Sha Rou stared at the young man in front of her. Since he knew her name, he must have done some research or was sent by someone she knew. There were only a handful of people who knew about her background.
However, Sha Rou didn't sense any killing intent from this young man. Either he was harmless, or he was good at hiding. Either way, Sha Rou didn't want to tangle with this young man. She wasn't confident that she could win against someone who could appear without a trace.
"Who are you?" Sha Rou looked at Silin cautiously.
Silin didn't answer her directly. "I have something to discuss. Shall we find a place to talk?"
Sha Rou frowned. "I don't know you. There's nothing to talk about. If you're going to threaten me with what happened earlier, I'm sorry, but I don't accept threats."
Although she looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old and looked a little underdeveloped, she was able to speak so calmly and kill people without batting an eye. Her methods were clean and efficient, and she was a girl. It was indeed impressive. No wonder she could operate in the city for so long.
Sha Rou's eyes turned cold when she saw that the young man wasn't going to leave. "Foxes and Wolves? Myriad Sea City? Or another gang? "
Silin chuckled softly. It looks like this girl thinks I'm a member of a gang in the city.
"Neither. I'm actually looking for Shi Tang."
The Shi Tang that Silin spoke of was the person he was looking for. He was also the girl's older brother.
Sha Rou suddenly erupted with killing intent as soon as the name "Shi Tang" came out of her mouth. Her figure vanished into thin air. At the same time, a cold light flashed like a silver snake.
Just now, the three people were killed by this. Their arteries, throats, ribs, and hearts were all severed. However, the cold light was too fast, as if everything happened at the same time. The three people didn't even have time to react before they lost their lives. The cold light's target was Silin.
The cold light didn't always exist. It only flickered for a moment when Sha Rou vanished into thin air. Then, it disappeared.
However, just because it couldn't be seen didn't mean it didn't exist.
Silin reached out with his right hand and stopped not far from his chest. He pressed his index and middle fingers together as if he was holding something.
His hands moved quickly, but Silin's gaze was fixed on a spot not far away. Then, a silver ring of metal appeared on his right hand. It extended all the way to where Silin was looking, and Sha Rou's figure gradually appeared. Sha Rou was holding an extremely thin metal weapon in her hand. It was her weapon.
Sha Rou was a mutant, and only a handful of people knew that she could turn invisible. Most of the people who knew about Sha Rou's ability were already dead.
In the blink of an eye, Sha Rou knew that she was no match for the man before her. His invisibility ability did not work at all, and …
Sha Rou didn't plan to attack for the time being. Her opponent had caught her Silver Snake Saber with just two fingers. Sha Rou didn't sense any malicious intent from him, but she didn't let her guard down just yet.
Silin loosened his grip and the silver snake blade returned to Sha Rou's hand. Sha Rou flicked her wrist, and the Silver Serpent Blade disappeared without a trace. By the looks of it, this little girl has been playing this game for a long time.
"Why are you looking for him?" Sha Rou asked.
"Cooperation." Silin nodded at the other side of the alley. "Someone's coming. Let's talk somewhere else."
Sha Rou took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in her heart. It was better to leave this place first. As a mutant, it was too difficult to live in this city. One wrong move and she would be in danger. She might even drag her big brother down with her.
Sha Rou was very familiar with this area. She avoided the people coming from the other end of the alley and left with Silin.
After they found a restaurant with decent conditions, Cillin asked Sha Rou about the specialties of this place. Although Sha Rou was a little puzzled about Cillin's identity, she told him a little about it anyway.
Sha Rou had never eaten in this restaurant before. It was expensive, and she didn't want to waste her money here. The reason she was familiar with the specialties of this place was because of the advertisements on the signboards in front of the restaurant. She had memorized some of them over time.
Huimao didn't hold back. He dug in as soon as the food was served. As for A 'Yue, he wandered around the city under the pretext of gathering information. He hadn't been out for a few hundred years, so he would be curious even if it was a place filled with scrap metal.
Sha Rou was prepared to deal with the man's provocation, but the man and the cat completely ignored her as soon as the food was served. They focused on eating their food. After a moment of hesitation, Sha Rou decided to fill her stomach first.
After the meal, the atmosphere relaxed a lot. Silin sipped his tea and looked at Sha Rou, who was sitting across from him with a tense body. "If Shi Tang doesn't receive treatment, he won't make it past this year."
Sha Rou's face paled. She knew that her big brother's condition was very bad, but she didn't know that he wouldn't make it past this year. Sha Rou felt a great pressure when she thought about this.
"How do you know about my big brother?" Sha Rou's hands were trembling.
"I told you, I want to work with Shi Tang. I'm very interested in his research."
