Chapter 24: Dark Night Assassination
The night was as dark as ink, and the wind was biting cold. Tang Yue climbed up from the kang (kang) quietly, carefully avoiding her sleeping family. Her movements were gentle and cautious, each step a dance with the night, without making a sound.
Her heart beat steadily in her chest, and she knew that tonight's actions would determine the fate of their family.
Tang Yue hid a sharp dagger at her waist. She didn't choose a gun because she knew that tonight's battle required silence, not fire and noise.
Her eyes swept around the room, finally landing on her father's face, which was filled with traces of time and worries about the future, but more importantly, it was filled with deep love for his family.
Tang Yue whispered softly: "Dad, wait for me to come back, everything will be fine."
Her figure was like a ghost in the night wind, silently crossing the yard and coming to the backyard wall. The wall was not high, but it was also a big obstacle for a little girl who was almost four years old.
But Tang Yue was not an ordinary little girl. She took a deep breath, gathered her spiritual energy, lightly tapped her toes, and jumped up lightly, like a nimble cat, easily climbing over the wall.
Her consciousness extended again, and she slowly searched the back mountain. After a while, she had a clear understanding of the entire situation in the back mountain.
She could clearly sense the spies' positions, their auras, even their heartbeats. Tang Yue knew that her consciousness had become one with the forest. She could use the night, the trees, the wind to become the master of the forest.
At the moment she didn't have time to think about how she did it, but it really helped her a lot.
She moved silently through the forest, each step on the softest fallen leaves, each breath in sync with the surrounding environment. Her eyes gleamed in the night, like a nocturnal animal in the forest, searching for its prey.
Finally, she arrived in front of the big tree. The dark figure on the tree seemed to have noticed her approach, but he did not move, and his hand only gently touched his waist, as if he was waiting for something.
Tang Yue curled her lips into a sneer. Now that she was here, she had taken the initiative.
Her figure loomed in the shadows of the trees, like a ghost, slowly approaching the dark figure on the tree. Her breathing became almost imperceptible, her body blending perfectly with the surrounding environment. The moment her hand touched the tree trunk, she could feel the shadow's heartbeat quickening.
"Who are you?" The shadow's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of uneasiness.
Tang Yue had never heard such an accent before. It seemed that this spy was quite formidable. He had even learned Chinese. But the accent was too strong.
Tang Yue didn't answer. Her figure suddenly disappeared from the shadows of the trees, and the next moment, she appeared behind the black figure. Her dagger gleamed coldly in the moonlight, pointing directly at the black figure's throat.
"I'm Tang Yue." Her lips curled up at one corner, her voice cold and firm, without a trace of warmth. Of course, this was Tang Yue's opinion; to the spy, it sounded like a soft, childish voice, a little girl's.
However, he didn't think the little girl was an ordinary child.
Feeling the dagger at his throat, the spy's body stiffened instantly, knowing he was at a disadvantage. But he wasn't afraid. How powerful could a little girl be? His hand quietly reached for the gun at his waist.
"Don't move." Tang Yue's voice sounded like a whisper from hell. Her dagger moved slightly, and a blood mark appeared on the black shadow's throat.
"What are you doing here?" Tang Yue's voice was still cold. She wanted to know from this spy about the operation, especially how many other people were involved.
This lone spy is her only chance. If this one doesn't work, then the last one among the 23 people can only be hers.
The black shadow did not answer. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. His hand moved suddenly and the gun was in his hand.
But Tang Yue was quicker. With a twitch of her dagger, a deep wound appeared on the black shadow's wrist. The gun fell to the ground, and the black shadow's face turned pale.
"I'll ask again, why are you here?" There was a hint of threat in Tang Yue's voice.
The shadow gritted his teeth, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes. He knew that without his gun, he would not be able to leave here alive tonight, but he could not let their plan fail.
"We're here for..." The shadowy figure hadn't finished his words when his hand reached out, a three-pointed blade gleaming with a cold light between his fingers. Before the smug look in his eyes could even register, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a large, bloody hole in his chest.
