Tension does not equal cowardice, nor does it equal fear and dread; it is a psychological reaction.
Xiao Lin confird the person's identity in the first instant. From the beginning of his entry, he had only been suspicious of who this person was. Although there were many similarities externally, simply relying on photo confirmation was still considerably off.
The woman tilted her head, expressing her suspicion towards the person who suddenly appeared before her, still holding freshly washed clothes in her hands. She turned around in confusion to look behind her, which was an unnaturally dark area, like a very deep cave, seemingly bottomless.
Xiao Lin didn't hesitate; as the woman turned around, he squatted down, hiding behind the sofa. Hearing the woman make a confused sound, there were no footsteps, so he couldn't determine her actions at that mont. Xiao Lin quietly moved his feet, maneuvering from behind the sofa to one side, peeking out to observe the woman's location.
The woman continued her original route, hanging the clothes piece by piece on the balcony, then glanced at the fish tank. Compared to the relatively clear water, which had only a few milliters in depth earlier, now it had more than half; the murkiness began to settle, and the fish, with its silvery glow covering its body, was nowhere to be found, perhaps hidden deep within the layers of chaos below.
The fish tank returned to tranquility after the slaughter, and the woman returned everything to its original place, taking off her foot covers, she tiptoed around the coils, repeatedly putting them back on, lifted her bag, placed her hand on the doorknob, and turned to laugh into the pristine room.
Turning the handle, the door didn't move a bit! The woman tried again, still the sa result. Her laughter stopped, she put down her bag, furrowing her brow. She walked back to where she found Xiao Lin earlier, scanning where he had stood. "I didn't lock the door, now it won't open!" She stood there talking to herself. "Soone was standing here." Had she seen Xiao Lin?
Listening to her utter such a sentence, Xiao Lin's heart was alard; this was a typical symptom of a neurological disorder, indicating she was in a phase of an episode. If so, anything she does, as long as it doesn't involve a murder case, can be attributed to psychological issues, and if that's the case, even capturing her would be of no use.
Wrong! Xiao Lin silently rejected such an explanation. She was a person with logical thinking. From every step of the way she did things, she wasn't soone with a ntal disorder.
Suddenly, a face enlarged in front of him; she just appeared before him, Xiao Lin stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, heart pounding fiercely. At close range, the woman's pupils were contracted; her whites of the eyes were larger than the black irises, no overlap between the two eyes.
And worse yet, he was firmly drawn in by these pupils, like being sucked in, he could only see those two black spheres without any ability to act.
Is this the Nie Soul Technique? Xiao Lin wanted to break free from this constraint; his mind was clear, but his actions were blind followers. This was the first ti he encountered such a thing, and a mont of hesitation trapped him in the other's snare.
The woman tilted her head to the left, then to the right, unclear expression extending a hand towards Xiao Lin's neck.
The collar was lifted entirely, a strong force from behind tossed him aside, followed by a couple of thuds, sothing fell nearby. Xiao Lin shook his head and saw Mu Rongyun standing before him; after dragging him aside, Mu Rongyun kicked the woman away, resulting in the recent noise from her not taking tily precautions, being kicked down to one side.
"Don't kill her, she still has uses!" Xiao Lin got up from the ground, agh, this guy really doesn't show rcy; although that pull saved him from his montary negligence, the force was a bit too heavy.
Mu Rongyun didn't respond to Xiao Lin's warning. He squinted, focusing on the woman who quickly sprang up from the ground. "Are you sure?"
Behind Mu Rongyun, Xiao Lin couldn't see the scene in front clearly, feeling a slight difference in the doubt Mu Rongyun raised. Ti didn't allow much thought; a shadow had already leapt over Mu Rongyun, pounced towards him. "What thing?" Xiao Lin flipped backward, avoiding the pouncing object, standing by the sofa's armrest. "How can this be?" Xiao Lin exclaid upon seeing the silhouette clearly.
"You know her?" Mu Rongyun also didn't anticipate such a small woman to possess such explosive strength, equal to him and Xiao Lin. Jumping on the spot, she overca his altitude easily to land where Xiao Lin stood earlier. Such precise distance calculation is very useful in real combat. "In your opponents, is there anyone like this?" Mu Rongyun couldn't help but be surprised at the appearance of such a master, mainly viewing the North District case from a spectator's perspective, when did Yao Zheng's people beco formidable?
"Yeah, she's a hostess at the 'Phoenix Tail' nightclub." Xiao Lin was astonished, but after a brief period, he didn't think this was her inherent ability. "I suspect she used drugs."
"Not necessarily!" Mu Rongyun denied his statent. "Even though Fourth Master's dicine boosts human explosiveness within a short ti, elevating combat power, this is a leap based on innate ability. If you say she's a hostess, an ordinary person using such drugs, although they can gain so explosiveness, couldn't reach her level." Mu Rongyun explained to Xiao Lin the normal range change from using drugs.
"Oh, you seem to know it quite well." In terms of pharmaceutical prowess and interest, Mu Rongyun had a far greater depth of knowledge than Xiao Lin, not admitting to losing to him, but indeed knowing more in the illicit ways.
"I participated in part of the early drug adjustnts." Mu Rongyun increasingly wouldn't hide things before Xiao Lin, his candidness seed like a declaration that no matter what, you couldn't beat , so what I do or say now is generally aningless to you.
"This drug has side effects." Xiao Lin thought of Zacks' instant, the outco would be a dead end.
"Any drug has side effects, and abroad, the number of people dying monthly under these banned drugs is countless. But judging by the woman's current drug usage, it should be a new dosage; its duration is much longer than before." (To be continued.
