Chapter 1156: Ghost in the dark

Translator: 549690339

The night was quiet, and everything was still.

The place where Lucas lived was neither a high-end hotel nor a luxury villa, but an extremely ordinary old residential house.

This place was about to be demolished, and most of the residents had moved away. Some houses had even collapsed due to years of disrepair.

Those who didn’t move away were either households that had been nailed down or too poor to move.

Lucas felt very comfortable living here.

He didn’t like to enjoy luxurious things, and he even hated all beautiful things.

He liked dark and messy environments, because only such environments could give him a unique sense of security.

Moreover, he only liked to live in the basement, not in the upper floors. This way, he could avoid being killed by killers.

Lucas had captured many people for his experiments, including elderly and children, and even some pregnant women.

Such an action would undoubtedly attract many enemies. Many people would hunt him down all over the world. Of course, he had to live in the safest place.

However, he had been feeling uneasy the entire night. He kept feeling as if a pair of cold eyes were staring at him!

This time, he was staying in a half-basement storage room. Half of the windows were exposed, but they were tightly shut and covered by Lucas with a rag.

The old houses were filled with yin energy and humidity, especially the basement where miscellaneous items were stored. Not only was the air not circulating, but there were also many moldy potatoes, Taros, and other things, which gave off a foul smell.

Lucas’s sense of smell had been affected because he had personally tested the virus. He was not very sensitive to all kinds of smells, so the stench did not affect him.

The bodyguards who were responsible for protecting him were miserable. All of them had very good noses. In such an environment, almost none of them could stay!

Moreover, they had been protecting Lucas for a long time. Other than him provoking Jing Rui and Shuyin, no one else had come here to cause trouble.

The bodyguards couldn’t help slacking off. They were afraid of Lucas, but they also hated him.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Lucas’s death would cost them a huge sum of money, they would have wanted to kill Lucas!

Jing Zhi waited patiently in the darkness.

In his daily life, he was very impulsive and definitely a person who lacked patience. However, every time he did a mission, he would seem to change into a different person.

He was patient, meticulous, calm, and rational. He could wait for dozens of hours in a harsh environment without moving!

He was an exceptional assassin!

Unless they didn’t shoot, shooting would definitely kill!

The darkness gave him the perfect cover, and the pungent rotten smell around him could also cover his scent.

He was like a dark ghost, hiding in a corner, silently waiting for his prey to appear.

Lucas had been killed countless times, and his life was saved from countless life and death struggles.

He couldn’t see Jing Zhi, but he could feel that he was being watched.

There was only a fine line between a genius and a lunatic. Lucas was a lunatic, but to a certain extent, he was also a genius.

He had an instinctive sense of danger, and he believed in this mysterious sense.

He had been worried that Jing Rui would send someone to take revenge on him. His virus had invaded Jing Rui’s body, and even if Shuyin could crack it, Jing Rui would suffer.

In A city, if someone wanted to kill him, it would be Jing Rui and Shuyin. He had not provoked anyone else yet.

Lucas wanted to call for his bodyguards to come in and protect him, but before he could say anything, the earth suddenly shook, followed by a loud bang, and the entire building he lived in collapsed!

He subconsciously ran towards the half of the window that was exposed on the ground. As soon as the rag that was originally blocking the window was removed, a bullet cut through the dark night sky, tore through the thin air, and shattered the crumbling glass with a sharp and harsh sound.

Lucas’s eyes widened in horror as he watched in disbelief as the bullet plunged into his chest!

He screamed and fell to the ground. The bodyguards had already rushed over and protected him.

They wanted to shoot outside, but it was pitch-black and they couldn’t see anything. They couldn’t imagine how the enemy could hit Lucas so accurately in such a dark environment.

The air was filled with a cold, murderous aura. No one knew if the other party had left or who the next soul would be.

Everyone was cautiously half-squatting and sticking close to the wall to minimize exposure.

“Help ... Quick ... Take me to the hospital ...”

Lucas stuttered out a few words, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

He had been on the verge of death many times in his life, but none of them had ever made him feel as scared as he was now.

After being shot through the chest, he felt that his life was rapidly slipping away!

“This won’t do. If this goes on, Lucas will be completely hopeless! There might still be time to send him to the hospital now! We can’t just sit here and wait for death. Charge out!”

As Lucas’s bodyguards, they had received a high salary. Even if there was danger, they had to save Lucas ‘life first.

Some of the bodyguards began to move. Some of them were still guarding Lucas, while others had already started to walk out of the basement, trying to break through.

However, all their efforts were in vain.

Jing Zhi hid in the dark. The sniper rifle in his hand seemed to have a soul. It followed his will and tracked every target.

His expression was cold and his killing intent was strong. He was like the god of death who had descended to the world and was harvesting lives every second.

The sound of gunfire rang out in the dead-Silent Night, and the bodyguards fell one by one.

The door to the basement was kicked open, and Jing Zhi’s tall figure appeared in Lucas’s blurred vision.

“You ...”

Lucas only managed to say one word before Jing Zhi stepped on him.

With a crisp crack, Jing Zhi crushed Lucas’s sternum.

The hair-raising sound of bones breaking was particularly clear in the dead silence of the basement.

“Lucas, you’re still alive! Could it be that my spear technique has deteriorated?”

Jing Zhi tore Lucas “clothes apart and looked at the spot where he had shot him. He touched Lucas” chest and said in surprise,”Oh, so your heart is on the right! No wonder he didn’t die!”

Lucas was in so much pain that he could not say a word.

His heart was indeed on the right side, so he had dodged the fatal blow.

But even so, if he didn’t go to the hospital to take out the bullet immediately, he would die from bleeding!
