Chapter 64 - 64 64 Episodes of Deadly Crisis

64: 64 Episodes of Deadly Crisis 64: 64 Episodes of Deadly Crisis A night of a hundred demons?

What kind of game is this?

Jin Xin did not know.

The cold chill down his spine wasn’t due to the game, but rather, he senses a looming crisis.

The crisis was coming from behind!

A slight “click” resounded, sounding eerily distant in the ghost-ridden night sky.

But to Jin Xin, it was crystal clear—someone’s just pulled the trigger, but who was their target?

As the thought crossed his mind, Jin Xin immediately rolled on the spot.

He was quick, but his attacker was even faster.

With a “thud”, a bullet was fired, striking the spot on Jin Xin’s back where he was just a moment ago!

Silver light scattered in all directions.

The scattered silver light in the dark night portrayed a chilling yet beautiful picture that concealed a fatal assassination attempt.

With a painful sensation piercing through his back, Jin Xin assessed the direction from which the bullet came and found a blind spot in the attacker’s aim to hide.

Another “thud” echoed.

A spray of blood erupted as Wang Quan opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word.

A bullet had penetrated his heart.

As Wang Quan’s chest exploded with a fountain of blood, Huang Fei’s heart skipped a beat.

Upon turning his gaze to the entrance of a distant alley, he saw a figure standing with guns in hand, their gunmetal bodies gleaming under the moonlight.

The next target they were aiming at was him, Huang Fei.

In an instant, Huang Fei bolted away—he realized that Jin Xin may not intend to kill him, but the gunman seemed intent on killing everyone present.

No!

Jin Xin cried out inwardly, his voice trapped within.

He made a sudden movement to his waist.

As he watched Huang Fei in his escape, Jin Xin’s eyes filled with helplessness.

Yet another “thud” resounded!

Despite being on the run, Huang Fei was reenergized by the adrenaline rush.

He planned to sprint to the end of the alley, take a turn that would lead him to the streets where the crowd would ensure his safety.

Or so Huang Fei thought.

Next, he saw a spreading reddish haze that clouded his vision.

He didn’t know why this deadly red fog appeared in his vision, and as he stretched out his hand to wave it away, suddenly everything went dark.

“What should we do?”

Staring at Li Yawei, who had once again passed out drunk, Hai Mingzhu looked helplessly at Shen Yue.

Recalling everything Li Yawei said, Shen Yue mumbled, “Someone wants to kill her?

Why?

What does she mean by ‘many ghosts’?”

“Do you believe everything she said?” Hai Mingzhu’s trust was betrayed, and her patience for Li Yawei had worn thin.

“She’s drunk and talking nonsense.

While she’s unconscious, let’s quickly get her to her mom.”

Hai Mingzhu felt that the money for this job wasn’t worth the effort.

“What about President Jin?

Is he coming with us?

He’s been quiet for a while.”

“When he’s working, he tends to turn off his communicator,” Shen Yue explained.

“He has this habit.

He says it helps him focus.”

In the midst of their conversation, Shen Yue’s expression suddenly changed.

“It seems like President Jin has turned on his communicator.” Hai Mingzhu heard a peculiar third voice in the communicator that sounded a lot like the soft beating of a drum.

Thump…

Thump!

“What’s happening?

Is President Jin playing drums over there?” Hai Mingzhu suddenly asked.

Shen Yue’s face turned grave.

Rushing over to Li Yawei, he hoisted her across his shoulders and started running.

Hai Mingzhu was genuinely shocked; it was her first time witnessing Shen Yue so perturbed.

“There’s a sentry post 200 meters ahead.

You and Li Yawei go there and seek help from the police, stay there.” Shen Yue commanded on the run, but then he abruptly stopped.

“No, you must stick with us.

I can’t leave you and Li Yawei behind.”

“What on earth is happening?” Hai Mingzhu asked, her voice laced with anxiety and confusion.

“Jin Xin is in danger!” After uttering these words, Shen Yue immediately gestured out a “hush” and focused intently on the sounds echoing from the communicator.

Then, he cried, “Follow me!” before breaking into a run.

Jin Xin watched as a silver bullet drilled into Huang Fei’s brain.

It did not penetrate through the front but blood spurted from Huang Fei’s head.

The scene was akin to immense pressure suddenly enveloping a ripe watermelon causing the juices to seep out without causing the melon to shatter.

As his eyelids twitched, Jin Xin heard Shen Yue’s slightly ragged breathing, then abruptly he shut off the receiver.

When the receiver was on, he didn’t dare to speak.

He could only use the secret code to communicate the fatal danger to Shen Yue.

Now, the danger was not only from his side.

Shen Yue may also be in trouble.

He knocked his ear gently with his finger transmitting a drum-like sound within the earpiece.

It was all the communication he could manage.

He was using Morse code, knowing Shen Yue would understand.

He couldn’t wait for Shen Yue to arrive.

He didn’t want Shen Yue to come, but he needed to inform Shen Yue about the situation.

He didn’t want to die without a clue.

The word “die” flashed across his mind only to be instantly banished from his thoughts.

He had to survive.

He must survive!

Vociferous voices screamed in his mind, making him inhale slightly and start gathering all his focus.

In the dark alley, the sound of steps echoed, stopping around ten meters from where Jin Xin was hiding.

It’s a professional killer!

Jin Xin didn’t dare to peek as he knew the slightest movement from him could result in his head exploding like a watermelon.

The assassin was highly proficient and the distance worked in his favor.

However, for Jin Xin, the distance was a major obstacle if he wanted to engage in close combat.

The killer didn’t get any closer.

He knew Jin Xin was a tough opponent.

He didn’t want to give Jin Xin an opportunity to fight back.

He saw the bullet hit Jin Xin and decided to wait for Jin Xin to bleed out—a perfect course of action for him.

The standoff continued.

Suddenly, a piercing car horn blared from the distance.

The gunman staggered for a moment, detecting a peculiarity in the sound.

Suddenly he took a half step forward, providing him with a view of Jin Xin.

Simultaneously, a blaze of light first shone on the gunman and then soared high into the sky.

Jin Xin suddenly sprang into action.

Instead of running towards the exit of the alley like Huang Fei, he decided to attack, knowing he wouldn’t be able to outrun the silver bullet.

The blinding flashlight was waved wildly while a dagger was thrown straight at the gunman’s throat, hidden beneath the brilliant light!

In such a situation, most people would shield their eyes and panic but the gunman instantly closed his eyes and retreated while pulling the trigger, maintaining his distance from Jin Xin.

At the moment Jin Xin threw his dagger, he swiftly evaded to one side, feeling the bullet just barely grazing his ribs.

He was stricken by the opponent’s calm judgment.

Seeing a garbage can ahead as he darted out, he exerted all his force to lift it and threw it in mid-air.

He didn’t expect to hit the gunman with it.

However, he hoped the garbage falling out of the can could obstruct the gunman’s vision.

Then he turned and dashed towards the exit of the alley.

Despite the short distance of ten steps, he first feigned towards the left.

Only after hearing the “thud” of a bullet shooting past did he veer to the right.

A silver bullet exploded on the ground where Jin Xin had been a second ago.

Immediately following this, the roaring sound of a car engine echoed, and in the next moment, a streak of intense light shot into the alley.

Both the gunman and Jin Xin shut their eyes instinctively.

The gunman was clueless about this foreign source of light, but Jin Xin suddenly leaped into it.

This was the light of his rescue.

Shen Yue was here.

Shen Yue showed him the way!
