Monster Paradise - Chapter 397

Chapter 397

He escaped?!

Lin Huang looked at the place where the black-robed person disappeared while replaying the scene of him performing the hand seals . It was probably a unique escape skill .

"Lin Xin!"

His crimson red eyes faded away as he contacted Tyrant with his mind . He was relieved as Lin Xin had not encountered the attack that he did .

"Let's go back to the place where the person first attacked me . " Lin Huang patted the Viridescent Thunderhawk's back .

The Viridescent Thunderhawk flapped its wings and turned in an arc as it headed to the library . As soon as it landed, a shadow interrupted them . Lin Huang looked closely . It was the dean, Liu Ming .

"Brother, were you the one fighting just now?" Liu Ming immediately asked when he saw Lin Huang .

"A black-robed person attacked me but ran away . " Lin Huang hopped from the Viridescent Thunderhawk's back and nodded to Liu Ming . The battle had seemed intense, but it only lasted less than 20 seconds .

"Is this a holy fire-level summon?" Liu Ming was shocked to see the Viridescent Thunderhawk .

"Yes . " Lin Huang then recalled the Viridescent Thunderhawk .

"Are you alright?" Liu Ming asked immediately . As a huge fan of Mr . Fu fan, he was protective of Lin Huang .

"I'm alright . "

Soon, several shadows arrived . They were Transcendents who were nearby . They came here as soon as they heard the gunshots and sensed the energy wave . Liu Ming approached them and explained while Lin Huang looked for the weapon that the black-robed person had used to attack him . He could sense that it was something tiny, but he had no idea what that was .

A while later, he found a hole the size of a thumb in a field nearby . There was residue that was similar to the black mist on the attacker's body . Lin Huang coated his right hand with Life Power and reached into the hole . He found a needle that was two centimeters long with the thickness of a strand of hair . It was completely black with black Life Power remaining on its surface . Although the black Life Power was insignificant, Lin Huang could sense that the Life Power on his finger was being destroyed by a unique force . However, as it was decomposing his Life Power, the black Life Power was intensifying . Before Lin Huang could store it, the black Life Power surrounding the needle disappeared within one or two seconds .

"Is this the weapon that the person used to attack you?" Liu Ming appeared next to Lin Huang and looked the black needle in his hand .

"Looking at the size and color as well as the ability to hide its appearance, this could definitely kill anyone without even making a sound . Such an evil weapon looks like it belongs to a professional assassin . Brother, did you offend anyone recently?"

"I've offended quite some people…"

"Do you have any clue about anyone who might want to do such a thing?" Liu Ming asked .

"I have a few suspects, but I can't be sure . " Lin Huang shook his head .

"Do you need my help?" Liu Ming asked in all seriousness .

"Not at the moment . I think I can solve it myself . If I can't, I'll have to trouble you . " Lin Huang would usually handle things by himself instead of asking for help . He knew that he would have to repay people in some way if he asked for help .

"Alright then, be careful . Usually, a professional assassin won't give up on their target so easily . Find out the person responsible for this as soon as possible . The longer you drag this matter, the more dangerous it'll be for you . After all, they're in the dark while you're in the light," Liu Ming reminded .

"Yes, I understand . " Lin Huang nodded .

"I'll get someone to fix this tomorrow . Don't worry about it and get going," Liu Ming said as he looked at the lamp posts that were broken .

After Liu Ming left, Lin Huang looked around nearby and headed back to the dorm as he did not find anything .

"Brother, were you fighting just now? I heard gunshots," Lin Xin asked in concern when she saw Lin Huang came back . She had heard the gunshots soon after Lin Huang left the dorm, so she thought he might be fighting .

It was summer holiday and no outsiders were allowed at night in the college . Besides her and Lin Huang, there was basically nobody else in the college . The gunshots clearly came from the college . Moreover, Lin Huang was a firearms master himself, so it was easy to tell that it was him who was fighting .

Lin Huang did not want to tell Lin Xin about the attack but since she asked, he admitted it anyway, "Someone tried to kill me but got away . "

"Was it Zhang Mengmeng?" Lin Xin thought of her as well .

"I'm not sure, but she's the biggest suspect . " Lin Huang shook his head .

"Although the person was on the holy fire-level, I'm not excluding Zhang Mengmeng as one of the suspects as she might be hiding her true combat prowess and disguise herself as a silver-level hunter . Besides, I don't know many people in the White Capital . Zhang Mengmeng is the only one that I don't know from before and she knows that I'm in the White Capital .

"But, there are other possibilities as well . After all, I have offended many underworld organizations . " Lin Huang knew the trouble that he caused himself . He had offended all the underworld organizations that he's encountered, so it was nothing out of the ordinary that he was being targeted .

"I think it has to be that Zhang Mengmeng! How can it be such a coincidence that we met her today and that you got attacked right away? She must be coming for you, that's why she's dating Brother Fatty . Maybe she's one of the Purple Crows!" Lin Xin was determined to solve the identity of the attacker .

"You naughty girl, you need proof . Don't just say whatever you want . " Lin Huang patted Lin Xin's head .

"There's no need for proof . A girl has accurate instincts . It has to be Zhang Mengmeng!" Lin Xin was persistent .

"Yes, whatever you say is right . Don't worry . I'll handle it . " Lin Huang assured helplessly .

He returned to his room after finally managing to comfort Lin Xin . He stared at Zhang Mengmeng's photos that Fatty had sent earlier and mumbled to himself, "I can definitely know if it's her if I have her real face or her real name…"

Suddenly, Yang Ling's face appeared in his mind .

"I wonder if Yang Ling could retrieve her real face…"

Lin Huang then sent the photos to Yang Ling with a simple explanation . Yang Ling replied almost in the next second after receiving the photos .

"Now I know your type . This girl looks doesn't look that bad, but she's too young for me…"

Two to three minutes later, Yang Ling called . Lin Huang picked up the video call immediately .

"Who told you that the girl had plastic surgery?" Yang Ling asked directly .

"Didn't she? Her identity is fake . I'm sure you can look for her . Her face doesn't match the population registration at the Union Government . "

"There really is a problem with her identity . She must be an illegal resident who has never registered herself since birth and her Emperor's Heart ring must be fake . But I'm 100% sure that she has never done plastic surgery before!" Yang Ling insisted .

"What are you basing your comments that she's never done plastic surgery before on?" Lin Huang was puzzled .

"It's not based on anything . I can tell from her photos . She's not the only one, I can also tell how any woman in the world really looks like . Whether they've make-up on, if they went for plastic surgery, or if they used a beauty app to beautify their faces . I can even see the smallest freckle on their faces . My eyes can see through those layers . When I say this girl has never went for plastic surgery, it means she hasn't . It's up to you to believe me or not," Yang Ling insisted .

"Then, could you find her real identity for me?" Lin Huang cast his doubts aside and asked Yang Ling .

"I can't . She's an illegal resident who has never registered on any platforms on the Heart Network . All I know is that her name is fake . There's nothing else that I can get . " Yang Ling opened his arms in surrender .

"Alright then, I understand now . "

Hanging up the phone, Lin Huang thought the matter was even more puzzling now .

"Zhang Mengmeng has never undergone plastic surgery, and she's an illegal resident…"
