Chapter 263: [214] Street Sniping, Transformed into a Demon God to Kill (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Recommendations, and Support)_1
 

In the office.

Lin Xiawei looked up at Pei Jinye several times but ultimately didn’t voice what was on her mind.

She put it succinctly, “You did very well on this mission.”

Seeing this, Pei Jinye tentatively asked, “Then, Sister, should I come to the base again in a couple of days? I had a small try with swordsmanship today and had some new insights, which might need some time.”

“Sure.”

Lin Xiawei agreed readily.

Before Pei Jinye could thank her, Lin Xiawei added, “But just to let you know, I won’t bother you if there’s nothing important. However, sometimes the master might get a whim—cough, might assign you some tasks occasionally.”

Pei Jinye chuckled, “I understand. If there’s nothing else then, I’ll head back first.”

“Do you have a ride? If not, I can have someone send you. It’s not that I’m worried about your safety, it’s just that it might be hard to get a taxi at this hour.”

Pei Jinye didn’t refuse Lin Xiawei’s kindness and left the Investigation Team’s Base in her private car.

“Brother Sun, just stop at the intersection up ahead,” Pei Jinye suddenly said.

The driver, Little Sun, parked the car at the intersection with a puzzled look, “Will you be able to get a taxi from here?”

“No worries, I have a friend who will come to meet me soon. Thanks for your trouble,” Pei Jinye said politely, showing no disdain for the driver’s humble position.

Little Sun felt a bit flattered.

Not long after.

Once the car had left.

Pei Jinye withdrew his gaze slowly.

He turned to head back to the Jiang family’s place.

To take a shortcut, he deliberately chose the slums.

The slums were pitch-dark at this hour.

The dim yellow streetlights hardly illuminated the area.

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire echoed from afar.

Pei Jinye stopped in his tracks.

Soon, the roar of a heavy motorcycle was heard.

Pei Jinye’s eyebrows raised slightly.

That sound…

Honestly, he instinctively thought of the Ice Sister from school.

And sure enough.

It was Ice Sister!

The Ice Sister, wearing a motorcycle helmet and black leather attire, couldn’t hide her impressive figure.

Pei Jinye casually plucked a leaf from a tree and flicked it with his finger.

The young man fleeing ahead was caught off guard, flung heavily into the air, while the heavy motorcycle executed a perfect half-arc drift under the cover of night.

Just as the young man was trying to get up, a high-top boot aggressively stepped on his face, sending him tumbling to the ground.

Ice Sister efficiently pinned the man to the ground and cuffed him.

Looking up.

The newcomer called out “Ice Sister.”

Ice Sister was momentarily stunned, and the man under her hand sensed the change in force and immediately tried to resist, but Ice Sister was faster, knocking him out with a punch.

Holding him in hand.

She stood up, her icy tone trying to be a bit softer, “Ah, it’s Little Pei.”

“On a mission?” Pei Jinye gestured.

Ice Sister shook her head, “Just caught a thief on the way.”

The Night Patrol Department arrived quickly and took away the unconscious young man.

Ice Sister glanced over, “Hungry? Have you had dinner yet?”

“Let’s go, it’s my treat to hotpot.”

“Hotpot is too greasy…”

“It’s fine, there’s clear broth.”

Pei’s Dalhae Lao.

Surprised by the bustling hotpot restaurant, Ice Sister asked, “When did Da Peng City get a place like this?”

“It’s my family’s,” Pei Jinye said with a light smile, adding pieces of marbled beef into the tomato broth, “This is a new base we’ve developed, quite an improvement. Give it a try.”

Pei Jinye prepared a bowl for Ice Sister with diced beef, celery, and then poured some tomato broth over it, placing it in front of her, “Try it.”

Ice Sister took a sip and her eyes shone.

“How is it?”

“Delicious,”

Pei Jinye laughed upon hearing that.

Ice Sister quickly finished the bowl and seemed a bit embarrassed, so Pei Jinye considerately served her another bowl, “Speaking of which, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”

Ice Sister took a sip and nodded, “You’ve changed a lot.”

Pei Jinye just smiled and also tasted the tomato broth.

Ice Sister tilted her head, pondering, “You seem… to have become very strong?”

“Not bad, but it was you, Ice Sister, who gave me the chance,” Pei Jinye replied with a candid smile.

Ice Sister shook her head, “You gave yourself that chance. If your speed of entering concentration hadn’t caught my attention, I wouldn’t have thought to help you.”

“There are no such ifs. Facts are as they are. Here’s to you, with soup instead of wine,” Pei Jinye gestured.

Ice Sister couldn’t help but give a bright smile and lifted her bowl to clink with his, “To be honest, I regret it.”

Pei Jinye looked up at her.

Without any pretense, Ice Sister confessed, “If only I hadn’t thought so much and pulled you into the Military Department back then, perhaps I wouldn’t have let such great talent slip through my fingers.”

Pei Jinye smiled, “No matter where I am, you’ll always be my Ice Sister.”

Ice Sister paused, lifted her head, then softly laughed and shook her head, picked up her bowl of tomato soup, and casually said, “That was heartfelt.”

…

Not far from the staircase entrance.

Father Pei peeked out, full of admiration.

“He found another one. This one’s even more beautiful…”

…

…

…

“Bang!”

