Chapter 35: No Stop

Human Martial Arts Group Building.

basement.

Shen Ye squatted beside the corpse, resting his chin on his hands, silently dazed.

Recalling Qian Rushan's strange tone on the phone when he asked to see the body again, Shen Ye couldn't help but feel a little unreasonable.

——As a teenager, I like to stay with corpses, claiming to be looking for clues.

No matter how you look at it, something is wrong.

But there is no way.

It's late afternoon now.

I don’t know what’s going on with Xiao Mengyu.

You have to ask yourself.

"There's no one around."

The big skeleton whispered.

Shen Ye nodded and looked at the assassin's corpse.

"Let's talk again?"

He spoke.

The corpse opened his eyes, and it took him a while to react, and said, "What do you want to talk about?"

Shen Ye asked:
"Xiao Mengyu of the Luo family is a swordsman. What are her chances of winning against the 'Skinner'?"

"Xiao Mengyu? I have heard of her. She is a genius of this generation of the Luo family," the corpse said thoughtfully, "She is very good at using various situations to form a victory, and her fighting talent is amazing."

"So she can win?" Shen Ye said.

"No, she will lose," the corpse said.

"You just said she was stunningly talented and beautiful." Shen Ye said unhappily.

"'The Skinner' is a top assassin. His identity is very mysterious. No one knows his origin. Moreover, everyone who has seen him attack with all his strength has died, and no one has survived." The corpse said.

"Xiao Mengyu must not be able to defeat him?" Shen Ye asked.

"When 'Skinner' first debuted, he killed an adult master from a famous family and made a sensation all over the world. Afterwards, he lived happily for decades in various pursuits, and he is fine until now."

"The Xiao Mengyu you are talking about is just a teenage girl. Even though she has outstanding talent, she is still too young and is far from his opponent."

Corpse explained seriously.

"He killed people from the noble family and still survived?" Shen Ye didn't believe it.

The corpse said: "To be precise, he was hired to fight for the sake of the family's internal struggle."

"In this case, if the family is not monolithic, they will not go all out to hunt him down——"

"But this is already amazing."

"It's really amazing." Shen Ye said.

"By the way, the 'Skinner's' mission has never failed." The corpse said.

"Last question." Shen Ye said.

"Say." said the corpse.

"Do you have any other team members?"

"No more. Only the 'Skinner' is left. We originally thought it was just a simple mission... Who could have expected it to turn out like this?" The corpse sighed.

Yes.

The original Shen Ye was dead.

Your mission should have been completed long ago. You can leave this city and go back to collect your commission.

But here I am.

"If you have nothing else to do, just sleep." Shen Ye said.

The corpse closed its eyes.

Shen Ye stood up slowly, turned around and walked away.

Xiao Mengyu is in danger.

He originally wanted to rely on her strength to find out the truth, but he didn't expect that it would put her in a dangerous situation.

Her brother died trying to help her.

Chen Haoyu is dead.

The witness is probably dead too.

How many more people are going to die?

She is the only one still working hard on this matter.

...Can't let her die.

However, how can he participate in the battle with his own strength?

No.

Maybe there's no need to fight.

He just needs to rescue her.

First, you have your own door.

Secondly, I still have the ghost motorcycle.

There seems to be something going on.

"Hey, it's dangerous. Don't go and die. What will I do if you die?"

The big skeleton advised in a low voice.

"Shut up, do you think you can hide away?" Shen Ye said.

Go back to dorms.

Shen Ye put the will-o'-the-wisp motorcycle into the ring and tied the night dagger behind his back. Everything was ready.

The phone suddenly rang.

Qian Rushan's voice rang from the mobile phone:

"Your floor is completely closed tonight and no one is allowed to go out. We will leave early tomorrow morning."

"Ah? Completely closed?" Shen Ye said in surprise.

"Yes, this is for your safety. Have a good rest. See you tomorrow." Qian Rushan said.

The phone hangs up.

Shen Ye fell into deep thought.

It's good now, I can't get out.

How to do?
Could he just watch Xiao Mengyu die?
suddenly.

The phone rang again.

It's an unfamiliar number.

Shen Ye's heart tightened and he immediately answered the phone.

An unfamiliar young female voice sounded:

"Are you Shen Ye?"

"I'm."

"My mother said that if I can't contact her, let me come to you and call the police with you."

"you are?"

"My mother is a nurse at the No. 1 City Hospital. She saw you hitting a ghost that day."

It's an eyewitness!
That would make sense that she knew his phone number.

——When I went to see Chen Haoyu, I registered my contact information at the nurse station.

"Where's your mother?" Shen Ye asked immediately.

Sobs came from the phone: "She asked me to go to the Maplewood Hotel in the western suburbs of the city, and she would wait for me there, but -"

"I can't contact her now."

"Where are you?" Shen Ye asked immediately.

The person on the other side hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm at the Star Fast Food on Changhong Street opposite the Fenglin Hotel."

"Okay, don't leave, wait for me - by the way, you have to call the police immediately." Shen Ye said.

"Ah."

The phone hangs up.

"It's not worth going. Be careful of traps." The big skeleton said.

