Chapter 365: Missing 2?
A few minutes later, outside the LA City People's Hospital, Jin Huanzhong sat in the back seat of his Maybach, speaking coldly into the earpiece: "Alright, by now you should all have entered the LA City People's Hospital. Next, report your numbers according to the sequence I arranged beforehand. The enemy this time is very strong, so don't let your guard down!"
To ensure the success of this operation, all forty disciples were remotely commanded by Jin Huanzhong, stationed outside the LA City People's Hospital. This way, he could not only control internal information at the fastest pace but also implement various effective responses immediately!
"Understood!"
After Jin Huanzhong's words, the disciples quickly responded in the earpiece, followed by a series of voices reporting their numbers. Although each voice was extremely low, the numbers were still clearly heard.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Seconds later, after hearing everyone's numbers through the earpiece, Jin Huanzhong raised a question, having noticed an issue from the reporting!
That is, he deployed a total of forty disciples for this operation, but only thirty-eight responded during the count, with two disciples missing any response!
Before the operation, Jin Huanzhong had repeatedly stressed that they must respond to the number reporting. Everyone had agreed at that time, so under these circumstances, Jin Huanzhong instantly thought that the two disciples might have already met with misfortune!
"Damn it!"
Thinking of this, Jin Huanzhong cursed under his breath, then spoke: "Now, everyone forms pairs and immediately start looking for the target's whereabouts!"
In his words, Jin Huanzhong was decisive and firm, revealing the slightest hint of authority mixed with cold intent.
Even he hadn't expected that his extremely covert operation had already been detected by Lu Yu from the very start!
"Understood!"
Upon hearing Jin Huanzhong's orders, a unified response sounded in the earpiece, followed by silence once more.
"Lu Yu, do you think that just because you've detected our operation you can safely escape?"
At this moment, Jin Huanzhong muttered coldly to himself: "Even if you took out two people, our numbers are thirty-eight times yours. You cannot escape!"
…
Meanwhile, in the pitch-black hospital, Lu Yu was now hidden in a notably dark corner. Upon hearing Jin Huanzhong's deployment over the earpiece, a cold smile appeared on his face.
Knowing the opponent's deployment, he immediately seized the initiative, so now his heart was without panic; instead, he felt even more intrigued!
Lu Yu at this moment was like a hunter lurking in the darkness, and the remaining thirty-eight disciples were evidently his prey!
Sand, sand, sand
As the cold smile appeared on Lu Yu's face, slight footsteps suddenly came from not far away!
It was deep night, and the slight footsteps in the dark hospital seemed both near and far, making the already uneasy atmosphere even more sinister.
Six men dressed in black were carefully searching for Lu Yu's figure, and while they searched, nobody noticed that the person in the back was suddenly grabbed by the neck, his mouth quickly covered by a hand, and dragged into a dark corner!
In the instant he was dragged into the dark corner, the man began to struggle desperately, but even so, with his neck gripped and his mouth and nose forcefully covered, he couldn't exert any strength. His arms waved feebly but could not make a sound to alert his companions!
Within seconds, the man's eyes began to fill with blood, and then his entire body seemed to be drained of all strength, legs splayed out, as he ceased to breathe!
It all happened silently, without attracting any attention!
The group didn't realize that one of their companions was dead, and continued to move forward, each person's heart filled with inexplicable oppression, making them extremely uncomfortable!
One must know, in such a dark and sinister environment, fear and unease deep within hearts are easily aroused. Additionally, the prior disappearance of two companions filled each one with an inexplicable sense of ominousness.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the leading man among them sniffed the air, swiftly holding his knife across his chest, and spoke: "Stay alert!"
Upon hearing this voice, the remaining four instantly drew their knives across their chests, their eyes showing a trace of coldness!
Though they hadn't seen Lu Yu, they smelled a strong, pervasive scent of blood in the air!
Upon smelling the blood, the lead man suddenly looked down, his scalp prickling!
Because right before him on the ground, in the dim light, lay a puddle of dark red blood!
Clearly, the strong scent of blood came from this puddle!
With the earlier disappearance of two companions and now the discovery of bloodstains on the ground, it was enough to confirm that the two had indeed met their fate here!
This realization sent another chill up everyone's spine!
Because they suddenly noticed that the place only had bloodstains but no bodies!
Two people died but their bodies were nowhere to be seen. At this moment, an inexplicable sense of eeriness surged up within them, causing their hairs to stand on end and goosebumps to form on their skin!
"Where are the bodies?! Where have the bodies gone?"
A man spoke lowly, unable to hide the panic in his voice!
Bloodstains without bodies, the scene was indeed too bizarre!
The remaining men were deep in fear and hadn't even realized that of their original six, one had silently vanished into the darkness!
And while they stayed in fear, a shadow crept towards them under the cover of darkness, quietly and steadily!
That shadow moved like an Evil Spirit roaming the darkness, light and silent, yet its eyes bore a cold intent of killing!
