It was already past six in the afternoon when Jia Shuangshuang woke up. The setting sun poured orange into the room, contrasting with the orange fur of the dog.
"Take these. Don't come downstairs for the time being. Call me if you need anything." Chen Zhong handed Jia Shuangshuang a large cloth bag filled with mineral water and compressed biscuits. "Also, if anyone knocks on the door, don't open it unless I am the one doing it!"
Then, Chen Zhong set up a first-grade spiritual formation on the opposite door, named "Thunder". As the name suggests, when someone breaks in by force, it will erupt with a deafening roar. It is not aggressive, just for fun. The purpose is to deter the criminals and wake up the entire community at the same time.
The empire usually turns a blind eye to the grievances between spiritual warriors, but if they involve ordinary society on a large scale, they will have to bear the wrath of the imperial army. Therefore, it is rare to see spiritual warriors sacrificing their lives on the streets.
They wouldn't even dare to mess around with a small inscribed instrument!
"Well, thank you." Jia Shuangshuang took it and forced a smile.
"Don't sleep too deeply at night, stay alert, and remember the precautions I told you several times when you go back." Chen Zhong reminded again and again.
"Well, I'll keep watch tonight." Jia Shuangshuang glanced back at her parents trapped in the ice formation in the living room. Her eyes blurred instantly, and she asked tremblingly but resolutely, "Do I really have a chance to avenge them?"
Chen Zhong rubbed the back of his head. "According to Zhang Ming's character, he won't let you, a fish that slipped through the net, go unpunished, and he certainly won't ignore me, a petty citizen who's meddling in other people's business. Since he wants to wipe out the roots, I have no choice but to fight him. After all, we're tied together now."
The door was closed, and Chen Zhong was still standing at the door. It was quiet inside. One could imagine a girl sitting silently in front of two cold corpses.
"Oh, can't I just live an ordinary life until school starts?" Chen Zhong sighed, the strings in his heart still tense.
He was unwilling to sit and wait for death. Hiding in the house without making any preparations would not produce any results unless Zhang Ming died suddenly.
Being cautious and prudent does not mean being timid or cold-hearted. It is just a style of doing things. He will think about it ten times if others think about it once, and he will pay close attention to the details that others ignore.
Moreover, Chen Zhong has always been a cautious and action-oriented person!
Just do it!
Chen Zhong took out a box of pinhole cameras from the storage room in his home and installed ten of them at the entrance outside the building, which could cover all entrances and exits and blind spots. Four of them were also blocked by covers on the ceiling and ground at the stairwell on the first floor.
Then two were stuck on the front wall of each floor, all the way up to the rooftop on the eighth floor, still having to be on guard against enemies falling from the sky.
A total of thirty micro cameras were activated, occupying the entire screen of the smart TV, so that any disturbance at home could be detected at the first time.
"This isn't enough. It's too passive." Chen Zhong looked at the gradually darkening sky outside and thought to himself, "Ten hours have passed since the assassination attempt. Zhang Ming must have become suspicious since he hasn't received a response from his men. Perhaps he's sending new assassins to investigate."
"Right now, they don't know the situation clearly, nor do they know I'm involved in this incident. I'm safe for now, but as time goes on, they'll definitely start to suspect me as their only neighbor."
"There's a 50% chance someone will come tonight. We must be mentally prepared for them to come out in full force!"
At night, there were rustling sounds throughout the building for several hours, and a person was furtively drawing something on the wall.
In the dead of night, a loud "wow" echoed throughout the community.
"I'll let you play the role of a punching bag! I'm going to make you a punching bag tonight!"
Snap——
"Wow! I didn't! Wow!"
"Still quibbling! Your mother-in-law saw it with her own eyes!"
Snap——
"I didn't, I didn't! Wow!"
Chen Zhong, "..."
I don’t know, understand, or understand anything.
The stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork lasted for half an hour before the world returned to peace.
Click.
A faint sound came from the TV.
Chen Zhong stood up and stared at the surveillance footage on TV.
On the first floor, two dark shadows walked in and headed upstairs quickly and efficiently!
He has a nimble figure and moves like a tiger or wolf. He is obviously a spiritual warrior!
"As expected."
Chen Zhong quickly opened the door and hid at the corner of the stairs on the upper floor, holding his breath and gathering his strength.
Soon, the two arrived, still talking in low voices.
"Is this the floor?" someone asked.
"Yes, this is the one." The other person looked at his phone and answered.
"Could it be that Jia Zhengqi dealt with the five of them?"
"Jia Zhengqi is only at the second level of the Spiritual Body Realm. Does he have this ability?"
"So what's going on?"
"Just open the door and you'll find out!"
The two men were about to break the door lock when one of them seemed to notice something unusual.
"Do you feel the fluctuation of spiritual power?"
"No? You're being too suspicious!"
Buzz——
A faint white light flashed, covering the area of an entire floor.
The soundproof array is activated!
At the same time, a masked man with a black cloth on his head and goggles on his face jumped down at a speed as if he had teleported. He threw out a handful of mixed powder of pepper and chili powder in his hand, and pierced a man's throat with a spiritual engraving pen. The fierce spiritual power showed a devastating trend and shattered his entire cervical vertebrae.
The man who was killed in seconds was only at the first level of the Spiritual Body Realm, and was no match for Chen Zhong who was at the Nth level of the Spiritual Body Realm.
The other person was only at the second level of the Spirit Body Realm. It was obvious that these two were testing the waters, and there were probably people waiting for news from behind.
"Meet..." The other person uttered a word before the earphone on his collar was slapped away by Chen Zhong.