A flicker of regret flashed across Tang Yue's eyes. She should have just knocked the hidden weapon out of his hand. But the people here weren't particularly vulnerable to attack, and in such a critical moment, she didn't think too much about it.
But it's better this way, she can't let these spies threaten her family.
She pushed the shadow's body down from the tree and disappeared silently into the night. She knew she still had 23 enemies to deal with.
Her consciousness extended again, and she could feel the location of those spies, their breath, their heartbeats. There was no fear in her heart, only determination and resolve.
Her figure shuttled through the night like a ghost, looking for her prey.
In the darkness of the night, a silent killing quietly unfolds...
Tang Yue didn't follow the spy's route. She slowly circled around from the west hill. She knew the remaining 23 people hadn't made a move yet, but with all 23 of them together, it would be difficult for Tang Yue to make a move.
After all, the guns in their hands were so powerful that she didn't have the confidence to dodge more than 20 gunshots at once.
She chose a secluded position, one that would allow her to monitor the agents simultaneously without being easily detected. She crouched in the shadow of a large tree, her eyes gleaming sharply in the darkness.
She waited, waiting for the perfect moment, waiting for the agents to disperse so that she could take them out one by one.
Time passed minute by minute, and Tang Yue's patience blended into the night like her shadow. But the spies remained motionless.
Tang Yue was a little anxious at this time. Even if these spies did not go down the mountain at once, she would be unable to handle them all by herself. In a word, her ability was not enough.
How can I kill them one by one?
As Tang Yue pondered, her gaze fell on the rocky beach in front of her. Stones? Stones?
Tang Yue's eyes lit up. Yes, a formation. How could she have forgotten this? Although she wasn't very skilled in her previous life, she still knew how to use a simple stone trap formation. While it wasn't very powerful, it shouldn't be a problem for dealing with these people.
But looking at the people gathered together, Tang Yue was still a little troubled. At the moment, she had no way to get to them quietly. How should she arrange this stone formation?
Tang Yue's vision and consciousness scanned the surroundings, and suddenly Tang Yue thought of a possibility.
These people shouldn't come down the mountain from the same direction at the same time. If it were her, she wouldn't let everyone attack from the same direction.
Then, a slight curve appeared at the corner of Tang Yue's lips. Tang Yue moved, using the rocky beach as the center and following the eight trigrams, she set up eight stone traps around the rocky beach.
This way, no matter which direction these people wanted to go down the mountain, they would definitely walk into Tang Yue's formation. Tang Yue had just set up the eighth formation when the spies began to move.
They were divided into 6 groups and moved towards the village from different directions. Tang Yue's heartbeat quickened slightly, and she knew that her action had begun.
The agents walked forward silently. Just after 50 meters, countless stones of various sizes suddenly appeared around them. The agents were terrified and quickened their pace. Just as they took a step forward, huge stones from above their heads came crashing down on their heads.
The spies did not dare to be careless and quickly dodged, then took out their pistols and pulled the trigger in the direction where the stone was thrown.
The continuous "bang bang bang" gunshots on the North Mountain woke up several surrounding villages.
Tang Yue has entered the formation closest to her. The stone formation was the first formation she learned in her previous life. It took her more than half a year to master it, and she is very familiar with the stone formation.
She approached the first agent silently, her breathing almost blending with the surrounding air. Her movements were as fast as lightning, and the dagger in her hand flashed a cold light in the moonlight, followed by a muffled sound. The agent fell to the ground without even a scream.
Tang Yue didn't pause, swiftly moving to her next target. Her movements became more skillful, her heart calmer. Each strike was precise and deadly. She knew she couldn't hesitate for even a moment, as any hesitation could mean her family was in danger.
When the last spy fell, the eastern sky was already turning pale. Tang Yue stood on the top of the mountain, looking at her home. The coldness in her eyes faded, revealing the slightest smile.
She wanted to give the last spy a chance to live, but he couldn't speak Chinese. She couldn't send him to the county. How could she explain how she had captured him? So, he had to die.
She took a deep breath and then moved slowly. Although her steps were heavy, her heart was full of strength.
She squatted down and just reached out to move a stone, then she heard footsteps a few hundred meters away.
