Chapter 138 [First Time Seeing Blood] (8500)

Chapter 133 [First Time Seeing Blood] (8500)

The hotel doors are all electronic locks that require card payment.

But the person unlocking the door at that moment was clearly not using a key card—probably because they were afraid that the electronic card swipe would make a beeping sound and alert the people inside.

I don't know what kind of technology was used to crack the door lock; there was only a faint clicking sound of key gears when the door handle was turned.

This sound is difficult for ordinary people to detect, let alone someone who is asleep in the middle of the night.

But Chen Yan had exceptionally sharp hearing and immediately woke up, instantly noticing it!
·
In the darkness, the door was pushed open, and a figure quickly slipped in through the crack before quietly closing the door behind them.

The figure that entered was of medium build, wearing a black leather jacket, and his figure was almost invisible in the darkness.

The figure walked silently along the wall into the room, his whole body like a feline that was about to pounce. His footsteps on the carpet were also silent.

Finally, when the figure reached the bedside, it suddenly reached out and pressed down on the neck of the person on the bed with one hand, while pulling out something with the other hand and suddenly pulling up the quilt and stabbing it hard!
It was clearly a syringe.

flutter!
The feel of the syringe needle piercing the neck and the hand pressing down on it both felt wrong.

The figure immediately realized something was wrong, and his first reaction was to retreat sharply! At the same time, he dropped the syringe, but quickly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it hard behind him!

This guy reacted very quickly; he was clearly not some petty burglar, but rather seemed like a professional who had received some kind of training!
After the dagger missed its mark, the figure immediately pressed his back against the wall, shrinking his body as much as possible, his gray-brown eyes fixed on the room.

The room wasn't very big; you could see everything at a glance.

After the blankets on the bed were pulled back, there was only a pillow on the bed, but no one was there.
The room was completely empty, and there was no one in sight!
The figure's eyes flickered, clearly indicating extreme vigilance and confusion...

·
Chen Yan stood in the mirror, coldly looking at the real world outside the room.

The moment he heard the lock click, he immediately pulled out a talisman, hid it under the covers, and it dissolved rapidly, allowing him to enter the mirror world.

Although it was the middle of the night and the room was dark, it wasn't completely black.

On a snowy day, the curtains weren't drawn completely, and everything outside was a vast expanse of white. The reflected light actually made the night brighter than usual.

Since this is a resort hotel, the entire building is brightly lit.

Chen Yan stood in the mirrored world, looking into the room through the mirror.

He quickly recognized that the figure who had sneaked into the room and attacked him was a man.

Moreover, his grayish-brown eyes and brown hair gave away his identity—he was definitely not from China.

This method doesn't seem like that of a thief, but rather like that of a secret agent or assassin depicted in movies and television.
But... how could any special agent or assassin provoke me, an ordinary person?

After Chen Yan clearly saw the other person's distinctly foreign features, a thought struck him, and he began to make some guesses.

·
The dark figure slowly retreated towards the doorway, highly vigilant, keeping his back pressed against the wall at all times.

But this action backfired on him.

There was a mirror on the wall in the hallway leading from the room to the door.

The instant he was backed against the wall and pressed himself against the mirror.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the mirror!

The hand grabbed his neck, lifted him up, and slammed him to the ground!
boom! !

The man's body slammed heavily to the ground, the force of which made his mind go blank for a moment.

Although Chen Yan's physical strength is not comparable to that of cultivators who practice combat techniques and body arts, after being nourished by vital energy and cleansed by the final vital energy from the trial in the Japanese secret realm, his physical strength now far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Conservatively speaking, he could easily take on Captain America one-on-one.

Although this dark figure may have received some professional training, he was still just an ordinary person. Under this level of force, he was smashed to the ground like a little chick!
Then Chen Yan stepped out of the mirror and kicked the man in the head.

The force of that kick almost broke the man's neck—and that was with Chen Yan holding back.

As soon as the man rolled his eyes, Chen Yan gave him no chance to breathe. He stretched out his finger and cast a "Law Decree - Fixed Word Technique" on the man!
The man's body stiffened, as if all his strength had vanished instantly, and he lay motionless on the ground.

Chen Yan then bent down and carefully examined the man's appearance.

