Chapter 26
You Dare to Kill?
Wang Qiang watched as his buddies fell one by one under the other party’s sword. At this moment, all of them were no longer breathing. He was so frightened that he kept retreating. He lost his balance and fell beside the trash can.
“How dare you kill in broad daylight? I’m calling the police!” Wang Qiang’s tone was filled with fear and forced calmness.
Du Yue’s lips curled up slightly. Without giving him a chance to speak, she cut his carotid artery. Blood spurted out immediately, and the entire sword was stained red.
Wang Qiang’s head tilted to the side, his eyes filled with disbelief and extreme fear.
He had never imagined that in this peaceful era, he would be killed by a little girl who looked so weak that she could not even truss a chicken.
Du Yue tore off Wang Qiang’s clothes and wiped her Tang sword clean. She then took out a lighter and burned the clothes into a pile of ash, scattering it in the river.
After doing this, she took her sword and walked to the van that Wang Qiang and the others had ridden in. After confirming that there was no one inside, she opened the door.
She leaned into the driver’s seat, took out the dashcam hanging in front of her, and threw it into her interspace. Then, she took down the camera and stomped it to pieces with her foot before throwing them out at the field beside her.
A disgusting smell lingered in the van. Du Yue frowned in disgust. She had no interest in what was in the van.
She did not lack money or supplies.
Du Yue took out a barrel of gasoline from her interspace and poured it on the van. She then turned on the lighter and casually threw it on the van. In an instant, the van caught on fire. She held the freshly lit cigarette in her hand and stood calmly at the side, watching the burning van.
From the beginning to the end, her actions were clean and neat without any hesitation, and there was not much of an expression on her face.
To her, who had already died once, killing a group of robbers was no different from crushing a fly.
No matter if they had been plotting for a long time or if they suddenly had ill intentions, she would not let these people leave alive. She had already given them a chance. They were on the road for a full half an hour, but the other party refused to change their minds and give up on committing the crime.
Hence, they should not blame her for being ruthless. In this world, if one was soft-hearted toward the bad guys, it was irresponsibility to oneself. If Du Yu had shown any weakness or if she had compromised today, these people would have continued to take advantage of her in the future and put her in danger.
Rather than letting that happen, it was better to strike first.
Du Yue, who had already died once, would not be soft-hearted anymore.
Seeing the van burn to ashes, Du Yue returned to her car and took out a new set of clothes from her interspace. Then, she packed the bloodstained clothes she had changed out of into a trash bag and put them into her interspace.
Just now, she had deliberately drawn this group of people to the suburbs far away from human habitation. The terrain here was open, and the surrounding 10 kilometers were all wild grass.
There were no surveillance cameras, so there was no need to worry about any witnesses. Du Yue was also sure that she had not left any traces.
Besides, she had destroyed all the evidence that she could. As for the evidence that she could not destroy by the roadside, she could only put it in her interspace. After all, her interspace was the only place that could be considered 100% safe and hidden.
Du Yue drove back to the underground parking lot of the community. She picked out some supplies from her interspace and went upstairs.
There were a lot of mosquitoes in the corridor, but the number was much less than the number outside.
Du Yue went upstairs unhurriedly and arrived at her unit door on the 16th floor in less than 10 minutes.
Du Yue had just inserted the key into the door, but before she could open the door, the door next to her was suddenly opened from the inside. A girl about her age stuck her head out from the door and asked, “Did you buy these things from the supermarket? There must be a lot of people lining up at the supermarket, right? Uhh, can I trouble you to help me buy some groceries the next time you’re out shopping? I can give you a commission! How about 50 yuan each time? What do you think?”
“I don’t think anything about it.” Du Yue coldly refused.
“Why?” The girl’s face turned cold, but she quickly put on a flattering smile. “Then bring me along the next time you drive out to buy things. We’re neighbors, so you won’t refuse to help, right?”
Du Yue did not reject her immediately this time. “Sure, the fare is 500 yuan.”
The girl’s voice changed when she heard that. “Are you so poor that you’ve gone crazy? The supermarket in the neighborhood is less than three kilometers away, yet you actually want 500 yuan as travel costs? Besides, this is a special time. Since you have a car, what’s wrong with helping a neighbor out? How can you be so cruel?”
When Du Yue heard the other party’s bold and confident question, she could not help but sneer. “I’m not your mother. Why should I help you?”
