This thing, once worn, not only leaves no trace to the eye, but even if someone tries to touch it, they can't feel a thing. Yet, when your brain suffers an impact, it provides super-strong defense. The helmet's notes say it can easily withstand the force of rocks being smashed against your head.

It can even protect your mind and brain from being confused or deceived by illusions or hallucinations.

Not only does it have tremendous physical defense, but it also grants immunity to mental attacks?? What a great item! After signing in on Lanks and getting the improved version of the divine ability, he suspected that Links and the Priest Mark from "Senior Brother Encounters a Ghost" were the same person. If so, that story definitely has ghosts and evil sorcerers!

At this moment, Big D had already walked past him, taking two steps forward. Seeing Brian Carter grinning foolishly here, he immediately sneered, "Damn, you really are an idiot. I just cursed at you, and you're still grinning like a fool."

As he was about to continue walking after his jab—

A speeding sedan suddenly stopped by the roadside, and then a graceful figure jumped out of the car, raising a gun. "Brian Carter..."

Brian Carter snapped to alertness, instinctively dodged aside, grabbed Big D and used him as a shield, a dagger appearing in his hand. "Drop the gun, or I'll kill him!"

Big D's underlings were all stunned. The woman smiled as she walked forward step by step, "Go ahead and kill him. Scum like this, I wish they'd die and reincarnate sooner. This morning you took a schoolgirl hostage and escaped, and now you're taking a scumbag from the gang hostage? Are you trying to make me die laughing?"

"Bitch, eat shit! How dare you curse our boss like that?"

"I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

...

Seeing the dagger pressed against Big D's neck, his underlings didn't dare make a move and started cursing at the woman.

She still smiled calmly, "Complain about me? Go ahead, I'm Inspector Helen Reed from the New Territories South Headquarters Serious Crimes Unit. File as many complaints as you want!"

Brian Carter was already secretly claiming the invisible helmet behind Big D and putting it on. "Stop, stop right now. And you guys, go get me a car, or I'll kill him."

Helen Reed kept walking. As soon as Big D's underlings tried to move, she fired a warning shot.

Brian Carter was dumbfounded. He'd played the hostage threat game a couple of times before and had gotten the hang of it, but suddenly this madwoman who didn't play by the rules showed up, making things really difficult for him.

Even with the invisible helmet on, at such close range, could it really stop a bullet?

Even with the helmet, his heart and liver weren't protected!

As he hesitated, seeing Helen Reed keep advancing, he immediately used the dagger to make a shallow cut on Big D's neck. "Stop! You think I don't dare to kill?"

Helen Reed stopped instantly.

But when Big D's underlings tried to move again, Helen Reed fired another shot!

Brian Carter was speechless and said to Big D, "She really doesn't care if you live or die. She'd rather let me stab you to death than let me go. She must think I don't dare to kill."

Big D was about to wet his pants. "Bro, which crew are you from? Calm down, let me go, and I'll make sure to keep an eye on that bitch for you later."

Chapter 009 Young People Have No Sense of Honor

As the leader of United Win Tsuen Wan, Big D was about to wet his pants. Before Brian Carter could say anything, the female inspector Helen Reed with the gun spoke again, "Brian Carter, you can't escape this time. We're really confused—you're so bad at counter-surveillance, how do you keep escaping police capture?"

"You're in Tsuen Wan, and we got the intel half an hour ago. Now every police officer in Tsuen Wan is after you."

"Even if you escape from me this time, you won't get away from the follow-up pursuit. Surrender!"

To be fair, in the eyes of the Hong Kong Island police, Little Brian's counter-surveillance skills were really inconsistent, with no reliable standard at all.

Take his first escape from Lai Chi Kok Detention Center: he took a convertible truck to the Sham Shui gambling den dismantling plant, stole a few clothes and ran... Actually, the truck owner quickly called the police, saying someone had gotten into his truck and damaged several boxes.

That was the main reason Brian Carter was discovered by patrol officers for the first time. Not to mention the two patrol officers who were seriously patrolling, even Scott Miller from the Sham Shui Police Station Serious Crimes Unit was about to lead a team to set up a roadblock.

Today, after he got off at Lai Chi Kok Station and took a ride to Tsuen Wan, he left all sorts of clues. Someone reported him, and with intel from officers like David Thompson, they knew he had come to Tsuen Wan.

Not long ago, Brian Carter saw police cars being dispatched one after another. It really wasn't Big D and Uncle Hung from Hung Hing fighting—it was all to find Brian Carter!

New Territories South Headquarters, Tsuen Wan District Police Station, Tsuen Wan Sub-District Police Station—they were all mobilizing to catch this notorious criminal who kept embarrassing the Hong Kong Island police.

But you can't blame Brian Carter for lacking ability. He was just an ordinary college student who suddenly transmigrated. Without NZT-48 to cheat, how could he play hide-and-seek with the elite Hong Kong police? It's not professional.

He never had any training! It's like someone who's never learned to drive suddenly speeding on the highway.

Only yesterday, when he was on NZT-48 and his brain was in god mode, did he recall all sorts of counter-surveillance experience, easily win tens of thousands at the mahjong parlor, and spend a night on the run in Sham Shui without leaving a trace.

But once he stopped taking the drug, almost everything he learned while cheating was useless.
