As they were getting closer to the door, Lu Shanshan"s heart jumped involuntarily. She heaved a sigh of relief and stopped at the door of the room. "This is my room..." Lu Shanshan turned to say.
"Don"t you want Yuxin to help you? Don"t waste our time and open the door!" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ interrupted her.
Lu Shanshan shook her head. Originally, she would like to exchange a few words with Jiang Lius.h.i.+, just to let them live for a little longer. After all, they were former cla.s.smates. However, since Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was so impatient, she naturally didn"t need to say anything.
"Yuxin, I am going to prepare for the examination. When I"m ready I"ll tell you to come in," Lu Shanshan said enthusiastically to Li Yuxin.
Li Yuxin nodded and stood in the same place. Lu Shanshan walked over and opened the door. One of her feet had already entered the door. At this moment, the smile on Lu Shanshan"s face disappeared completely. She had a complicated look in her eyes; it was a mix of pity and liberation.
"Jiang Lius.h.i.+, if you were a little kinder to me, I may have hesitated to scheme against you. As for Li Yuxin, she will have to share the burnt. You have already led a long happy life, it"s my turn now!" Lu Shanshan thought. She knew Lin Wei and the others would attack immediately, and soon the people outside would be riddled with bullet holes.
"Bang!"
A gunshot sounded suddenly. Although Lu Shanshan was shocked by it, she still looked unusually calm. She had expected that to happen. But at that moment, she suddenly felt as if her body had frozen solid. Accompanied by a loud sound, she saw a man falling down slowly.
From her position, she could see half of the man"s body, who was one of Lin Wei"s loyal lackeys. In fact, Lu Shanshan knew him; that man was quite skillful at shooting. However, the reality was harsh as he was currently lying lifelessly on the floor with his gun in hand and his eyes wide open.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
One body after the other sounded slamming on the floor heavily. In the blink of an eye, in front of Lu Shanshan, eight bodies lay lifelessly, all of which were the gunmen waiting in ambush by the window!
Lu Shanshan felt it was an inconceivable scene. After a few seconds, she snapped out of her dazed state, and only then did she realize that the gunshots had come from behind her.
w.a.n.g Kui"s legs were trembling involuntarily, even his lips were twitching violently…He was one step behind Lu Shanshan, so he was closer to Jiang Lius.h.i.+. He felt the almost soundless footsteps approaching him slowly, but in his ears, every step reverberated like a knock from a heavy drum.
Lu Shanshan stood rigidly in the same place. She watched Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and other girls walk into the house and arrive before her. They strode inside so easily…
In the house, Lin Wei and his lackeys stood agape. They had arranged eight gunmen by the window, and they were all exceptional shooters. Moreover, the windows were not only dusty but also covered with curtains. However, just at the moment when they were about to shoot, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ suddenly pulled out his guns, as if he didn"t need to aim at all. They were pointing at different directions on both sides and shot at the same time!
In just a moment, the gunmen behind the window were all killed in cold blood without even the chance to shoot. Everyone was killed with a headshot, so they didn"t even have the chance to react, and thus, they were sent to h.e.l.l instantly. Undoubtedly, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had killed them all on his own. Not only his sharpshooting skill had reached a G.o.d-like level, but also he had pinpointed each gunman"s position!
Lin Wei felt it was unbelievable and wondered how did the situation turn for the worse. He said in a low voice to his remaining lackeys, "Don"t worry! We still have a dozen people and five paranormals, but they"re five people in total, and four of them are girls. Don"t be afraid!"
Unexpectedly, before his voice faded, a cold voice sounded beside his ears, "Don"t underestimate us girls."
Right after, he saw a black shadow pa.s.sing by, and in the blink of an eye, several people ambus.h.i.+ng near the door all held their necks, but the blood constantly rushed out of their fingers. Those people twitched and fell to the ground, and finally, the shadow also revealed her true face. She was a cat-like girl that seemed to have merged with the shadows. She just stood there quietly, but from her dagger blood was still dripping down. Her eyes were indifferent and calm. Seeing the girl, Lin Wei could feel his scalp tingle. But what about the voice he had just heard, who was she!?
