Chapter 975 - Heartworm (1/2)

Ren Xiaosu stood on the roof in his black rain poncho. He could make out hundreds of hitmen approaching the building he was on, but he did not panic.

”Which organization are you from?” Ren Xiaosu looked at the sniper who he'd broken the limbs of. ”Only a consortium can plant so many spies in Luoyang City. Tell me, which consortium do you belong to?”

The sniper was lying on the ground and struggling in pain. His teammate's questioning voice came through his earpiece as the communications channel remained open. As such, Ren Xiaosu's voice was also transmitted through the earpiece to the other party.

Ren Xiaosu squatted next to him and pulled it out of his ear. ”Tell me which organization you belong to, and I'll spare your life.”

The sniper was breathing heavily in pain, hesitating.

”Don't worry, as long as you tell me who the organization behind you is, I'll leave,” Ren Xiaosu said. He then pinched the spot where the sniper's arm was broken. With just two fingers, he crushed the already broken bone to pieces.

But a second later, the sniper died as soon as he opened his mouth.

Ren Xiaosu was clearly taken aback. Wasn't this the same way some Pyro Company members had died? As long as the person displayed any sign of treachery, they would die.

Was it the Pyro Company that had Jiang Xu killed? But the Pyro Company was clearly in dire straits.

No, wait! Ren Xiaosu drew his black saber and cut open the sniper's chest. He saw a black worm wrapped tightly around the sniper's heart.

When Ren Xiaosu saw this, he was disgusted.

But just as Ren Xiaosu was about to use the black saber to cut off the worm, it turned into a black ball of energy and dissipated.

This was the power of a superhuman used to control agent suicides!

For some reason, Ren Xiaosu felt a little relieved when he realized this was not the Pyro Company's doing. After all, those people had just risked their lives to fight the expeditionary army.

Just which organization was it then? Why had he never heard of the existence of such a superhuman?

Oh, right. How could a superhuman who used such underhanded methods be exposed to the public?

Ren Xiaosu got up and looked down from the rooftop. When he saw that the black-clothed hitmen were about to arrive below the building, he picked up the sniper rifle on the rooftop and killed four of the nearest hitmen in succession. After that, he proceeded down the stairwell calmly.

As gunshots continued to ring out in Luoyang City, all of the Luoyang City residents knew that the repercussions from Jiang Xu's death were not over yet. Rather, it was just beginning.

At the very least, revenge was only just beginning for Ren Xiaosu.

This time, he did not use ”Old Xu” or any other of his powers to prevent identification of himself.

He hid his identity not because he was afraid someone would seek revenge on him; rather, he was worried the appearance of White Mask would scare his pursuers away.

Now that he had attracted everyone's attention with the sound of the sniper rifle, he calmly faced the impending encirclement and danger so he could kill them all.

It would be too troublesome to finish them off one by one, so he wanted to let these people attack him all together.

The sky was a gloomy gray, just like Ren Xiaosu's mood.

There were no lights inside the building. As he went down the stairwell, only some faint light shone in through the windows few and far between.

Ren Xiaosu traversed through the light and shadow, his black rain poncho swaying like a cloak. The light and darkness cycled through within his eyes, with his nose bridge being the boundary that separated them. It was as though the light and darkness in his heart were rapidly interweaving.

The moment he walked out of the building, a hitman sticking close to the exterior wall in ambush prepared to shoot.
