Bang bang bang bang...

The violent gunfire noise filled all the surrounding space.

The flickering of gunfire illuminated the surrounding area intermittently, alternating rapidly.

Those who followed Mr. Xu were all well-trained private armed forces.

When they rushed forward, they already subconsciously stood in a row and shot at Lu Xin without mercy. The bullets were accurate and the attacks were fierce. However, in their field of vision, they saw Lu Xin's bullets facing them. There was an expression of excitement on their faces. Their bodies twisted strangely in the air and moved several meters later. The bullets immediately hit the empty space.

But when they hurriedly moved their guns to catch up with Lu Xin, he was already approaching quickly.

Under the gunfire and the light of the surrounding street lights, his figure was fast and strange, like an afterimage. An armed man on the far left quickly turned his gun to trace him, but when the gun was pointed at him, Lu Xin was already in front of him.

Face pressed against the muzzle of the gun.

He was frightened and hurriedly pulled the trigger.

Lu Xin, who was pointed at by his gun, showed a scary smile. He dodged the whizzing bullets on the side of his head, and then reached out to grab the armed man's arm. He immediately felt that his right arm was cold, as if he had been invaded by cold air, and he seemed to have lost his control. This made him frightened and angry, and his left hand quickly dropped to pull out the dagger on the outside of his thigh.

But when he pulled out the dagger, his right hand pulled out the pistol from his waist and fired a shot into his left arm.

He actually started fighting with his hands, and he was very cruel.

Then, it was no longer two hands fighting, his two legs were twisted together, and his body suddenly twisted into a weird and overlapping shape, as if his right shoulder fell in love with his left lower abdomen, and his left rib fell in love with his right cheek...

The other armed personnel just watched helplessly as a black shadow flashed by, and the opponent on the far left turned into a twisted shape. The panic in their hearts was indescribable. They no longer worried about hurting their teammates, and at the same time raised their guns and fired in that direction.

But their teammates were beaten into pieces, and the black shadow disappeared.

They looked around in panic, and then suddenly looked up and found that Lu Xin was among them.

He even had a funny smile on his face.

All of a sudden everyone was shocked. They stepped back and raised their guns.

But at this moment, Lu Xin's extremely strange shadow had passed through them.

"Crackling"

Someone yelled and swung the dagger at the shadow, but a chill went down his neck because his arm had been twisted strangely. He thought he was swiping the dagger forward, but in fact it was swiping at his neck with unusual ferocity...

Someone fired angrily, but gunshots rang out from behind.

He looked down and realized that his neck had been twisted 180 degrees at some point, and he was looking behind him.

It's hard to tell how noisy it was at that moment.

In front of the quiet villa, suddenly the sound of gunshots, shouts, and bullets hitting the ground intertwined.

Everyone became weird and twisted at this time, like a group of toys that couldn't help themselves.

In the middle, someone heard a faint little girl's laughter.

The gunshot sounded suddenly, and so did the eerie silence.

There were seven or eight bodyguards, and they all fell to the ground in a twisted shape, and some of them could no longer make a sound.

Some people were still breathing, but they were frightened by the scene in front of them.

"Hehe, it's fun, it's so fun..."

Lu Xin appeared among the twisted members of the armed squad, as well as the gun parts, daggers, shells, and human parts scattered on the ground. He turned his head slightly and looked at his sister. At this time, the sister was squatting next to him, her eyes dark and shiny, and she clapped her hands gently, looking at the chaos around her, as if she was looking at her own masterpiece on the ground, with a look of excitement on her face.

Sensing Lu Xin's eyes, she suddenly raised her little face, seeming a little wary.

It seemed like she was a little afraid that Lu Xin would scold her.

But Lu Xin looked at her for a while, but he just bent down and touched her head gently, not approving, but not reprimanding either.

Then he straightened up and looked around.

In the eyes of others, it was clear that Lu Xin's figure suddenly became weird, and then suddenly became normal, but it seemed that he had not moved at all, as if the person who had just turned into a terrifying and weird shadow was not him, and all this had nothing to do with him.

He carefully raised his feet to avoid the armed men on the ground, as if he was afraid of stepping on them.

Then he walked over to the Xu family and his daughter on the doorstep.

"Pa..."

Suddenly there was a gunshot behind him, and Lu Xin turned around strangely.

Only then did he realize that it was the butler who had fallen down just now. After struggling for a long time, he accidentally pulled the trigger.

Then the gun that had been pointed at his forehead immediately killed him.

Lu Xin Relaxed and continued to move forward.

"Mr. Single Soldier..."

Suddenly a trembling voice sounded from one side.