Only after killing so many people in an instant, and with the perpetrator being a single person, did Feng Yi and the others started to realize that they were way too careless. They were just like frogs at the bottom of a well - able only to see a little patch of the vast sky above. They thought their plan was foolproof because they were unaware that the seemingly weak team had horrifying paranormals in its disposal.
Lu Shanshan was also shocked to death. It turned out that Jiang Lius.h.i.+"s sharpshooting skills were superb. It was obvious that none of his members were ordinary.
Lin Wei calmed down and said, "Feng Yi, you and I should fight against that young boy. Although his sharpshooting skills are terrifying, as long as we cooperate, he won"t pose a threat to us. You two, you go to grab that cat-like girl. Everyone else will go and grab the other women behind Jiang Lius.h.i.+," Lin Wei ordered because he knew that Li Yuxin was just a doctor and he could just sense little energy fluctuations coming from the other girls. He thought that as long as he targeted the three girls, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ would be cautious in taking action.
However, without waiting for them to act, the tall girl walked to them directly. Jiang Zhuying smiled and said, "You want to catch me? Why bother so much?"
Hearing her words, Lin Wei was shocked. Had she heard everything he had said?
Actually, not only Jiang Zhuying but also Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had heard their conversation clearly.
"Sister Ling, you have worked hard, come over first," Jiang Zhuying said. And then she smiled and walked to the middle of the room, with a cloth-wrapped object in both hands.
Seeing this scene, Lu Shanshan, who was already in despair, felt that there was a glimmer of hope now. She had noticed that Jiang Lius.h.i.+"s att.i.tude toward that girl was exceptionally good, it seemed he was very fond of her. If they could restrain her, the situation would change.
While everyone was about to make their move, Jiang Zhuying shook the longsword in her hand, and the cloth around it fell off, revealing a bright blade and a chain coiled around it. And then a thin electric current pa.s.sed through and surrounded the cold weapon.
"Boom!"
Everyone heard and felt a thunderous wave coming from a Jiang Zhuying"s body, as well as a violent and overbearing energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation scared Lin Wei and his lackeys sh*tless! At the same time, Jiang Zhuying"s longsword was entangled by an electric snake, while a silver current enveloped Jiang Zhuying"s body. She was looking at Lin Wei and his lackeys as if they were a bunch of worms.
Both Lu Shanshan and w.a.n.g Kui felt their skin tingling, and they looked at Jiang Zhuying with horror.
"Zi-"
Suddenly, an outburst of power blinded everyone"s vision and then hit them, but none screamed at all. When their vision gradually recovered, they saw Lin Wei"s lackeys standing where they were, but their skin was scorched black!
Jiang Zhuying stood there like she had done nothing. She said with a snort, "These people are too weak." Those people were indeed too weak for her to use her real strength. She had not met any noteworthy enemy ever since she evolved. That discharge was no different from stretching her body.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, someone jumped toward Luo Ming, who was lying in the corner. The person was Lin Wei, who had been hiding behind the wooden cabinet at the back. Even so, he hadn"t avoided Jiang Zhuying"s electrical attack successfully.
Noticing this, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ became somewhat surprised. It seemed that Lin Wei just had a little bit of ability.
"Bang!"
In such a short period of time, Jiang Lius.h.i.+"s shooting speed was lightning fast, and he shot accurately at Lin Wei"s legs.
"Aaaaaaah!"
Lin Wei fell to the ground. He constantly screamed because his legs" pain was simply heartbreaking.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ walked over and raised Lin Wei directly.
Seeing that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ held a strong man with one hand, w.a.n.g Kui could no longer bear this fear and fell directly to the ground. In his mind, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was a terrifying individual.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked at Luo Ming and then pulled out the cloth in his mouth. "Luo Ming, who hit you like this? Was it him?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ asked while pointing at Lin Wei.
