Chapter 574: Chapter 156: Midnight Assassination
Hei Mu is not an ordinary person; to be able to sit in the position of the Law Enforcement Team Captain, his strength already surpasses the vast majority of wizards.
It is almost certain that he will become a Great Wizard.
"Hei Mu, oh Hei Mu, to think you died in such a place, how truly pathetic."
Otto, instead, showed a smile, then adjusted his expression and said:
"I’ve already locked onto his position. I will personally deal with him, you don’t need to worry about it. As for the vacant position of the Law Enforcement Team Captain, the Great Wizard Richie will decide later."
...
During this period, the Law Enforcement Team had turned the administrative area upside down, yet still found no trace of the killer, as if he had vanished into thin air.
But every night, the killer would appear punctually, causing explosions.
This kind of destruction was not painful for them but was a huge nuisance, making people feel annoyed, like a buzzing insect.
Night.
There were very few people on the streets, only the traffic lights flickering continuously, emitting a buzzing electric sound.
Luo Haotian, wearing a coat, walked out the door, looked around, exhaled a stream of smoke, and threw the cigarette butt on the ground, extinguishing it.
He lowered the hat on his head, walked towards the center of the whole administrative area, gripping a rusty short knife in his sleeve.
The explosion had just occurred.
The wizards at this moment couldn’t pay attention to him.
A place that reared sheep didn’t need anyone to watch over, and even patrolling soldiers couldn’t be seen on the streets.
Only a few people lying on the street corners, very much out of it.
Some were slumped on the ground, staring at the sky, making strange noises, some posing in odd postures, their bodies constantly twitching.
Their minds were in an abnormal state, the blood vessels on their skin protruded, revealing a dark purple fluorescence.
From a few days ago, the soldiers at the watchtower began distributing some black crystals to them, just smelling these black crystals made one extremely excited, and bodily functions would dramatically increase.
These black crystals were highly addictive, more terrifying than drugs, capable of driving people completely mad.
And more importantly, only a small portion of people could survive after consuming these black crystals, and even if they survived, their mental state wouldn’t be quite right.
The center of the administrative area.
Luo Shaohua leaned on a chair on the balcony, holding a glass filled with red wine in one hand, with a table full of food before him.
He watched the flames from the distant explosion, his face brimming with a smile; for others, this might be hell, but not for him.
"This person is really incredible, he hasn’t been caught until now, and this is all thanks to him."
He muttered to himself, using a fork to pick up a piece of steak, putting it in his mouth to chew and taste.
This meat wasn’t ordinary meat; it belonged to a monster in the black fog, resembling a buffalo, with dark red skin, two heads, and a large body.
Its aggressiveness wasn’t strong, and the meat was edible, with an excellent taste.
Many monsters’ flesh and blood had deadly poison, but a few were still edible.
Human adaptability is always pretty good.
"Who!"
He suddenly sensed someone behind him; he got up, turned back to look, only to be kicked and sent flying, crashing into the wall.
Luo Haotian looked at him, mockingly saying: "Young Master Yuan, you seem to have quite refined tastes, eating these things probably better than before the apocalypse, right."
"Who are you!"
Yuan Shaohua struggled on the ground, looking at the masked man before him in shock and uncertainty, the pain in his chest reminding him that this person was very strong.
But in the administrative area, everyone was an ordinary person, so how could there be someone stronger than him?
Luo Haotian didn’t reply, questioning: "Was it you who killed Zhang Xue Tao, Principal Zhang? Only you would take the initiative to kill him. Even in these circumstances, attacking your own kin, you are truly scum!"
"Scum?"
Yuan Shaohua laughed out loud after hearing this. "Haven’t you killed anyone? In this apocalypse, there are many who kill, and Zhang Xue Tao’s situation was his own doing."
Just as he finished speaking.
He drew the handgun from his waist and fired at Luo Haotian continuously, the gunshots reverberating in the night sky, sounding extraordinarily clear.
Such ordinary guns were not banned in the administrative area; they posed no threat to people of the Wizard World.
The bullets shot were dodged by Luo Haotian one by one; he approached and kicked the gun from Yuan Shaohua’s hand.
Yuan Shaohua drew a long, thin blade from behind and stabbed towards Luo Haotian’s neck; suddenly, his speed increased sharply.
Luo Haotian reacted, using the short knife in his hand to flick it away, feeling the astonishing force coming from it.
Yuan Shaohua wasn’t an ordinary person; he possessed such strength, but he wasn’t an Extraordinary either.
"Tell me, who are you? Why do you want to kill me."
Yuan Shaohua attempted to retreat, staring at Luo Haotian, speaking in a deep voice.
There were many people in the administrative area; he couldn’t know them all, and the other party was bundled up tightly, even if it was someone familiar, he might not recognize them.
Luo Haotian let out a cold snort:
"Why kill you? Don’t you know yourself? Do you think killing a traitor needs any other reason?"
Yuan Shaohua’s eye twitched slightly, his expression uncertain, saying:
"Is it just because I’m sitting in this position? We are nothing but a group of prisoners; what more do you want!"
"If you’re really that capable, go kill those wizards... causing trouble for me, you’re just a bully who’s afraid of the strong."
Luo Haotian examined him, countered: "Aren’t the black crystals your means? Isn’t withholding rations your doing?"
Yuan Shaohua laughed in rage: "You’re just that ignorant, just like those people. If everyone truly received enough food, then the food distributed from above would still decrease."
"That’s what those wizards want to see, so that’s why I did it, do you understand? Killing me won’t make any difference, it’s just replacing one person sitting here, it won’t change anything."
"On the contrary, after killing me, you’ll expose yourself, making it even less necessary."
He tried to persuade him gently.
His strength was no match for Luo Haotian; he could only try to convince him on the opposite side.
Luo Haotian stared at him, asked again:
"Then who killed Zhang Xue Tao, if not you, then who? Surely not those wizards, they don’t need such means."
Yuan Shaohua spread his hands, looking helpless, said: "How would I know, what good would it do me to kill him... and if I wanted to kill him, it wouldn’t need to be so troublesome."
"I just need to report suspicious characters to Harley, that would be enough to see him dead; those wizards wouldn’t spare any suspicious individuals."
"Since an Extraordinary like you can hide here, then others can too, surely you can’t blame it all on me after someone’s dead."
As he spoke, he appeared even more relaxed, his eyes pitch black, just like those wizards.
