Eldritch Horror Theatre - Ch. 17: Eat My Spear
Professional!
Back in the Warehouse, Fu Qian was still relishing the assassination attempt just now.
The one who formulated the plan was clearly a professional; it was a perfect interlocking chain.
First, they used Hypnosis on the maid next to the target, attempting to quietly eliminate the target using poison.
Once that failed, there was still a Beyonder waiting in ambush outside as a backup, using the maid to lock onto the position for a one-hit instant kill.
It really wasn't easy for Eldest Miss Wen to stay alive!
[Sanity Value minus 1, entering Containment Scene]
While sighing with emotion, Fu Qian touched the fog door again.
This time, he repeated his old trick, kicking a stone pillar until it broke, and following the crowd to slip into the villa.
Kicking the door open and entering the room again, Wen Li was indeed still drinking soup.
"Stop!"
Fu Qian roared furiously, once again firing an Air Bullet to blast the bowl in Wen Li's hand, drenching the eldest miss from head to toe.
As for the maid named Fang Ting, Fu Qian still didn't choose to kill her directly, but let her be controlled by Wen Xiuxian's subordinates once again.
What if this woman died instantly and the people outside quietly slipped away?
He was still waiting for the attack from outside.
In order to have the Stone Giant launch an attack at the same time and from the same direction, he even chose the exact same pillar to kick.
Now, everything was proceeding according to the script.
Fu Qian silently counted the time.
"Why? Who sent you?"
"I don't know... I really didn't..."
Wen Xiuxian and the maid once again reached the fatal dialogue stage. Following a howl, just as the maid lunged at Wen Li, Fu Qian made his move.
He rushed up before the middle-aged man surnamed Ji and kicked Wen Li flying into the corner.
"How dare you!"
Father Wen's eyes nearly split open. He let out a furious roar and rushed to the fallen Wen Li's side.
The middle-aged man surnamed Ji arrived at this moment, silently throwing a punch toward Fu Qian.
This was more like it. It was much stronger than that non-mainstream Little Wolf Girl.
Although it looked ordinary, the power behind the middle-aged man's strike was far beyond what the one holding Razor Blades could compare to.
Fu Qian neither dodged nor evaded, meeting the opponent's punch without hesitation.
A ferocious force transmitted over. Fu Qian's body shook, and his arm throbbed slightly.
Interesting. This is the first character capable of making him lose HP.
Of course, the middle-aged man surnamed Ji fared even worse. The powerful force from the clash caused him to stagger back three steps. A flush rose to his face, indicating he was already injured.
Unable to hide the shock on his face, the middle-aged man was just about to say something when a massive rumbling sound echoed the next moment. The white stone pillar pierced through the wall, smashing into the spot where Wen Li had originally been standing.
Gravel splattered, and dust flew in the air.
Wen Xiuxian, who had been roaring while holding Wen Li, suddenly fell silent, staring blankly at the stone pillar embedded in the floor.
If he had been a fraction of a second slower just now, Wen Li wouldn't have had a complete corpse left.
"This is..."
Fu Qian ignored the bewildered old father and instead grabbed the stone pillar.
The quality is really good. It doesn't even have a single crack after being abused like this.
While praising it, he took a deep breath.
The next moment, Fu Qian exerted force with his entire body, forcefully pulling the stone pillar out of the wall.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone around, Fu Qian struck a dashing pose and hurled the stone pillar back the way it came.
The stone pillar transformed into a javelin once again, instantly crossing dozens of meters of sky.
Outside the villa, that Stone Giant was currently performing the "Invulnerable to Pain" technique. Hearing the howling wind, he was horrified to discover that the stone pillar he had thrown was flying back.
A rock-covered body boasted formidable defense, but its flaw was a lack of agility.
Even though he tried his best to dodge, his right leg was still squarely hit, forcefully smashed into two pieces.
Amidst the flying debris, a red liquid symbolizing blood finally splattered out.
The Stone Giant crashed down, falling heavily to the ground.
At the same time, following the thrown stone pillar, Fu Qian also jumped out through the large hole in the wall.