Lu Xin stopped slightly and turned to look at him.

It was fat man Manager Liu who spoke. He met Lu Xin's gaze and subconsciously took a step back.

He had met some ability users before, and even saw some ability users solving some problems in private, but it was obvious that the abilities of the ability users he had seen were either magical or weird, which always made him feel surprised. But obviously, what he saw today was one that really made him feel a little scared, and it was a fear that made people feel chilled from the bottom of his heart...

It was like, that person was just looking at me quietly now, and he didn't seem to have any angry or hostile expression.

But I could feel a vague feeling of hairiness.

It seemed like he was being targeted by something dangerous.

"Mr. Single Soldier, I want to say..."

He paused and forced his voice not to tremble. "If anything happens, it's better for everyone to discuss it. Mr. Xu and Main City are also very important. Some things should be dealt with according to reason... It's better than making a fuss that doesn't end well..."

Lu Xin listened with a surprised expression on his face. "Am I not being reasonable?"

"No... I didn't mean that..."

Fatty Manager Liu hurriedly explained, "I mean, it didn't have to come to this step."

Lu Xin frowned, then looked at the daughter who was held in Mr. Xu's arms, and said, "She pointed the gun at me first."

After a pause, he said, "And she did have the intention to shoot at that time."

"This... yes, it's Miss Xu's fault..."

Fatty Manager Liu trembled, but did not deny this, but tried hard to explain:

"But with your ability, it's easy to subdue her. There's no need to... destroy her hands."

Lu Xin frowned, seeming to be thinking about this issue.

He thought for a moment and then said seriously, "You mean I should let her have it?"

Fatty Manager Liu was stunned for a moment, unable to turn a corner, but it seemed to be the truth...

Lu Xin shook his head. "Just because I have the ability, doesn't mean I have to give in to her."

"She and I are fair. I don't have to bully her because of my ability, and she shouldn't bully me because of her inability."

"Right?"

"..."

Lu Xin said these words very seriously.

Although he may also feel that his sister has gone too far, he knows that he should not blame his sister for this kind of thing, nor should he push the problem onto her. After all, he has to distinguish between the inside and the outside. Another point is that if his sister does not help him, then he is an ordinary person. Since he is also an ordinary person, why must he give up to her?

No one should bully anyone, this is true fairness.

"This..."

Faced with Lu Xin's serious words, Fatty Manager Liu was obviously in a daze.

After a while, he could only sigh, "Even so, it won't end well if it gets to this point..."

"Yes..."

Lu Xin unexpectedly nodded and said, "If everyone had been reasonable, things would not have come to this point. I will help her cure the contaminated matter, and I will also help them solve the problem Pollution Source... I won't even add money... Her hands will not be injured, the housekeeper on the second floor will not die, and these bodyguards will be fine, and you don't have to worry so much here..."

"Now it's like this..."

He glanced at the Xu family and his daughter and said, "They must reflect on it!"

"..."

Fatty Manager Liu suddenly didn't know what to say.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but according to Lu Xin, there was nothing wrong with the logic.

Lu Xin Seeing that he stopped talking, he continued to walk forward.

"You..."

It wasn't until Lu Xin came in front of him that Mr. Xu reacted.

He hugged his daughter tightly, tried his best to shrink back, and shouted in a dry voice, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"You... do you really think that by joining that department, you can be... lawless?"

"..."

"I don't feel like I'm lawless..."

Lu Xin glanced at him and said calmly, "I'm just saving your lives. No matter what the painting you want to hide is, or what you want to do with it, it doesn't matter. I'm just sure that the painting is not something you can just get rid of. Especially if something goes wrong, it won't be just you."

"So, even if you don't let me take care of it, I still have to take care of it."

While he said this, he also glanced at Fatty Manager Liu and said, "After all, your business is just private work."

"And dealing with these things is one of my jobs...!"

"..."

"You... how do you know?"

Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Lu Xin had mentioned the painting, and the look on his face suddenly changed.

"Now I want to discuss something else with you."

Lu Xin did not answer his words, but just looked at him seriously. "According to the regulations, I cannot let you keep Pollution Source secretly. Originally, if you agreed, we could solve the problem smoothly. Then I can help you keep your identity secret or other things according to the terms of the contract, but now I see that you are particularly uncooperative in this matter."

"So, now I need to report this matter to the leader."

"Because you didn't cooperate in the first place, so even if you report it, you can't say that I violated the contract..."

"You can understand this, right?"

"..."

Lu Xin These words are very serious.

After all, if you violate the contract, you won't get the money.

Therefore, it is important to clearly define responsibilities.
