Mei had experienced this scene countless times. A quick victory was the best policy. With lightning speed, she shook off the man and pushed him into the crowd.
Before the four bodyguards could react, Mei had already put on gloves. These specially made gloves were designed to penetrate the electric grid and retrieve what she wanted directly. As the number one assassin, she was not just a figurehead; she was also a person with superpowers.
Mei unleashed her supernatural power—a high-frequency, high-speed electronic cutting blade. As a lightning-based user, this was a unique skill she had developed. In an instant, she sliced the glass in half, cutting it into a circle—a hole large enough for her to reach inside and retrieve her bracelet.
Mei took out the bracelet from inside. She used her speed to the extreme, and her lightning-fast figure instantly transformed into many clones. In an instant, she ran to the window outside the banquet hall. She leaned over to listen to the sounds inside. It was chaos inside. It seemed that she had succeeded today. She came and went without a trace, and these people would never be able to catch her.
The people at the banquet finally realized what was happening and rushed to give chase. The entire banquet was thrown into chaos, with security searching everywhere and all exits sealed off. Mei, perched on the upper floor outside the window, used a lasso hook to pull herself up to the wall, then leaped off the outer edge of the floor and disappeared into the night. Now they're sealing off the entire banquet? Too late.
These people are truly pathetic.
In all her years of operation, she had never failed. She returned home, staring intently at the bracelet, lost in thought. The bracelet also bore the character "Qi," her real name being Xuanyuan Qinu.
She had learned about this bracelet. It was quite special; the bracelet itself was shaped like a snake, depicted with remarkable realism. She had seen photos of it, and it was said that this bracelet could help women maintain their youth forever. She was somewhat skeptical, as it looked rather sinister. The bracelet was transparent, and the inner side of the bracelet, close to the skin, was flat, making it very suitable for wearing close to the skin.
This bracelet automatically wraps around a person's body, but its peculiarity lies in the fact that it only wraps around a woman's hand. On a man's hand, it hardens and becomes unyielding; no one can change its shape. This bracelet is somewhat malevolent; it can suck a person's blood.
Once a woman wears this bracelet, it will pierce a blood vessel in her wrist, causing the bracelet to change from transparent and filled with blood to completely red.
This bracelet, like her, carries an evil aura.
When she was five years old, she was given the name Xuanyuan Qinu. Her family had a special tradition: daughters born must have the character "Qi" in their names. If a daughter was born without the character "Qi," she would be cursed.
This woman did not live to be three years old.
If a girl were born with the character "Qi," she would live to a ripe old age and die naturally. This family did not trust ancestral secret rituals. There was a girl in the family whose name did not contain the character "Qi." This girl died at the age of one; she died shortly after being given that name.
The family records show that the names of all the women who lived to be seventy or eighty years old on the family tombstones contain the character "Qi," as if the family were cursed.
Having lived in a dark and terrifying shadow since childhood, she longed for a peaceful life.
She stared at the bracelet, her gaze gradually becoming infatuated. The snake head on the serpent bracelet stared at her, as if bewitching her, "Take me with you, take me with you, I am the most important thing to you."
Her gaze was unfocused, and her hands began to move uncontrollably. According to professional ethics, she should not touch personal belongings. Holding the bracelet in the locked glass case, she prepared to unlock it. She had lost consciousness, and her eyes were no longer bright and were dull. She had been manipulated.
This lock is somewhat complicated for ordinary people, but it's very simple for her; she can open it.
Born into the Xuanyuan family, she had learned some mechanical skills from a young age, and after fiddling with it for a long time, she finally managed to open the lock.
She put on the bracelet, and the moment she placed it on her wrist, it seemed as if a real snake was coiled around her wrist.
She seemed to see the snake on the bracelet open its eyes and mouth, and before she could stop it, the snake bit through her wrist and sucked her blood.
She suddenly snapped out of her daze. What was she doing? When did she put this serpent-shaped bracelet on her wrist? She heard a voice, "Master, I've finally waited for you. We've made a pact once again." She looked at the bracelet, shook her head, and thought she was hallucinating. How could a bracelet talk?
Ignoring the minor pain, the sound of a door opening caught her attention. She immediately became cautious; she had long suspected it wouldn't be that simple. It seemed the person who had been plotting against her was about to appear. She had always been the one being schemed against. On this final mission, she wanted to see who had been setting traps for her all these years.
This is also why she wanted to do this mission. She knew that someone would be lying in ambush at her house, and the person plotting against her must be someone she knew.
A woman who looked very much like her and was equally alluring walked in, swaying her body.
It was actually her younger sister, Xuan Yuan Qi Qi. She stared at her with wide eyes. She had never imagined it was her, someone she had never suspected. Her world collapsed in an instant.
"Oh my, my dear sister, you've already unlocked the bracelet in such a short time? And you're wearing it on your wrist. That mechanism is no simple thing."
Looking at her sister's smiling face, she questioned her, "What are you doing here, Xuanyuan Qiqi?"
