Capítulo 53: Chapter 53: Killer
In the early hours of the morning, the night was as dark as ink.
While Yan Yuchen was weaving sweet dreams to heal Chen Qizhen's mental trauma, in the courtyard of the Yan family, three masked men dressed in black silently descended from the courtyard wall.
"Swoosh!"
The three men exchanged glances, simultaneously unsheathing knives from their waists, their eyes cold and gleaming as they looked toward the house.
"Four targets, kill them all! Except for a woman with some martial arts skills, the rest are all useless. Move quickly and don't give them a chance to scream!"
One of the masked men whispered, gesturing with his hand. With the other two, they menacingly approached the door.
As the lead man was about to kick open the door, a shadow suddenly darted out from the corner, biting down fiercely on his thigh and then swiftly escaping.
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, the lead masked man felt a piercing pain in his thigh and involuntarily let out a cry.
"Damn! It seems like a rat!"
The second masked man behind him exclaimed in surprise.
Clutching his bloody thigh, the lead man grimaced in pain, angrily saying, "Kick the door! Kill first, then set the place on fire and burn it all down!"
"Bang!"
The sturdy wooden door was kicked open, and the three men, wielding steel knives, rushed inside.
"Whoosh!"
A chair suddenly flew from the darkness. The lead man swung his knife, splitting the chair in half, gritting his teeth and saying, "Eliminate the whole family of four!"
Mother Yan, holding a long sword, rushed out from the bedroom, desperately trying to stop the three assailants. She urgently shouted to Yan's father, who was approaching with a chair, "Quick, take Chen and Xiaoxi away!"
Yan Xiaoxi, still half-asleep, was startled by a mouse climbing on her face. When she heard the sounds of the fight outside and her mother's call, her face changed instantly. Without even putting on her shoes, she hurried out of the bedroom towards her brother's room.
Mother Yan, with limited martial skills, was no match for the three killers. After a few moves, she was kicked in the abdomen by one of the masked men and fell to the ground.
The lead man sneered, raised his knife, and viciously slashed towards mother Yan!
Father Yan roared and rushed forward with the chair, but with a sharp sound, the steel knife shattered the chair, its momentum unabated. The knife struck father Yan on the shoulder!
"Dad!"
Yan Xiaoxi, her face pale, rushed forward with a tearful voice.
In the midst of this chaos, a masked man sneered, a cruel glint in his eyes as he gripped the knife handle and ruthlessly swung it toward the girl's head, intending to split her in half!
"Xiaoxi!"
Witnessing this horrifying scene, Yan's parents were instantly horrified, their faces filled with despair.
At that critical moment, two shadows suddenly pounced on the masked man—one from the left, one from the right. Both bit into his arm!
The masked man yelled in pain, his knife losing its strength. With a sharp sound, it cut across Yan Xiaoxi's cheek as she escaped the fatal blow.
Despite the pain, Yan Xiaoxi, now spared from the immediate danger, rushed to her parents, crying.
"Damn! It's that damn mouse again! And there are two of them this time!"
The bitten masked man, clutching his bleeding arm, cursed loudly in pain.
Two small mice landed on the ground, shielding Yan Xiaoxi and her parents. Their small eyes glowed slightly red, gleaming with a bloodthirsty light!
"Oh, damn rodents! They must be possessed! Kill them quickly, and make it swift! I don't believe these two little beasts can defy us!"
Both bitten arms trembling, the masked man dropped his steel knife with a clang, expressing his fear and resentment.
The leader touched the blood on his thigh, his gaze turning sinister. "These damn creatures have poisonous teeth. Finish them quickly; I don't believe these two little beasts can change our fate!"
The other masked man, uninjured, with a flash of hostility in his eyes, swung his steel knife at the two mice!
At the same time, the leader looked at the Yan family of three, sneering, "Indeed, those who come out of the Sunset Valley have some background. Even mice can be raised into this. Nie admires it. Unfortunately, when taking people's money and relieving their troubles, your family of four won't survive tonight!"
With that, he raised his knife and slashed towards father Yan, who was lying unconscious on the blood-stained floor.
Meanwhile, in the closed bedroom, Yan Yuchen lay motionless on the bed. A crippled mother mouse anxiously scratched at his hand, unable to wake him up.
In Chen Qizhen's dream, Yan Yuchen patiently explained the previously played song and the chords used for accompaniment.
The girl's face was filled with excitement, her bright eyes fixed on him, full of admiration and joy.
"She couldn't imagine that this boy, like an angel bringing her beautiful dreams, could also play the guitar and compose such a wonderful song."
In the girl's heart, these thoughts bloomed with shyness and happiness.
Yan Yuchen, sensing the urgency, swiftly withdrew from the girl's dream, leaving the dreamworld behind. Just as he was about to find Qingya, an ominous chill suddenly enveloped his entire soul.
"Could something be wrong with my body?"
A sudden unease washed over Yan Yuchen, dismissing any thought of finding Qingya. Hastily, he drifted out of the window.
The night sky, vast and unobstructed, allowed his soul to fly into the courtyard in no time. However, the ghastly scene of the living room shook him to the core, almost causing him to plummet from the air!
His father lay in a pool of blood, life hanging by a thread. His mother, disheveled and covered in wounds, protected his father with a face full of despair. Little sister, her face covered in blood, stubbornly crawled to the doorway of his room, attempting to shield him.
Three masked killers were madly cursing and chasing two golden-furred mice, both of which were equally battered and exhausted.
Yan Yuchen trembled with anger, his eyes flashing two terrifying crimson lights. He hurriedly floated into the room and reunited with his body.
In the living room, the lead masked man, after slashing one of the mice, gritted his teeth and commanded, "There are only three people here. There must be another in the room! You two, go kill him quickly. Don't let him escape. I'll handle these three!"
The two masked men, bearing cold steel knives and enduring wounds from the mice, ferociously headed toward Yan Yuchen's room.
Struggling, Yan Xiaoxi sat up from the ground, leaning against her brother's bedroom door, her face covered in blood. She looked toward her parents, smiling with a touch of sadness. "Mom, Dad... I want to die with my brother... I'm very happy... I'm his sister and willing to follow your wishes, to be his..."
"Xiaoxi..."
Mother Yan, in pain, turned away, unable to witness the tragic scene.
The lead masked man sneered, "Sunset Valley produces some interesting people. Even mice can be trained like this. Nie truly admires it. Unfortunately, when taking people's money and relieving their troubles, your family of four won't survive tonight!"
He raised his knife and swung it toward Yan's father, lying unconscious in the blood-soaked room.
Simultaneously, in Yan Yuchen's room, the closed door suddenly exploded, revealing a dazzling burst of light, like a sun tearing through the darkness.
With a bang, the lead masked man, about to strike Yan Xiaoxi, was hit in the chest, flying backward. However, midway through the air, his chest rapidly tore open, and with a thunderous roar, his body exploded into countless fragments, instantly dissolving into the terrifying burst of light.
In the living room, a deathly silence prevailed.
The two remaining masked killers stood with wide-open mouths and bulging eyes, frozen in place as if time had come to a halt.