"You're spying on us?!" Sha Rou glared at Silin. Her eyes were filled with hostility. It was hard to imagine a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl could be so hostile.
Silin didn't deny it. "I can provide him with the best treatment, a laboratory, and get you out of here."
Sha Rou's heart raced when she heard the words "get out of here". The reason her big brother persisted in his research despite knowing that it was harmful to his body was because he wanted to find a good shelter.
When she was very young, Shi Tang had told her that if there was a large space jump point or wormhole, they would be able to leave this place. They would be able to leave this place that discriminated against mutants. They would be able to seek a better life. Shi Tang had been working on his research for a long time. He had invested almost all of his income into his research. He would often go to the trash collection center to look for materials that were useful to him because he didn't have the money to buy them.
It was so simple that it could be said to be shabby equipment in larger research institutions. Who would have thought that it could be made to such an extent? If Shi Tang hadn't been a frequent visitor to the forums, Silin wouldn't have noticed this young and talented man.
Sha Rou had invested most of the money she earned through various means into Shi Tang's research. The rest was used to buy medicine. Without the medicine, Shi Tang would've died a long time ago.
Sha Rou wanted to escape this abyss of suffering, but she didn't believe that there was such a method. Now that the person in front of her was interested in Shi Tang's research, Sha Rou couldn't help but think about it. Could the research really be completed?
Who was this person who had the ability to spy on them without them noticing? And who was he?
That being said, Sha Rou was more than willing to help Shi Tang recover. She was willing to assassinate the leader of the planetary government even if she had to do it herself.
"If you want to work with my brother, why are you looking for me?" Sha Rou asked.
"Your brother will listen to you. Besides, he won't be willing to take me with him."
"You're talking big. You've investigated us before, so you should know that we're aliens. We can't leave our planet easily, even if we're not slaves."
"You don't have to worry about that. I have a way …" Silin suddenly looked at the entrance of the shop.
Silin and Sha Rou were standing in a corner of the shop. There weren't many people around, and there was some music playing in the shop. They weren't afraid that their conversation would be overheard. The people around them were busy chatting with their companions, so no one paid them any attention.
However, when another group of people walked into the shop, everyone suddenly stopped talking. The only sound that could be heard was the hoarse female voice playing in the background music. The atmosphere in the shop suddenly became a little strange. It was a little solemn and a little depressing. After this strange atmosphere, everyone's voices became a lot quieter.
Sha Rou's eyes flashed when she saw the people who walked into the shop. She picked up her teacup and took a sip. Silin clearly sensed Sha Rou's evasive mood.
The people who walked into the shop all had an emblem on them. It was a half-wolf, half-fox. The two halves of the beast's head combined to form the emblem.
According to the information they received, these people were probably from the Fox and Wolf Gang, the strongest gang in this area.
The person walking at the front was a tough-looking middle-aged man. He wore a fur cloak.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to notice the sudden change in the atmosphere after he walked into the shop. He looked around the shop. The customers all lowered their heads, afraid to make eye contact with him.
The middle-aged man's subordinates were about to go upstairs, but they stopped and waited for their boss's order when they saw that he didn't seem to have any intention of going up.
After looking around, the middle-aged man fixed his gaze in a certain direction. An inexplicable smile appeared on his face. He walked toward the corner where Silin and Sha Rou were sitting.
"Little Sha Rou, are you eating with your boyfriend?"
The middle-aged man pulled out a chair and sat down. He looked at Sha Rou, then at Silin, who was sitting there calmly.
Seeing that she couldn't avoid this, Sha Rou stood up and bowed. "Boss Parker."
Parker nodded and gestured for Sha Rou to sit down. Then, he looked at Silin and Fat Cat, who was happily munching on a big fat head fish. His eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. This man and cat sure have guts!
Parker looked at Sha Rou, who was sitting there nervously. He slowly turned a metal finger guard on his hand and smiled. "Little Sha Rou, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
Sha Rou cursed in her mind. I don't even know how to introduce myself!
Before Sha Rou could answer, Silin raised a hand to stop her. He turned to Parker and said, "I'm just a passerby. Don't mind me."
After saying that, Silin rubbed Huimao's belly. He didn't look at Sha Rou or Parker again. He meant to say, "You can talk if you want. I won't say anything."
"You're tired of living!"
One of Parker's subordinates pulled out a gun and pointed it at Silin's head. But before the gun could get close to Silin, the gun broke into pieces and fell to the ground.
Parker's pupils shrank, and the corner of his eye twitched. However, he was a seasoned veteran. He quickly regained his composure. No one knew that the knuckles of Parker's fingers on the metal guard were cold.
