"You know me?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, his expression as impassive as if he were looking at a stranger.
"The national champion, of course, I know you!"
The woman's eyes held admiration. "Are you here to investigate the incident just now?"
Chen Shu nodded, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
"Do you happen to have any clues to offer me?"
"I'm just a small nurse at the hospital, I don't know anything about the situation!"
The woman shook her head. "Could you give me an autograph?"
"Sorry, I don't have time right now!"
"Then I hope to meet you next time. Good luck!"
The woman walked away with calm steps, a hint of an enigmatic smile on her lips.
The primary target of the Dark Organization was originally Chen Shu,
but because he was confined to the Huaxia Academy, he had no opportunity.
Now that the target had left the academy, it seemed their focus could shift.
"There won't be a next time!"
Chen Shu watched her retreating back, waiting for a moment before following.
"There's a new target!"
The smile on the woman's lips never faded.
Only a few days had passed since the destruction of the Dark Night stronghold, and the news of Chen Shu's actions hadn't been reported on television. They had no idea that Chen Shu was the culprit.
The reason he was designated the primary target was simply because his strength wasn't high, but his influence was immense.
She rode a shared bicycle, cycling leisurely, unaware that someone was following her from a distance.
Chen Shu could blend into the crowd and lock onto her using the red light. The possibility of exposure was minimal.
Moreover, the Desperate Bandit's tracking abilities were always outstanding!
Two hours later,
the two had arrived in another district of Kyoto.
Although it wasn't a bustling area, the pedestrian traffic was still considerable.
Chen Shu watched the public restroom ahead from afar, waiting for the woman to appear.
A moment later, an elder with silver hair emerged. Not only was his appearance weathered, but his body was also slightly hunched.
"Hmm? What sort of dark art is this?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
If it weren't for the red light emanating from him, he wouldn't have recognized the person at all.
Although the members of the Dark Organization were ordinary people, their disguise abilities were second to none.
The woman looked around and finally headed in another direction.
Ten minutes later, the woman entered a building.
"Hmm? This place?"
Chen Shu, still at a distance, stopped and looked at the building ahead.
The Happy Elder Care Home!
"No wonder I couldn't find anything. Their disguise is incredible!"
Several red lights appeared in his vision, clearly belonging to assassins from the Dark Organization.
"Perhaps it's time for me to relive my past glory?"
Chen Shu rubbed his hands together, silently taking out a stack of urea bags, a spark of excitement in his eyes.
...
"Hua Ling!"
The woman entered the elder care home and easily found the director.
Members of the Dark Organization addressed each other by codenames, and since they were located in China, they adopted names like Hua Ling.
The director was a refined middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
He was in a recreational room for the elderly,
and below him, seven elderly people were seated, just like in a normal elder care home.
However, the eyes of the elderly people held a sharp glint, clearly indicating they were disguised assassins of the Dark Organization.
As soon as the woman walked in, everyone looked at her.
"You're back?"
The director frowned and asked, "Did it fail?"
"The target's reaction speed was astonishing!"
The woman replied, "I was constantly looking for an opportunity to strike, but still, he survived."
"It is indeed a bit difficult to get the job done!"
The director shook his head, not surprised.
As the current leader of the Dark Organization, he had successfully assassinated three Gold-ranked individuals over the past decade.
However, his last attempt still failed to kill Ling Chen, which showed the difficulty of assassination.
"But I have gained something else!"
A hint of joy flashed in the woman's eyes as she said, word by word, "I saw Chen Shu!"
"Hmm? Chen Shu?"
The director, who was at the forefront, beamed. "Tell me about it!"
Chen Shu's bounty on the dark web had already surpassed Ling Chen's.
Moreover, he was only Silver-ranked, making him a prime target in the assassin world.
It was a pity that he had always remained in the Huaxia Academy. As the top academy, even the Dark Organization couldn't interfere, and they had to give up.
But who would have thought that Chen Shu would venture out on his own!
The woman recounted Chen Shu's actions, including his visit to Ling Chen and the incident at the hospital entrance.
"Wait!"
The director's expression changed. "You just said he was reading a newspaper at the hospital entrance?"
"Is there a problem?"
The woman blinked, clearly confused and not sensing any issue.
"Is it possible that he was waiting for you?"
The director took a deep breath and said, "He believed that the person who planted the bomb was still inside the hospital, which is why he kept waiting at the entrance!"
"No way?"
The woman's expression was startled, and she finally sensed something was amiss.
"No doubt about it!"
The director had a premonition and said,
"You just mentioned that he admitted to being the investigator. Logically, he should either be examining the scene or retrieving hospital surveillance footage. Why would he be idly waiting at the hospital entrance?"
"Most importantly..."
The director's expression grew serious. "How could someone like him be reading a newspaper?!"
"Are you insulting me right here?"
Just then, a voice came from outside the door.
Chen Shu calmly walked in, his gaze sweeping over the nine people before him.
"You?!"
In an instant, all nine were startled, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Are you really a university student?"
The director's mind was shaken. The intruder had reached the doorway, and he hadn't sensed it at all.
To possess such stealth capabilities, he was at least a top-tier international criminal!
"Don't you recognize me? The Desperate Bandit of Nanjiang!"
Chen Shu smiled slightly and said, "Are you going to take care of yourselves, or shall I do it myself?"
With that, he tossed out a stack of urea bags.
"I'm in a good mood today, so pick your favorite color!"
"..."
The mouths of the nine twitched, a sense of despair filling their eyes.
While they could assassinate high-ranked beast tamers,
they were utterly defenseless against them in a direct confrontation as ordinary humans.
Bang!
Instantly, an armor-piercing bullet flew swiftly, aimed directly at Chen Shu's head.
A plump rabbit appeared and immediately used Spatial Confinement.
The incoming bullet inexplicably froze in mid-air, motionless!
Chen Shu casually extended two fingers and easily caught the bullet.
"All martial arts in the world are invincible when fast!"
