As Ren Xiaosu strolled through Luoyang City and looked at the roads that Jiang Xu might have taken in the past, his thoughts involuntarily drifted elsewhere.
Who killed Jiang Xu?
Was it Wang Shengzhi? Ren Xiaosu pondered.
To Ren Xiaosu, Wang Shengzhi had saved his life. Based on his understanding of Wang Shengzhi, although this person was now acting in an extreme manner, he should still have a bottom line.
Of course, this was just a judgment. In the end, Ren Xiaosu still had to rely on the evidence.
Could it be Zero? Ren Xiaosu pondered. Based on Zero's awakened willpower, it was very likely that she had done a lot of things behind Wang Shengzhi's back.
Zero also had a motive. In her opinion, humans would never allow other intelligent species to exist. Furthermore, Jiang Xu was the one who targeted artificial intelligence the most and had a great influence on it.
Now that Zero had nanomachines as her tool of execution, it could be said that she had instantly become a very dangerous existence.
Although Zero had said that she only had nanomachines on Mo Fei, who knew if she was lying?
After all, Zero could even deceive her "father" Wang Shengzhi, so how could she possibly deceive Ren Xiaosu?
Something was not right. Ren Xiaosu kept feeling that something was not right.
He searched his memories to find any clues. Right, Ren Xiaosu finally knew why he felt something was not right.
Because when he killed the sniper on the rooftop, the sniper had received orders and instructions through his headset. If Zero had been controlling the soldiers with nanomachines, she would not have needed the headset at all and could have just used the nanomachines to control them.
Moreover, although the assassins in black had acted cautiously and meticulously when surrounding them, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of loopholes in their plans in urban warfare. This was also the reason why Ren Xiaosu was so fearless.
It was not that the other party was not elite enough. It was just that no one could carry out a theoretically perfect plan in an actual battle. There would always be all kinds of accidents.
But if Zero had been the one controlling them, the other party would not have made so many mistakes. That was because when Zero controlled these people, she would have absolute power to carry out her orders.
If it wasn't Zero or Wang Shengzhi, then who could it be?
Because of Jiang Xu's death, the entire Barrier Alliance was probably enraged by the Wang Clan. Who would benefit from this situation?
The Kyung Clan? The nanomachines that had appeared in Stronghold 61 had also pointed to the Kyung Clan as a suspect.
Ren Xiaosu felt a slight chill in his heart. If it was really Luo Lan and Qing Zhen who did this, it would make him very sad.
However, he firmly believed in his judgment that Qing Zhen and Luo Lan would never do such a thing.
The assassins in black who were chasing after Ren Xiaosu probably didn't expect that Ren Xiaosu would still have the time to think about other things in the midst of their intense pursuit.
By the time Ren Xiaosu came back to his senses, the assassins in black had already locked down the encirclement and were about to surround and kill him again.
A moment later, Ren Xiaosu suddenly sped up. The assassins in black in front of him flashed out from the corner of the street. But before they could fire a shot, they saw the black muzzle of Ren Xiaosu's gun in his hand.
The bullet pierced through the falling rainwater and hit the assassin in between his eyebrows.
When Ren Xiaosu fought with his bare hands earlier, the assassins in black had almost forgotten that Ren Xiaosu could also use a gun.
In fact, Ren Xiaosu liked to use firearms very much. With his master-level firearms proficiency, he was miles ahead of these assassins.
He finally arrived at the National Treasure Garden on Peony Avenue. This was a famous area for the wealthy in Luoyang City, and the villas in the city center were even more sought after by the rich and powerful.
Ren Xiaosu, who was wearing a black poncho, disappeared at the entrance of the villa complex. The assassins in black hesitated for a moment before a new order came through their earpieces. "He won't be able to escape. Surround and kill him."
The assassins in black spread out in all directions outside the villa complex in a hurry. Then they climbed over the wall and entered together, vowing to surround Ren Xiaosu here.
At this moment, a voice came through their earpieces. "The target has entered Villa 27. I repeat, the target has entered Villa 27."
The assassins in black sneered. Once they entered the villa, they could forget about coming out again. At this moment, the murderous intent was surging. By the time the hundreds of them surrounded the villa, they would be able to turn any superhuman into a sieve even if they focused their fire on him.
On the tree-lined path in the villa complex, the assassins quickly gathered into dozens of tactical formations and surged toward Villa 27.
Dense raindrops fell from the sky, and then fell on the leaves beside the path.
The water droplets gathered at the tips of the leaves and were crystal clear, reflecting the black murderous intent.
Their black combat boots kicked up the puddles on the ground. The assassins gestured with their hands as they completely surrounded Villa 27.
The villa was empty and did not seem to have anyone living there. Ren Xiaosu looked around the house and found it did not even have a sofa.
An unusual sound of water came from outside. Ren Xiaosu knew it was the sound of the assassins moving around.
However, a one-cubic meter alloy box stood alone in the house. This box seemed to be coated with a special metal that could shield it from all external detection.
Ren Xiaosu walked up to the box. There was a note on the silver-white alloy box: "A gift for my good friend, Ren Xiaosu. May our friendship last forever, Luo Lan."
Ren Xiaosu smiled. This fatty actually left such a mushy note behind. It was a little out of place with the current atmosphere.
The humid smell of the rainy day mixed with the freshness of the soil was a little refreshing. It was a good time to kill some enemies on a rainy day like this.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu pressed the button on the alloy box. The moment the alloy box's door slowly opened …
A voice came from the palace …
"Unconsciously controlled nanomachines detected. Are they online?"
"Yes," Ren Xiaosu replied.
"Reloading program …"
"Restoring factory settings …"
"No online programs found …"
"Matching successful."
Murderous intent surged outside the villa. Ren Xiaosu flung his black raincoat to the ground, then turned around and walked toward the murderous intent. The silver nanomachines flowed intimately toward Ren Xiaosu like a torrent.
Those cute little guys that he had not seen in a long time seemed to have inherited the will of their predecessors. They formed a dignified and solemn outer armor on Ren Xiaosu's body.
With every step Ren Xiaosu took, the outer armor became more complete with each step he took, and the murderous intent boiled even more.
Before this, Luo Lan had said that he would escort a batch of nanomachines from the southwest to Luoyang City. If Ren Xiaosu needed them, he could come and pick them up at any time. This was a gift from the Kyung Clan, so Luo Lan did not go back on his word.
Ren Xiaosu realized that this batch of nanomachines did not even have a background connection program.
At this moment, he was already in peak condition and could kill people.
In an instant, the strong and burly armor smashed through the front door of the villa and rushed out. It was only when the hitmen saw this that they realized who they were after today.
