Chapter 136: Hide and Seek (Part one)

Even if Shen Yao was stupid, she could still feel that something was wrong. When she was dragged down the stairs by Ran Jing, she anxiously asked, “What about Xu Cheng? We can’t just leave him.”

Ran Jing: “He has all kinds of means to get out of the situation, and us being present would only hinder him. Now, it’s a sensitive period so the assassins would for sure kill everyone at the scene, so he would only be worry-free if we leave him.”

Before Shen Yao could talk again, Ran Jing heard someone coming up the stairs and immediately shushed her.

At that moment, the two arrived at the 10th floor and walked right past a guy in a trench coat.

At first, Shen Yao didn’t feel anything was off, but when she walked past him, she caught a glimpse of the scar on that man’s face. She immediately felt a chill down her spine upon realizing that he was a killer!

Ran Jing helped her stay on her feet with her arm around her shoulder so she didn’t appear too scared and expose themselves. The killer just glanced at the two of them and continued to go upstairs.

A while after that killer left, Shen Yao hurriedly wanted to say something, but Ran Jing immediately covered her mouth because another batch of assassins were coming up. This time, there were 4 of them. Shen Yao’s pupils enlarged and she couldn’t be more worried. So many people came to take Xu Cheng’s life, would he be fine?

The two controlled their emotions really well and pretended to be just some random home owners here, not paying too much attention to the killers. The killers also briefly glanced at them and let them through.

After exiting the building, Shen Yao immediately grabbed onto Ran Jing’s clothes and said, “Those people are assassins, right?”

Ran Jing nodded. “Xu Cheng probably knew there would be danger tonight, and that was why he kicked us out.”

“Ah, I thought he was really chasing us out, how could I have been so stupid!” Shen Yao nervously said, “Let’s call the police first, I think Xu Cheng’s going to be in trouble with so many people after him.”

Ran Jing said, worried as well, “There were even more. The five people we saw was just one stairway. If they already tampered with the elevators, then they would probably have people block the other stairway in the condo. That might not be all of them too…”

Shen Yao’s face changed upon hearing this. “Oh crap, let’s call the police right now. Xu Cheng should be able to stall this out a bit.”

Ran Jing nodded and first led Shen Yao away from the condo before calling the criminal police unit over.

At the top floor, Xu Cheng rushed into his room, took out his pistol, and counted the bullets. He only had 6 rounds, and with his penetrating vision, he saw at least 9 people coming up from the two stairways. On top of that, there were at least 5 people waiting at the two stairway entrances. How did Xu Cheng know those people were here to kill him? Because each of them had a gun on them. Knowing that he wouldn’t have enough bullets, he picked up two fruit knives and hid them in his sleeves.Then, after counting when those guys would arrive, he set a timer on an alarm with an LED screen and then placed it at the most noticeable spot in the living room.

When the assassins finally arrived at the highest floor, they looked at Xu Cheng’s unit and said to their accomplices through the mic, “You sure he’s in there?”

“Yeah, his car is still here, and the power room shows his electric meter is still moving, which means he should be still in there using electricity.”

“Okay, turn off the power of his unit. I want to see how well he can see us in the dark.”

Immediately, Xu Cheng felt his entire unit’s lights go out. Then, he heard someone playing with the lock on his door. Xu Cheng submerged himself into the dark at a relatively hidden and safe corner, aiming his gun at the door.

He couldn’t be more calm at the moment. No lights? No problem. At the instant those guys opened the door, Xu Cheng had already sensed how many of them there were and what positions they were in through the feedback from the ultrasonic waves.

The seemingly dark environment was as clear as day in his mind.

The instant that the assassin in the lead cracked the door open slightly, the light shone in from the corridor, and pa, he got headshotted!

The momentum of the bullet thrusting into that guy’s forehead caused him to fall backward into his colleagues’ chest, and that dead look with his eyes still wide open directly scared the other assassins.

Holy fack, that shot!

Just one shot, and a guy got headshotted.

Immediately, the other 8 people quickly pushed the door open and rushed inside, closing the door after them to resume the pitch black environment. They thought that if they couldn’t see Xu Cheng, then Xu Cheng couldn’t see them.

But was that the case though?

Even if that was the case, the 8 killers who came in completely didn’t know the new layout of this unit since Xu Cheng had a complete renovation done after moving in. On top of that, Xu Cheng had a big ultimate skill, and that was, even though he also couldn’t see well in a pitch black room, the ultrasonic waves he used was not inferior to his eyes. As someone that could accurately hit flying targets with a blindfold on, these 8 killers were really here to die!

The eight killers moved around the room in a formation. The moment they detected Xu Cheng’s whereabouts, with their reflexes and accuracy, they would for sure shoot Xu Cheng into a kitchen strainer. Or so they thought.

Although Xu Cheng couldn’t see, based on the ultrasonic feedback, he knew very well the whereabouts of those 8 people and what they were doing. When the eight of them moved towards him, he was also slowly moving.

He didn’t run or hide, instead he actually took advantage of the darkness and slowly moved towards them as well.

No one noticed that as the eight of them moved slowly into the unit along the wall, Xu Cheng already rotated behind them like a ghost. Suddenly, Xu Cheng reached out from behind to cover a killer’s mouth and sliced open his throat with a fruit knife. The “gudong gudong” sound of blood gushing out caught the others’ attention as they immediately turned around and began firing at the direction the sound came from!

Xu Cheng already left the guy standing in front of him as he rolled into a pitch black corner.

Under the bullet shower, the one that got shot until he looked like a strainer wasn’t Xu Cheng, but their colleague. Someone finally said in a deep voice, “Stop.”

Then, he walked over and touched the clothes of the guy that died. It was a trench coat!

If someone were to turn on the light right now, they would shockingly find that Xu Cheng was right near them. With the pitch dark room, no one could see the others, other than Xu Cheng, who could see everyone.

Leaning against the wall, by the corner, he took out his cellphone. He threw the phone to the ground in front of those seven killers, and when the phone hit the ground, it not only made a sound, but the screen also lit up.
