Lu Ning frowned and quickly ran towards the window through which the woman in red had rushed in.

Before Lu Ning even got close to the window, a strange scream came from inside.

The homeless man, who had been convulsing, suddenly had his skin peel off, let out a roar, and pounced on Lu Ning.

The homeless man with the disease was only two steps away from Lu Ning.

His movements were extremely swift; in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Lu Ning.

The mutated claws reached out to grab Lu Ning's neck.

Lu Ning remained expressionless, slightly shifting his body to easily dodge the infected person's claws.

He raised his right foot, a dense white light flashed from it, and kicked the patient hard.

boom!!

The patient's bones cracked and popped as he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the alley wall and dying instantly.

His bones were shattered by a kick, and he slid down the wall like soft flesh.

Just then, Lu Ning heard a low growl and the sound of running behind him.

Lu Ning turned around and saw two more infected people rushing towards him from behind.

One was on all fours, moving at incredible speed; the other was covered in white bone spurs.

Bang! Bang!

Two gunshots rang out, and the heads of the two infected patients exploded, causing them to fall to the ground.

Lu Ning ran a few steps, reached the window, and rushed inside.

The room was dark, and it was a rainy day.

As soon as Lu Ning entered the room, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air rang out, heading straight for Lu Ning's head.

Lu Ning turned his head slightly and saw a cold light brush against his cheek.

The beautiful woman in red moved closer, gripping a dagger tightly in both hands, each strike aimed straight for Lu Ning's vital points.

The neck, temples, heart, and other areas were all within the woman's attack range.

The woman possessed high-level combat skills, was agile, and had immense strength.

She seemed to realize the immense power of the two guns in Lu Ning's hands, and didn't give Lu Ning a chance to fire.

Lu Ning's fighting skills are also quite strong.

Even in such a confined space, facing the woman's relentless attacks, he was still able to dodge the dagger's blows.

Lu Ning tried to attack with dual pistols, but before he could even aim them at the woman in red, she would block them with her dagger or her arm. She herself was also trying to avoid being hit by the attack, constantly dodging to the side.

Because the two were too close, and the bullets from Red Rose and White Rose were extremely powerful, Lu Ning was unable to make the bullets turn at such close range.

The two sides collided in the small room, and the few pieces of furniture, such as wooden frames, were smashed to pieces.

There were marks of a dagger on the wall, as well as gunshot holes from when Lu Ning fired his gun.

Just then, Lu Ning swung his left hand, which was holding the gun, and punched the woman's head as if throwing a punch.

Just like before, the woman in red thought Lu Ning was going to shoot her, so she raised her hand and stabbed Lu Ning's wrist with a dagger.

This way, he can both block and injure Lu Ning's wrist.

However, Lu Ning did not dodge at all; a flash of white light appeared on his fist and the pistol in his hand.

When the woman in red saw that Lu Ning did not dodge and there was even a flash of white light, her expression immediately changed.

She tried to stop and dodge, but it was too late.

puff!

The dagger pierced deep into Lu Ning's wrist, but the power of the Soul-Shaking Fist also erupted.

The woman's hand holding the dagger was jolted open, and the sound of bones cracking rang out.

The woman in red was thrown backward by the immense force and crashed into the wall.

She had just regained her balance and was trying to dodge when a gunshot rang out.

The woman's right knee was ripped open, leaving a bloody crater.

She screamed, her movement of lunging to her side faltered, and she collapsed to the ground.

Lu Ning looked at the woman's beautiful face, which was filled with pain, but his expression did not change at all, and fired again.

The woman's left leg was also broken.

This prevented the woman from walking upright and from escaping.

Lu Ning then put away the pistol in his right hand and expressionlessly pulled out the dagger that was deeply embedded in his left wrist.

Just then, the woman in red seemed to have found an opportunity.

With a flick of her slender, white arm, the only dagger in her hand shot towards Lu Ning's face like lightning.

Lu Ning was pulling out his dagger and didn't even look up.

puff!

The dagger the woman shot landed squarely on Lu Ning's forehead, the blade deeply embedded in his head.

Upon seeing this, the woman's pained face broke into a delighted smile: "Hahaha! Fool! To make such a careless mistake at the last moment! You deserve to die!"

However, the woman's smile vanished the next moment.

She stared wide-eyed as Lu Ning stared at the dagger on his forehead, still slowly pulling the dagger from his wrist.

After the dagger was pulled out, the wound on Lu Ning's wrist healed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Ning casually tossed the dagger to the ground, then pulled it out of his forehead.

As the dagger was pulled out, the wound on Lu Ning's forehead also healed at an extremely fast pace, and in the blink of an eye, even the scar was no longer visible.

Lu Ning tossed the dagger aside, looked up at the red-clad woman who was standing there in a daze, and asked, "What do you mean by 'not unjustly killed'?"

The woman in red looked at him with disbelief and terror: "You... what are you!?"

Lu Ning frowned: "I am human."

He paused here, as if to emphasize, and then said, "Normal human beings."

The woman in red, her face contorted, braced herself against the wall, her hands on the ground: "What normal human being is like you?! Are you a mutated being?! Or a follower of some evil god?! How did you end up joining the Bureau of Mystery?!"
