Chapter 142 Don’t Brag in Front of Me
“People are wrong?”
Lin Aoxue didn’t immediately understand Su Rui’s thinking.
“Yes, we’ve been heading in the wrong direction from the start.”
Su Rui glanced at her and shared his alternative judgment.
“In my view, they weren’t bought by someone else.”
“What do you mean?” Lin Aoxue asked, confused.
“These two people aren’t the researchers you personally recruited, they just have similar faces,” Su Rui said. “Think about it, they wear large masks and dust-free suits every day, some even wear goggles. Most people wouldn’t pay attention to their facial features.”
Lin Aoxue nodded, then shook her head: “You can’t enter the Bikang Laboratory without fingerprints, and once fingerprints are registered, they can’t be modified.”
“For fingerprints, I have at least ten different methods to fake them,” Su Rui pointed at the two people and sneered. “If even faces can be disguised, what about fingerprints?”
Lin Aoxue suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
The security system that her father and she had specially designed with professional institutions was like child’s play to these people! Was there any sense of security left in this world?
“What did you just say? Faces can be disguised?” Lin Aoxue finally processed his words, and a cold sensation crept up her back.
“My judgment shouldn’t be wrong.”
Su Rui’s eyes grew increasingly cold as he walked to Grete’s side. His fingers rubbed hard around the man’s cheeks, then grabbed the skin of the chin and pulled forcefully!
Lin Aoxue couldn’t help but gasp!
Because Su Rui had ripped off the entire face of the deceased!
The scene was too horrifying, and Lin Aoxue instinctively closed her eyes! Her body trembled slightly.
Despite having a stronger will than most people her age, her heart was still pounding!
What Su Rui held was indeed a face, or more precisely, a mask made from human skin.
The craftsmanship was exquisite. If he hadn’t thought of this possibility, Su Rui might have been fooled by this human skin mask.
This human skin mask likely came from the previous researcher.
Su Rui said gravely: “If I’m not mistaken, the two researchers you personally recruited have been dead for a long time.”
Lin Aoxue had never encountered anything like this before. She opened her eyes and looked at the human skin mask in Su Rui’s hand, feeling a chill throughout her body, both physically and mentally, completely filled with intense coldness!
“This human skin mask was undoubtedly peeled bit by bit from the face of the previous researcher, then processed with special techniques to become what it is now.”
Su Rui pulled the face mask, showing its elasticity and toughness, stretching like a rubber band.
“The craftsmanship is really excellent.”
Su Rui casually tossed the human skin mask aside. Such an exquisite item would probably fetch a good price in the Western underworld.
Lin Aoxue could hardly bear to look, but since she had insisted on coming in, it would be inappropriate to leave now.
She clearly saw that after Su Rui tore off the human skin mask, a black man’s face was revealed!
She had thought the assassin was white, but it turned out to be a black man disguised with a human skin mask!
“See that? This is how it is,” Su Rui walked to Lin Aoxue’s side. “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Lin Aoxue shook her head: “I’m fine.”
“Trust me, I’ll make them all pay the price they deserve.”
“We may face many challenges in the future,” Su Rui held Lin Aoxue’s shoulders. “With me here, you don’t need to be afraid.”
These simple words made all the coldness in Lin Aoxue’s body disappear.
She trusted this man before her, trusted him from the bottom of her heart.
There’s nothing better than the feeling of mutual trust.
After giving Lin Aoxue a warm look, Su Rui said: “This time, you should leave. What happens next, I really don’t want you to see.”
For some reason, seeing Su Rui’s serious expression, Lin Aoxue felt moved and nodded, voluntarily walking out.
She indeed needed to adjust herself. Today’s events had severely impacted her worldview, and she needed to rest properly.
Although Su Rui’s warm gaze had counteracted the horror brought by the human skin mask, the shadow in her heart hadn’t completely dissipated. Of course, this effect would certainly persist for some time.
“I’ll wait for you in the office,” Lin Aoxue said before closing the door.
She had unconsciously said the words “wait for you,” which would have been almost impossible for her former self!
Su Rui closed the door and walked to Aikema’s side. With Lin Aoxue present, he couldn’t fully act as he wished.
He felt around Aikema’s face and similarly tore off a human skin mask!
Clearly, the previous two researchers had disappeared without a trace!
