Chapter 397 Puzzling (1/2)
He escaped?!
Lin Huang looked at the place where the black-robed person disappeared while replaying the scene of him performing the hand seals. It was probably a unique escape skill.
”Lin Xin!”
His crimson red eyes faded away as he contacted Tyrant with his mind. He was relieved as Lin Xin had not encountered the attack that he did.
”Let's go back to the place where the person first attacked me.” Lin Huang patted the Viridescent Thunderhawk's back.
The Viridescent Thunderhawk flapped its wings and turned in an arc as it headed to the library. As soon as it landed, a shadow interrupted them. Lin Huang looked closely. It was the dean, Liu Ming.
”Brother, were you the one fighting just now?” Liu Ming immediately asked when he saw Lin Huang.
”A black-robed person attacked me but ran away.” Lin Huang hopped from the Viridescent Thunderhawk's back and nodded to Liu Ming. The battle had seemed intense, but it only lasted less than 20 seconds.
”Is this a holy fire-level summon?” Liu Ming was shocked to see the Viridescent Thunderhawk.
”Yes.” Lin Huang then recalled the Viridescent Thunderhawk.
”Are you alright?” Liu Ming asked immediately. As a huge fan of Mr. Fu fan, he was protective of Lin Huang.
”I'm alright.”
Soon, several shadows arrived. They were Transcendents who were nearby. They came here as soon as they heard the gunshots and sensed the energy wave. Liu Ming approached them and explained while Lin Huang looked for the weapon that the black-robed person had used to attack him. He could sense that it was something tiny, but he had no idea what that was.
A while later, he found a hole the size of a thumb in a field nearby. There was residue that was similar to the black mist on the attacker's body. Lin Huang coated his right hand with Life Power and reached into the hole. He found a needle that was two centimeters long with the thickness of a strand of hair. It was completely black with black Life Power remaining on its surface. Although the black Life Power was insignificant, Lin Huang could sense that the Life Power on his finger was being destroyed by a unique force. However, as it was decomposing his Life Power, the black Life Power was intensifying. Before Lin Huang could store it, the black Life Power surrounding the needle disappeared within one or two seconds.
”Is this the weapon that the person used to attack you?” Liu Ming appeared next to Lin Huang and looked the black needle in his hand.
”Looking at the size and color as well as the ability to hide its appearance, this could definitely kill anyone without even making a sound. Such an evil weapon looks like it belongs to a professional a.s.sa.s.sin. Brother, did you offend anyone recently?”
”I've offended quite some people…”
”Do you have any clue about anyone who might want to do such a thing?” Liu Ming asked.
”I have a few suspects, but I can't be sure.” Lin Huang shook his head.
”Do you need my help?” Liu Ming asked in all seriousness.
”Not at the moment. I think I can solve it myself. If I can't, I'll have to trouble you.” Lin Huang would usually handle things by himself instead of asking for help. He knew that he would have to repay people in some way if he asked for help.
”Alright then, be careful. Usually, a professional a.s.sa.s.sin won't give up on their target so easily. Find out the person responsible for this as soon as possible. The longer you drag this matter, the more dangerous it'll be for you. After all, they're in the dark while you're in the light,” Liu Ming reminded.
”Yes, I understand.” Lin Huang nodded.
”I'll get someone to fix this tomorrow. Don't worry about it and get going,” Liu Ming said as he looked at the lamp posts that were broken.
After Liu Ming left, Lin Huang looked around nearby and headed back to the dorm as he did not find anything.
”Brother, were you fighting just now? I heard gunshots,” Lin Xin asked in concern when she saw Lin Huang came back. She had heard the gunshots soon after Lin Huang left the dorm, so she thought he might be fighting.
