Night.
Tonight, the clouds were heavy, blocking out the moonlight, making the environment particularly dim.
As luck would have it, even the streetlights were unusually dim, perhaps due to years of disrepair, and the yellowing lights would occasionally flicker off for a moment.
Qin Jie, wearing a casual tracksuit with his hood up, walked silently along the dark street.
Carrying equipment is not allowed in the real world, but passive skills are not prohibited.
That is to say, the passive skill Blood Fate will not be disabled.
Current Blood Luck: 173 points.
This was his Blood Luck; just a moment ago, his original 190 points of Blood Luck had dropped to 173 points.
Blood Luck allows his fate to follow the path he desires, which means that perhaps the fugitive murderer is already right beside Qin Jie.
Qin Jie was currently outside a convenience store; the street was deserted, with only a few scattered pedestrians.
There was a young woman, heavily made up, smoking a cigarette, leaning against a streetlight and playing on her phone.
There was a middle-aged office worker in a suit and tie, with a humble expression, talking on the phone.
There was a thin, short young man wearing a baseball cap, his face obscured.
Inside the convenience store, there was also a slightly overweight convenience store clerk, staring blankly.
There were no customers in the convenience store at the moment, which meant that the lurking murderer was very likely among these four people.
If he acted rashly, he would probably alert the murderer.
Blood Luck allows Qin Jie's desired events to occur, but it consumes Blood Luck based on the probability of the event happening. This means that if Blood Luck reaches a certain number of points, Qin Jiemight be able to wish for his enemy to die instantly, in a manner similar to 'Final Destination'.
173 points, this is a very high value.
Qin Jie looked at the four people, his eyes narrowing, and thought to himself.
It would be great if that rapist and murderer would raise his left hand.
Blood Luck dropped again, coming to 150 points.
After Blood Luck dropped, Qin Jie's gaze was fixed on the movements of these few people.
Soon, Qin Jie noticed that among the four, the heavily made-up woman suddenly raised her left hand, then casually scratched her hair, and continued playing on her phone.
A woman?
This was counter-intuitive; to be honest, given the suspect's identity as a rapist and murderer, Qin Jie would not immediately imagine a woman.
This couldn't help but make him inwardly curse his carelessness. Sun Baihe had already mentioned to him that this culprit was very likely a Contractor, someone from the "Paradise."
What kind of perverts aren't there in Paradise? Is a female rapist really that rare?
Without hesitation, Qin Jie pulled down his hood and advanced like an ordinary passerby.
His baggy clothes concealed his figure; Qin Jie looked no different from a passerby. It was only as he approached the woman that Qin Jie's Killing Intent manifested in an instant.
"Sizzle!"
The aging streetlight went out; this was quite reasonable.
Blood Luck dropped another 5 points, and the surrounding environment instantly plunged into darkness. However, because the streetlight had gone out before, it did not attract the attention of others.
And Qin Jie made his move in that instant.
The dagger in his hand instantly pierced her right chest. The woman immediately realized something was wrong, and using the reflection from her phone, she saw the dagger in Qin Jie's hand.
But it was already too late.
"Pfft!"
Qin Jie pierced her heart.
This strike was almost a one-hit kill. Due to the dim surrounding light, the opponent had not been on guard against Qin Jie at first.
Now, the dagger had already pierced her heart, and the immense force embedded her body into the streetlight pole behind her, making a loud thud. The streetlight pole was twisted and emitted a shower of sparks.
"What was that noise?"
In the darkness, someone muttered.
"Clatter."
The woman's phone fell to the ground, and as luck would have it, the screen faced down. The only source of light had now disappeared.
The woman's heart was located in her right chest. Due to the presence of Slaughter Specialization LV10, Qin Jie instantly identified her fatal spot; her heart was on the opposite side.
With her heart pierced, the woman clearly realized what had happened, but Qin Jie's other hand was not idle. He abruptly covered her mouth and nose, then twisted the dagger in his hand.
A Contractor's physical fitness is extraordinary; even with a pierced heart, they would retain one to two minutes of resistance.
However, because Slaughter Specialization provides additional damage bonuses when attacking vital points, the woman instantly lost all ability to resist the moment her heart was pierced. Her body immediately went limp, her eyes showing disbelief, followed by the fear of death.
Qin Jie's other hand had already gripped her neck. Based on the muscle strength feedback from his touch, Qin Jie had already confirmed that she was not an ordinary person, but a genuine Contractor.
Thanks to the existence of Slaughter Specialization LV10, otherwise Qin Jie might not have been able to wound her heart on the first try.
Because the dagger was sharp enough, blood didn't even spray out immediately. After breaking her throat, Qin Jie left the dagger in her chest.
Anyway, he had gloves, so he didn't have to worry about leaving fingerprints. Pulling out the dagger would only get blood on himself, causing unnecessary trouble.
Of course, even if he left fingerprints, Qin Jie would have a way to get away when the police found him, but that would only provide unnecessary trouble for his life.
"Sizzle."
The streetlight flickered back on. The office worker was still on the phone, the clerk was still staring blankly, and only the young man with the baseball cap by the road let out an inhuman scream.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"A person... a dead person!"
Under the illumination of the streetlight, the voluptuous woman leaned against the twisted streetlight pole. A dagger was stuck in her chest. As her body slowly collapsed to the ground, the dagger also fell out, and a large amount of blood then gushed out.
And Qin Jie had long since vanished.
--- After contacting Sun Baihe to deal with the body, Qin Jie arrived at his doorstep.
Taking out his key, Qin Jie opened the door.
"Click."
Opening the door, a fragrant smell wafted out, and he saw Li Xiaoyucooking instant noodles in the kitchen.
Upon seeing Qin Jie walk in, Li Xiaoyu's face froze slightly.
"Brother, why are you back so quickly?"
Qin Jie rubbed his temples as if he had a headache, and glanced at Li Xiaoyu, "How can you eat instant noodles when you have a cold? Didn't I leave you food in the fridge?"
Li Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue. To be honest, not eating junk food for a long time always makes one a little craving.
But since it was already cooked, throwing it away naturally wasn't appropriate. Qin Jie could only sigh and look at the spicy noodles in the pot.
"Wait. I'll fry you two eggs later. Really, how can you just eat noodles? You don't even think about supplementing your nutrition."
Qin Jie grumbled, then started the stove and heated oil to fry eggs in a pan.
"Oh."
Li Xiaoyu nodded obediently, her gaze lingering for a moment on a barely perceptible bloodstain on Qin Jie's clothes, then she left.
Like Qin Jie, Li Xiaoyu also didn't want her current life to be disrupted. Although she knew her brother seemed to be involved in some kind of incident, Li Xiaoyu would also not expose it.
Neither of these siblings wanted their peaceful life to be disturbed, even if that peace seemed a bit strange in the eyes of others.
