That night, the moon was bright, and the stars were few. The temperature plummeted again, making Baiyun City, a city in the north, seem to have entered a cold winter overnight.
Xiao Zhen’s initial residence was not far from Bai Zhou’s apartment. However, he was born to like silence and lived an isolated life in the past. In addition, he needed a wider place to do his research, so he moved to a villa with a huge garden in the suburbs recently.
Xiao Zhen had planted many inexplicable plants in the villa’s garden. These plants were still lively and lush in such cold weather.
At this moment, in the laboratory on the top floor, Xiao Zhen was focused on fiddling with the equipment in his hand. From time to time, he would mix various liquids and gases. It was obvious that he was doing brand new medical research.
The surroundings were strangely quiet. One could hear only the sound of various instruments operating and the crisp sound of glass containers colliding.
!!
Xiao Zhen was often the most focused when doing experiments, and he could often enter a state of selflessness.
However, today, he felt that something was wrong with his condition. He could not devote himself to it, and his heart had not completely calmed down.
With a slightly cold expression, Xiao Zhen casually turned off the device. He had always been like this. When his condition was not right, he never forced himself to do anything.
After leaving the laboratory, Xiao Zhen went straight to the living room downstairs. He realized that there was a person standing with her back to him under the right wall of the living room.
That person had a delicate and graceful figure. In Baiyun City, where the temperature had already fallen below zero, she was wearing denim hot pants that almost couldn’t cover her buttocks. Her upper body was also covered in a black tube top that barely covered her chest.
The other party raised her head slightly and looked at a famous painting hanging on the wall.
However, even in such a strange and sudden situation, Xiao Zhen did not react at all. He just stood at the stairs and looked at the other party’s back.
It was obvious that the other party had a motive for coming uninvited. However, Xiao Zhen differed from others. He had never been interested in others’ motives.
Even if the other party was here to kill him.
“Kanhit’s ‘Angel’s Code.’ This is a painting I’ve been looking for many years,” the person suddenly said slowly. Her tone was as casual as if she was chatting with an old friend. “I didn’t expect to see this here.”
As soon as she finished speaking, this person slowly turned around, revealing her angel-like face. The smile on her face was exceptionally warm and bright.
Her blue eyes were like clear eagle rocks, and her golden hair was soft and bright. She looked beautiful and harmless.
It was Louise.
However, facing a foreign beauty like Louise, Xiao Zhen slowly said, “Why don’t you leave early after looking at the painting? I’m preparing to sleep.”
“Pfft…”
Louise covered her mouth and smiled playfully. She looked at Xiao Zhen with glowing eyes. “You’re indeed different.”
Xiao Zhen looked at Louise expressionlessly. No matter how lively she was, Xiao Zhen looked at her expressionlessly. He did not even move his feet.
However, in the next second, Louise, who was standing in front of him, gradually faded. She did not disappear immediately, but at a speed visible to the naked eye. She slowly turned transparent until she completely disappeared.
At this moment, Xiao Zhen’s expression finally changed. This woman was an ability user.
Without waiting for Xiao Zhen to think, Louise’s voice sounded in the empty living room again. “Since you plan to sleep, why don’t you keep sleeping?!”
The voice echoed in the living room, but Louise’s body was nowhere to be seen. Without thinking, Xiao Zhen already had his first judgment. This person’s ability was invisibility!
In the next moment, Xiao Zhen’s spiritual energy instantly spread out. Although they were both ability users, Xiao Zhen had the mental cultivation techniques of ancient China, while the other party had those of Western.
Although the two of them were not ordinary people, there was a fundamental difference.
The air in the living room instantly became chaotic. Black and purple smoke quickly spread out, instantly blurring people’s vision.
Louise’s voice sounded again, but with a faint excitement. “Oh? You’re indeed an ability user. Is this smoke poisonous?”
Xiao Zhen did not respond. Instead, he raised his hand and quickly made a mark. Then, the spreading smoke suddenly condensed into the shape of a dragon. In the next second, the poisonous smoke dragon started to move quickly in the living room.
Wherever the smoke dragon passed, it would leave behind a pungent smell that carried physical attack power. Anything it hit would get shattered.
Although Louise was invisible, she was also dodging the smoke dragon’s attack.
However, Louise was not in a sorry state. She even enjoyed it. Although the smoke dragon was fast, she could handle it easily. Her chest did not rise and fall. She had been holding her breath so that she would not inhale the poisonous smoke.
Xiao Zhen’s ability was interesting to her, so Louise didn’t kill him immediately. Instead, she played with him with interest.
From this, it was easy to tell that Louise’s invisibility was just a life-saving ability. Her true strength was even stronger.
At this moment, a white man in a black jacket passed through the wall from the outside. He didn’t shatter the wall but passed through it as if it was nothing.
Xiao Zhen frowned. There was another one?
“Gale, he’s mine!”
Louise, who was playing, suddenly appeared behind Gale and looked at him unhappily.
Gale chuckled. “Andrew said you were too slow and asked me to help you resolve it. It’s too cold outside. Everyone is waiting to go back.”
“Are you here to kill Bai Zhou?” Xiao Zhen suddenly asked.
Not that he suddenly thought of it, but other than Bai Zhou, the living target, he could not think of a reason someone would suddenly attack him. He kept a low profile and did not care about the world. He had almost no enemies in this world, so the only possibility was that Bai Zhou had implicated him.
Gale smiled and said to Xiao Zhen, “Oh, you’ve guessed it!”
When Xiao Zhen heard this, his expression instantly froze. With a wave of his hand, the smoke dragon instantly changed form and became a furious black Taotie!
Xiao Zhen’s eyes were murderous. He looked at Louise and Gale and said in a low voice, “None of you will leave today!”
