Chapter 44

Chapter 44: She Was Like a Demon in the Night

The cold and deadly atmosphere drifted through the empty space before the staircase.

The moment Bai Fu had protected Anya behind her, she used a Spirit Vision skill on the assassin across from her.

The skill check succeeded, and the opponent’s basic data was quickly fed back to her.

【Name】: Elite Assassin (Elite)

【Template】: Ordinary

【Primary Occupation】: Wilderness Hunter Lv3 [Sub-occupation Wanderer Lv10 (Max Level)]

【Secondary Occupation】: None

【Health Points】: 260/260

【Attributes】: Strength 15, Agility 21, Constitution 13, Intelligence 5, Spirit 9, Inspiration 8

【Skills】: Mobile Shooting Lv3, Dual Guns Patrol Lv2, Precision Burst Lv1, Hound Step Lv2, Intermediate Marksmanship Specialization

【Talent】: Scavenger

【Affinity】: Contempt (-13)

【Danger Level】: Green

After reading the data, Bai Fu’s lips curled slightly.

So they just called him an Elite Assassin because he’s an elite enemy? This naming is rather casual.

However, despite the casual name, this Elite Assassin’s attributes ranked third among all opponents she had encountered, only behind Youlia and Number Nine after his mutation.

With an agility of 21, if he were to unleash a full burst, he could definitely leave a trail of afterimages like the ultra-fast boss in the game Dinosaur King.

Not only is he fast, but this Elite Assassin also has three gun-related skills and one movement skill, making him a natural-born killer.

If his target was Xia Shi, even with Xia Shi’s so-called protagonist-level luck buff, he would still be in grave danger.

Unfortunately for him, he ran into me!

Bai Fu thought to herself.

The Spirit Vision skill rated the Elite Assassin as green, meaning he was weaker than her, which was quite accurate.

She pulled up her own attribute panel.

【Health Points】: 770/770

【Spirit Energy】: 115/115

【Attributes】: Strength 11, Agility 7, Constitution 37, Intelligence 5, Spirit 14, Inspiration 23

Bai Fu believed that if the Elite Assassin across from her had a similar Spirit Vision skill, he wouldn’t be laughing now.

【You’re right, but this is Bai Fu, HP 770, Constitution 37. An elite among elites with zeal, hardening, and the ability to steal buffs using chain reactions. With soft and hard control, and only needing 20 Spirit Energy. When using Spirit Boiling, her basic attacks come with extra damage, no cooldown, and enjoy critical hit bonuses. Controlling in battle means ah ah ah ah ah!】

If not for protecting Anya, Bai Fu would have already charged at the Elite Assassin and shown him what full power looks like!

“To kill me, you must have sent quite a few people. Aren’t you going to call your companions over?”

Bai Fu calmly looked at the assassin, trying to first find out how many people were involved.

The Elite Assassin sneered, “It doesn’t matter how many people we dispatched. All you need to know is that I alone can kill you. I am not one of those brainless mutants mass-produced by the Truth Society.”

He was very excited.

This assassination was a team effort, but only the one who kills Bai Fu will receive the most substantial reward.

A few minutes ago, since he couldn’t find Bai Fu anywhere, he thought he might have to go home empty-handed tonight. Unexpectedly, he suddenly caught a chance to kill Bai Fu alone, which made him believe today was his lucky day.

Lady Luck was smiling, and so was he.

The Elite Assassin pulled out a pistol.

Failing to extract the information she wanted, Bai Fu felt a bit annoyed but didn’t pay too much attention. She also pulled out a pistol from her thigh.

Seeing her move, the Elite Assassin laughed more heartily.

“Want to duel with me in marksmanship? You might not know that I have a nickname, the Sharpshooter. Before you hit me, I have ten ways to send you on your way!”

Bai Fu shook her head, “My gun isn’t loaded.”

“Huh?”

The Elite Assassin was momentarily confused. He didn’t understand what Bai Fu meant by that.

Why pull out an unloaded gun? To scare someone? Or are you intentionally misleading me to let your guard down?

“It seems you don’t fully comprehend the opponent you’re facing,” the Elite Assassin swiftly raised his gun. “Hahaha, can you keep up with my thoughts!”

But just as he was about to pull the trigger, something strange happened. He suddenly found that he couldn’t move his finger.

It’s over, I’m paralyzed!

