BXBX NOVEL Chapter 40 - 40 The Prey that came to the door_1
Stepping out from the back alley of the bar, Pei Jinye exhaled lightly.
The scents inside the bar were too murky… a mix of smoke, alcohol, perfume, and air fresher overwhelmed him, especially since his perception had been enhanced.
As he left the alley, the ground was already slightly damp.
The light drizzle that fell on Pei Jinye’s mask did not provoke the urge to dodge as a downpour would.
He moved forward for a moment.
Suddenly, Pei Jinye reached out to lower the brim of his hat.
After stepping into a shadow on the side, his entire figure vanished abruptly.
Three seconds later, two hurried figures chased after him.
“Where is he?”
“He was just here a second ago.”
“He”
The next second, “Bang!”
The first black-clad man to arrive got hit by a heavy punch on the left cheek, sending him flying backwards and crashing into the wall at the alley’s entrance, his fate unknown.
The adjacent chubby black-clad man stood stunned, his body breaking out in a cold sweat; he did however react quickly.
“Fire”
But just as small flames began to flicker on his fist.
A gigantic fist materialized out of nowhere, striking him in the stomach.
“Ugh!”
The chubby man’s eyes bulged as he doubled over, almost vomiting everything he’d eaten that day, like a shrimp that had been deveined.
What he didn’t anticipate was that his opponent was even more ruthless and decisive than he’d imagined.
“Enter the dream!”
An indifferent voice suddenly rang out.
In the dream.
The chubby man lifted his head in horror, and amidst the churning sea of blood, a ladder connected to the sky, where a figure sat aloof, like a king reigning from above.
“Who sent you?”
“It’s…” Frantic fear was evident in the chubby man’s stuttering response, “It was… Lord Huan Ling.”
“And who is he?” Pei Jinye asked expressionlessly.
“He is one of the Thirteen Protectors from Sky God International. In the evening, our people saw you and that person with the silver-faced mask at the entrance; he ordered us to follow you…” The chubby man kneeled on the ground, confessing the truth.
Pei Jinye frowned slightly, murmuring to himself, “People from Heaven God have found me? What a nuisance.”
Before he could ask anything else.
His eyebrows suddenly twitched.
His consciousness returned to reality.
From the shadows across the alley, Silver Art approached, seemingly in a rush, “What happened?”
“We’ve been followed,” Pei Jinye glanced suspiciously, “Why are you here?”
“I forgot to tell you something. But who are they?” Silver Art walked over, ignoring the two black-clad men lying on the ground, fate unknown.
Pei Jinye said nonchalantly, “Haven’t interrogated them yet. Oh right, I also forgot to tell you something, the boss talked to me about something today…”
The voice trailed off into a whisper.
“He wanted you for what?” Silver Art was startled, seemingly curious.
“He said…”
Within a distance of three feet, Pei Jinye’s figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, a sudden gust of wind rose!
Technique “Quake”!
Technique “Unbreakable Vajra”!
Technique “Shadow Sword Technique”!
In an instant, three techniques were activated simultaneously.
The roaring sound completely covered the wind pouring into the alley.
Silver Art’s expression froze.
He had no idea that things would change so rapidly.
Even if he wanted to dodge, he couldn’t possibly be faster than Pei Jinye.
Because the moment Pei Jinye saw him, he had already decided to make a move.
“Crack!”
The mask shattered.
Then, a continuous clatter resounded as, in the drizzle, a punch sent Silver Art flying.
Beneath the broken mask, an unfamiliar face was filled with shock.
He had completely lost sight of Pei Jinye in his field of vision.
But his opponent’s fist landed on his face once more.
“Thud, thud, thud!”
It was the sound of bones breaking.
The mysterious man knelt on the ground, blood mixing with the raindrops falling down, and uttered in disbelief, “How did you detect me?”
Without uttering a word, Pei Jinye grabbed the man’s hair, “Next time you impersonate someone, do a little more homework.”
His eyes gleamed as he stared at the person in his grip, the light in his eyes flickering.