Clearly, it was an unfamiliar face; Chen Yan was certain he had never seen this person before—and moreover, it was a foreigner.

As Chen Yan leaned closer to examine him, the man suddenly opened his narrowed eyes and forcefully opened his mouth...

A hint of murderous intent and triumph flashed clearly in his eyes.

But the next instant, Chen Yan just looked at this guy with a smile, but the meaning in his eyes turned into panic.

The man opened his mouth, clearly in a retaliatory gesture.

Chen Yan noticed that the man seemed to have something in his mouth, waiting for him to get close so he could spit it out right in his face.

But under the influence of the "fixed word technique," a kind of immortal magic, how could he possibly exert any strength?

result……

Stuck.

A bright, metallic object was stuck between his tongue and teeth, and the forceful expulsion had no power whatsoever.

The man's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something.

Chen Yan thought for a moment, then quickly reached out from the bed and picked up the syringe that the person had brought.

This is a pistol-type syringe with a medicine storage cylinder on it.

He looked at it in his hand, then without hesitation stabbed it into the man's arm and pulled the trigger.

The needle pierced the man's arm, and he didn't utter a sound as the medicine was injected into his body...

After waiting for a few seconds, Chen Yan noticed that the man's eyes began to shift, and his muscles relaxed from tense to relaxed.

After making a rough assessment, Chen Yan was certain that the drug was not a lethal agent, but rather something similar to an anesthetic.

The other party... wants to capture me?

Chen Yan tore off a piece of clothing and wrapped it around his finger, then reached into the man's mouth and pulled out the weapon the man had been holding in his mouth, intending to use to ambush him.

It was a needle, but the color on it was a bit off. Chen Yan suspected that it might have been coated with some kind of medicine, so he didn't want to touch it directly with his hands. After taking it out, he casually grabbed a tissue from the table and wrapped it up.

Seeing that the door to the room was closed, Chen Yan kicked the guy unconscious, then flicked his hand, and another talisman quickly dissolved.

Chen Yan grabbed the guy and disappeared from the room, stepping back into the mirror world.

·
In the mirror world, Chen Yan did not interrogate the guy immediately, but threw him on the ground and covered his face with a towel.

This person will be unable to move for a short period of time—the effect of the Law and Decree is something that ordinary people cannot decipher.

If this person can break his fixed word technique, it would be because he is an extremely skilled cultivator.

After doing all this, Chen Yan gently opened the door and quickly left.

Chen Yan walked to the door of the Russian girl's room diagonally opposite, stood outside the door, and gently reached out to test the door.

He twisted the door shut and then pushed it open to enter!

The windows in the room were wide open, and the cold wind, mixed with snowflakes, howled in and into the room, blowing away the warmth that had been there all along!
After entering the room, Chen Yan immediately turned around and closed the door.

The house was already a mess.

He was dressed in a mess, and the bedding had been thrown on the floor.

Chen Yan glanced around and immediately confirmed: there were signs of dragging and fighting in the room!
The water glass on the table fell to the ground, and the coffee table in the room was also overturned.

Then, he saw half a footprint on the windowsill.

·
In the hotel's underground parking garage.

The G-Class parked in the corner was started, the engine emitted a vibrating roar, and then the headlights came on.

The Russian woman, dressed in a leather jacket, sat in the driver's seat, slowly pressed the accelerator, and drove the G-Class out of the parking space.

Her golden hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wore a mink hat with the brim pulled low, almost touching her eyebrows.

Just as she drove the car out of the parking space, turned the steering wheel, and was about to leave...

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the window!

Caught off guard, the Russian girl was grabbed by the neck by this hand! No matter how frantically she struggled, the strength contained in this hand, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, was something she could not resist.

She was instantly breathless, and in her frantic struggle, she twisted the steering wheel, causing the car to veer sharply and veer off course, about to crash into a pillar in the parking garage.

But then another hand immediately reached out from the window glass, and with a tremendous force, it straightened the steering wheel. At the same time, the hand that was gripping the Russian girl's neck pressed down hard and slammed her head against the steering wheel!
boom! !

The Russian girl immediately burst into tears and her nose started bleeding profusely.

boom!
Another one!
After two blows, the Russian girl's eyes glazed over, and she finally lost consciousness.

