Evolution of life

Chapter 16: Catching Turtles

Hearing Yingjian's reminder, Li Xing dared not be careless. He immediately climbed out of the bathtub and dried himself quietly, putting on his clothes. In the process, he hurriedly inquired about the situation from the students. "There's only one person on the other side, and their cultivation level shouldn't be high. They're currently trying to sneak into the villa from the outside."

Although Yingjian had a powerful cultivation, he was now only a soul body, and could only roughly determine the location of the enemy. It was impossible to investigate the enemy's information in detail. "The enemy's system of powers is not clear. You should be more careful." Not being able to rest easy, Yingjian couldn't help but remind him.

"Yes." Li Xing nodded, with a serious expression on his face. If the person was from the YinGui organization, it was likely that they had committed many bloodshed incidents, in other words, they were people who had experienced actual combat. Their combat experience was far beyond Li Xing's, a newbie in the field. Absolutely The black bodyguard politely greeted them. The five bodyguards were all private hires of the Stanford family and were highly loyal.

Now that they knew Li Xing was a distinguished guest of their family, they had been treating Li Xing very well. But now, Li Xing didn't have time to chat with them... "Hank," Li Xing's expression was very serious... "There's someone trying to sneak into the villa. You should prepare for a possible fight."

...

What? The black bodyguard didn't seem to react immediately after hearing that.

In their eyes, Li Xing was a distinguished guest that their boss valued, and in fact, one of the people they were supposed to protect. But now, the person they were supposed to protect was coming to remind them that there were intruders approaching, and to be more cautious... This couldn't help but feel like a slap in the face...

Although he was confused, Hank didn't show it. He turned around and shouted into the room, "Tom, what did the surveillance cameras pick up? Are there any suspicious people roaming around the villa?" The room they were staying in was not just a dormitory. It was more like a guard room. There were guns and ammunition in the room, as well as the monitor screen. Someone was always watching the screen around the clock. It didn't make sense that someone was approaching, and the first to notice would be the person they were supposed to protect. "No, I was staring at the screen the whole time and didn't see anything suspicious," a clear voice rang out in the room. "So, Mr. Lee Sing, did you perhaps mistake something? You should know that our surveillance cameras are running 24/7 without any blind spots. There's no reason to miss someone trying to approach us." Despite being polite, Hanke didn't get angry over such a minor matter.

But Li Sing was a bit annoyed. How bored was he to play this kind of joke with them? But it wasn't the time to be picky...

"Hanke, listen to me. The person coming is an esper," Li Sing's expression was very serious and serious. "I don't know what special abilities he has yet, but I can feel that the person is approaching! Please believe me, have your men prepare their equipment immediately! If I'm wrong, I'll definitely apologize to you! It won't be a big deal, right?"

Looking at Li Sing's sincere face, Hanke was silent for a moment. Li Sing was an esper, as Mordin had told him. Now that the other party said so, it was hard to tell if there was even a hint of joking in their words. Well...

"Okay, then I'll have them prepare, and if there's no one, we'll just consider it a patrol with our equipment." "Good!" Li Xing finally let out a sigh of relief and smiled...

He was crouched against the wall, carefully avoiding a surveillance camera. The man from the Yingui organization, Li Xing, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his face. The security measures here were simply too thorough! Even he, a skilled operative, was somewhat constrained, but fortunately, through his long-term observation, he had finally found a loophole!

This loophole would not have existed for a normal infiltrator. But he was not an ordinary person; he was an exotic power user!

Huangshi, a member of the Yingui organization and a power-type exotic power user, was now a senior starlight. Power-type exotic power users use their exotic power directly on their bodies to greatly enhance their physical strength! That was how he was able to avoid the surveillance camera by channeling his exotic power into his legs and jumping over a full story! By continuously using his power, he quickly made his way to the roof...

"Mr. Li Xing, can you still sense the exact location of the exotic power user now?" Li Xing was surrounded by three bodyguards, all of them armed. There had originally been five of them, but considering Jack's own safety situation, two of the bodyguards were sent with Jack to the basement. There is only one entrance and exit there, and the door to the basement is also reinforced. There is no need to worry about the enemy sneaking in there.

