1211: An Intruder at Midnight

An Intruder at Midnight

"I'm fine, and I already destroyed the mutant," Gu Ning said.2

"Great." Leng Shaoting was relieved. However, it wasn't good that a mutant appeared. "I think we must thoroughly investigate it. If it has something to do with the government, but it isn't produced by our country, we must completely eradicate it. If it is produced by another country, it will become a great threat to our country."

Although it was an age of peace, there were still wars happening in some regions. Mutants could be the best weapon for a war.

Leng Shaoting served in the military after all, and he thought that it was his responsibility to find out the truth.

"I agree. If you need my help, feel free to let me know," Gu Ning said in a very serious tone.

She was worried that Leng Shaoting might be hurt if he ran into a mutant. He was an ordinary human being, while she had the flood dragon to help them. If Gu Ning didn't have the flood dragon, it wouldn't be easy for her to deal with a mutant either.

"Oh, I have only figured out one way to completely destroy a mutant till now. That's to remove all the blood from his body. As long as there is no blood left in his body, it'll be impossible for him to recover, but it takes a long time and a lot of energy. Even the flood dragon spent half an hour on it. I think it will probably take hours for a human to do it. Anesthetics are also effective, but only for a short time," Gu Ning added.

"Alright, I understand. I'll be careful if I see them," Leng Shaoting said.

They chatted for a while longer, then Gu Ning went to take a bath and sleep.

That night, Gu Ning had many dreams about ghosts, monsters, cultivators, and mutants that she had met before in real life. However, a vampire also showed up in her dream, which she had never met before.

The vampire wanted to suck Gu Ning's blood, but she was tied up and couldn't move at all, which scared Gu Ning so she woke up at once.

Although it was just a dream, Gu Ning was sure that the vampire really existed. It must be a hint of something that would happen to her in the future.

A vampire was a dead body that climbed out of a grave and sucked human blood to stay alive, and it had supernatural powers.

As soon as Gu Ning woke up from the frightening dream, she noticed a figure on the balcony outside her bedroom. Gu Ning was surprised and used her Jade Eyes to look at it without delay.

She saw a 30-year-old man in a black cloak and mask. There was also a short knife in his waist, and he dressed like a person from ancient times.

Ancient times?

Gu Ning thought that the man probably came from the cultivation world.

She wasn't sure how people in the cultivation world dressed, but ordinary people wouldn't dress in this way.

Anyway, it was just her guess.

The window of the balcony was open, so the man easily got through it.

He moved very lightly, and Gu Ning could barely hear his movements. It was obvious that the man wasn't an ordinary person.

Gu Ning closed her eyes and pretended that she was still asleep. She wanted to know what the man was going to do.

If he just wanted money, Gu Ning would punish him lightly. However, if he wanted to kill her, she would pay him back without doubt.

Even though Gu Ning closed her eyes, she could still see what was happening with the help of her Jade Eyes.

Given Gu Ning's ability, it was easy for her to pretend to be asleep.

The man soon came into Gu Ning's bedroom, and he didn't find out Gu Ning was pretending to be asleep. He thought that Gu Ning was still sleeping deeply.

Afterwards, he pulled out the short knife from his waist, and walked to the bed. It turned out that he came to kill Gu Ning.

Who sent him?

Gu Ning knew that she had many enemies, and a lot of them wanted her dead, so it wasn't strange that someone came to murder her.

Right when the man was about to stab Gu Ning, Gu Ning opened her eyes and caught his wrist.

The man was shocked by Gu Ning's agility. The next second, he began to struggle violently.

Gu Ning didn't give him much time and broke his wrist with a clear sound. She wouldn't hesitate to beat him up, because he came to kill her.

The man wasn't weak at all, and he fought against Gu Ning with only one hand.

Although he was shocked by Gu Ning's fighting skills and strength, he had to kill her tonight, or his life would be in danger. Therefore, he used her full strength to attack Gu Ning.

The noises of their fight alarmed Gao Yi and Qiao Ya. They quickly put on their clothes and went to Gu Ning's room as fast as they could. "Lady Ning, are you alright?"