It seemed to have sensed the danger.
Although one leg was shattered, the Stone Giant hadn't completely lost its combat capability. With a muffled roar, it grabbed a car and ruthlessly smashed it against another stone pillar.
The stone pillar instantly snapped into several pieces, and the luxury car was completely totaled.
Looks a bit familiar!
Looking closely, that seemed to be Young Master Ye's car.
This car truly had a rough fate. Wasn't it totaled by the Little Wolf Girl last time?
Crackle.
The stone fragments littering the ground seemed to come alive, rapidly converging on the Stone Giant's leg.
A bizarre new leg quickly took shape. The stone man barely recovered its mobility, struggling to get up and run towards the lake.
Trying to run?
Fu Qian, who had chased him out, kicked and snapped another stone pillar beside him, aimed, and threw it.
Boom!
The following scene could only be described as tragic.
The Stone Giant's back was solidly hit by the flying javelin. Under the powerful impact, the entire person was directly smashed flat onto the ground, completely losing the ability to move.
A sound of cracking rocks echoed as the stone plates attached to the Stone Giant's body peeled off piece by piece, revealing a naked man wearing only underwear.
The naked man lay face down on the ground, seemingly having lost consciousness.
The bodyguards closest to him immediately surrounded him.
Fu Qian didn't go up to join the crowd; he even put down the other stone pillar in his hands.
His intuition told him it wouldn't be this simple.
The next moment, an explosive sound erupted from the flat ground. The group of bodyguards surrounding the naked man all clutched their heads and collapsed to the ground.
The only person left standing supported the unconscious naked man and dove headfirst into the water.
Sure enough, there were accomplices, and they had even infiltrated the bodyguards long ago.
"Just who exactly are you, and what is going on?"
Wen Xiuxian and his group finally chased them out at this time.
He was a notable figure after all. Having lost his initial shock, he looked at Fu Qian and spoke in a deep voice.
Fu Qian glanced behind him; the middle-aged man surnamed Ji was shielding Wen Li, Young Master Ye, and the others behind him.
At least he has some brains, knowing to bring everyone together to avoid the 'lure the tiger out of the mountain' tactic.
Aside from a pale face, Eldest Miss Wen seemed to be fine.
That kick just now seemed ferocious, but considering the Eldest Miss's physical constitution, Fu Qian had carefully controlled his strength from the start.
A blunder like kicking her to death would absolutely never happen; at most, she'd break a leg.
"Is this your attitude towards your daughter's savior?"
Faced with Wen Xiuxian's question, Fu Qian snorted and stood with his hands behind his back.
This was an irrefutable fact. Wen Xiuxian's expression shifted several times before he finally exhaled and thanked him formally.
"You're welcome. I was just entrusted by someone. Someone doesn't want her to die."
Fu Qian laughed up at the sky, posing as a master.
"Entrusted by someone?"
Wen Xiuxian's eyebrows twitched, his eyes filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
"May I ask who it is?"
"There!"
Fu Qian pointed at Team Leader Gu.
"It's him."
"I am an elite member of Team Leader Gu's team."
...
"This person has an unknown background. We can't trust him."
Not to mention Wen Xiuxian being dumbfounded, Young Master Ye couldn't hold back anymore at this moment, stepping up to furiously assert his presence.
"The attacker clearly fell to the ground just now, yet he let him go. Maybe they are in cahoots and putting on an act."
"Heaven cares for all living things. I, Fu, simply do not wish to commit unnecessary slaughter."
Fu Qian sneered and spouted nonsense.
In reality, he really didn't want to pursue them that much just now.
It's only with the existence of assassins that a master like himself holds value. His mission was to ensure leveling up, not just surviving.
If he really beat the guy to death, a seasoned veteran like Wen Xiuxian would probably instantly start getting ideas.
As for why he struck so ruthlessly despite not wanting to kill?
That bastard caused him to waste 1 Sanity Value. Dying ten thousand times wouldn't absolve him of the blame.
"I trust him."
At this moment, a weak voice drifted over. The genius girl Wen Li spoke up for the first time.
