A dirty, messy room filled with the smell of alcohol.
Chang Tiger held a bloodstained cleaver, looking down condescendingly at the writhing flesh strip “father.”
“Please, spare, me.”
The flesh strip coalesced into two eerie eyeballs, pleading in an extremely discordant tone.
Chang Tiger observed for a moment: “You must parasitize the head?”
“No, as long as, blood, circulates.” The parasitic organism, for survival, didn’t dare to lie.
Chang Tiger nodded, lifted the cleaver, and directly chopped off his own left hand.
The pain didn’t make him scream; he didn’t even furrow his brow.
He extended his bare left wrist: “If you don’t want to die, come here.”
“Chang Tiger will become an excellent death fighter; he’s born for this.”
Ever since entering deathmatch school, every teacher who taught him gave him high evaluations.
Because in every practical simulation, he always ranked at the top.
But he wasn’t some simple-minded, muscle-bound brute either.
His mind was equally sharp; he knew exactly what he needed to do and would absolutely not stubbornly persist when it was time to give up.
These qualities alone were enough to support him becoming an excellent death fighter.
But Chang Tiger’s excellence went beyond that.
His nature was ruthless enough.
Not just ruthless to others, but to himself as well.
Ruthless and merciless isn’t a compliment for ordinary people, but for a death fighter, it fits perfectly.
……
Open-air food stall.
Suddenly, someone flipped a table, instantly drawing the diners’ attention.
Perhaps someone had drunk too much and couldn’t help cheering at the conflict happening here.
Chang Shun Ge’s face was ashen; he had no mood to care about the onlookers right now, his eyes fixed tightly on Chang Tiger.
Although he had some guesses about Chang Tiger’s identity, he really hadn’t expected this death fighter to dare make a move in public.
After all, everyone had gold level abilities.
If they really fought, the commotion wouldn’t be small.
What was he after?
That pure smile was still hiding in the apartment and hadn’t come out.
Chang Tiger seemed unaware of this; he grinned: “It’s better for some trash to exit the stage early.”
……
Duplex apartment building.
The living room had no lights on; Lu Bai lay on the sofa.
Even with some street neon lights filtering through the glass windows, visibility in the entire living room was still low.
After all, separated by a street, he hadn’t heard the commotion from the open-air food stall and was relaxing, enjoying the rare quiet.
Unfortunately, someone wouldn’t let him rest like this forever.
Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
The knocking was slow and leisurely, as if unsure whether the room was the right one.
Here came the first death fighter to visit.
Lu Bai didn’t think it could be anything else.
He stretched lazily and stood up from the sofa.
“Time to get to work.”
Click~
The sound of the door bolt opening was very clear.
The knocker surely wouldn’t miss it.
Lu Bai realized the other party seemed planning a sudden attack, so he simply gave them the opportunity.
He pushed the house door open proactively; no one was at the entrance.
The next second, a sharp dagger stabbed from the side of the doorframe.
The attacker’s appearance also came into Lu Bai’s view.
Male, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a build that looked somewhat like a sports student.
“Actually, I think you didn’t have to rush into attacking like this.”
Lu Bai didn’t even use flash time; he just stepped back and dodged the sneak attack.
Instead of advancing, he retreated directly into the living room.
He looked at the male sports student standing in the entrance hall and smiled mildly: “If it were in the corridor, dealing with the corpse would be troublesome.”
“As expected of someone who obtained a title; you’re really confident.”
The sports student spat on the ground.
Just as Lu Bai was about to speak, he suddenly saw the dagger in the sports student’s hand extend.
[One Inch Long, One Inch Strong (Gold): Using this ability allows the held weapon to extend at the speed of sound, limited to cold weapons; extension length depends on the user’s physical strength.]
In Lu Bai’s view, almost in an instant, the blade tip was about to pierce his heart.
Fortunately, he had never forgotten that death fighters possessed gold level abilities and hadn’t relaxed his vigilance; flash time activated like a conditioned reflex.
No matter how fast the extension, it couldn’t outpace time.
With a 0.5-second buffer, he nimbly sidestepped to dodge.
The originally confident strike was dodged by the opponent as if frame-skipping, catching the sports student off guard.
But Lu Bai had no intention of giving the other party time to react.
He extended his right hand in an empty grip: “Shoot him, Long Fang.”
Pfft~
Long Fang, appearing out of thin air in Lu Bai’s hand, instantly pierced the sports student’s throat, rendering him voiceless on the spot.
The blade length was indeed exaggerated; in such a narrow space, it was utterly indefensible.
[Ding!]
[Points +2, current points: 38, current rank 1/165]
Lu Bai walked over to close the house door; passing the sports student’s corpse, he hesitated a moment, then reached out and dragged it into the living room.
His tone carried some anticipation: “I wonder how many people will come knocking tonight?”
……
Jiangyu City First People’s Hospital.
A black compact sedan was parked in the underground parking lot, the mayor’s secretary’s hands resting on the steering wheel.
Since the car wasn’t started, the interior was pitch black.
He looked around and, confirming no one nearby was paying attention, asked in a low voice: “The thing?”
Hearing this, the man in the back seat reached out and handed over a USB drive.
“It’s all in here.”
The mayor’s secretary took the USB drive and relaxed considerably.
“Is this confirmed evidence of Lu Bai colluding with parasitic organisms and killing innocent citizens?”
“Of course; I wouldn’t dare fool you.”
“Heh, pleasant cooperation then; if the content is correct, money will soon hit your account.”
“Uh, no rush on that.”
After completing the transaction, the man in the back seat immediately opened the car door and left.
If Lu Bai were here, he would recognize this back-seat man as the caregiver brother.
He hadn’t lied to Lu Bai; he really was a tourist.
He didn’t think a death fighter with a title would let points that reached his mouth slip away; the reason for sparing his life was, in his view, just planning to deal with him later.
But even so, he was actually quite grateful to Lu Bai and wouldn’t actively backstab him.
This wasn’t his intention……
The elegant man who had sat silently in the passenger seat the whole time rolled down the window.
He pulled a pistol with a silencer from his bosom, aimed at the caregiver brother, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The mayor’s secretary started the car, shifted gears, and accelerated while remarking: “You humans are truly strange.”
The elegant man took out a handkerchief to wipe the gunpowder smell from his fingers.
“Kindred killing each other—such things are hard to avoid.”
Got lost in reading a novel…… forgot to write, that’s it for today, good night everyone
