Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 326 018. Hu Mo Chen Xiang vs. Xin Hu (Part Two)

The woman acted rashly, but it was indeed very effective.

Chen Ruolan's flight path began to erratically. Although she started to slow down, she was too fast to stop and crashed into the wall, which collapsed into countless stones. The resulting dust cloud happened to obscure the assassin's vision.

The other party's reaction was also quite astonishing. Seeing that the assassination attempt had failed, he quickly found the nearest window and jumped over it, not caring that the building was fifty meters high, and fell straight down.

Chen Ruolan was thrown around and was dizzy and disoriented. She couldn't catch her breath in the pile of rocks, but luckily she was thick-skinned and hard-wearing, so her mind was still clear.

She knew the other party wanted to break out of her force field.

A formidable opponent; in a short span of time, her quick thinking and adaptability saved her three times.

In just one glance, he estimated the range of my [Tiger Silent Incense] silence field. Not to mention discovering that the weakness of [Tiger Silent Incense] is its range of use, he could also immediately calculate the distance. An opponent with this kind of mindset is a true top-level assassin!

Sure enough, just as she escaped the silence field of [Tiger Silent Incense], the opponent summoned the black-spotted tiger again. Its four claws slashed tightly across the concrete floor of the building, constantly creating a buffer. Like a rake that smashed the outer edge of the building, the woman lay on the tiger's back, with stone and wood chips rushing past her ears. Even though her cheeks were scratched, she remained expressionless.

In the super-G state of a fall, a normal person would think about life and death. In order to survive, the body would secrete a large amount of hormones, and unexpected actions would suddenly erupt.

But she was not like that. The female assassin remained calm as she fell from a height of fifty meters, almost grazing the building at a ninety-degree angle. To her, it was like skiing down the snow-covered Alps.

The only problem was that the mount beneath his feet was a bit worn out; four bloody streaks, mixed with construction debris, looked like a calligraphy brush dipped in red ink, slashing down from the top of the building.

Upon landing, the black-spotted tiger tumbled and rolled several times before crashing into the building timbers, creating a cloud of dust.

Chen Ruolan glanced out the window and watched as the other side retrieved the heavily wounded tiger and retreated. She was about to adjust the weapon case to gliding mode when she noticed the machinery making a series of clicking noises before going silent after a few beeps.

She said angrily, "What kind of broken equipment is this? It's so flimsy."

"you--"

A woman's voice came from behind, tinged with disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ruolan's figure lingered in Qi Tongshan's sight for two or three seconds before she turned around, raised an eyebrow at her, and said in a cool tone, "We meet again, sister."

Little did they know, looking disheveled and dirty wasn't cool at all; instead, it resembled a delicious quail fluttering in a haystack.

Qi Tongshan stared at Chen Ruolan with a complicated expression, and sighed softly: "I knew that meeting you guys would never end well."

“What kind of talk is this? ‘We’? Who else did we see?” Chen Ruolan reacted quickly.

"Never mind, it's not safe here. I'll take you away first," she said, beckoning to Qi Tongshan.

Chen Ruolan remained cautious, worried that the other side might have other assassins, which would overwhelm her.

Qi Tongshan didn't take her hand, but stared at her intently, asking, "Why did you save me? Generally speaking, shouldn't people of unknown origin avoid trouble when they encounter danger?"

Chen Ruolan was taken aback, then said matter-of-factly, "Come on, you're being followed by some weirdo, why didn't they save you?"

She thought for a moment and added, "If I really have to give a reason, I feel that we get along quite well when we chat. I always feel very comfortable with you. You know, it would be a real shame if someone as opportunistic as you died in front of you."

Qi Tongshan was silent for a moment, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "That's something you would say."

"Hmm—you talk like you know me so well." Chen Ruolan retorted, puffing out her cheeks and glaring at him, then composed herself. "Fine, fine, let's get out of here. With such a commotion, someone's definitely coming. Can you walk by yourself?"

Qi Tongshan took Chen Ruolan's hand and stood up shakily.

"White Walkers?"

Chen Ruolan glanced at the rapidly healing wound on her hand, her tone remaining calm.

"Ah."

Qi Tongshan gave a nonchalant reply and, supported by Chen Ruolan, slowly made his way downstairs, leaning against the wall.

"Looks like you're quite capable. Aren't you afraid?"

Qi Tongshan rarely saw humans who could get along with White Walkers so easily, but thinking of Yan Wuxun's small shop in District 9, where there was a sturdy little ghost who still got along well with him, she felt relieved.

"What's there to be afraid of? We all have two shoulders and one head."

Although the woman with wine-red hair appeared relaxed, she still maintained the silent force field of [Tiger Silent Incense] to prevent any enemies from hiding in the shadows.

"Heh, should I call you naive or just plain naive? All White Walkers eat people, aren't you afraid that one day you'll wake up and find yourself as someone else's delicious lunchbox?"

"You have to have the ability," Chen Ruolan said with a smile.

"Small chest, but big heart." The weakness caused by the injury did not hinder Qi Tongshan's verbal outburst.

"Nonsense! She's clearly about to have C!"

Chen Ruolan's face hardened.

……

The two helped each other down several floors, during which some of the stairs were damaged and some steps were broken, which was very inconvenient.

Do you recognize that assassin? Do you know where he came from?

Walking down the street, Chen Ruolan suddenly asked.

Qi Tongshan rolled her eyes: "I don't know."

"That's strange. When someone is being followed, their first thought isn't to run to a lively place, but to find a more secluded corner. Does that make sense?"

Chen Ruolan still had that carefree, smiling look on her face.

Qi Tongshan walked slowly alongside her, head bowed and silent.

"I won't press you if you don't want to tell me. I was just curious anyway. Everyone has their own secrets, and as friends, we should respect your privacy."

Chen Ruolan, on the other hand, is quite carefree.

Qi Tongshan's gaze softened slightly, but she cursed him inwardly as an idiot.

"By the way, how old are you?" Chen Ruolan asked abruptly.

"23."

"Haha, I wasn't talking about age," Chen Ruolan laughed.

Qi Tongshan revealed an arrogant expression: "I wasn't talking about age."

"Nonsense! I can't believe it!" Chen Ruolan's eyes widened like a bull's, staring intently. Could such a scale really exist?

"I've sealed it."

"Hmm—then untie it, let me verify it."

"You're insane!" Qi Tongshan cursed.

When the two of them were playing around, there was a hole in the wall next to them. The gray cement and red bricks hadn't been plastered yet, so it was probably meant to be a window.

Just as Qi Tongshan walked by—

She glanced casually at the window out of the corner of her eye, and in that instant, the hairs on her body stood on end, and her pupils lost their color.

A pair of dark, gaping eyes, each the size of a bowl, stared silently at the two of them. In the dimly lit room, a ferocious white background with black spots gradually appeared. Qi Tongshan was only a body length away from the sharp beast teeth.

Her vision was completely covered by a gaping, reddish-brown maw, and she could almost see that mouth curling up with a long tongue covered in barbs.

In the instant between life and death, time stretched infinitely in her world.

"Roar--"

The sound waves of the tiger's roar exploded in my eardrums like a nuclear bomb, reaching deep into my soul, and even my heart and lungs began to tremble.
