Chapter 105 Two completely different people
If the story of their encounter ended with Bai Yu sending the person to the hospital, not only not getting paid but also paying for the person's medical expenses, then this would be a misunderstanding at most.
Ms. Jian wasn't one to be petty, and Bai Yu was always passive in his interactions with others. So, the two of them parted ways, and if they ever met again in the future, they would probably just pass by each other without bothering each other.
It would not be called "bad fate".
Jane never thought that the second time she would see the man, with whom she had never exchanged names, would be in a scene with corpses everywhere.
The blood-red setting sun, accompanied by the suffocating smell of blood in the wind, served as a backdrop for the man in black.
The minions sent by the criminal group that Ms. Jane is currently lurking in are all lying on the ground, with no one knowing whether they are dead or alive.
The man held the long knife in one hand, with the tip of the knife pointing diagonally at the ground. Blood flowed along the sharp blade and dripped onto the ground, forming a small pool of blood.
The rest of the people who followed the little leader gasped in horror when they saw the scene, and many of the timid ones felt their knees go weak.
Hearing the noise made by the crowd, the man with his back to Jane and the others turned his head to look back, then slowly turned around with a knife in hand.
Those eyes, which were redder than blood, were filled with a cold murderous aura. They passed through the crowd of figures and pierced straight into Jane's eyes in the crowd.
The image of a simple and gentle "good kid" that Jane had originally had in her mind was completely shattered.
"He, he, he! Look, look here!" A younger brother standing behind Jane whispered to the people around him in a trembling voice.
"Don't be afraid!" Another brother, his legs trembling, said stubbornly, "We have many brothers. He can't kill them all. No, it's okay. Let's move back and hide for a while."
I saw that the leader’s legs were shaking, so I guessed that the fight wouldn’t last long.
When he says to retreat, we'll run away."
"They're already thinking of running away before the fight even begins... They're just a bunch of temporary hirelings, after all.
So the focus of this mission is still on this group of people's [employer]?
"But what's going on in this scene now?" Jane quietly took a step and hid herself behind the gang leader standing in front of her, avoiding those cold, sharp eyes.
Although Jane's disguise this time was completely different from the last time she met him, she didn't want to risk the possibility of mission failure by gambled on whether her disguise could deceive the man's keen observation. With this in mind, Jane deliberately retracted her swinging tail, wrapped it around her waist, and pulled up her coat to hide it.
"Alas, this is the first time I go out with my boss and I run into such bad luck.
Do you two brothers know how we fought against that evil star on the opposite side?
I don't want to be beaten to death without knowing why, at least let me know what's going on." Jane leaned back slightly, sighing deliberately to attract attention, and then used this opportunity to ask the two minions who had just discussed escaping.
"Are you new here, sister? Then you are really unlucky." The little brother on the left who cleverly said he wanted to escape stood on tiptoe to take a look. The little leader in front was pretending to talk to the evil star on the opposite side, and it seemed that there would be no fight for the time being.
He drew back and whispered in Jane's ear, "The guy across the street, I heard was hired by the 'big boss' at a high price.
But I don’t know what happened, but I suddenly had a falling out with the “big boss” today, and then a killing order was issued for him.
Actually, none of the brothers wanted to come.
When we were working together a few days ago, everyone saw with their own eyes that guy chopping things like cutting melons and vegetables.
With one strike, he split the corpse into two.
How can our small bodies be as hard as the skeleton covered with ether crystals?
You have some vision in choosing to hang out with my boss. Although he is usually timid, he is very careful about his life.
Look at those people on the ground who volunteered to take the credit for Black Wolf's work.
So ladies, be smart for a while. The boss will probably call for a retreat after he finishes his threats, so you better follow closely and run faster."
"...Thank you for your advice, brother. I understand." Jane pushed the glasses she wore for disguise, and a thoughtful gleam flashed in her eyes.
Bai Yu, who was holding a knife and forced to listen to nonsense, suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.
He couldn't help but be alert, and quietly glanced around to prevent being ambushed.
"Shut up!!" Bai Yu frowned, not noticing anything unusual. The strong smell of blood blocked his mouth and nose like a water-soaked towel, making Bai Yu almost suffocate.
Affected by his intense and tense emotions, his stomach kept contracting and aching, so Bai Yu didn't dare to open his mouth and say a single word, for fear that he would vomit on the spot.
The gang leader on the opposite side, who had been buzzing like a fly and was leading a group of people but did not dare to take a step forward, was frightened by Bai Yu's scolding and took a big step back.
