"Die!" Wang Xinyu shouted with a twisted expression, releasing the safety on his gun and pulling the trigger with force.
"Jiang Ling, get down!" Lin Hanyu yelled as he lunged forward, positioning himself in front of me. I had been sitting on the ground, performing a ritual for the Zombie, and upon noticing Wang Xinyu's actions, it was too late for me to get up and dodge. I could only watch helplessly as Lin Hanyu took the bullet meant for me.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The series of gunshots echoed around us, piercingly loud. Wang Xinyu emptied his gun before finally stopping.
"He should be dead now!" Wang Xinyu tossed aside the empty magazine and reloaded. He approached me uncertainly. Having never practiced shooting, he had only managed to hit Lin Hanyu's body despite being so close, missing me entirely. Now he was unsure whether the bullet had penetrated Lin Hanyu.
I knew clearly that Lin Hanyu was a Ghost Corpse, protected by Eerie Aura and Corpse Qi. A handgun bullet would not kill him, nor would it penetrate his body. So I remained safely behind Lin Hanyu, unharmed by the bullets.
Seizing the moment when Wang Xinyu wasn't firing, I pushed against Lin Hanyu's body and said, "Lin Hanyu, stop playing dead! You're heavy on top of me! Get up quickly and take care of that Fatty!"
"Jiang Ling, is this how you treat your savior?" Lin Hanyu shot me an exasperated glance. He shifted slightly but continued to lie on top of me, saying, "Don't rush to get up yet; there's a group coming over there, led by Yang Angang's boyfriend. I can sense his presence!"
"I heard your Chen Sibao is a cop. If that Fatty dares to shoot at us again, his time will be up!" Lin Hanyu's eyes glinted with murderous intent as he spoke darkly. It seemed he was quite skilled at using others' weapons against them; he must have done this kind of thing before.
I calmed myself and listened carefully; indeed, I could hear faint footsteps approaching from not far away. If it weren't for Lin Hanyu's reminder, I wouldn't have noticed at all.
"Hey? Not dead yet!" Wang Xinyu exclaimed as he saw Lin Hanyu's body move slightly. He immediately fired two more shots at Lin Hanyu, aiming directly at his heart in the back.
"Damn it, that Fatty! I'm going to kill him right now!" Lin Hanyu's expression turned ferocious. Although the bullets wouldn't kill him, the pain was very real. Even as a Ghost Corpse, he couldn't withstand such agony.
"Lin Hanyu, hold on! If you kill him now, you'll become a murderer and be hunted by police nationwide! That wouldn't be worth it!" I pulled hard on Lin Hanyu's body to keep him from moving recklessly.
In fact, there was one more thing I hadn't considered: Wang Xinyu was positioned a bit too close. If Lin Hanyu moved away now, I would have no meat shield to block the bullets. If Wang Xinyu shot me in the head, even with the Elixir of Immortality from the Nine-Dragon Cauldron, I would still meet my end.
After a dozen seconds, seeing that Lin Hanyu's body had stopped moving, Wang Xinyu cautiously moved closer.
Sweat poured down Wang Xinyu's forehead, and his expression became very complex. There was fear in his eyes, but even more excitement; this was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands, and it seemed he had developed a liking for this feeling.
The once sleazy fat face of Wang Xinyu now bore a sickly madness. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself, "So this is what it feels like to kill!"
Wang Xinyu quickly approached me, aiming his gun at my head. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, my eyes suddenly opened, locking gazes with him. Wang Xinyu stared at me in disbelief, his voice trembling as he said, "Impossible! I've fired so many shots; how are you still alive?"
A smile spread across my face as I waved at Wang Xinyu, saying, "Wang Xinyu, are you surprised? Did you expect this?"
I deliberately provoked Wang Xinyu because I had heard the footsteps of a police team drawing near; they were probably only ten steps away from us. Wang Xinyu had definitely entered their line of fire. If he dared to shoot again, he would surely die.
Focused solely on me and with the surrounding darkness making it hard to see anything, Wang Xinyu failed to notice the presence of those police officers.
"Heh heh! Jiang Ling, you can still laugh! I'm going to take your life right now!" A murderous glint flashed in Wang Xinyu's eyes as he prepared to shoot me. Just then, a gunshot rang out. Before Wang Xinyu could react, a bullet pierced through his skull, and hot blood splattered all over me.
"Ugh!" Wang Xinyu stared at me with wide eyes. His body trembled stiffly for a few moments as he tried to pull the trigger of his gun, but it was already too late. Two seconds later, his body fell straight to the ground, becoming a cold corpse.
"Jiang Ling, are you okay?" At that moment, Chen Sibao rushed over with a team of police officers. I recognized Jiang Qi, who had been there earlier; it was him who had shot and killed Wang Xinyu.
"Director Chen, I'm fine!" I pushed aside Lin Hanyu's body and stood up. I wasn't too surprised by Chen Sibao's arrival since I had contacted him after leaving Wang Xinyu's house and briefed him on the situation here.
Chen Sibao looked around at the numerous corpses sprawled on the ground, one of which was nothing but a skeleton, eerily resembling Wang Hai from before. His brow furrowed deeply, and his expression darkened instantly. With so many dead, he knew that there would be serious repercussions from above, and his days ahead would likely be difficult.
Chen Sibao shook his head subtly and patted my shoulder. "Jiang Ling, you should go back with Officer Jiang to give a statement. You're the only survivor here, and you need to report the situation clearly."
"I'll cooperate fully! But besides me, there's another survivor!" I said as I kicked Lin Hanyu a few times to rouse him from his feigned death.
"Jiang Ling, do you have any sense of decency? I'm your savior!" Lin Hanyu grumbled as he reluctantly got up. He had initially planned to slip away unnoticed while Chen Sibao was distracted because he didn't want to deal with Chen Sibao, who had taken away the goddess he had secretly admired for so long.
"Uh! What are you doing here?" Chen Sibao was somewhat surprised by Lin Hanyu's presence since I hadn't mentioned him before. However, he didn't make things difficult for Lin Hanyu; instead, he instructed Jiang Qi to take both of us to give our statements. Chen Sibao then turned to the remaining personnel to begin processing the scene and contacted other departments to come for an investigation.
