The rain suddenly became fierce.
As if the sky had torn open a huge hole, pouring down all the stored water of the world.
A vague thunder came from deep within the clouds, rumbling heavily.
It seemed to be sounding a suffocating overture for this isolated block.
The darkness was so thick it couldn’t be dispersed, engulfing the city lights in the misty vapor.
Cheng Leyi’s thin red strap dress was already soaked through, clinging to the curves of her shapely body.
Cold raindrops slid down her wet hair, across her cheeks.
Her eyes shone bright, a mix of fear and anticipation as she looked ahead.
A gigantic water sphere enveloped Lin Xuhao.
The blurry face inside occasionally appeared, staring fixedly at the shadowy corner.
A seductive woman, a man about to suffocate, and a liquid monster.
The three figures stood in the rain, forming an eerie and frozen picture.
"Who’s there? Hiding and lurking, what kind of skill is that?"
The transparent water figure stared into the depths of darkness, unable to resist questioning again.
The voice drifted through the rain, sounding especially distorted.
The darkness remained as silent as death.
As if everything that just happened was merely a figment of its hyperactive imagination.
Two faint but rhythmic footsteps sounded.
Next, a figure emerged as if peeled from the curtain of the rainy night.
The body’s silhouette shifted from blurry to clear.
Cheng Leyi’s pupils slightly contracted.
It was a man wearing a black raincoat, tall and upright.
Just standing there brought an invisible sense of oppression.
Raindrops fell from his hood, forming an intermittent curtain of water, covering most of his face.
Except for those eyes, which reflected two terrifying red lights in the thick darkness.
His steps moved neither fast nor slow, each one precisely treaded on the waterlogged road, the sound as clear as if striking directly at the heart.
Judging from this stable and mountain-like walking posture, Cheng Leyi could sense this person was strong.
Feeling the threat, the transparent figure’s voice turned sharp.
"If you take another step forward, I’ll kill him immediately!"
In the water sphere, Lin Xuhao struggled more violently, bubbles bursting from his mouth.
The shadow figure cooperated, stopping their steps, standing about ten meters away.
The transparent figure noticed and its gaze flickered:
"Late at night, with such a heavy rain, why did you come here? Are you reinforcements from the Special Search Team?"
The figure finally spoke, shaking its head slowly.
The voice was as low as if soaked in rainwater, carrying a trace of cold.
Upon hearing this, the transparent figure seemed relieved.
However, the next sentence made its liquid body violently oscillate.
"I came specifically for you, Scorpion."
As they spoke, a killing intent colder than the rain spread without warning.
Upon hearing this name, the transparent figure was clearly stunned.
The water sphere enveloping Lin Xuhao also trembled sharply.
A pale lightning ruthlessly tore through the night sky, illuminating everything as bright as day for an instant.
It was at this moment that Cheng Leyi finally saw the visitor’s full appearance.
A pure white stone mask, with sinister lines, as if an evil ghost from Hell.
And where the eyes were, two glowing rubies were embedded, emitting ominous blood-colored light.
Cheng Leyi’s heart shook, thinking of a codename deeply buried in the Special Search Team’s confidential files that suddenly sprang into her mind.
The legendary Demon King, feared by countless people!
In the past, they exhausted much effort trying to track his whereabouts in East Capital, but ultimately found nothing.
Unexpectedly, as she and her companions stood at death’s door.
This figure, more dangerous than any enemy, appeared before her like fate’s cruel jest.
At this moment, she faced a hungry wolf behind and a fierce tiger ahead.
The wind grew colder, driving the raindrops against her exposed shoulders and thighs, chilling her to the bone.
Cheng Leyi instinctively hugged her arms tight, shivering.
The transparent figure, no, it should be called Scorpion.
After a brief silence, it seemed to regain its calm.
"Do I have a grudge against you?"
Scorpion suddenly asked.
Fang Cheng shook his head again, locking his sight on the liquid monster with indifference:
"I just simply don’t like you."
This outrageously arrogant remark left Scorpion silent again.
After a moment, it suddenly let out a strange laugh, its tone becoming soothing.
"Friend, since there’s no resentment, why fight each other?"
"Look, this Special Search Team’s female officer has such a great figure. If you help me deal with them, I’ll let you have fun with her, what do you say?"
Cheng Leyi’s heart jumped, about to curse out loud.
But she saw Scorpion speaking while secretly launching an attack!
The murky puddle on the ground seemed to come alive, transforming into dozens of silent scorpions, snaking along the ground toward Fang Cheng’s position.
As they were almost upon him, Scorpion let out a neurotic scream.
The water snakes suddenly surged, weaving into a dense net, violently attacking the spot where Fang Cheng originally stood!