A corner of the rock crumbled away under the direct touch of Pei Jinye’s finger, and he looked at his hand.

“The hardness of the body has increased again.”

Hearing rustling from the jungle, Pei Jinye nonchalantly threw some Spirit Meat over.

The morning sunlight fell, reflecting beams of light off the Giant Python’s scales.

Watching the large creature devour its meal hungrily, Pei Jinye chuckled softly as a Bluebird circled the trees before landing on his shoulder, chirping away.

Pei Jinye fed it some Spirit Rice.

“It’s good you left. With the people of Judgement Place here, it’s hard to resist picking a fight.”

The two fruitless envoys from Judgement Place started their journey back, only withdrawing from the boundary of Da Peng City when the birds pulled back.

The Bluebird’s tiny head kept nodding with righteous indignation, as if decrying the ill intentions of some big guy.

Pei Jinye kicked the Giant Python: “Stop thinking about eating others all the time. We’re colleagues, supposed to get along in the future. Keep having wicked thoughts, and I’ll twist your head off.”

The Giant Python just coiled up, hugging itself.

The Bluebird fluttered away, while the Giant Python started looking for a cool spot to digest its food.

Before long, the sounds of Pei Jinye’s training echoed from the mountain behind.

…

Approaching ten in the morning.

What Pei Jinye didn’t expect was that Gu Wutong actually sent a message, asking if he was available for some practice.

Pei Jinye: [I’m not at the base.]

Gu Wutong: [Hahaha chaotically, I’m about to head back. Let’s practice outside then. It’ll take me over half an hour to return, too far. I’ll send you an address, you check if it’s far. It’s my private practice club, not open to the public.]

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye looked at the display for a while.

Feeling the itch in his hands, he agreed.

[Wait for me ten minutes.]

[Got it.]

…

Taking several detours, Pei Jinye pretended to depart from his neighborhood and took a taxi to the address provided.

Gu Wutong messaged: [Where are you at, buddy?]

[Three minutes away.]

[Got it, just report my name when you arrive. I’ll warm up first.]

Pei Jinye smiled at this, putting down his phone.

Suddenly, he felt an ominous sense of crisis.

He violently threw himself to the side.

A “bang” sounded, and the car window shattered.

A bullet hole appeared in the seat where he had been sitting.

“Drive through it,” Pei Jinye shouted, lying on his side.

The taxi driver, having never seen such a scene, was scared stiff.

Pei Jinye cursed under his breath, opened the car door, and charged out.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

The assailant fired several more shots in quick succession.

Pei Jinye took a bullet to the back, feeling a searing pain.

Luckily, it didn’t penetrate his body…

But Pei Jinye played it smart; as soon as he was hit, he feigned injury, staggering for cover behind a rock wall.

…

“The target has been hit, but the injury location can’t be confirmed,” someone reported.

Two hundred meters away.

The sniper pressed his earpiece.

Soon after, a voice altered by a voice changer came through.

“I want him killed, you Soul Egg.”

“Give me a bit more time, I can do it,” the sniper said coldly.

But the other party was resolute, directly ordering, “Pull back. Xing Tian has been alerted, and a group from the Night Patrol Department is already on its way.”

“Alright.”

…

Behind the rock wall.

Pei Jinye looked up at the electronic eye not far away, quickly circled to one side, and used a coin at hand to destroy it. Then, he immediately used his Ability to start tracking the sniper’s location.

“Found you.”

He rushed forward at full speed.

The sniper, disguised as a tourist, suddenly sensed something and abruptly turned around. Spotting the charging Pei Jinye glaring at him, he was taken aback.

He was discovered? How is that possible!

He could no longer keep his cool and broke into a run.

But Pei Jinye was faster. The coin in his hand moved like lightning, striking the sniper, who staggered, but, incredibly, whatever Armor he was wearing kept him from being taken down.

Pei Jinye was hot on his heels.

Even closing in on him.

The sniper pulled out a silver pistol with a reverse grip and rapidly fired.

However, to his surprise, Pei Jinye’s movements were extremely agile, dodging every bullet.

“Chaotically!”

The sniper realized he had hit a snag.

No longer holding back, he grabbed the grenades off his body and tossed them over.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Explosions erupted.

The street descended into chaos.

Gu Wutong, who was warming up on the second floor, saw the street below ablaze with fire and was dumbstruck.

“What the hell, is a film crew shooting down there today?”

“Wait, is that?”

“Shit, Old Pei!!!”

Gu Wutong leaped out of the window, face full of excitement, shouting, “Old Pei, I’m coming to help you!”

Pei Jinye paid no heed as he charged fiercely into the flames.

Gu Wutong was stunned.

“Shit, you really shouldn’t mess with a man in a rage, especially Pei Jinye, that’s just too ferocious.”

The sniper didn’t expect Pei Jinye’s ferocity, that he could charge through the blinding explosion as if it were nothing.

He was out for the kill.

“Damn it! Who the hell provided the intel!”

Just as Pei Jinye was about to close in,

A “bang” sounded.

The fleeing sniper’s head suddenly exploded like a smashed watermelon.

Pei Jinye came to an abrupt halt.

He snatched up the sniper’s gun, decisively turned around, with his aura towering, and his killing intent boiling over.

“If I let you escape today, I’ll write Pei backwards!!!”
