Chapter 19 The Shared Secret

Wen Shu didn't understand what Qin Siyang meant, but she still nodded.

Qin Siyang nodded, stopped, turned around, and pushed Wen Shu aside.

A few seconds later, five or six strong men with knives and clubs came over.

The man in the lead had a small long braid. He looked at Qin Siyang and laughed, "Run! Why don't you run anymore? Weren't you good at running?"

Qin Siyang said disdainfully, "I've already reached the place. Why should I run?"

"Reached the place? What place?"

Several strong men looked around and found that this was an old and deserted courtyard house. The wooden house and the pigsty had already collapsed, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

In the courtyard, besides the abandoned stone mill, there was also an old stone well, and it was unclear whether there was water in it or not.

At first glance, it seemed that no one had lived here for at least five or six years.

Looking more closely, the dust on the ground and the cobwebs at the gate of the courtyard showed that not only was there no one living here, but also no one had visited.

Perhaps it was a rural courtyard house that had been abandoned before the end of the world, or perhaps the owner had fled to other places after the end of the world.

The whole courtyard was dark, and they could only roughly make out the surrounding environment by the starlight shining through the air-raid glass.

Qin Siyang also carefully observed the surrounding environment while running and deliberately chose such a place.

The man with the braid asked, "What's so special about this place?"

"Before answering your question, let me ask you first. You are Li Jingwen's uncle, right?" The man with the braid sneered. "That's right, it's me. The matter between Jingwen and Zhou Yang is the hope of our family and can't be ruined by you, kid."

"You even lied to Jingwen, saying that you sent a timed email with a one-week delay. As a result, I and my brothers took turns staking out the entrance of the nearby internet café for a week, but we didn't even see a trace of you."

"Oh, I thought the internet café was too expensive, so I changed my mind when I went there and set the sending time to a month later. If you stop me, a month later, Zhou Yang will know about the matter between me and Li Jingwen, and your family still won't have a chance to turn things around."

"What?! A month?! Are you playing tricks on me?!"

Qin Siyang smiled slightly. "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

The people who followed were all stunned.

They didn't expect that Qin Siyang would change his mind after going to the internet café and delay the sending time of the email that was agreed upon before.

Wen Shu looked at Qin Siyang with a puzzled expression, not knowing what he was up to.

The man with the braid said, "Cancel the email, and we'll pretend that this never happened!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? If I cancel it, you'll still hunt us both down, won't you?"

"Then what do you want?"

At this time, a person beside the man with the braid said, "Brother Long, tie him up and force him to tell us the account and password of the email box. We can cancel his timed email ourselves!"

The man with the braid rolled his eyes and asked worriedly, "Are you sure you can get it out of him?"

"I used to work as a debt collector, and I've done this kind of thing a lot." "Don't brag to me! This matter is related to our family! If you can't do it, I won't let you off!"

"Brother Long, with what you said, I don't know how to reply. Is there anything in the world that is 100% certain? If you don't trust me, forget it. You can figure out a way yourself."

Seeing the hesitant look of these people, Qin Siyang didn't want to wait any longer.

"All right, I won't play tricks on you anymore. Actually, you're right. I really didn't send a timed email. As long as you kill me, the matter between Li Jingwen and Zhou Yang will be safe."

"What?!"

Several people showed expressions of disbelief, not knowing why Qin Siyang would take the initiative to throw himself into trouble.

"Brother Long, this kid wants to die! Then let's grant his wish!"

"Right! Kill him first. As for that girl beside him, let us have some fun with her for a few days before killing her!"

The man with the braid was still a little worried. "This kid won't be trying to go down with us, will he? Maybe he really did set a timed email, but since he doesn't think he can escape, he wants to die quickly!"

"There's a possibility of that..."

"What Brother Long said makes sense. But this is your family's business. In the end, it's up to you to decide what to do."

Several people hesitated again.

Qin Siyang was helpless. People believed him when he told lies, but no one believed him when he told the truth. It was really ridiculous.

"I'm not lying to you. I didn't set the email. I really didn't set it."

"I don't believe you! Guys, tie him up and force him to tell us the account and password. Whoever can do it, I'll give him a thousand copper coins!"

The man with the braid made up his mind and decided to spend a large sum of money. He must get hold of the email box where Qin Siyang had set the sending email.

"Okay! Brother Long is generous!"

"Brother Long, we have a deal!"

"I really didn't set a timed email. Actually, the reason is very simple. If I had set a timed email, I wouldn't have led you here."

The man with the braid frowned. "You were just talking about what's so special about this place, but you still haven't made it clear. I think you're being mysterious on purpose to scare me!"

Qin Siyang said, "I chose this place well."

These people scanned the area vigilantly again but didn't find anything unusual.

The man with the braid asked, "What's so good about it?"

"It's especially suitable for killing people."

The people were stunned for a moment, and then mock smiles appeared on their faces.

"Are you stupid?!"

"I've never seen someone who's about to be killed choose a suitable graveyard for himself!"

"There's really something wrong with your brain! No wonder you dared to mess with our Jingwen!"

However, just as these people were about to take action, Qin Siyang turned into a blur.

"What?!"

"Thud—"

Qin Siyang kicked out with a flying kick towards the chest of one of the men.

Before anyone could figure out what had happened, they saw Qin Siyang appear beside them, and the brother beside them suddenly flew out.

Several people turned around in a panic.

They saw that the man kicked by Qin Siyang had a chest that was as deflated as a punctured balloon.

His eyes bulged, his mouth opened, and he moved slightly twice, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just spat out a mouthful of blood, and his head tilted to one side.

Before he died, his face was still filled with surprise and fear.

