This person is none other than the mercenary villa security leader Matsumoto Yasuo hired with a huge sum of money, code-named "Black Wolf".
Beside Black Wolf, several figures in camouflage uniforms stood quietly, exuding a chilling air.
"What do you want to do?"
Matsumoto Yasuo asked aloud, even though his forehead was pressed with a gun, his tone remained calm.
He had been in the club when he was young, his hands were stained with blood, and he had climbed all the way to where he is now.
Although he was a little shocked, he was not easily intimidated by this little battle.
At this moment, although Matsumoto Yasuo was full of doubts and didn't understand why the other party betrayed him, he had no time to investigate in detail.
He tried to stabilize the situation and advised, "Put down the gun and talk to me if you have anything to say.
If you are not satisfied with the treatment, we can discuss it, there is no need..."
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, the muzzle of the gun pressed against his forehead suddenly deflected, and the bullet sprayed out with hot flames.
Even with a silencer installed, the explosion still made half of his ears instantly deaf.
Immediately afterwards, there was the dull sound of bullets entering flesh, followed by the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Matsumoto Yasuo turned his head and looked, and saw the driver and bodyguard Xiao Chen lying on his back, the pistol dropped to the side, and a dark bloody hole suddenly appeared on his forehead.
Xiao Chen took a step slower because of the parking situation and realized something was wrong. He was about to draw his gun, but was shot dead on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Matsumoto Yasuo's legs went weak.
He fell to his knees with a "plop".
His complexion instantly turned as pale as paper, and large beads of sweat continued to seep from his forehead.
He could even feel the warm liquid slowly flowing down his cheeks.
At this point, he fully understood that it would be difficult to escape unscathed today.
Black Wolf didn't care at all about what Matsumoto Yasuo was thinking. He stretched out his hand and strangled his neck, lifted him up and walked towards the depths of the living room behind him.
In the living room.
There were three strange figures standing there, two men and one woman. They were dressed quite strangely, and one of them was holding a sword in his hand.
It is Hu Qi and his team.
Zhou Zhipeng's previous costumes were too eye-catching, but now she has changed into modern clothes.
Matsumoto Yasuo It can be seen at a glance that these three people are the real masterminds behind the scenes.
Just about to speak.
The next second, his eyes met Hu Qi. In an instant, his eyes became confused and hollow, as if his soul had been pulled away.
"From now on, I am your master."
Hu Qi's voice sounded calmly.
"Yes, Master."
Matsumoto Yasuo nodded.
"Now, go and get fifteen million Sakura Coin for us!"
"Please wait!"
Matsumoto Yasuo nodded, took out his cell phone, and made a call.
See this scene.
Vera on the side looked at Hu Qi with a complex expression.
The awe of Hu Qi is even deeper.
This method of mental hypnosis is even more terrifying than her superpower.
Use her lv2 mental hypnosis super power.
There is a limit to the number of people that can be controlled, and if an ordinary person with a strong will is still immune to breaking free, she almost overturned when she was hypnotizing several mercenaries nearby in this house.
These guys are all crawling out of the dead on the battlefield. They are all determined and cannot be hypnotized at all.
If Hu Qi hadn't taken action.
I'm afraid this plan will end in failure.
Then think of the scene where Zhou Zhipeng was knocked away with one blow.
She only felt that Hu Qi's strength was unfathomable.
Think of this.
She glanced at Zhou Zhipeng from the corner of her eye.
The other party's eyes were also a little surprised and uncertain.
Soon.
Three suitcases appeared in front of the Hu Qi trio.
After opening it, there was a stack of thick coins lying inside.
When Hu Qi's palm touched one of the black boxes.
The mechanical prompt from Reincarnation Book House sounded.
"Side Quest Two: Money, requirement: the acquisition amount reaches five million Sakura Coin, now completed!"
The same is true for Zhou Zhipeng and Vera.
I also received a reminder that Side Quest 2 was completed.
However, after doing all this.
The three did not leave immediately.
Instead, he stayed here.
After all, these people are gangsters and have nowhere to go.
The identity and power of Matsumoto Yasuo are of great use to Hu Qi and others, so they will naturally not give them up.
Time passes.
After a simple meal.
Instruct Matsumoto Yasuo to send people to find traces of Bai Chuan Youzhen.
Then the three of them returned to their chosen rooms.
inside the room.
The lights are bright.
Hu Qi sits cross-legged.
"Crimson!"
Something moved in his heart.
Try calling.
The next second.
The familiar translucent Crimson color panel appeared in front of him.
[System Host: Hu Qi]
[Status: Abnormal (Locked by Unknown Power)△]
[Life level: Spirit level (Infinite Dao) (under seal)]
[Physique: Demonic Elephant Physique (Heavenly Phenomenon Manifestation) (Crimson Sun Flame Domain)]
[Modification Points: 138450(57%)]
Watch this scene.
