Chapter 594 - 578: Has the Menu Been Upgraded?!!
The wild grass by the roadside.
The dismembered bodies of three security guards were strewn about the wild grass like discarded trash.
The security team of the Bright Group certainly had its strength, but their biggest advantage lay in the brand they carried.
Without the brand, their actual strength was still lacking compared to the White Masks.
At the edge of the grass, three White Masks sat casually with minor injuries, like they had just finished a picnic and were chatting idly with full stomachs.
They waited for a long time, but the man with downturned eyes hadn’t returned.
One of them, chewing on a grass stalk, impatiently asked:
"Why hasn’t that guy come back yet? How far did he chase? Has he gone crazy?"
Another snickered:
"He’s probably caught the target and is toying with them slowly. You know what he’s into."
The babyface silently trimmed his nails.
Five minutes later, after polishing all ten fingers to perfection, he turned his gaze towards the depths of the grass with a slight frown.
The babyface suddenly stood up and walked towards the depths of the wild grass without a word.
The two team members exchanged a look and hurriedly followed.
The three followed the direction where the man with downturned eyes had gone and finally stopped in a clearing of decayed leaves.
The ground was littered with corroded blackened leaves, and a faint stench lingered in the air, yet not a soul was in sight.
There was no sign of the man with downturned eyes, nor any sign of Wang Cong.
"Where did they go?"
One whispered, glancing around with a slightly somber expression.
The babyface didn’t answer, his gaze cut across the ground like a knife, then suddenly he stomped hard.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled, and mud surged as a corpse wrapped in mud was shaken out.
The mud shell was uneven, reflecting a twisted human face with the iconic downturned eye sockets glaring in anger and despair.
The two team members’ faces changed drastically.
The babyface delivered a palm strike, shattering the mud shell, revealing the soft, muddy corpse inside.
A White Mask quickly crouched down to inspect, fingers sinking into the rotten flesh, murmuring in doubt:
"The bones are gone, did his own Bone-eating Fly eat him clean?"
The other White Mask frowned, also crouching down and feeling through the rotten flesh, pulling out two eyeballs:
"Impossible, the thing would drill in through the eye sockets, yet his eyes are perfectly intact. Moreover, the Bone-eating Fly can’t consume an entire person."
The two exchanged a glance, speaking in unison: "Wang Cong?!!"
Their voices carried seven parts certainty and three parts doubt.
What was supposed to be mediocre strength?
No way, just a prison’s Death Row chief capable of killing an elite from the Hidden Sect’s mobile team, with such ability why would you need bodyguards?
The babyface stared at the muddy ground, suddenly grinning:
"Looks like the intel from the boss was wrong this time."
He habitually clicked his nail clippers, making a crisp "click" sound:
"This extra course is quite filling, hehe—"
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and instructed the team member next to him:
"Notify Lin Yi to be careful too, the menu might have upgraded."
The team member just pulled out the phone, before dialing, it rang, and the caller ID was Lin Yi.
"Looks like nothing went wrong over there, Lin Yi must have completed the task and is reporting in."
Thought the team member, picking up the call he said:
"If you’re done, hurry back. There’s a bit of a situation..."
His words were cut off by the urgent breathing on the other end:
"I can’t handle it, come save me, it’s, it’s, it’s...."
The breathing stopped abruptly!
It’s what, say it clearly!!!
......
Lin Yi crouched in the shadows outside the outer wall of the Second Prison, in a similar wild grass patch, he looked up at the towering prison walls, his face full of burn and smoke scars, brimming with disdain.
For someone of his skill, the high prison walls were nothing more than children’s toys.
The walls of certain ruins in the Hidden Sect were higher, steeper, and overgrown with mutated flesh vines, with bizarre creatures roaming inside.
He could climb and traverse those, let alone this?
In the prison, there weren’t any monsters, only a bunch of lazy prison guards and shackled prisoners.
Lin Yi was quite confident he could climb over, cause a ruckus, kill the target, and leave gracefully.
"Forget it, the captain won’t let me make big news..."
Lin Yi clicked his tongue, eventually suppressing that tempting notion, unlike the man with downturned eyes, he had a touch more caution.
He didn’t wait long in the grass, the iron door of the prison slowly swung open, and a black sedan drove out.
Lin Yi immediately put on his combat goggles, which glowed a faint blue, the auto-focus system bringing the scene inside the car into view.
Inside were two people, one was the driver with a slightly sinister aura, the other sat in the back with framed glasses, looking refined.
"Found them."
Lin Yi licked his lips, his gaze fixed on the back seat.
"This doesn’t match the intel, there aren’t too many prison guards following, sigh..."
Lin Yi felt a bit disappointed.
It was supposed to be a big pot of boiled meat, relying on quantity to fill the stomach, but it wasn’t even enough to fill a gap between the teeth.
"Well, the sooner I’m done, the sooner I can go back."
Lin Yi sighed in the grass, he didn’t attack immediately but waited for the car to go a distance before getting on all fours with a slightly arched back.
"Whoosh—"
His figure burst forth, Lin Yi galloped like a chasing hyena, moving at astonishing speed, catching up in a blink.
Sprinting beside the car, Lin Yi suddenly stood upright, maintaining speed alongside the vehicle, he then slowly twisted his neck, his hideous face facing the car window.
Lin Yi was trying to create a terrifying atmosphere.
No choice, plain boiled meat doesn’t taste much, he had to find ways to season it himself.
However...
The man in the driver’s seat, far from panicking, his eyes suddenly brightened, revealing a look Lin Yi was all too familiar with.
That look, just like what he himself had when he saw his "extra course".
And Feng Mu in the back seat reacted calmly, too calmly for Lin Yi’s liking.
Lin Yi’s face darkened, he jumped up, landing heavily on the car’s hood.
The terrifying force brought the speeding sedan to a screeching halt, tires screeching against the ground, filling the air with the stench of burning rubber.
The car’s rear end lifted like a seesaw, then crashed back down.
Lin Yi pressed his face against the shattered window, looking fierce.
The strange thing was, Gong Qi’s eyes didn’t lose their luster, if anything, they burned even brighter with joy.
Lin Yi was momentarily stunned, raising a fist, knuckles cracking like popping beans, he swung towards the cracked windshield.
Gong Qi flashed a sinister grin, just about to act, when a gentle voice came from behind:
"Senior brother, focus on driving, I’ll handle this!"
