Chapter 14: Chapter 14
...
Yun Rong carefully sneaks inside the building while following the phone signals in her IRIS. In this darkness, she is like a hunter waiting in the shadows to catch her prey. As she walks up the stairs, she arrives in an area where there are two phone signals. She knew that there are two people nearby.
As she slowly opens the door, the darkness hid her presence while she carefully sneaks to the corner.
She leans by the wall held her breath and then takes a quick peek.
She suddenly discovered that there are not two but three people walking through the corridor with flashlights in their hands.
"I guess not all of them have phones…" she thought.
When the three turn to the corner where Yun Rong was supposed to be standing her figure is already gone.
Then suddenly, from behind the three, she appears with three sharp needles in her hands. These three sharp needles came from the synthesized bullets of the tranquilizer gun. Her SSBC suit was able to synthesize and combine the tranquilizer liquid and made a new batch that could effectively knock her target down faster.
She did not know why she knew the formula but she just did. Using the existing formula of the tranquilizer, she combined it with another which came from the time when she was in prison. It was a lethal poison, but once synthesized and with a proper mixture, one would be able to create a quick-acting tranquilizer.
With a quick dash of her figure, she has already arrived behind the three. Before they knew it, the needles have already hit the back of their necks.
The three fell to the ground unconscious and she drags them inside a room.
"I have an hour before those people would wake up…" she thought as she walks out of the room and through the corridor until she arrives near the stairs.
Suddenly, she noticed a figure leaning on the wall. That person also did not have any phones and he is calmly smoking by the window.
She sneakily arrives behind that guy.
When she was about to prick him with a needle, that guy suddenly lifted his hand and a folding dagger came slashing towards her right side.
Yun Rong was a bit taken aback as she lifted her hand and blocked the dagger.
The guy showed a confused expression as he felt something stung his arm.
With an ugly expression, he suddenly sends a kick towards Yun Rong's figure. However, before the kick could connect, she has already shifted her figure back.
The man suddenly found himself missing his target. But then before he could shout, he found his vision blurring and he fell unconscious.
Yun Rong dragged that guy inside the nearby room where the first three people are in and locked it.
"I need to continue up…" she muttered as she walks up the stairs.
But it seems that her luck is bad today as she immediately sensed two footsteps walking down the stairs. But that was not the only footsteps she could hear. There are actually two sets, one is coming up and the other is walking down.
She did not know how she missed the one from below, but the one coming from above has a heavy footstep. This means that the person is a huge guy.
She did not have any more time to think as she suddenly hid behind the open door.
When the two arrive at the 2nd-floor exit door and found it open, they suddenly showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
"Did someone enter this place?" one of the guys asked.
"I don't know, let's check it out." A deep voice said as the two enter and grab the door.
As it closes, Yun Rong's figure became visible from behind the door but they have already entered the 2nd floor.
She did not think twice and quickly ran up the stairs. She needed to go to the higher floors. She there are no maps of this place as it seems to be an old building and the schematics in this place are unclear. What she got online correct is the location of the main power outlet of the building.
She continues walking up the stairs and soon heard people talking, the voices are coming from the 4th floor.
"What are those guys doing? Why is the power still not back? The boss is getting antsy."
"We should check instead… Maybe something happened…"
"I think this is the reason why the boss called us in this place…"
"Do you think someone is attacking us? Do they plan to steal the antiques and the merchandise?"
"I don't know, but whoever it is, I will make sure that they bleed…"
There are three people talking while walking towards the stairs. Yun Rong who is hiding behind one of the vacant rooms peeks carefully at the corridor and heaves a sigh of relief upon seeing those people have already gone.
She suddenly discovered that behind her are many boxes.
"This might be the merchandise they are talking about…" she muttered as she carefully opens one of them.
Suddenly, Yun Rong's expression change as she saw what is inside the box.
"Are these… handguns?" she muttered as she picks up one of them.
She has used a handgun before while fighting the pirates and has learned how they function by watching some videos. However, from what she knows, handguns are restricted in the country. Those who carry them are only from the law-enforcement agency and some important security personnel. But it seems that the black market will be selling some of it.
As she checks the boxes she saw that there are also boxes for ammunition and also some expensive-looking antiques.