The car then slowly came to a stop, the door opened, and the Russian woman was violently thrown from the driver's seat to the back seat.

The car, as if driven by no one, slowly restarted, then reversed back into the parking space, and then turned off.

Everything returned to calm.

·
When Mao Mei woke up again, her eyelids twitched slightly, but she didn't open them. Her first reaction was to reach out and touch her waist.

Just as she was about to continue pretending to be unconscious, she heard a voice in her ear.

"Stop pretending, you bitch."

Chen Yan sat down coldly next to the Russian girl, and then, without any politeness, splashed a glass of liquid on her face!

"what!!!!"

The Russian girl screamed in pain.

She had injuries on her face, having been hit on the steering wheel twice. Her once beautiful face now had a noticeable gash on the bridge of her nose and a cut on her forehead.

The liquid splashed on his face was clearly not just plain water.

Her nose could smell a strong odor!
This is a strong liquor!
The Russian woman instinctively cried out in pain when a glass of strong liquor was suddenly splashed on her wound.

But while covering her face and crying out in pain, the Russian girl suddenly straightened up, sprang to her feet, and swiftly grabbed her waist...

Then, a force slammed into her waist, kicking her back to the ground. She arched her back in pain, like a shrimp.

"Looking for this?"

Chen Yan's hand trembled, and he dropped a dagger on the ground.

The Russian girl lay on the ground, panting heavily, and it took her a while to recover.

She opened her eyes and looked around, confirming that she was in a hotel room.

It's just not my room.

"you……"

"Don't talk about me, talk about you," Chen Yan said coldly.

"Me? What?" The Russian girl shook her head. "I just... I just wanted to leave here. You kidnapped me and brought me back..."

"Leave? Steal my car and leave?" Chen Yan sneered.

"I didn't know that was your car." The Russian woman shook her head. "I just randomly picked a car from the garage."

Chen Yan sighed, then picked up another glass of wine and splashed it on the woman's face.

The woman's face contorted in pain as the wound was smeared with alcohol.

"Would a car thief carry a weapon like this?" Chen Yan kicked the dagger on the ground.

"I'm a girl, so I need some weapons to protect myself."

Chen Yan raised an eyebrow: "I think you haven't grasped the situation yet. So I might need to help you realize it—you'd better answer my questions honestly, otherwise, I'm not the kind of person who's embarrassed to hurt a woman."

"..."

"You approached me twice today, trying to get close to me. Then I was attacked tonight."

And you just happened to steal my car and try to escape.

I don't believe any of this is a coincidence.

"I don't know what you're talking about... Ah!!"

With a scream, Chen Yan coldly grabbed her wrist and with a slight shake, the woman's wrist bent at an odd angle.

“I’ve said it before, I won’t go easy on you just because you’re a woman. If you’re willing to suffer, we can continue playing this game.”

"Aren't you afraid of committing a crime? This is a crime. My shouting will attract other guests and hotel staff..."

"Then shout it out louder," Chen Yan said, shaking his head.

The Russian girl was taken aback; she began to realize something was wrong.

The room was silent.

Finally, after her expression changed several times, she whispered, "I mean no harm. I just want to use you. I won't hurt you."

"Continue." Chen Yan nodded, pulled over a chair from the room, and sat down next to the Russian girl.

"I...I admit, I deliberately struck up a conversation with you, twice."

Once in a coffee shop, once in a bar.

I did this on purpose, to show the people secretly monitoring me. To make them think I'm connected to you, well, to make them think you're my contact, and then…”

"Then you'll move on to another target and escape?" Chen Yan shook his head. "You're just dragging me into this?"

“I’ve observed you. I saw you in the hotel lobby on your first night there. You drove a Mercedes G-Class, so you must be wealthy. That matches the profile of the person I was meeting with, so…”

"What deal? What contact person?"

"I..." The Russian woman hesitated for a moment, "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you. If you're willing to let me go, I can..."

Chen Yan's response to her was a slap in the face. "Let me guess, your so-called deal must be something shady, right?"

Weapons? DP? Trade secrets? Or intelligence obtained by spies?

Chen Yan stared at the Russian girl's expression, actually using his Qi Observation Technique to observe her.

