Vermilion Bird was startled and then laughed out loud, "Miss Qin actually knows about the Shi Organization? Indeed, I am Vermilion Bird from the Shi Organization."
Qin Qin’s expression was cold. It was this Shi Organization again. They had tried to assassinate Mo Yunchen and her in the past, and now another Vermilion Bird had come. She could feel that this Vermilion Bird was even more formidable than the Tianshi group that had chased them, those who were simply stronger in martial power and used handguns. This Vermilion Bird in front of her possessed a spiritual power that she couldn’t see through, extremely powerful. Although she couldn’t see who this Vermilion Bird truly was, she could use her ghost eyes to see the objects on her person. There were no guns or knives. Did this Vermilion Bird underestimate her, or were they simply so formidable that they didn’t need such things?
"Who wants to kill me?!" Qin Qin asked coldly. Her mind raced through some people, finally resting on the image of Jing Zhimei. So far, only Jing Zhimei would have the urge to kill her. It seemed she could hardly wait.
However, according to the information she had gathered, there was no one so powerful under Jing Zhimei’s command. So, the boss Vermilion Bird mentioned was not Jing Zhimei. Then who was this mysterious boss?
The car had been driving for an hour, leaving Jingdu City and arriving at a remote suburb far from the city, where human traces were rare.
The taxi stopped in a place overgrown with weeds. Right after stopping, two or three men burst out from the bushes.
"Qin Qin, I feel like I have no strength at all," said Gan Tiantian, leaning on Qin Qin with a weak voice.
Qin Qin’s eyebrows furrowed. Only then did she realize that something was off inside the taxi. There was a barely perceptible scent, an odorless and colorless Soft Muscle Powder.
Only Jing Zhimei could make such a thing. Damn it, she had been careless, focusing only on the female assassin and neglecting the oddity in the car.
Because of her Marrow-Cleansing Technique, as long as she didn’t ingest it, smelling it for a short while wouldn’t have much effect on her, so she didn’t feel anything wrong with her body, which caused her to overlook these things.
"It’s nothing, don’t worry." She wouldn’t let anything happen to Gan Tiantian, she definitely wouldn’t.
The Vermilion Bird, who had taken the Antidote, got out of the car, "Come out, Miss Qin."
The back door was forcibly opened, and one assassin dragged Gan Tiantian out while another reached for Qin Qin but was swatted away.
Qin Qin walked up to Vermilion Bird, her expression dark, looking at Gan Tiantian held by the assassin, "What exactly do you want to do? Did Jing Zhimei want you to kill me?"
"Miss Qin is very smart, but smart people usually don’t have good endings," laughed Vermilion Bird.
"Let go of my friend," Qin Qin’s piercing gaze shot toward Vermilion Bird.
"Maybe I’ll consider releasing your friend after you die," Vermilion Bird smiled coldly, with a hooked lip.
Qin Qin narrowed her eyes at the triumphant Vermilion Bird, her gaze casually sweeping over the three assassins holding Gan Tiantian. With her hand hanging at her side, several Silver Needles shot out with lightning speed, striking the bodies and hands of the three assassins with precision.
The three assassins cried out in pain. Qin Qin took advantage of the chaos, moving swiftly to snatch Gan Tiantian from the grasp of the assassin holding her, "Run to the taxi and leave this place quickly."
Qin Qin pushed Gan Tiantian beside the taxi and viciously kicked the three assassins who rushed over. They had not expected Qin Qin to be so skilled and were knocked to the ground.
Gan Tiantian hesitated no longer and got into the taxi, "Qin Qin, hurry up and get in."
As Qin Qin kicked down the three assassins coming at her again and was about to grab the car door handle, a sharp pain shot through her head.
Vermilion Bird, who had not made a move until now, finally did. She stood still with a smile on her lips, eyes slightly narrowed, an invisible force invading Qin Qin’s mind, causing her such discomfort that she let go of the car door handle, grabbed her hair with her right hand, and turned to look back at Vermilion Bird behind her, "You..."
What kind of ability was this? It felt like countless invisible threads were entwining around her head, continuously twisting and tightening, causing her so much pain that she wanted to roll on the ground, her whole body feeling drained, and cold sweat breaking out on her forehead within moments.
"It seems I underestimated you, I didn’t expect you to be so skilled," said Vermilion Bird slowly as she approached Qin Qin. Her ability was unique, could be called a Special Ability. Abandoned by her parents from a young age and bullied by everyone in the orphanage, her heart was filled with hatred and rage. Later, she discovered that as long as she focused her spiritual power on someone she disliked, that person’s head would hurt, and if she was powerful enough, she could even drive someone insane, completely insane. A few years ago, she joined the Shi Organization as one of their ace assassins, killing countless people with her murderous spiritual power.
