三级a午夜

[Level: 13]

[Attributes: Constitution 27, Strength 28, Agility 31, Intelligence 11, Perception 17, Charisma 7.]

[Traits: Hollow Skeleton, Basic Soul, Echo Positioning, Jagged Path Climbing.]

[Specialty: Biological Aberration.]

[Echo Positioning]: By knocking on the surface of objects such as the ground and walls, it can detect concealed targets.

[Jagged Path Climbing]: Can climb in special terrains, Agility +3.

[Biological Aberration]: Constitution +3, Agility +3, Perception +2.

The most prominent attribute of the Scary Claw Monster is its agility, which reaches 31 points.

This speed is quite fast already.

The traits include [Echo Positioning]and [Jagged Path Climbing].

Echo Positioning, by knocking on the ground, allows it to determine the enemy’s position, granting it scouting abilities, even if the enemy is hiding in a building, it can identify the target.

Quite a twisted ability indeed.

Jagged Path Climbing allows for climbing in rugged terrains.

The ability to climb walls vertically is probably due to this trait.

But it doesn’t seem too useful, as my own spiders can also climb walls and webs.

Most importantly, this grotesque humanoid appearance is always unsettling.

After reading the attributes, Wu Heng named it ‘Scary Claw Monster’ and added it to the patrol team.

Once the Scary Claw Monster had left,

Wu Heng squatted down, rummaging through the fallen flesh, and found a Corpse Core full of red blood threads.

Using a plastic bag as a glove, he took out the Corpse Core to examine it.

Compared to the previous Corpse Cores,

The red blood threads on this one are more concentrated, and there is a kind of purple color gradient.

It gives off a sense that it is full of neurotoxins.

Wu Heng looked at the Corpse Core, his brows furrowed.

A level 3 Corpse Core?

It shouldn’t be, there’s no way a level 3 Mutated Zombie would be so easy to kill, it should still be a level 2 Corpse Core, just with some changes.

With the Corpse Core in hand, he walked straight into a nearby building.

The Skeleton Alchemist came out and bowed slightly.

Among the entire skeleton squad, the Alchemist Skeleton possesses the highest intelligence and is also of the highest quality.

Wu Heng handed it the freshly acquired Corpse Core and said, “Test its toxicity and then develop a potion from it.”

The Alchemist Skeleton respectfully took it and put it in an ‘Organ Jar’ next to it.

Since there’s no constant temperature storage equipment here, the organ jar serves as a great container to preserve such materials.

Then, the Alchemist Skeleton handed the newly made healing and spirit potions, as well a materials list, to him.

Wu Heng nodded, “Alright, I will prepare these for you tomorrow.”

After leaving the room where the Alchemist Skeleton was, he strolled around the complex.

Directly through the boundary door, he returned home to rest.

…

When night fell,

The deserted streets were shrouded in darkness.

Clomp, clomp, clomp~!

The patrolling mercenary group just passed by.

Figures appeared from the damp alleyways, clad in leather armor and short blades at their waists, scarves over their faces.

Tightly wrapped.

After looking around and seeing nothing unusual, they quickly approached the residential area.

They darted into another dark alley, where one of them said, “Leave no one, take the bodies, and get the money when we get back. Be quick and efficient.”

“Got it!” The rest nodded.

“Go.”

After confirmation, they quickly rushed to the building.

Over the fence in a leap.

They lit an incense burner, placing it next to the building.

The wisps of blue smoke went from the door crack and window, into the building.

After a little while,

One person served as a lookout while another quickly approached the door, squatting to pick the lock.

Click.

The door lock was knocked open.

All their faces lit up, it seemed the plan was simpler than they had thought.

They exchanged glances, gently opened the door, and went straight in.

“No one on the first floor,” someone whispered.

According to the intel, this guy had two attendants.

Why weren’t there any people in the rooms on the first floor yet?

No time to think about it.

He quickly said, “Go, upstairs, be quick.”

Clomp, clomp, clomp~!

The people quickened their steps, the sound of footsteps on the stairs echoing inside the house.

When they turned the corner at the third floor, intending to go up to the fourth,

They abruptly halted.

At the top of the stairs stood several figures, blocking the path.

Amongst them, the hunched figure of the Hollow Skeleton could be seen, the silver moonlight filtering through its skeleton, casting shadows on the ground.

“Shit, it’s the undead!”

The people were suddenly startled.

Before they could react, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!

A few crossbow arrows and spells were shot.

Then, the skeletons from above pounced, killing all of them.

Corpses littered the stairs.

At the same time, a figure jumped from the third-floor balcony, a mid-air kick landing on the head of the lookout outside the door, his neck twisted in a strange way as his body slumped.

He picked up the incense burner from the corner, extinguishing the place it was lit, one hand holding it, the other dragging a body into the room.

The door closed again.

In the living room, eight bodies were neatly laid out on the ground, a piece of linen cloth laid beneath them, to prevent blood from spilling everywhere.

As soon as the people approached the house, they were detected by the Skeletons.

Skeletons don’t need to sleep, they can guard this place day and night.

