YM778.TV Chapter 26: Second blood
He stopped when he saw a gun aimed at his head. He raised his hand to show his surrender while he said after a slight gulp, "Look, earlier was just a joke. We can… we can come to an agreement."
Wei Jun didn\'t even flinch slightly and shot the man in the head instead of giving any sort of reply. Now the only people in the room that were alive were Wei Jun, the trembling Xiao Heiling who was sitting on his knees, locked with his arm, and the knocked-out gangster from whom, Wei Jun had snatched the gun.
Wei Jun ignored the trembling man and pointed his gun at the door. As expected, the door opened slightly after a few seconds and even before the person could peak properly, he was shot in the head through the door. It was the guard outside the door.
Then, before the rest of the company could join in, Wei Jun moved over to the knocked-out gangster and put the gun in his hand. Then he pressed the trigger after aiming the gun at the gangster\'s head with his own hand.
Wei Jun then equipped a mask worth ten gold and picked a few guns from the dead gangsters. There were still people alive in the club but they all didn\'t need to die. Only those that could block his escape path. Wei Jun slowly peeked out through the bullet hole in the door. There were three people who were deciding whether to go in or not.
Two of them were bouncers while the third one was from the few gangsters Wei Jun had spotted upon entering the club. Without waiting, Wei Jun prepared himself and before the rest could do anything, Wei Jun jumped from behind the door and headshot all three of them.
Once they were all dead, Wei Jun pointed at the cameras he had noticed and shot them as well.
After the cameras were destroyed, Wei Jun calmly moved over to the desk of the boss, harshly pushing the dead body of the boss off the chair and starting the computer. It was password protected but he easily bypassed it and soon, Wei Jun located what he was looking for.
The camera feed of the last ten days. Since there was a risk of recovery, after making sure that there weren\'t more servers with the same connections, Wei Jun transferred everything to the hard drive from the online server, completely erased the data, and then took the hard drive out of the computer.
Then his gaze traveled to the still kneeling Xiao Heiling, still trembling and from the slight browning on his pants, who had done something quite embarrassing too. Wei Jun didn\'t say anything about it since it was a natural reaction. If he hadn\'t shown such a reaction during this massacre, then Wei Jun would have doubted Xiao Heiling.
"Come on, let\'s go." Wei Jun picked Xiao Heiling who started to apologize for things he didn\'t even do. Wei Jun ignored him and collected the guns from all the gangsters. He stored all of those guns except for the ones he had used to kill the gangsters in his inventory.
Wei Jun searched for a cloth and found a jacket from one of the gangsters. Wei Jun took it off carefully and threw it at Xiao Heiling, who obviously missed it.
"Pick it up, take your pants off, clean yourself, and wrap this around you. Don\'t forget your pants though." Wei Jun instructed the still-disoriented Xiao Heiling.
After that, Wei Jun searched around the room, typically behind the paintings, and soon found what he was looking for. A safe. Unfortunately, he didn\'t know how to crack it in such a short time frame.
\'Oi, open it.\' He instructed his system inside his head.
[That… Host, I cannot intervene in your life much]
\'Open it.\' Wei Jun said with a scary face that if the system had a face, surely a nervous expression could have been seen on that face.
[An appropriate price is needed for interference]
\'Open it for free.\' Wei Jun said next, his expression contorting even further which was concealed behind the mask.
[Ye… Yes]
The system in the end gave in and asked Wei Jun to put his hand on the safe. Wei Jun did so and soon after a second, the safe clicked open. Wei Jun turned the wheel and opened it to see a lot of jewelry and cash. There were also documents but unfortunately, Wei Jun could not do anything about them since the owner was probably dead.
He stored everything that he could inside his inventory which was about a couple million yuans aside from the gold and jewelry.
Xiao Heiling had done what he was asked by now and was tightly clutching his sh*t-stained pants while he was still trembling.
"Come on." Wei Jun said and began to move out of the club. The remaining people inside the club had abandoned the club. It wasn\'t like Wei Jun to leave witnesses but he couldn\'t just kill everyone here right now.
Wei Jun came out and opened the car door. He was hesitant to let Xiao Heiling in but he was needed to make the movies so Wei Jun had no choice but to let him in.
Wei Jun then drove away but he was careful on the way back. On the way to the club, he had noticed road cameras. He made sure to avoid those on the same route and took some detours to make it so that if one checked the feed, it would seem like Wei Jun never stopped somewhere and headed to the hillside area of the city.
Wei Jun spent some time there and then returned to the city using another route, creating an alibi for himself. It wasn\'t a reliable alibi since his stay at the club was almost fifteen minutes, but it was still believable because there was no way he could have killed all those people in fifteen minutes.
"We won\'t speak of what happened again. Understood?" Wei Jun asserted his position with a strict tone. Xiao Heiling was already scared. Seeing that Wei Jun wasn\'t affected after the killings unsettled him even more. He thought about ending his deal with Wei Jun.
Just at that moment, Wei Jun spoke, "And don\'t think of canceling our deal. Now you are a witness to a murder. If I feel a threat from you, I will have to kill you too."
Xiao Heiling trembled because of the serious tone Wei Jun had adopted. There was no doubt. If Xiao Heiling did something detrimental to Wei Jun, Wei Jun would kill him.
"Under… Understood." Xiao Heiling spoke in a trembling tone. Wei Jun didn\'t reply and stopped outside of a hotel.
"Go inside. Rent a room." Wei Jun said while handing Xiao Heiling a couple of thousand yuans. Then he resumed his instructions, "The jacket you\'re covering yourself with, once done with everything, make sure to burn it."
Xiao Heiling nodded in understating so Wei Jun said his last piece of instruction, "Also be at the agency by six in the evening. If you are late, I will come find you myself. And you won\'t like it."
Once Wei Jun was sure that Xiao Heiling was properly scared, Wei Jun drove off to get his car cleaned before anything else.
While driving, Wei Jun addressed the system, "Oi." Since no one was around, he didn\'t bother speaking in his mind.
[Yes, host]
"What is the meaning of this? I couldn\'t ask you last time because I was focused on work."
What Wei Jun referring to was this set of notifications that appeared every time he killed someone.
[You have killed a human being]
[No Qi detected]
[No stat gain possible]
For a few moments, the system didn\'t reply as if considering its reply. Wei Jun didn\'t press on and patiently waited for an answer.
After a while, the system replied.
[I have no idea, host]
[Whatever it is, it isn\'t the function of the system]
"You mean to say you don\'t know anything about it?" Wei Jun asked, rather than dissatisfaction, curiosity all over his face.
[No, host]
[In the first place, it\'s not like I know everything about the system]
[I am, in the end, a support after all]
Wei Jun didn\'t ask for anything more. For now, he needed to contemplate the information provided by the system.
=====
I wanted to make a proper action scene with a lot of neck-snapping and bone-cracking but considering before guns, such moves are somewhat impractical. Gun shot is more logical, not to mention easier.
Let me know what you think.
