...
Ning Fan remained noncommittal.
He wasn't sure if he could be considered sane anymore.
Originally, he had only wanted to become a Marauder to earn money and buy the Elixir for his mother.
But now, he found himself drifting further and further away from his initial intentions.
There was no choice.
From the moment people started dying in the Stray Dog Pack, Ning Fan could no longer remain uninvolved.
He had to save his mother, no matter what.
And the revenge, it must be taken.
In the early hours of the morning.
Five hours had passed since Su Bei killed and escaped.
In a dilapidated residence, Li Hui clutched his machete, yawning.
"I fucking suspect that little bastard is deliberately messing with us," Li Hui complained. "Su Bei isn't an idiot. Now that he's managed to escape, why would he come back and walk right into our trap?"
Beside him, Deputy Captain Meng could barely keep his eyes open.
His giant axe lay next to him.
"Alright, enough complaining. If you're not happy with it, go talk to Captain Wen," he said.
At the mention of Wen Cai, Li Hui's tone noticeably softened.
"I just don't understand why Captain Wen trusts him so much!"
"That kid, he probably has some brains," Deputy Captain Meng said, not harboring as much hostility towards Ning Fan. He continued leisurely, "At the very least, from what we've seen so far, Su Bei is indeed reckless! People like him, you can't analyze them with normal logic!"
"Deputy Meng, why are you also speaking up for that little brat?" Li Hui pouted.
Deputy Captain Meng laughed, "What's the matter? Afraid that if we really catch the guy, you'll get kicked by that kid?"
"Fuck! If that little bastard really has the ability to catch Su Bei, our F27 District Monitors will have thoroughly embarrassed ourselves! Let him kick me once if he wants! What's the big deal?" Li Hui said nonchalantly. "It's not like he can kick me to death, right?"
"You!" Deputy Captain Meng sighed, "I've told you before, don't think you're above others just because you wear this uniform! It's easy to make enemies that way!"
Li Hui wouldn't listen, "What? I follow the rules when I do my job, what could go wrong? That little brat just got lucky, who knows what sweet talk he used to fool Captain Wen!"
"Captain Wen... is she so easily fooled?" Deputy Captain Meng chuckled.
Li Hui opened his mouth but said nothing.
Just as Deputy Captain Meng was about to give Li Hui another lecture, his expression suddenly changed.
Li Hui also sensed the shift in the atmosphere!
"Damn! Don't tell me that little brat was right?"
Li Hui suddenly stood up, grabbing his long blade, his eyes full of vigilance.
Deputy Captain Meng's face was equally serious as he gripped the handle of his axe.
Even though they knew Su Bei wouldn't be easy to catch after he had escaped from right under their noses, they still couldn't quite get over it.
Now, if that guy dared to come back, especially when they were prepared in advance, and they still couldn't catch him...
How would that be any different from letting someone shit on their heads?
......
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a six-story building in Rotten Fish Alley.
Ning Fan held a pair of binoculars in one hand and a phone in the other.
He had never even touched these two pieces of equipment before.
Although Monitors couldn't use Soul Servants within the district, their equipment was indeed much more sophisticated than that of ordinary Marauder teams.
"He's here," Ning Fan said excitedly into the phone. "You can activate Spirit Suppressor No. 1 now."
"Alright," Wen Cai's voice came through the phone.
They had known from the moment Su Bei entered the district.
Under Ning Fan's arrangement, not only had the guards at the entrance not relaxed, but they had become even more vigilant.
It was a normal response to strengthen area management when someone used a Soul Servant within the district and killed six or seven people.
As Ning Fan had said, if Su Bei noticed that the security was more relaxed than before, he might realize it was a trap and wouldn't come in.
Of course, the strict security was just a facade.
Su Bei had wrapped a turban around his head and smeared mud on his face, making a simple attempt at disguise, and had also assumed a new identity.
But that was only his own perception that he had changed his appearance effectively.
In reality, the guards recognized him at a glance when he entered.
"You really predicted it right, this guy... he's truly a madman!"
Although Wen Cai had thought Ning Fan's reasoning made sense earlier, she was still quite shocked when Su Bei actually returned to F27 District.
"Being mad is one thing, more importantly, he simply doesn't take the Monitors seriously at all," Ning Fan responded.
Wen Cai let out a cold laugh, "Kid, you don't need to provoke me with your words, I'm angry enough already."
"I'm just stating the facts," Ning Fan said.
Seeing that Su Bei was approaching a residential building, he instructed again, "Turn on Spirit Suppressor No. 2 as well!"
"Got it," Wen Cai ordered it to be done.
Having completed everything, Ning Fan put away his phone and binoculars and quickly ran downstairs.
In the residence, Deputy Captain Meng and Li Hui were on high alert, their eyes fixed on the window.
They were nervous too.
After all, the opponent was a [Hundred Soul Level]. No matter how strong they were, they were just slightly more powerful ordinary people.
Without using Soul Servants, they wouldn't have any advantage.
Whoosh!
An arrow of light shot in from outside the window!
It hit the pillow on the bed next to the two men with pinpoint accuracy.
That position was where someone should have been sleeping.
It was the merchant who had spoken up for Zhou Hao earlier.
This Su Bei was too direct.
He had come back with the intention to kill.
In less than five seconds, another light arrow appeared.
It hit the exact same spot as before.
Two arrows, leaving only one hole!
Cold sweat dripped down Li Hui's face.
Su Bei's light arrows were too accurate.
Two arrows fired in such a dark environment, and they hit the same spot without any deviation!
But...
Why did he shoot twice?
Was he worried that one arrow wouldn't be enough to kill?
Just as the two were puzzled, Su Bei's laughter came from outside the window.
"Hahaha! I underestimated you guys!"
Su Bei laughed arrogantly, "There's actually someone with a brain among you! You even guessed that I would come back?"
"Damn it! He's figured it out!"
Deputy Captain Meng's heart sank!
The people in the room had naturally been moved away.
The original plan was that after Su Bei fired his arrows, he would come in to check.
Since Su Bei excelled at long-range attacks, once he entered the room, the advantage of his Soul Servant wouldn't be as prominent.
Deputy Captain Meng and Li Hui, who had been lying in wait, could completely catch him off guard, and the Monitors lying in ambush around could surround him during this time.
Moreover, Spirit Suppressors had already been set up around this building.
It would take about seventeen more minutes for them to be fully activated.
Even if they couldn't defeat him, as long as they could stall until the Spirit Suppressors were fully activated, Su Bei wouldn't be able to use his [Hundred Soul Level] Soul Servant anymore.
But now, Su Bei hadn't even come in!
Deputy Captain Meng understood why he had fired two arrows.
Su Bei...
He had killed too many people!
The sound of light arrows hitting people...
It wasn't right!
So, he tried a second arrow!
And after confirming that neither arrow had hit anyone, this clever madman immediately understood.
He had been ambushed.
"Deputy Meng, what should we do now? Should we chase after him?"
Li Hui gripped his blade tighter, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
But just as he finished asking, he saw Deputy Captain Meng's body suddenly dodge to the side, while also kicking him in the lower back!
Bang!!
The wall behind them instantly cracked!
