Chapter 202: Chai Si: Retribution Comes Quickly
"Han Liuyue" fell into the rain and dark alley and disappeared.

Sure enough, there was a problem here - he had already informed Han Liuyue of the size and shape of the trap in advance - three meters, square -

Chai Si stared intently at the rainy alley in front of him, and thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, as fast as lightning.

As soon as Han Liuyue falls in, she should be able to immediately understand the meaning of the hint, and she will definitely do her best to protect herself.

As long as Jin Xueli is still alive, we can seize this opportunity——

The next second, it seemed as if a part of the gears in his mind were suddenly pressed down by someone, and all his thoughts froze in place.

A line of words emerged from the empty and dark rainy alley.

The words were facing him, as if formed from mist, floating quietly in the air, only one degree darker than the night - the line of text disappeared in the blink of an eye, but before it disappeared, Chai Si captured every word in time.

"Input character command error; Error reason: Not fully human"

Wait, what does this mean?
Before Chai Si had time to think, the next second, another Han Liuyue suddenly appeared in the empty alley - no, or more accurately, many Han Liuyues.

Fortunately, he was knowledgeable and experienced, otherwise he would not have been able to immediately associate the group of people who reappeared with Han Liuyue.

Because that group of things couldn't even be put together into a human form.

The moment Chai Si raised his eyes, the first thing he saw was a snow-white Noh mask floating alone in the air.

It seemed to have really become a mask, lonely, not connected to the head or the body.

The head was floating in the air several steps away. Like the body, it was broken down and wrapped by many gray and white cloud-like "frames"; words were also floating on the wrapped parts.

XX?

(Organs with transplant value) (Organs without transplant value)

(Reproductive System Resources)
(Body shell, containing spores, cannot be further disassembled)
(Head, including black hole, cannot be further disassembled)
(Passageway, temporarily closed)

(Emotions: surprise, anger, feeling betrayed and exploited, curiosity)

(Knowledge and Skills)
(desire)
There were even more "cloud frames," stacked one on top of the other, all tightly surrounding the snow-white Noh mask, as if they had all been disassembled from Han Liuyue; there were so many of them that Chai Si couldn't take them all in at a glance.

He only remembered that there seemed to be a sun hat, a mobile phone, and clothes and shoes floating nearby.

Even though he couldn't fully understand the situation, he had a vague intuition in a split second - if he wanted to break a person, especially an adult or a hunter, into parts, it would definitely take a lot.

He didn't have the chance to look closely at the cloud frames.

The large group of dismantled parts only appeared before his eyes, as if illuminated by lightning for a moment, and then disappeared from mid-air - accompanied by a faint shock, a Noh mask "Han Liuyue" who had returned to his original appearance and was neatly dressed, crashed heavily into the brick wall across the alley.

...Thrown out of the trap?

"Han Liuyue" slid down the brick wall to the ground, and climbed up from the ground with the support of her hands and feet. From her mask-like face, it was impossible to tell whether she felt pain or not.

She even grabbed her cell phone and put her hat back on her head; she first looked at the door where Chai Si was, then turned to look at the alley to Chai Si's right - but Chai Si didn't know what Han Liuyue saw.

Chai Si knew he should call her, but for a few seconds, he could only hold on to the door frame, barely supporting his trembling but still weak body.

How to describe it?
In the first moment when the body is suddenly injured, the human brain is actually blank and confused; at that time, the brain has not yet reacted to the "injury", has not yet understood it, and does not feel the pain.

At this moment, he was staring at "Han Liuyue" across the alley, just like a person who has just been injured, with only desolation and confusion in his mind.

After a few seconds, Chai Si let go of the door frame.

The alley was about three to four meters wide. In a three-meter square area close to the door, the raindrops fell to the ground slower than those on the side.

That's not uniformly slow.

When the rain is about to fall three meters above the sky, it will suddenly slow down, as if it has entered an invisible object with great density; that invisible object tastes the countless raindrops, and as if finding them unpalatable, spits them back to the ground.

It was through the rain that he was able to initially determine the scope and shape of the trap.

But it was not until Han Liuyue was thrown out that Chai Si suddenly realized another problem.

...Jin Xueli must be dead.

He thought almost blankly.

"Han Liuyue" was decomposed into that shape, but was able to be reassembled into a human form, thrown out by the trap and thrown onto the opposite wall. There was only one reason - she was not a complete and pure human being.

This trap seems to only respond to humans.

Jin Xueli is a human being, a very lively and warm human being.

Apart from humans, this invisible creature is not interested in Yu Si or Han Liuyue, who has non-human parts; and anyone who falls into its hands will probably be decomposed into the scene just now.

That line of words also indirectly proved his guess - "input character instructions" should mean that only humans can be sent into it.

Chai Si knew that his luck was always bought at the cost of other people's lives, ever since that car accident when he was a child. No one had ever asked him if he wanted such good fortune.

"Han Liuyue!"

This roar not only made Han Liuyue turn his head, but also startled him.

