Chapter 250: Truly An Assassination Master Skill!
“Little brother?” Zheng Chaoyang touched the big beard he had specially stuck on, looking at him with a speechless expression.
You, an eighteen-year-old young man, calling me, a full-faced bearded man, little brother?
“Cough cough, just teasing you, why take it so seriously, come, drink some water.”
“Tell me, what do you need me for?”
Cao Weida took out the map given to him by Ono Shiota and a piece of paper from his pocket and handed them over: “I can’t meet Old Luo often, give this to him and tell him things are looking promising, we can take action the day after tomorrow.”
“I’ve written the specifics on the paper, tell him to make sure it’s done perfectly.”
Zheng Chaoyang’s heart skipped a beat, knowing it must be some major operation, he didn’t dare slack off and nodded in agreement: “Alright, I’ll go notify him now.”
After leaving the teahouse, Zheng Chaoyang rode a rickshaw wandering around aimlessly, switching rickshaws three times midway, and only got off a street away from Ruixin General Store after confirming no one was tailing him.
He turned left and right to arrive at Ruixin General Store, “Shopkeeper, do you have any Shaoxing Rice Wine here?”
Hearing the familiar voice and special code, Old Luo immediately smiled and responded: “Shaoxing Rice Wine is hard to come by, how about Tianjin’s rose dew wine, unique flavor, top-notch aroma and taste!”
“What a shame, our old master loves this stuff, he can’t stomach anything but Shaoxing Rice Wine, can the shopkeeper think of something?”
“I remember now, I have a bit of my private stash upstairs, come, I’ll take you to get it.”
After matching the code, the two went upstairs.
Once in the room, Zheng Chaoyang didn’t waste words, directly took out those items, and relayed Cao Weida’s words.
Old Luo unfolded the paper and read it, silent for a moment after finishing, then nodded:
“Alright, got it.”
“In a while, move near Comrade Cao Weida’s place.”
That night, Cao Weida in night-walking clothes slipped out quietly.
One day is ten slacking points, Cao Weida who had already lost a day really couldn’t bear to lose more.
Beiping City at night was exceptionally desolate, watching teams of fully armed patrol squads, Cao Weida carefully avoided them, picking a direction to sneak forward quietly.
The evening patrol teams were indeed much more numerous than before, and each team was equipped with a light machine gun, with distances between patrol teams not too far.
If one patrol team was attacked, nearby teams would immediately provide support.
Sneaking Cao Weida sneered inwardly,
If it were before, Cao Weida really wouldn’t know how to deal with it, firing in the quiet night made too much noise.
But now it’s different, with the Azure Nether Soul Lock skill, he could silently kill the little devils, and they wouldn’t even find a hair of his!
After sneaking a good distance, he stealthily crouched on a rooftop, embroidery needle already pinched in his fingers.
“Behold my Storm Pear Blossom Needle!”
Skill: Azure Nether Soul Lock, Divine Hand activated!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
Fifty meters away, a patrol squad marched forward with vigilant eyes, their Type 38 rifles not slung over shoulders but held ready, fingers near the triggers.
Normally, in such a vigilant state, even a sudden attack would allow quick reaction and immediate counterattack.
Unfortunately, they ran into the unreasonable Cao Weida!
The squad was marching when the last few little devils suddenly ‘thudded’ and collapsed softly to the ground.
The little devils in front turned back in doubt, and in that moment of turning, a few more little devils suddenly lost all strength and fell down.
The ones at the very front were stunned, the leading sergeant even more furious, thinking they were slacking, immediately cursing: “Baka! What are you doing! Get up now!”
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he suddenly noticed his men who had just been standing also collapsed to the ground as if drained of strength.
The sergeant felt a chill rush from his soles straight to the top of his head.
Even if he were stupid, he realized something was wrong.
But what terrified him was, clearly nothing happened around them, so why had all his soldiers collapsed?
Poison in the food?
But that didn’t make sense, he ate the same food, why was he fine?
Could it be… a ghost?!
At that thought, cold sweat broke out on his back.
Amaterasu above, this place isn’t haunted, is it?!
Before his legs could go weak and cry out, his temple suddenly felt cold, then his entire thinking stopped.
In the moment before closing his eyes, he saw a black shadow leap over from the opposite rooftop like a nimble ape.
There really is something unclean!!
With his last thought, the sergeant ‘thudded’ to the ground and went still.