In the darkness of the night, a Ghost Face Mask looked as ferocious as a demonic king.
Pei Jinye was curious… Was this person’s ability perhaps disguise?
It was undeniable.
If the man hadn’t made a slip-up in the way he walked, he really would have thought it was Silver Art who had come.
“Enter Dream.”
“Who are you?”
“Huan Ling…”
“So you are Huan Ling. What does Sky God International want to do?”
“Retaliate against the Old Gods Association.”
“Because of the researcher Sun Lei?”
“Yes.”
“Why capture him?”
“I don’t know, that’s what headquarters wants.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye lost his interest in further inquiry and asked the question he was most interested in: “What’s your ability?”
“Mutated. I can turn into anyone I’ve seen, the more detailed, the shorter the duration. If I don’t consider fingerprints and irises, I can maintain it for up to three days.”
Pei Jinye nodded in satisfaction.
“Very good, it’s mine now.”
Before dying, Huan Ling looked at Pei Jinye incredulously: “Who are you, after all? How can there be someone in this world who can strip others of their extraordinary abilities…”
However, what responded to him… was a knife to Pei Jinye’s own chest.
“Pff!”
After the deed was done.
Pei Jinye called Black Shark.
“I’ve been ambushed.”
“You’ve been ambushed too?” Black Shark sounded somewhat surprised.
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly: “You mean there’s someone else?”
“Yes, Red Rose and Tai Yuan were ambushed on their way and got injured. Are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I’m in Kapok Alley, arrange for someone to handle the scene.”
“Glad you’re okay. I’ll arrange for someone right away.”
Pei Jinye took away Huan Ling’s body, secretly sinking it in the river, leaving only the two bodies of Sky God International’s secret members at the scene.
He didn’t want others to know that yet another one of the Thirteen Protectors of Sky God International had died at his hands.
Survive to catch a bigger fish!
On the light rail train.
Pei Jinye was resting with his eyes closed on the bench.
In reality, he was reviewing his own attribute panel.
[Name]: Pei Jinye;
[Extraordinary Genes]: Devour·First Form (4/100) (Psychic·Shadow Spear (1/3), Body·Diamond (1/3), Spirit·Shadow (1/3), Form·Mutated (1/3), Strength Series Fragments (1/3));
[Extraordinary Abilities]: Blood Spear; Retrogression; Golden Armor; Dark Shadow Flicker; Phantom Body;
[Vitality Value]: 1.6-3.7;
[Stamina]: 4.6-10 (average value for normal people 1);
[Psychic Power]: 1.7-7.4;
[Skill]: Basic Breathing Method (Great Success 1.6%); Quake (Beginner 15%); Dream Hypnosis (Beginner 14.5%); Solidifying Yuan Technique (Beginner 1.3%); Blood Guiding Art (Beginner 0.3%); Appraisal Technique (Beginner 11%); Vajra is Indestructible (Beginner 3.1%); Psychic·Locking Technique (Beginner 0.3%); Shadow Sword Technique (Beginner 0.1%);
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Pei Jinye’s mouth.
One complete extraordinary ability had directly brought three progress values, very good.
This also eased some of the crisis feeling caused by the sliding Vitality Value.
However, Huan Ling was truly weak, apart from the Basic Breathing Method bringing in some proficiency, he barely reached Beginner in Firearms.
It’s a wonder how he survived until now.
He recalled Huan Ling’s account in his mind.
As for the long-haired man with sunglasses named Xiaozhi, Pei Jinye wouldn’t touch him, for he was a member of the Federation Special Operations Team, and triggering his account would draw the attention of the intelligent brain.
He certainly didn’t want to bring trouble upon himself.
But it was different with Huan Ling.
As one of the Thirteen Protectors of Sky God International, he had a certain level of freedom.
So being missing for a day or two wouldn’t surprise anyone.
After all, they often had to lead teams on missions, and would disappear for days at a time.
“Sky God International’s benefits really are tempting.”
That night.
Pei Jinye’s net worth surged by 1.8 million!
