Chapter 781: Chapter 3: Hypnotic Dreams, The Person Behind the Scenes (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3
"Make way, don’t block the road—let the team leader assess the situation!"
A few minutes later, a shout was heard, and the earlier security personnel returned, bringing with them a large group of Jin Baoshan’s thugs and three dark-skinned men.
These three men had a gleaming sharpness in their eyes and a commanding stride; it was clear they were skilled, likely Transcendents.
Seeing the horrendous scene, the three "team leaders" became slightly pale but quickly regained their composure.
"They’re probably ambushed by someone from Xinglong Manor... Sister Qiangwei isn’t here."
"Quick, secure the area; nobody leaves from now!"
"Send a message to the Supervisor immediately, tell them to gather people!"
After inspecting the bodies at the scene one by one, and issuing orders, one of the robust men nudged his hips, activated his Promotion Drive, and began sending messages.
"Uh..."
Xu Shu’s expression changed slightly, thinking that this man was likely a "Warrior."
At this moment, after finishing the communication, the team leader noticed Xu Shu’s unfamiliar face and couldn’t help but ask warily, "Who are you?"
Before Xu Shu could speak, one of the card-playing security personnel quickly responded, "Tianci Brother, this man was brought by Xiao Li; he’s here to get a ticket from Qiangwei."
Another added, "Yes, later, when we found we couldn’t open the door, that’s when we saw what happened!"
"Oh, I see," Xu Tianci nodded, examined Xu Shu carefully, and finally said, sensing his honest and handsome appearance, "Take him to the hall to wait; don’t leave for now, we’ll discuss further once the Supervisor arrives."
"Alright, Tianci Brother! You, come with me," the security personnel told Xu Shu.
This was the clever part about Xu Shu not entering the room on his own earlier; with their own people speaking for him, the team leader didn’t suspect that Xu Shu was the murderer, otherwise he couldn’t have cleared his name at this moment.
However, given the seriousness of the situation, his men took Xu Shu downstairs to the hall to keep an eye on him, letting him not leave immediately while they stayed and waited for someone from their gang to arrive.
Xu Shu was indifferent, though he could have left easily, he wanted to see if the others could catch the murderer and wondered if he might get his ticket once the Supervisor arrived.
No choice, he followed them to the hallway.
"Tianci, have you contacted anyone?" another Supervisor anxiously asked when he couldn’t find Sister Qiangwei among the bodies.
"The Supervisor replied, saying he will come soon..." Xu Tianci paused in midsentence, his pupils shrinking, as he suddenly shouted, "F**k, watch out!"
"Biaozi, get out of the way!" another cried out; both ran out, trying to rescue.
It turned out that a body, examined by the team leader, suddenly levitated.
From the severed neck, a Golden Ring Silver-Scaled Snake as thick as an adult’s arm emerged, and it spat a thick green venom directly at his head!
Li Biao had just finished searching the bodies and thought all was clear—who could have expected an attack from an enemy hidden among the corpses?
Although his comrades wanted to help, they were too far; before they could even move, the venom seemed to pierce into the back of Li Biao’s head, too late to assist him.
In this sudden and unexpected turn, it seemed Li Biao would die.
But just then, a streak of black light flew through the door, as fast as lightning and intercepting all the venom perfectly in mid-air.
Twirling in the air like a boomerang, it flew back out the door, returning to Xu Shu’s hand.
It was Black Widow’s breakthrough skill, "Eight Spider Spears"!
After reaching the Second Rank, his First Rank abilities became much more powerful. "Eight Spider Spears" could be partially deployed to reveal just one spear, its power though lesser than a full transformation, it offered the advantage of surprise and ease of use.
Li Biao, with no time to thank for saving his life, felt a shiver up his spine like he had just walked through Ghost Gatens, turned, and jumped back, firing a succession of hidden weapons.
His actions revealed him to be a First Rank "Hunter."
As Xu Tianci and another Supervisor came to help,
Xu Tianci, using the innate power of a "Warrior" like a charging rhinoceros, and the other man picked up a dagger and spun it quickly in his hand, slicing towards a vital part of the snake in movements typical of a "Martial Artist."
The Golden Ring Silver-Scaled Snake’s face displayed an almost human expression of deep resentment and venomously stared at Xu Shu.
There’s a common belief that snakes are vengeful; some even say that if someone provokes a venomous snake, it might stealthily follow them home to bite them. This indicated it vividly remembered Xu Shu who spoiled its plan.
After revealing its true form, the snake was surprisingly big, measuring three to four meters, thick and large, hiding within a corpse without being noticed until now.
It twisted its body, showing no interest in fighting and immediately dashed towards the window with astonishing speed, leaving afterimages, avoiding the trio’s attacks.
As the Silver-Scaled Snake was about to escape, Xu Shu, standing at the doorway, slowly curved his lips into a smile and muttered softly, "Burst."
As soon as the words fell, there was a snapping sound; the Silver-Scaled Snake fell from mid-air, curling into a ball on the ground, emitting painfully desperate hisses.
