Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 194, please continue. Why did you stop?
Chen Baiyu moved with light steps.

Just moments before, he had jumped from the window.

The body traced a blurry path through the air, invisible to the naked eye.

The next moment, he landed precisely on the edge of the flower bed downstairs, which was partially obscured by dense shrubs.

There was almost no knee bending to reduce the force.

Chen Baiyu only had the front part of his feet on the tiles at the edge of the flower bed; the rest of his body did not touch the bushes.

So naturally, not even a single fallen leaf was disturbed.

And after landing and settling down.

Chen Baiyu's figure moved silently toward the two people like a ghost.

This is an area in which he is extremely confident.

He was extremely satisfied with his stealth skills.

Because he doesn't need to breathe, can control his heart rate, and can even make no sound at all when he walks.

It is easy to achieve near-perfect stealth.

It's fast and silent, just like a highly professional assassin.

This was in an era when there weren't so many cameras.

He was a born assassin.

Even in modern society, cosplaying as Now You See Me wouldn't be a problem.

With such powerful abilities, Chen Baiyu strode forward.

Without anyone noticing.

He was already standing quietly in the shadows less than three meters behind the two people.

It was as if he had always been standing there.

In fact, this is already a relatively good situation for those two people.

Based on Chen Baiyu's habits when playing Assassin's Creed, if he wasn't detected, then he was just stealthing properly; if he was detected...

That's when it's time to unleash your power!

If you eliminate everyone who sees him, isn't that a perfect form of stealth?

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu's hands hung naturally at his sides, his gaze coldly fixed on the two guys in front of him who were whispering into their phones.

The two men were completely unaware of him.

It's perfectly normal not to notice him.

Even if they couldn't hear him approaching, theoretically they should have noticed him standing behind them while occasionally looking around.

However, they lacked any due vigilance, clearly demonstrating the incompetence and ineptitude of modern, sub-healthy, and useless nature of humans.

Being at the bottom of the food chain for too long has caused all humans to gradually lose their ability to be vigilant.

of course.

Chen Baiyu could understand.

Given humanity's current position in nature, there is indeed no need for us to pay constant attention to every little thing happening around us, 24/7.

As long as you're not in the wild.

If one simply lives an ordinary life in a steel jungle-like city, most people can probably live peacefully until they die of old age.

While thinking this way...

Chen Baiyu was about to do something.

I was interrupted by the system voice in my ear.

【drop! 】

[Blasphemy detected! How dare this despicable spy desecrate the realm of the gods on earth?!]

[Mission Name: Immediately Unleash the Punishment of Fear!]

[Mission Requirements: Crush their folly with overwhelming power, forever branding their soul with a mark of trembling, so that they will forever remain far from the Holy Land, never daring to look back!]

[Task Reward: 300 Experience Points]

[Task Evaluation: Do not let your majesty become a laughingstock in the mortal world!]

This mission is not complicated.

Anyone can basically understand it at a glance.

This was meant to scare the two paparazzi away, preventing them from staying and disrupting his life.

The task description for this mission was also very brief.

Obviously, the system was too lazy to bother with elaborate, childish language to fill in the background of the mission for something as trivial as scaring away two paparazzi.

However, fewer words obviously does not mean fewer rewards.

Three hundred experience points isn't a huge amount, but it's definitely not a small number either.

After all, he currently has 664 experience points, which is not far from the 1000 points needed for the next level up.

Adding these 300s makes it 964.

Considering the 10%-50% experience bonus from the Scholar title, he will most likely be able to level up to level 10 immediately after completing this task.

If he's unlucky, he might just randomly get a 10% experience bonus, which only brings him a paltry 30 extra experience points.

After completing the task, his experience points will reach the critical value of 994, which means he is just a little bit away from leveling up.

This is completely out of control.

It's so unpleasant to even think about.

of course.

Chen Baiyu didn't think she was that unlucky.

The experience bonus from the Scholar title fluctuates between 10% and 50%. As long as the bonus triggered is greater than or equal to 12%, it is enough to directly level up to level 10 after this mission ends.

This is obviously not difficult.

What is the probability that any random percentage number drawn from the range of 10% to 50% will be greater than or equal to 12%?

The answer is 95%.

