In the living room.
A bright electric lamp hung from the living room ceiling.
Its dim yellow light shone over the sofa, illuminating half of Wang Zhong's face, making one side gleam while the other remained in shadow.
Just like Wang Zhong's mood, trapped in a complicated swirl of emotions.
"Sigh!"
After a long while, Wang Zhong let out a helpless sigh.
A disaster out of nowhere!
Wang Zhong had never expected that before he could make a move against [Sain Mechanical Company] and Xiao Zhe, they would already be planning to eliminate him.
What Wang Zhong had not expected even more was that [Sain Mechanical Company] had actually created these Half-demon warriors and intended to use the lives of Slums residents to test their combat capabilities.
Human lives truly were cheaper than grass!
At that moment, Wang Zhong gained an even deeper understanding of these major corporations.
"[Smart], record and save this conversation for me..."
"Also, investigate the Demon in detail, including the weaknesses of these Demons..."
After a moment of silence, Wang Zhong narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly to [Smart].
"The recording has been saved..."
"Demons are this planet's greatest enemy. They reside deep within the planet's core..."
"Every year, Demons emerge from the depths of the core and return to the surface, where they burn, kill, plunder, and extinguish lives..."
"According to reports, Demons must devour lifeforms containing psionic power in order to advance in strength..."
"These Demons possess combat power equivalent to that of a [Level 4 Psionic Warrior] from birth. The strongest Demons wield the formidable power of a [Level 9 Psionic Warrior]..."
"Furthermore, Demons have long lifespans. An ordinary Demon can live for more than two hundred years. Their reproductive ability is also extremely powerful, which has earned them the nickname of bloody demonic beasts..."
"The weakness of ordinary Demons is their hearts. As long as a Demon's heart is pierced, it can be killed..."
At that moment, [Smart]'s cold electronic voice echoed through the silent living room.
One had to know!
Having transmigrated here for half a year, Wang Zhong had gained a clear understanding of this world.
This was a high-tech world where supernatural powers ran rampant.
Psionic power was this world's supernatural force.
Yet this supernatural world had Demons, natural enemies that lived deep within the planet's core.
Demons needed to devour Psionic Warriors who possessed psionic power to increase their strength.
In order to protect themselves, humans could only take up weapons and fight back against the Demons.
It could be said that Demons were humanity's natural enemies.
Yet Wang Zhong had never expected that the people of [Sain Mechanical Company] could create Half-demons infused with Demon Power.
On that point alone, [Sain Mechanical Company] had already become humanity's natural enemy.
"However, what I should be worrying about right now is Xiao Zhe coming to assassinate me."
On the sofa, Wang Zhong rhythmically pressed his right hand against his brow. Narrowing his eyes, he muttered, "So, if I want to survive, I can only strike first."
Deal with the assassin.
Deal with Xiao Zhe.
That was the first thing Wang Zhong needed to do next.
"Sigh, I was planning to visit my ex-girlfriend in the hospital these next few days. Now that this has happened, I'll have to postpone it again."
"Smart, track Xiao Zhe in real time and monitor all of his conversations..."
"The moment Xiao Zhe comes within three kilometers of me, notify me immediately."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Zhong immediately gave [Smart] the order.
"Understood."
The next second, a cold electronic voice rang out beside Wang Zhong's ear.
Although that electronic voice sounded cold, hearing it brought Wang Zhong reassurance.
That was the benefit of having a personal hacker with him!
Wang Zhong only needed to issue an order, and [Smart] would carry it out accordingly. It was truly an outstanding assistant.
Half an hour later.
Wearing the [Half-body Psionic Battle Suit], Wang Zhong gripped a Fruit knife in his right hand and listened coldly to Xiao Zhe's conversation.
"Let me see who survived the [Museum Theft Case]?"
"Huh? Wang Zhong is the only survivor?"
"Sigh, do I still have to deal with Wang Zhong myself in the end?"
"Fine. For the sake of us once being colleagues from the same place, I'll let Wang Zhong die with his eyes closed tonight and send him on his way without pain."
"I'll have one last dinner with Wang Zhong tonight. Then, once he gets home, I'll send him on his way!"
"At most, Wang Zhong, I'll wait until you're completely dead before dismembering your corpse. That way, you can provoke the greatest possible hatred from that old bastard Li Ying, and the pressure on our company will be reduced considerably..."
On the sofa, Wang Zhong listened to that mocking voice, and the gaze on his grim face grew increasingly chilling.
"Ding-dong."
Suddenly, a notification tone for an incoming message sounded in Wang Zhong's ear. He reached out, unlocked his [Mechanical Phone A10], and saw a text message sent by Xiao Zhe.
[Xiao Zhe: Wang Zhong, I have some good news to tell you tonight. Same old place. Let's have some barbecue together.]
"Sigh!"
"Are you really that impatient to kill me?"
Staring at the message, Wang Zhong shook his head and spoke heavily.
However, Wang Zhong did not refuse Xiao Zhe's invitation. After considering it for a moment, he sent Xiao Zhe a message.
[Wang Zhong: Alright. Tonight at nine thirty, same old place. See you there.]
Tonight, Xiao Zhe was doing everything possible to kill Wang Zhong.
As it happened, Wang Zhong was now doing everything possible to kill Xiao Zhe as well.
However, Wang Zhong intended to act much earlier than Xiao Zhe.
"Sigh!"
After making up his mind, Wang Zhong sighed once more. His right hand tightened around the Fruit knife, and the conflicted look in his eyes gradually turned cold.
Today, Wang Zhong had sighed more times than he had in the entire past year.
Before you continue