"The corpse said that the killer only has one 'skinner' left - the dead will not lie to me." Shen Ye said.

"It's safer to hide here, why bother looking for trouble?" the big skeleton persuaded again.

"Stop talking," Shen Ye said calmly, "Someone else wants to kill me, do you understand?" "- Am I going to be a coward for the rest of my life? I don't even dare to find out who wants to kill me?"

The big skeleton said no more.

A look of determination flashed in Shen Ye's eyes.

What the Human Martial Arts Group can give to itself has already been given to itself.

Before they show more value, they will not go to war for themselves, let alone track down the assassins of the Assassin League.

After all, the killer would rather die than reveal his secret.

If he didn't have this undead talent from the nightmare world, he wouldn't be able to know the truth.

in other words--

If you want to find the truth, you can only rely on yourself!
——Of course it’s better to have help.

Shen Ye slowed down his tone and said, "Help me see if there is anyone outside."

"I sensed two balls of life flame in the corridor. Apparently someone is patrolling. You will be discovered as soon as you go out."

The big skeleton spoke up.

——Can’t go out through the corridor.

Regardless of whether it was safe or dangerous, it was best to let everyone think that they were staying in the dormitory of the Human Martial Arts Building.

Shen Ye looked out the window.

This is on the 100th floor of the Human Martial Arts Group Building.

Although Qian Rushan took away a large number of people, apparently to carry out some mission, there are still many people left here.

"There is no sign of the fire of life outside the window, but if you want to fly with a motorcycle, the movement of the motorcycle will be immediately detected."

The big skeleton said.

"It seems that we can't use motorcycles." Shen Ye murmured.

"That's right, you can't fly, so you'd better stay in the room honestly, so that both you and I will be safe." The big skeleton seized the opportunity to persuade again.

Shen Ye walked back and forth in the room several times, and suddenly muttered to himself:
"Escape lane..."

"What?" asked the big skeleton.

Shen Ye ignored it and stretched out his hand to press in the air.

A door suddenly appeared.

open the door.

Inside is still the secret passage on the battlefield.

"Disband."

The door disappears.

Shen Ye stretched out his palm again, tilted his five fingers towards himself, and pressed in the air.

The door appears again.

Only this time, there was an angle between the door and the ground.

Opening the door is still a secret passage.

But because the door and the ground are at an angle, the secret passage behind the door is like an uphill road.

"Success." Shen Ye said.

"Success? What success?" The Big Skeleton was confused.

Shen Ye ignored it and jumped directly onto the windowsill to look at the sky outside.

It was getting dark.

It looks like it will rain tonight. Even though the wind is strong, it is unable to disperse the dark and dense clouds.

Clouds in the sky are a good thing.

At least the building is shrouded in clouds and fog, and no one can see what will appear outside it.

Shen Ye leaned over and looked.

The city is like a miniature model, very far away from me.

——To get to the ground from this height?

Shen Ye gritted his teeth and added all 7 attribute points to agility.

Now his agility reaches 10.1.

Shen Ye only felt that he was as light as a swallow, as if he could fly away with the wind at any time, or like a fish that could swim freely in space.

He shook his head slightly.

This is an illusion caused by too many attributes increasing at once.

but--

Now I can even use the "Passing by" technique of "Deer Walking Under the Moon"!
"You're not going to jump off the building!"

The big skeleton said quickly:
"I'm telling you, at this height, even if your agility is 30, it will be useless, you will still fall to your death!"

Shen Ye stared at the distant ground and said, "There's no time to explain, Skeleton Shrimp, let's go!"

"You - hell!" the big skeleton screamed.

It was because Shen Ye had already jumped out of the window.

The wind whistled in my ears.

Shen Ye was falling from a high altitude, his speed getting faster and faster.

a moment.

He suddenly stretched out his palm, with his five fingers slightly curled back, and shouted:
"Door!"

The door appeared at an angle.

Shen Ye kicked the door open and ran wildly along the secret passage behind the door which was like an uphill slope.

His speed slowed down a lot because of the cushion brought by the uphill climb.

At the end of the secret passage——

"Door!"

A door appeared again.

Shen Ye pushed the door open, and this action slowed down his falling momentum a little.

He reappeared high in the sky and continued to fall.

But he immediately raised his hand and released a door.

So we rushed up the slope again.

——This is like the special escape lane on a highway in the mountains.

A truck that is speeding out of control can slow down by taking the steep slope of the escape lane and take emergency shelter to avoid a tragic accident in which the vehicle is destroyed and people are killed.

After three consecutive charges, Shen Ye's speed had completely dropped.

He continued to fall.

Whenever his speed threatened to exceed a dangerous limit, he would open the door again and rush up the steep slope several times.

The falling speed decreases rapidly.

He continued to fall like this until -

thump.

Shen Ye bent his knees slightly to absorb the slight impact and stood in the green belt on the side of the building.

He jumped out of the green belt and hid under a big tree across the street.

The cold wind howled.

A night rain is coming.

——Thanks to the dark clouds and thunder and lightning.

No one noticed what they had just done.
