Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 429 Mission [Two] (6k)

This person was no one else but the mercenary leader of the villa security hired by Yasuo Matsumoto at a huge expense, code-named "Black Wolf".

Beside Black Wolf, several figures in camouflage uniforms stood quietly, exuding a murderous aura.

"What do you want to do?"

Matsumoto Yasuo asked, his tone remained calm even though the gun was pressed against his forehead.

He had been involved in gangs when he was young, his hands were stained with blood, and he had worked hard all the way to reach his current position.

Although he was somewhat shocked, he was not easily frightened by the scene.

At this moment, although Matsumoto Yasuo was full of doubts and didn't understand why the other party betrayed him, he had no time to investigate it.

He tried to calm the situation and advised, "Put down the gun and talk it over.

If you are not satisfied with the treatment, we can discuss it, there is no need to..."

"boom!"

Before he could finish his words, the muzzle of the gun against his forehead suddenly tilted and the bullet shot out with a scorching flame.

Even with a silencer installed, the explosion still caused him to lose half of his hearing instantly.

Immediately afterwards, there was the dull sound of a bullet entering flesh, followed by the dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Yasuo Matsumoto turned his head and saw the driver and bodyguard Xiao Chen lying on the ground with his pistol dropped to the side and a black bloody hole on his forehead.

Xiao Chen was a step slow because he was parking his car. He noticed something was wrong and was about to draw his gun when he was shot dead on the spot.

Witnessing this scene, Yasuo Matsumoto's legs went weak.

He fell to his knees with a plop.

His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept oozing out of his forehead.

He could even feel the warm liquid slowly flowing down his cheeks.

At this point, he completely understood that it would be difficult to escape unscathed today.

Heilang didn't care at all about what was in Matsumoto Yasuo's mind. He simply reached out and grabbed his neck tightly, lifted him up, and walked towards the depths of the living room behind him.

In the living room.

There were three strange figures standing there, two men and one woman. They were dressed quite strangely, and one of them was holding a sword in his hand.

It was Hu Qi and his group.

Zhou Zhipeng's previous ancient costume was too eye-catching, so he changed into modern clothes at this time.

Yasuo Matsumoto could tell at a glance that these three people were the real masterminds behind the scenes.

Just about to speak.

The next second, his eyes met Hu Qi's, and in an instant, his eyes became confused and empty, as if his soul had been pulled out.

"From now on, I am your master."

Hu Qi's voice sounded calmly.

"Yes, Master."

Yasuo Matsumoto nodded.

"Now, go get us 15 million Sakura Coins!"

"Please wait!"

Yasuo Matsumoto nodded, took out his cell phone and made a call.

See this scene.

Vera on the side glanced at Hu Qi with a complicated expression.

My respect for Hu Qi deepened.

This method of mental hypnosis is even more terrifying than her super powers.

With her level 2 mental hypnosis superpower.

There is a limit to the number of people that can be controlled, and ordinary people with strong willpower may be immune and break free. She almost got into trouble when she was hypnotizing several mercenaries near the house.

These guys crawled out of the pile of dead bodies on the battlefield. Each of them has a strong will and cannot be hypnotized at all.

If Hu Qi hadn't taken action.

I'm afraid this plan will end in failure.

Then think of the scene where Zhou Zhipeng was knocked flying by a single blow.

She just felt that Hu Qi's strength was unfathomable.

Think of this.

She glanced at Zhou Zhipeng on the side.

The other person's eyes also looked somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Soon.

Three suitcases appeared in front of Hu Qi and the other two.

After opening it, there were thick stacks of coins lying inside.

When Hu Qi's palm touched one of the black boxes.

The mechanical prompt sounded from the Samsara Bookstore.

"Side Mission 2: Money, requirement: obtain 5 million Sakura Coins, now completed!"

The same is true for Zhou Zhipeng and Vera.

Also received a reminder that side quest 2 was completed.

However, after doing all this.

The three did not leave immediately.

Instead, he settled down here.

After all, these people are illegal residents and have nowhere to go.

Matsumoto Yasuo's identity and power are of great use to Hu Qi and others, so they naturally will not give it up.

time flies.

After a simple meal.

He ordered Matsumoto Yasuo to send someone to look for Baichuan Yuzhen's whereabouts.

Then the three of them returned to their chosen rooms.

……

inside the room.

The lights are bright.

Hu Qi sat cross-legged.

"scarlet!"

Something moved in his heart.

Try calling out.

next second.

The familiar translucent scarlet panel appeared before his eyes.

[Owner: Hu Qi]

[Status: Abnormal (Unknown force is locking)△]

[Life Level: Spiritual Level (Infinite Avenue) (Sealed)]

[Physique: Body of a Demonic Elephant (Law of Heaven and Earth) (Red Sun Flame Domain)]

……

[Modified value: 138450 (57%)]

Watch this scene.