As for the outside, it's up to them four to deal with the enemy now... Hearing the guard's question, Li Xing did not answer immediately. Instead, he appeared to close his eyes to sense the enemy, but was actually in contact with the shadow blade in his bracelet... "Tell them that the enemy has arrived on the roof above."

Since there was someone nearby, the shadow blade dared not appear openly. It could only remind Li Xing in a low voice. After a moment, Li Xing opened his eyes and confidently said, "The enemy has now arrived on the roof above. How many entrances and exits are there there?"

Hank lowered his head and thought for a moment before confirming, "You said that there is a fireplace with a chimney on the top floor, which can be entered from there. On the third floor, there are two windows on each side that can also be entered." This is not good... There are so many entrances and exits, it will be difficult for them to lay in ambush...

"Should we split up?" Another white guard, who was slightly shorter, offered a suggestion. "No, it's an ability user with powers we don't know about. Acting alone is likely to be defeated one by one." Li Xing immediately rejected his proposal. "Let's go to the third floor first. Be careful." "Okay."...

A few people slowly ascended the stairs from the ground floor...

After reaching the second floor...

"Li Xing!" the blade in the bracelet urgently reminded him, "Because they are already not far from you! Or very close!" After a moment's thought, he understood. The enemy's actions were very fast, and in such a short time, they had entered the villa and reached the second floor...

"Can you determine the enemy's more accurate direction?" He was very anxious in his heart. If the enemy had a gun, then his supernatural powers would be of no use at all. The enemy could just sweep a bullet, and could kill all of them! "No, that guy is not using any supernatural powers now, so I can't perceive it clearly." After hearing the answer from the blade, Li Xing's heart sank...

What should they do now! This is really a life-threatening situation, and they can't afford any delay! His thoughts raced... Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. He immediately turned to Hanke and asked, "Is Jack's room on the second floor?"

"Yes, it's in the middle of a room on the second floor," Hanke naturally knew this, so he answered immediately. If we assume that the enemy has fully detected this villa, then the enemy should be very clear about Jack's residence. If he succeeds in infiltrating, his first target should be there! "Let's go to Jack's room quickly. It is very likely to be the enemy's target!" Li Xing quietly reminded the others.

Next, Hanke led the way, and everyone quickly moved towards Jack's room. Through a corridor... Hanke suddenly signaled for a stop to the people behind him...

"What's wrong? Have you found anything?" The guys behind him immediately asked. "There are footprints, muddy ones, that have entered the young master's room... " "Ready!" Now, of course, no one would doubt Li Xing's words, and everyone tense "That's easy. Get out of the way, and let me handle it. You guys, go and call the police right now." "Hmm?"... Before the few people could ask any more questions, Li Xing moved quietly and came to the door of Jack's room.

This person was still cautious. After entering the room, he closed the door, so even if someone passed by outside, they would not suspect anything for a moment...

However, to put it another way, this room is now completely sealed off except for this door!

Extending his right hand towards Jack's room door, he unleashed a surge of spiritual power. In the stunned gaze of the three bodyguards, ice began to form on the outside of the door! One layer after another, it completely blocked the only exit!

...Carefully entering the target's room, he immediately saw the bulging blanket... "Hehe, kiddo, you should know that sleeping with your head covered is not a good habit..." He pulled out a silenced pistol from his pocket and thought about it, then put it back down. Silenced pistols also make noise, and it would be troublesome if it was discovered...

He took out a knife from between his legs and slowly approached the bed in the bedroom, lifting the blanket and stabbing with a single stroke! Soft and fluffy... A stuffed toy? He thought to himself: bad!

Just as he was about to retreat, a sound began to emanate from the door of the room... He ran towards the door, taking two steps at a time, only to find that it seemed to be locked.

"Damn!" He pulled out his gun and fired several shots at the door, but it didn't seem to do any good. "Screwed," he thought despairingly as he looked around the room.
