Fang Cheng is naked from the waist up, wearing only a pair of Gray loose Track Pants.

Her bronzed skin shone with a healthy luster under the mottled light and shadow of the forest.

He grabbed a horizontal branch as thick as a bowl with one hand, and his inverted body was like a javelin, thrusting straight into the sky.

As the right arm bends and straightens, the body lowers calmly, and then raises up with amazing control.

The muscles in the arms and back are contracting and relaxing to the extreme, like Granite being injected with life, tense and tense.

Every line is full of concise strength, smooth and healthy, as if carefully carved by the most skilled craftsmen.

With such a strong body, even if he performs such a difficult Training method.

Fang Cheng's breathing was still steady and long, and there was no trace of sweat on his forehead.

After completing One-Arm Handstand Push-Ups 100 times in one breath, he did not turn over immediately.

Instead, it still maintains the posture of One-Handed Inversion and calmly adjusts Internal Breath.

Looking through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves, the scene below the mountain comes into view in an upside-down way.

The buildings in the town are dotted around like blocks scattered on a green chessboard.

Home of Morning Light Orphanage, that familiar small white building is also clearly visible at the end of the field of vision.

Deep in Fang Cheng's pupils, an imperceptible Red Light flashed quietly.

"Eagle Eye" The vision is quietly activated, and the scenery in front of you is instantly zoomed in and enlarged.

It is as if through a high-performance Telescope, every movement of the characters in the distant environment is captured, and every detail is displayed.

Fang Cheng clearly saw a group of children chasing and playing on the lawn in the High Wall compound of Orphanage.

The laughter seemed to penetrate the distance and could be faintly heard.

Cheng Jiashu also joined them, with a gentle smile on his face, playing Toss-and-Catch's game with Little Girl who had braids.

Everything looks so calm and peaceful.

Fang Cheng's mind moved slightly.

At noon today, he had quietly arrived at the top of the mountain with an excellent view.

I witnessed Cheng Jiashu after Disguise, drove to Home of Morning Light, took out large and small packages of gifts from the trunk, and distributed them to the cheering children.

We were also keenly aware of unusual movements at several hidden, suspected surveillance posts around Orphanage.

Cheng Jiashu behaved very naturally and patiently played with the children.

His smile is sincere and warm, and his every move does not look like a big star that attracts much attention.

He is completely different from the cold and bloodthirsty "Smiling Devil" in the rumors.

He didn't seem to know at all that just outside Orphanage, Heavenly Net had been quietly planted.

Countless pairs of eyes are watching eagerly, ready to hunt him, Killing Demon.

At this moment, Cheng Jiashu and the children were surrounded by many other caring people and volunteers who came to visit the orphans.

They also brought a variety of gifts and toys, and the yard was a lively scene.

It's just that the distance is too far, so it's impossible to tell whether there are suspicious people disguised as visitors mixed in among them.

Fang Cheng's eyes wandered among the crowd and landed on a slightly familiar figure.

It was a young girl sitting on Wheelchair. She had a pure face, picturesque eyebrows, and her skin looked a little pale from not seeing the sun for a long time.

Compared with the last time we met in the community, the melancholy in her eyes had faded a lot.

At this moment, he had a bright smile on his face that was somewhat infected by the children, and he was looking attentively at the interaction between Cheng Jiashu and the children not far away.

Fang Cheng's eyes paused on her for a moment.

After confirming that it was the girl he met last time, he continued to observe the movements inside and outside Orphanage.

It's still early before Noah Organization's scheduled action, and everything seems calm at the moment.

It seemed like just an ordinary weekend afternoon.

The sun is warm, the breeze is gentle, and the years are quiet.

After an initial period of observation, the Fang Cheng was quite boring, and there was no Unexpected Events for the time being.

I simply started exercising in this hidden Tree Canopy room.

Instead of wasting Willpower in unnecessary waiting, it is better to invest every minute and second in your own training.

This kind of visible and tangible progress brings a sense of fulfillment far better than any vague calculation.

After all, only the constant Diligence of one's own strength is the most reliable way to deal with all enemies.

At this moment, Fang Cheng has completed three rounds of training.

After observing the tree for a while, I confirmed that everything was still safe at the foot of the mountain.

Then with a thought in his mind, a translucent Panel that only he could see appeared in front of his eyes.