Su Rui sighed softly, then nudged Aikema’s body with his toe a few times.
Aikema was a white man with a shaved head, small and agile in build. It was precisely this physique that allowed him to rank high on the assassin list. If he had been a large, burly man, his movements probably wouldn’t have been so swift.
After Su Rui kicked him a few times, Aikema slowly regained consciousness.
Upon waking and seeing Su Rui’s face, he immediately assumed a defensive posture, but this further aggravated his wounds, causing fresh blood to flow!
“I advise you not to move. It will only accelerate your death,” Su Rui said calmly.
With his kneecap, metacarpal, and scapula all pierced by the four-edged military dagger, especially the wound on his scapula where Su Rui had forcefully twisted the dagger several times in the bone gap, destroying all surrounding tissue, even if he could miraculously survive, Aikema would be crippled.
Aikema dejectedly lowered his hands. He knew he had fallen into the hands of this devil, and clearly their operation had failed.
But he wondered what had happened to Grete?
Su Rui seemed to read his thoughts and coldly smiled, saying: “Your companion has already gone to meet God.”
What?
Hearing this, Aikema’s heart suddenly tightened!
He turned his head and saw Grete’s corpse!
Moreover, the corpse revealed Grete’s true face; his human skin mask was gone!
A flash of terror crossed Aikema’s face. He quickly reached up to touch his own face and discovered his human skin mask was also missing!
Human skin masks are actually highly technical. The few available on the market can sell for astronomical prices. Such perverse items are almost non-existent in China. How did this man discover them?
At this moment, Aikema couldn’t help but recall the terrifyingly skilled opponent. He was confident in his assassination skills; given sufficient infiltration conditions, taking out some super experts wouldn’t be difficult!
But this man before him had disabled him in just a few moves. In his presence, Aikema had no chance to fight back!
With such ability, he would absolutely become a supreme existence in the Western underworld!
Aikema couldn’t hide the terror in his heart!
China was indeed as reputed; the ancient Eastern nation truly couldn’t be judged by common sense. Before coming to China, someone had warned Aikema to be extra cautious, but despite being careful, extremely careful, they still encountered such a powerful opponent!
“Will you speak, or shall I interrogate you?” Su Rui stared at Aikema.
If the man wouldn’t talk, he wouldn’t mind employing some bloody methods. After all, he had no intention of letting this guy live much longer.
Aikema hesitated, but still enduring the pain and terror, said: “If I give you the answers, can you guarantee I’ll survive?”
“I don’t like people negotiating with me,” Su Rui said coldly. The icy glint in his eyes made Aikema involuntarily shudder!
“You ask, I’ll answer,” Aikema could only reluctantly agree. He didn’t know if the ruthless man before him would spare his life, but living one more minute was better than nothing. Perhaps in the end, because of his good cooperation, this guy might have mercy and let him go?
Of course, for Su Rui, this possibility was practically zero.
“Where are you from?” Su Rui asked the first question.
“We’re from the Western underworld,” Aikema had his own agenda. He had intended to intimidate Su Rui with the name of the Western underworld, but was surprised to see no reaction from him, not even a blink.
Seeing this, Aikema thought Su Rui didn’t understand the concept of the Western underworld, so he tried to add more: “The Western underworld is completely different from the Eastern underworld. The fighting and killing here is nothing compared to the Western underworld. Grete and I belong to the Black Blood Mercenary Group, which ranks among the top three powers in the Western underworld. Even if all of China’s gangs were combined, they wouldn’t be a match for the Black Blood Mercenary Group.”
Aikema was boasting, hoping to make Su Rui back off and spare his life, as being ranked in the top three of the underworld was a tremendous feat. However, he didn’t expect that upon hearing this, Su Rui would step forward and stomp on his kneecap!
And this kneecap had just been pierced by Su Rui’s four-edged military dagger not long ago!
Aikema let out an uncontrollable scream!
Although Su Rui hadn’t broken his bone, the pressure on the wound gave him a feeling of living death!
“Lying won’t do you any good,” Su Rui said coldly. “If a new organization like the Black Blood Mercenary Group could rank in the top three, where would Zeus and the Twelve Divine Generals stand? If your words reached the West, I think the Black Blood Mercenary Group would cease to exist!”
