Chapter 54 00054
54 Chapter - I Will Make Sure He Never Comes Back!
A dimly lit abandoned factory.
This industrial behemoth seemed to have been dead for many years.
Its interior was like decaying organs.
Nothing was intact, and a pervasive smell of rot hung everywhere.
The walls were like ulcerated skin.
Large patches of wall plaster, like necrotic scabs, curled and peeled away.
This exposed the rough, grey, and dilapidated brickwork beneath.
The fate awaiting this building was likely only to be forgotten and weathered away.
Yet, even so, this dilapidated place was not without living visitors.
Several foul-smelling and decaying beasts had chosen it as their temporary habitat.
A faint light reappeared in the factory building.
A scarred man, shirtless, was hitting a sandbag, producing dull thuds.
Beside him, three other men played cards in the weak light.
Thick secondhand smoke permeated the air.
“Three with one! When do you think the boss will be back?”
A man with a cigarette dangling from his lips and a scar on his face said.
“No. He’s out having fun, so he shouldn’t be back so soon, unless he can’t perform.”
A thin man, also with a cigarette, revealed a wicked smile.
“Bomb! You actually dare to badmouth the boss. Be careful when he comes back and cuts you down. Can’t he just be out getting benefits for his brothers?” The scruffy man stubbed his cigarette on the ground.
The scarred man interrupted their conversation: “Alright, stop joking about the boss. Why not think about how to deliver the goods to the buyer next time?”
The thin man looked indifferent: “Isn’t it enough to just leave these things to the boss? With him around, we can easily meet our quotas.”
The scruffy man laughed: “Haha, that’s true. The Countermeasure Bureau has been hunting us for so long, and we’re still doing just fine, aren’t we?”
The next second.
A playful girlish voice reached the four men’s ears.
“Hehe~ Is that so? Then you might not live past tonight.”
“Who!?”
The four men’s expressions changed, and they all erupted, their eyes wide as they scanned their surroundings.
Bang!
The working light bulb was shattered by an unknown object.
The disappearance of the light source instantly dimmed the surroundings.
Only the faint moonlight shining through the broken window remained.
And it was this irregular-shaped moonlight that allowed the four men to discover a figure standing on the window.
Mu Luo stood there, his cold gaze looking down at the four, exuding an intimidating aura without needing to be angry.
All four men were espers.
Although their mental power levels were low, they could still feel a terrifying oppressive force ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) from that figure.
This was pressure that even their boss couldn’t provide!
It was a master!
The strongest shirtless man here was already drenched in sweat.
Every cell in his body trembled.
His strong C-grade mental power allowed him to perceive even more information.
This was simply a monster!
Wait a minute.
The voice just now was clearly from a young girl.
The one standing on the window was clearly a male.
There was another master!?
Realizing this, they almost peed their pants in fear.
A slender girl walked out of the darkness, the red glow from her eyes extremely conspicuous.
“Hi~ Are you looking for me?”
The four men couldn’t clearly see the girl’s true appearance.
They could only see those murderous red eyes in the darkness.
Her voice was pleasant to hear.
But the feeling she gave off was more like a vengeful spirit coming to claim lives!
“Who… who are you two? We have no grievances or grudges. Your style doesn’t seem like the Countermeasure Bureau’s people. If there’s any misunderstanding, we can sit down and talk it over.”
Mu Luo didn’t reply, speaking to himself as if proclaiming a crime.
“Sequence 096, Tang Zhuo, ability 【Mist Array】, once caused traffic paralysis on a total of thirteen main city roads, resulting in hundreds of deaths. Confirmed to be involved in illicit goods trading, and all members of his criminal gang are espers.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the four men fell silent.
This tone, this attitude.
The visitors meant ill.
The other party wasn’t a Countermeasure Bureau esper, and might be even more sinister than a Countermeasure Bureau esper.
The scarred man’s hand pressed the emergency call on his phone behind his back.
Looking at the murderous gaze of the girl in the shadows, it was clear that they wouldn’t be allowed to leave alive.
With a vibration alert from his hand, the scarred man picked up his phone and shouted:
“Boss! Run! Don’t come back!”
Mu Luo gave a cold command.
“Move.”
The tall figure flashed to the four men’s side at an imperceptible speed.
In a single breath, the blade rose and fell, and sword light flashed everywhere.
The four espers had no time to react before they were smoothly sliced open and died instantly.
“Whoosh—”
Gu Wenxin flicked the blood from her blade and slowly sheathed it. After that, she said nothing more, acting as a silent executioner.
Jiang Huashen stood on the steel framework of the dome, yawning boredly.
“No artistic sense at all.”
Ye Yao walked out, covering Wu Mi’s eyes.
Her heart was beating a little faster.
But it wasn't from witnessing the murder scene.
【Gu Wenxin slays four C-grade espers. Family activity proceeds smoothly. Reward: 2 attribute points.】
Six, six, six!
There’s even a teammate experience distribution mechanism!
Now I can slack off the entire time!
I just need to follow behind my teammates and slowly leech experience.
It’s not that Ye Yao doesn’t want to show off.
It’s just that there’s no need to show her face in front of these small fries.
Fission also reduces activity time.
There’s no cost-effectiveness at all.
Ye Yao turned to look at Xia Lian, who had walked over to her side.
“I thought you would do it yourself?”
“These people aren’t worthy of my attention. Since Gu Wenxin needed it, I just let her have it.”
Gu Wenxin’s ability 【Slaying Evil】 requires slaying those with karma to maintain her inner peace.
Otherwise, continually suppressing it would only turn her into an extreme executioner.
Ye Yao knew this, but it didn’t stop her from slandering Xia Lian.
“Hmph, but when it came to me, you didn’t hesitate at all. You really are a professional cat abuser, aren’t you?”
“That’s slander!”
Ye Yao ignored Xia Lian’s 辯駁, feeling only the secret satisfaction of having won a round.
A mere cat-loving beautiful girl is still easily manipulated.
She then looked at Mu Luo.
“What if Sequence 096 isn’t here? His subordinate just warned him, won’t he have run away?”
To be honest, this move was a bit like beating the bush to startle the snake.
Mu Luo shook his head: “I did it on purpose.”
He knelt down, touched the ground with both hands, closed his eyes, and fully invested his mental power.
The next second.
Ye Yao instantly got goosebumps.
Because she felt unknown gazes everywhere in the darkness!
At the same time.
Within a hundred-mile radius, wherever there were shadows or dim places, it seemed as if something was wriggling.
Countless eyes seemed to open in the darkness, constantly scanning the surroundings, trying to find a target.
In a certain alley filled with neon lights and revelry.
The man clutching his phone trembled all over, his eyes bulging almost out of their sockets, already in a state of immense terror.
His home had been stolen!?
The violent fluctuation of his mental power made him like a bright lamp in the darkness.
The wriggling dark eyes successfully locked onto the target.
Mu Luo in the abandoned factory opened his eyes, waved his large hand, and took his companions away.
Only the four silent bodies remained, and the words “Sequence 0” left on the ground.
And Mu Luo’s action also completely alarmed another force.
The local National Extraordinary Disaster Countermeasures Bureau was dispatched.
“Traces of Sequence 012? He came to snatch someone? Let him come; I’ll make sure he never returns!!!”
