Translator: 549690339
In the mountain forest, Shen Ziming squatted down in front of Chen Sheng.
Right above their heads, the sky rumbled with muffled thunder from time to time.
It was going to rain.
โIf I am not mistaken, someone must have called the police just now.โ โThe nearest police station would take about half an hour to respond.โ
โOnce the police officers arrive, they will deduce our identities as Qi-sensors based on the traces of destruction at the scene.โ
โThen they will inform the Wuโan Bureau and start questioning households one by one.โ
Saying this,
Shen Ziming adjusted the gold -framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and took a look at his phone. Afterwards,
He looked at Chen Sheng.
Hidden behind the glasses, his pupils were as calm as the depths of an ancient well.
It was as if he had not just killed a man, but rather a chicken.
โWe are in luck, itโs going to rain soon, which will save us a lot of trouble.โ
โYou have fifteen minutes to get back home and clean up any traces on your body.โ
โOther than your trip here, tell the truth about everything else.โ โThe more lies you tell, the more flaws there will be. Keep it in mind.โ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐ท๐ฏโด๐ท๐๐.๐โด๐
While speaking,
Shen Ziming held Chen Shengโs head with one hand and pressed his nose with two fingers. novelbuddy.c om
โEndure it.โ
Crack!
Chen Shengโs nose was reset.
โYour injuries are not serious for a Qi-sensor, donโt go to the hospital. They might investigate the records.โ
โJust stay at home and recover for a couple of days.โ
Chen Sheng leaned against the tree trunk, listening to Shen Zimingโs words.
His gaze, however, rested on the pig-faced man lying nearby.
Fresh blood continuously flowed from the manโs neck into the ground like a small stream.
His lifeless eyes still held the emotions from his final moments.
Unwillingness, anger, and disbelief were all mixed together.
He had killed someone.
Chen Sheng suddenly realized this fact.
In his past twenty-five years of life, he had never thought this kind of thing would happen to him.
Snuffing out a life with his own hands.
He should be afraid.
Or perhaps terrified.
But strangely,
Chen Shengโs heart was filled with unprecedented calmness.
Within this calmness, there was a hint of an unusual emotion.
It seemed to beโHiss-โ
The sudden pain in his arm made Chen Sheng gasp for air.
At the same time, it brought him back to reality. Shen Ziming had also reset the bone in his arm.
โYou seem quite familiar with killing.โ
Chen Sheng looked at Shen Ziming.
The two of them had been through life and death together, but they hardly knew each other.
โWith more experience, it naturally becomes familiar.โ Shen Ziming lowered his head and answered nonchalantly.
He paused for a moment then added,
โBut I only killed those who deserved to die.โ
โWho sets the boundary?โ
โI do.โ
โAlright.โ
During their conversation,
Shen Ziming helped Chen Sheng to his feet. โLeave the rest to me. You go back first and donโt let anyone find any flaws.โ
Chen Sheng did not leave immediately.
He hesitated while looking at Shen Ziming, opening his mouth.
What is it like to be a Qi-sensor?
Why are some similar to ordinary people, while others treat human life like dirt?
What were the pig-faced man and his organization up to?
What were they looking for?
And how did Shen Ziming end up where he is today?
Chen Shengโs heart was filled with many doubts.
m me ena,
He asked the most pressing question on his mind.
โDo you Qi-sensors become indifferent to life after killing too many people, developing the illusion of being above everyone else?โ
Hearing this,
Shen Ziming laughed.
He seemed to see through Chen Shengโs doubts. โYou speak as if you are not a Qi-sensor yourself.โ โHowever, your words are not accurate.โ
โBeing above everyone else is not an illusion, but rather a fact.โ
โWe, who possess great power, can do things that many cannot or dare not do.โ
As he spoke,
The indifference in Shen Zimingโs eyes made Chen Sheng feel quite unfamiliar.
But immediately after,
He changed the subject.
โHowever, within these things, there are both good and bad deeds.โ
โWhat deeds can be done, and what cannot.โ โWho should be killed, and who should not.โ Shen Ziming pointed at his heart.
