The voice was crisp and pleasant to the ear.
It’s my sister!
Hui Lijing’s face lit up with joy, and she subconsciously reached to open the car door, but it didn’t open imdiately.
Huh?
When did the car door lock itself?
I buckled my seatbelt when I got in the car, but I didn’t lock the door, did I?
Hui Lijing clearly rembered everything after getting in the car.
Then, she was suddenly alard.
"Why did I just want to get out of the car?"
"How could my sister possibly be here?"
Now fully alert, Hui Lijing beca even more cautious.
She stared intently outside.
Through the dense fog, the voice of Hui Lixiang kept coming, one after another.
"Hui Lijing."
"Hui Lijing."
The voice was as crisp and pleasant as the one Hui Lijing rembered of her sister, but she was certain that her sister couldn’t be there.
The place wasn’t far from the café; if her sister were here, she would have gone directly back.
Moreover, sitting inside the car, she couldn’t see anything outside enveloped by the heavy fog.
So how could her sister possibly see everything inside the car through the fog?
Even with the car’s headlights on, it would be the sa.
Therefore, it definitely wasn’t her sister.
Hui Lijing analyzed the situation calmly.
But,
Deep down, she still harbored a sliver of hope.
What if it really was her sister?
What if her sister encountered so special event, and could only appear in such heavy fog?
Perhaps, it was precisely because of her sister’s appearance that the fog erged.
If I want to find my sister, this could be my only chance!
With that thought, Hui Lijing was sowhat tempted.
She glanced around once more.
And then—
"Hui Lixiang, you co out!"
"If you’re already back, why don’t you dare to co see ?"
"We stopped playing these kinds of petty tricks when we were six!"
"Do you think you can scare ?"
Hui Lijing bellowed with all her might.
Going outside posed a great danger, but worried it really was her sister, she had to make her sister show herself.
However, outside could still be heard ’Hui Lijing, Hui Lijing’ calling out.
"Hmph."
"Sure enough, it’s fake."
Hui Lijing let out a cold laugh, a sigh of relief in her heart.
She had indeed been worried that everything before her was a setup by her sister to et her, and then she might miss the only chance.
But now?
No more worries.
The incident at the age of six was a secret between her and Hui Lixiang.
Under pressure from Hui Lixiang, she swore never to tell anyone.
And with just a slight ntion of that incident, if it really was Hui Lixiang, she would surely jump out to cover her mouth.
But now, aside from the repetitive calls, there was nothing else.
Even if the voice was similar,
To her, it couldn’t possibly be.
Therefore, Hui Lijing sat in the car with a gun in hand, waiting.
Since the opponent had only created fog and chose to lure her, it indicated that the enemy didn’t have the confidence to confront her directly or was not adept at straightforward combat.
So she waited.
Waiting for a change in the situation.
A change that would be advantageous to her.
But... Jason!
I hope that guy is alright!
Hui Lijing prayed silently at the bottom of her heart.
Then, at that mont—
The car door opened!
Hui Lijing raised the gun in her hand instinctively.
Jason just nonchalantly sat down in the passenger seat.
Facing the muzzle, Jason was quite displeased.
"What are you doing?"
"Put down the gun!"
Jason frowned and asked.
"What did you just go do?"
Hui Lijing didn’t lower the gun, but instead stared directly at Jason and asked.
"I heard Hui Lixiang’s voice and got out to check."
Jason spoke as if it were nothing unusual.
And Hui Lijing?
She pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang, bang bang!
Three shots in succession.
Three bullets hit Jason right between the eyes and in the left and right side of his chest.
Jason, incredulous, looked at Hui Lijing, who had fired the shots, and then lowered his head to look at his own wounds.
"How did you figure it out?"
Jason asked.
At the sa ti, the tall, robust figure began to shrivel at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Jason has never seen Hui Lixiang."
"Nor would he recognize her voice."
Hui Lijing said this as she pulled the trigger again.
Bang bang bang!
Three more shots, the already withered ’Jason’, burst open on the spot.
Pop!
It was like a balloon exploding.
Only a leaf fell from the air, the leaf already torn and tattered, scattering when it landed on the seat, as if it were a dry leaf in the cold winter crushed by soone’s hand.
"Leaves?"
Hui Lijing was taken aback, her gun-hand slightly lowered, veering away from the passenger seat.
"Hehe!"
A strange snicker suddenly entered Hui Lijing’s ears.
Not good!
Hui Lijing was about to raise her gun again.
But it was too late!
On the empty passenger seat, a shadow pounced at her.
The shadow wasn’t big, only the size of a four- or five-year-old child.
But the speed was extrely fast.
Moreover, Hui Lijing already felt the coldness at her neck.
It was the reaction one would have only when a blade was placed against their neck—she had gone through similar trials during training to better adapt to combat, with the instructor assisting her.
But unlike the trial from before,
This ti it was real.
Death!
Was imminent!
Blood throughout Hui Lijing’s body seed to freeze; for the first ti, she felt she was about to die.
It was a strange sensation.
So unfamiliar that her body seed frozen.
Before her eyes, an ancient scene began to erge—
"Monster! Monster!"
"Yao eats people!"
"Fight the monster!"
"Fight the monster!"
Cow dung hit the young Hui Lijing.
Hui Lijing didn’t cry like other bullied little girls.
She picked up the cow dung that had fallen off her and charged at the loudest boy, saring his face with the dung.
Then, while he was bewildered, she shoved another handful of dung into his mouth.
And then?
She pinched his nose.
She watched him swallow the dung, chewing it, and she laughed out loud.
However, she was also beaten black and blue.
But she had no regrets.
Anyone who dared to throw dung at her, she would make them eat it, chew it.
That hadn’t changed before.
And now?
It wouldn’t change either!
The scene from her mory brought a fierce glint to the detective’s eyes.
Want to kill ?
Co and try!
It’s just cow dung!
Hui Lijing roared in her heart, and her stiff body imdiately sprang into action.
She raised her gun, aid at the shadow.
The shadow was also close at hand.
Its sharp claws were about to sweep across her throat.
But Hui Lijing didn’t waver.
It’s a fair exchange, one for one!
With such resolve, Hui Lijing was about to pull the trigger, but a palm was faster.
The broad, powerful palm directly grabbed the shadow.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The shadow let out a series of cries, trying to break free from the grasp, but the palm was as firm as if cast from iron; its sharp claws scratched it, not only leaving the palm unscathed, but on the contrary, its claw tips broke amidst sparks flying.
"Dry noodles... no, it’s a civet!"
"Why is there a civet here!"
"And how did you appear again!"
Hui Lijing finally ca back to her senses and looked at Jason in the back seat.
Aside from holding a civet in his palm, he seed utterly undisturbed.
"I’ve always been here."
Jason replied like that.
He really hadn’t left, just entered a ’Stealth’ mode.
A ’Stealth’ beyond Transcendent completely concealed his presence from Hui Lijing’s view.
As for why to ’Stealth’?
It was simple.
To conceal his presence.
Jason certainly did not want the ’food’ that ca knocking to escape again.
Paying no further attention to Hui Lijing, Jason lowered his head to look at the civet in his hands, his mouth splitting into a grin, his sharp teeth exposed, saliva swirled between teeth, stretching into long threads.
He said near instinctively—
"Raw isn’t good... boil water!"
