It was in front of the window of a family on the first floor.

The more he kills, the greater his advancement will be.

"Mom, what's that loud rumbling noise outside?"

A child's innocent voice came from inside the house.

"Maybe someone is renovating their house."

A shadow stood in front of the window and locked it.

"Mom, turn on the TV quickly! The superhero show is about to start!"

"Good good."

The figure turned around, waved his hand, and the sound of a television came from inside the room.

The thin man had reached the window and slapped the glass, trying to grab the figure behind it.

Amidst the din of the television, a figure muttered to himself, "There are no superheroes in the world."

The gleaming dagger slashed towards the thin man's outstretched hand.

The gaunt man jerked his hand back and retreated, then the dagger was raised diagonally upwards, aimed directly at the gaunt man's neck.

"Mom, there seems to be someone outside the window!"

"There's no one outside the window, baby, be good, we won't watch TV today."

The noisy television in the room suddenly went out, and the bright lights went out at the same time.

The thin man crouched down at an angle, dodging He Ao's attack while simultaneously sweeping his leg at He Ao's lower body.

The two were extremely close. The thin man was moving incredibly fast, and there was no time to dodge. He Ao mobilized all his energy, gathering it in his right calf. Then, he channeled his divine sense into his calf and kicked out, colliding with the thin man's leg.

With a crisp sound, He Ao's calf hit the ground, and a piercing pain shot through him.

The thin man rolled away and tried twice before he could stand up.

The two exchanged injuries, but the thinner man's injuries were clearly more severe than He's.

After the dagger was taken away, the two were not actually evenly matched, because He Ao had a lot of support skills. What he lacked was just a weapon that could break through C-level defense and kill the skinny man.

Theoretically, with a D-grade weapon, He Ao could upgrade it to C-grade by attaching his divine sense, thus damaging the skinny man. The problem is that he doesn't even have a D-grade weapon; he can only find some ordinary quality mercenary standard daggers.

Upgrading this dagger not only consumes a large amount of spiritual energy, but it also doesn't necessarily achieve the effect of killing a C-level enemy.

Therefore, the best approach is to steal the thin man's alloy dagger. This way, one side gains while the other loses, which will both enhance He Ao's strength and weaken the thin man.

That's why He Ao devised a plan to seize the dagger.

Having obtained a suitable weapon, even with his current severe injuries, He Ao would find it much easier to kill the thin man.

Without hesitation, He Ao pressed forward again. The thin man tried to rush into another house that was closer to him, but due to his leg injury, his speed was much slower than before, and He Ao caught up with him almost instantly.

The cold light shone down once more.

The gaunt man tried to repeat He Ao's actions, reaching out his hands to grab He Ao's dagger, but the dagger, imbued with divine consciousness, instantly severed his fingers and, to his astonishment, slashed open his neck.

Bright red blood gushed out.

The endless, chaotic energy instantly destroyed his body.

His neck is also a point where his energy gathers.

He stared wide-eyed

His eyes, still holding the last vestiges of surprise, lurched forward and crashed to the ground.

At the same time, He Ao looked up and leaped forward instantly.

A deafening explosion rang out from where he had just been standing.

That sniper.

He Ao glanced up at the figure on the tall building at the end of his field of vision, then slipped behind the building.

······

The sniper on the high-rise looked at He Ao hiding through his scope, a contemptuous smile on his face. He moved the scope around, searching his surroundings. He knew that He Ao would definitely try to fight back.

Soon, he spotted He Ao's outstretched arm at the edge of the rooftop through the scope.

"Retreat! Retreat! This employer is a madman, and his target is beyond our capabilities."

A hoarse shout came from the walkie-talkie.

The sniper reached out and pressed the walkie-talkie, cutting off communication. His eyes remained fixed on He Ao, and he kept moving the muzzle of his gun.

He witnessed the other party kill a C-level enemy, but it was clear that the other party had just fought a C-level enemy to the point of near death and was now at his last gasp, making it the best time to kill him.

The biggest difference between humans and wild beasts is that humans know how to use tools to kill powerful beasts when they are at their weakest, and then devour their succulents.

