Damn, damn, damn!
Xu Xiaoshou felt that he would be unable to sleep for quite some time to come.
He had thought that his maneuver of matching wits and courage with thin air was already absurd beyond measure. Only someone cautious to the point of seeming slightly deranged could pull off something like that.
Yet he had never expected that this seemingly nonsensical act of self-verification would actually verify something.
"Someone is watching me!"
Night Owl?
Ninety-nine percent, it was Night Owl!
The only other possibility was Kong Yuhen... No, it absolutely was not Kong Yuhen!
Xu Xiaoshou was almost certain that this was the dangerous woman he had failed to encounter after escaping through the passage from Unforgiven Hall, not Kong Yuhen.
Because all along the way, Xu Xiaoshou had never met anyone this outrageous—someone who could watch a person without leaking even the slightest killing intent.
Even when Yu Lingdi watched someone, when Ba Zunan watched someone, when Gou Wuyue or Rao Yaoyao watched someone, they would at least give a "Focus," causing the information panel to offer some small warning.
But when this chief of the Darkness Division watched someone...
She was not even watching. Like a maggot clinging to bone, she followed him like a shadow!
Had his act of washing away his facial features not directly startled her and drawn a trace of her attention, Xu Xiaoshou would already have revealed his true form and resumed roaming about as himself.
A true assassin would never reveal even a shred of killing intent before the dagger entered the target's throat.
A mature hunter would never believe in any opportunity that seemed capable of accelerating the hunt before the prey had closed its eyes and breathed its last.
Night Owl was undoubtedly that kind of person! Xu