The Russian girl remained silent.

"So you just randomly picked an ordinary person, without caring whether they'll screw me over." Chen Yan stared at the woman, a hint of anger in his eyes.

I've been dragged into this mess for no reason!
Whatever the transaction or shady dealings, it has nothing to do with him!
This woman is deliberately creating a smokescreen, using an innocent person to divert attention... But what would happen to an ordinary person if they encountered something like this?
Even if I were a reclusive cultivator, would I not be bothered by such a thing?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yan directly used a "Talisman Command - True Word Talisman" from Chu Keqing's Cloud Sect Talisman Technique to photograph the Russian girl.

More than ten minutes later, Chen Yan finally got what he wanted to know from the Russian girl's mouth.

Actually, it wasn't that smooth... The Cloud Sect's talisman technique has flaws, and Chen Yan doesn't really trust it. Obviously, people like Mao Mei, who have undergone special training, have a certain resistance to this kind of mantra talisman.

Even after being given the truth charm, the Russian girl still resisted during her confession, and on several occasions she even managed to resist her own will...

However, Chen Yan didn't hold back...

After finally getting what he wanted to know, Chen Yan looked coldly at the Russian girl on the ground, then picked up a towel and wiped his blood-stained hands.

He showed absolutely no pity or tenderness towards women!
Regardless of whether he's a man or a woman, he only believes in one principle: if the other party wants to harm him, then he cannot be soft-hearted!
Chen Yan was too lazy to remember the Russian girl's name; she was from Russia.

She is a professional at some organization who obtained some confidential evidence against a Maoist oligarch—but don't mistake her for a messenger of justice; she is not.

The purpose of obtaining this classified evidence is not to hand it over to the authorities and bring the bad guys to justice—that's not it.

However, she was sent by an organization that was an adversary of that oligarch.

However, the Russian woman was cunning. She was clearly not a person with professional ethics. After getting the goods, she planned to play both sides and make double the money.

She secretly planned to sell what she had obtained to someone else without her employer's knowledge—and then her employer sent people to track her down.

The transaction took place at a ski resort in China. The Russian woman didn't dare to do the transaction in Russia because the oligarch she had offended wielded considerable power there, so she came to China to make the deal.

After discovering that she was being monitored and tracked, she chose Chen Yan as her scapegoat in order to escape unscathed. She deliberately approached Chen Yan and became intimate with him, so that the people secretly monitoring her would mistakenly believe that Chen Yan was her contact or transaction partner.

They would then have to spare some manpower to deal with Chen Yan—and she would take the opportunity to escape.

To be honest, Chen Yan felt a little relieved after finding out the truth.

At least, it's not an official case of espionage between countries.

He didn't want to get involved in that kind of thing.

As for the oligarchs in Russia, or hostile organizations targeting each other and causing this kind of trouble... at least it doesn't involve any national-level intelligence organizations.

Commercial crime? Industrial espionage?
Chen Yan quietly looked at the Russian girl whose face was covered in blood—one of her legs was twisted at an odd angle.

Chen Yan showed no mercy; to him, an enemy was an enemy, regardless of gender. He was, in fact, a cold-hearted person by nature.

The Russian girl's legs are beautiful, and they feel great to touch.

When it breaks with force, the sound is quite crisp.

Chen Yan got up, went into the bathroom, and turned on the light.

Looking at the guy lying on the ground.

It was the man in black who attacked him tonight.

"Do you understand Chinese? You should have heard what she said clearly. This matter has nothing to do with me from beginning to end."

She wanted a scapegoat, and you fell for it, coming to cause me trouble—but you both kicked a hornet's nest, messing with the wrong person.

The guy lying on the ground was still under the effect of the "fixation" technique, just staring wide-eyed at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan walked over and gently patted him on the shoulder. The man immediately relaxed, and the effect of the "Fixed" technique wore off.

However, he had been injected with a drug by Chen Yan, which was probably similar to an anesthetic, and he was still unable to move. He moved his mouth a few times and spoke in a slurred voice, as if he were drunk: "Let me go. This has nothing to do with you. We won't cause you any trouble."

"Okay." Chen Yan nodded, his tone serious. "I don't want to get involved in trouble that has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, he picked up the towel again and stuffed it into the man's mouth, then turned off the bathroom light.