The dark environment blurred his facial features, making everyone feel an inexplicable sense of fear.

Seeing the state of their comrade, they immediately realized that Qin Siyang was a sequence ability user!

How could it be possible? In a lousy place like "Ju'an School", how could there be a student who had awakened sequence abilities?!

Before they could react, Qin Siyang swung a punch, which hit one man's throat like a cannonball.

That person fell backward, and his head swung back and forth like a marionette with its strings cut.

"Forgiv..."

Just as one person was about to plead for mercy, Qin Siyang punched him in the back, and he flew out several meters, finally falling at Wen Shu's feet. She let out a scream and quickly jumped back a few steps.

However, Qin Siyang always felt that when Wen Shu screamed, she didn't seem that scared. Moreover, when an ordinary person was scared, they would just be startled for a moment. How could she jump back several steps like that?

Qin Siyang didn't think about the strangeness of this matter anymore and looked at the corpse.

The person who had just been punched in the back by him lay motionless on the ground. On his back, there was a groove the size of a bowl's mouth.

Qin Siyang shook his head. "I still didn't control the strength well. I was already holding back, but I still sent him flying so far."

The man with the braid's pupils were trembling, cold sweat kept flowing down from his head, and he stood there stunned, as if he had lost his soul.

The two remaining survivors, apart from the man with the braid, saw Qin Siyang's skills and knew that they couldn't fight him and couldn't escape either. They immediately knelt down.

"Big brother, spare our lives! Spare our lives!"

"We didn't know what we were getting into. Please give us a chance! It was Kun Chenglong who told us to come! It has nothing to do with us!"

Qin Siyang ignored them and kicked them twice in the chin. The two men flew backward with their heads tilted back and finally landed on their heads first.

With two dull thuds, they went to the paradise together.

As for whether it was the underworld or Satan's hell, Qin Siyang didn't know.

Finally, only the man with the braid, who was shaking all over and couldn't speak, was left.

Qin Siyang patted him on the shoulder and said with great interest, "You should also know about the matter between me and Li Jingwen. Originally, I had a chance to call you uncle. What a pity."

Kun Chenglong immediately reacted and forced a twisted and flattering smile. "No! There's still a chance! It's not a pity! We can still become a family! That girl Jingwen is not sensible. I'll teach her when I get back! I'll definitely make her be with you!"

Qin Siyang pretended to sigh helplessly. "What's done is done. As a sequence ability user, why should I humble myself and endure this humiliation? Didn't you say that Li Jingwen is the hope of your family?"

Kun Chenglong nodded blankly, not understanding what Qin Siyang meant.

"With me around, your family has no hope. I can show you a way out."

"Please tell us! Please tell us! We will definitely do as you say!"

"Go to another world and rebuild your family."

"Yes, yes, yes... Huh?"

Qin Siyang slapped Kun Chenglong in the face, and his head turned a full 360 degrees, then he fell to the side.

"Don't worry, you won't be alone on the way. After a while, when I have time, I'll send your whole family down to accompany you."

After dealing with everyone, Qin Siyang let out a sigh of relief.

He had killed people again.

How many was this?

He couldn't remember. And it didn't matter anymore.

He looked at Wen Shu, who was standing at the edge of the courtyard, and walked over.

Wen Shu was shaking all over and asked in a panic, "You're actually a sequence ability user?"

Qin Siyang smiled. "Yes."

"Then... Then have you thought about how to deal with the bodies here?"

Qin Siyang didn't expect Wen Shu to ask this question.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you too?" Wen Shu also seemed not to expect Qin Siyang to ask this question and looked up at him in confusion. "Why would you kill me..."

"Because you saw me kill people."

Wen Shu looked at Qin Siyang with an innocent expression. "If you wanted to kill me, you could just let me go home by myself... They would have done it. Why go through all this trouble?"

Qin Siyang nodded. "You're really smart. You can still be so calm the first time you see someone being killed."

Wen Shu lowered her head and didn't answer.

Qin Siyang threw all the bodies into the well and heard the dull sound of the bodies hitting the ground.

To avoid being exposed, Qin Siyang didn't even search the pockets of these people for money.

This was a dry well.

He then moved a stone over and covered the dry well.

"Almost done. No one comes here anyway. Let's go."

Wen Shu said, "If you do this, it will leave our scent here. If the police find out, they are likely to find us."

"What do you want to do? Burn this place? There was originally no one here, and it won't attract attention. But if we burn it, won't it attract people instead?"

To get rid of the scent, we don't have to burn this place."

Qin Siyang was stunned for a moment. "Then what else can we do?"

"The food in the cafeteria has a strong smell. You can scatter the food brought from the cafeteria here and also sprinkle some in the well. Before long, it will naturally cover up our smell."

Qin Siyang nodded and then looked at her in confusion. "Where did you learn all these things?"

"I usually like reading books and I read it in a book."

"Is there even this kind of thing in the book? What book did you read?"

"A Hundred Ways to Commit Crimes Without Being Detected by Sequence Users."

"Why did you read that book?"

"I just like reading books and I read all kinds of books. Didn't it come in handy today?"

Qin Siyang took a new look at the delicate girl in front of him whose head only reached his chin and lamented that people can't be judged by their appearance.

After dealing with the scene according to Wen Shu's method, he left the place with Wen Shu.

The two of them walked side by side in the dark alley.

"You're really amazing." Qin Siyang exclaimed sincerely.

"Thank you. I think you're even more amazing."

"Just so-so. What's it like to walk side by side with a murderer?"

"Actually, it's okay."

Wen Shu smiled at Qin Siyang, and the starlight was reflected in her bright eyes.

"After all, we have a shared secret now."