In the few seconds that Chen Baiyu was thinking this,

The two people in front of him still hadn't noticed him.

The paparazzo on the left, who wasn't making a phone call, hunched over and lit a cigarette.

The cheap cigarette held between his fingers emitted a thin column of bluish-gray smoke.

The crimson flames flickered in the afternoon light, but failed to reveal the danger lurking behind them.

The paparazzo on the right, who is on the phone, is slightly more muscular and is wearing an inconspicuous brown jacket.

He was still on the phone, chatting with his boss.

His face had a touch of shrewd, mercenary air about it.

He leaned slightly forward, his voice low and slightly obsequious: "Alright, alright, you'll hear good news from me, Li Si, and Zhang San!"

next moment.

The call was hung up.

The shrewd paparazzi, Li Si, let out a long sigh of relief.

That feeling of relief after finally dealing with a troublesome boss is something most people can relate to.

If he didn't have to rely on his boss for food and a living, he would sometimes really want to slap his boss across the face.

A skinny paparazzi named Zhang San, who was standing nearby, saw this.

He immediately threw the half-smoked cigarette butt on the ground.

Then, while crushing the sparks with his toe, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean? Is the boss pressing us?"

Li Si nodded, a complex look in his eyes: "I urged them."

"Then what's next?"

Zhang San asked in confusion.

Don't let his thinness fool you.

Actually, before becoming a paparazzi, when he and Li Si were working together as pickpockets in the early 2000s, he was always the more capable and ruthless fighter, while the seemingly stronger Li Si was actually the brains of the two of them.

"Tsk, these kinds of 'ordinary people' who become famous overnight are the most difficult to deal with. They are not very wary, but they can put on airs very quickly."

"Don't rush into following or secretly filming. We'll find an opportunity to go up and knock on the door later, saying it's a random survey of the community to gauge the friendliness of new residents, or..."

After thinking for a moment, Li Si said this.

But I haven't finished yet.

Zhang San then chimed in, "Or perhaps you could pretend to be some small-scale self-media personality and ask him to share how his life has changed since becoming an internet sensation? Be nice to him, try to get on his good side first?"

He quickly picked up the conversation and offered suggestions.

This is clearly not their first time being paparazzi.

If none of that works, the two of them, who weren't exactly respectable people to begin with, have some even more annoying tricks up their sleeves.

"Correct!"

“Most people appear low-key on the surface, but secretly they crave attention. There's a chance we can get them to agree to an interview, then give the interview footage to our company to embellish and generate buzz.” “If they agree to the interview, even if we don't catch them saying anything sensational, we'll have our job done. The editors at our company will naturally make up some sensational stories. But if they don't agree to the interview, then we have to…”

Li Si spoke eloquently, meticulously arranging the next steps for the two of them.

He is indeed very experienced in this area.

You could even say they're very familiar with the place.

In fact, he has done this to many celebrities, and several news stories in the entertainment industry that led to the downfall of celebrities are related to him.

They secretly filmed, followed, and staked out places every day, and were even arrested and detained for a few days for doing such things.

This time, he also felt that there wasn't much of a problem.

She's just a newly famous amateur internet celebrity.

Are there any wealthy celebrities who can afford to hire security companies and professional detectives who are difficult to deal with?

Li Si was still talking.

But Zhang San wasn't listening.

He was frozen in place as if nailed to the spot by an invisible icicle; his hand, which had just reached for the cigarette case in his pocket, froze instantly.

His cloudy eyes stared straight past Li Si's shoulder, fixated on a point to his side and behind him, as if his breath had stopped for a moment.

Li Si waited a moment but didn't hear his partner respond, so he frowned in dissatisfaction.

Turning to the side, I wanted to urge them: "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you even listening to what I'm saying? What are you spacing out for..."

"What are you looking at..."

he said.

Subconsciously, he turned his head in the direction of Zhang San's bewildered gaze.

Just one glance.

Li Si flinched as if he had been electrocuted, and his words came to an abrupt halt.

His mouth was slightly open.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, all his previous shrewd calculations vanished, leaving only a look of astonishment and bewilderment as if he had seen a ghost.

Less than three meters behind them.

Chen Baiyu, whom they had been discussing for a long time, was now standing there quietly.