โHow exactly to do it and make the choice is up to you.โ
As Shen Zimingโs words fell.
Drip.
A raindrop fell from above, hitting Chen Shengโs nose.
It seemed to be telling him that time was running out.
He took a deep look at Shen Ziming before turning around and walking towards the riverside.
โI appreciate the fruits and chocolate you gave me, but we donโt have any relationship anymore.โ
Before leaving, Chen Sheng waved his hand, seemingly wanting to draw a clear line between himself and Shen Ziming.
He didnโt know why he had impulsively decided to save Shen Ziming.
Maybe it was because he thought Shen was a good person and didnโt deserve to die.
Or perhaps it was because of the gifts.
In any case,
The two now have nothing to do with each other.
These messy things, Chen Sheng didnโt want to get involved anymore.
He went to the riverbank, picked up the kitchen knife and flashlight he had thrown away, and prepared to leave.
โBrother Chen.โ
But just after taking a few steps, he was stopped again by Shen Ziming.
โI said, I owe you my life.โ โIn a couple of days, Iโll give you a big gift.โ
Chen Sheng was taken aback.
โWhat kind of gift?โ
Whoosh!
The pouring rain came down upon their heads.
The sound of the rain filled the entire world in an instant.
Chen Sheng could only see Shen Zimingโs mouth moving up and down.
But he couldnโt hear what was actually being said.
Afterward,
Shen Ziming ignored him and began to search the pig-faced manโs body.
Only twelve minutes left.
He didnโt hesitate any longer and turned around to run towards home.
As Chen Sheng moved forward,
The pouring rain washed away all traces of him behind.
After ten minutes,
Chen Sheng arrived home safely.
He immediately sent a WeChat message to Li Chenghu, recounting the events of the night.
As Shen Ziming said, he told the truth about ninety percent of the situation.
He just omitted the part where he chased after Shen Ziming after his escape.
After sending the message, Li Chenghu didnโt reply immediately.
Chen Sheng took off all his clothes and threw them into the washing machine.
Wearing just a pair of underwear, he cleaned up the mud and water stains he had brought in when he entered the house.
After doing all this,
He went into the bathroom to wash the blood stains off his body.
Chen Sheng looked at himself in the mirror.
Every muscle on his body was sharp and evenly distributed in every corner.
Nowadays, walking in the gym, no one would think he was a beginner who had only been training for less than two weeks.
โHissโโ
Water flowed over the wound, causing Chen Sheng to grit his teeth in pain.
Although his hand only appeared bruised and swollen from the surface, Only Chen Sheng knew.
Every attack from the pig-faced man had hidden energy seeping into his body.
Now, whenever he moved slightly, there would be a needle-like pain at the wound site.
This was only because the pig-faced manโs attack power was greatly reduced due to Chen Shengโs ambush.
If it were the pig-faced manโs heyday, Chen Sheng didnโt think he would survive. โHidden energy warrior, huhโฆโ
โSo strong.โ
Chen Sheng murmured to himself.
Water covered his body, mixing with blood as it slowly flowed into the sewer.
When Chen Sheng stepped out of the bathroom, he immediately put on a sweater to cover his injuries.
At this moment,
Except for the red, swollen, and bloodshot nose, there were no other signs exposed.
โAnyone there?โ
Just at this moment, a knock sounded at the front door of the house downstairs.
He took a deep breath, calming his slightly accelerated heartbeat.
Then,
He picked up an umbrella and went downstairs.
Opening the door, there were two police officers standing outside. Due to the rain and the darkness of the night,
The officers shone a flashlight at Chen Sheng to see his face clearly.
โWhatโs your name?โ โChen Sheng?โ
โWhat happened to your face?โ
โHave you had any contact with your new neighbor?โ
โYes, his name is Xu Ziwen, and heโs from the nearby schoolโฆโ
โIโve already told Captain Li Chenghu from the Wuโan Bureau about what happened tonight, you can verify it.โ
โIโm his apprentice.โ
Chen Shengโs words were mostly true.
And he subtly mentioned Li Chenghu.
After observing the house without finding any clues, the two officers left and went to the next household..
