Chapter 28 Kill
[Killed an enemy, kill points +189]
Lu Hao was completely bewildered, staring at the situation before him.
Dude, you made it sound so impressive, I thought you had some kind of backup plan, but it turns out it's just this.
I thought I was a king, but it turns out I'm just a bronze.
Lu Hao thought to himself, looking around at the scene. Blood was splattered everywhere. It seemed the logistics personnel who came to clean up the mess would be cursing.
Lu Hao walked back to where he had come from.
After passing through two rooms, Lu Hao saw a pile of household garbage. This was where Lu Bo lived. After some investigation, Lu Hao found a black box containing two heavy pieces of gold and several bottles of pills.
Lu Hao opened it and checked; it contained only ordinary Qi and Blood Pills, Organ Protection Pills, and Healing Pills, nothing else.
After taking photos of the scene with these items, Lu Hao walked outside. Those two pieces of gold should be the motive that led Lu Bo to commit murder.
As for the gold, it should be returned to the Detective Bureau, which will then contact the victim's family to distribute it. My biggest gain should be the killing points, which will allow me to refine four more bones.
They got into Viper's car.
"Resolved?"
"Okay, it's resolved. Let's go back to the Detective Bureau. It's a little different from what I expected," Lu Hao said.
"Why is it different?"
"I originally thought these fugitives were at the same level as those in the dueling arena, or at the very least, they would have a lot of combat awareness. But I didn't even have to use my full strength before they were dead."
"It feels like you were expecting a major boss, but in reality, it's just a mob that you can easily defeat."
Lu Hao told Viper about what had just happened.
"Haha, that's normal. You don't believe that ordinary criminals were once ordinary people or ordinary martial artists who became criminals because of greed or some other change in their lives."
"How much real combat experience could they possibly have? They've just entered the martial arts world and don't even understand what's going on inside before committing crimes. Anyone with more knowledge wouldn't openly kill and rob people like this."
"So the purpose of these missions is to hone the skills of martial arts students like you. Otherwise, sending out a mid-level expert would have been enough to crush them all. As for the Detective Bureau's real enemy, it's the cult."
"Those are the people the Investigation Bureau is targeting. Cults have quite a few low- to mid-level members, and even a few high-level ones. These people are much more dangerous."
Lu Hao nodded. He hadn't expected that the mission he had initially thought would be fraught with danger would actually be no problem for him now.
Back at the detective agency, Lu Hao submitted his mission report and handed over the gold he had collected to the staff.
Upon arriving at the lobby, Lu Hao's phone showed a deposit of 20 yuan. It seemed the Detective Bureau was indeed efficient; they transferred the reward before even confirming the specifics. Weren't they worried about someone falsely reporting the situation?
Moving on to the task selection instrument, Lu Hao chose a high-level first-grade task this time, which was more detailed.
Name: Bai Yifan
Sex: Male
Age: 38 years old
Strength: High-level First Rank, has cultivated basic combat techniques, may carry short weapons, and is suspected of potentially breaking through to the peak of First Rank.
Case: An employee of a physical store of a pill company killed his boss in a fit of rage after arguing with him, and fled with a large quantity of pills.
Breaking news: Bai Yifan has been discovered to be hiding in Shihe Village, a suburb of Shanghai.
Reward: 40 RMB in cash
High-level first rank, possibly breaking through to the peak of first rank, hmm, that's a good goal. Hopefully he can really break through, after all, the more kill points the better.
Lu Hao accepted the mission and headed towards Shihe Village.
When he arrived at the location, Lu Hao found that the situation here was not much better than the unfinished building he had visited before. Although he could see a few people here and there, there were very few of them.
Isn't this kind of place a paradise for criminals?
"Uncle Wang, why doesn't the government deal with all these unfinished buildings and abandoned buildings in the suburbs? That way, the criminals will have nowhere to hide."
"Xiao Lu, you can't just look at the surface when you do things. Think about it, if the government demolishes this place, those criminal martial artists will have no choice but to hide in the city. When they try to arrest them, how much harm will that cause to the ordinary people around them?"
"Oh, right, I've gotten so used to power that I've forgotten how dangerous a martial artist can be to ordinary people."
The car stopped outside; entering the village would be too conspicuous. Lu Hao got out and slowly crept in, first finding Bai Yifan's exact location before making any further plans.
It took Lu Hao a full hour and a half to find Bai Yifan's exact location. All I can say is that Bai Yifan is a real scoundrel; he was hiding in the cellar of an empty room.
If Lu Hao hadn't discovered signs of human activity in the surrounding area during his investigation and hadn't kept watch for a while, seeing Bai Yifan come out to get something, he probably would have really hidden it away.
Now that we've found Bai Yifan, the next step is to take action.
The good news is that there are no outsiders near Bai Yifan's location; the bad news is that Bai Yifan is hiding in the cellar and won't come out.
Lu Hao had no idea what was going on in the cellar. What if there were traps? Lu Hao was only a first-rank martial artist, not invincible. He could get hurt, and he might just end up getting caught off guard.
There was no other way. For safety's sake, Lu Hao sent a message to Viper, saying that he was going to stake out the area for a while. He didn't believe that Bai Yifan would never come out. Since he had come out earlier, it meant that he would come out again, it was just a matter of time.
And so, Lu Hao began to wait in a secluded spot in the room.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
There was no sound from inside. Lu Hao almost couldn't resist rushing in, but reason prevailed over his anxiety. He knew he had to be patient and calm.
Half an hour later, Lu Hao stared at the cellar door in front of him. Finally, there was a change. Bai Yifan tried to probe it and finally came out.
Upon seeing this, Lu Hao immediately sprang into action, slashing at Bai Yifan with his blade.
"bump"
The sound of weapons clashing rang out, and Lu Hao saw that Bai Yifan had a stick in his hand, which blocked Lu Hao's attack.
Lu Hao used the void to his advantage and continued his attack. He slashed down with his second strike, this time with a burst of energy, more than 50 calories of energy erupting from the blade.
Bai Yifan continued to defend with the stick, but he did not expect the attack to be so powerful that he could not withstand it at all. The broadsword and the metal stick slashed towards Bai Yifan's chest together.
Bump,
The sound of blood and qi colliding and exploding rang out.
Lu Hao saw that his sword, along with the metal rod, had cleaved into a suit of inner armor. The inner armor had been torn open by the blood and qi, revealing the tearing of flesh.
Bai Yifan coughed up a mouthful of blood, then took out a pill with his right hand, preparing to swallow it.