Li Si felt that if he asked when the other side would arrive, they might say they had been there from the beginning.

The afternoon sun slanted through the windows of the corridor.

It seemed to penetrate Chen Baiyu's body, casting a deep shadow on his face.

It inexplicably sends chills down your spine.

When Chen Baiyu saw that the two had finally discovered him, he did not take a step.

He simply leaned against the stair railing, resting his elbow on the railing, his hand supporting his chin as he quietly watched the two people.

But even if that's all there is to it...

However, this put even more pressure on the two of them than in a 1v1 endgame game.

That feeling of tension.

That sense of oppression.

The two paparazzi felt as if they were Shinji Ikari, facing the gaze of his cold-blooded father, Commander Ikari.

He was completely speechless.

The two suddenly fell silent.

Chen Baiyu chose to speak in an eerily calm voice: "Speak up, why did you stop talking?"

These guys' plan sounds pretty well-thought-out.

He was indeed prepared to remain in a spectator's mood and listen for a while longer. However, given the current situation, it was clear that he couldn't continue listening.

Faced with Chen Baiyu's questioning, Li Si couldn't help but swallow hard.

He didn't know why, but he felt a sense of worry and fear.

It was just that the person in question discovered it.

He used to be unafraid of such things, and would even openly admit to following him in this situation, since he wouldn't be punished much anyway.

but……

At this moment, he was simply afraid.

He didn't know why.

I just felt a chill rush from my tailbone straight to the top of my head, making my scalp tingle.

He forced back the gasp rising in his throat, trying to explain, "Uh... Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand, we actually..."

however.

Chen Baiyu had absolutely no interest in listening to his weak and feeble explanation.

Before Li Si could continue speaking...

He straightened up.

Then he casually raised his left hand and swung it towards the stair railing next to him.

Because the range of motion is too small.

So it seems like not much force was used.

It was as if they were just chasing away a tiny, insignificant flying insect.

But the result was unexpected.

A deep, muffled sound, carrying the mournful wail of some kind of metallic internal structure, rang out.

Followed by.

The once straight iron railing handrail is broken.

It was as fragile as a stick-shaped biscuit struck by an invisible giant hammer, instantly breaking apart at the point where Chen Baiyu's palm landed.

A faint hissing sound emanated from the broken metal fibers.

Even the wooden handrails on the iron railings were shattered by the twisting force, with several small pieces breaking off along with them.

The whole process happened in an instant.

Zhang San and Li Si were both stunned and stood motionless, their minds blank for a moment, unable to process what was happening.

hiss……

Isn't this right?

What the heck is this...?

Is it superhuman strength? Or the legendary martial arts?
If that were to slap me...

That would leave you covered in bruises, patches here and there, each bite taken by someone else...

Li Si felt as if a cold, large hand was gripping his throat tightly, his words abruptly cut off, while his thoughts raced wildly.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the broken iron railing wreckage.

He remained speechless for a long time.

He could clearly hear the frantic pounding of his own heart, and the heavy, labored breathing of Zhang San beside him, like a broken bellows.

Both of them suddenly remembered the Ultimate Creature video they had seen before coming here, and realized that the many videos this guy had posted did not seem to be special effects at all.

Some netizens who didn't believe the original surveillance videos were wrong.

In reality, the man in front of me is a genuine ultimate being.

He is undoubtedly an exceptionally strong man.

That overwhelming sense of masculinity is enough to make any man feel like a woman when he's around.

Therefore, under immense pressure.

The two were like insects frozen in amber, their courage and ability to move even an inch completely gone.

The air seemed to freeze.

Only the afternoon sunlight and deathly silence remained.

Chen Baiyu silently withdrew her hand.

The cold, expressionless look on his face vanished, replaced by a smile.

But in the eyes of the two paparazzi.

That expression...

It was even more eerie than the calm before!

"I think we have reached a consensus."

Chen Baiyu spoke calmly again.

It's like the organizers of a game unilaterally announcing the rules.

Zhang San and Li Si didn't know what consensus they had reached.

However, the two of them nodded in unison, agreeing with the person in front of them without hesitation.

She was clearly afraid that if she nodded even a little too slowly, the man in front of her would twist her in half like a crunchy stick-shaped biscuit.
