As the nine people were happily discussing their plans, they didn't notice that two women were sitting at the table next to them, having heard their entire scheme.
They were inexperienced, after all, and didn't even bother to be discreet when discussing such matters.
Tao Qingqing and Hu Youling felt a bit disappointed when they saw these nine individuals.
These nine guys didn't look like evil, bloodthirsty monsters. They weren't on the Containment Facility's capture list, so the two of them had come for nothing.
But after hearing their plan, the two of them changed their minds.
If they truly intended to kill someone, then they should intervene.
After the group of nine briefly finalized their plan, they were led by An San to the victim's location.
Their target was a residential area on the outskirts of New York City, an area filled with small villas.
In the Washington D.C. region, such places were only affordable for the wealthy. In the North American region, such a house was merely standard for an ordinary family.
Hu Youling and Tao Qingqing followed behind this group with slightly strange expressions.
Previously, they would capture monsters while they were executing their evil plans. This time, however, they had witnessed the entire process of the monsters formulating their evil plan.
Furthermore, these nine individuals were too unprofessional. They had no counter-surveillance capabilities at all and didn't even realize they were being followed.
...
With the curtains half-drawn, a thin young man stood by the window, looking out with gloomy eyes.
His skin was very pale, as if he had never been exposed to sunlight, and his head was larger than normal.
The television in the room was playing the news, showing a report about a criminal being acquitted.
He knew he was responsible for it, and others knew too, but because there was no conclusive evidence, he could only be released.
The lawyer defending the criminal was speaking eloquently on camera, as if he had advanced judicial progress, appearing extremely righteous.
Others might have truly believed this narrative, but the young man knew how much money he had received privately and what his state of mind was when he took it.
The young man turned his head to look at the television and shook his head slightly, "Fools indiscriminately spread their foolish ideas, and even more foolish people believe them implicitly."
"Justice and righteousness compromise with reality, calling it helplessness, while the guilty sing praises in the spotlight, treating it as natural."
"This world has been like this for countless years, it is like this now, and it is like this in other worlds too, it has always been like this, never changing." Sudan Novel Network
Hidden by the shadows of the curtains, the young man smiled exaggeratedly, "I like this world, I like watching their downfall, so that I can..."
His brows suddenly furrowed, "Why are these idiots here? Are they coming for me?"
"Wait, there are others following behind them."
The young man took two steps back, pondered for two seconds, then sat on a chair and took a double-barreled shotgun from a drawer.
Due to cultural reasons, among all the federal regions, only the North American region was not completely disarmed. Citizens could legally own hunting rifles and small-caliber handguns, so shooting incidents often occurred among the populace.
However, this was much better than before the federation was established. Back then, the North American region was practically a gun battle paradise for people worldwide.
The young man took out the hunting rifle, not to fight, but simply to pose as a victim.
The group of nine arrived in front of the house and gathered together, whispering.
"This incident is the first operation of our Heaven, Earth, and Human Nine Immortals. There absolutely cannot be any mistakes. We must kill this person."
Xia Si, Xie Wu, and Bei Liu drooled. They had long wanted to taste human flesh.
Hiding behind, Tao Qingqing rolled her eyes, "Heaven, Earth, and Human Nine Immortals? These losers actually have quite a reputation."
Qing Jiu took a deep breath and then exhaled a strange smell. This smell rolled into the surrounding houses, causing people nearby to cough incessantly, and they all left their homes.
After clearing the area, Xie Wu slapped the young man's door. The young man's door was directly smashed open, and the nine of them entered the room one by one.
The young man feigned terror, "You, what are you here for?"
"We're here to kill!" An San said excitedly.
"Kill, kill, we want to kill!" The others chimed in, their expressions very excited.
"Oh..."
The young man sighed and fired a shot, causing An San to stumble back a few steps and tumble out the window.
"Run quickly, or you'll be eaten!"
"Humans are truly terrifying."
"Wow, Mom, my ears are almost deafened."
The remaining eight monsters, crowding each other, left the house through the doors and windows.
An San, who had been shot, also looked at the bullet hole on his chest, got up, and followed his siblings.
The young man was stunned. These were nine monsters, how could they be scared away by a single shot? This was just a regular hunting rifle, it couldn't even hurt these guys...
"How fragile do I look to be targeted by these guys?"
Tao Qingqing and Hu Youling also found it both amusing and exasperating. They hadn't expected that after following for so long, it would turn out to be a group of clowns scared away by a hunting rifle.
However, if they didn't have such personalities, they wouldn't have been in the real world for so long, and they would still think killing was a world-shattering matter.
Although this group was comical, Tao Qingqing and the two of them still prepared to follow them. At the very least, they had to educate them and prevent them from having any more murderous thoughts.
After running a distance, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Nine Immortals gathered together, patting each other on the back to calm their nerves.
"Fortunately, we ran fast and acted convincingly. That human just now was truly terrifying," Bei Liu said with lingering fear.
The others also nodded. Although their strength was not great and their personalities were coarse, perhaps it was precisely because of these personalities that they had a perception of danger beyond that of ordinary monsters.
Just as the young man opposite them raised his gun, they felt as if they were facing an unparalleled terrifying entity, something that surpassed all the superhumans they had ever seen. Even the mere thought of it gave them goosebumps.
However, that monster apparently didn't like to expose its identity, so they pretended to be foolish and escaped.
As the nine were preparing to flee further, they discovered that the road entrances on both sides were blocked by women.
The woman on the left had crimson eyes and sharp fangs in her mouth, while the woman on the right was incredibly beautiful, with several fluffy tails behind her.
Both women exuded a powerful aura, making the Heaven, Earth, and Human Nine Immortals tremble.
For them, fighting was not an option, so they prepared to escape through the sky.
But before they could prepare their flight technique, they saw a colossal snake, several meters thick, coiled on the rooftop, its cold eyes staring at them emotionlessly.
"Surrender, we surrender!"
The nine people raised their hands in unison.