Lin Wei breathing became erratic, and his face was as white as a paper. Luo Ming looked awkward and nodded subconsciously.
"Well, I know."Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked at Lin Wei.
Lin Wei"s heart skipped a bit as he endured the pain in his leg. He said, "Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang! It"s Feng Yi who forced me to do this-"
"Feng Yi? I don"t know, nor I have the interest to know about him," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ interrupted.
A cold glint flashed through Lin Wei"s eyes, and his body suddenly twisted, and he attacked Jiang Lius.h.i.+. However, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ just swayed to the side, and then a cold light occurred in his hand.
"Puff!"
From the back, a tri-edge bayonet penetrated Lin Wei"s head accurately. As Jiang Lius.h.i.+ pulled out his weapon, Lin Wei directly faced the ground and fell heavily on it.
"That"s your punishment, you deserve it," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said. In fact, he had never thought highly of Lin Wei.
w.a.n.g Kui, who was trembling on the floor, was stunned. He couldn"t believe that less than three minutes had pa.s.sed since Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had entered the house and all the people were killed!
At this time, Lu Shanshan suddenly cried out. She pointed to w.a.n.g Kui and said, "w.a.n.g Kui, you are a f*cking animal. Why did you tick me? No wonder when I said that I would go to ask Yuxin for help, you tagged along!" she said while walking to Jiang Lius.h.i.+"s side. She trembled and cried. "Jiang Lius.h.i.+, I"m so sorry. I was deceived. Fortunately, you are powerful enough. Otherwise, you would all die because of me…"
"No, it was not me. I..." w.a.n.g Kui"s voice was shaking.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked at Lu Shanshan and asked, "Are you sure? Are you crying because you blame yourself?"
Lu Shanshan looked at Jiang Lius.h.i.+, and her eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope. She said in a hurry, "Of course! In fact, there is something I haven"t told you. I... I actually hope that you can take me away, but, I am afraid that I will be a burden. You may not know how happy I was when I saw you today. Although you don"t remember me, I remember you clearly. Once a friend of yours told me that he wanted to introduce us. I was very happy, but you never tried to contact me. I was very angry with you at that time... but then I regretted. I should have taken the initiative to contact you," Lu Shanshan said with a stream of tears falling down her cheeks. She believed that men would be kind to girls who admired them.
However, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ just looked at Lu Shanshan, but he really couldn"t help but laugh.
Lu Shanshan was stunned when she saw Liang Lius.h.i.+"s smile. In fact, she thought that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was indeed handsome with a special charm, and felt that she was too naïve in the past.
Since Jiang Lius.h.i.+ smiled, Lu Shanshan also followed along and smiled back, "I am sorry to tell you these things..."
"Lu Shanshan, I really admire your acting skills," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said suddenly.
"Ah?" Lu Shanshan looked at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ in shock but full of innocence.
"Did you know that there are psychic paranormals in this world we live? From the moment you left to find Luo Ming, we"ve been monitoring you. We"ve known of your ambush since the very beginning," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said slowly. But every word was like a heavy hammer in the mind of Lu Shanshan. She instantly seemed to have fallen into the abyss of despair again with her legs trembling involuntarily, and her lips also twitching uncontrollably. Lu Shanshan understood that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had been treating her like a clown who was performing tricks for little kids.
She cried again. "Brother Jiang! I was just confused...Please, spare me... we were cla.s.smates...I am just a helpless woman..." Lu Shanshan shouted.
Unfortunately for her, she only saw Jiang Lius.h.i.+ lifting his gun up. Lu Shanshan stepped back in horror, staring at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and constantly shaking her head. "Jiang Lius.h.i.+, don"t! Do you want to kill a woman?"
"Bang!"
With a burst of blue smoke from the muzzle, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked at Lu Shanshan"s falling body, and he said coldly, "What kind of woman are you?"