"Who did you see over there?" Chai Si shouted angrily, "Hurry up!"

Han Liuyue hadn't just turned her head to look. The invisible cube didn't completely fill the alley, leaving half a meter of space between it and the opposite brick wall.

Before Chai Si shouted, Han Liuyue was half-sideways, walking out step by step between the square trap and the wall - she seemed to say something towards the alley on the right, but her voice was very low, and Chai Si could not hear clearly because of the rainy night and the cube trap.

There was someone there; it must be someone who came to assassinate him but accidentally killed Jin Xueli.

If nothing unexpected happens, that person should be Brianna from the Vesile team, or the men she sent.

...The person who came to assassinate seemed to be talking to Han Liuyue.

"Han Liuyue!" he shouted again.

Han Liuyue turned her head.

In the dark night, the snow-white mask seemed to be floating in the shadow under the brim of the hat.

The face stared at Chai Si steadily. After a few seconds, there was no reaction. It turned its head away again and continued walking towards the alley on the right.

Soon, she was out of Chai Si's sight.

She had said before that if she saw the assassin, she would kill him for him... Is Han Liuyue planning to take action now?
Chase really hoped he could believe this answer.

But the Noh mask that had just turned towards him was intact, snow-white and cold.

If you want to take action, why not fly a piece of debris over?
He had been attacked by debris once in the bar just now. Although Han Liuyue didn't actually pierce his eyeball with the debris, Chai Si knew that facial debris like that was difficult to dodge - especially when the assassin didn't know what to dodge.

But Chai Si couldn't step out of the door, and there was no other exit in the "backlight" that would allow him to take a detour to the back alley. For a moment, he was trapped in the situation he hated the most: he became so incompetent that he seemed to have no choice but to wait and pin his hopes on others.

...Absolutely not.

He took off his coat, crumpled it into a ball, and with a powerful swing of his arm, threw the coat into the alley.

The coat flew into the air and suddenly stopped - at that moment, the coat seemed to fall into liquid and its falling momentum slowed down; then, the coat was thrown into the trap again and flew to the opposite wall like Han Liuyue, slid to the ground, and was hit by dark water marks from the rain, and gradually became shrunken.

Sure enough, the trap still hadn't been removed.

Although I don’t know why, Han Liuyue might be at risk of turning against us.

Chai Si immediately dodged and stood on the side of the door. This way, at least he could temporarily avoid the possibility of being attacked from outside the door. He took out his mobile phone and quickly sent a message to Tianxi.

"Lead people, back alley between backlight, false image trap, starter at the west alley entrance"

Fortunately, he asked Tianxi to ambush at Fu Tailan Apartment tonight; Tianxi and his team could come directly from Fu Tailan Apartment, which was much faster than gathering more people and setting off from Kai's house.

But no matter how fast you go, can you catch up with the two people outside the door?

Chai Si suppressed the thought - no matter whether Tianxi could catch up or not, he couldn't do nothing.

Just as he was about to put the phone back, he suddenly stopped.

Jin Xueli called Han Liuyue tonight... This shows that she may not know other things, but she still remembers how to answer the phone.

Just now, when Han Liuyue was disassembled, he clearly saw a mobile phone floating in the air.

That is to say...

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Chai Si took action - he quickly dialed Han Liuyue's number.

The call tone rang again and again, and faintly, through the square trap, he heard the vague ringtone of Han Liuyue's cell phone.

I don’t know how many times the phone rang, but Han Liuyue finally picked up the phone.

There was no sound on the phone, only the rustling sound of rain and the sound of cars on the road in the distance.

Chai Si could almost imagine that snow-white, bulging face, like a huge moon emerging from the horizon, silently pressing on the phone, waiting for him to speak first.

He knew he had little chance and had to grab Han Liuyue's attention with the first sentence to prevent her from hanging up the phone.

If possible, we should find out what is happening now.

This requires considering what the other party said to her that prevented Han Liuyue from taking action - the answer seems easy to guess.

"...What conditions did the other party offer you?" Chai Si asked in a low voice.

"Oh, you guessed it, you're really worthy of being Brother Chai."

Han Liuyue said calmly, "...'It's just the mayor. I can see him whenever I want. What kind of fake do I have? Don't worry.' That's what this person just said to me."

The assassin's reaction was much faster than he expected.

"You want to lure Shibashi-san into your trap, right?"

Before Chai Si could figure out how to respond, Han Liuyue spoke again, apparently addressing the assassin: "You seem sincere, so I might as well tell you. He's very weak right now. Find someone to push him from behind, and he'll fall into your trap."

...I really want to kill Han Liuyue.

Chase thought as he licked his dry lips.

　Well, if I continue with this routine, I might not have many days left...

　　I have to go to a social gathering for Christmas because a work client is coming to visit. As an i person, my social media quota exceeded the limit in January this year, and I have already used up the quota for 26 years.
　　PS: The title reflects my gloating over Chai Si. Without him, I can't get through the whole night. The least popular, the most difficult!
