The second body was soon discovered and it became even more chaotic. Everyone was panicking and the exit was choked with people. Everyone was trying to find a way out, fearing that they would be killed by some fierce killer.
Normally, most people would run outwards. Hence, those who stayed were not normal people.
Who would be so fearless as to stay here? Money was less important than life, and even salespeople at the mall got so frightened that they ran out.
Lu waited motionlessly in the dark.
With her extraordinary sight, she was looking at the vast underground mall calmly.
Soon, she found several hidden passages and next to them, there were a few fearless salespersons who were guarding their stores.
The two doubles who had survived were less fearless than the salespeople, but started to walk around, trying purposefully to draw Lu’s attention.
The two men had already died and these two were close to their deaths.
One of them was approaching Lu, and she could notice that even as he was trying to stay calm, his fingers were trembling. Had it not been because of her good sight, she would not have noticed that.
The real Tang Shunian would not have such a reaction.
Tang Shunian must be afraid of death too, but he would never show fear in such an obvious way.
Lu killed the third double who was just 127 meters away from her, dashing towards the fourth double instead of hiding herself any more.
The fourth double soon ran through a security door and went downstairs alongside the passage.
Seeing him disappear, Lu did not go after him but returned to her original position.
That guy was leading her to a trap, undoubtedly and she finally understood how she had been discovered.
There were cameras everywhere in the underground mall. It was very easy to find someone and Tang Shunian knew who she was. He must be seated somewhere watching her at the moment.
Lu found the CCTV room of the mall. Several men in security officers’ uniforms were guarding it.
Before Lu entered the room, someone was already raising his gun to shoot at her, but she managed to dodge it.
These people were not security officers of the mall, because the real security officers were not armed.
These were all Tang Shunian’s men, waiting for Lu to come there.
Lu had never lost a fight in the gun shooting, and there were only six of them here who were not that skilled.
Within minutes, the windows of the CCTV room were shattered as the six men dropped dead.
Lu walked forward calmly, without bothering to look at the six corpses on the floor. She stared at the cameras and devices, instead.
She glanced around and understood that Tang Shunian’s devices must be connected to these. But she could not waste her efforts in trying to disconnect every cameras.
She cut off the power of the room and the screens turned dark.
As extra precaution, Lu destroyed all the devices. She did not want Tang Shunian’s men to turn on the power after she left. Then what she had done would be meaningless.
After Lu came out of the CCTV room, Lu soon found the electricity room and walked in.
There were Tang Shunian’s men waiting for her there as well. Lu started to suspect that Tang Shunian must own the entire mall.
A few minutes later, the men in this room were all dead as well.
Lu pulled the power plug out and the entire mall turned dark.
Lu was not affected by the darkness. She could still see everything clearly.
Lu also destroyed the devices in the electricity room so that it was not possible to restore them.
A lethal air was dominating the underground mall, and the sales people who had not run away were no longer pretending. They were all armed, hiding behind the stores and trying to shoot the invader down.
Lu liked darkness. It helped her put her ability into full play.
She was more capable than ordinary people, yet she was still a human being and she would get injured and fall into a disadvantageous place when she was surrounded.
But in darkness, she could become more capable and there was less possibility that she could get injured. That was why she found that carrying out an operation in darkness was safer for her.
Lu did not choose to check each of the passages, because that would get her killed, and that was not something she would do.
Tang Shunian was quite good at building all kinds of passages and cellars, and Lu got wounded last time in the cellar. She was actually a bit scared of the complicated passages and strange cellars.
It was easy to enter an underground world, but getting out of there safely was very difficult.
Lu waited patiently, blending herself with the darkness.
Twenty-one hours later, it was still dead silent there. Lu stood motionlessly, just like a statue in the darkness.
For a killer like Lu, hiding in a place for long-time waiting was necessary, and a fundamental skill for a killer.
If she could not keep herself safe, then she would not be able to kill anyone else.
But not everyone was as patient as Lu.
Down in the dark underground mall, some noise could be heard.
Someone sneaked into a deeper exit of the cellar.
Without moving, Lu was still waiting patiently.
Two people were dead here and lots of customers and sales people had run out, but no policeman had come to the rescue.
Lu understood that Jing Yichen must have gone through all the contacts of B City, and had arranged for some men for her outside and was dealing with the emergency outside.
As long as she was not going out or sending the signal, no one would come in.
This was her battlefield.