A strange look flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.

Sure enough, compared to Scarlet, even this mysterious Samsara Bookstore is nothing.

As long as he wants, he can use the modified value to unlock the power lock of the Samsara Book House at any time.

Besides.

Although this body of his is only a clone, he is the true god.

Even if it is just a clone, it will possess the original body's talents and magical powers, and even its strength will far exceed that of an average apostle-level peak.

To be cautious, Hu Qi did not allow this clone to carry too much power into the Samsara Book House.

The situation inside the Samsara Book House is unclear, and being too powerful might draw unnecessary attention.

So, he used the Infinite Avenue to seal most of the power in his body.

Only the body of the magic elephant that was deliberately left behind and the two talents belonging to the magic elephant were retained.

And the strength of this clone is suppressed at the spiritual level, which is equivalent to a spirit-refining master.

Equivalent to Xu Shu.

Boom boom boom!
At this time.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

At the same time, Vera's voice came from outside.

"Boss, it's us!"

"Come in! The door is not locked!"

Hu Qi said casually.

With his perception of the surroundings, nothing in this room, or even the entire villa area, could escape the coverage of his soul.

He had noticed these two people as early as when they came over.

Hear the words.

The door was pushed open from the outside.

Vera and Zhou Zhipeng walked in one after another.

"Boss, look at this!"

Vera didn't say much and directly handed the tablet in her hand to Hu Qi and opened it.

At the same time.

The voice of the female reporter in the picture came out from it.

[At around 7:20 p.m., the Tianshui Bank branch on Fengxian Road in the old town of Taiban City was robbed.

The three robbers successfully robbed a large amount of cash in full view of the public and fled the scene...】

As the female reporter spoke, the scene changed.

Judging from the angle of this picture, it should be a surveillance camera in the bank.

In the picture, three masked figures appeared, holding guns. After entering the bank, they opened fire without hesitation.

After killing several innocent citizens.

He threw the sack in his hand to the staff and asked them to fill it up.

The bank staff were so frightened that they dared not stay for even a moment.

After a set of movements, it flows smoothly.

The total time did not exceed five minutes.

After finishing everything, they evacuated quickly.

[According to statistics, the amount of loss this time is as high as 20 million. The police have already intervened in the investigation and are trying their best to hunt down the robbers...]

The video ends here.

“These three are probably trainee readers like us!”

Vera spoke at this time.

In this regard.

Hu Qi did not comment.

There were three people in each group, and although the amounts were slightly different, they were all over 15 million.

Moreover, during the video, a strange scene appeared.

That is, when these people were shooting and killing people, a guy ran towards the door.

As a result, when he reached the door, he seemed to have bumped into something, and was knocked to the ground with his head tilted back. He was then shot by the three men.

The other party robbed the bank in order to complete the mission in branch line 2 and get the reward.

The only difference is that Hu Qi and his friends are looking for rich people.

These guys chose the simple approach of just robbing a bank.

That would work, but it would easily attract the attention of the officials in this world, and even the evil beasts hiding in the background.

This is why they don't just choose to rob a bank.

But under normal circumstances, most people would choose to find a place to live for thirty days.

There is no need to take risks.

Plus the weird situation in the previous picture.

This is enough to prove that these three people are not simple, at least they are not ordinary people. They may have different abilities like Vera and Zhou Zhipeng.

However, if Hu Qi's speculation is correct, although these so-called "readers" have some special abilities, their strengths should be similar.

Even if it is strong, it won't be that strong.

For example, his two cheap teammates.

Although there are slight differences in abilities, it is hard to say who will win if they really fight.

After all, people like Hu Qi are just exceptions.

Therefore, in his opinion.

These 'readers' are far from being completely immune to the thermal weapons of this world.

Not to mention that there are so-called Yin beasts in this world.

If they really possessed overwhelming strength, why would Samsara Bookstore go to so much trouble to send these trainee readers into this world to carry out missions?

These three people act so ostentatiously that it is easy for them to get into trouble.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Hu Qi.

Another piece of information can also be obtained from this news.

That is, not all the trainee readers who came to this world are in Shenmu City.

For example, the place where the robbery took place is Taiban City, which is nearly a thousand kilometers away from Shenmu City.

According to the time they came to this world.

Unless the other party drove there immediately, it would be impossible for him to rob at this time.

"I guess that since we were put into this world, there must be competition between the teams. Boss, do you think we should kill these guys in advance? Who knows, we might even get hidden mission rewards!"

Vera showed an excited look on her face.

Zhou Zhipeng on the side didn't say anything.

But there was an obvious hint of intention on his face.

