Chapter Thirty-Nine The greater the disappointment, the greater the surprise
My new book finally made it to the front page, but the link is broken, what a crash... seeking comfort with recommendation tickets.
Kill someone and leave, the body is abandoned on the side of the road without any disguise. At first glance, this behavior seems quite rough and handled too hastily, leaving behind many hidden dangers.
It was actually not the case, this was the best way for Guo Zhengyang to quickly think and judge when he discovered that clue.
Because he is now only in the initial stage of gathering spirits, he is only handy with his hands and feet, but has no spiritual awareness, and cannot operate the cultivator's techniques. Even if he kills someone, he can only deal with the corpse manually.
Since it's manual, then it's better not to process it at all.
Because manual handling requires back-and-forth transportation of the body at night, no matter where the body is moved from or to, it's very likely to leave behind flaws, such as fibers from one's own clothes, fingerprints, or even dandruff that could be used as evidence. This can be prevented, but he may not be able to do so flawlessly, after all, his current abilities are only superior in terms of physical skill compared to ordinary people, and various methods are still within the realm of ordinary people, while modern science is too advanced.
So directly ambush on the roadside, kill the target and then escape far away, in the process he doesn't need to touch the target at all, this is the safest way.
This approach, even if the police find the body and start investigating, they can't investigate at all. There are no surveillance facilities in this area, no pedestrians, and Guo Zhengyang also made a cover-up. After killing someone, whether it's the body or He Laoshi's car, he didn't touch anything from head to toe. No matter how the police define it as revenge or crime of passion, they will basically look for the killer in He Laoshi's circle of contacts. However, Guo Zhengyang had no connection with this person before today, and their lives were completely unrelated. Moreover, after killing someone, he, the real culprit, would be far away from Qingyuan City, hiding in a high school in a county town tens of kilometers away.
Even if all the police in Qingyuan City were geniuses like Sherlock Holmes, it's unlikely that they could link him to the murderer.
This way is most beneficial for Guo Zhengyang.
Otherwise, if other means are chosen, such as following He Laoshi back to the villa? There is no way for Guo Zhengyang to judge whether there are monitoring facilities in the villa. If so, it would be extremely bad, and even if he entered the villa, Guo Zhengyang would easily leave evidence if he killed someone indoors.
Or what if there are other people in Mr. He's villa when he goes back?
And even if he followed him back to the villa to hunt and kill, after killing the target, he still couldn't handle the body properly. Without real fire to destroy the evidence, handling the body was just some routine methods, such as digging a hole and burying it, or hiding it... But these methods, with modern scientific technology, are easy to track down clues.
The means at hand, killing someone on the roadside and then fleeing immediately, seems rough and unadorned, but is actually the most efficient way to confuse vision and attention.
He was hanging behind Mr. He's body for hundreds or thousands of meters from head to toe, never getting close, the hunting process took only a few seconds, killing and then leaving, from head to toe without even touching the opponent once, just shooting out a sharp blade that pierced Mr. He's throat, this almost perfect assassination, whether it was efficiency or concealment, made Guo Zhengyang very satisfied, if he could still be tracked down like this, he could only say that it was his own bad luck, and not because he did things hastily.
"Ah, I've arrived."
An hour or two later, when Guo Zhengyang walked back to the high school, looking at most of the campus plunged into darkness, Guo Zhengyang was overjoyed. He had left the campus at 2 pm this afternoon and only returned now, which was a long enough time to be out, but it was also good that he was back now.
The evening self-study session had already been dismissed, and he went to the classroom alone, which was just right for quietly refining that strand of newly acquired guilt.
Although there should be some top students studying in the classroom at this time, those people were all sitting in the front row of the classroom, and they were not close to him. They had no intersection with each other in daily life, so it was completely fine for him to hide alone in the corner of the back row and secretly revise his notes.
Just for a moment, until Guo Zhengyang sat down in his own seat and looked at the distant figures studying seriously in front of him, he immediately began to refine the guilt within his body.
This time, he still forced all the guilt into his left hand. After going through a process similar to last time, Guo Zhengyang suddenly stood up, clenched his fist, and clearly felt the surging power in his left hand.
Of course, it was just that the strength was not enough. When Guo Zhengyang sat down again and took out a small knife that had been swallowed by a gourd to cut towards his left hand, he was thoroughly frightened.
"It can't be cut off, and it has tempered some new guilt. Now this left hand is a divine weapon that can't be cut off even with a sharp blade. This hardness is so strong that it might even be able to block bullets."
He first obtained the sin, and after refining all the sins into his left hand, his left hand had become invulnerable to ordinary cold weapons such as knives and guns. However, this only referred to ordinary cold weapons, if someone's strength was a bit greater, for example, Guo Zhengyang's brute force holding an ordinary sharp object to stab, could still pierce through, or if it was an ordinary knife that had been swallowed by the twisted gourd, it could also easily pierce his palm.
But this time again refined new guilt, and continued to refine the left hand on one side.
It's just that the divine soldiers transformed by the crooked gourd couldn't even pierce the skin on his left hand, and the strength used by Guo Zhengyang during the experiment had already exceeded the full strength of an ordinary person.
He was very pleased with this result.
It's true, the guilt is good and all, but the amount of guilt gained from killing a target once is just too little. It can only be seen to have an effect if I refine my left hand, but if I were to apply it to my entire body, the effect would likely be negligible. In that case, it's better to specialize in one area.
If he continues to temper his left hand with dark energy, it's possible that in the end, this left hand of his might become even more terrifying than an ordinary spiritual artifact.
Sitting in his seat, Guo Zhengyang studied his left hand again and again, and the final result was very satisfactory. This left hand is no longer invincible, if he grasped the twisted gourd swallowing knife with all his might to stab, it could also pierce through his left hand, but thinking about it, if he swallowed a few more times of sin, it would really be comparable to a spiritual instrument.
After settling these, Guo Zhengyang began to ponder again. This time, after hunting down that scum, what kind of opportunity would he seize? However, until now, the idea in his mind had not given him any hint, indicating that the opportunity should not have arrived yet. It was just like last time when he hunted down that kidnapper and it took more than ten hours for the idea to guide him to harvest the heavenly machine.
It seems that the time when Guo Zhengyang obtained Tianji, should also be the time when those target characters encountered Tianji. He killed the target, which is equivalent to replacing the target at the same point in time. Since his intention has not moved now, he can only wait slowly.
"Let's seize the time to study, today wasted so much time again, this time, even if it means losing a night's sleep, I must make up for it." After thinking about it, Guo Zhengyang quickly picked up his book and started reading again. Today's hunt went smoothly for the most part, but the biggest unexpected event was running into his father while skipping class. This first meeting with his father after rebirth was a huge disappointment, and Guo Zhengyang still felt a bit heartbroken thinking about it now.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Guo Zhengyang was really impressed by this sentence, but on the other hand, his father is now full of disappointment in him. However, if he can once again come up with a surprise that exceeds his expectations, then perhaps the greater the disappointment, the greater the surprise will be too.
What a surprise! He will also try his best to strive for it!
