Chapter 50: Black Organization

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Black Organization

Night Court?

’Isn’t that the name of the mysterious organization I saw on the tags of those two men in black last time?’

’As for Awakened...’

’What is that?’

Gu Qing asked curiously, "What is the Night Court, and what are the Awakened?"

Hearing this, the man with glasses and the middle-aged man were even more stunned.

’He’s not from the Night Court?’

’And he’s not an Awakened?’

’Then how is this university student’s Physical Strength so terrifying?’

The man with glasses and the middle-aged man didn’t dare stay dazed for long. They quickly snapped back to their senses and exchanged a look.

The next second, the two of them suddenly turned and ran.

One sprinted for the stairs.

The other for the balcony.

As they ran, they began to mutate, desperately boosting their Physical Strength to increase their chances of escape.

’Think they can get away by splitting up?’

’A little naive...’

Thinking this, Gu Qing casually picked up two chopsticks from the table and flicked them sharply in the direction of the two fleeing men.

Two soft THWIPS were heard.

The chopsticks mercilessly pierced their thighs, shattering their femurs.

The sudden, excruciating pain made their legs seize up. They instantly lost their balance, and with a heavy THUD, they both crashed to the ground.

Gu Qing was about to step forward and drag them back.

Suddenly—

"BANG! BANG!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the two men raised their pistols, aimed at their own heads, and fired, dying on the spot.

Gu Qing froze for a moment.

’Suicide?’

’That ruthless?’

’Could they be playing dead?’

Suspicious, Gu Qing stepped forward to check their condition.

No breathing.

No heartbeat.

It seemed they were really dead.

Gu Qing frowned.

He couldn’t understand why they would kill themselves.

And they had done it so decisively.

There was no hesitation at all.

They were like brainwashed cult followers.

The moment their mission failed, they would commit suicide on the spot without a second thought, absolutely refusing to live on in disgrace.

After taking the guns from their hands, Gu Qing walked over to the man in the tank top, who was slumped motionless against the wall.

He wanted to see if he could wake him up.

He hoped to find out from him what the Night Court and the Awakened were.

But when he got closer, he discovered the man wasn’t just unconscious—he was already completely dead.

’He died from just one kick?’

’That weak?’

’I misjudged...’

Gu Qing felt a little frustrated.

Before the fight started, the man in the tank top had called the previous mysterious Assassin a useless piece of trash.

That had led Gu Qing to mistakenly believe the man was very strong.

So when he kicked him, he had intentionally used a bit more force.

And now, look what happened.

He had killed the man with a single kick.

All three of them were dead.

There wasn’t a single person left alive to question.

’This is a problem.’

Just then, the piercing wail of sirens grew louder, approaching from downstairs.

The security department had arrived.

Listening to the sirens outside.

Looking at the three corpses lying in the room.

At that moment, Gu Qing knew he probably couldn’t hide his abilities any longer.

But it didn’t matter anymore.

’If I can’t hide it, then I can’t hide it.’

’As long as they don’t know all my trump cards, it’s fine.’

With that thought, Gu Qing looked toward the other room and called out:

"Brother Yuan, you don’t have to hide anymore. I’ve taken care of the Assassins."

Hearing the call, Zhou Yuan quickly came out of the room.

The moment he stepped out, he saw three bloody corpses on the floor. His face changed instantly, and his stomach churned violently, nearly making him vomit.

The bodies of the man with glasses and the middle-aged man were especially gruesome.

Their heads had been blown open.

Red and white matter was splattered all over the floor.

The sight was sickening, causing a visceral wave of nausea.

Taking a few deep breaths to steady his churning stomach as best he could, Zhou Yuan looked at Gu Qing with utter disbelief.

"Junior, these three men had guns, yet you managed to fight all three of them and kill them? How on earth did you do that?"

He was just an ordinary Ph.D. student and had no idea that the Extraordinary existed in the world.

In his eyes, a weapon like a gun was an invincible force.

He couldn’t wrap his head around how Gu Qing had managed to kill three armed assailants.

In response to his confusion, Gu Qing didn’t explain, simply stating coolly:

"The security department is here."

Not long after he spoke, he suddenly heard a faint squeaking sound coming from an air conditioning duct on the wall ahead.

It was the sound of a mouse.

[Mission, failed, all dead...]

[Mission, failed, all dead...]

[Mission, failed, all dead...]

Seeing the text information in front of him, Gu Qing immediately grabbed a chopstick from the table and flicked it sharply toward the source of the sound.

With a soft THWIP,

the chopstick easily pierced the duct and impaled a mouse inside.

Gu Qing stepped forward, tore open the duct, pulled out the dead mouse, and tossed it onto the floor.

It was a strange-looking little mouse.

It was only about the size of a cockroach.

Its fur was black and coarse.

Its claws were as sharp as razor blades.

It looked like it had mutated.

’What kind of criminal organization is behind these Assassins?’

’Why can they control mice?’

’What is their goal in targeting Zhou Yuan?’

’And why did they cause trouble at Hai City University a while back?’

Gu Qing’s mind was filled with questions.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

He could no longer comprehend the scene before him.

This third-year junior from another department could actually throw a chopstick like an arrow and accurately kill a mouse hiding inside an air conditioning duct?

’What is this?’

’A Martial Dao master from a wuxia film?’

’But this is the real world! Where would you find a Martial Dao master?!’

At that moment, Zhou Yuan’s understanding of the world began to crumble.

Soon, the people from the security department came up.

Many of them were familiar faces.

The one leading them was the same security captain from last time.

The only difference was that the two men in black, who had arrived later last time, were now with the security department team.

Gu Qing looked at the two men in black, his gaze falling on the [Night Court Member] tag above their heads.

’So...’

’What kind of special department is this Night Court?’

’A mysterious Extraordinary Organization?’

While Gu Qing was pondering, the security captain approached him to ask some questions, his face filled with disbelief.

"Student Gu, don’t tell me you killed all three of these men on the floor..."

"I killed the one in the tank top. The other two saw escape was hopeless and shot themselves."

Gu Qing admitted it openly, with no intention of hiding anything.

Hearing this, the faces of all the Security Officers at the scene were filled with shock.

Although these Security Officers were ordinary people and didn’t usually have contact with the Extraordinary, they were more or less aware of some undisclosed inside information.

They knew that these three men on the floor had possessed a special power within their bodies when they were alive.

They could mutate, strengthen their muscles, and gain power far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Yet, these three beings, who were so much stronger than ordinary people, were now corpses, having died either directly or indirectly at the hands of this university student.

It was... simply unbelievable!

"You, come with me for a moment."

One of the men in black said, beckoning to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was very cooperative, following the man outside the apartment.

As soon as they were outside, the man in black stared intently into Gu Qing’s eyes, his gaze scrutinizing. "Are you an Awakened?"

Gu Qing answered truthfully, "I don’t know what an Awakened is."

"You don’t know what an Awakened is?"

The man in black raised an eyebrow. After a few seconds of thought, he offered a guess, "Then you probably aren’t an Awakened. Most likely, you’re just an ordinary person who came into contact with something Extraordinary and was lucky enough to gain Extraordinary Power from it."
