Interestingly, Lin'an Ru, who was used as bait, was not a blank slate. She was equipped with three pieces of equipment that could substitute for death and a lot of protective equipment that could be triggered, but the equipment did not trigger.

As expected of a professional assassin organization, the Black Line's assassination methods, which ignore defenses and various equipment, are truly outstanding.

Unfortunately, it encountered its own Bai Ze.

He gave Han Yun a look, and Han Yun understood. The two put down what they were carrying and silently headed towards a rental house that faced the Zhongzhou Museum.

……

Inside a rented room.

A man with ordinary features, so ordinary that he would be easily lost in a crowd, walked to the bedroom window, opened the curtains slightly, and took out a large-caliber sniper rifle.

Taking a breath, the man focused his gaze on Lin Anru, who was half a kilometer away. After confirming the location, he took out a specially made sniper rifle bullet.

"Load the bullets into the magazine, then aim the scope at Lin Anru's head," the man whispered.

May the Jade Emperor forgive our sins.

"Tap..."

Footsteps came from outside the rented room, followed by a knock on the door, and someone outside asked a question.

"Would you like to order a set meal? The braised pork set meal is the cheapest right now, half a pound of braised pork is only 20 yuan."

The man's sniper rifle had a silencer, but the apartment had poor soundproofing, and if he fired now, the salesman outside might hear him.

The man said in a low voice.

"Need not."

"No, please don't refuse, brother. My mother is sick, and I have to support my son. We're relying on takeout to survive. Please buy some."

The man holding the sniper rifle remained silent, only his brows slowly furrowing.

Half a second later, the shadow behind the man lengthened.

His bloodline is Yu, the Yu of veiled innuendo. His bloodline ability is to control shadows and to cast curses specifically on shadows. The shot he fired at Lin Anru relied on the transformation between shadow and reality, combined with his innate curse and a demigod-made poison, to kill Lin Anru in one blow.

There's no need to worry about what happens afterward. He can simply throw his weapons and clothes into the shadows, and no one will be able to find his weapons. He can then leave Zhongzhou City with ease.

But this composure seemed to be failing; people were constantly approaching from outside the door, and the man prepared to hide in the shadows and escape.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, a wave like the ocean crashed down on his back, engulfing the man. This demon-level awakened being, whose awakening was almost at its peak, struggled in the water for a few moments before fainting.

Zhou Yan pushed open the door of the rented room and went inside. He saw the assassin holding an anti-materiel sniper rifle being enveloped by a ball of water-based slime.

The water-type slime also spat out a killer's tooth, which was hollow and contained a demigod's toxin that could kill instantly.

Han Yun sneered.

"I am here, and you still want to commit suicide?"

Han Yun spat out another cell phone, which then rang.

Zhou Yan walked over, took the phone, and then spoke in a low voice.

Have you eaten yet?

A hoarse voice came from the phone.

"No, where can I find recommendations?"

"The Mapo Tofu set meal at Sanli Street is good, but there are too many strawberries."

The person on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm, why haven't you made a move yet?"

To kill Lin Anru this time, there were two assassins lying in ambush. What Zhou Yan just said was the exchange between these assassins. If they said the wrong thing, the other side would run away.

Zhou Yan, holding his phone, walked towards the location of another assassin.

"I'll have a piece of candy..."

"He sighed from the other side."

"You snipers really have all sorts of quirks."

……

Wutong Hotel.

Su Xiaowan got out of bed with a yawn.

The little fox scratched its face with its tiny paws and then went to the bathroom to wash up again.

When her awakening level was low, Su Xiaowan didn't brush her teeth or wash her face, and she didn't do any daily cleaning. Recently, her awakening level has increased, and at Zhou Yan's request, Su Xiaowan cleans herself up thoroughly every day.

After cleaning up, Su Xiaowan took some bread from the refrigerator and then jumped out of the window with the bread she had prepared. After landing, she headed straight for the refugee camp in the suburbs.

These past few days, Su Xiaowan has been going to the disaster area every day or two because Zhou Yan praises her for her rescue efforts.

Su Xiaowan was very happy that she could make Zhou Yan happy.

Thanks to the pills given to her by Zhou Yan, Su Xiaowan's awakening level has reached 43%, which has made her physical fitness 1,500 times better than that of a normal person, and her movements are close to the speed of sound.

With the aid of the sonic speed, Su Xiaowan quickly arrived at the disaster area on the outskirts of the city.

For some reason, Su Xiaowan had a slight feeling when she arrived at the disaster area today that it was a little different from usual.

Su Xiaowan stood on a shipping container outside the disaster relief area, her two little paws pressing up and down on the rusty metal of the container. After looking for a long time, Su Xiaowan realized that the disaster relief area seemed to be relatively quiet today, with not many people walking around inside.

Why is that?

Su Xiaowan scratched her head with her little paws. This little fox, who had only been with Zhou Yan for half a year, was naive and ignorant of the dangers of the world. She searched her head but couldn't find an explanation that matched the scene.

Finally, Su Xiaowan had no choice but to get off the container and slowly walk into the disaster area.

She also wanted Zhou Yan to say she was a good girl and to praise her, so Su Xiaowan endured this somewhat abnormal scene, figuring she could just run away after finishing her business.

Su Xiaowan walked briskly to the outside of several tents and placed the bread at the door. Normally, once the bread was placed, the people inside the tents would quickly reach out and take it.

But not today, and Su Xiaowan found it increasingly strange.

But for Zhou Yan's sake, Su Xiaowan obediently divided up all the bread she had brought. While she was dividing it, Su Xiaowan heard a cough coming from one of the tents, a cough that sounded like someone was coughing up their insides.

