Chapter 726: Chapter 621 Xu Shuo: I’m So Weak…
The man in night-black clothes hid behind a wall not far from Fragrant Residence Bar, apparently planning something.
Miss Champagne’s target must be Mr. Lei.
But at this moment, the bar was heavily surrounded, and not only Mr. Lei but also Inspector Berrod, who could also be a player, was present. Even if she really wanted to complete her mission, now was not the time to make a move.
After all, the other side hadn’t managed to kill Mr. Lei in their two previous attempts, so their strength was probably on par with each other’s.
Anyone with a bit of brains wouldn’t try to fight two at once, not now.
Unless she wanted to rescue the bartender.
...
Xu Shuo found a better position to observe from and quietly focused on every move she made, and after a while, he saw her bend over and pick something up from the ground.
A detonator cap.
Shoot.
This woman must have spent all her money on bombs.
A fruit knife appeared in Xu Shuo’s hand, which he threw directly towards her, and at the same time, his whole body swiftly rushed out!
Whoosh—
The moment she sensed danger, the shadow holding the detonator cap immediately let go, and the fruit knife collided with the metal object, sending the detonator rolling on the ground.
The shadow looked fiercely towards the direction of the attack, and in the moonlit night, a cold flash passed before her eyes as the man holding the fruit knife charged at her!
“Clang!”
The blade clashed against another detonator cap pulled out by the shadow, ringing sharply.
Xu Shuo’s speed of attack was extremely fast, with barely any defensive action; it was almost like a fight that traded blow for blow, the knife’s blade targeting the shadow’s vital points for an attack.
However, while he dared to charge blindly, the shadow did not entertain the idea of a brute force fight.
After using the detonator cap to block his fruit knife, she suddenly pulled the detonator’s fuse, then drifted back like a fluttering leaf, mysteriously retreating!
Sss—
A rich black smoke billowed up.
It wasn’t a fragmentation grenade but a smoke bomb.
But before it could spread, Xu Shuo had already chased after the retreating shadow out of the smoke area, only slowing down for a moment because he had been worried it might have been a bomb.
At this time, the other side had already run quite far, nimbly weaving through the narrow alleyways, with Xu Shuo tightly locking onto her figure.
No wonder Mr. Lei said this person was hard to catch.
Indeed, she wasn’t easy to catch.
The escape technique just now was too bizarre, seeming to have an effect that confused the vision, but it was impossible for the other side to use Mutant tactics, so it was probably some kind of special movement technique that could be cultivated.
In the past, Hong Rao had always wanted Xu Shuo to learn some movement techniques in the Low Martial World, but he was greedy for the generous rewards of playing higher-level scripts, so he had dragged his feet on it for a long time.
The rewards of ordinary script playing.
They were really too meager.
Even playing the role of Inspector Berode for most of the day hadn’t triggered a Character Card.
Coming out of the “Double Happiness” script last time, it was only thanks to the bride’s gift of a prop that he could maintain a semblance of reward, and that was a relatively dangerous Mutant Script, which is why the reward was a bit more.
It showed that ordinary scripts really were quite poor.
But now it seemed…
Perhaps he could go to that world and learn a bit?
Anyway, he was currently padding his count of Second Level Scripts, so he could consider it a business trip and incidentally learn a movement technique.
As Xu Shuo thought about these things, he didn’t slow down in his pursuit.
But the other was really running both fast and sneakily; seeing that he was about to lose track of her, Xu Shuo decisively finished changing his clothes in a second, blending into the darkness completely.
The next moment, he appeared behind the shadow and threw a punch towards the back of her head!
Thump!
He had successfully decked the target.
Looking at the shadow lying on the ground, Xu Shuo couldn’t help but sigh.
Sure enough, his real body was still too weak.
To chase after a Second Level player, he had even had to use Qiuzi.
After confirming that the shadow wouldn’t wake up any time soon, Xu Shuo reverted to his actual character and picked up the person sprawled on the ground, turning to head back to Fragrant Residence Bar.
…
Fragrant Residence Bar.
Mr. Lei looked at the person in black lying on the ground like a dead dog in surprise, then at the young man sitting on the sofa looking somewhat moody and deep in thought.
This guy went out for five minutes and managed to bring someone back for him?
The speed was just too fast!
No wonder he dared to go head-to-head with an Abyss Creature!
Mr. Lei ran over gleefully and pulled off the masked individual’s hood to reveal a familiar, average face underneath.
There was also how their mouth was skewed to one side, their eyes half-closed and rolled back, showing the whites.
Mr. Lei: “…” So ugly.
Could he have beaten the person to death?
He hastily checked the masked person’s breathing and was relieved to find they weren’t dead.
However, a girl who faints looking this ugly probably hadn’t even realized what was happening before losing consciousness, meaning the attack happened in an instant.
Mr. Lei immediately cast an admiring glance at the initiator.
Having clashed with this woman twice, he was well aware of how bizarre her movement techniques were and how fast she could run.
To achieve a one-hit knockout…
This bro, he’s made a lifelong friend!
“Thanks a lot!”
Mr. Lei gave Xu Shuo a thumbs up, flashing a smile that showed all eight of his teeth.
Xu Shuo glanced at him, then looked away.
Mr. Lei was used to his cold demeanor and continued to look at Miss Champagne in front of him, remembering that this woman could change faces, and thus started feeling her face for a quite a while.
He searched longer than Xu Shuo had.
It took him ages to find a trace of her disguise, and then he began to peel off the mask, bit by bit.
“Damn!”
After seeing the face underneath the disguise, Mr. Lei stumbled and quickly jumped back.
The assistant was startled by his sudden movement, but upon glancing down at the person on the ground, also gasped sharply and took a half step back instinctively.
It was a twisted face.
Densely packed, the scars from burns spun like whirlpools, the destroyed skin tissue messily stuck together, vaguely revealing the color of flesh and blood, and the features were all out of place—it was a horrendous sight.
“Hiss… hasn’t she gone for rehabilitation?”
Mr. Lei said with a shock on his face, also looking somewhat sympathetic, though he felt sorry for the character rather than the person.

Xu Shuo took a glance: “Is it possible that she simply didn’t have the money? And repairing such severe disfigurement surely would only be possible with medical facilities in the Uptown District, right?”
Mr. Lei shook his head in disapproval: “I really am a scumbag!”
“Glad you know it.”
“…”
You actually agree? I was just earning some performance points.
…
After confirming Miss Champagne’s true identity, Mr. Lei felt settled, then handed her over to the police, tying her up and chucking her into the rest room.
The bartender in the rest room: “…”
He looked at the woman tied up opposite him, who was still unconscious, and didn’t know what to say.
Someone could actually be this awesome and capture this woman?
He had witnessed her hiding ability.
If she could be captured, he had to be even more cautious, and just like that, plans that he had just settled on were overturned and restarted.
About fifteen minutes later.
Miss Champagne also woke up from her stupor, feeling the throbbing pain in the back of her head, and opened her eyes groggily to survey the surroundings.
Then she realized she was in an unfamiliar environment and also saw the bartender tied up opposite her.
After that, she finally noticed her own predicament.
Miss Champagne: “…”
The bartender: “…”
The two of them exchanged silent glances, saying nothing.