Under the surprised gazes of his younger brothers behind him, the little leader blushed and pointed at Bai Yu in anger, "You! You! You!" He kept saying for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything harsh in the face of Bai Yu's increasingly ugly expression.
Bai Yu pulled up his collar to cover his face. The protective mask had been torn in the previous battle.
He no longer wanted to get entangled with these minions. If he continued to delay, the people lying on the ground would not receive timely medical treatment, and he was afraid that some of them would die from excessive blood loss.
There is only one exit, and it is behind these people.
Bai Yu pursed his lips, veins bulging on the back of his knife-hand from the force he exerted. He lowered his knife-hand slightly, letting the tip of the knife touch the ground, making a rustling sound as he walked forward.
The sound was actually not obvious in such a wide place, but for these timid mob, it exploded in their ears like a thunderclap.
Dozens of people faced the lone Bai Yu in complete silence, not even daring to breathe. They followed the evil star's steps and retreated step by step.
It was not until Bai Yu walked through the crowd and out of the gate, and his back completely disappeared, that the worried crowd breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"That's great, we survived!" Someone in the crowd was so overjoyed that he expressed everyone's thoughts.
"What's so good about that?!" The little leader, who had just been frightened to the point of not daring to even fart, immediately started cursing, trying to regain the face he had just lost on his own little brother. "Why don't you just go over there and see how many of them are still breathing!?
You don't dare to fight, and you need me to teach you how to clean up afterward?!
Also, if you still want to get paid, shut up!
When the "big boss" asks about it when we get back, just say that...
Ahem! That man! He was badly injured, and when he saw us, he got scared and ran away.
We didn't chase after them because we wanted to rescue our seriously injured brothers.
Do you understand?"
"Understood!" When the gangsters heard the reward, they immediately changed their timid expressions and shouted in unison with great momentum.
"..." Jane, who was in the crowd, looked at the leader with a strange look. He was not brave enough but was very good at finding excuses to fool the "boss". She thought that this man was also a talent.
"Sisters, don't just stand there. Let's go check out our "excuses," shall we?" The younger brother who had spoken to Jane before saw the person standing there and looking back in the direction where the evil star had left. He kindly reminded her, "Don't look. I know that you young girls all love to fantasize about some romantic stories happening with such powerful people.
But brother, I really don’t mean to scare you.
Like the one just now, at first glance you can tell that he is a person destined to be involved in bloody events.
People who are at the forefront of such storms either stand tall like a shooting star and die early, or the chances of people around them dying are extremely high!
For a small person like us to be associated with someone like that, it's all thanks to our ancestors that we die quickly.
If you want to survive long in the underworld, you have to learn to keep a low profile. That guy looks powerful, but who knows how long he can live?!
"I don't know how long he can live. But I know that if you don't go to work, your boss will make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow." After listening to the younger brother's sincere yet sour advice, Jane raised his eyebrows and motioned him to look back.
After getting the hint, cold sweat broke out on the younger brother's forehead. He immediately ignored the new girl in front of him and ran to work in shame.
Ms. Jane walked in the crowd pretentiously, randomly checking the wounds of the fallen people. She frequently heard voices shouting that there were living people who needed first aid, but she did not hear anyone asking for people to move the bodies.
Jane gently tore open the injured man's clothes and found that the bloody knife wound across the entire back of the man under her hand was very scary at first sight, but a closer inspection would reveal that it was not as serious as his broken leg.
The knife wound only cut through the skin, not even severing the muscles. It was just that the wound was too long and the blood flowed too horribly, giving people the terrifying effect of being split in half.
"It seems that my inference was not wrong..." Jane quickly stopped the bleeding and bandaged the injured person, but her mind was recalling the scene when the man walked past her.
While everyone was intimidated by Bai Yu's aura and didn't dare to look him in the eye, Jian, who was hiding in the crowd, had been observing him silently.
So Jane did not miss the redness in the corners of Bai Yu's eyes under his sharp bangs and the subtle movement of swallowing saliva.
And those steps that seemed steady, but were slower and heavier than the day when he carried her, a living person.
All of these body language expressions told Jian the pain that Bai Yu himself was enduring.
"Maybe I should do something." Jane fixed the injured man's broken leg with all her strength, but she turned a deaf ear to the man's shrill cries as he woke up from the pain.
"After all, pure white is the color that gets stained most easily."
