"Hmm?"
As the door to the storage room was kicked open, Bihu realized that Li Mucheng was nowhere to be seen. Aside from a pile of miscellaneous items, there was nothing else inside.
"Hiss... Impossible? The girl's scent..."
Curious, Bihu stepped into the storage room and only noticed the issue when he spotted an irregular gap in one of the wooden boards.
"Ah... What a cunning little girl... But this thrill of the chase, Uncle here loves it~"
With that, Bihu slowly opened the hidden door in the storage room and chased after Li Mucheng.
......
"Well, well, as expected of a renowned tycoon in Shu City. Even the small items in the house are of considerable value."
While cleaning up the battlefield, a few greedy mercenaries began wandering around the manor. After all, their mission was to scout for any remaining dangers, and they couldn’t return until they found their target.
One of the mercenaries picked up a watch from the ground. Judging by its brand, it was worth a hefty sum. Without hesitation, he pocketed it.
A teammate nearby wasn’t pleased and jabbed him with the butt of his rifle. "Hey! Lao San, that’s not fair. We’re all on a mission here, and you’re just picking up loot?"
Lao San rolled his eyes at the speaker, pushing the rifle butt aside with one hand as he stood up. "What’s the big deal? Jealous that I found some cash? If you’re unhappy, go find some yourself. These things aren’t going to be confiscated anyway. We’re all risking our lives here, aren’t we? It’s all about making some extra money. Besides, most of the bodyguards have already been taken out by Bihu and the old man. It’s safe now."
"Hiss... You’ve got a point. In that case, I won’t hold back either..."
Before the man could finish his sentence, a gunshot rang out from nowhere. In the blink of an eye, a bullet struck his head, and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
"Ah... Ah! Enemy attack!"
Lao San stared in shock at his teammate, who had been speaking to him just a second ago and was now lying dead in front of him. However, as a seasoned mercenary, he quickly regained his composure. Like the others, he took cover and returned fire in the direction of the gunshot.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As the bullets rained down, the dusty walls were instantly riddled with holes.
"Cease fire! Cease fire!"
One of the mercenaries shouted, and the surroundings fell silent. Everyone’s eyes were fixed in the direction they had been shooting, but there was no sign of resistance. They exchanged uneasy glances, none willing to be the next casualty.
"Tch, a bunch of cowards."
The man who had called for the ceasefire spat out the cigarette he had been chewing on and strode forward with his rifle. In his mind, no one could withstand such a barrage of bullets, especially since the wall was practically torn apart.
Under the watchful eyes of his comrades, the man reached the wall without any trouble. The others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the danger had passed, and a few even stepped out from their cover.
"Huh? Where’s the..."
"Bang!"
Before the man could finish his sentence, another gunshot rang out from a different direction, and he too fell into a pool of blood.
The few who had just stepped out of cover quickly retreated, terrified of being the next victim.
"Quick... call for reinforc—"
"Bang!"
The man who had poked his head out to speak met the same fate as the others, cut down mid-sentence.
The remaining mercenaries buried their heads even lower. It was clear they had bitten off more than they could chew. They had faced strong opponents before, but those battles had been evenly matched. This, however, was a one-sided slaughter. They hadn’t even seen their enemy, yet their comrades were falling one after another. How were they supposed to fight back?
"Bang!"
"Ugh..."
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
......
Amid the screams echoing in Lao San’s ears, he completely lost his fighting spirit. To him, this place had become a living hell.
"Ugh... Reinforcements... reinforcements..."
The once cheerful Lao San, who had been grinning after pocketing the watch, was no longer smiling. He frantically fumbled for the radio communicator on his chest. Just as he pressed the talk button, a cold gun barrel pressed against his forehead.
"Zzz... Zzz..."
The radio emitted static, followed by the voice of someone from the team. "Wang Lao San, what are you doing? You’re holding the radio but not saying anything. Report your status!"
Wang Lao San looked up at the young but deadly handsome man standing before him. His cold, emotionless face and deep, abyss-like eyes exuded an overwhelming pressure. Just meeting his gaze was enough to crush one’s spirit. Trembling, Wang Lao San raised his hands in surrender.
"Hey! Wang Lao San, respond!"
"Bang!"
......
"Zzz... Zzz..."
"Hey? Wang Lao San? Hey!"
"What’s going on?"
The mercenary leader walked over with a stern expression, sensing something was wrong from the radio operator’s reaction.
"Boss, something’s happened to Wang Lao San’s team. The entire squad has gone silent, and the last sound we heard was gunfire."
"I heard it too. It came from inside the manor. Seems we’ve got an uninvited guest. Tell Bihu to bring the target back. The old man will take the second team and go greet our guest."
"Understood."
The old man, who had been toying with a grenade, stood up expressionlessly. He exchanged a glance with the team members and then strode toward the manor......
"Huff... Huff..."
Ye Feng stared at the bodies on the ground, his breathing steady and his expression blank. Strangely, the first time he saw someone fall by his hand, he felt no fear or tension. Instead, he became even calmer and more composed. Although these men were villains who deserved their fate, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the system was changing him, erasing his humanity bit by bit, turning him into a machine that only carried out missions.
"No, I need to find Li Mucheng first."
After a brief rest, Ye Feng picked up a pistol from Wang Lao San’s hand. Just then, a flashbang rolled to his feet.
"Damn it!"
"Wham!"
A blinding white light filled the air. Ye Feng quickly rolled behind cover, but the ringing in his ears persisted. Fortunately, his robust physique allowed him to endure the discomfort.
Seriously... This is never-ending...

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts...

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power.

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
