Chapter 107: Citywide Manhunt

Lü Yang didn’t have the mind to think about these problems right now. Standing in the thunderstorm, he slowly closed his eyes. Just as he expected, the Eerie Computer prompted an unknown connection request. After connecting, a human-shaped shadow appeared again in his field of vision.

“Get to the alley opposite the back gate of Central Park within fifteen minutes, otherwise the first task will be declared a failure!” After saying this, Death Killer cut off the connection with Lü Yang’s Eerie Computer, giving Lü Yang no chance to ask questions.

Lü Yang wiped the rain from his face and quickly ran to the street side. From where he was to Central Park, if he hailed a taxi, it would take at least fifteen minutes. Because Death Killer specifically emphasized that arriving late would mean failing the first task, Lü Yang knew he had to hurry. Otherwise, the first switch would be pushed in the water pit where Yi Ya was.

After the heavy rain started, many people were hailing taxis on the street. Two cars in a row near Lü Yang were taken by others, which made Lü Yang feel a bit frustrated. Just then, an electric motorcycle stopped on the street a few meters away from Lü Yang. The owner had just gotten off when Lü Yang dashed over, quickly snatched the electric motorcycle, started it, and sped off into the heavy rain.

The owner shouted and chased after him for a few steps, grabbing the motorcycle to prevent Lü Yang from accelerating. Unexpectedly, Lü Yang pointed a black gun barrel at him.

“Let go! Or I’ll kill you!” Lü Yang threatened the owner.

For ordinary citizens, guns are not something commonly seen, so they often don’t have the instinctive fear of guns that people from other countries do. When the owner saw Lü Yang pointing a handgun at him, instead of letting go, he rushed over and tightly grabbed Lü Yang’s arm, shouting for help loudly.

“Sorry!”

Lü Yang had no choice but to throw a hard punch at the owner’s face. The owner immediately let go and fell headfirst onto the rain-soaked ground. Lü Yang quickly started the bike and disappeared into the rainy street.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. Having experienced two extremely dangerous Mysterious Domains and being forced by Death Killer using Yi Ya as leverage, even if he was once a very kind rabbit, Lü Yang now had to unleash his fierce primal wolf nature.

Speeding through the heavy rain, Lü Yang barely made it to the area near the back gate of Central Park in fourteen minutes. He checked the time, discarded the stolen electric motorcycle by the street, and hurriedly ran toward the alley opposite the back gate of Central Park.

The other party clearly had everything planned in advance, including the timing, leaving Lü Yang no extra time to think.

Faint police sirens could be heard in the distance, as if something urgent had happened, but Lü Yang had no mind to think about that now. Just as he stood still in the alley opposite the back gate of Central Park, Death Killer connected again…

“You did well! In about ten seconds, a black SUV will stop in front of you. The driver will get out after opening the door. Steal that car and get to the river-crossing tunnel entrance within twenty minutes. Once you’re there, I’ll give you new instructions. If you don’t make it to the river-crossing tunnel entrance within twenty minutes, the first task will be declared a failure. You know what that means.”

“Is this the first task?” Lü Yang quickly asked the human-shaped shadow.

“Hurry up. I’ll clearly notify you when it’s time to announce the first task.”

“Where are you? Let’s meet and talk.” Lü Yang seized the opportunity and immediately proposed it to the other party.

“This… you’re not qualified enough yet…”

“Damn!”

Lü Yang swore loudly. Just then, a black SUV sped over, splashing dirty water everywhere. Its tires screeched as it braked sharply beside Lü Yang. After the door on Lü Yang’s side opened, the driver in a raincoat jumped out from the other door and quickly ran into a side alley, disappearing from sight.

Lü Yang frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, but gave up on chasing and questioning the driver. Time was too tight for him to think too much. After getting into the car, Lü Yang quickly started it, drove out of the alley, and onto the street outside the back gate of Central Park.

As soon as Lü Yang’s SUV emerged from the alley, police sirens blared all around, and… they all seemed to be targeting him…

Lü Yang couldn’t help but freeze for a moment. He instantly understood something, but he didn’t dare to stop at all. He slammed on the accelerator, merged into the traffic lane, and sped toward the river-crossing tunnel entrance, avoiding the pursuing police cars.

“Do you think with your current strength, you can confront me head-on?” Death Killer’s voice sounded again; the connection between them hadn’t been cut off.

“You don’t dare?” Lü Yang provoked the other party. His only chance now was to find a way to meet Death Killer, identify him, and then forcefully pull him into the Mysterious Domain.

The other party probably wouldn’t expect that someone at the Junior Paranormal Master level like Lü Yang possessed a Creation Card, which only a Senior Eerie Practitioner could exchange for.

“Hahaha, even if I stood right in front of you, what could you do?” Death Killer laughed, his tone extremely arrogant.

“Do you dare?” Lü Yang didn’t say much to avoid giving anything away.

“We’ve already met… I was the one driving the SUV that fled over here just now. Congratulations, now you in the SUV have taken my place. The police have identified you as Death Killer and are conducting a citywide manhunt in Guishe City. Hurry and escape. If you successfully reach the river-crossing tunnel entrance, I’ll give you new instructions.” After saying this, Death Killer immediately cut off the connection with Lü Yang.

“Damn!”

Lü Yang swore. When he got into the SUV earlier, he didn’t have much time to think about these issues, and it was unlikely he could shoot the departing driver with his gun. He hadn’t expected to let Death Killer slip away right under his nose.

However, if that driver really was Death Killer himself, it showed that Death Killer had a strong desire for performance and control. Lü Yang should still have a chance to get close to him.

He knew Lü Yang wanted to kill him but deliberately appeared in front of Lü Yang. His purpose was obvious—to toy with Lü Yang and crush his confidence, just like how he tortured Liu Yin before, destroying his spirit while tormenting his girlfriend.

Although Lü Yang didn’t clearly see the driver’s face, he firmly remembered his physique. The driver was a Big Block, with a build similar to Lü Yang’s. Next time they met, Lü Yang felt he should be able to recognize him by his physique.

“Wait! I will definitely kill you with my own hands!”

Lü Yang swore silently in his heart. He had never felt so angry and full of hatred before. If that person appeared in front of him, he would use the cruelest methods he could think of to torture him to death.

Although the recent events gave Lü Yang a slight sense of defeat, he quickly shook off this negative emotion. Any bad feelings now would affect his judgment, which was exactly what Death Killer wanted.

Like now, Lü Yang had to focus on driving. Otherwise, if he got surrounded by police cars, he wouldn’t be able to reach the river-crossing tunnel entrance on time. He might even get shot and captured by the police, wasting Eerie Points on healing and clearing his name.
