Zhang Ying Hao took a deep breath from his cigar, complaining: “I was already starting to go into smoking withdrawal, that was so long”

The four of them came out of the shuttle and walked down to the restaurant’s parking area.

“You did well Tong Tong, go back first” he ordered.

“Yes, boss”

Tong Tong disappeared into the darkness.

Gu Qing Shan was interested: “What rank is she in your association?”

Zhang Ying Hao answered: “She’s the 11th ranked assassin”

“Why didn’t you have the 1st ranked participate?” Anna asked, a bit dissatisfied.

Zhang Ying Hao pointed at the restaurant: “The restaurant’s chef is my 1st ranked assassin”

Anna understood: “No wonder, the food from this place is really hard to swallow, I almost couldn’t stomach them”

“That’s because you’re too picky” Zhang Ying Hao sighed and said, “my 1st ranked is a real professional chef, normally he can handle all sorts of picky eaters just fine”

“What, so in the end it was still just Gu Qing Shan and me who did all the work, you only sent out 2 assassins and that’s it?” Anna glanced at Zhang Ying Hao.

Zhang Ying Hao said nothing and clapped his hands.

Instantly, all the noises disappeared.

Inside the restaurant, the sound of chatting, laughter, the noises of the staff cleaning up plates and the waiters thoughtfully recommending dishes, even the sound of the chef hearty laugh all stopped at the same time.

The chef, Tong Tong’s parents, the villagers, the young delivery man, all of them left the restaurant and quickly headed to different directions.

The restaurant that was somewhat half-filled instantly become deserted.

Zhang Ying Hao took his Holo-Brain and ordered: “Mission’s over, bring the villagers back to where they need to be”

“Be a bit careful, we don’t want to bother them in their beauty sleep”

Anna was a bit curious and asked: “Care to explain a bit?”

“All the customers and staff are my subordinates” Zhang Ying Hao turned off his Holo-Brain and answered.

“They’re all hitmen?”

“Correct”

Anna contemplated for a bit, then asked: “What if she didn’t choose this restaurant?”

“No matter which restaurant she chose; it would’ve been the exact same”

“Why?”

“The entire village, from the village chief to that stray dog wandering the street are all hitmen, as long as she let her guard down just a little bit, anyone of them can act”

“The GPS map was tampered with from the start, her route was completely controlled by me”

“No matter where she’s going, as long as she needed to stop, she’ll arrive at this village”

“Even if she didn’t mean to stop, the shuttle’s fuel won’t allow her to keep on going”

“I also prepared another 3 sets of plan ready for action at a moment’s notice”

“From the very second she stole this shuttle; her fate was already sealed”

Anna shook her head, a bit unconvinced.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: “You’ve worked hard”

Zhang Ying Hao complained: “That truly was much more troublesome than just killing, because she’s very hard to approach, and she could teleport away at a moment’s notice, then we can’t even kill her and have to leave her alive for Ye Fei Li to kill”

“I had to make her forget where she was and concentrated fully on something else for that single moment of chance”

“For example, making her prepare to kill?”

“Right”

“You guys really did do it perfectly” Anna admitted.

“There’s room for improvement” Zhang Ying Hao answered humbly.

He then pointed at Gu Qing Shan and said: “Talk about assassination, this guy is so much more talented than everyone else, but he firmly refused to join my firm, what a waste”

Gu Qing Shan only smiled and said: “Come, let’s go watch the live broadcast”

They went onto the shuttle and left the village.

…

The world.

The countries. Numerous places.

Professionists everywhere were silently waiting.

This time, the Champion is a 4th stage Earth Elementalist, and she has a Ring of Teleportation.

Will the Murder Clown still appear?

Even if the Murder Clown appears, how will he kill her?

Holding their expectations, everyone silently waited.

Time slowly passed.

The day was about to end.

Quite a few people were starting to have a bit of hope and couldn’t stay still anymore.

Liu Shi Man is nothing, if I had eternal life, got a breakthrough, and have the Ring of Teleportation as well…

Suddenly, their desires got cut off.

The Holo-Brains that they had put out suddenly lit up at the same time.

Not just that, on large screens on skyscrapers, in the stock market, on household TVs, anything and everything that can light up, all lit up.

A figure appeared on the screens.

The Murder Clown, wearing a jet black armor with a jet black pair of dark-colored wings of light.

It stood in the air, behind it were the clouds. The wind was blowing around it, emphasizing its myth-like figure, like that of an ancient god.

But as they looked to its face, that impression was smashed through without a shred of mercy.

Seeing the stiff, cold, joyful smile it had, they remembered its frenzy kills, and an unknown feeling of eerie and fear welled up inside them all.

The Clown has come!

Everyone silently muttered to themselves.

The entire world basically stopped breathing, waiting for what happens next.

A cheerful tone came from behind the terrifying mask.

[Hello everyone, I am your faithful servant, the harvester of your lives and the source of your fears]

[You can call me the Murder Clown]

[I once told you, anyone that joins the Game of Eternal, will only have the single fate of death waiting for them]

[Now let the trial begins]

[Liu Shi Man, murdered 17 innocent people in the Game of Eternal, her crimes are unpardonable. Her sentence is death. Effective immediately]

After saying so, the Murder Clown cupped its hands and began to act as if looking for something.

The Clown’s cheerful tone suddenly became hysterical: [Where is she? I don’t see Liu Shi Man anywhere?]

The Clown acted worried, then panicked as it looked at the screen and asked: [Does anyone see her? Did anyone see her? I can’t find her, then I can’t kill her, what should I do?]

It started to fly around chaotically, then suddenly peeked its face in from under the screen like a jumpscare, giving everyone a fright.

The Murder Clown put its index up, placing it in front of its mouth.

It chuckled mysteriously, then said: [Well, then. Let us go look for Liu Shi Man]

Suddenly, the Murder Clown turned into a streak of light, diving straight down below.

Then came the sound of the sound barrier breaking, the Clown disappeared from the footage completely.

For the next few dozen seconds, the Clown was nowhere to be seen.

It left?

Just what is it doing now?

No one could understand its intention.

The scene changed.

The Murder Clown appeared on the screen again.

This time, it was grabbing a struggling person by the throat.

It was Liu Shi Man.

The blood red glow enveloped Liu Shi Man, no matter what she tried, she couldn’t escape from it at all.

They could see she was screaming, they could see her suffering, they knew she was feeling the most intense pain in the world, but they couldn’t hear a single sound.

This scene that looked like it came straight out of an old silent movie made everyone shiver.

Liu Shi Man slowly melted inside the blood red light, turning into a skeleton.

Although she’s dead, her skeletal hands were still trying to reach out of the red light, trying to escape.

This horrific scene was carved straight into everyone’s minds.

———the Champion of the Game of Eternal still got killed by the Clown after all.

While everyone was sighing, they all suddenly felt their hearts stop.

At this moment, no one could say anything and just stared at the screen.

Because they were seeing a scene that made everyone feel cold sweat on their backs.

A black little piece of flesh did not melt from the skeleton.

It was still squirming, struggling to get away.
