My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 43 - 41: Want a Smoke?

The sunset glow spilled through the gaps in the clouds.

The streets of Zone 17 were crowded with pedestrians.

A very ordinary black sedan was parked by the roadside.

Suddenly, the car door was pulled open with a "swish".

A man with a green tattoo on his neck and metal structures exposed on his face quickly slipped inside.

"Done?"

"Hmm... Here’s the stuff, Brother Hu, open it and take a look."

The tattooed man handed the heavy briefcase forward, giving it to another burly man in the passenger seat.

The other person eagerly opened the case, glanced inside, and couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

Stacks of cash filled the bottom of the case, and on top were five pieces of Black Gold shining with allure!

Gulp~

The three people inside the car simultaneously gulped, revealing greedy, intense eyes.

"That Li guy didn’t deceive me, hey, we’re rich!" Brother Hu licked his lips, then turned to look at the tattooed man, "Were your hands clean? You confirmed no survivors, right?"

"I... I shot her twice as soon as I entered, and she didn’t move after she fell."

His eyes flickered, he said, "I didn’t dare delay, found the case, and quickly left the scene..."

"I’m asking you if she’s dead or not!!"

Brother Hu’s rage erupted, his burly arm stretched out, grabbing his collar and yanking it, speaking harshly:

"You should’ve shot a few more rounds, what’s the rush!"

"Sorry, Brother Hu, I was too rash."

The tattooed man dared not defy at all, apologized in a low voice:

"I’ve hardly done this before, and she’s just a young girl. I felt a bit panicked after shooting... But she should be dead. If not dead, she fainted. With no one to save her, she’ll likely bleed to death soon."

"Idiot, either don’t do such things, or do them thoroughly, leaving no survivors!"

"Don’t say ’most likely’, I don’t like hearing that!"

Brother Hu cursed a couple of times, then said solemnly, "You’ve got twenty minutes, go back and confirm it again. If she’s still alive, send her off manually."

"Okay!" The tattooed man gritted his teeth, checked the silenced pistol in his coat, and then got out of the car.

The car door closed.

Brother Hu turned his head, looking at the slender man in the driver’s seat, instructed:

"Provide technical support just like before."

"Got it!"

He pulled a data cable from a portable computer and clicked the head of the wire into the brain interface at the back of his head.

Although 0C is a super AI managing city security, its computing power is limited, focusing primarily on the Inner City District and Underground City.

After all, the former is the city’s elite gathering spot, the power central hub, and the latter is the lifeline of Jinghai City, thus prioritized for protection.

The Outer City District is too large, too complex for complete oversight, and the regional network has many exploitable vulnerabilities.

He quickly hacked all the cameras on a small road around Shuiyun Stream District, giving an "OK" gesture.

Brother Hu checked the time, then advised, "I’ll return to the branch first, after handling things, come back yourselves."

They could only keep thirty percent of the money; the rest must be submitted to headquarters, which is the gang’s rule.

"Okay, safe travels, Brother Hu." The hacker nodded.

He opened the passenger door, took the money box, and got out of the car.

After walking a few steps, he got into another car nearby and quickly drove away from the site.

...

Shuiyun Stream District.

Lu Xun carrying a small stool, came to the guard room.

"Sir, here, returning your stool." He said with a broad smile, "I specifically bought an identical one."

"Oh, young man, I said you didn’t need to return it, why do you still remember this?"

The security guard’s face beamed, taking back the stool.

A moment of increased fondness for the young man.

"Sir, Li Xiaoning asked me to visit, didn’t she tell you?"

"Perhaps she forgot... No problem, go on in." The guard opened the complex’s electric gate.

"Thanks!"

Lu Xun waved and walked inside.

Once turned around, his smile instantly disappeared, and he quickened his pace.

Arriving at building 5, just as he prepared to climb the stairs, an elevator opened nearby with a "ding", and he stepped inside.

The elevator doors closed.

Inside were just the two of them.

"Which floor, brother? I’ll press for you." The other quite friendly asked with a smile.

"No need, I’m also going to the third floor, it’s pressed already." Lu Xun shook his head, smiling kindly.

"Oh, quite a coincidence... Actually, my friend lives here, I’m here to hang out."

"Is that so? Coincidentally, me too."

Ding!

Within two sentences, the elevator reached the third floor, doors opened.

The pair walked out side by side, moved in sync to the left, and then abruptly paused, sharply looking at each other.

"Seems like our friend is the same person, huh?" Lu Xun showed a half-smiling expression.

"Hmm, you know her too?" The tattooed man smiled brightly, reaching into his coat, "Brother, smoke?"

Bam!!

A residual shadow flashed before his eyes, accompanied by repeated "crack crack" sounds of neck vertebrae snapping.

In a split second, his head spun three and a half circles clockwise, twisting his neck into a braid, chin drooping onto his back.

The tattooed man’s face froze in disbelief.

Dead on the spot.

A silenced pistol fell out, landed on the ground.

Lu Xun expressionlessly retracted his fist, bent down, and picked up the gun.

The opponent’s poor acting was simply uncooperative.

Having analyzed thousands of books on "acting skills" before.

He sensed something wrong with the person upon entering the elevator, their facial micro-expressions were stiff, acting lousy.

But due to the elevator cameras, he didn’t hurry to act.

Anyway, for him, the other was just an ant, such a silenced pistol wasn’t even fit to scratch him!

"Smoke? Smoke your mother!"

His black pupils suddenly turned red, throwing a fireball at the corpse.

Whoosh~

The intense high temperature was contained within a defined range, the heat wave instantly cremating the body to ashes, not a bone fragment remained within seconds.

Then, he brought his blood-stained fist to his mouth, licking it.

Blood-Hunting Soul!

Ten seconds later, he learned everything he wanted to know.

Including the killer’s identity, his recent burglary, Brother Hu and the hacker’s locations... All were no longer secrets.

’A bunch of societal trash.’

Lu Xun snorted coldly and stepped to room 302’s door.

The lock was broken, he turned it and opened smoothly.

Walking inside, he immediately spotted the girl collapsed in a pool of blood at the kitchen door.

Bang!

He closed the door, quickly stepping forward.

Put down a medical box he brought.

Then knelt down, gently flipping Li Xiaoning over, reached out to pat her pale, bloodless cheek.

"Hey, wake up, can you hear me?"

No response.

Already passed out.

Heartbeat, breathing very weak, pupils dilated.

Already at the brink of dying!

If he arrived a little later, even if the killer didn’t return to finish the job, she would certainly be gone.

"Should still be in time..."

He extended his right hand, through analysis, quickly learned all secrets of her body.

The details of her two gunshot wounds understood perfectly.

Had a rescue plan in mind.

Having prepared a medical box and plasma... After all, having run an underground clinic before, he naturally had channels.

She was completely savable!!
