In less than half an hour, all the bodies had been collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they moved more than twenty bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, seventeen other hitmen had completely disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cleaners didn’t know that they were dead, and neither did the hitmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke, on the other hand, was feeling elated as he looked at his rapidly increasing experience and credit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Luke’s nagging, the system didn’t consider the hitmen as a collective tonight, but gave him a notification every time he killed one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty hitmen had already given him more than 10,000 experience and credit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was just the appetizer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best battleground for the Boogeyman had never been open spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villa, for example, was surrounded by dozens of meters of empty lawn. In the face of fully equipped hitmen, even Elementary Self-Healing wouldn’t be of much use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke relied completely on his stealth suit to slink around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he did this too much, the hitmen’s morale would quickly collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if Luke killed hundreds of them when they couldn’t even catch a trace of his shadow, only a lunatic would dare come and court death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he had to direct them to the battlefield most suitable for the Boogeyman so that they couldn’t keep track of the deaths of their comrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that battlefield was Harlem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were more attackers, he would gradually move north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And further down was the Clinton area, which he wanted to avoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawyer Matt’s “night” life had been a little full lately, and Luke didn’t plan to let him disrupt things; it would be bad if he got a concussion again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deafening rumble of engines, more than twenty cars rushed into Harlem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, more cars would appear every now and then. These hitmen had received real-time mission notifications, and came to intercept Luke, but nobody could stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many hitmen cursed. “F*ck, who’s giving us this rotten information?! Why did no one mention the Boogeyman’s driving skills? How are we supposed to chase him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t long before they stopped cursing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dodge Challenger, which was speeding along the street, was finally hit by a car from the side and flung into an alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The convertible that had stopped the Dodge Challenger charged out, and two people forced their way into the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they reached the Dodge Challenger, it was already empty and smoking under the hood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at each other, they carefully split up and quickly ran deeper into the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were very fast, but their steps were practically soundless, which showed that they were far more professional than ordinary hitmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds after they entered the alley, two cars arrived almost at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person got out of one car, and two people got out of the other. They looked at each other and nodded, as if they had wrapped up some discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gist of it was basically: Each side relied on their own abilities and wouldn’t attack each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t because they were all on the same page, but because this mission had been assigned by someone attached to the High Table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone became a hindrance during this mission, allowing the Boogeyman to escape, it would be reported to all the participants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, even if the Boogeyman wasn’t dead, the hindrance certainly would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Boogeyman’s track record was also made public as part of the information on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, John had killed hundreds of people in a mission a few years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, John clashed with the head of the Tarasov family last month, and more than a hundred people from the Tarasov family died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days ago, John killed more than seventy people at D’Antonio’s estate, and was heavily wounded in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unrealistic to rely on someone who would drag his peers down and wanted to hog the bounty for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best chance still was that they could only rely on luck and try to kill John when he was in a tight spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hitmen who were confident in their own abilities and were happy to hear about John’s severe injuries didn’t hesitate and joined the chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they entered the alley, more hitmen arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the cars that had been abandoned at the mouth of the alley, everybody understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the slums of Harlem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old apartment buildings were everywhere and the streets were narrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t drive fast enough here; you could even run on foot through a small gap or take a small lane to detour around and block the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the Boogeyman had abandoned the car and run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be very hard to find him once he hid here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most of the hitmen still chose to enter the area. Some simply picked up their weapons and set out on foot, while some drove around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the people on foot were good at tracking, while the drivers were trying their luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Luke’s operation to harvest points tonight had only just officially begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the red dots on his lenses, which covered the area like a huge net, Luke smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he was standing in a corner on top of an apartment building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark, however, only someone standing at a particular angle would be able to see that the air here was slightly distorted. Apart from that, this was just an empty corner of a building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, a man with a big bag on his back opened the rooftop door and stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing around the rooftop, he chose Luke’s corner and opened a big box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man took out a Titanium phone and deftly operated it. A small drone quickly rose from the box, and a surveillance feed appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke’s lips twitched. Damn, he had run into a hitman who worked more or less the same way he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy didn’t go down to look for him. Instead, he chose to carry out a search with a drone from this rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said that the hitmen who had come to kill the Boogeyman were much more skilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of people who died earlier had infrared and night vision gear. They weren’t low-level hitmen who would charge forward with just a few guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that, Luke watched as the drone aimed its camera at the hitman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was testing the drone to make sure that it was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the man drew the phone closer with a puzzled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he felt something odd about the image from the drone. There was something wrong with the image he was seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Luke saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke just happened to be in the way of the drone’s camera as it was aimed at the hitman from above.\u003C\u002Fp>",1250,"2026-06-06T03:36:16.448Z",1,"novelbin.me","4e6b5a3f0f728e638778a8effd1f37d139172f433917e486fae05938f1314ac6","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1084","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1082",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
