Dealing with a cowardly Camp mber seed like no problem at all for these destructive mbers… Even the Youth’s tone was indifferent, only showing a slight change when Ling Mo was ntioned…
“Knowing full well that leaving survivors would expose information, he still did it…” the Youth mused, “Perhaps that’s why his secret was discovered by Chief of Staff Wang? Rather than using their lives to blackmail Yuwen Xuan, Wang is more interested in the secret he carries…”
However, just as he stepped out of the door, the Youth suddenly ca to a halt. His gaze slowly swept over the dark, long Corridor, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease…
The Corridor was silent, with not a soul in sight…
That unsettling feeling was suddenly magnified, and he vaguely felt as though there were hidden eyes watching him from the shadows.
“Sothing… doesn’t seem right…” the Youth thought for a mont with his head lowered, then abruptly turned to look at the bald guy’s corpse.
“No, it’s not the corpse that’s strange. His behavior earlier didn’t show any suspicious signs… At least at the mont of his death, I didn’t notice anything wrong. So…”
The real cause of this feeling must be related to so detail associated with it… There’s sothing he noticed, but didn’t take seriously… It was a vague sense, but once perceived, it beca difficult to ignore…
“Bald guy, specialty is as an explosive ordnance disposal team mber… It can’t possibly be related to his baldness, so it must be the latter. The explosive ordnance disposal team… Could it be bombs? But only specific places in this building have explosives set up. Even if they were all detonated, it wouldn’t completely destroy this place. Furthermore, from a ti perspective, they couldn’t have set up new bombs… So, what is it?”
“What is the source of this discomfort…”
At that mont, the Youth suddenly froze…
He had figured it out!
“Ah!”
A scream suddenly erged from behind, sounding bizarre as if it was just issued from the throat and then abruptly cut off… Imdiately followed by a thud, and when the Youth hurriedly turned around, another person was lying on the floor of the room.
Blood was gushing out from this person’s abdon, while another individual standing beside him held a blood-stained dagger. Blood dripped down rapidly, forming a pool at his feet… His face was ashen, and his expression terrified. It took him several seconds to snap out of it, and the dagger dropped from his hand with a clang.
“Vice Captain Xie…” The standing one was the Team mber who just killed the bald guy, and the stabbed one was another mber of the destructive team…
The Team mber who acted seed sowhat unsteady, slowly retreating as his gaze darted back and forth between the fallen comrade and the Youth, nervously saying, “No, I didn’t an to… I… It wasn’t him that I wanted to kill…” As he explained, his hand slowly reached for his waist.
His forehead was already beaded with cold sweat, and his expression was quite complex. It was an eerie situation, but regardless, he had already killed soone… Although the other person was still convulsing on the floor, the amount of blood lost indicated that survival was impossible…
“Vice Captain Xie, you know I’d never harm a teammate, you know that…” The Team mber’s eyes showed a hint of fierceness, and his hand had already gripped a cold knife handle at his waist… If the Youth refused to believe him, then he would have no choice but to…
“What did you see?” the Youth suddenly asked. In just a few breaths’ ti, he had cald down from his initial shock.
Indeed, that unsettling feeling was no illusion, though he hadn’t expected it to manifest in such a way…
The Team mber raised his head, his peripheral gaze falling on the corpse, as he suddenly took a deep breath, his face turning horrified: “It… it just… moved…”
“Be more specific,” the Youth’s expression seed to grow sowhat grim…
“As I was about to walk out, I saw him smile at …” The Team mber’s expression looked as if he’d seen a ghost, and his voice seed eerie in the darkness… R̃
“I thought I was seeing things, so I casually glanced back. But as soon as I turned my head, I found he was gone… A heart shredded to pieces, yet moving freely-is that even possible?! I was startled, imdiately turning towards the door, but to my shock… he appeared behind ! I had just turned and was face-to-face with him… and he was smiling, asking , ‘What’s wrong with you?’”
The Team mber’s voice began to shake as he continued, “While he was speaking, blood was gushing from his wound and mouth. How could he be alive in that state? So I… acted instinctively! But who would have known… after being stabbed, he turned… into this…” He panted heavily and suddenly shouted, “Vice Captain Xie! I truly didn’t an it! You have to believe !”
The Youth looked down at the Team mber lying on the floor, muttering, “No, the problem isn’t with him…” He then looked up at the still shouting Team mber and abruptly interrupted, “You…”
“Who exactly are you?”
…
In the dimly lit room, a tallic scent of blood slowly perated the air…
With the Youth’s question, the atmosphere in the room suddenly beca sowhat tense.
The Team mber was taken aback, awkwardly laughing after a while, and asked, “Vice Captain Xie, what do you an by that? Of course, I am who I am, who else could I be…” Then suddenly, as if realizing sothing, he said, “Do you think there’s sothing wrong with ntally? No, I just… maybe I just had a hallucination…”
“It’s not a hallucination. There’s no residual ntal energy here.” The Youth took a slow step forward, his expression turning serious, one hand slowly opening, “The only abnormality, is you…”
The Team mber instantly felt an invisible pressure, causing him to involuntarily step back, saying, “I don’t understand what you an…”
“More precisely, your thoughts have been altered by sothing else.” The Youth’s gaze shifted slightly upward, and then he raised his hand, focusing on the Team mber’s head. “In your psychic realm, there’s sothing foreign…”
He pointed at the Team mber’s forehead, his eyes flashing briefly before turning sharp: “But just that alone isn’t too troubleso…”
“No… Vice Captain Xie…” the Team mber said in terror as he suddenly drew the knife from his waist. He widened his eyes, staring at the Youth’s finger, and suddenly shouted, “Xie Wensu! Do you really think I’m afraid of you? Using your superpower on is no different than killing !”
With that, he raised the knife, his muscles instantly tensing all over.
However, just as he took a step forward to charge, the Youth’s finger swiftly pressed downward.
In an instant, the charging Team mber appeared montarily confused. He lost his balance and stumbled forward, but the Youth deftly sidestepped him.
“The real problem lies with these survivors… He left them behind so we would interrogate them. When all our attention was focused on the bald guy, that was the mont he made his move!” The Youth’s palm rested firmly on the back of the Team mber’s Hindbrain, and as his eyes flickered, the Team mber’s body began to convulse…
“But, how exactly did he manage to do it…”
Just then, the Youth’s peripheral vision caught sothing behind him.
That familiar feeling of being watched returned, like an icy needle piercing into his back.
Though he didn’t turn around, the Youth was certain that there was sothing lurking in the shadow behind the door…
