Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Sniper Success? Sniper Failure?

Even if you travel to a new world, Murphy’s Law still exists.

The more you fear something, the more it will happen.

Su Xin wandered the streets for nearly an hour using consecutive teleports, and even swapped to a different area with fixed-point teleportation, yet during this time, he didn’t encounter a single crime.

“So many criminals, scared off by just me alone?”

“Impossible, right?”

“I didn’t even go all out against those bad guys, at most I just inflicted minor injuries. Are those punks and gang members really so scared, that they’ve all gone into hiding?”

Su Xin looked at the empty, wide street with a hint of helplessness, secretly troubled.

It’s already past midnight, and the pedestrians and vehicles on the road are becoming fewer and fewer, which means fewer opportunities for vigilantism.

“Do I need to change to another city?”

“Maybe it’s worth a try.”

“I now have the Instant Teleportation Withdrawal ability, and can teleport consecutively a dozen times to see if I can appear in a nearby city.”

“If not, just return to the starting point.”

“If I do, then withdraw one by one, slowly memorizing all the waypoints, and teleport to those waypoints again.”

“That’s right, this definitely works!”

Su Xin slowly made up his mind.

The reason he wants to try this, to find a route with fewer waypoints, is mainly to avoid too many Random Instant Teleports to reach a nearby city, requiring memory of too many waypoints, which simply exceeds his memory capacity.

After all, he’s just an ordinary person, unlike a camera that can quickly capture…

“Hmm? Camera…”

Su Xin’s gaze suddenly fixed, his eyes widened little by little, and he finally patted his forehead.

“I completely forgot about cameras!”

“How foolish I am!”

“Why didn’t I think of using a camera to take pictures of each Random Instant Teleport location? With photos to assist memory, it’d be much easier!”

“I stupidly spent a whole day memorizing seventy-two locations, and teleported to these places daily, not daring to memorize too many more locations for fear of memory overload?”

“If I had thought of using a camera sooner, would it have been so troublesome? Would there be so many restrictions?”

Just as Su Xin was immersed in his thoughts.

From behind a distant corner of a wall, a car silently stopped, its window opened, and a long black gun barrel extended out.

Finally seeing Su Xin stop moving, the sniper fully armed inside the car acted without hesitation, following the directions given by his superior—

Aim directly, and shoot!

The golden bullet almost instantaneously covered a distance of over two hundred meters, piercing through the arm clad in a black robe.

Through the scope, the sniper clearly saw a huge blood flower burst from the black robe’s arm, and the entire forearm almost instantly exploded.

“Hit!”

The sniper was delighted at heart.

After Captain Ma’s death, Captain Lin, who succeeded his mission, ordered that since luring black robe into compliance didn’t work and there was no safe way to capture him, they should be more aggressive.

Launch a direct long-range ambush and injure him.

On one hand, this allows them to obtain black robe’s blood; although most people in Wanghai Country don’t have their genetic samples in databases, some useful information can always be found, opening up more possibilities.

On the other hand, with a gunshot wound, the other party will have to seek medical treatment somewhere. As long as he goes to a hospital, Yonghui Financial Group’s influence can basically uncover him.

Even if he doesn’t go to the hospital and has his own secret channels for treatment, his true identity will be exposed during the healing process.

For example, from their suspect list, if someone suddenly disappears or gets injured, this is the best clue to identify the black robe.

Of course.

Despite so many benefits and such certainty, they hadn’t employed this plan before, worrying that black robe’s superpowers might be stronger than imagined, able to teleport too far.

If black robe teleported thousands of miles away to another country, these so-called clues would become meaningless.

It’s impossible to investigate worldwide, isn’t it?

So, this action was indeed a risky decision made by the management responsible for the superpower project within Yonghui Financial Group after discussion.

Since they couldn’t win him over or capture him, this was the only plan left.

“Bang!!”

The gunshot finally echoed through the night sky.

Su Xin also let out a piercing scream.

Overwhelming pain consumed his entire mind as, in that instant, his entire right forearm was almost completely shredded by the sniper bullet, blood and flesh splattered on his body and all over the ground.

He fell forward under the massive impact of the sniper bullet.

Immeasurable pain!

Endless anger!

Boundless killing intent!

Made Su Xin nearly lose his reason.

He barely mustered his strength, drew his handgun, and with difficulty gripped it with his left hand, unlocking the safety, aiming the muzzle at his temple.

Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

“Bang!”

With another gunshot.

Su Xin lost all signs of life.

From the distant car, observing this scene through the scope, the sniper was utterly dumbfounded—

“What is he doing?”

“Ending his own suffering?”

“Did he decisively commit suicide because he feared pain? Should we call him brave or cowardly?”

As the sniper pondered this, he was surprised to see—the figure in the scope suddenly vanished.

“What happened? Didn’t he die?”

“I clearly saw him shoot himself in the temple, he definitely died just now, how could he suddenly disappear?”

The sniper was in utter disbelief.

Just as he was about to ask the driver in the car, he heard the driver’s shocked cry:

“Quick, get away!!”

“Bang!”

Another gunshot.

The sniper, unable to see his surroundings clearly, was shot dead instantly by a bullet from outside the car window.

The driver didn’t have time to think, immediately opened the car door, shrank his figure, and slipped through the door gap before Su Xin fired a second shot.

Responsible for driving the whole time, the driver couldn’t wear night vision equipment, so he hadn’t seen the scenario two hundred meters away clearly, wasn’t aware if black robe had been hit or that black robe went through a death and resurrection cycle.

Plus, the changes happened so quickly, the sniper who saw the sequence of events didn’t have time to report back before being shot dead by Su Xin who resurrected and teleported over.

Therefore, the members of Yonghui Financial Group keeping in contact with these two were still unaware of Su Xin’s resurrection ability.

“Sniper failed, the target killed Hai Lan, he’s about to attack me, requesting support!”

The driver reported calmly while drawing his gun.

By now, Su Xin had put away his handgun, instantly teleporting beside the driver, delivering a fierce punch to his face.

The Finger Tiger’s spikes pierced the driver’s face, tearing off some flesh, leaving deep grooves and causing a gush of blood.