The leaping black shadow was naturally none other than Cao Weida.
He ran to the corpses, checked the wounds, and saw a small hole at each little devil soldier’s temple, with thin trickles of fresh blood slowly seeping out.
Not much blood, flowing slowly, and stopping after just a little.
“Nice effect.”
Seeing this result, Cao Weida nodded satisfiedly, the twenty-man patrol squad from his strike to all little devil patrol soldiers killed took less than two seconds, with Divine Hand aiding Azure Nether Soul Lock, it was practically like a machine gun!
Truly the divine skill among assassination arts!
With a wave of his hand, he stored the corpses into the space, patted his butt, and headed straight back.
Today’s KPI completed, time for a pleasant good sleep!
The next day, Cao Weida in a good mood went to the police station to clock in, then wandered around all day.
Unlike Cao Weida’s good mood, Tateishi Yihua, captain of the third squad of the first battalion of the infantry regiment stationed in Beiping, was not so relaxed.
Their garrison, at the request of Beiping Gendarmerie Headquarters, was assisting with night patrols and curfew management.
The previous day had been calm, but after last night’s patrol, during today’s assembly, he discovered one of his squads, including the sergeant, a full 20 men, all missing!
This enraged him greatly, he quickly pulled up the patrol streets of that squad from last night, took men to search and inquire everywhere, but the results disappointed him, the soldiers seemed to vanish into thin air, no trace at all.
He then gathered all patrol teams not far from that unit last night and asked if they heard any noise.
The results still greatly disappointed him, nothing happened last night.
And precisely because nothing happened, it chilled him the most.
Since nothing happened, where did his twenty soldiers go?
They couldn’t have vanished into thin air!!
Tateishi Yihua didn’t dare slack, immediately reported the situation upward.
The lieutenant squadron leader who got the news didn’t dare decide on his own, could only report upward.
Finally, after layers of reporting, the news reached battalion commander Zhan Tai Bo Neng, major.
Zhan Tai Bo Neng took it very seriously, personally led men to check, and investigated the surroundings of the missing patrol team.
But still found nothing, this eerie event made him vaguely uneasy.
So, he immediately ran to Gendarmerie Headquarters to find Officer Miyamoto, explained the matter.
Officer Miyamoto hearing twenty soldiers vanished without cause was also shocked.
This abnormal phenomenon made him involuntarily think of previous events, he muttered: “Could that mysterious person have started operating again?!”
“Mysterious person? What mysterious person?!” Zhan Tai Bo Neng keenly caught the key point, his face darkening:
“Officer Miyamoto, are you hiding something from me?”
“Nothing, you misheard.” Officer Miyamoto denied flatly, this was Beiping’s scandal, he didn’t want to tell outsiders.
Zhan Tai Bo Neng was sure Officer Miyamoto was concealing from him, but despite repeated pressing, Officer Miyamoto insisted he misheard and refused to answer, igniting fury in his heart yet he dared not vent.
Because Officer Miyamoto’s position and rank were much higher, if he didn’t want to say, there was no way to make him talk.
Finally, Officer Miyamoto just replied ‘I’ll send people to assist your investigation’ and dismissed him.
Back at the garrison, Zhan Tai Bo Neng frowned tightly, called a subordinate and ordered:
“During evening patrols, if anything unusual, immediately fire warning shots!”
“Also, investigate a person called ‘mysterious person’!”
That evening, Cao Weida went out again, originally planning to go far to kill, but thought better and changed mind, going to a nearby street to wait like guarding a stump for rabbits.
Previously when killing, he subconsciously went farther from home, but he suddenly realized that was wrong.
Criminals often have such subconscious actions, but precisely such unconscious behavior exposes their general location.
Soon, a little devil patrol squad appeared not far away.
Compared to last night, today’s little devils were clearly more alert.
Each one scanning around with highly vigilant eyes, fingers directly on the triggers.
“Looks like one patrol team missing last night alerted these little devil soldiers.”
Cao Weida pondered, but wasn’t afraid, twenty men, the moment they entered his 100-meter range, their lives were no longer their own.
Just about to act, but suddenly paused, eyes flashing mischief, gaze locking on a cat crouching on the city wall in the distance.
Casually picked up a fingernail-sized pebble, used a special qi channeling technique to flick it out.
The pebble under night cover silently struck the tabby cat’s butt.
The next second.
“Meow~~!! Hiss!!!”
Rustle rustle~~
