My Chip that Disguises Itself as a Cell - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Sudden Attack

He slipped out of the factory and came to a quiet street. If it weren’t for the fact that the street lights were still on, he would have thought he had come to the end of the world.

“Sigh, I wonder if any cars are willing to take orders in this remote place. Otherwise, I’ll have to walk to a crowded place.” Lin Zhendong took out his phone and was about to call a cab.

At this moment, a red alert suddenly lit up in front of his eyes.

Without thinking, he put his phone back into his storage space and did a few backflips. Several black daggers were stabbed into the ground where he had been standing.

The attack did not stop. The black dagger chased after Lin Zhendong without stopping, forcing Lin Zhendong to hide in the factory.

Hiding in the pitch-black factory, Lin Zhendong finally calmed down and had the time to look at the chip’s notification.

[Target is hostile (Assassination). Strength: E-rank.]

He heaved a sigh of relief. There was only one enemy, and it was only an E-rank. He should be able to defeat the assassin, right?

However, he shook his head helplessly. There was no need to think about it. The person who came to attack must be the existence of the Vodun Sect.

Su Yan’s sister had kept them busy, and they did not have time for him. Moreover, they probably did not take him seriously. Otherwise, why would they send out an E-rank attacker after him?

Any random C-rank would be enough to take his life.

Moreover, the attacker was likely to be an assassin and not from the Vodun Sect.

Otherwise, with the reputation of the Vodun Sect and the worm they used in the second-class lairs, they would not need to use weapons to kill Lin Zhendong. They could poison him or send bugs to attack him.

After confirming this, Lin Zhendong heaved a sigh of relief and decided to fight back.

With a thought, he took out a saber from his storage space. He silently pulled out the weapon and stood quietly in the darkness with the saber in his hand.

With the saber in hand, Lin Zhendong became even more courageous. He licked his lips and said, “Humph, I have to let this assassin know how strong the elites of the third-year body technique class are!”

Lin Zhendong could not see their fingers. At the same time, he could not hear the slightest movement. This assassin’s infiltration ability was not bad.

However, under the effect of the chip, the assassin did not know that he was like a firefly in the night.

The chip could even identify a silent helicopter that flew a few hundred meters away in the night sky, let alone a hostile person right next to it.

Therefore, when Lin Zhendong saw the assassin enter his attack range, Lin Zhendong did not even think about it and immediately slashed his saber fiercely.

It was unknown if it were the wind or the killing intent that gave the warning. Whenever the assassin attacked, Lin Zhendong immediately sensed it and raised his knife to block it.

Clang! Clang! Clang! A series of clashing sounds rang out as the two began to fight rapidly in the darkness.

During the fight, the assassin would occasionally throw out a dagger. However, Lin Zhendong would either dodge it or chop it down.

The two of them continued to fight.

Lin Zhendong did not know what the other party was doing, but he had fought to the fullest. The saber techniques he had learned in the body technique class had been rapidly improved and integrated into this life-and-death battle.

In the past, Lin Zhendong, like many of his classmates, had despised the simplicity of the saber techniques in the body technique class. However, only after a life-and-death battle did he understand it was useful. The class did provide the saber technique that the country had gathered countless saber technique experts to compile and condense. It was suitable for the public to learn and use!

This saber technique wouldn’t give any super powerful or strange saber techniques. Everything was so righteous and grand, and it could also be used for offense and defense.

It wasn’t a profound saber technique, but it was enough for a person proficient in this set of saber techniques to fight against experts with similar strength.

Therefore, Lin Zhendong was lucky this time. The assassin who came was only an E-rank, about the same strength as him. That was why he could fight so easily.

Moreover, he had a deeper understanding and mastery of the saber techniques in the body techniques class.

If a D-rank swordsman had come at the start, Lin Zhendong would have been killed. But now that a D-rank swordsman had come, Lin Zhendong could still fight against him for a while.

Lin Zhendong felt the life and death experience that was impossible to experience in this body technique skills class, and he quickly improved his strength.

Even if the assassin didn’t notice this at the beginning, he would naturally be able to sense it later on. The target was using him as a target to practice his saber technique.

The assassin was flustered and exasperated, and he immediately started shouting. Lin Zhendong frowned at the unfamiliar language. It was a foreign assassin? How did he sneak in?

The assassin suddenly dodged a slash and retreated. Just as Lin Zhendong was about to unleash his ultimate move, Lin Zhendong shouted, “Go to hell!”

With a series of puffing sounds, the assassin fell to the ground without any struggle, with 20 bloody holes in his body.

“Hmph, I could have killed you in one move when I threw the dagger in the previous battle. The only reason why I dragged it out for so long was to improve my saber technique.” Lin Zhendong muttered as he swung the blade, pulled out the scabbard, and put it back into his storage space.

Lin Zhendong was not an idiot. Even if he wanted to continue practicing his saber techniques, the other party would not cooperate. Moreover, he was prepared to use an ultimate move. He could only use a finger to shoot out a small black egg and finish off the other party in one move.

After all, in this day and age, no one knew what kind of ultimate move someone was hiding. If the other party used it, Lin Zhendong might be killed in one move instead.

Therefore, safety was the most important thing.

It was dark, so Lin Zhendong did not see the tragic state of the corpse, so he did not feel uncomfortable after killing someone.

He wanted to leave and call the police later. However, he stopped and hesitated.

If Lin Zhendong called the police, he would have to make a record, and the police would ask him why the assassin wanted to kill him. How would he answer?

Would the assassin tell the truth? Although Su Yan’s sister had told Lin Zhendong he report it directly to his superior, he would be interrogated back and forth for several days if he did so. Lin Zhendong might even have to hand over the 500 gold coins he had received.

It was so troublesome, and there were no benefits. Lin Zhendong didn’t want to do it. With such a thought, it meant that Lin Zhendong did not have the mentality that he was already a member of the Special Protection Department.

However, this was normal. Lin Zhendon had taken leave to prepare for the exam when he joined the company and had not had time to attend the on-the-job training. His mentality still hadn’t shifted from the commoners.

“Yes, destroy the corpse and eliminate the evidence. Just pretend that this matter never happened.” Lin Zhendong made this decision subconsciously.

Lin Zhendong threw out ten black flames at the location of the corpse. With a thought, he prepared to burn the corpse into ashes.

However, things were out of his expectations. There was not a trace of fire, which made him think the flames did not attach to the corpse. But what was with the crazy drop in energy? There was no way to stop it, and the consumption rate was fast. Lin Zhendong felt that the energy in his body had rapidly dropped to the warning line.

When he was just a hair away from being drained dry, the crazy consumption of energy finally stopped.

“F*ck! What’s going on?” Just as Lin Zhendong was about to examine his body carefully, a hint of information appeared in his mind. Then, he was stunned.

After comprehending the information, Lin Zhendong was extremely shocked. “It can’t be, right? Is this the use of the [Wood Elemental Shadow]?”