The Elite Assassin’s face changed drastically.

To his surprise, Bai Fu didn’t point the gun at him but instead aimed it at her own abdomen.

Even more surprising, after Bai Fu finished her actions, his right hand uncontrollably mimicked Bai Fu’s right hand.

In that instant, the Elite Assassin seemed to understand something.

Stop, stop quickly!

He tried to stop his right hand, but no matter how hard he tried or how loudly he shouted in his mind, it was futile. He could only watch as his right hand pointed the gun at his own stomach.

Bai Fu opened her mouth and smiled, spitting out a “Bang.”

The next second, the Elite Assassin fired heavily after Bai Fu.

Once, twice, thrice… seven shots per second!

Watch closely, this is what 20 years of solo training can do!

The slightly upward bullet mercilessly pierced through the Elite Assassin’s belly, tearing his intestines apart, while the slightly downward bullet delivered true critical damage.

Blood drew a cruel arc in the air.

Two seconds passed, the battle ended, and the Elite Assassin’s body finally regained control, but the excruciating pain from the gunshot wound left him powerless to control himself anymore.

His spasms caused him to fall, his left forehead hitting the concrete floor, spraying more blood.

The Elite Assassin had no time to care about the pain; he couldn’t even scream. Luckily, he had 9 points of spirit energy, which allowed him to remain somewhat conscious and watch Bai Fu approach him step by step.

Bang!

Bai Fu pulled another gun from her thigh and shot the Elite Assassin in the head with a clean, decisive action.

【You killed the Elite Assassin, contribution 100%, experience gained after level adjustment: 4800】

The game prompt sounded.

Bai Fu wore a smile on her face.

Resolving a speed-focused opponent in two seconds, this is the power of Battle Etiquette!

She was satisfied not just with that, but also with the experience reward from the Elite Assassin. One Elite Assassin gave 4800 experience, so five would give 24000. Adding the remaining experience, she could level up again.

Bending down, Bai Fu picked up the fallen walkie-talkie and pressed the talk button.

“Hello hello.”

“You…”

The person on the other end of the walkie-talkie was stunned by the clearly female voice.

“Who are you? Are you Bai Fu, or someone else?”

Bai Fu said, “The gunshot earlier was loud, anyone nearby would have heard it. Soon, people from everywhere will rush here. You don’t have much time left to kill me.”

“Bai Fu! Don’t think you can act arrogantly after killing Scavenger with a sneak attack!”

Even a fool could tell that Bai Fu was speaking, and the assassin roared in anger.

“Are you downstairs? Don’t worry, I’ll be there soon to send you on your way!”

“I’m not in a hurry. I’ll wait downstairs for you. If you’re in a rush to reincarnate, better hurry up,” Bai Fu remained calm.

“You wait for me!”

Bai Fu’s attitude infuriated the assassin, who smashed the walkie-talkie on the ground and stomped on it until it shattered.

“The sound came from upstairs.”

Bai Fu listened carefully, hearing the sound of a door opening and hurried footsteps, indicating that there were at least two more assassins.

Two or three, it didn’t matter. After confirming that Battle Etiquette was indeed effective, she wasn’t worried at all.

She brought Anya to the corner of the cement wall, where it seemed like a dead end, but it was the only place where she could easily protect Anya.

“Boss, those killers look formidable. Shouldn’t we run first?”

Bai Fu patted Anya’s head, “Just watch me perform.”

She didn’t want to conflict with the Truth Society, but if they insisted on killing her, then her attitude towards them would be “When fate brings us together, let it be ‘safe.'”

Back when she was still a player, she had killed Greek gods countless times. If she hardened her resolve, why should she fear a powerless Truth Society?

One minute later, the two killers rushing down from upstairs finally found Bai Fu.

“I thought you fled after your threats. Looks like you have some guts, but choosing this place… Is this your grave?”

The tall killer with the broken walkie-talkie sneered, aiming his gun at Bai Fu’s leg.

He wasn’t in a hurry to kill Bai Fu immediately. After being humiliated, he wanted to torture Bai Fu properly before taking revenge.

Bai Fu calmly said, “Have you ever heard the saying, never let your guard down against the person behind you, even if that person is a trustworthy companion.”

“Huh?”

The tall killer realized the problem and quickly dodged to the left, but it was too late.