[Leg Raises Experience+3]

[Leg Raises Lv2(376/500)]

[Pull-Ups experience +3]

[Pull-Ups lv2(409/500)]

[Back Bridge Experience+3]

[Back Bridge lv2(308/500)]

[Handstand Push-Ups Experience+4]

[Handstand Push-Ups Lv2(352/500)]

Looking at the data summary of skill improvement information, Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly.

The two skills Push-Ups and Squats have already reached Grandmaster-level. The experience gained from daily practice has become extremely slow and needs to be accumulated over time to slowly improve.

However, the effects of these four skills that have not yet been broken through are still significant if you take the time to practice them in a targeted manner.

At present, their Experience Progress Bar has exceeded 300 points, and they are not far away from Level Up again.

Especially Pull-Ups, according to the current progress, it will achieve a breakthrough and reach the level of Grandmaster within half a month at the latest.

If all six items Fitness Skills are successfully upgraded to Grandmaster-level, how amazing will your body be?

Fang Cheng can't help but have reverie.

The state that Awakening Mythic Talent was so much expected from me now seemed not so far away.

With a gentle breath, Fang Cheng calmed down the restlessness accumulated in his chest.

Then the body flipped over dexterously, like a weightless feather, quietly landing on the thick horizontal tree trunk.

I shook my arm that kept Exert Force, and felt a pleasant soreness deep in my muscles.

Fang Cheng did not continue high-intensity exercise.

It is a wise choice to end the warm-up, conserve your energy, and be in the best condition to face the upcoming battle.

As soon as the thought came to an end, Fang Cheng suddenly felt something in his mind.

A faint Mental Link fluctuation is like a small pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing slight ripples.

It seems that Xu Hao has collected some valuable information.

However, the guy seems to be still hesitating about something and has not yet taken the initiative to convey specific information to himself.

Fang Cheng The corner of his mouth curled up, but he did not actively urge him.

He was so rested that he sat cross-legged on this thick tree trunk with a wide view.

Like an old monk Entering Samadhi, his eyes are calmly overlooking everything under the mountain.

Time passed quietly minute by minute while waiting silently.

The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, spreading slowly like spilled ink.

Light and shadow move quickly and change on the ground.

The outline of the building in the distance began to look blurry in the dim light.

At a certain moment, the sky suddenly turned completely dark, as if it had entered dusk one step ahead of schedule.

Fang Cheng raised his head and looked at the gloomy leaden sky.

I thought to myself, "It's going to rain."

The night is already dark.

The darkness in the suburbs is purer and denser than in the city center.

The huge raindrops, carried by the violent wind, fell hard in a pouring manner.

The howling wind, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, echoed in the empty Street.

The light of the street lamp became blurred and dim in the rain curtain, barely outlining the rapid water flow on the road.

Such weather has almost stopped all unnecessary travel.

Home of Morning Light The lonely white building was swaying in the wind and rain, with several warm lights on, like a small boat struggling in the angry sea.

After the rain started suddenly, most of the volunteers and caring people who came to visit the children during the weekend holidays had to leave in a hurry before the rain was still light.

After all, no one wants to be trapped in this remote suburb.

Cheng Jiashu and several other visitors who were too embarrassed to leave immediately had a simple meal at the Dining Hall with Dean and the staff of Orphanage.

After dinner, the rain not only showed no sign of stopping, but became heavier and heavier.

Everyone could only stay in the Main Hall, watching the weather outside the window and waiting boredly for the rain to subside.

The newly appointed Director Li is a woman in her early fifties, with a kind face and a hint of fatigue from long-term hard work in her brows, but her eyes are very gentle.

She was talking to a middle-aged man who seemed to be quite distinguished, thanking him for his generous donation to Orphanage.

"Director Li, you are too polite."

The man smiled and praised:

"Since you took over Home of Morning Light, the children here have taken on a new look and the environment in the courtyard has also improved a lot. Those of us who do charity are very happy to see it."

"This is all due to the full support of kind-hearted people from all walks of life. I am just doing my own little bit."

Director Li waved his hand humbly and responded:

"The healthy growth of children cannot be separated from everyone's care. What I can do is to use every donation in practical ways to let the children feel the warmth of society..."

Cheng Jiashu was sitting on the sofa a little further away, listening to their conversation quietly, but looking out the window from time to time.

The rain washed away twisted light marks on Glass, blurring everything outside.

