While the nine were enthusiastically plotting, they hardly noticed two women sitting at the table next to them, who overheard their entire plan.
After all, they lacked experience, discussing such matters without concern for being overheard.
Tao Qingqing and Hu Youling felt a bit disappointed when they saw these nine individuals. Fresh chapters posted on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
These nine guys didn't seem like the evil, bloodthirsty monsters; they weren't the targets of capture for the Sanctuary, and the two women considered their trip a waste.
But after listening to their plan, the two women changed their minds.
If they really intended to kill someone, then it was their duty to intervene.
After the group of nine quickly finalized their plan, An San led them to the place where the victim was located.
Their target was a residential area in the suburb of Nuiz City, which was full of small villas.
In the Capital District, only wealthy people could afford such places, while in the U.S.-Canada District, owning such a house was just the standard for an average family.
Hu Youling and Tao Qingqing followed behind this group, their expressions slightly peculiar.
In the past, they caught monsters in the act of executing evil plans, but this time they witnessed the whole process of monsters formulating an evil plan.
Also, these nine fools were so unprofessional, showing no counter-detection skills and failing to notice being followed.
The curtains were half-drawn, and a skinny young man stood by the window, gazing outside with a shadowy expression.
His skin was quite pale, as if it had never seen the sun, and his head was slightly larger than average.
The TV in the room was playing a news segment about a criminal being released without charge.
He knew he was the perpetrator, others knew it was his doing, but due to lack of decisive evidence, he had been released.
The lawyer who defended the criminal spoke confidently under the camera, as if he had advanced justice, appearing very righteous.
Others might truly believe this rhetoric, but the young man knew exactly how much money he had taken and the mood he was in when taking it.
The young man turned to look at the TV and slightly shook his head: "Foolish people recklessly spread their foolish thoughts, and even more foolish ones believe them wholeheartedly."
"Justice and righteousness compromise with reality, calling it helplessness, while the guilty sing proudly under the spotlight, considering it rightful."
"The world was countless years ago, it is now, and it's the same in other worlds; it has always been so, never changing."
In the shadow of the curtains, the young man laughed exaggeratedly: "I love this world, I love watching their downfall, so that I can..."
His brow suddenly furrowed: "Why are these idiots here, are they coming for me?"
"Wait, there are others tracking them from behind."
The young man took two steps back, pondered for two seconds, then sat down on a chair, pulling a double-barreled shotgun from the drawer.
Due to cultural reasons, in all the districts of the Federation, only the U.S.-Canada District doesn't have a complete gun ban, allowing citizens to legally own shotguns and small-caliber handguns, so there are often shooting incidents among civilians.
But it was much better compared to before the Federation was founded, back then the U.S.-Canada District was practically the world's dreamland for gunfights.
The young man pulled out the shotgun not to fight but to disguise himself as a victim.
The group of nine gathered in front of the house, whispering to each other.
"This incident is our Heaven Earth Human Nine Immortals' first action, absolutely can't have any accidents, we must kill this person."
Xia Si, Xie Wu, and Bei Liu drooled, they had longed to taste human flesh.
Hiding behind, Tao Qingqing rolled her eyes: "Heaven Earth Human Nine Immortals, these losers have quite a name for themselves."
Qing Jiu took a deep breath and then exhaled a strange scent, which rolled into the surrounding households, causing the nearby people to cough non-stop, leaving their homes one after another.
After clearing the area, Xie Wu slapped his hand on the young man's house door, and the door was shattered, allowing the nine to enter the room in turn.
The young man pretended to be terrified: "What, what are you here for?"
"We're here to kill!" An San said excitedly.
"Kill, kill, we want to kill!" The other members chimed in, their expressions all exhilarated.
The young man sighed, firing a shot that made An San stumble back a few steps, tumbling out of the window.
"Run quickly, or we'll be eaten!"
"Humans are indeed terrifying."
"Wow, mom, my ears are almost deafened."
The remaining eight monsters squeezed out of the house through the door and windows, one after another.
An San, who was shot, also glanced at the bullet hole in his chest, got up and followed his siblings.
The young man was a little stunned; these were nine monsters, how could they be scared off with one shot, and it was just an ordinary shotgun, barely capable of harming these creatures...
"How weak do I look to be targeted by these morons."
Tao Qingqing and Hu Youling also couldn't help but laugh, having never expected to have followed a group of clowns scared off by a shotgun for so long.
Still, if they weren't of such a personality, they wouldn't have been in the real world for so long and considered killing such an earth-shattering matter.
Though this group was ridiculous, Tao Qingqing and her counterpart still intended to chase after them, at least to give them a talking-to, and prevent any further murderous thoughts.
After running some distance, the Heaven Earth Human Nine Immortals regrouped and reassured each other, patting each other's backs.
"Thankfully we ran fast and acted natural enough, otherwise that human was really terrifying." Bei Liu said, still frightened.
The others nodded in agreement, although their strength wasn't great and their personalities were straightforward, perhaps precisely because of such nature, they have a sense of danger beyond typical monsters.
When that young man picked up the gun just now, it felt like they were facing an unparalleled terrifying entity, something surpassing any superpower user they had seen, even recalling it made their skin crawl.
Yet the monster seemed to dislike exposing its identity, hence they acted crazy and escaped a catastrophe.
As the nine prepared to flee further, they found the paths on both sides of the road were blocked by a woman at each end.
The woman on the left had crimson eyes, sharp fangs in her mouth, while the woman on the right was exceedingly beautiful with a few fluffy tails behind her.
Both women exuded a powerful aura that made the Heaven Earth Human Nine Immortals tremble.
For them, fighting wasn't an option, so they prepared to escape through the sky.
But before they could ready the Flying Technique, they saw a massive snake, several meters thick, coiled on the rooftop, its cold eyes unemotionally fixed on them.
"We surrender, we surrender!"
The nine raised their hands in unison.
