Clearly already arrived but wouldnt answer, is she crazy?

The young man mumbled in a low voice.

As a Professionist, Liu Shi Mans hearing is extremely good, so the mumbling of the young man didnt escape her ears at all.

But she wasnt the least bit angry, instead calmly observing the area.

With the 360 degree 3D projection, she was able to see every detail of whats happening outside the shuttle.

Theres no new shuttles landing, no one leaving from having finished their meals, there wasnt even a car passing by on the road.

This is the safest moment.

Liu Shi Man slowly rubbed the golden ring on her finger, burst out laughing silently and shook her head.

The young man came to the door, yelling: Your order is here, please receive it

Liu Shi Mans order was a bit large so he was already breathing a bit heavily from bringing it all this way.

From the way he looks, it seems he doesnt intend to bring it up, instead of waiting for her to come down and get it.

But Liu Shi Man is definitely not coming down!

Come up here, quickly she ordered.

The young man sighed, then said: Please tell me your caller ID

Liu Shi Man told him the unconscious mans number.

Fine

The young man had no choice but to carry the big boxes up.

When he came in, he was slightly shocked.

Because the shuttles owner was standing on the other side of the shuttle, staring at him.

Crazy

The young man muttered quietly, then placed the food boxes onto the table in the shuttle.

He quickly put everything out.

Then he glanced at her and said: I wish you a wonderful meal

After saying so, he instantly turned to leave, not sparing a single moment.

Looking at his back, Liu Shi Man thought about how she has at least a couple dozen ways to kill him instantly at this angle.

When the delivery man was about to walk through the door, a rock lance has silently appeared in her hand.

She readied herself to throw it.

At the same time, her Earth Elemental power was still focused on her fingertips, ready to activate the ring at any time.

In the very second

The young man left the shuttle and didnt even bother to turn back. Making clang clang sounds with his shoes as he walked down the shuttle stairs.

He really did leave.

In fact, he was hurrying back to the restaurant as soon as he got off the shuttle.

He looked like he was in a rush.

-ah right, he still has to clean the store.

So hes perfectly fine as well?

Seems like it.

Liu Shi Man shook her head, finally feeling that shes a bit too paranoid.

The rock lance disappeared in her hands.

Looking at the massive amount of food on the table, she couldnt help but gulp.

As she walked to the table to eat, she found that the dashboard of the steering wheel was blinking.

Whats the problem? Liu Shi Man asked.

[Not enough fuel to reach appointed destination, please make sure to refuel] the electronic voice replied.

I know Liu Shi Man answered in annoyance.

As she opened the box of food, the first thing she did was scan it with a device she had on hand, waited until it turned up a green light before eating.

While she wolfed down the food, she was thinking about how to refuel the shuttle.

To refuel, she would have to go into a large-scale energy station, at which point the station will scan the shuttles owner certificate.

Which means, it wont be long until someone found that this was a missing shuttle from the data scanned at the energy station.

Thats not the only issue.

Once she enters the station, theres a chance that hackers might be able to gain access to the shuttles GPS system, thus finding out her location and destination.

Liu Shi Man couldnt think of any method to circumvent this all the way until she was full.

Outside, the restaurant door opened.

The girl called Tong Tong walked out.

Dont play too hard, make sure to get home early her fathers advisory voice came.

Youre so nosy, I want to play a bit longer, I want to go overnight!

The girl seems to be in her rebellious phase and protested.

The father wasnt able to get through to her, so he just sighed.

A few people in the restaurant were laughing without malice at that.

The girl quickly went to the shuttle and climbed in.

Starting it up, the girl took out a Holo-Brain and spoke with her friends on the other side of the screen.

The other side was clearly having a party, the music was very loud, you could almost see the girls and boys dancing to it.

A few young girls wearing fashionable clothes were on the other side of the screen, raising a bottle of liquor and spoke to Tong Tong.

Come quick, come quick, youre late already one of them said.

Ill be there soon, just wait a bit

Well give you a time limit, if you havent come yet when thats up, well leave for the after-party party!

After saying so, an image of a clock face appeared on Tong Tongs Holo-Brains screen.

The clock hands were ticking.

Thats barely 10 minutes! You guys are mean!

Tong Tong exclaimed, but quickly arranged the route on her GPS system.

She doesnt notice at all how theres a person already standing behind her inside the shuttle, silently watching all this.

Liu Shi Man stopped watching and silently pushed opened the bag on the back.

An eye-catching cup reflected in Liu Shi Mans eyes the same cup in the news article she saw.

Some text was carved on the cup: First place Fu Ning village wind instrument competition

Next to the cup was a metal flute.

There were some words carved on the flute as well: A gift to Tong Tong, hoping that she will keep doing her best

After seeing all of them, Liu Shi Man silently returned the bag to its place.

This was a civilian shuttle so its very unassuming, and there wont be anyone looking for it in the next few hours.

Everyone saw clearly how Tong Tong didnt want to go home just now.

That being the case, even if shes a little late, her parents might worry, or get a bit angry, but they wont think too much of it.

This is a small village, so the shuttle is unlike those in large cities that have an interconnecting network array of safety monitoring devices.

-Ill just kill her then dump her body in a lake, no more worries along the journey.

Thinking so, Liu Shi Man raised her hand.

Earth Elemental power was concentrated into a sharp rock dagger, held tightly in her hand.

She raised the dagger.

In that moment, a figure appeared behind her.

The figure didnt let out any sound and didnt emit any presence, like it was nothing but air.

Liu Shi Man completely didnt notice.

In front of Liu Shi Man, Tong Tong was concentrated on looking at her Holo-Brain.

While the figure behind Liu Shi Man did nothing but stare at both of the girls movements.

Liu Shi Man moved!

The sharp rock dagger was aimed straight at the young girls nape.

If she receives this, shell die instantly without being able to utter a sound.

Her body will be thrown into some unknown lake, and her parents will never see her again.

In that very moment, like a silent flash, three things happened at the same time

Tong Tong didnt turn around but used two fingers to tightly grip the blade of the dagger.

A black skull appeared from thin air.

And Liu Shi Man was lightly tapped on the shoulder.

FUCK!

Liu Shi Mans alarms instantly rang as she immediately tried to activate the ring to teleport away.

But the light tap made her entire body shake uncontrollably.

As if struck by lightning, her body became stiff, unable to move even the tiniest bit of power.

At the same time, the black skull opened its mouth and bit her hand.

Her hand was instantly charred black, the only thing unharmed was the golden ring.

The second hand of the clock on the Holo-Brain ticked once.

A streak of blood-red light quickly descended, grabbed Liu Shi Man by the neck and flew away.

The mission was over.

The figure that stood behind Liu Shi Man suddenly knelt down and coughed.

Tong Tong stood up and offered: Mr. Gu, should I help you?

No need, Ill get him a clear charming female voice came.

Anna appeared at the shuttle door.

The three of them returned to Liu Shi Mans shuttle and opened the trunk.

The man who was knocked unconscious before was sitting there, smoking a cigar.

Hello

Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao greeted each other.
