Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 33 The Strong

"Tick tock, tick tock."

The moment the black shadow jumped out of Yang Ping's sleeve, the sound of the pointer turning was heard again, and the rattlesnake that was biting towards the figure missed. When they came to their senses, the other party had already opened up a distance of more than five meters between them, and the face without facial features seemed to be looking at the ferocious rattlesnake with interest.

"Oh? Is this the companion demon they are talking about?"

The voice of the figure sounded like a mixture of machinery and gears. Then he glanced at Yang Ping who was gasping for breath while holding his chest. "You are still alive. I don't know whether this is lucky or unfortunate. If you had died just now, at least you could have been on your way easily."

"The people that the senior is talking about are you."

Yang Ping looked straight at the other person.

It was the small sachet sent by the senior that worked. He felt a hot sensation in the pocket where the sachet was placed, as if it helped him block the fatal blow just now.

This was different from all the evil spirits he had encountered so far. Not only did it have those weird abilities, it also had the ability to communicate with people, which meant that the evil spirit before him had independent thinking.

Not driven by instinct, but subjectively deciding to become a murderer.

Xiangwei once mentioned that most evil spirits devour humans out of instinct, just like humans devour other animals. It is natural and has nothing to do with good or evil. However, the figures in front of him are different from the evil spirits that attacked the members who were handling the aftermath that day. They came with pure malice and the intention to kill.

"Senior? Oh, that person you are talking about. After killing you, I will go find him soon."

"Why? What good does killing people do for you?"

"benefit?"

The figure paused. He seemed to have never thought about this question before, nor did he need to think about it.

Yang Ping's question made him feel a little funny. Perhaps only a little kid would ask such a question. He was still arguing about right and wrong when he was about to die.

"Listen carefully, there is only one law in this world - the strong must trample on the weak!"

"Rattle!"

"Tick tock, tick tock."

Several voices intertwined together, and Yang Ping immediately drew his gun, and the tail of the gun rushed towards the figure at lightning speed.

"A weapon modified with poisonous fangs will paralyze a person if hit head-on."

All his attacks were in vain. When he regained consciousness, Yang Ping could no longer see anyone. A voice was heard behind him, close at hand. A cold and hard object pressed against his back, stabbing him mercilessly. "Someone has leaked your secret. I'm not the only one who wants you dead."

He pulled the blade-like needle out from Yang Ping's back cleanly and neatly, and threw the blood-stained needle onto the ground like a swordsman. This blow was enough to sever Yang Ping's spine.

"…your ability."

Yang Ping's eyes widened and his pupils dilated.

The scene was familiar, yet somewhat boring. The figure glanced at the body falling like a dead leaf, and the excitement he felt when he killed someone for the first time was no longer in his heart.

It seems that the members of the organization are no different from the ordinary people who died at his hands. The moment they witness his ability is the moment death comes.

No.

This just shows that his ability is invincible!

That's why that group came to visit him, eager to recruit him into the organization, and told him everything about his abilities and evil spirits.

After killing Yang Ping, there will only be one last hunting target left in Yunlong City.

The slight noise behind him made the figure pause, and he was surprised to find something unusual out of the corner of his eye - the bloodstains on the plastic floor under his feet had evaporated, or rather, they had never been stained in the first place.

However, the blow that pierced Yang Ping's body just now clearly produced a real touch, and his judgment would definitely not be wrong. He had killed many people in this way, and everything was no different from usual.

Is it possible...

Does this kid also possess some kind of ability?

Otherwise, he would never be lucky enough to dodge his own attack twice in a row!

"Tick tock, tick tock."

Almost at the moment when he felt something was wrong, the figure once again distanced himself from Yang Ping, but the object thrown by the other party made him stunned for a long time. Was this kid so scared that he lost his mind?
Even in a fight among high school students, it is difficult for a backpack to cause any effective killing.

"Forget it. I'm no longer interested in why you're still alive."

The figure spread his arms, "No matter if it's a skill or a trick, I just need to chop you into pieces."

He bowed.

"Tick tock..."

The sound of the hands turning again was drowned out by another even harsher sound, "Crackle, crackle!"

When the firecrackers went off, Yang Ping was fully focused, watching the figure's every move.

He carried many small emergency props in his schoolbag, firecrackers being one of them.

Evil spirits don't like crowded places, and they dislike deafening noises even more. This is the experience he has accumulated when dealing with evil spirits. For those who are targeted by evil spirits and may die at any time, firecrackers may very well become a life-saving straw.

Yang Ping didn't think that firecrackers would scare away the other party, but the deafening sound could verify one of his guesses.

Mr. Mingyuan mentioned yesterday that there are evil spirits in this world that have awakened difficult abilities.

But they are not invincible. Abilities are an extension of human desires and obsessions, but even in dreams, the human subconscious mind will limit them.

The more powerful the ability, the more stringent the triggering conditions tend to be.

This time, the figure did not disappear. Yang Ping clearly saw the trajectory of the other party's movements. After taking two steps forward, the figure stopped.

The secret lies in the "tick-tock, tick-tock" sound of the clock. Every time he hears the sound echoing in his ears, the figure will disappear from his sight and reach the blind spot of his vision in an instant, as if... time has been suddenly skipped.

The shot fangs, the flying rattles, and the slowly falling leaves from the branches all become completed actions over time.

The only people who are stopped by the clock are those who hear the sound of the hands turning.

Of course, this was achieved through two "deaths".

If it weren't for the small sachet sent by his senior, he would have been pierced through the body when the opponent activated his ability for the first time, and died in confusion and astonishment like the other victims.

"Who is so lacking in public morality as to set off fireworks in broad daylight?"

"Go and have a look, it would be terrible if it caught fire."

The sound of firecrackers not only interrupted the fight, but also attracted people nearby.

"Boy."

Before the crowd gathered, the figure slowly retreated into the shade of the trees on both sides of the road, "I will come again."

Yang Ping did not respond. He continued to stare at the figure, his mind highly concentrated, without any slackness.

He must be killed.

There was only one thought in the figure's mind.

The ambush failed, and more importantly, the kid actually guessed the limitations of his abilities.

We must do it before he spreads the news...

His thoughts stopped abruptly.

Behind the dense shade of the trees, he saw a person who shouldn't be there.

The man was wearing a very distinctive suit. He was leaning against the tree trunk, opening his memo and writing something down quickly.

"Wait a mininute."

The man took the initiative to greet him, "I'll be right there."
