Chapter 1691: Entrapnt
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
ng Chao’s intuition had been wrong.
He closed his eyes and recalled the faces that had entered and exited the ladies’ room in the past five minutes. He realized that all the won who had stepped out could match the won who had entered, except…
A female cleaner pushing a small cart.
ng Chao rembered that she was a middle-aged woman who was about 40 to 50 years old, and she had a very fat figure.
She had likely consud a large amount of synthetic food produced from monsters. Hence, the excessive amount of fat and heat gave her face and body a fleshy appearance.
Her ten fingers were also thick and short. Due to the corrosion of long-term labor and cleaning agents, they were almost translucent red like ten scarred carrots.
Her ssy hair was covered by a slanted work cap, but the work cap was marked with spots and stains. It was no surprise that cleaning work in a place like the Monster Market was sloppy.
ng Chao still rembered hearing the woman grumble angrily while she pushed the cart. It was as if she was complaining about the sudden increase in the number of people in the Monster Market over the past few days. Even her work had beco a lot heavier.
When she pushed a bucket and mop out of the female toilet, she almost spilled the dirty water in the bucket onto the custors who were lining up next to her because she used too much force.
After the patrons complained a little, the woman, who obviously had a bad temper, imdiately widened her eyes until they were bigger than copper bells. It seed like she could not wait to fight soone to make up for her boring work. It was like adding a little spice.
Without a doubt, everyone would glance at the cleaning lady.
But no one would take a second look.
ng Chao was the sa. He had only swept his gaze past her, not stopping for even 0.1 seconds.
When ng Chao recalled it, he suddenly realized sothing odd about the cleaning lady.
‘Her back’s too straight!’ ng Chao blurted out in his heart.
‘Her bucket’s filled with water, and it’s obviously not light. Even if there are wheels underneath, it should be very difficult for her to push the cart. Being an ordinary cleaning lady, her waist should be more bent when she pushes it, making it easier for her to exert all her strength.
‘However, when she pushed that bucket full of cleaning tools and water, it seed as easy as lifting weights.
‘On the other hand, if the cleaning lady could push the bucket easily, it would have been impossible for the water inside to spill out and almost splash on other people.
‘She’s not a cleaning lady.
‘She’s Lu Siya!’
ng Chao was extrely anxious.
His eyes flashed through the crowd like lightning.
Finally, he caught the “cleaning woman” again at the southwestern exit.
“What on Earth is she doing?”
Gritting his teeth, ng Chao locked onto Lu Siya from a distance while he scanned the Ghost Assassins around him. After making sure that neither side had discovered his existence, he began to vibrate the muscles all over his body rapidly. Like a loach, he advanced speedily through the huge crowd without a change in expression, keeping a far distance from Lu Siya.
Very soon, they left the Monster Market through the back door in the southwestern corner.
There was a poor street in urgent need of renovation behind the Monster Market.
A few tall and sturdy warehouses had been transford into temporary recycling plants to store monster viscera and various kinds of waste. Following careful selection by the consurs, many monster materials would be on the verge of exceeding their shelf life. The cheap ones that were still unsought after by people would all be sent there and sorted into different categories. After freezing and grinding, they would be turned into organic fertilizer and industrial raw materials.
As with all the monster materials recycling plants, the sewage there was flowing and the stench was overwhelming. Deford and mutated mosquitoes were buzzing everywhere.
Therefore, unlike the bustling Monster Market that was separated by a wall, the poor streets and alleys behind the market were like a different world. Aside from the workers, very few people would step into that place.
ng spotted Lu Siya in the distance. While pretending to be a cleaning woman, she looked around before she straightened her back a little. Then, she reached out and fumbled for sothing in at the bottom of the bucket. Eventually, she took out a portable crystal communicator wrapped in a sealed plastic bag!
Lu Siya put on the communicator again, threw the cleaning trolley aside, and strode toward the depths of the poor streets and alleys.
“It appears that soone summoned Lu Siya here.”
ng Chao thought quickly. “Soone’s controlling her movents remotely!”
While he was deep in thought, ng Chao suddenly felt more than ten familiar breaths and heartbeats flying over his head from all directions toward Lu Siya.
Not good.
They were Yun Feidian’s subordinates—the mbers of the Blood Alliance or the Ghost Assassins.
Whatever Lu Siya’s purpose for going there was, she had made a fatal mistake.
She had left all her companions in the Monster Market.
Besides, there were no ordinary citizens in the poor street.
No one could stop the Ghost Assassins from secretly capturing Lu Siya.
Chi!
At that mont, a andering pipe on the wall to Lu Siya’s left suddenly burst open and shot out a large amount of yellowish-brown gas.
The dark and damp narrow alley was instantly shrouded by a hazy fog.
The pipe that surrounded the monster materials’ processing center was either transmitting high-pressure steam or waste gas from the decomposition and ferntation of the materials.
Due to the lack of maintenance, it was common for the pipe to break down.
Although such waste gas often contained trace toxins and corrosiveness, which could easily damage the health of ordinary people, there was no need for superhumans to specifically avoid them. They had extrely strong cell activity and spirit protection.
Lu Siya did not mind the yellowish-brown gas and directly passed through the hazy fog.
However, ng Chao’s olfactory cells were like ice cubes that had fallen into a pot of oil, violently jumping up and down.
‘This doesn’t feel right. It isn’t just the waste produced from the ferntation of monster materials.
‘It also contains traces of muscle paralysis substances and neurotoxins!
‘Although the dose isn’t enough to paralyze a high-level superhuman directly, it can greatly reduce the five senses, as well as the reaction speed of the nerves!”
ng Chao finally realized that this was a trap.
The person who had spoken to Lu Siya was definitely linked to the Blood Alliance and Yun Feidian.
He might not know what the other party had said in the crystal communicator, but it was enough to make Lu Siya lower her guard and venture there alone.
However, the trick to trap Lu Siya was definitely not as simple as nerve toxins mixed in the exhaust gas!
As expected, just as ng Chao ca to his sudden realization, Lu Siya seed to sll danger too, and she stopped abruptly.
But it was too late!
Right under her feet, a dull, loud sound ca from the depths of the earth!
