Chapter 476: Family Members
No one can survive after being shot through the neck by a sniper bullet.
Not even A-Class experts.
Qing Chen walked through the corridor, his face illuminated by the passing tritium lamps, and then he stepped back into darkness.
At that moment, he even put away his Black Sniper âMoral Persuasion,â confident that there were no other living people in the corridor besides himself.
The Puppeteer on his wrist danced, and wherever Qing Chen passed, corpses and bloodstains vanished without a trace.
When Qing Chen sacrificed the last B-Class Expertâs body, the Puppeteerâs threads dyed red from the blood grew visibly at an alarming rate.
âŠ
The second thread grew fifteen meters in a single burst.
Qing Chen contemplated, a B-Class could add fifteen meters, what about an A-Class then? Could it fully form the second thread?
But, A-Class were not so easy to kill.
It was already a great fortune to have killed a B-Class tonight, taking advantage of the geographical situation. To even fantasize about killing an A-Class was overly ambitious.
Moreover, without the Heartless Bronze Bell, he wouldnât have been able to grasp the timing of the fight so well.
Qing Chen recalled the Heartless Bronze Bell hanging eave on his corner, and with his memory, he knew it wasnât the same one as before.
Even the way it was tied was different.

Perhaps it was switched by someone when he was keeping the old man company by Dragon Lake.
It seemed that the person only intended to play a small prank on him, not intending for him to be âplayedâ to death.
Considering this, he would not blame the old man tomorrow.
Qing Chen thought it over again and again; he felt that with all the B-Class dead here, whether it was Jindai or whoever from Deer Island, they would probably suspect this place to be a trap.
There shouldnât be anyone else coming.
Thus, it was time to deal with Luo Wanyaâs issue.
Qing Chen hadnât saved Luo Wanya previously because he wanted to assess the capabilities of General Luo, a renowned figure in Los Angeles City, allowing the bullet to âflyâ for a while.
Truth be told, he hadnât expected the bullet to âflyâ for three days, which was indeed a bit too longâŠ
He wondered whether General Luo could withstand it.
However, saving Luo Wanya couldnât happen today; he had already used up his peak condition earlier.
Qing Chen needed to replenish his energy.
He turned and walked back down the corridor.
As Qing Chen returned to Autumn Leaf Courtyard, he suddenly noticed something amiss.
Unbeknownst to him, there was an additional person in the room.
There lay Li Changqing, with her long black hair, wearing black leather and sleeping on Qing Chenâs bed, her face looking weary and not as radiant as usual.
The womanâs eyelashes fluttered slightly, obviously pretending to sleep.
Qing Chen looked at the table where his âNo Visitorsâ sign engraved with those very words was tossed aside by Li Changqing.
He was somewhat amused. This strong-willed woman didnât make any sense. He had just established some rules for the Li Family, but it seemed they were useless in front of Li Changqing.
At this moment, Li Changqing heard the noise and slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at Qing Chen not far away and chuckled lightly, âBack already?â
âYes,â Qing Chen nodded and casually asked, âDid you sleep well?â
Li Changqing also nodded, âYour bed smells really good, it knocked me right out. Iâve recently been suffering from severe insomnia. Maybe I should just move in here?â
Qing Chen calmly responded, âIf you find it smells good, you can take the blanket with you. Iâll have Li Ke send a new set tomorrow.â
âBoring,â Li Changqing lay across the bed, propping up her head with her arm, curiously studying Qing Chen, âI thought I faintly heard gunshots earlier, must have been you killing someone in the secret passage, right? But how come you look as if nothingâs happened, were the assassins weak?â
âDid you know about this hidden passage?â Qing Chen asked, avoiding mentioning that among the assassins, there were B-Class.
âI just found out today,â Li Changqing smiled, âThe old man told me. He asked me to keep watch outside the Microcosm Community to see if there was a chance to follow the vine to the melon, and pull out some people. But donât worry, although my people are guarding outside the Microcosm Community, they donât know thereâs a secret passage inside. By the way, are all the assassins in the passage dead? I was hoping to keep some for interrogation.â
Qing Chen frowned, âIf you had told me earlier, I could have left some alive.â
âNo worries,â Li Changqing got up, sat cross-legged on Qing Chenâs bed, and smiled, âDead or alive doesnât matter, as long as you are fine.â
Qing Chen suddenly realized that this womanâs presence in Autumn Leaf Courtyard late at night wasnât accidental, nor was it to cure her insomnia here.
She knew the assassins might act tonight, so she specifically came to protect him at Autumn Leaf Courtyard!
Only, upon seeing that Qing Chen was safe, she didnât intervene!
It had to be said, Li Changqing really did care about him a lot, from sending Genetic Potions to coming here in the middle of the night to ensure his safety. Though Qing Chen didnât voice it, he was keeping it in his heart.
Nevertheless, Qing Chen pointed at the âNo Visitorsâ wooden sign on the table, âYou can understand the two characters on it, right?â
Li Changqing feigned annoyance, âHey, I was the one who brought you into the semi-mountain mansion, and Iâve been so good to you. Donât I deserve a little privilege? Donât you have a conscience! Do you know it was me who personally tied the Heartless Bronze Bell on your eave!â
Qing Chen was taken aback, so thatâs how it was.
âOf course, you can have a privilege,â Qing Chen sighed, âBut at least hang the âNo Visitorsâ sign back on the door. What if someone else comes to visit?â