He had something on his mind, and he only casually responded to the occasional chats from a few visitors around him.

However, his eyes would always unconsciously drift to the girl sitting quietly on Wheelchair in the corner.

The rain seems to have no end.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, it seemed as if a huge hole had been opened in the sky.

After a while, the remaining visitors saw that the rain was really too heavy, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet, team up with each other, and leave in the rain.

Cheng Jiashu seems to be flipping through the Ippon pictorial casually, but in fact he concentrates his attention and pricks his ears.

Maximize your own perception ability and spread it out like ripples.

Orphanage Inside and outside, everything was peaceful, except for the sound of wind and rain, there was no other movement.

Those children have already turned off the lights and fallen asleep in Dormitory.

He frowned slightly, but the uneasiness in his heart did not subside. Instead, it became more solemn because of this unusual calmness.

The wall clock on the wall was ticking, and the hour hand pointed to the 10 o'clock position one by one.

At this moment, in the empty Main Hall.

Apart from Cheng Jiashu, there are only Director Li, a young assistant, and the girl Wheelchair who has been staying quietly in the corner.

Director Li covered his mouth and yawned, with obvious tiredness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"Mr. Su, the rain is so heavy and it looks like it won't stop for a while. Why don't you stay with us tonight?"

She looked at Cheng Jiashu with a questioning tone.

The pseudonym registered here by Cheng Jiashu is called Su Jiachen.

"Director Li, you go and rest first."

Cheng Jiashu replied as if nothing had happened:

"I made an appointment with a friend to pick me up. He should be there soon. I can just drive away by myself later."

"Okay then."

Director Li nodded, turned to the girl Wheelchair in the corner, and said softly:

"Yong'er, it's not convenient for you to move around, so you can stay here tonight. I'll ask Assistant Wang to clean it up for you. It's still the same room as before."

The girl named Yong'er raised her eyes and responded softly:

"Okay, please trouble Director Li and Assistant Wang."

Her voice is very sweet, as clean and clear as spring water.

She is also extremely polite in her words and deeds, and has the gentleness and propriety of a lady.

It's just that his face is a little too pale, and his eyes are black and white, showing a calmness that belies his age.

She seems to be very familiar with Director Li, and apparently she often stayed at Orphanage before.

With the help of Director Li and his assistant, Yong'er pushed Wheelchair and prepared to leave Main Hall.

Before leaving, her clear eyes, with a hint of scrutiny, fell on Cheng Jiashu again.

She always felt that this man was mysterious and looked at her in a strange way.

Not like others, who are either directly frivolous or curious and voyeuristic.

But with a habitual caution, as if observing everything in secret.

They were just acquaintances. They had known each other for more than half a year, but they had said very few words.

But Yong'er is sensitive by nature, and her intuition tells her that there seems to be some Danger secret hidden in this Mr. Su, which makes her instinctively want to keep a distance.

After Director Li and Yong'er left, Main Hall became completely quiet.

Cheng Jiashu put down the pictorial in his hand and looked out the window again, looking at the world swallowed by darkness and violent storms.

He had been waiting all night, but he never got the Assassin that he expected to be sent by Noah Organization.

Cheng Jiashu's heart is full of doubts.

That Anonymous Note clearly reminded him that the people of Noah Organization would take revenge on Home of Morning Light tonight.

But why hasn't there been any movement until now?

Could it be that the information is wrong?

Or is it that the other party has changed their plans?

Or, this is a Trap aimed at oneself, and the real target is not Orphanage.

But to lure yourself out and test your bottom line?

Cheng Jiashu Looking at the window that was washed away by the rain and blurred, his brain was running rapidly, analyzing various possibilities.

A security guard on night duty happened to be patrolling past Main Hall. When he saw Cheng Jiashu still staying here alone, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and continued his work.

Cheng Jiashu Take a deep breath and force yourself to be calmer.

No matter what, he had to wait.

Apart from anything else, patience is one of his few strengths.

Otherwise, he would not have sent Postcard to Fang Cheng three times in a row, waiting persistently for a reply from the other party.

Boom--

Suddenly, a thunder ripped through the thick rolling clouds.

The dark world outside the window was reflected as if it were daylight in an instant.

Cheng Jiashu's eyes also flickered slightly, as if he had caught some overlooked detail.

A thought, like lightning piercing the dark night, suddenly illuminated his mind.
