Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 730 - Rest

Qing Wanglai unleashed a continuous barrage of gunshots, the sound echoing without pause.

The bullets hit some of the men and scared the rest, making them retreat.

After several rounds, Qing Wanglai ejected the magazine and reloaded the gun with a new one. Chen Hongyu and Qian Fu pushed one of the shelves towards the men to buy him time.

Behind Chen Hongyu was Li Huowang. He punched forward like a leopard, raising his cleaver and stabbing an intruder’s neck. Yang Na was also fighting. She shouted incessantly as she sprayed pepper spray towards the intruders.

The chaotic battle didn’t last long. By the time Qing Wanglai shot his gun again, the situation was under their control.

The other intruders retreated since the struggle put up by Li Huowang and the others was too strong.

They never thought Li Huowang and the others would fight back so hard. They came in ill-prepared.

By the time the white smoke completely dissipated, the chaotic room was back to its usual calmness.

Li Huowang panted as he touched the blood on his neck. He checked the corpses and saw four of them belonged to the intruder, while the fifth one was Wang Gang.

The two other people they had caught escaped during the chaos.

Li Huowang ignored them. He was still figuring out what had happened to them. He knew they would fight one day, but he never thought it would be so soon.

He approached Yang Na and checked if she was injured. Thankfully, she was unharmed, although she was crying. He quickly calmed her down before he approached Qing Wanglai, who was inspecting the corpses.

“You actually had a real gun?” Li Huowang was surprised. He never expected Qing Wanglai to hide his true strength so deeply. Even Li Huowang was fooled by Qing Wanglai.

“Do I?” Qing Wanglai asked.

“Do you take me for a blind man?”

Li Huowang thought Qing Wanglai was joking when Qing Wanglai asked Wu Qi, “Wu Qi, do I have a real gun?”

“No, of course not. How could you have a real gun? It’s illegal.”

Li Huowang realized what they meant and nodded. “Fine, you don’t have a real gun. So... Who are they?”

Qing Wanglai checked the corpses and said, “They don’t look like amateurs to me.”

“What?”

“This means that their real body is very complicated. We need to prepare for the worst.”

“No! No more!” Yang Na stood up as she cried. “We need to report this to the police! Don’t you see how many people have died?! Five! Five people died!”

She looked around and found her bag. She wanted to call the police using her phone.

She reached for her bag, but Wu Qi snatched it away.

“Wu Qi?” Yang Na looked at Wu Qi in disbelief as the latter shook her head.

“We can’t call the police.”

“Why not?”

Wu Qi shook her head. She didn’t want to explain and instead gestured towards Qing Wanglai.

“Because now is not the time. Do you remember what I’ve said? This is the observer effect.” Qing Wanglai strapped his gun behind his back.

“When everyone realizes it, the outcome will change too. We cannot determine what the others will think of us if we reveal this to the public.”

“Are you crazy?! Don’t you see the dead people on the ground?!” Yang Na took a step back in disbelief.

Qing Wanglai stared at Yang Na seriously and pondered.

“I agree about reporting to the police.” Li Huowang raised his arm in agreement.

He stepped on a corpse’s head as he said, “They didn’t believe me when I showed them the two fingers last time. I refuse to believe that they would dismiss me now. They will have to believe that someone is trying to kidnap me. I don’t think they would regard me as someone crazy after we killed five people.”

Wu Qi looked at the black security anklet on Li Huowang’s foot. “Do you really want to do that? Don’t forget you killed three of them. Even if you convince them that they came for you, they will still lock you up for good in the mental hospital. You won’t be jailed since it’s not a crime for a mentally ill person to kill someone, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be free from any repercussions.”

Yang Na lowered her head and sobbed. She stopped talking about reporting to the police.

“Hehehe... Fake! Everything is fake! Reporting to the police won’t work!” Zhao Lei wriggled on the ground with his limbs tied up.

“Everyone, listen to me,” Qing Wanglai said. “I’m not trying to scare everyone, but this is a serious matter. If you don’t believe me, I will show you the data from my experiments after we deal with the issue.”

Li Huowang knew that things wouldn’t be as simple as they seemed. “I doubt it will be that simple. How are you going to deal with five corpses if you don’t report to the police?”

The sportscar and the gun had already made Li Huowang suspicious of Qing Wanglai. If Qing Wanglai could really deal with five corpses discreetly, Li Huowang would have to reconsider their cooperation. What kind of background does he have?

“I don’t have any background, and I don’t need to deal with the corpses. They will come and clean it up themselves. I’m sure they don’t want the public to learn what they were up to. For now, we need to ask how many people they’ve sent after us and what kind of plans they have for us.”

“Everyone is dead. Who are you going to ask?”

“Who said everyone is dead?” Qing Wanglai pointed at Zhao Lei.

Qing Wanglai picked up Zhao Lei and patted the dust off Zhao Lei’s shirt. “You should know that I’m very trustworthy. We are all friends here. If you tell us what you know, I will forgive you.”

Qing Wanglai chose a different method to deal with Zhao Lei since the latter wouldn’t succumb to force or coaxing.

Li Huowang frowned. He wanted to say something but decided to remain silent.

Zhao Lei stared at the corpses on the ground and remained silent.

After a while, he made his request. “Give me back my stuff or I won’t cooperate.”

Li Huowang was angered and approached Zhao Lei. “What did I steal?! Wake up!”

Zhao Lei glared at him. “Stop trying to weasel your way out of this! Are you just faking it?!”

“Go take some medicine if you are crazy! Stop trying to act crazy here!”