As Chen Yan turned and walked out, his face was icy cold, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes!
Let him go?
what!
·
"Now that things are clear," Chen Yan said as he walked into the bedroom and quickly threw a wet towel at Mao Mei. "You can still move your other hand, so wipe the blood off your face yourself."

The Russian girl struggled to sit up.

She was quite a tough character; she forcefully straightened the bones in her broken wrist and leg, then sat there panting for a while.

Chen Yan glanced at the Russian girl, then walked over and slapped her unconscious.

·
After getting the two guys out of the mirror world and placing them in the Russian girl's room, Chen Yan carefully considered his idea several times, scrutinized the details, and, after confirming that there should be no flaws, began to carry it out.

He spoke with the two of them for a while, expressing his attitude: he didn't want to get involved in unnecessary trouble, and this matter had nothing to do with him!
He stated that as long as the two left on their own, Chen Yan had no intention of pursuing the matter, but only asked them to guarantee one thing.

"Your business is your business. What you do after you leave is your own business. Just don't come looking for trouble with me again—if you do, I won't hold back!"

These words gave both the Russian girl and the man a glimmer of hope, and they both solemnly made a promise.

Next, Chen Yan asked the two to leave the room and then took a picture of each of them with a "Talisman - Traction Technique".

The talisman technique of this Yun Sect is similar to puppetry, allowing them to control the actions of their opponents.

Chen Yan remained silent, watching the two leave the hotel.

And the two of them left the hotel lobby together.

The man had his own car, and Chen Yan asked Mao Mei to leave in the man's car. Although Mao Mei refused, Chen Yan didn't care what she thought.
All he really wanted was one outcome: for the Russian girl to swagger out of the lobby on her own!

There are security cameras in the hotel lobby. As long as they can see that this woman left from the lobby, it has nothing to do with Chen Yan.

To that man, Chen Yan's action seemed more like a gesture of goodwill.

He originally came to capture the Russian girl, but Chen Yan handed her over to him...

He guessed that this mysterious expert from the Dragon Kingdom didn't want to offend his behind-the-scenes boss.

However... he sneered inwardly.

The other party is oversimplifying things.

So what if he was an innocent bystander?

Now that he knows the inside story, no matter what, when he goes back and reports, the boss behind the scenes will most likely just casually give an order to send someone to kill him.

An ordinary person is just an ant; if you crush them, you crush them.

This show of goodwill is nothing but a facade – this Chinese man is insecure.

·
Chen Yan didn't walk with them, but watched them leave from a distance in the lobby, then drove the man's car away from the resort.

Chen Yan carefully inspected the car and found no equipment or instruments inside.

Chen Yan took all the weapons and equipment from the man and the Russian woman.

·
After watching the two leave, Chen Yan turned around and went into the bathroom on the first floor of the hotel, then jumped into the mirror world.

Stepping out of the bathroom in the mirror world, Chen Yan quickly ran across the empty hotel lobby and rushed into the snow-covered outdoors. Without hesitation, he cast a lightness talisman on himself, then transformed into a bird and took flight.

A moment later, he caught up with the car on the snow-covered road.

Gently, a bird landed on the car roof, and the car slowly drove further and further away along the snowy road...

·
Chen Yan didn't return to the hotel until midnight.

He transformed into a bird and landed in front of the hotel, then entered the hotel, took the elevator, and returned to his room.

Back in his room, Chen Yan's expression was cold.

He went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and began to wash his hands carefully.

After using the hand sanitizer three times and rubbing his hands until they were red, Chen Yan finally let out a long breath, rinsed the foam off his fingers, and turned off the tap.

Back in his room, he slowly sat on the bed, reached into the alchemy furnace, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

He doesn't smoke, but after his last trip to Japan, he stocked up on supplies in his alchemy furnace, which became much more abundant, and he also put in a pack of cigarettes to keep in case he needed them when he went out.

At that moment, he lit a cigarette and took a puff.

Hmm... I don't think I feel as bad as I thought.

like……

I originally thought my emotions would fluctuate a lot.

After all... I killed someone today.

Whether in film and television works or literary novels, shouldn't the characters experience significant emotional fluctuations when they kill for the first time?

