Who plays who
At this moment, Guo Yi's heart suddenly calmed down. He still didn't know why Quan Qi broke free from the rope or why she was so confident. He also didn't know how many people had arrived outside. None of these things mattered now; what mattered was what to do next!
He grasped the pistol in his pocket and shifted his body sideways, aiming the muzzle at the door.
The door creaked open with a groan, and a man in black appeared at the entrance.
Kuo Yeh and Quan Qi were both shocked, and they exclaimed in unison:
"It's you!"
The person who came was actually Leng Qingfeng, also known as Long Jiu, the one that Quan Qi was looking for!
Leng Qingfeng glared at Guo Yao with a fierce gaze, then walked straight towards Quan Qi. Guo Yao looked around and saw that there was no one else, the stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground. Although Leng Qingfeng was also a dangerous person, he had been with her for a period of time after all. She was indeed very cruel to him, but she hadn't hurt him in the end.
"What are you doing here?"
The dog's seven voices trembled again, this time she was really scared. Compared to Guo Yi, a rookie-level opponent, Long Jiu was an absolutely terrifying existence.
Leng Qingfeng didn't say a word, lifted his leg and swept it horizontally like lightning, and Quan Qi, whose feet were still tied to the table legs, had no chance to dodge and was kicked heavily back onto the supply table. Leng Qingfeng flipped his wrist, and a MadDog ATAK tactical assault knife accurately pressed against Quan Qi's neck.
The dog's eyes widened and it let out a hoarse cry:
"Long Jiu, how can you be so ungrateful? The boss has been good to you, but you've forgotten his kindness and betrayed him. He'll never let you off the hook!"
Long Jiu coldly laughed and said:
"What kindness? Has the boss ever shown us any kindness? Alright, we were all raised by the boss's family, they provided us with our best clothes and food, sent us to the best schools, spared no expense in training us... but why did they do this? All they wanted was a group of machines that could carry out their every command! We don't know our own names, we don't know our own parents. From the moment we were aware, we were taught to obey all orders, to sacrifice our bodies and lives for the boss..."
A glint of tears appeared in Long Jiu's cold eyes, and he suddenly roared:
"I don't want to live this kind of life, I am a human being, not a machine!"
Guo Yi suddenly remembered the look of Leng Qingfeng calling out to her father when she was ill, perhaps that was the sweetest dream at that time. Looking at the excited Leng Qingfeng, Guo Yi felt a pang of sympathy in his heart.
The dog gnashed its teeth and said:
"Even if what you said is right, so what? That's for others, the boss didn't let you carry out the task, do you know how much he likes you? You know what the consequences of betrayal are - cutting off limbs, men thrown into an anthill, women abandoned to overseas prostitution organizations for perverts to enjoy! But after you escaped, the boss just had someone bring you back and strictly ordered not to harm you! The boss really treats you kindly!"
"Hmph, he has many people he likes, and he's very good to the people he likes. It's so good that it makes many women jealous. But, how many women does he have? I'm afraid even he himself isn't clear about that. He wants to get me because of that conquering feeling. I don't want to be a wild horse conquered by someone else. If there's going to be any conquering, it'll be me conquering others. Alright, I've said enough for today. You can leave now!"
Kuai Ye was sweating profusely on the side, what kind of people are these! This can't be blamed on Kuai Ye, he's just an ordinary person, someone who has never even been involved in the underworld, and has never had a proper romantic relationship. Born and raised in the new society under the red flag, how could he have encountered such things?
The dog coldly smiled and said:
"Can you still walk? My signal has been sent out for half an hour, they should have surrounded this place by now. You can't escape, let me go, maybe I can still give you a way to survive, otherwise, hum!"
Leng Qingfeng suddenly smiled and pointed at Guo Yi, saying to Quan Qi:
"Do you know why you can't even handle a rookie?"
Leng Qingfeng suddenly smiled and pointed at Guo Yi, saying to Quan Qi:
"You know why you can't even handle a rookie? Because you underestimate your opponents! Your people will never come, because they're all dead!"