Hu Qi A strange color flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, compared to Crimson, even this mysterious Reincarnation Book House is nothing.
As long as he wants, he can use Modification Points to unlock the power lock of Reincarnation Book House at any time.
besides.
Although this body of his is just a clone, it is still a true god.
Even if it is just a clone, it will have the talents of the original body, magical powers, and even strength that far exceeds the average Apostle-level peak.
For the sake of caution, Hu Qi did not let this distraction carry too much power into Reincarnation Book House.
The internal situation of Reincarnation Book House is unknown. It is too powerful and may attract unnecessary attention.
So, he used Infinite Dao to seal most of the power in his body.
Only the Demonic Elephant Physique, which was specially left, and the two talents belonging to Demonic Elephant were retained.
And let the strength of this clone be suppressed at the spiritual level. Calculated, it is equivalent to a Spirit Refining Venerable.
Comparable to that Xu Shu.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this time.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
At the same time, the voice of Vera came from outside.
"Boss, it's us!"
"Come in! The door is unlocked!"
Hu Qi said casually.
Based on his perception of the surroundings, nothing in this room, or even in the entire villa area, could escape the shroud of his soul.
He had noticed these two people when they came over.
Hear the words.
The door was pushed open from outside.
Vera and Zhou Zhipeng walked in one after the other.
"Boss, look at this!"
Vera didn't talk too much. He directly handed the tablet in his hand to Hu Qi and clicked it open.
At the same time.
The voice of the female reporter in the picture came from it.
[At about 7:20 p. m., the Tianshui Bank branch of Fengxian Road in the old town of Taiban City was robbed.
The three robbers successfully stole a large amount of cash in full view of the public and then fled the scene...]
The female reporter said, and the scene changed.
The angle of view of this picture should be a surveillance point of the bank.
In the picture, three masked figures appeared, holding guns. After entering the bank, they opened fire without any scruples.
After killing several innocent citizens.
He threw the sack in his hand to the staff and asked him to fill it up.
The bank staff were frightened and did not dare to stop at all.
After a set of movements, it flows smoothly.
The total time did not exceed five minutes.
After everything was done, he quickly evacuated.
[According to statistics, the loss this time was 20 million. The police are currently involved in the investigation and are trying their best to hunt down the robbers...]
The video ends here.
"These three may be Intern Reader just like us!"
Vera said at this time.
To this.
Hu Qi is noncommittal.
The number of people is three, and although the amount is slightly different, it is still more than 15 million.
Moreover, during the video footage, a strange scene appeared.
That is, when these people were shooting and killing, there was a guy running towards the door.
As a result, when he came to the door, he seemed to have hit something. He was knocked up and fell to the ground. Only then were the three men shot him.
The other party robbed the bank in order to complete the second branch of the task and obtain the reward.
However, it is different from Hu Qi who are looking for rich people.
These guys chose the easy way out and just rob a bank.
Although that would work, it would be too easy to attract the attention of the officials in this world, and even the Yin Beast hiding behind.
That's why they didn't just go and rob the bank.
But under normal circumstances, most people would choose to find a place to survive for thirty days.
There is no need to take risks.
Coupled with the weird situation in the previous scene.
It is enough to prove that these three people are not simple, at least they are not ordinary people. They may have different abilities like Vera and Zhou Zhipeng.
However, if Hu Qi's speculation is correct, although these so-called "readers" have some special abilities, their strengths should be about the same.
Even if he is strong, he won't be that strong.
For example, his two cheap teammates.
Although there is a slight difference in ability, it is hard to say who will win in a real fight.
After all, something like Hu Qi is just an exception.
So, in his opinion.
These 'readers' are far from completely immune to the thermal weapon attacks of this world.
Not to mention that there is a so-called Yin Beast in this world.
If each one of them really has overwhelming strength, why would Reincarnation Book House go to all the trouble to send these Intern Reader to this world to perform tasks?
These three people act in such a flamboyant manner that it is easy for them to overturn.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Hu Qi.
From this news, we can also get another piece of information.
That is, not all Intern Reader who came to this world are Shenmu City.
For example, the location where the robbery occurred, Taiban City, is nearly a thousand kilometers away from Shenmu City.
According to the time they came to this world.
Unless the other party takes a car to go there immediately, it is impossible to rob him at this time.
"I guess if we can be placed in this world, there should be a competitive relationship between teams. Boss, let's see if we kill these guys in advance! We might even get hidden mission rewards!"
Vera had a look of excitement on his face.
Zhou Zhipeng on the side didn't say anything.
But there was obviously a hint of emotion on his face.
"Oh, then go ahead!"
Hu Qi glanced at the two of them.