"Check handgun models…" she muttered.
Soon she saw that the models are QSZ-92A/B and QSZ-193.
Although she did not like using handguns, at this moment, she is a bit tempted to. It's like an itch that she could not scratch. Ever since that day when they were attacked by pirates, she feels a sense of familiarity with the metal weapon. However, at the same time, she feels that something is not right with it.
So far, the handguns in the boxes pose a bit of temptation for her due to their size.
"No... I think I should leave this here. Anyway… This is not my purpose here…" She muttered as she quickly walks out of the room.
But then Yun Rong suddenly stopped and then turns around and grabs one of the QSZ-193 handguns which is smaller and is the one that has tempted her the most. She was really trying to fight the urge to take a weapon but her instinct is telling her to grab one.
When she was in the sea, she first grabs the handgun and tried using it for the first time, but it did not work. She soon learned that she should have unlatched the safety of the handgun so that she would be able to use it.
Then she felt the exhilaration at that time when using the handgun for the first time. At that time, she was shot by the weapon and due to her fast reflexes, she barely dodges the bullet. And when she was able to use it, her heart could not help but feel the tinge of reminiscence of a feeling that seems familiar yet not familiar, it's like a muscle memory that does not exist in her mind.
And so because of this, she felt a bit tempted to grab one of the guns and use it. And what tempted her the most is the shape of the gun. It is small and handy, it really piques her interest and desire to have one.
After grabbing a gun, she then rummages through another box and takes out three ammunition magazines.
She then walks out of the room and locked it from the inside.
Yun Rong soon reaches the fourth floor and could hear someone talking inside a room.
The voice is a bit familiar to her so she quickly realized that she has already found her target.
…
"Manager Jung, I think we should report this to the main branch. The boss would not like not knowing that we have this kind of trouble…" Manager Jung's assistant and sales personnel, Yee Sila said.
She is holding a small combat knife while rotating it in her palm.
"Do you think I can't handle this? And you are also here, should we really fear that woman?"
"Sigh… Although she defeated me, I was just caught off guard at that time. But I can tell you this, that woman is not simple. She might look naïve and innocent, but her fighting technique is different. But I noticed that she uses boxing. However, there is something else in her fighting style that I could not read..."
"Do not make excuses! It is already clear to me that you have been defeated… If you had just taken care of this mess in the prison then we would not have this kind of problem!" shouted Manager Jung.
"How dare you blame me? Blame those two buffoons for not being able to hold themselves against a mere woman…"
"Aww… Shut up!"
Yee Sila was a bit angry and wanted to retort but she did not. She knew that it was her fault that the young woman was able to escape. The mission given to her was to eliminate their target. But instead, their target was able to escape under their nose and worst they got beaten and were locked in the prison cell instead.
As a secret assassin hired by the black market and the House of Golden Flask, she should have been able to defeat that young woman. But that humiliation made Yee Sila feel a bit of discontent.
"Humph… If I see her again, I will make sure that she will be dead." She said as she suddenly grabs something from behind her.
"You… you took one of the handguns? That would cause us too much trouble! I have already given you one, why would you use the newly arrive guns?" Manager Jung said with a frown.
"The one you gave me was taken by the police, don't you remember? So I need this one so that that I can kill her easily… Plus I have… this… So you don't have to worry about anything else." Yee Sila then takes out a suppressor and installs it on the handgun.
"With this, you don't have to worry about the sound… Hihi…" Yee Sila chuckled as a sinister gleam appears in her eyes.
Thud!
The two suddenly heard something.
They were immediately alarmed and began looking in the direction of where the sound came from.
Yee Sila is already pointing her gun at the door.
"Check it out!" Manager Jung said as he grabs a golf club from the corner.
Yee Sila nodded her head and slowly approaches the door.
"Hey, is somebody out there?" she called out and then waited for the answer.
When no one answered, Yee Sila immediately felt that something is wrong. She quickly stood on guard and slowly approaches the door. She then tried to feel the situation outside. When did not hear anything, she carefully grabs the doorknob and slowly twisted it open.
She is not sure what is happening outside and where that sound came from, but she is not afraid. Her confidence is brimming due to the weapon she is wielding.
