Chapter 324: Chapter 311: Return

The other party was stunned; this kid was usually quiet and would absolutely never say what he’d just said.

Chen Xiao, with a look of displeasure on his face, snatched the travel bag abruptly.

"It’s even new... and it’s a backpack, with a zipper design... who do you think you are to rob?" he said as he unzipped it and pulled out a handgun and two spring knives from inside the bag.

There’s no need to elaborate on the knives; these things are available everywhere if you are careful enough. Guns, however, need some connections.

"Tsk tsk, a homemade gun! It’s not easy to come by something like this in such a small place," Chen Xiao said, holding the gun in his hand, but then he began to find faults with it again: "This craftsmanship, is it from some rural workshop? Built-in magazine, self-loaded shells... and with all this, you still rob a supermarket? You’d be better off using a fake gun to scare the clerks."

He wore a look of ’hating iron for not becoming steel’.

However, the other party didn’t pay attention to what he was actually saying, just stood there dumbfounded, wondering how this kid had suddenly changed completely.

Seeing the other’s reaction, Chen Xiao, clearly exasperated, spat out, "Go ahead, drive!"

"Huh?" The person was even more baffled.

Chen Xiao had no time to waste, so he aimed the gun at the car seat and fired a shot with a "bang".

...

Yes, he had fired a shot, right there on the main street.

The nearby people all jumped at the noise; but since the sound of a homemade gun is very muffled, no one suspected it was a gunshot. After searching for the source of the noise for a while, they all dispersed.

But the person in the car... was almost scared to urination.

"You you you you—" he stuttered.

"What ’you you,’ stop the nonsense, hurry up and drive, turn right two streets ahead," said Chen Xiao impatiently, nudging him with the gun, "Don’t open the door, crawl over from inside the car!"

"You you... what are you going to do?"

"...Taking you deeper into the rabbit hole."

...

...

Chen Xiao had only 20 minutes, so he didn’t do anything unnecessary. Fortunately, this identity wasn’t far from Bai Xiong’s residence, likely because the ant colony had only established a small space, so each time the identity was swapped, it was still within this small city.

Soon, the two men who were originally planning to rob a bank arrived at the apartment building. By then, the driver had taken off the stockings and had calmed down significantly.

"Bastard, what exactly do you want to do?"

No sooner had he spoken

"Slash—"

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air.

The man, stunned, sucked air into his throat, making an abnormal "huh huh" noise. He realized then that the knife had already sliced through his neck.

"yi....hu..." His hands reflexively clamped around his neck as blood seeped through his fingers, dripping steadily onto the driver’s seat, his mouth trying to speak, but no clear sound came out.

Chen Xiao casually threw the knife back into the travel bag. If he had time, he really wanted to properly teach this guy how to rob a bank, but he didn’t have that spare moment now, so he just stretched his neck, looking at the other’s hands already soaked with blood.

"Move this hand up a bit..." he said, kindly adjusting the person’s finger placement, "Yes, keep it there, this will slow the blood flow. Hang in there, hold on for a bit longer."

While speaking, he patted the other’s shoulder and gestured "hang in there!"

Then he pushed the car door open and rushed into the apartment.

...

Following the stairs, Chen Xiao quickly arrived at Bai Xiong’s doorstep. Not far away, an elderly man who might have just returned from his morning exercise, lingered his gaze on Chen Xiao for an extra second, perhaps because Chen Xiao was a stranger to him. Chen Xiao politely nodded at him, meaning... "Good morning," and then shot at the lock "Bang!"

"Hmm... indeed, having a gun is convenient."

Chen Xiao was quite satisfied, originally he had to figure out how to enter, how to kill, but now he didn’t need to go through those troubles.

He didn’t care whether the old man might have had a heart attack from fright, he kicked open the door, and what followed was a standard scream.

Chen Xiao glared, if it weren’t for seeing Song Xuan’s emaciated appearance inside, he couldn’t have imagined that she could scream like a woman.

Oh well, time was of the essence.

Chen Xiao raised his hand and fired. The homemade bullet exploded right in front of her chest. Since it wasn’t as heavy as standard ammunition, Chen Xiao, still a bit uneasy, went up and stabbed her several times until Song Xuan’s pupils were fully dilated. Then, he nodded...

Then he turned the knife on himself and stabbed it into his own chest.

The whole process was quick, plus a few minutes on the road, this controlled situation was freed in just 10 minutes.

Chen Xiao opened his eyes, the pressure on his neck made him automatically snap awake and he stretched out the belt on his own, possibly because he had developed a habitual thinking path during this period. When he woke up this time, Chen Xiao only took a few deep breaths to recall everything.

He quickly crawled out of the hole and had already tested it out; this tunnel was guarded by two soldier ants at both ends, and as long as no major noise was made, they would not come over, so Chen Xiao ran as fast as he could to the ninth hole on the left, which was the recorded location of Song Xuan on the phone.

Indeed, at this moment, Song Xuan was checking her phone. She noticed Chen Xiao approaching and slightly furrowed her brow... "Are you Chen Xiao?"

"Yes," he responded casually, pointing to the corner of his mouth, the implication being "the way I look, you should have read it on your phone."

At this critical moment, Chen Xiao didn’t waste words and went straight to the point.

"Alright, in a few minutes, your memory will recover, you’ve recorded it on your phone, right? Now, you have a very important task, which is, in 3 to 5 minutes, someone nearby will wake up, I estimate he will scream, or at least make some noise. You must rush over as quickly as possible, kill this person, chop off his head, and it’s best to strike a few more times. Also, you need to stuff your phone into his body so it won’t fall out, then you have 15 seconds to run back to this hole and pretend like nothing happened, continue to lie quietly."

Song Xuan didn’t respond, her hand near the dagger on her thigh, silent and reticent.

"Alright, I know you’re still very wary of me, but..."

Just then!

"Ah!" a short scream, followed by a brief "crashing" sound. One could tell that someone was frantically crawling towards the exit of the cave.

Chen Xiao was startled: "What the heck? That guy died so quickly?"

While Song Xuan still frowned, coldly staring at Chen Xiao.

But he acted as if he hadn’t seen it. "It’s up to you now..." Dropping those words, he ran back to his own niche.

...

Afterward, Song Xuan hesitated for a moment... then drew her dagger.

A shadow lingered in her sight.
