The room was filled with a mix of air freshener and a strong, metallic scent of blood.
At that moment, the landlady, who was supposed to collect the rent, sat on the sofa in the living room. A thumb-sized hole had appeared in her forehead, and her vacant eyes were fixed intently on Ye Kai.
Behind the sofa lay a glaring pool of red, which Ye Kai could see clearly. A middle-aged man, around thirty, lay there with his face turned to the side, also sporting a hole in his forehead.
"Well, look at you, so quiet and obedient. I almost feel bad about sending you off like this!" The Seductive Woman sauntered over to the beige sofa, stretched lazily, and let out a soft giggle as she slowly sat down next to Liuli Li.
Ye Kai felt weak; just managing to hold back his screams was an achievement in itself, but panic was still rising within him.
This woman was truly ruthless—killing without a second thought was exactly what she seemed to be.
Watching her caress Liuli Li's pale face as if admiring a piece of art sent chills racing up Ye Kai's spine.
At that moment, his frantic gaze fell upon a transparent glass coffee table in front of him, and his heart sank further. There was a neat stack of cash piled high alongside a patch of white powdery substance.
The Bald Man's calm expression had not changed throughout; he stood beside them like a bodyguard. The only difference now was that he raised his gun once more...
"T-the stuff... you can take it... I promise I won't..." Sweat dripped into Ye Kai's eyes, stinging painfully, but he dared not blink. He could only grit his teeth and speak weakly.
In moments of crisis, people instinctively forget their fears. Reflecting on the anger he felt when he first entered the room made Ye Kai shudder with dread. If he had acted even slightly more aggressively back then, the cold-faced Bald Man would have likely shot him on the spot!
As for the authenticity of the gun, he dared not test it. Besides, the Divine System had already prepared a batch for him...
At this thought, Ye Kai's heart jolted as he mentally berated himself for being such a fool—how could he forget his greatest asset? Damn it! He still had the Divine System!
With just a thought, that whatever-it-was 9mm and the USP Tactical Pistol would appear in his hands. Worst case scenario, he could fight back with everything he had.
Ye Kai didn’t even realize that after recalling the Divine System, facing life-and-death threats ignited such fierce thoughts within him—thoughts that ordinary people would never dare to entertain.
Murder!
This was something unimaginable for those living in peaceful times; at least for most people.
But now, facing the gun of the Bald Man and the playful giggle of the woman beside him, a surge of violent killing intent suddenly rose within Ye Kai.
"Hey! Have you calmed down?"
Su Qiong shot a glance at the bald man beside her, then smiled sweetly. "My dear brother, I didn't expect you to settle down so quickly. But let me be clear with you, I really can't let you go. It's such a pity for someone as handsome as you."
At that moment, Ye Kai suddenly noticed that the two cold-blooded killers in front of him had become alert at the same time. Without hesitation, they raised their guns towards him, their tone icy. "Brother, you'd better not make a sound. You should know that this gun in my hand can easily go off."
The bald man glanced at the woman and then subtly shook his head before quickly stepping forward and pressing Ye Kai down onto the sofa. He then quietly moved to the door, listening intently.
Sensing the acrid smell of blood and feeling the coldness around him, Ye Kai secretly decided that if this Gender Bandit didn't push too hard, it would be best to temporarily comply with their demands.
His expression gradually calmed, but when he noticed the Bald Man moving again, his pupils constricted once more. It dawned on him that this Gender Bandit made no sound at all with any of his movements.
How is this possible?
Ye Kai was shocked; if he hadn't made this discovery, he might have been easily taken out by these two Gender Bandits when he attempted to resist.
However, he took this opportunity to communicate with the ridiculous Divine System in his mind.
"God, come out!" Ye Kai shouted frantically in his head.
"Ding! Lord God, please give your orders. The Divine System is at your service."
"Stop bragging already! Hurry up! I'm being threatened and could be killed at any moment! Damn it, think of something fast!"
"Ding! Lord God, considering the sudden threat to your life, the Divine System suggests: First, actively hide in God's System Space, but this option requires three seconds of preparation time. Second, it is recommended to activate a Level One Energy Shield, but this will consume the already limited System energy; you will have eighteen minutes left to replenish energy after this consumption. Third, it is suggested that you leave immediately. Fourth: I suggest..."
Ye Kai almost laughed at the ridiculousness of the System. Damn it! What kind of time was it for suggestions about leaving? If he could leave immediately, who would want to stay with two dark guns pointed at their head?
Nevertheless, regarding the absurd suggestions from the System, Ye Kai ultimately chose between the first and second options.
Of course, he chose the first and second options.
That is to say, as soon as he had the thought, a layer of Energy Shield would activate immediately. This shield was not something that an ordinary handgun could penetrate; even a Grenade would take several hits to break through.
The Bald Man, for some reason, suddenly perked up, listening intently for a moment before leaping up and diving behind the sofa where he was sitting.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of muffled sounds reached Ye Kai's ears, startling him once again.