A patient?!

Su Xiaowan stopped her little paws. Although Su Xiaowan liked it when Zhou Yan praised her as a good child, she also enjoyed seeing the smiles of sick people who were relieved by her treatment.

Su Xiaowan entered the tent. There was a strange smell inside. An old man was lying in the tent. His face was pale and he kept coughing up blood.

Su Xiaowan walked to the old man's side and breathed auspicious air onto his face.

The old man's cough immediately subsided, and his face showed signs of relief.

Su Xiaowan liked the old man's comfortable appearance. She breathed a few more breaths of auspicious air on him, and after the old man stopped coughing, Su Xiaowan skipped away from the tent.

As soon as she stepped outside, Su Xiaowan sensed something was wrong. The strange feeling was that the lights were on in the surrounding tents, but there wasn't a single person in sight, as if everyone around her had left.

Su Xiaowan tilted her head.

What's wrong with me today?

Why are so many messy things happening in this disaster area?

Su Xiaowan went to check several nearby tents and found that they were indeed empty. Judging from the traces left behind, they must have just left.

Su Xiaowan lowered her head and followed the footprints. Not long after she walked, she heard panicked cries coming from not far away.

"That fox demon is here..."

"Run!"

"None of these awakened ones are good people..."

"Where's the gun? Does anyone have a gun?!"

Su Xiaowan's heart sank, and then her head began to spin.

Even though Su Xiaowan hasn't been exposed to many things yet, she already sensed that something was wrong.

Whether it's a wild animal or a human, the reaction to sensing danger is usually the same: to run.

Su Xiaowan turned her head and ran with her paws raised, but she hadn't run for long when a net covered with various talismans fell from the sky, covering Su Xiaowan from all sides.

Su Xiaowan's dizziness worsened, but that didn't stop her from opening her mouth and spitting out a huge fireball two meters high. The fireball shot into the sky and burned the net wrapped with numerous talismans to ashes.

Beyond the flames, a soft laugh rang out.

"Those monstrous methods are nothing but child's play."

Waiting for Su Xiaowan to send a fireball, the result of melting a car, into the air and explode, another net will fall.

The priest of the Miluo ○○ Church, who was trying to capture Su Xiaowan, prepared a total of fifteen nets. He wanted to see whether Su Xiaowan, who was under the influence of "Immortal's Fall," was stronger, or whether he had more magical artifacts.

With her mind almost completely blank, Su Xiaowan hurriedly took out her phone from the small backpack on her back, only to find that the falling net had already entangled her.

Despite the pressure of being caught, Su Xiaowan found Zhou Yan's WeChat account and sent him a message.

"Brother, I've been arrested, save me!"

After typing this message, Su Xiaowan's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

After a while, Pastor Wang, dressed in a priest's robe, came out. Behind him stood dozens of people. The leader of the group followed Pastor Wang to the edge of the net that was entangled with Su Xiaowan. After seeing that Su Xiaowan had closed her eyes and was not moving at all, the leader hurriedly shouted.

"The priest is invincible in divine power, exorcising demons and monsters; he is truly a god."

Many spectators also came over and marveled when they saw Su Xiaowan trapped in the talisman net.

"Is this the demon fox?"

"This is disgusting. What exactly does this Awakened One want to do? Why does he come here to harm people every day?"

"Maybe he's retaliating against society because his parents died."

Several children who had previously been treated by Su Xiaowan, and whose minds had changed after their parents told them that Su Xiaowan was a bad person, picked up stones and threw them at the unconscious Su Xiaowan.

The ignorant child was still shouting.

"Bad guy..."

"I'll smash you to death..."

Small stones kept hitting Su Xiaowan, but she didn't move.

He walked down to Pastor Wang's side, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully.

"Now that this villain has been captured alive, in order to prevent him from harming people again in the future, Taoist priest, why don't we skin this fox, pull out its tendons, and kill it?"

He had been saved by Su Xiaowan before he logged off, but now he felt guilty for repaying kindness with enmity. So he wanted to find this priest to kill Su Xiaowan completely, so that he wouldn't have to worry about revenge in the future.

Several burly men around him, who shared the same thought as the person below, immediately shouted as well.

"Kill this monster!"

"Kill this monster!"

"Kill this monster!"

People around who had little connection with Su Xiaowan also shouted when they saw this.

"Kill this monster!"

"Kill this monster!"

In the Eastern Xia Federation, the status of Awakened Ones is similar to that of capitalists. The lower class is hostile to Awakened Ones, and if they have the opportunity to kill one, they will definitely not let it go.

As for whether killing Su Xiaowan would lead to retaliation, these disaster victims don't know where they'll be tomorrow, so why would they be afraid of retaliation?

A burly man stepped forward and volunteered.

“I used to run a rural business, and I’m the best at killing these animals. Pastor Wang, give me this fox, and I’ll skin it all off for you and make you a scarf.”

As he spoke, the burly man looked at Su Xiaowan's white fur and exclaimed in admiration.

"This fox demon has such fine skin, so shiny and lustrous, it must be high-end."

Pastor Wang glanced at the civilians around him who were shouting to kill Su Xiaowan, pondered for a few seconds, and then shook his head.

"This monster probably has some accomplices. It would be better to take him back and interrogate him thoroughly before dealing with him."

Pastor Wang looked at the people he had recruited.

"is not it?"

To be honest, I really like to give Su Xiaowan a quick death now and resolve any potential future retaliation, but what Pastor Wang said about accomplices is indeed very worrying.
