Chapter 715 - The mystery of the statue (2/2)
Wang Yun opened his eyes in the tent. Through the gap in his tent, he looked silently at Ren Xiaosu, who was standing at the edge of the campsite. The others in the campsite were also alarmed and trickled out of their tents. Cheng Yu asked with a frown, “What happened?”
“Oh, this statue suddenly flew into the campsite. I don’t know how, but it somehow managed to stick itself back together.” Ren Xiaosu said in a very relaxed manner, “But don’t worry, I’ve already smashed it to pieces. Those of you who are already up and scheduled for night watch in the second half of the night, don’t go back to sleep. Just take over my shift.”
Wang Yun’s eyes twitched a little. Ren Xiaosu was one of the night watchmen for the first half of the night, but he didn’t expect Ren Xiaosu would foil his plan in such a straightforward manner. In truth, Luo Lan and the others had guessed correctly. This statue was indeed Wang Yun’s doing
If a statue weighing dozens of kilograms wanted to get into the campsite quietly, it would definitely require the power of a supernatural being to bring it in.
Meanwhile, Wang Yun’s superpower was to control the air. He could use it to kill people without leaving a trace.
There were all kinds of strange superpowers in this world, and Wang Yun was very satisfied with his since it was very well-suited for his profession.
When he was still serving in the field, he had used this power to assassinate many people. There were no murder weapons, fingerprints, or any evidence that could be found.
Furthermore, Wang Yun himself was also pleasantly surprised by his amazing ability to control air.
His motive for killing people this time was because he had discovered his competitors’ subordinates in the group.
Although the five of them had never appeared in the intelligence agency’s records before, Wang Yun had a photographic memory. He could clearly remember these five people had participated in the selection process of the Kong Consortium’s intelligence agency. However, they had all failed to get through it.
Thinking about it now, they were probably recruited and trained as suicide agents by his competitors after they were eliminated from the intelligence agency’s selection process.
He had never expected his competitors would still send people to disrupt his mission even though he had shown signs of backing down by leaving the Kong Consortium. In that case, how could Wang Yun possibly not think about killing them?
When it came to conflicts of interest and status within the consortiums, it was always a matter of life and death. Wang Yun could not afford to fail in his operation.
Later on, after he realized the statue might have attracted a lot of poisonous bugs because there was a child’s skeleton in it, he planned to use the statues to help him kill others. It could even end up frightening the other team members and mentally exhaust them with fear.
He was only trying his hand at this strategy with yesterday’s incident. Wang Yun was quite happy when he saw the reaction of the others at that time. However, he did not expect someone would kick and smash the statue to pieces today. Yesterday, the statue had only been broken into several dozens of pieces. But now, the head of the statue was almost pulverized.
However, this incident still caused a panic among the people at the campsite. Although Ren Xiaosu had smashed the statue to pieces, what they were terrified of was why the statue could piece itself back together and even follow them.
Could there really be something spooky going on in the mountains?
Cheng Yu asked Ren Xiaosu, “How did it get here?”
A person next to him asked anxiously, “Could someone be playing a trick on us?”
Actually, everyone just wanted to be sure if it was someone manipulating this from behind the scenes. As long as it was someone’s doing, it would not be that scary anymore and would prove it had nothing to do with mysticism.
Ren Xiaosu looked at everyone and comforted, “It flew over here by itself.”
With that, everyone got even more afraid.
However, Ren Xiaosu was not lying. It had indeed flown over by itself.
