Chapter 105: A Moment of Terror

A small marble shot out from the ventilation duct, knocking away the black needle; the black needle bounced against the wall and turned into a wisp of gray smoke, while the marble bounced back into Li Hao's hand. Seeing the assassination fail, the statue let out a muffled sound and lunged at A Youyou, but a small black dot flew out, and its body suddenly stiffened as if electrocuted, collapsing limply to the ground.

Li Hao, in the ventilation duct, scanned the crowd with his Mental Power, found nothing unusual, and left silently.

Damn it, it's a bit troublesome to crawl through holes when one's body is a bit big. Thinking back to when I was a kid, crawling through pipes was a breeze. Damn, my clothes got torn, what a loss.

Su Yu was the first to rush in. Seeing the person on the ground, she immediately blocked A Youyou, and the bodyguards also went up to check, but they discovered that the person disguised as a statue on the ground had already taken poison and killed themselves.

Su Yu's eyes were murderous as she hugged A Youyou, "Are you alright? We are leaving Earth immediately, the concert is canceled."

"Aunt, I'm fine. This must be a fanatical fan. Call the police, but the concert must continue. Many people traveled here from all over Earth, and even from other planets; we can't just disband like this."

A Youyou had already calmed down from the panic, her eyes sweeping toward the ventilation duct.

"A Youyou, safety first, what is this!"

Su Yu didn't care about such losses at all.

"Aunt, this isn't the first time for fanatical fans, it's fine. Besides, the security check beforehand was thorough; I just didn't expect someone to pose as a statue for so long. It will be fine outside."

A Youyou persuaded her.

Su Yu frowned. The fans who came this time had their identities verified and passed security checks, and the staff and team were all their own; only the venue was rented, and it had been checked beforehand. Ignoring this statue, this person had probably been hiding for a long time.

"Be careful yourself, keep the security close, highest alert. A Youyou, this is no joke, your Mental Power is very sensitive; if you notice anything wrong, come down immediately."

"I know, Aunt, I'm really fine, I'm about to go on stage."

A Youyou had a small marble hidden in her palm.

Li Hao had already returned to his seat, having successfully completed the mission. It's a pity that Bleem is such a miser; I've never seen a boss stingier than him. He didn't even know to send a red envelope or something after the job was done.

It's a pity, the angle just now only allowed a view of a profile. Arths is also hailed by many media as the most perfect woman in this world; the ones on TV and in photos completely fail to express the beauty of the real person. Everyone believes that Arths's genes highlight the charm of human women.

The concert continued, and Arths showed no signs of having just been "assassinated." Of course, Li Hao acted in time, so they might not even realize what happened, but the police had arrived, and subsequent investigations would reveal something was wrong, but that would be none of his business.

There was a "Sing with Arths" segment later in the concert, and three of Arths's fans were chosen. I have to say, the three sang exactly like the real person, and their high notes were quite professional. At first, everyone who heard it believed it was real, but when Arths

opened her mouth, everyone instantly felt the huge difference. That was the one and only Arths, her Angel Soul Singing Method, improved to an incredible degree. But when the four appeared together, the whole venue erupted. These three amateurs were also selected from the fans

and fulfilled their wish to sing with Arths.

The entire concert had one climax after another, and the fans were clearly having a blast. Of course, the police backstage and the follow-up matters would be a bit busier, but the concert finally ended successfully.

Poor Li Hao, he didn't dare to listen too carefully to the later performances. This stuff is toxic; once you listen, you get sucked in, completely forgetting where you are. Whenever there was dancing, he would look for A Youyou. There were a few figures that looked quite similar, but the chaotic lights and distance made it impossible

for Li Hao to distinguish them. It definitely wasn't her. Could it be that he missed her when he was distracted?

In the lounge, Su Yu's expression remained serious.

"Boss, that person wasn't a fan. We just scanned the biological features; he was a Moon Person, a member of the Doomsday Cult on the dark web, a bunch of lunatics who assassinate celebrities and preach the end of the world. He used a specially made Gray Transformation Needle, which is highly toxic."

The security team leader pointed to a small

hole on the wall and said that there was a Flame Meteor tattoo on the assassin's back.

Li Hao didn't call the police; the police are of little use in such matters, and once the concert ends, Zuo Xiaotang will leave immediately and won't have time to mess around here.

Hearing about the Doomsday Cult, Li Hao couldn't help but frown. Since ancient times, cults have never ceased. With the development of technology, this force has not only not died out but has become even crazier. A while ago, during the UP, he received a message from this so-called Doomsday Cult,

saying that Arths was their destined Saintess who would lead the followers to eternal life. Of course, Li Hao wouldn't pay attention to these lunatics, and he even investigated them. They still have great influence on the Moon, and he had conducted an investigation and crackdown on this organization for a period of

time. He didn't expect that they would actually chase a killer to Earth.

It seems he can't return to the Moon for the time being. The organization's headquarters is on the Moon, and it needs further strikes. Li Hao has no intention of reasoning with lunatics. Provoking Arths is provoking the wrong person; the idol identity is just Li Hao's interest and profession.

"Are you trying to say that Arths only escaped by luck?"

Panis knew that the boss must be extremely angry right now. If he didn't produce something, he would be finished. "Boss, someone intervened to save Miss Arths. The Gray Transformation Needle missed by a lot; it must have been knocked away by some object, and someone used a certain technique to precisely strike

his neck pain point, directly dismantling his mobility. There is an expert protecting the young lady; the other party should be hiding in the ventilation duct."