"Hah, you think I'm a fool? I was in contact with them just today, and it's impossible for one person to kill them all off in just one day!"
Leng Qingfeng's strange smile said:
"I just said you're underestimating me, how did you know I'm alone?"
"You——"
The dog seven suddenly despaired, she understood dragon nine, her heart was ruthless and cruel, but she never lied! In fact, she didn't really understand dragon nine at all, because this cold girl had already told a lie at least once, and in front of many people.
Leng Qingfeng suddenly raised the knife in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he cut open the ropes binding Quan Qi's legs. Guo Yao jumped in fright and exclaimed in surprise:
"What are you doing?"
Leng Qingfeng ignored him and handed the tactical assault knife in his hand to Quan Qi, pointing at Guo Yao.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance, as long as you can kill this rookie, I'll let you go!"
Kuo Yeh is stunned!
The dog seven didn't ask why. Whether Long Jiu's words were true or false, she had to make a gamble, at least there was still a chance. As long as there was a chance, she would go all out to fight for it! She straightened her body, and the curved body suddenly straightened up, the unobstructed snow-capped mountains shook violently, the knife in her hand spun around, changing to a reverse grip, she took a step forward, swung her arm, and the war knife flashed towards Guo Yao who had not yet reacted from his shock!
He stared blankly at Qingfeng, seemingly oblivious to the war knife that was slicing through the air under the lamp light, heading straight for his throat. His eyes were filled with shock and astonishment.
Leng Qingfeng was also watching him, his shiny black eyes devoid of any emotion. At this moment of life and death, the two of them didn't even glance at the God of Death who was about to reap their lives!
The dog, Qi Xi, saw Guo Yao standing still and felt a surge of joy in her heart. Although she knew that Guo Yao was a clumsy novice, she still feared his strange ability to absorb heat, and was even more wary of any hidden attacks he might have. As long as Guo Yao died, it would be too late for Long Jiu to regret it, and she would still have the opportunity to escape. At this moment, she had at least three plans in her mind to rush out of the temple, and each plan involved getting rid of the novice blocking the door first.
Night, extremely quiet!
A sword, with a sound that shatters the air!
Kuo Yi doesn't move!
The cold cyan frost doesn't move!
How long is an instant?
Guo Yi even felt the sharpness of the knife's edge, but he didn't bat an eye, his gaze fixed only on Leng Qingfeng!
The knife has finally arrived!
However, Qiān Qī suddenly fell down!
Leng Qingfeng glared at Guo Yao, her hand somehow holding a pistol with a silencer. But Guo Yao just laughed, laughing very happily, he said:
"What you just said really hurt me, I have to know why you did that!"
Leng Qing said with a cold and frosty tone:
"Why did I do this? I just wanted her to kill you!"
"You won't be able to, you want to kill me doesn't need to bother others, and you seem to have no reason to kill me!"
Leng Qingfeng continued staring at him for a while before speaking:
"Aren't you afraid that I won't save you, or that I'll be too late to save you? You know, just now it was only a fraction of a second, and your throat would have been cut open! Aren't you afraid of death at all? This really doesn't seem like you!"
Kuo Yi smiled and said:
"I didn't think you really understood me!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a gun from his pocket. Although he had been staring at Leng Qingfeng just now, the muzzle of the gun was actually pointing at Quan Qi. The reason why he didn't pull the trigger was to see if Leng Qingfeng would remain unmoved even when seeing him being killed!
Although fallen but not dead, Inu no Taizai heard clearly, only to realize that his life and death had been in the hands of these two people all along. Killing them and escaping was just an unrealistic dream after all. She struggled and angrily said:
"You - you're so reluctant to let me go, yet you make me take action? You - are you playing with me?"
Leng Qingfeng didn't look at her, but instead looked at Guo Yao and hummed:
"Sly fool, then you know why I let her kill you!"
