Chapter 84 The Darkness Dissipates
Time passed second by second.
Scarface was squatting in the corner.
Lin Yue counted the time.
The fox woman took the axe and stared intently at Scarface.
It was almost midnight before we knew it.
Lin Yue looked at 00:01 on her phone.
It's past midnight.
He quickly drew back the curtains and looked outside.
He saw the darkness that had enveloped the building gradually dissipate, and he could even see the sparse starlight in the sky and the distant, glowing skyscrapers.
"You can go out now," Lin Yue said.
The fox-like woman said to the scarred man, "Alright, let's go."
Scarface then stood up meekly, wanting to follow behind them.
But the fox-woman glared at her and said, "You go first!"
Scarface had no choice but to lead the way.
The three of them opened the door.
We came out into the hallway.
The fox-like woman stared at the lingering darkness in the building, a chill running down her spine. "Weren't we told we could leave? Why is the building still...like this?"
Lin Yue said calmly, "It just means we can leave on our own, but it doesn't mean we're completely safe. If we want to get to the door, we still have to rely on ourselves."
The fox woman was speechless for a moment.
With no other option, they could only continue walking outside.
They quickly went down to the first floor.
The main entrance door on the first floor was indeed open.
However, they saw a figure mopping the floor at the door.
A black uniform and a baseball cap with "Pingxiangyuan" written on it.
His skin was a bluish-black corpse color, and next to him was a bucket that looked full of water. He was holding a blood-stained mop and sweeping the ground.
"Swish—swish—"
The harsh sound of mopping the floor.
This caused all three of them to experience uncontrollable eyelid twitching.
This is the same full-time employee who used to mop the floor.
Such a terrifying evil spirit is now blocking the main entrance.
"That owner never intended to release us! He's just playing us like mice!" The fox-woman gritted her teeth.
How can anyone get out like this?!
She remembered it clearly: as soon as she got close to that monster, her head would be put into that bucket of water.
This is a rule-based kill that is almost impossible to avoid!
Lin Yue's face beneath the mask was equally pitch black.
But he did not give up.
"Let's go over there first."
We were almost at the door.
When we were only five meters away from the blood-stained ground.
He said directly to the scarred man standing in front of him, whose expression was obscured, "You, go over there."
Hearing this cold command.
Scarface was utterly shocked, raising his finger and angrily saying, "You're sending me to my death!"
Lin Yue pulled out her gun and said coldly, "Isn't this exactly what you wanted to do to us? I haven't even actually cut off your hand yet, which is much more humane than what you did, isn't it?"
"Damn it!" Scarface cursed under his breath.
But when he looked at the floor cleaner at the door, his body trembled with fear.
No, if we go there, we'll definitely die!
However, this kid has a gun in his hand; if he doesn't go, he's doomed too.
Two fears were constantly battling within Scarface.
Ignoring everything else, Lin Yue immediately began the chilling countdown.
"One, two..."
Scarface's eyes instantly turned fierce.
Between two evils, choose the lesser.
Compared to that emotionless demon, this kid is much gentler!
Without thinking, he pounced on Lin Yue, limbs outstretched, tongue lolling out of his mouth, looking like a vicious dog with nowhere to run.
"snort."
Lin Yue let out a cold laugh.
He has an agility of 1.5, which is a top-tier athlete-level attribute.
What kind of bullshit sixth-dan kendo is that? I'd be a little afraid of you if I had a weapon.
Now everyone is unarmed.
I'll show you what the beauty of numbers really means!
He couldn't even be bothered to use a gun.
The muscles in his foot suddenly bulged, and a swift front kick was suddenly unleashed.
"call--!"
Extremely fast kicking speed.
It even made the air whistle and hum.
Scarface was taken aback. How could this kid be so fast?!
"Bang--!"
The hard sole struck the center of the scarred man's stomach.
The force was so great that it even caused his back to bulge out for a moment.
He kept backing away, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his stomach, until he finally stopped after hitting a hard wall.
Scarface's eyes just now flashed with intense anger.
"Son of a bitch!"
But then I could feel the cold touch on my back.
His body seemed frozen, completely stiffened.
He slowly lowered his head.
At his feet lay thick, sticky blood, and behind his heels were a pair of black work shoes.
The shoes worn by full-time employees.
In other words, the wall he was leaning against was actually that ruthless demon who killed people like flies.
Scarface immediately became terrified, reaching out and shouting, "Wait, help..."
However, he hadn't finished speaking.
The surrounding darkness swelled slightly.
The head of the scarred mask disappeared from the shoulder and appeared in the bucket next to it.
The headless body slumped to the ground.
He was killed by a demon.
In that very instant.
Lin Yue started moving.
His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his attention was focused to the limit.
Judging from what just happened, the scarred man didn't die the moment he encountered the evil spirit, but lost his head in the instant the surrounding darkness surged around him.
Previously, when I suddenly encountered a full-time employee at a corner, I managed to stab the evil spirit with the Heart-Slicing Knife before it could make a move, thus stopping the demon.
This can be seen from these two points.
Even though getting close to this evil spirit will result in inexplicable death.
However, this ability is closer to an "active" skill than a "passive" skill.
Simply put, every time an evil spirit wants to kill someone, it needs to actively open the door in order to do what it just did.
And it had just killed someone.
Regardless of whether this skill has a cooldown.
When it activates its ability again, there will be a brief vacuum period, which may be half a second or a second. This is not determined by the evil spirit itself, but by the interval between the two activations of its ability.
Want to get closer to that guy,
Attribute points!
Agility: 1.6-1.7.
Burst acceleration, activate!
Agility: 1.7-3.4.
He unleashed unimaginable speed, breaking through the limits of human physical ability in a mere instant.
He stomped his right foot forward hard.
"boom--"
A clear footprint was left on the ground.
Using this powerful reaction force, Lin Yue transformed into a blurry black shadow, traversing several meters in less than a second.
The fox woman was so frightened by this sight that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
This is too fast!
In her vision, Lin Yue seemed to teleport, and she couldn't even see the movements in between.
Who exactly is this person?!
Lin Yue pulled out the Heart-Slicing Blade. At the extreme speed, everything seemed to slow down. The regular employees seemed to notice his arrival immediately, and the surrounding darkness began to encircle him.
But it had already slowed down by a fraction of a second in its attempt to kill.
It was too late for darkness.
At this moment, Lin Yue seized this fleeting opportunity that was absolutely impossible to grasp, and with a speed that no human could match, she charged into that blood-red forbidden zone of life.
The Heart-Slicing Knife, carrying a chilling killing intent, was thrust out with force.
"Pfft—"
It hit the full-time employee squarely in the chest.
A sharp, stabbing pain shot through Lin Yue's abdomen, and her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.
As the power of the Heart-Slicing Knife took effect, the darkness surrounding the official employees was weakened and suppressed, and for a moment they were unable to move.
Lin Yue endured the pain and quickly yelled at the stunned fox woman, "What are you still standing there for?! Let's get out of here!"
