Chapter 89: Chapter 75: Luring to Kill
The air in the living room seemed to freeze.
Lin Yi stood frozen, his brow furrowed and his gaze as sharp as a blade.
’I have to figure out this woman’s motive for getting close to me!’
He muttered to himself.
A chill rose in his heart.
The appearance of this red-haired woman was clearly intentional and stealthy.
It made him more uneasy than Yan Hao’s overt hatred.
She was like a venomous snake hidden in the shadows, watching him without a sound.
And he knew nothing about her motives or background.
’Could it be...’
A possibility flashed through Lin Yi’s mind.
’An accomplice of Yan Hao? Or... the people behind him?’
The fact that Yan Hao had managed to escape the Public Security Bureau’s encirclement was suspicious in itself.
An ordinary Second-Grade Martial Artist, no matter how skilled, shouldn’t have been so slippery when faced with official forces.
Could this red-haired woman have been sent by the organization Yan Hao belonged to?
Was Yan Hao afraid to act himself, or perhaps he hadn’t recovered from his injuries, so he sent someone else to observe, evaluate, or even... make a move?
This speculation made Lin Yi’s heart sink.
If Yan Hao really had an organization behind him, then this was big trouble.
Their methods were clearly stealthier and more professional.
’No matter who you are, if you want to make a move on me, you’d better have what it takes!’
A cold glint flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes, his killing intent flaring.
Waiting passively was not his style.
He made a decision immediately.
Lure the snake from its hole. Seize the initiative.
Since she was watching him, he would give her an opportunity.
An opportunity where he appeared to be alone, off his guard, and far from any crowds.
A plan quickly formed in his mind.
Lin Yi walked to the window and pretended to glance outside casually, as if checking the weather.
In reality, his mind had long since connected to his Mosquito Avatar, firmly locking onto the crimson dot of light in the coffee shop three kilometers away—the dot that represented the red-haired woman.
She was still there; she hadn’t left.
But Lin Yi knew.
She was definitely watching him in secret!
Lin Yi took a deep breath, his gaze becoming incredibly steady.
He drew the Hawk III Energy Pistol from his waist, loaded an Energy Box, and flipped off the safety. The weapon was now active, ready to be drawn and fired at a moment’s notice. He then slid it back into its holster.
However, Lin Yi didn’t move out immediately. A faint pang of hunger reminded him that the more critical the moment, the more important it was to maintain his peak condition.
He turned and walked into the kitchen, deftly preparing some ingredients.
The CLINKING of the spatula against the wok was especially clear in the quiet room, and the aroma of food soon filled the air.
He quietly ate a simple dinner.
However, his Spirit was highly focused, taut as a drawn bowstring.
Deep in his consciousness, the Mosquito Avatar’s invisible Tracking skill was firmly locked onto the red-haired woman!
In the meantime, she had already left the inconspicuous coffee shop.
Like a Ghost, she moved through the city, changing her position several times.
Strangely, every time she moved, she seemed to be circling Lin Yi’s residential complex.
The distance between them, far from increasing, was continuously and silently shrinking!
At this moment, on the sensory map relayed by the Mosquito Avatar, the crimson dot representing her had already closed in on the outskirts of the complex. She was less than 1.5 kilometers away!
’Heh, so you finally can’t hold back anymore? Ready to make your move on me?’
Lin Yi took out his communicator and checked the time. It was already 10 PM.
It was late. Time to put the plan into action!
The next moment, he stood up, picked up his Owl Dragon Long Spear, and walked out the door.
Of course, he couldn’t let the battle take place inside the residential complex.
The apartment building was full of ordinary residents. It was crowded, and a single misstep could harm innocent people. More importantly, it would expose his trump cards.
So Lin Yi planned to leave the city and lure her outside!
That was a proper place for Martial Artists to settle their grudges.
Besides, the Mosquito Avatar could be used to greater effect outside the city.
Feigning weakness?
No!
A cold light flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes.
’This is luring the enemy in deep!’
’This is an invitation into my trap!’
Lin Yi took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within his body.
calories of Qi and Blood!
Firmly a high-stage First-Grade Martial Artist!
Not to mention the tyrannical and bizarre Wave Intent, which was powerful enough to challenge those of a higher grade!
And then there was his Mosquito Avatar, which could replenish his Qi and Blood at any time and possessed skills like Paralysis and Iron Body.
This was his greatest reliance and his ultimate trump card!
Dealing with a Second-Grade Martial Artist shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
He would make her misjudge his strength, and then... kill her in a single strike!
CREAK!
The old door hinges let out a faint groan.
Lin Yi’s figure blended into the shadows of the hallway before he stepped out of the residential complex’s main gate.
The very moment he stepped out of the complex, the crimson dot representing the red-haired woman on the Mosquito Avatar’s sensory map began to move. It was almost perfectly in sync with him, silently tailing him from a distance.
Her speed was neither fast nor slow, always maintaining a distance of about three kilometers, like a patient hunter.
’She took the bait...’
A cold sneer grew in Lin Yi’s heart.
’Excellent!’
He chose not to take any transportation. Instead, he started walking, heading west in a seemingly casual manner.
He had already scouted the terrain west of the city while controlling his Mosquito Avatar to hunt beasts. It was crisscrossed with gullies and sparsely wooded—an ideal battlefield.
Lin Yi had chosen that place for the battle.
The night grew darker, and the city’s neon lights gradually faded behind him.
The biting wind of the winter night blew against Lin Yi’s cheeks.
The Qi and Blood in his body circulated slowly, dispelling the cold while he remained on high alert.
Like the most loyal sentinel, the Mosquito Avatar hovered high in the sky. In its invisible state, it fed every one of the red-haired woman’s movements back into his mind.