"Oh, then you go!" Hu Qi glanced at the two of them.

Zhou Zhipeng is fine, after all, he grew up in a different environment and is used to seeing killings, so his style of doing things is inevitably extreme.

But Vera, although she looks smart on the surface, is actually a restless person at heart, and even has a hint of madness.

Vera's smile froze when she heard him say that.

The reason why they dared to be so unscrupulous was partly due to their personality, and the other half... was simply because they thought Hu Qi was strong enough.

of course.

Only they themselves know whether the two of them want to kill someone with a borrowed knife and deal with Hu Qi at the same time.

……

At midnight, everything was silent.

The pitch-black night was like thick ink; not a single starlight could penetrate the deep darkness.

A road winds its way through the suburbs of Taiban City, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by endless wasteland.

Occasionally, a few vehicles would speed by with their headlights on.

A gray van was driving on the expressway.

The surrounding scenery was rapidly receding.

"This so-called mission is only this difficult!"

inside the car.

One woman and two men.

They are probably in their twenties or thirties.

The light in the car was dim, with only the dashboard emitting a faint blue light.

The short-haired woman in the driver's seat held the steering wheel with one hand and placed the other hand casually on the car window.

The blood-red red spider lily on her neck was particularly dazzling in the night. The patterns on the petals meandered along the line of her neck, as if blood was about to seep out of her skin.

In the rear compartment.

A fat man was counting the banknotes with his greasy fingers.

The other red-haired young man suddenly sneered.

His thin figure slumped in the seat, his scarlet-dyed hair hanging in front of his eyes.

On the floor of the carriage, the mouth of the bulging sack loosened a little, revealing bundles of cherry coins inside.

The edges of the brand new banknotes rustled as they were jostled.

"Those idiots tried to resist, but I shot them to death with just one volley of bullets. It felt so good."

The fat man chuckled.

"Sister Hua, are we going to Shenmu City next?"

The red-haired young man looked at the short-haired woman in front of him and asked.

Hear the words.

The short-haired woman just snorted coldly.

"This world isn't that simple. Those... eh? Not good!!"

She was only halfway through her words.

His complexion changed.

next second.

puff!
Sudden.

The car that was originally moving suddenly shook, accompanied by a sharp sound of metal twisting and tearing.

A hole suddenly appeared in the inner wall of the carriage.

A black tail with a triangular front end like a sharp blade penetrated directly and sank into the fat man's chest.

"Uh...help...help me..."

Blood spurted out of his mouth as if it was free.

He looked at the remaining two people and stretched out his hand with difficulty.

"grass!"

See this.

The two of them changed their expressions slightly.

And, because of the sudden changes.

This caused the car to become unstable while moving, with one side of the car body tilting up and tilting to one side.

The car braked suddenly.

The wheels rubbed violently against the ground, making a sharp and piercing sound, which was particularly terrifying in the silent night.

Immediately afterwards, the car body tilted suddenly and hit the green guardrail on the side of the road.

"Oh!"

A loud bang shook the night sky, and the van instantly broke through the guardrail, rolled down the slope, and finally overturned on the side of the road.

The car's wheels are still spinning mechanically at a rapid speed due to inertia.

A large amount of black smoke mixed with faint flames rose from the shattered interior of the car.

It seemed as if the car would explode in the next second.

Bang!
At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly exploded, and the sound waves echoed in the closed compartment.

Looking closely, the steel door of the black van was twisted and deformed by the heavy impact, and a terrifying bulge appeared on the metal surface.

Bang!
The second heavy blow followed, and the entire car door soared into the sky like a cannonball, flying high and drawing a parabola in the air.

With a "puff" sound, it hit the muddy ridge a few meters away.

“Crack—”

An arm with bulging veins stretched out first, and its five fingers grasped the deformed car frame like a pair of iron pliers.

With the groaning of metal unable to bear the weight, a figure with loose red hair and a body as big as a mountain jumped out of the car nimbly.

Afterwards, another relatively slender figure landed shortly after.

Surprisingly, the burly figure was the skinny red-haired man from before.

However, he has undergone tremendous changes compared to before.

His entire body expanded several times like a blown-up ball.

His eyes glowed a faint red.

Standing there is like an iron tower.

It was surprising to experience such a violent shock.

The two were just a little embarrassed, but did not suffer any serious injuries.

"What the hell is this?"

The two of them looked around.

Locked in somewhere in an instant.

I saw it on the road ahead.

There is a monster.

It was suspended in mid-air, and its body seemed to be condensed from twisted mist.

Its outline appears and disappears.

The most eye-catching thing is the long tail.

The entire body is as black as ink, and the surface is covered with fine scaly patterns. The tail tip is as sharp as a knife, forming a perfect triangle. The sharp edge flashes with cold light, as if it can easily cut through everything.

