Chapter 40
The side effects of this Recluse Mask were still acceptable.
After a while, the side effect slowly disappeared and Li Rui could finally recognize his sister’s face to pinch her cheeks.
“Why did you pinch me?”
Li Wei held her own face with both of her hands and looked at Li Rui with disdain.
“No reason, just wanted to, rua~~”
Noticing that his sister’s cheeks were becoming chubbier, Li Rui felt even happier and bit her cheek.
She was finally getting fatter! This was great!
“Ah! Why did you bite me, woof!”
Li Wei was so angry that she started barking and hugging Li Rui’s neck.
……
“Brother Rui, remember to count me in if you are going to become a bounty hunter!”
In one of the male toilets of Ming De Middle School, Huang Juncai was clinging on to Li Rui’s arms like gum.
But Li Rui’s attention was all focused on his hands as he asked a serious question.
“Did you wash your hands just now?”
“Oh I forgot~”
Huang Juncai stuck out his tongue and lightly hit his own head, trying to get out of trouble by being cute.
“AHHHHHHHH~ Brother Rui! Master! Master! My hands are about to break! Let go!~”
After a good beating, Li Rui washed his hands at the sink with a dark face while Huang Juncai stood next to him as if nothing had happened.
“Brother Rui, bring me along! My attack skills are the best!”
“No, this isn’t just a normal school competition. The bounty targets are usually cruel and wicked people. It’s too dangerous. What if there are guns?”
Li Rui estimated that once he activated the Bone Plating rune, as long as he wasn’t hit in any critical places, he should even be able to withstand a few shots from a pistol.
Plus, it was also impossible for them to allow anyone to be carrying a gun everywhere. So even in the worst situation, he could still find a way to escape.
But if he brought along this yellow-haired fellow, although his attacks were good, what if he was shot? What was Li Rui going to say to his family?
The most important thing now should be training him in the school team.
After strengthening his foundations, it still wouldn’t be too late for Li Rui to bring him along.
“I’m not scared. They won’t be as good as me even with guns! I can easily shoot a target that is 300 meters away! I’m much better than those normal snipers out there. They will already be dead before finding out where I am!”
As he noticed Li Rui starting to become convinced, Huang Juncai clung onto Li Rui’s thigh and begged like crazy.
“Brother Rui, bring me along! I really want to shoot something!”
Li Rui allowed Huang Juncai to continue wiping his tears all over his pants as he pondered for a moment before finally making a decision.
“I can bring you along, but you have to promise me that you’ll listen to me.”
“No problem! I promise to obey all of your commands!”
Huang JunCai jumped up like a spring and excitedly swore an oath.
“Then you should do this… and this…”
Li Rui whispered the details of his plans for Huang JunCai.
“Huh?”
Upon hearing Li Rui’s plans, Huang JunCai’s face was filled with disdain. He was just a backup plan!
“What’s wrong? You don’t like it? If you don’t, then you can leave!”
Li Rui was already walking away.
“No! That’s not what I meant!”
Huang JunCai held on to him and instantly denied it.
“Great, let’s go according to the plan!”
Another day passed by, and Wang Lei finally sent him the information through the terminal.
He didn’t give Li Rui any pieces of information. Instead, he gave Li Rui authority – an authority that allowed him access to all sorts of information in the database!
Noticing that the information was constantly being updated, Li Rui became speechless.
Brother Lei’s intelligence network… was one of a kind!
As he looked through the information, his face became even darker.
If you are not a doctor, you may not be able to understand human suffering.
If you are not a police officer, you may not know how evil humans can be.
If he hasn’t read through this information, Li Rui would have never known that there were so many scumbags in this world!
Upon thinking of the fact that his sister was actually living in the same city with so many crazy, wicked perverts, Li Rui couldn’t help but hold killing intentions in his heart.
He closed his eyes and slowly spat out a breath of cold air.
When he opened his eyes, there was only firm determination in his eyes.
In the beginning, his intentions were to get more gold coins, but now, his intentions had changed.
Sorting out the rubbish was everyone’s responsibility.
Let him be the one to take care of these disgusting, harmful garbage!
………
In the dark corners of any big city, there lies evil hiding in places that are invisible to ordinary people.
With the neon light shining, those ugly faces reflected a strange looking picture.
Xu TongFang was leaning against the wall and swaying while walking toward his house.
“Burp~ tonight was great! I will come back in the future.”
As he took another sip of beer, Xu TongFang’s footsteps became even more unstable.
“Hehe, if they knew what I have done, would they still dare to play with me?!”
He seemed to have thought of something funny and was grinning with his eyes turning red with excitement.
Suddenly, he noticed that there was a man standing on the opposite end of the alley like a sculpture.
The light that shone from behind him hid his face, and Xu TongFang couldn’t see his features clearly. It felt as if there was a strange shadow flowing around him, and he was giving out an invisible oppressive feeling.
All of a sudden, Xu TongFang felt a cold stare sweeping across him like blades passing through him.
He had goosebumps all over his body. He trembled and was instantly awake.
He became even more alert as he continued walking forward, pretending as if nothing were wrong.
As he got closer, Xu TongFang finally saw the man’s face.
A common square face that had no special features.
As they were about two meters away from each other, the man who was blocking the alley finally spoke.
“Xu Qiang?”
It was like a bolt from the blue. Xu TongFang held his breath. He had been traveling around the country without using his real name. He hadn’t thought that he would still be recognized!
His real name had been called out, which meant that he had no other choice. He threw the beer bottle in his hand toward the man’s head and starting running.
Snap!
Li Rui who was wearing the Recluse Mask caught the bottle with one hand and threw it toward Xu TongFang’s direction.
Boom!
The beer bottle flew back towards Xu TongFang at a speed several times faster, and with the sound of a collision, Xu TongFang fell to the ground. The half-filled bottle held horrifying energy which had instantly broken one of his ribs from the back.
“AHHHHHHH~”
Xu TongFang yelled in pain as he turned around and was fearfully looked at Li Rui who was heading toward his direction.
He struggled while trying to move backward, but soon, a cold rubbish bin blocked his only way out.
“Two years ago, from August 17th to December 9th, you committed 13 robberies, and in the following year, you robbed, raped, and killed 16 women. All of the evidence is conclusive. Is there anything that you wish to say?”
“I surrender, I’m guilty… but I didn’t mean it…”
Regardless of if it was out of pain or fear, Xu Tongfang was already crying on the ground.
