Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell onto the floor. Larry, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, convulsed.

Under the moonlight, his shadow seemed to have a mind of its own, and began to wander on the ground.

The shadow, like a two-dimensional creature, ignored the constraints of the terrain and penetrated directly into the room where Zhou Fengliu was.

goo—

The shadow lurked behind the mirror, secretly spying. In the darkness, it spotted Zhou Fengliu lying on the bed.

King Nathan... Don't blame me, I had no other choice but to do this.

Larry pulled out a piece of paper, and with his skillful hands, a paper knife appeared in his hand.

The instant the paper knife appeared in his hand, the shadow of a paper knife also appeared out of thin air in the hand of the other shadow.

With weapons, there would be an opportunity to assassinate King Nathan without anyone noticing.

Speaking of this method of manipulating shadows, it is a forbidden technique of the Larry family, which allows the user to attach a part of their soul to the shadow for manipulation.

They will not make any sound, smell, or even show any emotion during their actions, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Achieving a perfect assassination is a piece of cake.

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu was sleeping soundly on the big bed, Larry knew that the time had truly come.

I'm sorry, King Nathan, I had no choice... I had to kill you.

Larry hardened his heart and manipulated his shadow to come to Zhou Fengliu's bed.

Bathed in the soft moonlight, the shadow raised its knife and plunged it fiercely into Zhou Fengliu's head.

However...

At that critical moment, Zhou Fengliu, who was fast asleep, seemed to have foreseen something, turned over and turned his head to avoid the attack.

"?"

Have we been discovered?

Larry was startled when he saw this, but quickly dismissed the idea.

It was probably just a coincidence... a coincidence that things turned around.

Again...

Larry continued to manipulate the shadow, adjusting its position to stab at Zhou Fengliu's neck, but this time... he still missed. Zhou Fengliu dodged just before the stab hit.

"?"

Larry was even more confused when he saw this.

This was something he had never seen before... He even wondered if King Nathan had actually fallen asleep...

Even a sane person who doesn't understand the principles of his shadow technique would probably not be able to dodge his shadow attacks again and again.

Larry's shadow magic might indeed be very powerful, and he certainly has the ability to kill without leaving a trace... but when he encounters Zhou Fengliu's "I was careless and didn't dodge," he's truly left speechless and unable to express his bitterness.

According to the skill description of "I was careless and didn't dodge," any sneak attack outside of your field of vision will be dodged without your awareness...

Zhou Fengliu, who was asleep, had his eyes tightly closed and could not see anything...

This put Zhou Fengliu in an "invincible" state, making it impossible for him to be hit by a sneak attack from any direction.

Assassination?

He loses the moment he opens his eyes...

Do you even know what a concept technique is?

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 358 Goodbye [100% Caught Barehanded by a Blade] ~ (First Update)

This was due to a bug, which made the sleeping Zhou Fengliu in an invincible state.

In this round, no one can launch a surprise attack on Zhou Fengliu...

Unfortunately, Larry was unaware that he had unknowingly fallen into Zhou Fengliu's trap.

At this moment, Larry felt that something was wrong, very wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

He manipulated his shadow and hid behind the mirror for a while to observe. Seeing that there seemed to be no ambush around, he tried another assassination attempt, but Zhou Fengliu unconsciously dodged it.

This made him very angry.

He then took out another piece of paper and folded it into the shape of a paper knife.

The moment the paper knife appeared, a paper knife also appeared in the shadowy hand in Zhou Fengliu's room.

Dual-wielding...

He refused to believe that Zhou Fengliu could dodge it.

Swish-

As the two paper knives slashed wildly several times, Zhou Fengliu seemed to be dancing on the bed, dodging each of the attacks.

Larry: "..."

Seeing this, Larry, who was exhausted, truly broke down.

...

at the same time.

Nathan, who was standing outside the door, seemed to hear some noise from inside the room.

What was that sound?

Elijah, with ears like an amplifier, heard a faint sound in the room. He frowned and then spoke:

"Is this kid doing some kind of handicrafts in his room?"

"?"

Upon hearing this, one of the Nathan guards raised an eyebrow: "Doing handicrafts late at night?"

"It's convenient precisely because it's late at night and quiet..."

bump--

As soon as Elijah finished speaking, they heard the sound of things being smashed coming from inside the house, which made them raise their eyebrows and realize that something might have happened.

One of the Nathan guards was quick-witted and kicked the door open, rushing inside, with Elijah following closely behind.

When the lights came on, they were speechless at the sight before them.

What you can see.

A three-headed, six-armed "shadow" wielding several knives launched a surprise attack on Zhou Fengliu, who was lying on the bed.

They hadn't expected someone could assassinate them in this way, bypassing their line of sight...

But what shocked them even more was that Zhou Fengliu was able to dodge all of the shadow's attacks with his eyes closed.

His dodging posture was like that of a dancer who had been practicing for two and a half years, dodging with ease and full of sarcasm.

This might also be why that shadow was so easily defeated; it was too ironic.

"This is...unbelievable."

Nathan had never seen such an amazing person before, who could dodge attacks with his eyes closed.

“I told you so, this guy isn’t an ordinary person…” Elijah replied.

...

Such a commotion eventually woke up the sleeping Zhou Fengliu.

When Zhou Fengliu was startled by the sound of the door being kicked open, he was also taken aback when he saw the people in front of him.

"You guys... raided me at night?" Zhou Fengliu asked.

"No...you really don't know?" Everyone frowned when they saw Zhou Fengliu pretending to be stupid.

“You’ve been assassinated…” Elijah pointed to a shadowy figure holding a pile of knives not far away.

"..."

Following the direction Elijah pointed, Zhou Fengliu noticed a dark figure on the wall that resembled a door god.

When Zhou Fengliu realized that someone was actually trying to assassinate him, he acted like an old lady trying to hide under the covers, which amused the old man.

"Well... of course I know." Zhou Fengliu coughed lightly, then retorted stubbornly.

In fact, he wasn't very familiar with this part of the plot; he only knew the general outline.

Although he wasn't very familiar with the plot, he could tell from the fact that King Nathan asked him to be his stand-in that this meeting might be dangerous.

As for why he was so carefree and slept so soundly despite the danger, it was purely due to his confidence in his ability to 100% dodge a sneak attack.

Ever since he received the message "I was careless and didn't dodge," he's been sleeping soundly... without any fear whatsoever.

This was also the source of his confidence when he was in the Tang Sect, allowing those Tang Sect students to assassinate him with impunity...

So many students from the Tang Clan who specialize in assassination haven't been able to touch him, so this tiny shadow is even less likely to be able to.

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu say "I knew it all along," Larry, caught up in the moment, realized he had fallen into a trap.

He had tried so many times but failed to kill King Nathan, so he should have left first. However, King Nathan's dodging posture was so mocking that it caused him to break through his defenses.

This is a setup.

...

"So you closed your eyes and dodged just now, was it all on purpose?" Nathan asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow and then replied:

"What are you saying? How could I have done that on purpose? It was an accident."

Taking advantage of the less than two and a half seconds that Zhou Fengliu was talking to Elijah and the others, Larry seemed to have seized the opportunity and, under the close watch of the others, swam towards the door.

Since this shadow has no physical form, ordinary physical attacks are completely ineffective against it, which allows it to escape with extraordinary speed.