Not just Basen and Bawudong in this place, but also Jianyi, Jian’er, Nuyi and Nuer, along with four Skeleton Ghost Hags.

They had not attacked immediately, but let them come in on their own to avoid causing too much of a disturbance outside.

Wu Heng sat on the sofa, looking at the incense burner in his hand.

[Hallucination Incense Burner]

(Description: When the incense is burning, living beings inhaling during a certain period will suffer from exhaustion, dizziness, hallucinations, and other effects.)

As expected, they came for me and even brought magic items.

Didn’t bother trying to figure out their identities.

“Communicate with the Dead” was immediately released, and the first body sat up.

Wu Heng directly asked, “Who are you?”

“Pinned Gang.”

Pinned Gang?

Local gangs?

The Lundham City gangs and mercenary groups are chaos.

In both the outer city area and areas beyond the city, numerous gangs cluster.

Walking on the streets, anyone you randomly grab could be a gang member or a mercenary.

So I’ve been targeted by a gang?

“What are you doing here?” Wu Heng asked again.

“To kill everyone in the house.”

What the hell!

Serious grudge indeed.

I thought they were after wealth, but they’d actually come for lives.

“Who sent you to kill me?”

“Our boss, Rocky.”

Leaning back on the sofa, Wu Heng pondered, “Why does he want to kill me?”

“Don’t know!”

“Is your boss human or a beastman?”

“Human!”

After the five questions, the corpse fell back with a thud.

Wu Heng continued to release his skill, and the second one sat up.

He directly asked, “Why did Rocky send you to kill me?”

“Our boss took an order, and the order is to kill you.”

Somebody hired the gang to kill me?

“Who is the person who ordered your boss to kill me, or what is their identity?”

“Not sure.”

Wu Heng nodded and thought for a while before continuing, “How many people are in your gang?”

“There’s probably over a thousand people.”

What the hell.

This gang is not small. There are over a thousand people.

“What’s Rocky’s strength?”

“Heard he’s reached level 10.”

“Who else has high strength?”

“In our gang, there are a few who have reached level 7 or 8. They are the backbone of the gang.”

After the five questions, the second corpse also fell back.

Next, Wu Heng got the others to get up and asked a few questions.

Including the appearance of the boss Rocky, the location of the gang, and if there were any backers.

He learned a few things from the conversation.

The ‘Pinned Gang’ is not a large gang locally, most of its members congregate outside the city, only the boss and a few core members are in the outer city area.

It’s an external gang.

The only thing he didn’t find out was who hired the gang to kill him.

He had a few guesses in mind.

But it was hard to say for sure.

He opened the boundary door and had the corpses all moved back to another world.

…

As daylight broke, Wu Heng cooked ramen for breakfast.

He didn’t sleep much that night.

He spent the night in a daze.

After breakfast, he left his place.

He went to the central city area.

Instead of entering the club, he directly went into the ‘Snake Badge Consortium’ across the street.

At this time, there weren’t many people in the hall.

Some staff were still cleaning.

“Hello, sir, how may I assist you?” The receptionist greeted with a smile.

Wu Heng took out his ‘snake badge’ and continued, “Is Miss Laisia in?”

“Yes, sir, please wait in the lounge.”

Wu Heng was led into a separate lounge, where he sat on the sofa in silence and waited.

After last night’s assassination, he even doubted the Snake Badge Consortium.

After all, he had exchanged a large number of silver coins here, giving the appearance of wealth.

But on second thought, he dismissed the suspicions about the consortium.

Not to mention such a large organizational structure, he was probably just one customer.

Even if they want to kill him, they wouldn’t hire a low-rank gang like ‘Pinned Gang’.

The Snake Badge Consortium itself is not kind, killing is not a difficult matter for them.

Soon, crisp footsteps echoed, and the door opened. The beautiful ‘Laisia’ walked in.

She looked like she had just woken up, her face still carried a sleepy look.

She closed the door with a smile, “Good morning, Mr. Wu Heng.”

“Good morning.” Wu Heng also greeted, and said directly, “I came here today to ask if the consortium has any tools to conceal my appearance.”

“Of course we do, let me get someone to prepare them.” The woman instructed someone outside, she then sat down across from him.

The two chatted briefly before someone brought in two items and put them on the coffee table.

“Trick Earrings, when worn, can blur your facial features. It’s a pretty good item. Illusion Veil, a special item, changes your outer appearance when worn…” The woman introduced each of the items.

Wu Heng also focused on the two items on the table.

[Trick Silver Earrings]

(Description: Silver earrings engraved with illusion magic that can form a fuzzy illusion on the face. It can block creatures below level 20 from recognizing the wearer’s face.)

This is an item that can make your face fuzzy.

This item is actually a bit redundant. It’s no better than wearing a mask that covers all of your face.

But I can understand the idea behind this item.

One’s eyes and hair color could lead to identity exposure. If everything is blurred, it would be harder for others to recognize you.

But it doesn’t seem to be what I need.

I then focused on the second item.

[Illusion Veil (Special item)]

[Type: Special Item]

[Function: Illusion, Mimicry.]

[Side Effect: Wearer will unconsciously attract males.]
