Qin Ran's left fingers pierced the scarlet eyeball. Semi-gelatinous blood immediately flowed out, only to be vaporized at once by the flashing electricity.

Aah!

Amid an uncontrollable scream of agony, a figure convulsed and fell to the ground.

Under the moonlight, the person's entire body was charred black, and they soon fell silent.

[Brutal Thunderfist. Lightning Strike]!

Though it was only a relatively powerful electric shock, piercing through the eyeball and striking deep into the brain's vital area turned it into a fatal blow.

Qin Ran pushed open the window and stood inside the room, looking down at the corpse on the ground outside.

He did not need the moonlight. With SSS+-rank Perception, Qin Ran could see the corpse before him clearly.

The dark leather armor, soft-soled boots, dagger in hand, and pouch at the waist all seemed to clearly announce that the other party was a thief.

However...

The calluses on the man's hands did not look like they had been left by years of using a dagger.

They should have come from a thicker sword hilt.

And the man's build, even concealed beneath leather armor, appeared a little too muscular.

Of course, the most important point was that every qualified thief should know how to avoid light, especially moonlight.

Qin Ran climbed out through the window and crouched before the corpse, carefully examining it.

When he saw the two pristine bottles of potion in the man's pouch, the man's identity was beyond doubt.

"A warrior disguised as a thief?"

"An unqualified impersonator!"

"Sending someone like this after me..."

"Did they choose a trusted subordinate for the sake of secrecy?"

"Or were they so impatient that they simply did not want me to see another sunrise?"

"It seems this constable is far more hated than I imagined."
