Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend Chapter 987 987: Alone

'Creak.'

This is the third ti Ling Xue has pushed open Li Kuo's door.

Night has fallen, yet he is still rapidly typing on the keyboard, his eyes filled with fatigue, but he has persistently worked without eating or drinking for more than six hours.

It should be nearly done by now...

Ling Xue carried the freshly heated noodles back out, gently closing the door.

Without a word, she silently watches him, hoping that when he's done, he can have a bite of hot food.

anwhile, equally exhausted is Mukai Ryuzi.

Every ti it seems like he's about to break through, Li Kuo foils his efforts again.

Repeated failures have made Muto and others disappointed in him.

"Alright, Mukai, stop."

"No, I must break through his defenses."

Facing Muto's command, Mukai Ryuzi shows no awareness; given his personality, he probably wouldn't give up even if he had to fight the whole night.

However, Muto is the highest-ranking officer here, and how can his orders not be followed?

In a delayed reaction, Mukai slowly turns his head to look at Muto.

A hint of apology in his eyes: "Sorry, just let try one last ti."

"Then one last ti." Muto is a person who loves talent, knowing so geniuses have peculiar habits, so he usually treats them leniently.

"Hey, I guess there'll still be no result. I'll eat first, are you guys coming or not."

At this mont, one of Muto's junior disciples couldn't wait any longer.

Originally, they ca to witness this data being revealed in Japan, but unexpectedly, they waited in vain.

"Let's wait a bit longer; we can eat together later." Anyway, having waited this long, the other junior disciple didn't mind waiting a little longer.

"Tsk, I'll go eat first, you guys can keep waiting."

Waiting here makes no difference, better to eat and then go ho to sleep.

After tonight, regardless of whether the data is unlocked, tomorrow they will head back ho.

Eat well, sleep well, go ho, leave this godforsaken place, who cares about data.

Yet, this person who left alone didn't know he had already been heavily targeted by a pair of eyes.

Yes, the person watching him was Xiaofan.

To Xiaofan, the biggest threats on the island are Muto and his three disciples.

Xiaofan isn't afraid to face Muto alone, but if the four of them team up on this island, there's no escape.

Now, finally the chance has co to catch soone alone, Xiaofan won't let such an opportunity slip by.

Hidden in the darkness, Xiaofan slowly follows him.

Just waiting to make a move where no one can see.

Muto's junior disciple is completely unaware; who could guess, the once fleeing Ye Xiaofan is now on this island?

'Rustle...'

A strange sound reaches the elderly man humming a tune on his way to the canteen, causing him to halt, close his mouth.

He turns, looks behind him...

No one... Did he hear wrong?

The sea breeze is strong, maybe hearing wrong isn't unusual. Didn't his brother Muto also hear wrong last night?

Must have heard wrong...

Should he? Facing this issue, the old man uses 'should' as the final conclusion, is that treating life too lightly?

'Swish.'

Just as the old man turns around again, Xiaofan suddenly erges.

"Nani..."

The old man sees Xiaofan, his eyes instantly filled with terror.

But being experienced, he naturally won't sit idly during an ambush.

Despite his aged appearance, he swiftly retreats, dodging the sharp gleam of cold light.

'Thunk...'

Xiaofan continues to pursue, and in that mont, sothing seems to violently strike the old man's heart.

Killing Qi. The aura of murder suddenly envelops him entirely.

No escape, locked on... There's no escape.

Brother, where's my brother? Save ...

'Swish.'

A toothpick suddenly shoots out, piercing the old man's throat. The voice he wanted to cry for help instantly swallowed.

Once the throat is pierced, the old man pauses, allowing Xiaofan to quickly act...

Back then, he mocked Muto the loudest; he was the one who dismissed Xiaofan and others...

Now, he becos the first to die under Xiaofan's knife.

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong, brother?"

Here, Muto suddenly exclaims lightly.

"Nothing, I felt a familiar killing aura. Maybe it's a misconception. Our second brother wouldn't lose his temper on the island," Muto slowly says.

Indeed, it was his junior brother's fleeting Killing Qi warning Muto. But as life fades, so does the aura.

And Xiaofan, during the act, easily suppresses the aura, controlling it around the old man, excellently concealing its discovery.

After cleaning his dagger, Xiaofan drags the old man's corpse aside to hide it.

Didn't expect it to be this easy...

However, such ease ca from Xiaofan's considerable effort.

He waited patiently for soone to be alone.

Xiaofan knows better than anyone about the distribution of lethal vulnerabilities on the human body. In an ambush, with the opponent unprepared, making a silent kill is Xiaofan's trademark.

Irritation...

Perhaps from the earlier feeling, Muto inexplicably feels irritable.

Watching Mukai tirelessly typing, making the final effort, Muto's heart refuses to calm down.

Anxiety, unease... What makes him sense such anxiety?

'Boom...'

A crisp explosion echoes. Not loud; if not for sharp ears, no one would hear the faint sound.

But Muto hears it. Together with his two junior disciples, they exit the room.

"Where did it co from?" An elderly man asks casually.

"Over there, it seems like the chemical experintal lab..." Muto frowned, looking over. That unsettling feeling expands again.
