Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Infernal Labyrinth 23

Zhou Yonghou watched so many people embrace, yet only An Jiayi and Lu Junsheng stood facing each other. Some of his dejection dissipated, his gaze turning to the fireworks filling the sky: “Two hearts yearn for each other under the same snow, in this life, we will grow old together. If white hair can be replaced by snow, then what sorrow is there in the world? If only you were by my side, why would we need snow to turn our hair white? ”

Watching the fireworks under the same sky, they were essentially celebrating the new year together.

On Racecourse Day, Lu Junsheng took An Jiayi out to experience the world. Liuli was somewhat absent-minded today because Jianbing’s Book of Fate glowed red. She thought this world would remain peaceful until the end…

The Book of Fate said that today a sniper would threaten Zhou Yonghou’s life. But the sniper rifle’s range determined that she could not possibly find the opponent with her eyes alone, let alone knowing where they would ambush. Unless she spread her Spiritual Sense to cover the entire range a sniper could operate, if she did that, she was afraid the Heavenly Dao here would throw her out of this Small World.

“Tuánzi, can you talk to the Heavenly Dao here? If I can’t use my Spiritual Sense, at least let you use yours! Otherwise, I really don’t know how to dodge. How would a normal person dodge a bullet…”

Tuánzi proved useful, very actively communicating with the Heavenly Dao. Finally, the Heavenly Dao only agreed to let Liuli use her Spiritual Sense for one day, and she could only use it to search and do nothing else.

After all, they came to help the God General undergo Tribulation. As long as it didn’t affect the development of the entire world, the Heavenly Dao had no reason to fight them to the death. A compromise was acceptable.

Liuli, having received a clear answer, felt much relieved. Her Spiritual Sense immediately spread out, and unsurprisingly, she saw Lu Junsheng in the car downstairs, and Zhou Yonghou driving.

Liuli didn’t find any suspicious personnel nearby, so she changed her clothes and went downstairs.

Seeing Zhou Yonghou driving, she feigned surprise: “Lu Sheng, A Hao is driving today? ”

Lu Junsheng didn’t explain, but on New Year’s Eve, he seemed to have seen Zhou Yonghou in the crowd. Remembering how Zhou Yonghou pointed a gun at An Jiayi, he suspected Zhou Yonghou was still following An Jiayi.

It’s better to have danger in the open than hidden in the dark, so he decided to keep Zhou Yonghou close.

Liuli was somewhat worried. Could it be that the Server Room mission made Lu Junsheng suspect Zhou Yonghou again, so he brought him back under his supervision…?

Then whose influence was behind this sniper? Not just anyone can get a sniper rifle, let alone use one proficiently.

Either some force hired a killer—possibly Lu Junsheng discovered Zhou Yonghou’s anomaly and ordered a sniper to kill him—or it was an assassination attempt by another force against Lu Junsheng.

But if the target was Lu Junsheng, how was Zhou Yonghou threatened by the sniper? That line of thought doesn’t work. Could someone be after her life?

If it’s her life, Liang Chen is the most likely suspect. He only needed to conceal her undercover status, provide some ambiguous evidence, and instruct the Police Force’s sniper to kill her. If the target was her, Zhou Yonghou trying to save her makes sense.

So the target of this attack is either Zhou Yonghou or herself. She’s just support staff; why target her?!

The car arrived at the Racecourse without incident. Liuli closed her eyes and rested, concentrating on searching for suspicious personnel nearby.

Lu Junsheng thought An Jiayi hadn’t slept well the previous night and didn’t speak to her along the way.

“An An, we’re here. Didn’t you sleep well yesterday? Do you want to sleep a little longer in the car? ”

Liuli shook her head: “I’ve rested well. Let’s go. ”

Liuli had a hunch the sniper was most likely after her: “Why don’t you let A Hao wait in the car? He pointed a gun at me last time, I’m scared. ”

Liuli watched the Book of Fate. Sure enough, when she suggested that Zhou Yonghou shouldn’t enter the Racecourse, the red light flickered. The target was indeed not Zhou Yonghou; he was collateral damage.

Lu Junsheng considered it and still let Zhou Yonghou follow: “An An, don’t be afraid. I’m here. I won’t let him hurt you. There are many people inside, a mix of all sorts, so it’s better to have someone with us. ”

Liuli saw the Book of Fate flicker and then glow bright red again. This tactic wouldn’t work; she still needed to find the opponent’s location and then consider her next move.

They weren’t early. There was no one else around the betting points on the stands. Lu Junsheng explained to Liuli how to bet and which horses seemed to have the advantage. Liuli’s Spiritual Sense detected a person with a backpack on the roof behind them. The parts of a sniper rifle were taken out of the bag, assembled in a few movements.

Although the person was in civilian clothes, every movement was exactly like the steps she learned at the Police Academy—standard and precise, with the rigid correctness of systematic training.

So the opponent was from the Police Force. This again confirmed that the target was her…

What the heck! In a team fight, they don’t attack the ADC first, but the support? What kind of logic is that?!

And Liang Chen, he isn’t even pretending anymore!

When Zhou Yonghou looked back and saw the familiar reflection on the opposite rooftop, Liuli turned towards Zhou Yonghou the moment the opponent fired, tripping and pushing him down.

The moment they fell, the sound of a bullet missing its target and hitting the wall came. The people at the Racecourse were so absorbed in the excitement of betting that they didn’t even know what happened. Only those nearby heard the sound, turned around, and screamed in fright: “Bullet! A gun! Someone fired a shot! Run! ”

The news spread like wildfire. The entire Racecourse was in chaos. Lu Junsheng’s face darkened. After pulling An Jiayi up, ignoring Zhou Yonghou, he quickly left with the crowd.

The trajectory of the bullet was clearly aimed at An Jiayi. If someone wanted to kill An An and in this way, it could only be Liang Chen. He was relieved she had escaped, but how did she dodge…?

Did she receive a message beforehand and sense something was wrong? Looking back, she was unusually quiet in the car. Was she planning her actions once they arrived?

But how did she know the sniper would fire at that moment, and dodge so cleverly?

As for whether the sniper would fire again, Lu Junsheng knew it was impossible. Aside from the fact that they were now alert after the first shot, in such a chaotic crowd, if the opponent was really from the police, they wouldn’t risk firing a second shot.

He had long suspected An An might be an undercover agent for the Police Force, but he didn’t care. In a situation like this, Liang Chen and An An were clearly at odds. He didn’t believe An An would still work for the police, but in that situation, An An pushing down Zhou Yonghou… he couldn’t accept that!
