Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 70 - 65: Mission Ends Early, Roast Chicken Delivered, Vengeance Sword (Double - )
The Immortal Technique Committee at night was still brightly lit.
You could occasionally hear the sound of people typing away at keyboards, writing documents in various departments.
Only the seventeenth floor, cleared of idlers to protect Zhang Yuan, remained completely silent along the corridor.
The office door was open, and inside, several people were lying on a few camp beds.
Among them, Fang Xiaoyu was sprawled out asleep, drooling slightly at the mouth.
Master Chong and Bai Mo lay quietly, meditating to keep their minds sharp.
Gu Lin had already opened his eyes, perked up his ears, listening carefully to any movements outside.
They heard Zhang Yuan’s footsteps, heard the restroom door being pushed open, heard...
Buzz!
A buzzing sound came from nowhere?
"Damn!"
Gu Lin’s face instantly froze, leaping up from the camp bed, dashing out of the office!
Behind him, Master Chong and Bai Mo also jumped up and rushed out the door!
Did something go wrong?
Was Zhang Yuan still targeted?
What happened?
Gu Lin thought he had been cautious enough, yet a loophole had still been exploited?
...
In the restroom, Third Brother flapped his fly wings, darting towards Zhang Yuan’s nostril!
His heart leapt with joy, fly eyes even flickering with light!
Drill into the nostril, then into the brain, and the target can be killed!
Drill out through the eye socket, then into the ceiling vent, and he could escape!
But in the next moment, a fiery red figure whizzed by, a plush front paw lashed out!
The black fly was securely pinched between the fox’s claws!
White Ears wanted to laugh but held a stern face, maintaining the cool demeanor of a top-notch bodyguard.
As a top-notch bodyguard, reliability was key, never leaving the employer’s side!
A little fly, although it was surprising how fast it could fly, its front paws had recently been strengthened, easily pinching it.
Thump, thump, thump... Bang!
After the footsteps, the restroom door was kicked open.
At the restroom entrance, Gu Lin, Master Chong, Bai Mo, and others rushed in.
Gu Lin looked at the bewildered Zhang Yuan, then at the Fox Immortal Beast holding up a paw, and breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the Fox Immortal Beast did its duty and protected Zhang Yuan.
But... what on earth happened?
Gu Lin looked closer, seeing the Fox Immortal Beast’s paw pinching a black speck—it was... a fly?
The fly was still struggling, clamped in the fox’s paw.
The Fox Immortal Beast was displeased and pinched lightly.
The fox’s claw pierced the fly’s body, the tips glowing with an evil-banishing light...
The little fly abruptly burst into a large cloud of blue smoke, accompanied by a ghastly scream from Third Brother’s soul.
"Ah—"
...
The night was vast.
The bustling market by day was cold and deserted by night.
In the small room at the pork stall, Third Brother’s body lay on a wooden board, suddenly convulsing and twitching, mouth foaming continuously like an epileptic fit!
The eyes twitched upwards, showing only whites, no pupils!
Bang!
The room door opened.
Clack!
The light switched on.
The chubby owner stood at the door, frowning at the sight of Third Brother convulsing and foaming inside, his expression contorted with displeasure and concern.
"Damn!
"Don’t you dare die here on me, damn it?"
...
Immortal Technique Committee.
Seventeenth floor.
Zhang Yuan had already been sent back to the innermost room of the office, along with a large enough toilet. Next time, he wouldn’t need to come out for the restroom.
Outside the office, Fang Xiaoyu and another secretary huddled in the distance, faces filled with fear.
Chairman Chen Shu, along with several directors and Gu Lin, Master Chong, Bai Mo, gathered around the table, shining a flashlight on the fly’s corpse. The tiny body was still emitting a faint black smoke.
"Hell if that isn’t bizarre, like a crooked donkey farting straight!"
Master Chong sneered.
His cultivation of Gu Dao, similar to Beast Taming, shared many similarities. His Gu insects could capture souls, and from comparison, he guessed the fly’s Immortal Technique...
"Probably inhabited by a soul or something; otherwise, with a fly’s brain capacity, it couldn’t have successfully infiltrated the committee, reached this floor, or ambushed in the restroom.
"The most reasonable explanation is that the fly was inhabited by a human soul."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Master Chong’s analysis. After all, he was indeed an expert in this field.
Chairman Chen Shu grimaced like he had swallowed a fly.
No matter how much precaution was taken, no one expected the enemy to pull such a stunt!
"Luckily, it was still thwarted! Hahaha."
Chairman Chen Shu let out a relieved laugh, glancing towards the small office direction. At that moment, he felt immensely grateful for the Fox Immortal Beast, even wanting to kneel in thanks!
"I’ll arrange to have the entire place fumigated now, not leaving a single bug in the committee!"
Suddenly, a phone rang from Chairman Chen Shu’s pocket.
He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, frowned, and stepped out of the room to take the call alone in the corridor.
Left in the room, Master Chong nudged Bai Mo’s arm.
"I just glimpsed the caller ID.
"Do you know who was calling?"
Bai Mo glanced at Master Chong, noticing this guy wearing sunglasses, seemed poorly sighted, yet surprisingly sharp-eyed.
Master Chong ignored Gu Lin’s gaze, chuckling as he gossiped with Bai Mo.
"Wu Jianxian!
"Chairman of the Immortal Book Committee, the strongest today, Sequence Seven, Sword Immortal, Wu Jianxian!"
Wu Jianxian?
Why was he calling?
Could it be that the situation was even more serious than anticipated?
Not long after, the office door opened again, revealing Chairman Chen Shu coming back in with a smile once more.
"I have some good news for everyone.
"Your task is completed!
"The mission to protect Zhang Yuan is finished.