Every time it sways slightly, its tail leaves a faint black afterimage in the air, like the tail sting of some poisonous creature, dangerous and deadly.

There was no clear face on its head, only two narrow cracks that looked like eyes, emitting a scarlet light.

The huge mouth below is full of shark-like teeth.

Standing there, the light around me seemed to be slightly distorted.

Obviously, this monster was the one that attacked them.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other.

The monster rushed towards the two of them without saying a word.

See this.

The short-haired woman named Sister Hua has a strange and twisted tattoo of a red spider lily on her neck.

It squirmed like a living thing, and the dark red roots spread wildly along her pale skin.

In an instant, a dazzling red light appeared all over his body, like an ominous light seeping out from the abyss of hell.

Then, a layer of flames enveloped her body.

"It's a Yin beast!"

she snapped.

"Let's go together and kill it!"

……

Half a minute later.

"boom--!!!"

A deafening explosion resounded through the night sky, the burning van completely disintegrated in flames, and the hot shock wave swept around with thick smoke.

The flames that shot up into the sky illuminated an area of ​​dozens of meters in radius, making the originally dim ridges of the fields as bright as day.

In the twisting heat.

The monster's body gradually disintegrated and turned into wisps of black gas that dissipated into the air.

In the light of the fire, two blood-soaked figures were still standing.

But at this moment they are no longer as calm as before.

The red-haired man's body returned to its thin shape, his entire left arm was broken at the shoulder, and blood kept dripping down the torn sleeve.

The short-haired woman next to him was covered in scars, but the red spider lily tattoo on her body had returned to normal.

"Ding! Kill a mid-level Yin beast and you will be rewarded with 100 points!"

A cold mechanical sound rang in my mind.

But it made the short-haired woman's face even uglier.

"Did you get any hint about that thing?"

The short-haired woman repeated the information in her mind.

Hear the words.

The red-haired man shook his head.

However, his expression became even gloomier and uglier.

He paid such a huge price, but because he was not the one who did it in the end, he didn't get any reward.

Seems to have seen this.

The short-haired woman said that if she survived, she would give him half of it.

Or wait until he meets the evil beast below and give the reward to him, then the red-haired man's face will look better.

However, the two of them immediately thought of the previous prompt.

According to the plot of the world in their minds, Yin beasts are divided into four levels: primary, intermediate, advanced and king.

——And this monster is only intermediate level.

If you encounter a high-level Yin beast...

As for the legendary king level? That was a situation where death was inevitable.

"go!"

Without any further communication, the two men evacuated quickly despite their injuries.

In the blink of an eye, their figures were completely integrated into the dark night.

...

These three people are just exceptions.

Although there are many trainee readers in this world, most of them have not taken any action yet, but are lurking in secret.

After all, there are still a few days left before the task is completed, so there is no need to rush.

……

The night is as dark as ink, growing darker and darker.

In the blink of an eye, it was two o'clock in the morning and everything was silent.

Shenmu City, Qinglu Villa.

In the backyard of a three-story European-style manor, an area of ​​black soil that had obviously been renovated shook slightly, breaking the silence.

Then, wisps of black gas dissipated from the soil, winding and circling in the air like a ghost, gradually converging, and finally turning into a pitch-black shadow.

The shadow resembles an octopus the size of a buffalo, but is completely different from an ordinary octopus.

The suction cups on its limbs were covered with ring-shaped serrations, flashing a cold light in the darkness.

After it slowly emerged, its cold gaze instantly penetrated the glass and locked onto a security guard who was on night watch in the house.

A hint of resentment flashed across his face.

However, just as it was about to take action.

A deep male voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Is this the Yin Beast? It feels a bit like a vengeful spirit..."

The Yin Beast turned its head suddenly and saw Hu Qi standing there without knowing when.

At this moment, he was looking at the octopus monster with great interest, as if he was examining a new toy.

There was a dead body lying under the dirt.

It was none other than Xiao Chen who was shot in the head during the day.

This Yin beast was apparently born from its corpse.

Moreover, as soon as he appeared, he wanted to kill the black wolf in the house who had killed Xiao Chen during the day.

This behavior is almost the same as that of a vengeful spirit.

The octopus beast seemed to be angered by this gaze, and it waved its tentacles and swept towards Hu Qi.

However, Hu Qi just raised his hand and grabbed, and an invisible powerful force instantly enveloped the Yin beast.

Under the suppression of this force, the huge body of the Yin beast quickly shrank in the blink of an eye.

It turned into the size of a ping-pong ball and fell into Hu Qi's palm, without any movement.

After doing all this, Hu Qi disappeared from the spot.

Inside the house, the security guard who was only separated by a wall was unaware of this.