Why do I seem so calm?
Chen Yan slowly took a drag of his cigarette, frowned, and stubbed it out.

He doesn't smoke; cigarettes taste bitter when you smoke them.

"Am I a cold-blooded person?" Standing in front of the mirror, Chen Yan looked at himself.

·
The man and the Russian woman drove their car more than 20 kilometers away from the resort hotel, crashed off the road, and then crashed down a hillside.

Inside the car, the two men remained locked in a fierce struggle, attacking each other, until their deaths.

The Russian woman's hand was wrapped around the man's neck, while the man held a dagger, which he plunged into her body...

Everything is just the effect of the "guiding symbol".

·
From beginning to end, Chen Yan had no intention of sparing their lives.

First, he wouldn't naively believe that the other party would let someone who knew the truth go. Killing him to silence him would most likely be the next thing he did!

Secondly, both of them had witnessed his methods and had even been taken into the mirror world—Chen Yan didn't want these people to know his true background, his abilities, and his trump cards!

His previous words were merely to reassure the other party; Chen Yan could not commit murder in the resort hotel.

If these two people died in the hotel, it would be difficult for them to clear their names.

And now...

The two walked out of the hotel lobby and got into their car and left on their own, in full view of everyone.

He finally died more than 20 kilometers away!

Moreover, the two attacked each other inside the car, and died in the struggle, resulting in the car being destroyed and both of them dying.

Even if the person behind it investigates afterward, they will assume that the man kidnapped the Russian woman, but she resisted halfway there...

Everything seemed to have nothing to do with Chen Yan.

The only connection between Chen Yan and these two people is that they once stayed at the same hotel—a resort hotel with at least several hundred guests!

As for the parking lot, the Russian woman once tried to steal her own car.

Chen Yan checked and found that when Mao Mei stole the car, she destroyed the parking lot's surveillance cameras.

I didn't take a picture.

·
Faced with this situation, Chen Yan actually wanted to leave this place immediately.

But he immediately realized that if he left now, he would be very conspicuous and suspicious if someone investigated him later.

So Chen Yan patiently stayed there for another two days.

Every day is just a routine: drinking coffee in a café, reading magazines, going to the ski resort to enjoy the scenery, having a big meal at the resort's restaurant, and then going back to the room to rest and scroll through my phone.

And so we stayed for another two days.

During this time, he observed that the day after the two died, local police came to the hotel to investigate and even went into the Russian woman's room.

There were even police officers knocking on Chen Yan's door, but it was just a routine check to ask Chen Yan, the guest living across the hall, if he had heard or seen anything suspicious.

After Chen Yan said no, the police made a simple record and left.

What happened after that had nothing to do with Chen Yan.

On the fifth day of his stay at the resort, Chen Yan checked out and left.

The G-Wagon trudged along the road where the snow had not yet melted, slowly leaving the area.

·
night.

The hotel room door opened quietly, and two figures quickly entered from the darkness.

The empty room was unoccupied. The two people who entered did not turn on the lights, but instead carried a flashlight and quietly walked to the center of the room.

This is the room where Chen Yan used to live.

After checking out, the room was cleaned and tidied, and everything looked clean and tidy.

One of them stood in the center of the room, looked around, and shook his head: "There's nothing suspicious... We've checked the surrounding rooms, is there anything else you're not satisfied with? We should go back immediately, this matter is over."

"Do not."

The other person in the room, clearly a woman, said slowly in a low voice, "He's been in this room!"

"Ok?"

“There were marks on the door lock… marks left by his method of picking the lock. When he was in training, his lock-picking skills were not up to par, and he would always leave some marks. I used to laugh at him for this many times.”

The woman took a deep breath and said with certainty, "He's been in this room. He broke in by using stealth techniques!"

"Perhaps, it's a pre-operation investigation of suspicious targets? After all, this room is right across from the target room. Maybe he just thought the guest in this room was a suspicious target and came over to check?" another person holding a flashlight whispered.

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, anyway, check the guests who have stayed in this room in the last few days."

The woman's voice was slightly hoarse: "He broke into this room and picked the lock! And that bitch's room just happens to be right across the street! I don't think these are coincidences."
