Blood plasma, limb remains, brain matter, intestines, and fragments of various organs plastered the walls, turning the staircase into a blood-red hell on earth.
Thick blood plasma flowed continuously down the stairs, creating a bloody tapestry that stretched endlessly downwards.
The blood dripping from the edge of the stairs into his eyes only intensified Shi Chun's fear as he ran for his life.
"Baka yarou, how can you not shake him off?"
Shi Chun leaned against the wall, panting heavily, and then, upon hearing Lu Xuan's footsteps, immediately ran downhill.
Logically speaking, let alone an extraordinary person, even an ordinary young person should be able to descend the stairs quickly, taking three steps at a time.
In particular, there was Bihe Ren who kept covering his retreat and buying time for himself.
But why can't I get rid of it?
In a panic, Shi Chun quickly made a phone call.
The contact name on the other end of the phone was "Yaoxing Society".
"Dudududu!"
No one answered the phone.
Damn Yaoxing Society, so what if they have foreign capital behind them?
Have you forgotten that I also donated money?
But in a life-or-death situation, there was no time to think about such things; Shi Chun could only dial the next number.
The call was answered quickly, and the voice was deliberately lowered.
"Hello? Why are you contacting me at this time?"
The voice on the other end sounded somewhat annoyed.
"Didn't I say that I've already facilitated your assassination plan? Don't forget, we're just cooperating..."
Normally, Shi Chun would definitely engage in some insincere pleasantries with that highest-ranking cadre within the Nadutong Company who had been bribed.
But now he's about to die!
Who's going to act like a pushover for you?
Shi Chun gasped for breath and cursed loudly.
"What the hell are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? Did you just play with the female ninja you gave me for nothing? Did you take my money for nothing?"
"Come and save me."
"What did you say?"
The person on the other end of the phone suddenly froze.
A moment later, her voice became somewhat ingratiating.
"We've discussed it!"
"Stop discussing it. Lu Xuan is not only alive, but he's also hunting me down."
"You'd better think of something quickly. You know, our assassination plan was because you opened the security checkpoint. Sooner or later, they'll find out about you."
"How could you have caused such a huge mess?"
On the headquarters building of NaDuTong Northeast Regional Branch.
A figure was making a phone call in the office, looking out the window with a voice full of anger.
"Gao Lian isn't dead yet! I'm still just a deputy, and you want me to stop Lu Xuan? Are you sending me to my death?"
"I said we're just cooperating."
Shi Chun on the other end of the phone didn't indulge him at all.
"Gao Chao, stop pretending. You think you can make the security checks at Nadutong Company a mere formality? You dare say you weren't instructed by those bastards behind the scenes?"
"You're letting us do the work while you wait to reap the benefits?"
"There's no such thing as an easy life. I'm about to die. If you don't do something, I'll take you and those beasts down with me."
Gao Chao's expression shifted between light and shadow, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
The Gao family is one of the four great families in the world of supernatural beings. Its branches and lineages are very large and extensive, just like the vast area outside the Great Wall. With so many people, there are bound to be some scoundrels.
Gao Lian is the head of the Gao family, but that doesn't mean he can completely control everyone in the Gao family, especially since the Gao family is a lineage of shamans, and many of them are truly loyal to shamans.
The shamans initially wanted to discourage Lu Xuan, but a blizzard blew from Changbai Mountain to the Xilingol Grassland, only to stop abruptly in front of Lu Xuan upon reaching the grassland.
Lu Xuan even took a train directly from Inner Mongolia to the area outside the Great Wall.
Now that they've fallen out, they can't blame them for giving Lu Xuan a hard time.
Naturally, some shady intentions merged with another group of shady characters.
Shi Chun is too shrewd, while Shan Die is a fool who is still dreaming big.
Thus began a plan that Shan Die thought was perfect, but in reality, it was an operation to make her a pawn in someone else's scheme.
