Chapter 505

~7 min read 1,387 words

Walking down the street.

Many people were discussing information about the Wings of Time.

To avoid being targeted, Ning Chen used a skill he had never employed before.

Disguise · Stalker (Functional Effect).

Because this ability had not been used for a long time, it had gathered a layer of dust within the system.

When Ning Chen activated this skill.

He felt as if a layer of soft material covered his face; it was very comfortable, and his muscles seemed to have all become active, changing rapidly.

This sensation brought Ning Chen no discomfort whatsoever.

Instead, it felt just like receiving a beauty treatment at a salon.

Comfortable and relaxing.

Soon, after this sensation had lasted for three minutes.

It finally stopped.

Ning Chen looked in the mirror; he had completely become a different person, no longer the handsome face of before, but a very ordinary, common face.

There was nothing special about it.

Ning Chen reached out and touched his face; this was entirely his own skin, with no other substance assisting it.

This made Ning Chen greatly surprised.

He never expected this skill to be so powerful!

This can't be called a disguise anymore, can it?

This is face-swapping!

Ning Chen suddenly remembered a title.

The Faceless Man.

One who can freely change their face and alter their appearance.

This ability is truly too powerful.

"Ahhh!" Ning Chen practiced making sounds.

But unfortunately.

The voice did not change along with the face; it remained the same as before.

However, that was a matter of no consequence.

Being able to change one's facial features is already a very impressive skill.

Then.

Ning Chen looked again at the system's notification.

【Skill Disguise · Stalker (Functional Effect) activated. Duration: twelve hours. Cooldown: three hours. During the skill's activation, the host may revert to their original appearance at any time, but if affected by external factors, the skill state will end.】

【Each use fixes a single appearance; no secondary changes are allowed. Please use cautiously, host!】

Looking at the system's notification.

Ning Chen felt no surprise.

Such an ability could not be too overpowered.

If it could last a lifetime, what then?

The time limit actually made Ning Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

Because changing into another person for a long time could very likely cause one's body and mind to change as well.

One might begin to cease being the self one once was.

Thus.

Ning Chen, with a new appearance and wearing a mask, walked down the street, heading toward the direction of the Furui Building.

Just now, he had also received a message from Zhao Mengmeng.

For some reason.

The person originally scheduled to arrive at the Furui Building tomorrow had actually arrived early today.

This made Ning Chen feel a hint of something being wrong.

He looked up at the sky.

It was already nearly dark.

354. Ning Chen must die today!

"So, how do you plan to reveal your tail?" Zhang Tuo asked, looking at Jiang Le.

Jiang Le smiled: "That's simple; I already sent it out long ago."

"Oh?" Zhang Tuo looked at Jiang Le and immediately became interested. "When? How did you release it?"

Jiang Le crossed his arms and said confidently: "Do you know why I asked you to rush over today?"

Zhang Tuo shook his head.

Jiang Le explained: "Because the Ningchen Society will arrive at Dali today. I do not want him to stay here for even a second longer, so I arranged some matters."

"What matters?" Zhang Tuo asked.

Jiang Le took out a computer and showed Zhang Tuo a surveillance feed.

The situation on the screen was clearly that undercover agent, Gao Shan, reporting to his superior.

"The moment he entered the Furui Building, I received news that this fellow was an undercover agent, so I had someone arrange for him to work as security in the monitoring room. I passed some false information to him through others, thereby misleading the police," Jiang Le said leisurely.

"Just this morning, I deliberately let him hear news of your arrival. As expected, he reported it. Based on some information I possess, Ning Chen's late ex-girlfriend was a police officer; I suppose his movements are certainly under police control as well."

"That was all within Donghai City. Now he has left Dali! The live stream is off! So it is very likely that no police officers know his exact whereabouts!" Zhang Tuo interjected. "However, Ning Chen very likely has police friends helping him, which is why you leaked the information, luring him to the Furui Building himself."

"That's right!" Jiang Le snapped his fingers. "I just told him that something was happening at the Furui Building. If the police really sent him this message, then without a doubt, he would definitely come. Moreover, it can be deduced that the Furui Building might be the headquarters of the Dalie Bay family branch!"

"Brilliant! Truly brilliant!" Zhang Tuo gave Jiang Le a thumbs-up. "I never expected a talent like you to be willing to bow your knee in a small place like Dalie. You should return to Chiang Mai with me; that is where you can truly spread your wings."

The look Zhang Tuo cast at Jiang Le had changed. It was no longer the previous disdain and contempt, but rather admiration. If he could be recruited, the power in Chiang Mai would definitely expand very quickly.

There would be no more suppression or frame-ups from other organizations.

Hearing these words, Jiang Le only smiled and shook his head, saying, "A small scheme, not a grand strategy. I just played a little trick."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Tuo laughed. "You are too modest. If I were you, upon knowing someone was a mole, I would have shot him dead long ago. I would absolutely not have left him until the second day, but instead, like you, used false intelligence to exploit him."

Gui Feng smiled and said, "Use your brain, and you can do anything. It is merely a matter of wanting to or not wanting to."

Zhang Tuo looked up at Gui Feng. Although Gui Feng's body was very thin and small, he had always given Zhang Tuo a sense of spiritual pressure.

It was as if the instinct for survival was telling him that this man was extremely dangerous.

However, this feeling was even stronger regarding Hua Nu.

So.

Zhang Tuo was completely unafraid of these two guys opposite him.

But looking at the situation now, if conflict could be avoided, it was better not to start one.

After all, no one could guarantee.

That Hua Nu could completely protect himself.

"Now, what is Ning Chen's situation?" Zhang Tuo asked.

Jiang Le pulled up Ning Chen's live broadcast screen, which was already pitch black.

"As you can see, Ning Chen has already entered the Dalie area. My men cannot find his trace, but I have a strong feeling that even if we do nothing, he will come to Zhaoshang Sect himself." Jiang Le looked at Zhang Tuo and smiled confidently.

Zhang Tuo chuckled lightly, then spoke: "Very well. If it is truly as you say, then we must face Ning Chen. Do not hold back your strength; everyone attack together. Otherwise, if Ning Chen picks us off one by one, what awaits us is death."

"Did he really kill more than twenty people with just a single knife? And that too while they were all holding submachine guns?" Gui Feng couldn't help but ask.

Martial force is the root of solving their problems.

But if they cannot make the other side submit through martial force, then what will be destroyed is them.

Zhang Tuo answered, "That's right. It is just that terrifying. He is simply not human."

"The one beside you should not be considered human either, right?" Gui Feng looked at Hua Nu and said.

Zhang Tuo pondered for a while, then smiled: "I can reveal a little to you. Simply put, it is taking drugs."

"Taking drugs can make one this strong? That's nonsense, right?" Gui Feng couldn't help but retort.

Zhang Tuo leaned back on the sofa and said leisurely, "I can only tell you this much. The rest, when your status rises, you will naturally know."

"Tch, playing coy," Gui Feng muttered quietly.

Tang Lun was dead.
