"The building in front is Black Spider's hiding place. He lives on the third floor, so he should be very alert. Let's not make any noise," Li Ya Lin said softly.
Han Xiao's voice came from the earpiece. "Don't be so careful. Black Spider has already discovered you."
"How do you know?" Li Ya Lin curled her lips in disbelief.
As soon as he finished speaking, continuous gunshots tore through the silence of the night. A series of bullets were shot from above. Li Ya Lin and the other two immediately rolled and dodged. They hid in the corner of an alley with a dignified expression.
When were they discovered?
Although the three of them would not have been injured by such a simple sneak attack, they would not have reacted so quickly without Han Xiao's reminder. Thinking of this, Li Ya Lin's eyes turned serious as she solemnly fixed her earpiece.
A man stood at the top of the hill where the bullets came from. He had a sinister smile on his face, and he did not hide his arrogance at all. He had a black spider tattoo on the left side of his face, and he was wearing a black combat suit and holding an assault rifle. He waved his hand, and ten masked men in black appeared from all over the alley with guns in their hands. They surrounded Li Ya Lin and the other two.
"The information was wrong. How could he have help?" Lin Yao's eyes widened.
Li Ya Lin's heart sank.
Black Spider sneered. "I dared to stay in the West Capital. Did you think I would be unprepared? Division 13 made me suffer the last time. I, Black Spider, am a vengeful person. Since you dare to extend your claws at me, I will chop off your claws! "
The Black Spider was a solo bounty hunter and assassin. He was infamous in the underground world. He could often set up a series of traps before the target realized it, leaving the target with nowhere to run. It was like a spider web.
Li Ya Lin suddenly turned around and kicked the wall. A bright yellow light flashed, and the wall collapsed. The falling rocks formed a barrier that blocked the enemy's vision.
In the early stage of the Pugilist class, energy was attached to their weapons, giving them extraordinary strength. Li Ya Lin was a Level E fighter with an Energy Rank of 300 Ona and a Level of 25.
Black Spider led his masked men to surround the three of them and used their firepower to suppress them.
Li Ya Lin and Lambert pulled Lin Yao along, using the terrain of the alleyway as cover. Fortunately, they were strong enough to avoid being hit by a single shot in such a perilous situation. However, they were still forced into a dead end.
Black Spider and his men blocked the entrance of the alley. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. With an intoxicated expression, he murmured, "Little insects that have fallen into the net, every strand of your hair is emitting fear."
"You think you've already won?" Li Ya Lin raised an eyebrow and gave Lambert a look.
Black Spider acted as if he had just heard something unbelievable. He looked at the 10 teammates behind him in an exaggerated manner. He opened his arms wide and said arrogantly, "I only need to give the order and you will all be turned into sieves. Where did you get the courage to challenge me?"
Li Ya Lin said in a low voice, "Then why aren't you making a move?"
"Killing you won't do me any good. If I take you hostage, I can still get a ransom." Black Spider shook his finger. Everything was under his control. He knew that his words would be transmitted to Division 13 through the three agents' earpieces. He liked the feeling of showing off. Suddenly, he laughed sinisterly. "But I only need one of you!"
Black Spider waved his hand and was about to give the order to open fire when Li Ya Lin suddenly jumped up. Her feet glowed with a bright yellow light. She stepped on the wall and jumped left and right. Her movements were graceful, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. She closed the distance between them at high speed.
"Kill her!" Black Spider's face tightened. His men started firing at Li Ya Lin, but they could not hit her. She was so fast that she left afterimages. Only a few bullets hit her body, but they turned into small pieces of metal on her clothes.
Li Ya Lin's tight-fitting clothes were sewn with ceramic fiber bulletproof fabric. Bullets could not penetrate them at all. Her body was strong enough to withstand the kinetic energy of bullets. She was not afraid of gunmen at all. Her previous escape was to show weakness to the enemy. She wanted to draw Black Spider's attention so that the enemy could gather together and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Lambert took advantage of the short moment when the enemy's attention was diverted. He grabbed the knife pouch at his waist, and four throwing knives hit the throats of four people in the blink of an eye.
The rest of them were shocked. Half of them wanted to turn their guns on Lambert, but Li Ya Lin stomped on the wall and shattered it. Rubble rained down like rain, blocking the attacks of Black Spider and his subordinates. Along with the rubble, Li Ya Lin swooped down like a hunting eagle.
Li Ya Lin pulled out the hilt of the retractable machete from her waist and slashed down. When the machete was 30 centimeters away from the enemy, the enemy slightly raised his head, thinking that he could dodge it. Suddenly, the machete grew out of the ground and instantly closed the distance between them. With a flash of the machete, the enemy's neck was slit open.
Surprise was another advantage of the retractable knife.
"Good weapon!" Li Ya Lin's eyes lit up.
The result of a normal gunner being closed in on by a pugilist was self-evident. Thirty seconds later, blood splattered everywhere, and only Black Spider, whose hands were cut off, was left lying on the ground.
Li Ya Lin snorted and put away the retractable knife. She was very satisfied with this weapon, which could be extended or shortened at will.
"Well done," Han Xiao praised. He hadn't said a word earlier, so he wasn't worried that the three of them would die here.
"Th-thank you," Lin Yao said nervously.
"That doesn't include you."
Lin Yao lowered his head dejectedly. He hadn't been of any use earlier.
"Little girl, you can't kill me."
The heavily injured Black Spider laughed in a hoarse voice. He looked at Li Ya Lin with a mocking expression.
Lambert didn't say anything. He pulled out his gun and shot Black Spider in the head. Red and white blood splattered all over the ground.
Li Ya Lin and Lin Yao looked at Lambert in silence.
Lambert was expressionless. "Why don't you try and find out?"
"… Sigh … So what if he's dead? The higher-ups didn't let us leave him alive anyway. I'm going to take a shower when I get back. My whole body is covered in blood. It stinks."
Li Ya Lin stretched her body.
At this time, Han Xiao spoke up. "Don't relax. Black Spider is still alive."
Li Ya Lin almost sprained her waist. She pointed at the mangled corpse and said, "How can he be alive like this?"
Han Xiao calmly said, "He's an Esper. His ability is very difficult to deal with. You'll know when you lift the mask of the first masked man on the left."
Lin Yao hesitated. "But there's never been any information about Black Spider being an Esper on the dark web. You might be mistaken."
Li Ya Lin pursed her lips. "It's not a 'might', it's definitely a mistake. Hey newbie, I understand that you're eager to contribute, but you can't make up fake information to fool us."
Han Xiao was speechless. Silly girl, it's time for you to fill in the blanks.
