The atmosphere in the room, which should have been warm, was suddenly filled with killing intent.
Luo Chen looked at Jin Suyan with great interest, while Jin Suyan also looked towards Luo Chen with a cold smile.
“Not bad. I quite admire you.” The voice coming from Jin Suyan’s mouth was no longer Jin Suyan’s, but a man’s voice. And the Jin Suyan held in Luo Chen’s hand quickly turned into a puddle of mercury-like liquid that rolled directly onto the floor.
Finally, it slowly condensed into a person. That man wore a black suit, dressed very neatly and smartly, but there was an overbearing look in his eyes.
And he casually leaned back on the sofa, crossing his legs, not caring about Luo Chen at all, as if Luo Chen was already in his grasp, at his mercy. Luo Chen also found it interesting. This should be an assassin who had just disguised himself as Jin Suyan, but had not deceived him.
“To be honest, I am very conflicted right now. I admire you on one hand, yet I have to kill you on the other.” That man’s attitude was arrogant, with a lofty air. As a level three Esper, he had already seen that Luo Chen seemed to be close to reaching level one.
But even a level one Esper had absolutely no power to fight back before a level three Esper. They were simply not comparable. The gap between Esper levels was like heaven and earth. So this man’s expression was filled with arrogance, directly ignoring Luo Chen.
“Perhaps I can help you make a choice.” Luo Chen truly did not care too much, turning his head to look at that man.
“Oh?” That man chuckled lightly. He was not satisfied with Luo Chen’s attitude. This was not the attitude a level one Esper should have when seeing a level three Esper.
“I advise you to think clearly before speaking. You should be able to see the gap between you and me. Then you should understand what kind of existence you are speaking to.” That man deliberately reminded, his expression revealing a thick confidence.
“Nothing to consider. You do not need to be conflicted either. I will just kill you directly. Would that not be better?” Luo Chen smiled and spoke. But that man shook his head, as if he had heard the greatest joke, then put on a sighing appearance.
“Alas, what a pity. I originally planned to let you off, give you a chance, let you work by my side in the future, but you kept provoking me.”
“I thought you could recognise the current situation, but it seems I overestimated you.” That man’s fingers lightly flicked, and the surrounding energy began to tremble, as if it would explode at any moment.
“You have not even reached level one as an Esper, yet you dare speak to a level three Esper like this? Before you die, I will give you a piece of advice. In your next life, do not fail to recognise your own status again.” That man spoke coldly, while already standing up.
In his view, killing an Esper not even at level one was really just a matter of moving his fingers.
After the man stood up, the surrounding energy instantly solidified. That man carried an expression of confidence.
“I will also give you a piece of advice. As an assassin, you should have investigated your target clearly.” Luo Chen slowly spoke. This person probably had not even investigated his true identity clearly before rashly coming to kill him.
“Also, as an assassin, you speak far too much.”
“Hmph, what big talk. A person not even at level one is actually teaching me, a level three Esper?” That man mocked. At the same time, that man made up his mind. Before killing Luo Chen, he would definitely torture Luo Chen severely.
“Let me show you just how terrifying a level three Esper is, and let you understand clearly what kind of existence you are speaking to.” That man casually snapped his fingers. The surrounding air instantly solidified. Luo Chen’s room slowly began to turn dark.
Finally, the entire room became a cage. Chains of iron bound Luo Chen, directly wrapping around him.
The cage was not large, but everywhere were skeletons, everywhere were human heads. At least over a hundred of them, densely packed.
And that man let out a cold laugh, looking at the bound Luo Chen, his face showing satisfaction.
“How about it? Scared?”
“These are all people I have killed.”
“Now, do you understand the gap between you and me?” That man slowly walked before Luo Chen.
Luo Chen shook the chains. The chains did not move an inch.
That man immediately spoke with a mocking expression.
“Hmph, do not waste your effort. Once controlled by my move, even a level three Esper cannot break free. You, a mere person not even at”
“Boom!”
Before that man finished speaking, Luo Chen had already broken free of the chains, then once again directly grabbed the other party’s neck.
“You?” That man’s face was full of shock, his expression filled with disbelief. This person had not even reached level one. How could he possibly break free of his chains?
“What kind of thing are you? You actually wanted to give me a chance, let me work for you?” Luo Chen let out a cold laugh.
“You are not an Esper?” That man suddenly revealed a look of horror. Only now did he understand.
“You did not even investigate clearly before daring to come kill me?” Luo Chen shook his head, then directly exerted force with a sudden crunch, crushing the other party’s neck.
Just at this moment, the knocking sounded again. Luo Chen pushed open the door and found Jin Suyan standing outside.
“Good morning, Mr Luo. This is the breakfast I specially prepared for you.” Jin Suyan bowed slightly, handing the food box to Luo Chen with both hands.
“Let’s eat outside.” Luo Chen casually closed the door and directly left with Jin Suyan.
Luo Chen did not interrogate that assassin about who had sent him to kill him.
Because Luo Chen felt that this matter might be far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.
This trip to Fushan, whether saving Professor An or protecting the Rong family, Luo Chen was not particularly concerned about either. What truly made Luo Chen concerned was that crystal skull, and the so-called Horror Game.
Luo Chen estimated that perhaps experts had already arrived in Fushan.
The morning’s events did not affect Luo Chen’s mood. Instead, he played outside with Jin Suyan for the entire day.
Only when night fell did Luo Chen return to the Carlton Hotel.
He had just returned when the phone rang.
“Hello, Teacher Luo, where are you?” Zhou Lili called right on time.
“What is it?” Luo Chen asked.
“Today is my birthday, so we have arranged a banquet at the Carlton Hotel in downtown Fushan. Where are you? I will send someone to pick you up?” Zhou Lili considerately spoke.
“No need. I will come myself.” Luo Chen smiled. They were actually holding the banquet at his hotel.
And he happened to be at the hotel right now. He just needed to go downstairs.
On the other end of the phone, Feng Huizi and Zhou Lili were together.
“Let’s go. Teacher Luo said he will come himself.” Zhou Lili spoke.
“Alright.” Feng Huizi did not say much, but directly sent a message to Che Zaijun.
“Good. Let’s see how he can get off the stage today.”