Were they actually firing guns?
"Damn it!"
Su Qiong knew that this mission was not going to be simple. Not only had they failed to complete the task, but they had also exposed their whereabouts, which was now a serious problem.
She shot a glare at the clueless fool beside her. With the grace of a cat, she lightly tapped her toes on the ground and sprang into action, leaping three meters to land on the table by the door. She effortlessly raised her gun and pulled the trigger towards the entrance.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled grunts came from outside the door, but then everything fell silent again, not a sound to be heard.
Ye Kai finally snapped back to reality and realized that it wasn't that he didn't understand this world; it was that this world was changing too rapidly.
These two were Super Soldiers, jumping three or four meters as if it were nothing?
Was this really a gunfight?
In this land where firearms were prohibited, how could a gunfight happen right before his eyes? It all felt utterly unbelievable.
At the same time, he became completely alert and couldn't help but curse himself for being such an idiot. Even at this moment, he was still thinking about whether it was allowed or not. He forced himself to think quickly.
He couldn't worry too much; after all, in just this short amount of time, he had figured it out. Whether it was the Gender Bandit in front of him or the 'public servant' who always appeared later, he knew he wouldn't come out unscathed against these people.
After all, two people were dead now.
And he was still at the scene.
The only thing he could be thankful for was that Ye Kai hadn't walked on any dirt roads today, and his shoes were clean, leaving no deep footprints behind.
Although his hideout was nearly a twenty-minute walk away, it was just in the neighboring district. As long as he could escape their line of sight for ten seconds, he would be absolutely safe.
So, should he retreat? These guys were experts at playing with danger; a small fry like him should really withdraw early.
After giving himself a pep talk, Ye Kai finally calmed down completely. At the same time, he faintly heard some sounds through the hole in the door, like the rustling of clothes while walking.
Wait!
The window—this was the first floor; how could there not be anyone outside?
Even though there was a layer of sheer curtain, who knew if someone from the Taoist Sect or some unknown force would come back with a barrage of gunfire? Sitting here like this would be dangerous!
No, no!
If he could think of this, surely these two cold-blooded Gender Bandits would know as well. That seemed unlikely.
So, the only possibility was...
This window—or perhaps all the windows in this three-bedroom apartment—had something that made the two of them feel secure!
But whatever it was, whether it was a trap or something else lurking nearby, it was an extremely dangerous situation for Ye Kai.
Ye Kai narrowed his eyes slightly to focus all his attention.
The beautiful woman from Vicious Beauty was about three and a half meters away, while the Bald Man was roughly two meters from him, glaring at him with a face full of murderous intent.
"Damn it, I'm going all out!"
Life is fleeting; if he survives today, he vows never to encounter these two bastards again. Otherwise, he would definitely take matters into his own hands and eliminate these ruthless guys.
"Activate Energy Shield!"
"Activate Energy Shield!"
...
"Ding! Lord God, Energy Shield has been activated for three seconds, five seconds..."
"Damn it," he thought, knowing this would happen!
Ye Kai pressed down hard on Liuli Li's left arm with his right hand while gripping the Down Feather Backrest in his left. He aimed his left foot at the Glass Coffee Table, and his eyes turned wild and ferocious.
"Bang!"
The Glass Coffee Table shattered instantly, sending countless tiny shards of glass flying toward Vixen.
At the same time, he flicked his left hand, launching the Down Feather Backrest toward the bald man's gun barrel, blocking his line of sight. With a push from his right foot against the ground and a forceful thrust from his back, the sofa toppled backward. He then quickly released his grip on Liuli Li's arm and rolled backward into the bedroom.
"Thud thud bang!"
Several silenced bullets fired off, one of which pierced through the bedroom door he had just slammed shut and grazed Ye Kai's earlobe before shattering the glass window behind him.
Ye Kai felt a chill run through him, but his heart burned with rage. Without hesitation, he flipped over again and forcefully shoved a nearby wardrobe toward the door.
This series of movements seemed complex, yet surprisingly swift; even the two Gender Bandits failed to react in time.
"Bang!"
The door was violently smashed, leaving a fist-sized hole.
Ye Kai's eyes were filled with icy coldness. He vowed that after this, he would acquire the powerful strength to control his own life, never wanting to feel the experience of having his life potentially ended at any moment again.
"You’re seeking death!"
Su Qiong's harsh voice rang out: "Kill him."
"As the saying goes, one should reciprocate kindness. Both of you, remember, this matter will not end here."
Ye Kai suddenly revealed a pitch-black handgun in his hand, continuously pulling the trigger around the hole in the door, his tone chilling: "I’ll be waiting for you."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of gunshots echoed, startling all the tenants in the building.
The sounds of shattering glass, cries, and barking dogs erupted, waking up the once peaceful residential area. The chaos quickly escalated; within half a minute, the entire district was thrown into turmoil.
