“No need to be so nervous. My parents are very nice people!”
“Hehe.”
When Ji Wenyan heard the system’s warning sound, he stopped mid-sentence. Coming back to his senses, he saw Bai Mengze looking at him with confusion and quickly added the rest.
She gave a slight smile and turned back to continue chatting with her parents.
Ji Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately called out to the system, wanting to know what was going on.
How had it come to the point of mentioning gunshots? Was the would-be murderer really willing to go this far?
[System, what did you mean by that just now?]
[System: The assassin targeting the host is still preparing and shows no intention of abandoning the attempt. According to system calculations, the probability of them firing is 99.9%.]
[Just say they’ll definitely shoot, no need for all that nonsense.]
[System: May I ask how the host intends to respond? If you are hit in front of your nurturer, although you won’t die, covering it up will require considerable effort.]
After confirming with the system that the person was indeed the assassin sent to kill him, Ji Wenyan found himself in a difficult spot.
Now, he was in the open while the enemy remained hidden. It was too hard to flush them out.
Was he really going to take a bullet in front of Bai Mengze?
Exposing his immortality would cause too many problems, and Ji Wenyan had no intention of taking that risk.
He planned to keep it as a trump card, revealed only when absolutely necessary.
[Can I use the Paralyze Ring to knock them out?]
[System: Since the target cannot be identified, the Paralyze Ring cannot lock onto the person hiding in the shadows. Thus, its use is unavailable.]
[Right now, the Paralyze Ring is my only means of attack. Otherwise, you expect me to fight them with math and makeup skills?]
[System: …]
Hearing that the Paralyze Ring was ineffective for offense, Ji Wenyan resigned himself to fate, admitting to the system that he had no other attack methods.
Those nails on the road earlier were probably part of their scheme to delay rescue vehicles.
So now it was just him and Bai Mengze, isolated and without support.
As for the hidden assassins, they hadn’t attacked directly, which showed they were very cautious.
This was serious.
[System: After careful consideration, the system can provide two divine-level skills, ‘Danger Prediction’ and ‘Extreme Dodge,’ for a trial period of three hours! When the skills are active, they allow the host to sense danger in advance and achieve a 100% success rate in evasion.]
[How many star points?]
[System: 200 star points.]
[Deal!]
When the system spoke again, Ji Wenyan didn’t hesitate and directly chose to exchange.
200 star points for two divine-level skills, even if only for three hours—the system had really gone all out!
This time, he was going to drag out those hiding bastards and see who the hell they were.
[System: The two divine-level skills have been issued. However, because the management fee for controlling passive skills has not yet expired, the divine-level skills cannot activate on their own… Would you like to release control now?]
[Release.]
[System: Control released!]
What Ji Wenyan hadn’t expected was that the monthly 1000-star-point management fee wasn’t just for one skill, but for all divine-level skills.
Well, the system was essentially telling him to acquire more divine-level skills to make that 1000-star-point fee worthwhile.
But thinking that the headache-inducing ‘Focused Concentration’ skill was also released from control, he grew gloomy… if he suddenly fell into a state of intense focus, could his body still dodge?
[System: Detecting the host’s concern, the divine-level skill ‘Focused Concentration’ has been temporarily suppressed.]
Fortunately, the system quickly resolved his worry.
With no more concerns, he set aside his thoughts and patiently stayed with Bai Mengze.
Having the two temporary divine-level skills for three hours gave him plenty of time, so he wasn’t anxious.
Since the other side wasn’t in a hurry, neither was he.
He could just keep dragging it out.
Ji Wenyan stood there calmly, as if his composed attitude might intimidate the hidden assassins. They didn’t act immediately, continuing to lie in ambush.
Waiting for a chance to strike with a single fatal blow.
“Ji Wenyan, sorry for keeping you waiting so long. Let’s go!”
“It’s fine. Are you done talking with your parents?”
“Yeah. We came last week, and I thought it wouldn’t take long this time… but it ended up being even longer.”
About half an hour passed without any incident. Bai Mengze finished her conversation, and they prepared to leave.
However, thanks to the system’s warning, Ji Wenyan knew that leaving would be a challenge.
“Bai Mengze, something might happen soon. Don’t overthink it—just stay close to me.”
“What’s going to happen?”
“Nothing much, but I have a feeling danger is coming.”
“Don’t scare me!”
As they walked back the way they came, Ji Wenyan whispered in Bai Mengze’s ear. When her face showed surprise, he didn’t elaborate.
If he said he could dodge bullets with his speed and reflexes, she would probably think he had paranoid delusions.
Letting out a resigned sigh, he said nothing more, put his arm around her slender waist, and started running faster.
Since the assassins wouldn’t act, he would force their hand.
If they didn’t move now, he was getting away!
Sure enough, as soon as Ji Wenyan broke into a run, the hidden assassins stopped hesitating and quickly fired at him and Bai Mengze.
The silenced guns made little noise when the bullets were fired.
Just as the assassins thought their target was about to die, a horrifying sight unfolded before their eyes.
Ji Wenyan seemed to know exactly where the bullets would land. With each step, he evaded the shots aimed at his vitals, sending them clattering against brick tombstones with sharp sounds.
This guy wasn’t human!
How could he dodge bullets?
In movies and TV shows, protagonists might dodge bullets, but that was fiction, not reality.
Yet Ji Wenyan had shattered that barrier, clearly demonstrating an unbelievable ability right before the eyes of multiple assassins!
