Chapter 70

~7 min read 1,350 words

Ning Zhe's corpse fell to the ground with a bang, the gun barrel smelling of gunpowder hit the stair railing with a clatter, and the flashlight dropped on the ground illuminated the blood dripping all over the floor.

"Ning Zhe...?" Bai Zhi was shocked by this sudden scene and couldn't speak. She covered her mouth and nose with both hands, her wide eyes filled with fear. Bai Zhi tremblingly picked up the flashlight that had fallen on the ground, and two lines of tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.

Bai Zhi was wearing the work uniform of a gas station employee, and her loose hem cast a hazy gray shadow scattered by the flashlight, swaying slightly with the trembling of her body.

"... The special concession is not on him."

Master Yeyao's emotionless different-colored pupils swept lightly over the corpse on the ground and the shadow on the wall, and silently hid back into the shadows, without making any movement from beginning to end.

Approaching, assassinating, hiding, a set of operations flowed like water, without any hesitation or dawdling, and a life had already been harvested. This is exactly the reason for Master Yeyao's fierce reputation in the circle of Ascenders.

Heh... If you don't have some real skills, how are you qualified to come into contact with big figures at the level of 'Tu Yu'?

Master Yeyao's eyes were flowing with light, silently watching Bai Zhi, who was at a loss squatting beside Ning Zhe's corpse, without rushing to brand her with a Thought Steel Seal—using the ghost's ability requires a price.

After hesitating for a long time, Bai Zhi finally stabilized her mind, wiped away her tears, and continued to walk upstairs with her mobile phone and flashlight.

That's right, little girl, take me to find the last remaining person. Master Yeyao hid in the shadows, silently following Bai Zhi's footsteps upstairs. He can now be completely sure that the special concession is not in the hands of Ning Zhe or Bai Zhi. His goal is the woman named Feng Feng Yushu who has been trapped in the hospital since yesterday.

The girl's pattering footsteps echoed in the stairwell. Perhaps because she focused all her attention on Bai Zhi, perhaps because the visibility in the pitch-black hospital was really not high, or perhaps the excitement of being about to get the special concession to solve her own death crisis made him neglect some things... Master Yeyao, who was following Bai Zhi, didn't notice that the man's corpse lying on the first floor, which had been blown beyond recognition by the shotgun, had the work card of Hengsha Ecological Park hanging on its neck.

It's just that this work card was stuffed into the collar, and only a rope was exposed on the outside.

A few minutes after Bai Zhi went to the second floor, the corpse disappeared, leaving only a pool of dark red blood that had not dissipated for a long time.

"Mom, I'm on the second floor, where are you?" Bai Zhi put on her headphones and dialed Feng Feng Yushu's phone to ask in a low voice.

Master Yeyao didn't hear what the response from the other end of the phone was. He only saw Bai Zhi breathe a sigh of relief as if she had found support, pointed the flashlight in her hand at the sign above the door frame of the second-floor department, and began to look for something in one department after another.

It seems they have already agreed on a meeting place.

Bai Zhi kept the phone connected while running forward, panting and saying: "Mom, Ning Zhe can't come to find you with me, he... he's dead. I don't know what rule he violated, or he just couldn't hold on, he shot himself in the head.... I'm so scared now, will we also be like Ning Zhe, dying in this hospital for no reason?"

After all, she is a little girl who has not experienced the world. Even after experiencing the strange events of Bishuiwan Manor, witnessing a death descending beside her still caused a not-so-small impact on Bai Zhi. There was a hint of crying in her words, like a helpless little girl crying to her mother for a hug after being bullied by her peers.

Almost there.

Seeing Bai Zhi's footsteps slow down, Master Yeyao couldn't help but hold his breath. The meeting place for the mother and daughter seemed to be not far away, and Feng Feng Yushu was about to appear.

A pair of different-colored eyes with flowing light narrowed slightly in the darkness. Master Yeyao curled up in the darkness, waiting for the appearance of the special concession.

Bai Zhi stopped outside the ENT clinic, raised her right hand, and pointed the flashlight in her hand at the sign above the door frame.

"It seems to be here..." Bai Zhi muttered, and her whole person seemed to relax. Master Yeyao's line of sight turned away from the girl, staring at the inside of the ENT clinic door. Just as Feng Feng Yushu appeared, the Thought Steel Seal that would make her commit suicide immediately would be covered immediately. But suddenly—

Bai Zhi's right hand holding the flashlight turned a smooth arc in the air, shining the scattered white light towards the corridor behind her.

"Oh no!"

A strong sense of crisis surged into Master Yeyao's heart, but human reaction is never faster than the speed of light. Before he could make any response to Bai Zhi's actions, the colorless light spilled on the tiles, projecting the figure of a man maintaining a crouching posture onto the ground.

"Huh?" Bai Zhi showed a look of doubt, because under the illumination of the flashlight, only the outline of a human shadow appeared, but the owner of this shadow—the man crouching on the ground, did not appear in the corridor.

The corridor was empty, with only Bai Zhi and the pitch-black shadow in front of her.

At this moment, a crisp sound of high heels hitting the tiles reached Master Yeyao's ears.

Click—

A graceful noblewoman holding an exquisite parasol appeared silently behind Master Yeyao, and a toe wrapped in high heels quietly stretched out and stepped lightly on his crouching shadow.

Instantly, the pain as if the brain was torn apart spread through the nerves, and the twisted and painful groans were like coming from the abyss of hell, stinging the human meninges.

Feng Feng Yushu's left foot was neither biased nor slanted, just stepping on the head position of the man's shadow. The slender toe was like a sharp nail, and the shadow under her feet was a live snake pierced through the body and nailed to the wall. It twitched violently, twisted, and let out a heart-piercing painful howl.

However, this howl did not last long. The nailed snake broke free from the nail that pierced its body and tore a large piece of bloody meat from the wound.

The already scarred human shadow had another gap in the head position, escaped from the illumination range of the flashlight at a very fast speed, and quickly disappeared in a dark corridor.

"He ran away." Bai Zhi puffed out her cheeks, a little annoyed: "Why didn't the special concession kill him?"

"Maybe because I'm not your mom." Ning Zhe put down the parasol in his hand, and the mature woman's plump and perfect body was wearing a long dress with a waist, turning back into the shirt and trousers he originally wore: "If the real special concession were here, he would probably be dead already."

—When Master Yeyao thought that Ning Zhe on the other end of Bai Zhi's phone was Feng Feng Yushu, he really was Feng Feng Yushu.

And the 'Feng Feng Yushu in Master Yeyao's cognition' holds the instant death rule · special concession.

"So what we need to care about now is..." Ning Zhe thought for a while and said: "Why did that person just have a shadow but no body?"

Where did his body go?
