Chapter 579 - The Night Operation (1/2)

In the evening before the darkness first descended on Earth, the setting sun was particularly beautiful. The east of the sky was as blue as the sea, without a single cloud, clear, vast and unfathomable; in the west, sunlight was shed on clouds, making them glow in red, their jagged peaks squashed together like the red cream on a birthday cake or like thousands of Fire Bugs in red armor.

Behind the beautiful scene, the sun, with its lingering face like blood, sank helplessly into the sea of clouds. Reluctant and unwilling, it glanced toward Earth for the last time and sent a wisp of red light into a clear floor-to-ceiling window a million miles away, and shed it in a room that was filled with smoke, turning into a tiny bit of heat energy.

Here, the same as the world outside, the shadows were driving away the sunlight at a rapid speed, s.n.a.t.c.hing up the warm and bright places left by the setting sun on tables, sofas, and carpets, and the clear straight line between light and dark, was like the frontline of a fierce battle between two armies, with a dark army that kept winning and a light army kept losing.

At last, at some point, the exhausted light gave up the ashtray that piled with cigarette b.u.t.ts on the table, and the darkness that already waited for a long time swallowed up the ash at once without hesitation. The sparks of cigarette b.u.t.ts s.h.i.+ning in the darkness were its flags of victory.

Its pride, however, did not last long. A big, sweeping hand forced down its “battle flag,” and instantly extinguished it. It was so angry that he sent forth a cloud of pale smoke, brandis.h.i.+ng its sharp teeth and claws, at the owner of the big hand, the enemy in its eyes.

Seeing it was about to succeed in getting into the nostrils of the enemy, who had dared to snuff out its “battle flag”, and injecting a poison called nicotine into the enemy’s body, it felt elated. Wriggling its tiny, stripy body like a vengeful warrior, it was excited and pleased.

But unexpectedly, at this time the enemy suddenly opened “a b.l.o.o.d.y mouth”, spat out thick smoke, violently shredding its tiny body, easily tearing it into three sections. It hated the enemy. Although it was angry and unwilling, it could only see its body parts gradually scattered far away.

At the moment it was about to disappear, it vaguely discovered that the cloud of smoke its enemy spat out in the air seemed to also contain nicotine…

The smoke on the ashtray was cleared, the sunlight under the window also disappeared, the sun outside also set eventually, at this time, the light in the room was turned on.

In an instant, the darkness shrieked and shrank back, hiding behind the table and sofa, looking at the cold light with horror!

******

Chu Yunsheng missed the sun but was used to the darkness.

As if only in the darkness could he feel the great power contained within his body and the confidence that was granted by that power.

He was going to commence his plan this evening.

It didn’t take long to get down from the twelfth floor to the ground floor, but when the doors of another elevator opened up, he was lucky enough to discover that the person he was looking for was in there.

Although she was wearing a pair of big sungla.s.ses, a pink mask, she was still recognized by Chu Yunsheng at first glance.

In his life, he had only seen two stars, one was the Korean actress, who was captured by the people from the castle of raging fire, the other was Lin Shuiyao, although she insisted that she was just a model.

But being able to recognize her at first glance actually had nothing to do with him. It was just because her sungla.s.ses, mask, and several people around her, exposed her.

Chu Yunsheng decisively abandoned the elevator that was coming down from upstairs and got in the elevator that was going up. At the moment he stepped in, he took a quick glance at her, and she also took a glance at him.

He was a.s.sessing the strength of the security guards around her.

She wondered if the guy in the black hoodie, who was acting strangely, was a paparazzi.

Chu Yunsheng turned around, with both hands in the clothes’ pocket, facing the elevator door. Through the smooth surface of the door, he could clearly see that Lin Shuiyao’s bodyguards were watching him vigilantly.

Seven people, three women, and four men, and one of them was an old man, whose strength could be ignored. Three women probably would only know how to scream. Amongst the remaining three men, one middle-aged, two young, all looking physically fit, but he did not know what their actual combat abilities were like.

The reason for such a detailed estimate was that Chu Yunsheng wasn’t able to control his ability properly.

Edgar once said that once he attacked, he would definitely kill someone. The fighting skills Chu Yunsheng learned were through countless b.l.o.o.d.y battles, and all of the moves were the most ruthless and the fastest. Those abilities all aimed to kill the target in the shortest amount of time possible. In terms of the abilities to restrain a target, he never learned it before.

Now was still the age of Light, if a murder case happened in the Ruijin hotel, it would not be good to his plan, and the other people did not threaten his safety, there was no need for him to kill them.

At the very least, it would be a great waste to use black gas, which could destroy the bodies of a few ordinary people without any traces. Besides, he didn’t have that many, to begin with, he needed to use it at the most critical moment.

Therefore, to deal with them, he could only rely on Yuan Qi energy inside his body, combined with the nine diagrams of body movements and the sixteen diagrams of physical combat techniques that he learned from the divine realm. Although it was not as good as black gas, it was more than enough to deal with those people.

Of course, Chu Yunsheng was not going to start his plan now, nor did he want to disturb them, in case they would be scared away tonight. He just wanted to see which floor Lin Shuiyao lived on, then waited until tomorrow when the sun disappeared for the second time and then do it.

A woman got off the elevator halfway. Apparently, she was not with Lin Shuiyao. The elevator soon got to the 28th floor, Chu Yunsheng finally confirmed the floor that Lin Shuiyao lived in, but he did not follow her out of the elevator, instead, he turned around suddenly and said to her, “can I have your autograph please?”

He didn’t ask who she was, nor did he say who he was, but simply asked for an autograph. He had read entertainment news before. In this case, normally, these stars would comply with small, innocuous requests, such as asking for an autograph, to avoid excessive fan behavior in small s.p.a.ces.

“Yes.”

Lin Shuiyao’s reaction was very quick. Perhaps, she had encountered such a situation very often. But she still looked at Chu Yunsheng, who was empty-handed, calmly.

Chu Yunsheng pretended to rummage through his pockets, and said apologetically after he got nothing, “Sorry, I forgot to take papers and a pen, but I am your fan and I like your new film… what is it called again? Hmm…?”

In fact, he indeed forgot what film it was. In the past, Yu Xiaohai only said it once, he only had some vague memory of it and he had never seen it before.

Lin Shuiyao smiled helplessly. A person who claimed to be her fan, but he could not even remember the name of the film she was in. What kind of fan was he?

Neither was he a paparazzi, so most likely he was just a man, who was looking for some random woman to have some fun with.