Zhou Zhipeng That's all. After all, he grew up in a different environment and is used to killing people, so his behavior style will inevitably be extreme.
But this Vera looks smart on the surface, but in his heart he is a restless master, and even has a faint hint of madness.
Hearing what he said, Vera's smile froze.
The reason why they dare to be so unscrupulous is partly due to their personality, and the other half... is just because they think Hu Qi is strong enough.
certainly.
Only they themselves know whether the two of them wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and their thoughts on dealing with Hu Qi.
At midnight, everything is silent.
The dark night was like thick ink, and not a single starlight penetrated the deep darkness.
Taiban City A road winds through the nearby suburbs. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the Li City district, and is surrounded by endless desolation.
Occasionally, a few vehicles speed by with their headlights on.
A gray van was driving on the expressway.
The surrounding scenery quickly retreated.
"This so-called mission difficulty is nothing more than that!"
inside the car.
One woman and two men.
They are probably around 20 or 30 years old.
The light inside the car was dim, with only the instrument panel glowing with a faint blue light.
The short-haired woman in the driver's seat was holding the steering wheel with one hand and resting her other hand casually on the window.
The blood-colored Lycoris Radiata on her neck was particularly dazzling in the night. The pattern of the petals meandered along the lines of her neck, as if blood was oozing from the skin.
In the rear compartment.
A fat man was counting the banknotes with greasy fingers.
Another Red-haired Youth suddenly sneered.
His thin figure sank into the seat, and his broken hair dyed Crimson hung in front of his eyes.
On the floor of the carriage, the bulging mouth of the sack was loosened, revealing bundles of Sakura Coin inside.
The edges of the new banknotes rustled in the bumps.
"Those idiots still wanted to resist, but I beat them to death directly. This feeling is so good."
The fat man chuckled.
"Sister Hua, next, are we going to Shenmu City?"
Red-haired Youth looked at the short-haired woman in front and asked.
Hear the words.
The short-haired woman just snorted coldly.
"This world is not that simple, those... huh? Not good!!"
She was just halfway through her words.
His complexion changed.
The next second.
puff!
Sudden.
The moving car body suddenly shook, accompanied by the harsh sound of metal twisting and tearing.
A hole suddenly opened in the inner wall of the carriage.
A black tail with a triangular tip like a sharp blade penetrated directly through and sank into the fat man's chest.
"Uh... save... save me..."
Blood spurted out of his mouth as if he wanted no money.
He looked at the remaining two people and stretched out his hand with difficulty.
"Grass!"
See this.
Their expressions changed slightly.
And, because of sudden changes.
As a result, the driving car was unstable, with one side of the body lifted and leaning to one side.
The car suddenly braked.
The wheels rubbed violently against the ground, making a sharp and ear-piercing sound, which was particularly scary in the silent night.
Immediately afterwards, the car body tilted sharply and hit the green guardrail on the side of the road.
"Bang!"
A loud noise shook the night sky, and the van instantly broke through the guardrail, rolled down the slope, and finally rolled over on the side of the road.
The wheels of the car are still rotating rapidly mechanically under the action of inertia.
A large amount of black smoke mixed with the faint light of fire lit up from inside the shattered car.
It seemed like the car would explode in the next second.
Bang!
At this time, a deafening loud noise suddenly exploded, and the sound echoed in the sealed carriage.
Looking closely, the steel door of the black van was actually twisted and deformed under the heavy impact, and a shocking bulge appeared on the metal surface.
Bang!
The second heavy blow followed, and the entire car door shot into the sky like a cannonball, flying very high and drawing a parabola in the air.
A "pop" sound was heard diagonally on a muddy field bank a few meters away.
"Click——"
An arm with bulging veins reached out first, its fingers gripping the deformed car frame like iron pliers.
With the groan of the metal being overwhelmed, a streak of red hair was spread out, and a body as tall as a mountain jumped out of the car.
After that, another relatively slender figure landed immediately.
Surprisingly, that burly figure was the thin red-haired man from before.
However, he has undergone tremendous changes compared to before.
The whole person's body size expanded several times like an inflated ball.
The eyes glowed faintly red.
Standing there like an iron tower.
It's surprising to experience such a violent shock.
The two of them were just a little embarrassed and did not suffer any serious injuries.
"What the hell is this?"
The two looked around.
Instantly locked somewhere.
I saw it, on the road ahead.
There is a monster.
It is suspended in mid-air, and its body seems to be condensed by twisted mist.
Its outline appears and disappears.
The most eye-catching thing is the long tail.
The whole body is as black as ink, and the surface is covered with fine scaly lines. The tail end is as sharp as a knife, forming a perfect triangle. The sharp edge shines with cold light, as if it can cut through anything easily.
