I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1318: Go for it, Don’t Be a Coward
Chapter 1318: Chapter 1318: Go for it, Don’t Be a Coward
The moment you pushed open the door to the room, you instantly felt a murderous aura. Instinctively, you crouched down, only to sense two scorching beams of light sweeping over your head.
"Qin’er!"
Your foremost concern was Pang Qin’s safety. Just as an enemy inside pulled the trigger, you had already dodged and appeared before him.
"Die!"
Without a shred of mercy, when confronting enemies, your mind was always filled with bloodlust. This had been your standard modus operandi ever since entering the game—you never showed any leniency to enemies. There were three assassins in the room; in an instant, you eliminated two of them. The last one didn’t even have the chance to blink before you shattered the bones in his hand with a single punch.
"Talk! What did you do to my friend?" You grabbed the man and stared at him with an unrelenting, ferocious glare.
"I... I don’t know. The house was already empty when we got here."
"The truth?" Your right hand gripped the man’s head tightly, your eyes gleaming with cold light.
"I’m not lying to you. Our employer only knew you lived here. He wasn’t aware of any other details. When we arrived, your woman was already gone." The man appeared utterly terrified, his speech faster than that of a typical person. At this moment, his eyes were shut tight, and his body trembled incessantly.
"Who hired you to kill me?"
"Miyamoto Nara, that old man from your research institute."
"Miyamoto... Nara?" You broke into a cold laugh. As the sound of your laughter echoed, the man let out his final scream before vanishing from this earthly realm.
As you found yourself at a loss over how to deal with the body, a familiar, comforting voice suddenly chimed in: "Try this."
"Bangde!" You looked in astonishment at the man tightly wrapped from head to toe. "What are you doing here?"
"Let’s clean up the bodies first. We’ll talk afterward." Bangde handed you a small bottle.
"What’s this?"
"It’s Purple Insect Bacterial Fluid. Just one drop can fully dissolve any organism. Drip the fluid onto their wounds."
Following Bangde’s instructions, you dripped the purple liquid onto the assassins’ bodies. As the liquid touched their flesh, the corpses suddenly shone with a faint purple hue. In less than ten seconds, the three bodies disintegrated into air, leaving behind a faint but not overly pungent smell.
You packed the assassins’ clothes into garbage bags and threw them down the garbage chute. Bangde, who had stepped outside while you were handling the cleanup, was now waiting by the door.
"Hey, what’s the deal with you? Did you catch some severe illness? Why’re you wrapped up like you’re running an underground operation?" You teased.
"Aren’t you worried about your friend? How do you still have the energy to joke around?"
"Hmph, since you showed up at this moment, it means you’ve already rescued my friend. You’re my lawyer, so naturally, you wouldn’t harm anyone close to me." You shrugged and chuckled. "Though I admit I’m curious about your face, forget it—we’re both men. I don’t have a weakness for Longyang interests."
"I’ve noticed you’ve become more cheerful lately."
You shrugged again. "I’ve always been cheerful; you just didn’t realize it before."
"Let’s go."
"Where?"
"My car’s outside. Follow me."
Bangde’s car was, indeed, parked outside, suspended mid-air beside the staircase railing.
He led you to a communal apartment complex, escorting you into a cramped room. Upon entering, you found Pang Qin focused intently on her work, her head buried with concentration.
Quietly, you sneaked up behind Pang Qin and tapped her lightly on the back.
"Ah?"
Pang Qin was clearly startled by your sudden move, but when she realized it was you, she relaxed into your embrace like a kitten. "Brother Mu Yun, how did you know I was here? You scared me just now."
With a smile, you asked, "What are you working on?"
"Anti-N-interference device design?" You paused, your expression instantly clouding with a solemn look. "Qin’er, you’ve been focused on this recently?"
"Yes," Pang Qin replied with a smile. "I want to help you."
But upon seeing your stern face, she lowered her head like a guilty child. "You know how dangerous researching this is? N-interference devices emit powerful radiation. If exposed for extended periods, a human body can undergo genetic mutations."
"I’m sorry... I..."
You softened your tone as you looked at Pang Qin. "Qin’er, I know you mean well, but your safety comes first. Besides, anti-N-interference devices are useless against Mech Soldiers and are internationally banned. Did you not know this?"
"I..."
Suddenly, you whipped around to confront Bangde, demanding, "Was it you who told her about this?"
"It wasn’t Mr. Bangde; I figured it out on my own..."
With a chilly glare, you addressed Bangde sharply. "Even though you’re Grandpa En’s man, let me warn you—if you harm anyone close to me, I won’t hesitate to destroy you!"
"I operate under my principles. I don’t need your supervision. Besides, don’t worry—I’m not interested in the lady in your arms." You discerned from Bangde’s eyes that Pang Qin’s appearance wasn’t enough to stir any impure thoughts in him.
With a cold snort, you grabbed Pang Qin’s hand and moved to leave.
"Where are you going?" Bangde blocked the doorway.
"Back to the dormitory," you responded icily.
"Go back? Are you looking to die?"
"Hmph, I’ve never feared anyone. Just a few small fries." You smirked.
"Do you think Miyamoto Nara is merely a research professor?" Bangde’s tone was laced with anger. "Miyamoto Nara leads the Tensho Society’s branch on Zhonghua Star. His underground forces here are vast. Facing him alone is suicidal!"
"Do you know where their branch base is located?" You remained unfazed by Bangde’s words.
"You... You’re hopeless!"
"Thanks for the compliment." You gave a faint smile. "So, where is their base?"
"You..."
"No need to say anything. I’ll find it myself."
Unable to prevent you from dragging Pang Qin away, Bangde sighed helplessly and blocked the door once again. "Alright, I’ll tell you."
Your eyes gleamed with a chilling light, and you smirked. "You know, a true hunter never waits for the prey to show itself. The best way to catch a prey is to capture it all in one fell swoop."
Once you obtained the location of the Tensho Society’s underground base, you wasted no time and set off alone. Bangde’s attempts to stop you failed, leaving him staring at your vanishing figure with a sigh. "This guy... he’s becoming harder and harder to control."
The Tensho Society’s underground base was close to the National Academy of Sciences’ workshop, situated in the outskirts. Halfway there, you deactivated the Tenfold Gravity and infiltrated it effortlessly, moving with Ghost-like speed.
