Chapter 27:, How Did You Do It 1

Translator: 549690339 |???? —

The room was dim, filled with a strong scent of blood.

The criminal was hauled before him, in a feeble condition.

“What were you trying to find here?” Asked Wu Heng.

The criminal whipped out a large amount of blood and answered through gritted teeth, “If I tell you, will you let go?”

“Do you think you can still walk?”

Fair trade, you let go, I’ll tell you what we were looking for.”

He cos to slaughter at his own place and speaks about a fair trade.

Were you here to collect the snake-headed note from Basen?” Wu Heng continued.

When Basen was first killed.

The noteworthy thing was the note with the snake head, though its purpose was unknown, it was the only unique item.

He didn’t get a response, but from the slight flinch, he could tell he had hit the nail on the head.

There was no need to question further, he commanded, “Kill him.”

“No…”

Splat-1

Jianyi’s sword rose and fell, and the iron sword was driven through the subject’s throat.

[Experience 30.]

[Summoned entity – Skeleton Swordsman Experience 10.] The body slumped down, and the notifications appeared instantly.

This night had indeed boosted his and the Skeleton’s experience significantly. Wu Heng looked at the corpse on the ground, then at the waiting Skeletons in the room.

In the end, he decided not to send them back through the boundary door, fearing additional enemies.

Basen, who had been stationed outside, hadn’t yet returned.

Wu Heng lit a flashlight and began searching the corpse.

He found three money bags full of silver and copper coins- quite a stash for a fugitive.

It seems these people must have a regular base in the town.

Aside from the money, there were also their weapons and armor.

The weapons were set aside while the armor was left untouched to avoid additional blood loss.

Thump, thump-!

The door was knocked, and through the crack of the door, Skeleton Basen could be seen standing outside.

Opening the door, “Are there any other people?”

Basen shook his head, indicating there were not.

He’s kept Basen, the top-level thief, outside because he feared there might be a lookout like last ti.

If they were to escape again, it would beco a perpetual situation.

Now it appears they tid their entry just right and didn’t appoint a lookout.

“Move the bodies to the living room, then all return to the boundary door.” Wu Heng continued to instruct.

The bodies were laid on leather cushions and moved to the living room. The skeletons in the room returned to the boundary door right away.

It was morning.

There was a flurry of footsteps outside the door.

Bang-!

The door was kicked open and Captain Autruck, Cavina, and other mbers of the professional team stord in.

Weapons drawn, vigilant eyes scanning the whole house.

When they saw Wu Heng sitting in the chair with three neatly arranged corpses underneath, they were all montarily stunned.

“Wu Heng, are you alright?” Autruck imdiately asked.

“Yes, I’m fine.” Wu Heng replied while eyeing the others.

Standing behind Autruck was, besides Cavina, a woman in leather armor with wheat-colored skin, brown hair twisted into braids, holding a wooden staff, and a sword slung at her waist.

Wu Heng had seen her before and now he could guess who she was, the second team’s captain, ‘Tulisa’.

The only female captain among the four squads.

Further behind were several n, one in silver armor with a sword and shield and three in leather armor, so with bows, so with swords, all mbers of the second squad.

Seeing Wu Heng unhard, the group exhaled in relief, then again went from relaxed to stunned.

Their gaze returned to the three corpses on the ground.

“These are all criminals? You killed them?” Tulisa asked.

The second team’s mission last night was also to capture a criminal.

They’d made adequate preparations, with guards providing a blockade, and

also enlisted Autruck’s and Cavina’s help.

Only then they successfully killed the criminal.

Yet the newcor, who was held in low regard by all teams and barely chosen by Autruck due to his lack of manpower, had managed to kill three.

How is that possible?

One mber of the second team stepped forward and examined the bodies,

then nodded. “All of them are wanted criminals with rewards.”

After saying that, both parties fell silent again.

Tulisa asked in astonishnt, “You killed them?”

Their gaze once again fell on Wu Heng, then on the figure standing aside with a rotund helt.

The matter of wanted criminals was serious in Black Stone Town.

The newest mber of the fourth team killing three criminals would certainly draw attention and respect.

If they had known this earlier, they would have recruited the necromancer themselves, even as a reserve mber.

At this mont Autruck snapped back to reality and introduced, “Wu Heng, this is Tulisa, captain of the second team. In my absence, you can turn to her if needed.”

It seed Autruck and Tulisa had a good relationship.

“Nice to et you, Captain Tulisa.” Said Wu Heng.

“Mm, if you feel the fourth team is not suitable, you can join our team, sister

will save you a spot.” Tulisa replied with a smile.

“Thanks, but the fourth team is good.”

“Tulisa, please help transport the three bodies. Cavina, take Wu Heng back to the guild to check if he’s injured.” Autruck imdiately cut off the others’ attempts to lure Wu Heng away.

Tulisa nodded, and soone behind her took out body bags to wrap up and take away the bodies.

Cavina called a carriage outside and led Wu Heng to the guild.

On the carriage.

Cavina, with her long legs crossed, looked at him and suggested. “You could consider renting a house in the central district, it would be safer there and it’s closer to the guild.”

He’d thought of this before.

Given that he had so money on hand now, he could rent a better house and improve his living conditions.

But this idea had always been just a plan and not acted upon yet.

The crowded district might have poor conditions, but it draws less attention

and no one cares what you bring back ho.

For his own logistics, it’s easier.

If he were in the central district, he would easily attract attention.

“I’ll save so more money first.” Wu Heng replied casually.

“You can let the captain help you find a place then.”

“Sure!”

Behind them.

In another carriage.

Tulisa glanced at Autruck across from her and stated, “You got lucky!”

“The criminal your team killed last night must have fetched quite a bounty.” “No, I ant, you got lucky for having recruited such a reliable mber.” Replied Tulisa with her face full of smiles.

The second team was already full.

But the third team had the opportunity to recruit this person, but they chose soone else.

Once this news spreads back to the guild, they wondered if the third team would regret missing out on a mber who could single-handedly kill three wanted criminals.

“Mm.”

Autruck responded nonchalantly, but he was quite pleased internally.

This trip to bring the three wanted criminals back.

Would surely bring great prestige to the fourth team.
