Chapter 709 -609: Get Pumped and Party On~

After the door opened, a deafening cacophony of electro beats suddenly flooded in, along with a mess of shouting and banging sounds, creating a strange melody intertwined in the chaos of the bar.

There was music, but no lights.

When the door opened, the hinge made an unavoidable grinding noise, but after it was open, not a hint of footsteps could be heard.

Xu Shuo stood beside the desk, his gaze coldly fixed on the figure who thought he was well hidden, slowly approaching.

In the pitch-black surroundings, he also noticed that Jenny’s eyes were unusually bright; compared to ordinary people’s eyes, Jenny’s seemed to emit a dim glow in the darkness.

And this insignificant light, like sparks in the dark, was exceedingly conspicuous.

...

It was as if it gave that person a beacon to find their direction.

Suddenly, the person stopped two meters away, their breathing almost inaudible, standing silent and unmoving.

It was obvious.

In the dark, whoever made a sound first would become the first target to be attacked!

Just then, Jenny curiously asked out loud, “Who are you?”

No sooner had the words fallen than there came no response.

Even in such darkness, Jenny’s vision seemed unaffected.

The object of her inquiry was likely the person who had walked in, as Xu Shuo saw the figure’s body tense up with her question.

“Are they dancing outside? I want to dance too,” Jenny suddenly said.

But still, no one responded to her.

At that moment, Jenny turned to look at Xu Shuo, her eyes shining like stars: “If we’re not drinking, then I’ll go dance outside.”

The next instant a faint whooshing sound filled the air, and Jenny, standing beside Xu Shuo, tilted her head slightly.

Whoosh!

Xu Shuo caught a dagger that had been aimed at them, and at that moment, Jenny suddenly stepped forward, accurately grabbing hold of the rushing figure.

“…!”

The person seemed startled by Jenny’s action.

He tried to break free, but Xu Shuo was already upon him, his large hand even more precisely gripping the intruder’s neck!

Bang!

Xu Shuo, clutching the man’s neck, hoisted him and slammed him forcefully onto the desk, the collision of head and wood creating a satisfying sound.

Up close, Xu Shuo could finally see that the man’s face was covered with a black cloth that obscured the entire head, and he was wearing a police officer’s coat.

The man, dazed from the blow, still managed to flip out a pistol, pressing its barrel against Xu Shuo’s waist.

“Bang!”

A loud noise erupted.

The gun fired upwards into the ceiling, with Jenny holding the scalding barrel in her bare hands, her face still wearing a faint smile, showing no sign of being burned.

And in that moment, Xu Shuo quickly let go of him and sidestepped the gunshot.

“Jenny…”

The masked person spoke in a low, hoarse voice, as if deliberately modulated, heavy and muffled: “Jenny, please go home.”

As the words ended, Jenny, still clutching the barrel, looked momentarily surprised.

Then she let go, her smile fading somewhat, and said in a clear, cold voice, “I’m tired from playing today; it’s time to go home and rest.”

After speaking, Jenny walked out without looking back, showing not the slightest hint of reluctance or farewell.

Xu Shuo blinked, silently watching her leave.

But in the next moment, Xu Shuo abruptly reached out and caught the masked person trying to slip away, his hand traveling along the arm to the pistol.

The masked individual kicked at him while pulling the trigger.

“Bang!”

Another gunshot rang out.

The strong smell of gunpowder smoke filled the small office, and the close-quarters struggle between the two was heart-stopping!

As Xu Shuo attacked with the dagger in his left hand, he kicked back at the foot lashing out at him and simultaneously grabbed the gunman’s wrist, moving the barrel away while his finger found the trigger.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of gunshots rang out, and this time it was Xu Shuo who pulled the trigger.

The firearm spanned between the two, spewing bullets indifferently, sending the masked intruder into a panic.

At the same time, the gleaming dagger lunged for his throat. The masked intruder hastily blocked the hand wielding the dagger with his right hand but couldn’t stop the overwhelming force pressing down.

All he could do was to step back hurriedly. In his rush, he started to lose his balance.

And so his whole movement became disordered. The firearm, having been fired several times, was snatched away by Xu Shuo, and the sharp blade of the dagger cornered the masked man.

In the darkness, the masked intruder was sweating profusely.

And the dagger that he had initially thrown was now pressed against his throat.

An icy and dominant aura washed over him. The tall figure completely enveloped him like an impenetrable wall of iron!

It was only at this moment that the masked man realized what kind of opponent he was facing.

He was utterly powerless to fight back!

After a moment, a sneer sounded in the darkness, and the dagger against his throat gently stirred.

“Who taught you to play with electricity, huh?”

The masked intruder’s right hand was still clutching at the wrist holding the dagger, his arm trembling slightly as he tried to push the blade away from his throat, but he couldn’t budge it at all.

Then, the barrel of a gun suddenly pressed against his waist, just as he had previously pressed the firearm against Inspector Berrod’s waist.

But now the situation had completely reversed.

The weapons he had brought were now bringing him danger.

Grunting, the masked man said in a lowered voice, “It wasn’t me who tampered with the circuit breaker; I don’t know anything…”

“Bang!”

The next moment, a gunshot rang out without warning.

The masked intruder let out a painful scream, not expecting this man to shoot without any sign mid-interrogation, almost like a madman.

The ammunition grazed his waist and the dense barrage of shrapnel blasted a fist-sized wound, with blood gushing instantaneously.

As soon as Xu Shuo released his grip, the masked intruder bent over in spasms of pain, the stench of blood spreading in the darkness.

Then the firearm was once again aimed at his head.

In desperation, the masked man’s voice lost its disguise, “Wait! I… I’ve got some clues about the poisoning case; I can tell you…”

“Bang!”

Before he could finish speaking, the gunfire burst forth again.

Once more, the masked man screamed in agony as the gunshot pierced his right calf, and he collapsed to the ground, drained of strength.

“Stay here.”

Having said this calmly, Xu Shuo turned and walked out of the office.

…

Once in the hallway, faint sounds of raucous revelry from the direction of the bar’s main hall could be heard, set to the pulse-pounding rhythm that made the night seem especially wild.

Xu Shuo’s expression was stoic as he strode toward the main hall, a veritable deity of destruction emerging slowly in the dark corridor.

He glanced towards the bar’s entrance.

The door had been shut, and it seemed that there were still a few dozen people inside: officers from the Luona District Police Station, bar servers, patrons, and some eccentric figures all muddled together.

This was a chaotic melee.

But most people didn’t know whom they were fighting; everyone was panicked, shoving anyone they encountered in the dark and running at the sight of an escape route.

Stumbling and bumping into each other, creating a cacophony of noises.

Xu Shuo glanced at his terminal communicator as he walked and, after replying to a message, was already stepping into the main hall.

Suddenly, Xu Shuo caught a flash of silver light.

He immediately looked towards the dance floor, where he saw two figures struggling together, the fleeting silver glow coming from one of them.

Xu Shuo sensed a ripple of energy.

—But that seemed like a spell, didn’t it?
