Du Mu ran at top speed, leaving Matt standing alone in the middle of the hallway, facing a group of murderous ninjas.
That bastard!
Matt cursed inwardly and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
Unexpectedly, the footsteps that had just vanished around the corner of the hallway hurried back.
Du Mu returned to Matt's side, his face full of righteous indignation: "Attorney Matt, I've thought it over carefully. I just can't bring myself to abandon a comrade and flee alone, so I've decided to come back and fight by your side!"
Matt didn't speak.
Because in his perception, another group of ninjas had surged from around the corner, forcing Du Mu back.
Ninjas from both sides closed in on the pair from either end of the hallway.
Just as they reached a distance of about five meters, all the ninjas stopped in perfect unison.
The crowd parted like a tide, and a woman with a sexy figure stepped out. She wore a striking red ninja outfit with slits so high they reached her waist, perfectly revealing her long, toned legs.
The female ninja swept her gaze over Du Mu and Matt, saying coldly: "Hand over the ledger, and I might consider leaving your bodies intact."
Matt was surprised at the sound: "Your voice sounds a lot like my ex-girlfriend."
The female ninja: "..."
Du Mu: "..."
Bro, seriously? That's such a cliché way to hit on someone.
"What ledger? We've never even seen it!" Du Mu denied it flatly, decisively dragging Matt into the mess as well.
"In that case, you can stay here forever!"
The female ninja let out a cold snort, lunged forward, and grabbed two sai, thrusting them fiercely at Matt!
She didn't know why she chose Matt as her target; she just had a subconscious urge to beat him up.
"Elektra, it really is you!"
Matt dodged quickly, relying on his extraordinary senses. The signature weapon confirmed her identity.
Hearing the name, the female ninja frowned slightly, as if it had triggered some deeply buried memory.
Consequently, she fought even harder!
Seeing this, Du Mu couldn't help but shake his head: "Trying to recognize an ex is just asking for death. The best ex is a dead ex!"
At the same time, the surrounding ninjas swarmed toward him!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Du Mu fired decisively, instantly blowing the heads off several ninjas.
The other ninjas reacted with lightning speed, immediately throwing several smoke bombs to the ground. Thick smoke instantly filled the hallway, shrouding everyone.
However, the smoke did not hinder the ninjas' movements; instead, it served as their cover.
They blended skillfully into the smoke, their figures becoming blurred and ghost-like as they rapidly approached Du Mu's position, intending to launch an ambush from within the haze.
Just as a black-clad ninja snuck stealthily near Du Mu and pulled out a shuriken, preparing to strike—
An arm holding a gun suddenly pierced through the smoke, the muzzle aimed precisely at his forehead.
"Brother, want to buy some hacks?"
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, and the ninja collapsed to the ground.
Du Mu could see all the red markers of the ninjas through his mini-map.
Even with his vision obstructed, he only needed to judge their general direction via the mini-map to easily lock onto these ninjas who thought they were perfectly hidden.
If anything, the ninjas' cautious movements only made it easier for Du Mu to aim.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang--!
Du Mu stared at the red dots on the mini-map, raised his gun, and sprayed fire into the smoke.
Every gunshot was accompanied by the disappearance of a red dot on the map; he wasn't even pretending to struggle.
When the smoke slowly dissipated, the ground was littered with the corpses of the ninjas, who were likely spamming the report button against Du Mu in the afterlife.
On the other side, however, Matt was locked in a bitter struggle.
Because he recognized the opponent as his ex-girlfriend Elektra, Matt was full of reservations. His attacks were restricted, and he could only passively block and dodge.
Elektra, on the other hand, had no such qualms. Her moves were ruthless, aiming straight for Matt's vital points, and she used that groin-kick like it had no cooldown.
"Elektra! It's me! I'm Matt!"
Matt sensed that Elektra seemed to have lost herself. Between blocks, he kept calling her name, trying to awaken her memories.
"Matt?"
Elektra's movements faltered for a split second, her brows furrowed as if she were struggling to recall something.
Matt's heart leaped with joy, thinking he saw a glimmer of hope: "Elektra! Have you finally remembered?"
He subconsciously lowered his guard and stepped forward, only for Elektra to land a kick to his groin, causing him to instantly put on a mask of agony as he doubled over and collapsed to the ground.
What a masterful display of "all is fair in war"!
Du Mu, watching from the side, chuckled, "Matt, how could that method of yours possibly work? Let me handle this."
Du Mu put away his Golden Desert Eagle and walked slowly toward Elektra.
"Hey, do you remember who you are?"
Elektra did not answer; cold as a killing machine, she charged at Du Mu without a word, her twin sai thrusting out rapidly!
Eye of Death!
Time slowed to a crawl, and Du Mu calmly evaded the sai.
Then...
"Muay Thai Warning!"
Du Mu unleashed a fierce elbow strike, slamming it mercilessly toward Elektra's cold, beautiful face!
Elektra's pupils constricted as her combat instincts drove her to barely raise her arms in a cross-block.
Bang!
A dull thud of impact rang out!
The immense force made Elektra grunt as she was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground several meters away.
But Elektra was a top-tier assassin after all, and she quickly sprang to her feet with a kip-up.
However, her arms, which had been crossed in defense, were visibly swollen, and what she found even more unbearable was the clear bruise and swelling rapidly forming on half of her cheek.
A flicker of rage could not help but rise in those eyes that had been as cold and emotionless as a machine!
It turned out that even if one forgot the past, certain feminine instincts remained deeply ingrained.
"Die!"
Like an enraged leopardess, Elektra rushed forward recklessly, leaping into the air to lash out with a whip kick at Du Mu!
Du Mu reacted with lightning speed, raising his arm to block the kick before seizing her ankle and hurling her toward the nearby wall.
Bang!
Elektra slammed hard into the solid wall with a dull thud, feeling the impact rattle her internal organs.
Before she could catch her breath, Du Mu's offensive descended like a rainstorm!
As a top-tier assassin, Elektra's physical fitness and combat skills were first-rate.
It was just a pity she had run into a cheater like Du Mu.
With the buffs from Eye of Death and Muay Thai Warning, as long as he didn't encounter some absurd gimmick-based monster, Du Mu could easily crush any enemy with lower stats than his own.
The fight did not last long.
Under Du Mu's fierce onslaught, Elektra gradually became unable to parry, and was finally struck in the abdomen by a heavy, powerful hook from Du Mu, losing all combat capability and collapsing to the ground.
Du Mu walked up and grabbed Elektra by the collar, lifting her upper body. "How about it? Did you remember anything?"
Elektra did not answer, merely glaring at Du Mu with eyes full of killing intent and fury, as if she wanted to tear him apart.
Bang!
Du Mu did not hesitate in the slightest, landing another heavy punch on Elektra's already swollen cheek!
He then asked again, "How about now? Still haven't remembered?"
Elektra gritted her teeth, still glaring stubbornly.
Bang!
Another heavy fist smashed into her face!
"Remember, damn it!"
"Ahhh! I'm going to kill you!"
Bang!
"Have you remembered yet?"
"I remember! My name is Elektra! I remember everything!"
After who knows how many punches, Elektra finally screamed her own name.
The chaotic fragments of memory in her mind seemed to have been forcibly pieced together, and she gradually recalled everything.
Matt stood to the side, dumbfounded.
This wasn't waking up memories; this was clearly a forced confession under torture!