Gao Chao deliberately pretended to be blackmailed by Shan Die, thus opening a loophole in the security checkpoint. Then, an unknown civilian intelligence group spanning both domestic and international borders provided explosives for this operation.
Finally, it was Lao Zhang, a high-level undercover agent who had been lurking within the Na Du Tong company for many years, who pressed the detonation button.
Naturally, all of this could not be kept from Shi Chun now.
He directly tore away the last bit of pretense, clearly telling Gao Chao, "If you don't find a way to save me, we'll die together."
These Japanese have absolutely no sense of morality.
Gao Chao's face was gloomy, and he could only speak.
"Then I'll think of something for you..."
Gao Chao paused suddenly, looking out the window with some confusion.
"Hey? Why is it so bright outside?"
Gao Chao stared blankly at the bright light that pierced the sky outside the window, which was getting faster and faster and bigger...?
Why is it flying towards me?
Endless light and heat surged forth, and a tremendous force instantly shattered the glass curtain wall in front of Gao Chao, as well as Gao Chao's body.
Gao Chao felt as if he had been struck by a stroke of incredible luck, and his entire body was thrown back by that force.
Within the endless light and heat, there seemed to be a power even greater than light and heat, capable of slicing through anything and turning everything in the office to dust.
Then he nailed the only remaining "thing" in the office to the wall.
The piercing alarm and noise filled my ears.
He could no longer perceive the existence of his body, and Gao Chao only realized what was happening before his consciousness completely left that "shell" and dissipated.
It just flew in...
It looked like a sword light?
Chapter 205: There's a saying, "To lift a stone only to drop it on one's own foot."
"Hello? Hello?"
The lights flickered on and off, and blood was still dripping at his feet. Shi Chun stopped in a daze and stared at his phone, which was suddenly busy.
A bright light? What bright light?
Is Gao Chao playing a trick on me?
When I tried to call back, the call wouldn't go through.
Shi Chun had a vague sense of unease.
At that moment, a slightly magnetic voice seemed to be right next to your ear, yet it eerily echoed throughout the dimly lit stairwell.
"Run away? Why aren't you running away anymore?"
In the dimly lit stairwell, blood and fragments of human tissue were constantly seeping from his head, and a piercing sound was ringing in his ears.
Shi Chun turned his head stiffly, only to see Lu Xuan's elongated shadow on the wall slowly getting shorter.
Lu Xuan... caught up?
Shi Chun could only continue running frantically, and in his panic, he dialed another number.
"Hello? Why are you contacting me all of a sudden?"
"Come and save me!"
"Why is it suddenly so bright?!"
Shi Chun: "..."
Shi Chun then made many phone calls.
There are many people I'm in contact with: the informants I've planted in the company, people I've bribed, officials I'm in contact with, and high-ranking officials within the Biheren organization.
But each time, it would end not long after with a comment like, "Wow, it's so bright!" "Why is it so bright?" "What is that?"
The dial tone on the other end of the phone was like a death warrant from the King of Hell.
Suddenly, Shi Chun understood.
Lu Xuan was allowing himself to contact others, and all those people he contacted were already dead.
so what?
Using their lives could at least buy more time, and Shi Chun didn't have time to think about whether he could escape.
We should use their lives to delay as long as possible; living is the most important thing.
I still have a chance! I still have a chance!
Lu Xuan continued his descent without stopping.
Every time Shi Chun contacts someone, Lu Xuan kills him remotely. It's clear that Shi Chun doesn't have that many scapegoats in his phone, and Bi He Ren isn't that resistant to being killed.
Not long after, Shi Chun's Bihe Ren, which he had run for decades, was wiped out by Lu Xuan.
Unfortunately, there were too few Bihe Ninjas. The red carpet beneath Lu Xuan's feet, paved with fragments of blood, brains, limbs, and internal organs generously donated by the Bihe Ninjas, could not be laid directly from the top floor to the ground.