He had hit Jess before, and he knew very well that Jess's body was only at the D-rank. Judging from Jess's current combat performance, it was clear that although the opponent had improved his strength through some method, it was only in melee combat and he did not have the ability to attack from a distance or move quickly.

In other words, the opponent cannot move quickly enough to kill him, so what follows is a duel of marksmanship.

He moved the sniper scope and saw a blood-covered man climb onto the rooftop, walk close to him, and then lift the two guns hanging around his neck.

One gun, seemingly out of bullets, was released, and the other person raised another gun, aiming it in his direction.

He remained calm as he moved his aim towards Heo's head.

The target clearly knew that reloading would give him an opportunity to attack, so he simply abandoned the gun that had no magazine.

However, it is impossible to hit a target with a single shot from a position that is not visible from thousands of meters away on a rainy night using only the G-K2 Gauss rifle without any aiming aids.

The G-K2 Gauss rifle was designed for infantry close-quarters assaults, not for long-range sniping.

He had tried using this gun for sniping, but he couldn't hit human-shaped objects beyond a kilometer. The G-K2 Gauss rifle is extremely difficult to master and is basically impossible to use for sniping.

Although the target had some shooting ability, he was clearly unaware of the characteristics of the G-K2 Gauss rifle and had probably never used this gun before.

Fools will eventually pay the price for their foolishness.

He rested his head on the scope and slowly aimed the crosshair at He Ao's forehead.

He wasn't interested in the 100,000 yuan, but killing the target would add a C-level to his stats, and now was the moment when the target was at its weakest.

This will be the stepping stone for him to reach a higher level.

······

At the same time, Heo rested his head on the Gauss rifle, bracing the butt against his shoulder to stabilize the gun, his expression calm.

Both Gauss rifles had three bullets left when they encountered the thin man. He fired five shots, and one of the rifles was empty. Now, he had one bullet left in his rifle.

As his super memory unfolded, at the limit of his vision, a blurry figure stood atop a high-rise building shrouded in rain.

If it were a 'mercenary's' ability, the naked eye could directly replace a scope, but Hypermemory clearly cannot do that.

That blurry image is too blurry.

However, hyperthymesia has other abilities as well.

He Ao slowly closed his eyes, and a magnificent city model of the surrounding area was built in his mind. Then the model quickly shrank, becoming so small that it only showed the small building where he was standing and the tall building where the sniper was.

So small that the whole world consists of just the two of them.

The Gauss gun in his hand was also built into the model.

He had been familiarizing himself with the gun since the very beginning, and now it was time to test the results of all that work.

He Ao's hand was on the trigger.

At the same time, the sniper's hand was also on the trigger.

boom--

······

He Ao slowly opened his eyes, turned around, and walked back the way he came without looking back.

The battered body staggered across the rain-soaked rooftop.

On a distant high-rise building, a figure wearing a black raincoat fell backward and crashed heavily into the puddle.

A huge opening pierced through his entire chest.

Blood stained the clear rainwater red.

puff--

He Ao's feet sank into the muddy water. He put away his dagger and walked step by step toward the corpse of the thin man who had just fallen.

He crouched down, grabbed the man's ankle, and dragged him into the depths of the night.

A Class C corpse may evolve into a dangerous supernatural object, or even contaminate the surrounding area, creating a Class C bizarre phenomenon. Either way, it could lead to the innocent deaths of nearby residents.

Therefore, this body cannot be left here and needs to be disposed of somewhere that can handle it.

The rain continued to fall slowly, washing away the blood mixed with mud from the cracks in the old cement, which then flowed into the cracks of the old sewers along with the gurgling water.

After an unknown amount of time, the dark window was illuminated again, and a figure pressed tightly against the windowpane, seemingly trying to see something outside through the dark glass.

Just then, a chaotic commotion suddenly erupted behind her. She shuddered and turned around abruptly, only to hear a child's innocent voice exclaim, "Mommy, look! The superhero defeated the bad guys!"

"Baby, don't turn on the TV suddenly! You almost scared Mommy to death."

The figure stood up and moved away from the window.

······

In the shadows of the night, He Ao dragged the thin man's corpse slowly forward.

Raindrops splashed at his feet.

Soon, he reached the exit of this area, and not far ahead of him, a middle-aged man in a mercenary uniform was holding a walkie-talkie and making a call.
