TTW Chapter 185: Killing Intent (Patreon)

As the words fell, the muzzle of the large sniper rifle was still emitting blue smoke. The 1.2-meter long, all-metal gun body was lifted by Lin Yi with one hand. The frigate bullet shot out at high speed, hitting Susie directly in the chest. A splash of crimson, the beautiful girl slowly fell to the ground. The feminine Colt pistol she had been holding in her palm also dropped to the ground.

Although he cherishes the fairer sex, at this moment, to avoid further trouble, he had to be ruthless.

Having dealt with the problem, Lin Yi shifted his gaze back to the parking lot below. Another familiar face appeared in his field of vision: Lu Mingfei. Just like in the original story, he too had joined this campus fight. However, he didn't know that this was all just a game. This battle, due to the frigate bullets, felt incredibly real. One had to admit that it was indeed a protagonist's halo that allowed him to last until the end amid such heavy gunfire.

Lying motionless on the ground littered with corpses, Lu Mingfei held his breath to avoid revealing that he was the last 'living person.' Unknown stains of blood made his school uniform also quite crimson. He seemed to have some talent for acting; with such acting skills, he might make it big in Hollywood.

Lin Yi smiled faintly, also noticing Lu Mingfei. His eyes flickered.

At the same time.

The hunting knife "Dictator" in Caesar's hand was incredibly strong, while Chu Zihang's "Muramasa" was like a ghost blending into the air, suddenly appearing to make a fatal slash. Every time it was intercepted by "Dictator," it would immediately withdraw and once again turn into an almost invisible blur at high speed. The deadly fights between the two were as graceful as a dance performance, so fast that Lu Mingfei couldn't see clearly. A blurred black figure, a blurred deep red figure, the shadow of Dictator, and the strong sunlight reflected by Muramasa, all mixed together, inseparable.

The vibration of Chu Zihang's sword in the air became increasingly intense, mixed with Caesar's roar, the atmosphere thick with murderous intent.

Lu Mingfei had accidentally played dead in a dangerous area and could only keep praying not to be discovered.

Lu Mingfei was very nervous; he was afraid of death at this moment.

Suddenly, faint footsteps emanated from behind the narrow path. Lu Mingfei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his ears perking up as the footsteps got closer. His heart was in his throat; the other party had a gun! These 'cold-blooded' people wouldn't hesitate to give him a bullet if they found him.

An agile figure flashed by, lightly jumping up, but happened to step right on Lu Mingfei's abdomen.

"Ah!"

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but cry out in pain.

The girl in the deep red combat suit was startled. She instantly drew her Colt pistol from her waist, spun around, squatted down skillfully, and aimed the gun behind her. Her eyes met Lu Mingfei's.

"Nono, it's me! It's me!" Lu Mingfei sighed in relief and became excited. He didn't expect the last living person here, besides the two knife-wielding maniacs, to be Chen Motong, someone he knew.

"You?" Nono was also somewhat surprised when she saw Lu Mingfei's face, and was momentarily stunned.

Their eyes met. Lu Mingfei blinked. The familiar pair of beautiful, lively eyes thrilled him, as did her dark red hair tied in a ponytail and the four-leaf clover earrings that swayed on her ears.

"Come, little rabbit, let's hug!" A voice rang in his head. Those beautiful eyes were looking at him when the words were spoken, startlingly beautiful.

"Sister, don't shoot! I don't know anything, I don't even know why I'm here," Lu Mingfei hurriedly pleaded. A small bullet could take his life, so he quickly raised both hands. "I surrender! I'm just a passerby!"

"Get down!" Nono hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shouted, raising her Colt's muzzle.

Bang!

Without thinking, Lu Mingfei lay flat on the ground. A bullet whizzed by, grazing his hair. It missed his head by a hair's breadth. Lin Yi pulled the trigger, calculating the perfect trajectory with a margin of error less than 0.00001 seconds. Even a gun king wouldn't have stood a chance.

Flames burst from the sniper rifle's muzzle. A 0.5-inch caliber bullet hit Nono's chest squarely. A large bloodstain spread from her chest, and the force of the large-caliber bullet sent her flying.

Lu Mingfei quickly turned his head. In his sight was Lin Yi's face, untouched by the smoke and dust, the muzzle of the dark gun still emitting smoke. He looked back at Nono, still unable to believe what he saw. But the vivid blood, staining large patches of her deep red combat suit, told him it was all real. It was all real!

Lin Yi squinted his eyes, not disturbing Lu Mingfei who was standing still in a daze. At this moment, he even looked a bit foolish and mad, his eyes as wide as bells, silently watching him while murmuring, "Don't disappoint me…"

A large patch of blood spread across Nono's chest, turning her deep red combat uniform black. A large-caliber sniper bullet had hit her squarely in the chest. She almost fell backward, but using her last bit of strength, she managed to sit upright.

"Why…"

Lu Mingfei couldn't understand why his so-called 'big brother' would want to take his life.

Although he lacked the courage to confess, he had to admit that he was love-at-first-sight, or perhaps 'lust at first sight,' when he first saw Nono.

But isn't Nono a senior?

Lu Mingfei couldn't believe his own eyes, but the blood streaming down Nono's chest reminded him that it was all real. Her eyes were scattered, showing signs of dying.

Lu Mingfei abruptly clasped his head; he was in intense pain, as if something deep within him was trying to burst out. Everything went pitch black, and bright golden pupils opened on the dark screen, a bell-like voice saying, "Willing to exchange?"

Exchange? Exchange what?

A vague impulse made him want to agree, as if agreeing would change something. The moment he agreed, something would change.

Lin Yi stood still, silently waiting.

He wanted to see to what extent Lu Mingfei could go, fueled only by rage. After all, he was his own little brother, and he needed to know him thoroughly.

One second, two seconds, suddenly, Lu Mingfei slowly lifted his head, his ordinary black pupils carrying a killing intent for the first time. His expressionless face slowly lifted, a killing intent swept across like a knife cutting the wind. Both Chu Zihang and Caesar, who were still dueling, hastily retreated a step, turning their heads to look in Lu Mingfei's direction.

The development of the situation had exceeded their expectations, whether it was Nono, who was lying on the ground with her chest soaked in blood, or Lin Yi, who was holding the Swiss Sauer SSG 3000 sniper rifle that originally belonged to Susie.