Whenever it swings slightly, its tail will leave a faint black afterimage in the air, like the tail sting of some poisonous creature, dangerous and deadly.
Its head has no clear face, only two long and narrow cracks, like eyes, revealing the light of Crimson.
The large mouth below is full of shark-like serrated teeth.
Standing there, the light all around seemed to be slightly distorted.
Obviously, this monster was the one that attacked them.
When I saw the two people's eyes, they looked at each other.
Without saying a word, the monster rushed straight towards the two of them.
See this.
The Lycoris Radiata tattoo on the neck of a short-haired woman named Sister Hua is strange and twisted.
She squirmed like a living thing, and the dark red roots spread crazily along her pale skin.
In an instant, a dazzling red light appeared all over his body, like an ominous light seeping from the abyss of hell.
Immediately afterwards, a layer of flames enveloped her body.
"It's Yin Beast!"
she snapped.
"Come together and kill it!"
Half a minute later.
"Boom——!!!"
Deafening explosions resounded through the night sky, the burning van completely disintegrated in Blazing Flames, and the fiery shock wave swept around with thick smoke.
The firelight soaring into the sky illuminated an area of tens of meters in radius, making the originally dim field ridges look like daylight.
In a twisting heat wave.
The monster's body gradually disintegrated, turning into wisps of black gas and dissipating into the air.
Under the firelight, two bloody figures still stood.
It's just that at this moment, they are no longer as calm as before.
The red-haired man's body returned to a thin figure, his entire left arm was broken at the shoulder level, and blood continued to drip down the broken sleeve.
The short-haired woman next to her was scarred, and the Lycoris Radiata tattoo on her body had returned to normal.
"Ding! Kill an intermediate Yin Beast, and you will be rewarded with a hundred points of royalties!"
A cold mechanical sound sounded in my mind.
But it made the short-haired woman's face even more ugly.
"Did you get a hint of that thing?"
The short-haired woman recounted the information in her mind.
Hear the words.
The red-haired man shook his head.
However, his expression turned even gloomier and uglier.
He paid such a high price because he didn't do it himself in the end, so there was no reward.
Seems to see this.
The short-haired woman said that if she survived, she would give half of this thing to him.
Or wait until the next Yin Beast reward is given to him, which will make the red-haired man look better.
However, the two of them immediately thought of the content of the prompt.
According to the plot of the world in their minds, Yin Beast is divided into four levels: primary, intermediate, advanced and king.
——And such a monster is actually only an intermediate level.
If you encounter high-level Yin Beast...
As for the legendary king level? That was a doomed situation.
"Let's go!"
Without any unnecessary communication, the two of them managed to evacuate quickly despite their injuries.
In the blink of an eye, their figures completely merged into the dark night.
Three people like this are just an example.
Although there are many Intern Readers in this world, they have not yet taken action, but are lurking in secret.
After all, there are still a few days until the task is completed, so there is no rush.
The night is like ink, getting darker and darker.
In the blink of an eye, it was two o'clock in the morning and everything was completely silent.
Shenmu City, Qinglu Mountain Villa.
In the backyard of a three-story European-style manor, a black soil that had obviously been renovated shook slightly, breaking the dead silence.
Immediately afterwards, strands of black air escaped from the soil, winding and hovering in the air like a ghost, gradually gathering, and finally turning into a dark shadow.
The shadow resembles an octopus the size of a buffalo, but it is completely different from an ordinary octopus.
The suckers on its limbs were covered with ring-shaped serrations, shining with a cold light in the darkness.
After it slowly emerged, its cold gaze instantly penetrated the glass and locked onto a security guard who was keeping watch inside the house.
A look of resentment flashed across his face.
However, just when it was about to take action.
A deep male voice suddenly sounded from one side.
"Is this Yin Beast? It feels a bit like a wraith..."
Yin Beast turned around suddenly and saw Hu Qi standing there at some point.
At this moment, he was watching the octopus monster with great interest, as if he was examining a novel toy.
A body lay beneath the soil.
It was none other than Xiao Chen, who was shot in the head during the day.
This Yin Beast was apparently born from its corpse.
Moreover, as soon as he appeared, he became murderous towards Black Wolf who killed Xiao Chen in the house during the day.
This behavior is almost indistinguishable from a wraith.
Octopus Yin Beast seemed to be irritated by this gaze, and its tentacles danced and swept towards Hu Qi.
However, Hu Qi just raised his hand to grab it, and an invisible powerful force instantly enveloped Yin Beast.
Under the suppression of this force, Yin Beast's huge body quickly shrank, but in the blink of an eye.
It turned into the size of a table tennis ball and landed in Hu Qi's palm, without any movement.
After doing all this, Hu Qi disappeared from the spot.
But inside the house, there was only a wall of security guards who didn't notice anything.
