'The person who just melted the rooftop and the one who poured the potion for the poisonous vines to grow, are not the same person.'
'In other words, there are at least two people on the rooftop.'
'Since there are already two people up there, the chances are, enemy came as a team to kill me and snatch my sequence potion.'
'There is definitely an ambush at the entrance, just waiting for me to push open the door and be killed in one strike.'
There were many ways for Sequence Awakeners to kill. Strength was the most direct method, but it was not the only one.
Qin Siyang had no confidence that he could withstand a surprise attack from a Sequence User lying in wait at the entrance.
But as the vines continued to grow, the black smoke in the warehouse became thicker and thicker. If he didn't escape soon, he'd end up passing out from the poison.
Qin Siyang thought for a moment.
He had no idea what ability the Sequence User lying in ambush at the entrance possessed.
But he had already figured out the sequences of the two people on the rooftop.
[Forge Master] and [Toxicologist].
These two Sequence Awakeners had one fatal flaw in common.
Weak close-combat abilities.
Qin Siyang glanced up, the corners of his mouth slightly curling.
On the rooftop, two black-clad, masked figures were whispering.
One of them asked nervously, "Why did it suddenly go quiet inside? Did he already pass out?"
The other patted him on the shoulder, "Relax, my [Growing Poison Vines] will keep emitting toxic fumes. If he hasn't left the warehouse, just wait another twenty minutes, he'll definitely pass out. By then, we can just go in, kill him, and snatch the sequence potion."
"I don't know, I feel like standing here is dangerous. We should go down and regroup with the others."
"Regroup? Where else could be safer than here? This warehouse is ten meters high. Even if Qin Siyang has activated the Sequence Level 3 [Phantom Assassin]'s [Life or Death Edge], he still can't jump up here. The others down there will probably have to fight him head-on. What's safer than staying right here?"
"…Fin—"
BANG!!
Before the word fully left his mouth, a fist suddenly punched through the rooftop beneath their feet, smashing straight into one of their jaws.
That person instantly toppled backward like a felled log.
Before the other could even react, Qin Siyang's sweeping kick slammed into his waist, sending him sprawling onto the rooftop.
Qin Siyang immediately stepped forward and stomped down hard on his head, caving in half of his face. Then, grabbing them both by the collar, he tossed them through the hole in the roof and into the warehouse.
Outside the warehouse entrance, the three people in ambush heard the commotion from the rooftop and inside the warehouse, their faces changing drastically.
"What the hell? What happened to Bob and Fu Yang? Did they melt the wrong part of the roof and fall into the warehouse?"
"Who knows?"
"Captain, what do we do? Should we go in and check?"
"No! We just heard noise from inside. Qin Siyang is awake. If we go in now, it's too dangerous. We have to wait until he's fully unconscious. Remember, he even managed to kill John!"
"…Alright…"
The three of them waited anxiously at the entrance.
None of them had even considered the possibility that Qin Siyang could leap onto the rooftop and take down two people in an instant.
Meanwhile, Qin Siyang crouched at the edge of the roof, listening to their conversation below.
"Bob and Fu Yang, huh?"
He pulled out his phone and checked the [Godslayer Camp] for information on those two.
Coincidentally, in Area 14121, there was indeed a Bob Hunter, a [Toxicologist], and a Fu Yang, a [Forge Master].
And both of them belonged to the same God-Hunting Squad.
[Captain: Sun Juhong]
Qin Siyang immediately recalled that scar-faced man.
'So it's him.'
Sun Juhong's team had a total of five members.
Besides Bob and Fu Yang, who were now inside the warehouse with unknown fates, there were three others:
Huang Qizheng [Restrainer]
Johnson Stones [Warrior]
Sun Juhong [Thrower]
Qin Siyang instantly saw through their plan.
'Looks like they wanted Huang Qizheng to restrain me, Johnson to engage in close combat, and Sun Juhong to attack from a distance.'
He needed to eliminate them immediately.
When he had leaped onto the rooftop earlier, he had already activated [Violence]. If he delayed any longer, its effect would wear off.
This was the third time he had used [Violence] in the past twenty-four hours. Once it ended, he would be completely exhausted and unable to fight.
He had to end this fast.
Qin Siyang's gaze locked onto the three below. He recognized Sun Juhong. The blonde one should be Johnson, and the black-haired one was Huang Qizheng.
Seizing the opportunity, he dropped down from the rooftop like a cannonball, slamming directly onto Huang Qizheng's head.
With a sickening crunch, Huang Qizheng's skull caved in as he collapsed like a crushed starfish.
Qin Siyang had instantly eliminated the key person who could restrict his movements.
Sun Juhong and Johnson flinched in shock, about to retaliate.
But they were far weaker than Qin Siyang in every aspect. Their Sequence Levels were also completely outmatched.
They were no threat.
Qin Siyang punched Sun Juhong's skull, shattering it instantly. Then, grabbing Sun Juhong's spear, he threw it with all his might, impaling Johnson right through the nose, the spearhead bursting out the back of his skull.
A while later, the effect of [Violence] faded. Qin Siyang slumped against the wall, panting heavily.
His throat wound had torn open again due to the exertion of [Violence]. The cold air rushing in made it sting so badly that sweat beaded on his forehead.
Looking at the three corpses, Qin Siyang pondered how to report the incident.
The toxins from [Growing Poison Vines] corroded the brain, preventing [Undying] Sequence Awakeners from reading memories.
Huang Qizheng's skull was crushed.
Johnson's brain was pierced by Sun Juhong's spear.
Sun Juhong's skull was deformed by his punch.
All three had suffered severe brain damage, making memory extraction impossible.
That meant he was the only one who knew what really happened.
He carefully wiped his fingerprints off the spear, then adjusted Sun Juhong's fingers into a gripping position that mimicked a throwing stance.
Opening the warehouse door, he let the poisonous mist linger over the bodies for a while, ensuring that the residual scent masked all other traces.
Then, he deliberately took two deep breaths in the poisonous mist, making himself dizzy.
Only then did he call the Sequence Awakeners Management Bureau.
"Hello, Management Bureau? I need to report a case…"
The deaths of five Sequence Awakeners made this the most severe case in the history of Safe Zone 14121.
Very quickly, the Director of the Sequence User Management Bureau, Feng Shouben, personally rushed to the scene.
At the same time, having caught wind of the incident, Olov also arrived, he never missed anything related to Qin Siyang.
And at this moment, Qin Siyang sat there, looking utterly pale and poisoned, as he was questioned.
His expression was one of helpless fear and confusion.
Feng Shouben and Olov stood on either side, listening to the investigation unfold.
