Warlord

With just a simple sentence, he had revealed his secret to Lan Qi. People who risked their lives all year round would always have a peculiar aura on them. Ordinary people would not be able to detect this kind of aura, but they could forget about someone who had the same experience as Zero. Lan Qi had long since gotten used to this kind of atmosphere and neglected such a crucial factor.

In fact, if it weren’t for such a tiny flaw, Lan Qi would have almost succeeded.

Although Lingyi had already guessed that the killer from Parkland wouldn’t let this go so easily, other than a few days when he was unconscious, the following days were calm and peaceful. Even though his vigilance was zero, he still believed that the killer had given up on continuing to attack in Phoenix City. Until yesterday, when Dr. David, who had come to give a zero return visit, had a slight abnormal aura on his body.

This Qi was not easy to detect, but in order to examine the body for Zero, the two had to come in close contact before Zero could detect it. From this, he learned that Parkland’s killer had not given up. And from the proximity of Dr. Davy, he was doing it at both ends.

If it was just a normal smell, Lan Qi could have covered it up with all sorts of powders and medicines. However, the death aura on his body could not be concealed by tools, unless he was a high-level esper in the Domain of Perception. This could be done by creating a barrier on the surface of his body that cut off all perception. It was a pity that Lan Qi wasn’t an expert in sensing the domain, which was why he failed.

The White-headed Eagle was quick to make a decision. As soon as it hit the wall, its body trembled and several scalpels hidden in the doctor’s uniform shot out. In order to not attract any attention from Phoenix City, Lan Qi didn’t bring any guns with him when he entered or left the hospital. Otherwise, the bullets that would have killed him would not have come from a few scalpels.

Naturally, the scalpel was not zeroed. He just leaned back and the scalpel missed its target. However, when he pulled his body back, the White-headed Monarch was long gone. Shouts and curses came from outside the ward, followed by a sheriff rushing in with three soldiers. The fight in the ward had naturally alarmed them, but the killer had already left. After a simple inquiry, the sheriff brought his men with him.

Zero knew that Parkland’s killer would never be able to stay in the city. In other words, he would be able to rest in peace for the next few days.

His body was almost fully recovered. The most serious wound on his chest had also healed. Even his broken sternum had regrown. However, the short and intense exchange of blows had caused his chest to split open again. This meant that Zero would still have to stay in the hospital for a day or two.