Bai Fu switched to a new Battle Etiquette, raising her gun and pulling the trigger. Instantly, gunshots rang out in front of and behind him. The bullet Bai Fu fired grazed his left arm, causing intense pain, while the bullet from behind struck his shoulder blade, making him feel as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, causing his body to involuntarily lean forward.

“Aaaaaah!”

The scream tore through the night.

As he fell, the tall killer was completely bewildered.

Just moments ago, only the short killer who was with him was behind him, so the bullet must have come from the short killer.

Realizing this, the tall killer was both angry and anxious.

“Scum, who gave you the nerve to betray the Truth Society and join Bai Fu?”

He was injured and if he were surrounded from both sides, there was no chance of survival.

The short killer was also anxious. He didn’t understand what had happened and could only keep shouting, “I didn’t mean to. My hand moved on its own.”

Damn it, can you say it wasn’t you who killed me if you’re dead and the bullet did it?

The tall killer turned to shoot the short killer.

At this crucial moment, Bai Fu stepped in.

Speechless, if they started shooting each other, wouldn’t she get less experience from eliminating them both?

To prevent the two killers from turning on each other, Bai Fu quickly shot the tall killer, causing him to drop his gun due to the intense pain.

The short killer looked at Bai Fu in shock.

Bai Fu remained composed.

No need to thank me, it’s your turn next!

Bam bam bam!

Bai Fu fired several shots at the fallen tall killer.

Massive damage numbers floated up alongside the blood, and after a few seconds, the tall killer’s body went completely still.

Bai Fu walked over confidently.

The short killer’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as he kept retreating.

“Don’t come closer, don’t come closer…”

After shouting several times, he suddenly remembered something and quickly pulled out the walkie-talkie.

“Support, send reinforcements quickly! We’re all going to die here if you don’t send help!”

The person on the other end was momentarily speechless.

Although it was sudden, he understood the situation. The assassination attempt on Bai Fu had failed, and the killers were about to be wiped out!

“Bai Fu!”

A hoarse voice came from the walkie-talkie.

“I know you’re in a hurry, but hold on. Let me finish dealing with this person first.”

Bai Fu stopped beside the tall killer and kicked him hard in the chin.

“Aaaaah—”

The tall killer, who seemed dead, was kicked by Bai Fu into the wall, emitting a piercing scream during the flight.

“Trying to fake death in front of me? That’s hilarious!”

Bai Fu retracted her foot.

Killing always comes with a game prompt. No prompt means the target is not dead yet.

“Aaaaah!”

The short killer, scared by the scene, fired three shots in quick succession.

Three bullets penetrated his chest, all hitting Bai Fu, but the imagined scene of bullets embedding themselves and blood splattering didn’t occur.

Under the dim light, the short killer saw Bai Fu release her clenched right hand.

Click click click.

The three bullets slipped from her palm, falling to the ground with a sharp noise.

“Die, die for me!”

The short killer was on the verge of mental collapse. He began firing wildly, hoping that such actions could stall Bai Fu for even a second. But when he emptied the magazine, Bai Fu hadn’t been injured at all and approached him instead.

“It seems your gun isn’t very effective.”

Bai Fu reached out and grabbed the barrel of the short killer’s gun.

“Aaa, aaa, monster, it’s a monster!”

The short killer screamed frantically.

This scream enraged the person on the other end of the walkie-talkie, “Shut up! What’s happening? Damn it, shut up!”

No matter how much he shouted, the short killer continued screaming until a few gunshots silenced everything.

Panting…

The person on the other end began breathing heavily.

“Bai Fu, do you know what you’re messing with?”

“Truth Society? You’re all trying to kill me. Do you think I’ll just let you? If you’re not convinced, come yourself. Once you’re here, you’ll understand what happened.”

“Bai Fu, you’ll regret this!” the person on the other end roared.

Bai Fu remained calm, “Threatening me? Watch your tone. I am the victor now!”

Snap!

The conversation was forcibly cut off.

Bai Fu smiled. She wasn’t bluffing. She deliberately provoked the person on the other end to lure them out.

She casually threw the walkie-talkie beside the corpse and quickly returned to Xia Shi’s room with Anya, retrieving the grenade launcher hidden under the floor. She had gotten this from the Wildfire Gang’s warehouse. Using this, she could send that person to heaven.

If one shot isn’t enough, then two!

Bai Fu arrived at the fourth-floor window and waited quietly.
