The night was pitch black, with only scattered streetlights on the roads.
Deep inside this alleyway.
"Not bad, whether it's this combat experience or my psionic abilities, I can use them both with great proficiency..."
"Now, starting the timer."
Wang Zhong stood in place, getting a feel for his significantly more agile body. He then took out the [Disposable Disguise Mask] with his right hand and put it on. Quickly, the mask automatically conformed to the contours of his face. Then, with a flash of white light, an ordinary middle-aged appearance replaced Wang Zhong's true face.
Immediately after, Wang Zhong slowly walked out of the alleyway. He first glanced around the street and, finding no pedestrians, headed towards the entrance of the apartment building.
Twenty-three seconds later.
Wang Zhong arrived at the entrance of Mien's rented apartment.
Smart electronic door lock.
Alloy door.
Both of these devices were new, clearly having been replaced recently.
Standing at the entrance of the apartment, Wang Zhong quickly memorized everything he saw before him. Then, his ears trembled slightly, and he could clearly hear elegant classical music playing inside the room. Besides that, he could also vaguely smell the aroma of roasted meat through the gap in the door.
Mien was a classical music enthusiast, and he never missed meat in his three daily meals.
As this thought crossed his mind, Wang Zhong suddenly reached into his chest and took out the [Mechanical Phone A10]. The phone screen flashed, splitting into two halves. One half displayed the scene inside the apartment, while the other half showed the scene outside the apartment door.
It was evident that Mien was a very cautious person. Look, the other party had even placed two miniature surveillance cameras at the entrance of the apartment building's stairs and on the ceiling of the apartment's entryway.
"Crackling."
Instantly, Wang Zhong typed a few words on the phone screen.
[Intelligent System, loop the surveillance outside the apartment to a scene with no one present.]
[Simultaneously, unlock the apartment's smart door lock.]
At this moment, Wang Zhong felt very fortunate that the portable hacker he carried was an [Intelligent Mechanical Phone]. Therefore, he didn't need to speak; he could just type to assign tasks.
"Okay, Master."
The screen of the [Mechanical Phone A10] suddenly displayed four characters.
"Swish."
Immediately after, lines of data runes representing [0] and [1] appeared on the phone's screen.
About seven seconds later, the apartment's smart electronic door lock suddenly opened silently.
At the entrance of Mien's apartment.
Wang Zhong lowered his head and glanced at the surveillance footage inside the apartment. He saw that Mien was still standing in the kitchen, eating roasted meat with large bites.
Mien's rented apartment was a hundred square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a balcony for drying clothes.
The dining room was located at the innermost side of the apartment.
The next second, Wang Zhong's figure moved. Like a wild cat, he quickly infiltrated the apartment. His footsteps were light and agile, making no sound as he moved.
Thirty-eighth second.
Wang Zhong's agile figure, like a wild cat, had stealthily approached the dining room. At the same time, his peripheral vision clearly saw Mien grilling in the kitchen.
Wang Zhong did not look directly at Mien but observed him from the corner of his eye. This way, he would not trigger any of the other party's senses.
In the kitchen.
Mien continued to hum a song while eating roasted meat, completely unaware that a deadly reaper was standing five meters away from him.
Or rather, he was very confident in the smart door lock he had personally designed.
Forty-second second.
After carefully observing, Wang Zhong narrowed his eyes, crouched down, and lowered his breathing even further. Then, he gripped a fruit knife in his right hand and silently approached Mien from behind.
Buzz.
Faintly, a greenish psionic glow could be seen emanating from the fruit knife in Wang Zhong's right hand.
This was the special ability of a [Level 3 Psionic Warrior].
Forty-fourth second.
Mien, who was using a brush to tend to the roasted meat, froze. In that instant, an icy chill suddenly spread throughout his entire body. Immediately after, a chilling sharpness pierced his heart, emerging directly from his chest.
A chilling stab!
Mien was backstabbed and pierced through the heart.
"Someone's trying to assassinate me?"
As this thought flashed through his mind, a cruel glint appeared in Mien's eyes. Disregarding the fruit knife piercing his heart, he quickly turned around, his right arm exerting force like a thick wooden club, sweeping fiercely towards his back.
Snap.
Unfortunately, Mien missed.
The attacker had already retreated in time, causing Mien's strike to only shatter the kitchen door.
It was only then that Mien got a clear look at the person who had attacked him.
It was a man with an ordinary appearance and a slightly plump build, but his eyes flickered with a faint emerald psionic glow.
"Who are you? Why are you trying to kill me?"
"Did the organization send you to retrieve the remains I assembled?"
At this moment, Mien's thick right hand supported himself against the kitchen wall. He panted heavily, glaring at Wang Zhong and demanding an answer.
Screech!
However, Mien's only response was a fruit knife gleaming with faint emerald psionic energy.
"Damn it."
Seeing the attacker's dishonorable move, Mien roared. Then, pushing off with his legs, he lunged forward like a charging bear, hurtling directly towards Wang Zhong.
Seeing this, Wang Zhong's movements also adjusted.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wang Zhong paused, his legs exerting force. Then, like a flashing emerald stream of light, he swiftly cut through the air, rapidly moving towards Mien.
His speed was so fast that Mien could barely react.
Swift as a cheetah!
The eyes of an ordinary person couldn't even keep up.
Even though Mien was a [Level 2 Psionic Warrior], due to years of neglecting his training, he was momentarily unable to match the attacker's movement speed.
This situation meant that Mien's fate would be grim.