Li Hao looked silently at the dismantled, empty ventilation duct. On one hand, he was fearful, and on the other, he was angry at the amateurishness of the security. To think that someone could hide there disguised as a statue—he didn't know how this person got in or when they got in. Fortunately, Zuo Xiaotang was blessed by fate.

And who saved Zuo Xiaotang?

Was it a coincidence or premeditated? And what was the other party's intention?

The killer's back of the neck had a depression, the cervical spine was broken, and that position is one of the pain points of the body in the Maka Technique. As long as it is struck precisely, it will instantly dismantle mobility. Li Hao is also a combat expert; he certainly understands this point. It wasn't a gun, it wasn't a small weapon. Looking at

that arc-shaped depression, it should be some kind of small spherical object.

Two hours later, the concert ended perfectly, and the fans in the whole venue responded to Arths with the most enthusiastic cheers.

A Youyou was so excited she didn't know who she was anymore, pulling Su Yu and howling, jumping and hopping all the way.

"Hao Ge, don't get dizzy from the excitement. I feel like if I gave you a plow right now, you could plow ten acres of land."

"Hao Ge, this is the happiest day of my nineteen years. God, thank you!"

The sense of satisfaction in Zuo Xiaotang's heart had already overflowed, and she squinted her big eyes happily.

The fans coming out around them were still enthusiastically smiling, shouting wildly. There were even five fans, shirtless, each with a letter carved on their bodies, adding up to exactly ARTHS, yelling at the cameras outside.

Zuo Xiaotang joined the fans' carnival activities. Tonight would definitely be a sleepless night for them. "Hao Ge, I'm going to the bar with everyone. Do you want to go together?"

"You go, I have things to do!"

Su Yu couldn't wait for the lightbulb Zuo Xiaotang to leave quickly.

The little fatty slipped away happily.

"Aiyouyou, can you slip out?"

Su Yu sent a message to Zuo Xiaotang. It was already very late, and she wasn't sure.

On the other side, the security personnel were on high alert. Li Hao had already calmed down. The cult's power in the USE is very weak, unlike the Moon's system which gave them so much space; it's actually safer here. And Zuo Xiaotang's hidden identity was clearly not discovered, and

she needed to set up a layout to see if there was any follow-up.

When Zuo Xiaotang returned, the scene had already been cleaned up. Looking at her serious-looking aunt, she hesitated to speak.

"Zuo Xiaotang, if you have something to say, just say it. Pack your things in a while, private plane home."

Li Hao said.

"Go back, Aunt? That's too rushed. I haven't finished finding the feeling yet, I can't go back."

"No, it's too dangerous here. I'm even more worried about you going to Tianjing Martial Arts alone."

"You are Arths, you are Zuo Xiaotang, your makeup skills are seamless, and you are even adept at changing your aura; no one will recognize you. Aunt, there have been few doubts about you lately, saying you are resting on your laurels, only capable of singing love songs, and haven't made progress in years. You want to break through."

"A bit."

Ding Zhenming grabbed Li Hao's hand and shook it back and forth.

"Stop shaking, you're making me dizzy. Honestly, what is his relationship with this Ding Zhen?"

Ding Zhen said.

"Friends, the ones I made at Tianjing Martial Arts, and of course there are others, like A Youyou, and Senior Sister Sheng Man, and so on. Aunt, I know what you're worried about, it won't happen. Besides, am I not supposed to make friends for the rest of my life, or can I only make friends you designate? That's impossible. I have my own judgment; that is my bottom line!"

Zuo Xiaotang said earnestly.

Li Hao looked at Zuo Xiaotang, "As long as you have a sense of it, that's fine. I agreed to this because I trust you. You know this isn't me trying to control you."

"Of course, you are my dearest aunt, give me a kiss!"

"Cut it out, let's talk business. It was just found out that this person is a member of the Doomsday Cult who harassed you a while ago. I've had the family deal with it over on the Moon. During this time, stay safely at Tianjing Martial Arts. Put on your makeup and head out in a bit; I'll have a body double prepared here."

"Come over, let's talk business. It was just found out that this person is a member of the Doomsday Cult who has been harassing him for some time. Have the family deal with them over here on the Moon. He will stay safely at Tianjing Martial Arts for a while, and he will go out in disguise later; I will have a body double prepared for that."

"It's fine, it's better to be prepared. The focus should be on the Moon, but you still need to be careful. I'll have someone send you off in a moment."

"No, absolutely not, wouldn't that give me away? I'll change my clothes, put on makeup, and blend directly into the crowd; that way it will be seamless."

Ding Zhenming immediately suggested.

Li Hao shook her head, still feeling quite uneasy.

"I'm with two of my classmates, they are still waiting for me. Both are members of the Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts Team, top-tier level, very safe."

Ding Zhen rolled her eyes. To dare to brag about 'top-tier level'—Tianjing Martial Arts is just so-so, but those two are indeed team members, so their skills won't be bad. They are much stronger than ordinary bodyguards; that is an unexpected gain.

Ding Zhen rolled his eyes; they even dared to brag about that being top-tier level, Tianjing Martial Arts was just so-so, but those two were indeed team members, so their skills wouldn't be bad, much stronger than ordinary bodyguards; that was an unexpected gain.

"Alright, alright, Aunt, nagging will make you old. I'm going to go get dressed up now."

Zuo Xiaotang ran off in a trot.

"Senior, find a place to wait for me, I'll take off my makeup and be there in a moment!"

Zuo Xiaotang also felt a sense of joy in being set free. Just now she was truly worried about having to go back immediately; it was hard to get out, and she really didn't want to go home.

Zuo Xiaotang did not feel any sense of liberation either; just now he was truly worried about having to go back immediately, as it had been so difficult to get out that he really did not want to go home.
