Chapter 215: Robbery in the Forest
Yang Ming not only learned the killing techniques from Fang Tian, but he also learned how to dispose of the corpse to cover the scene.
This was important knowledge. After killing someone, the person correspondingly had to cover up the scene. Not only must the person be skillful in covering it up, but he also needed to have a strong mentality. Yang Ming was dumbfounded how Dong Jun could collect so many corpses for Yang Ming to learn with. These corpses were obtained from a medical university.
Besides body dissolution powder, there were many ways to dispose of a corpse. Body dissolution powder was the last resort. According to Fang Tian, body dissolution powder was rare and expensive. He couldnāt create such a powder.
āThis body dissolution powder was given by a chief of the Miao people to my master. The chief was a master in voodoo. The amount used for each time is not much. I still have half of the bottle.ā Fang Tian said, āYou must use it wisely. There is no more if you finish it.ā
āMiao? Voodoo?ā Yang Ming was shocked then he thought of Lan Ling again. Is she okay? She had left for a day. Why didnāt she contact me? She must have reached Yunnan by now.
Fang Tian noticed Yang Mingās strange expression. He didnāt know Yang Ming was worried about Lan Ling. He thought it must be connected to the body dissolution powder, so he explained, āThis body dissolution powder is actually a voodoo. Voodoo is a type of bacteria or insect that is cultivated by the Miao people. From the words āvoodooā [1], there is an insect below a container.ā
āThis body dissolution powder is a type of voodoo. It isnāt any kind of chemical. Even chemicals like sulfuric acid didnāt have such strong corrosive powers. This is a type of bacteria. It was usually in a dormant state. When it touches the body, it will grow quickly and devour the body. When the body is gone, it will evaporate into the air and die. It canāt be collected again. This thing isnāt rare for actual Miao people. I heard that this body dissolution powder was used to dispose of opponent corpses during the war between the Black Miao people and White Miao people.
Yang Ming nodded his head. He thought Lan Lingās grandmother might know how to mix it.
Yang Ming woke up later and shortened his time for training because of Lan Ling. He didnāt want to give up on it, so he decided to continue his training at night.
Speed and strength must be improved during early training. If not, it will be difficult to improve later on. Yang Ming didnāt want to cultivate his laziness. Therefore, Yang Ming ran toward the north forest.
At night, the forest was desolate and deserted. No one would come here especially during late autumn.
āAh!ā A shrill womanās cry broke the silence in the night.
Yang Ming was stunned. Was there a ghost at this hour? But Yang Ming was never afraid of ghosts. He quickly hid behind a tree and observed the surroundings calmly.
This habit was a result of his a.s.sa.s.sination training. The first thing to do is to cover his position during an emergency.
Under the tree in the darkness was the best spot to hide. The tree can effectively block the attack from others, and it will hide his position.
But no one noticed Yang Ming. Yang Ming had confirmed the direction of the voice. It was not far from him. Under the moon, there was a lady in a white s.h.i.+rt squatting on the floor and looking horribly at a man wearing a black s.h.i.+rt holding a knife.
There was a small bag beside the girl, and the contents of it were scattered around. Yang Ming could look clearly in the small bag through his night vision ability. The things were some mushrooms.
āWhat do you want?ā The woman was looking at the black-s.h.i.+rted man with fear.
The womanās voice wasnāt loud actually. But Yang Ming could clearly hear the words in the silent night. Even if he couldnāt, he would be able to read her lips.
āGive me all your valuable items. Wallet, phone, necklace!ā The black-s.h.i.+rted man raised his knife and intimidated her. But the voice of black-s.h.i.+rted man was trembling.
This was his first time committing a robbery. He had no choice but to do it.
An experienced robber wouldnāt choose this forest without anyone here to rob. But Hou Zhenhan thought that a robbery could only be executed in a small alley or the forest. He was influenced by movies and novels. But he coincidentally met a girl who was collecting mushrooms when he reached the forest, so Hou Zhenhan threatened her with a dagger.
Hou Zhenhan was frightened because he didnāt expect the woman to shout all of a sudden. Later, Hou Zhenhan was relieved that the place was in the forest so there wouldnāt be anyone there.
He was scared that the woman would resist, so he took out his knife. He didnāt want to kill anyone. He did it because he had no choice. Although Hou Zhenhan acted calmly, his mind was agitated.
āāI hope that she could give me her money without resisting. I didnāt really want to do it! I wouldnāt do such a thing if I didnāt need money to save a life!ā
This was so strange! Yang Ming heard the āmindā of the black-s.h.i.+rted man! Yang Ming was certain that he didnāt speak at all. Yang Ming was agitated. Why does this ability only work in emergency situations? I canāt really stay calm and a.n.a.lyze the usage of this ability!
āI donāt have a cell phoneā¦ā Lin Zhiyun subconsciously covered her pocket. There was 1,200 yuan in it. It was the salary that she just got from home tutoring.
My fatherās legs arenāt recovered yet. This money is for his medication fee. I canāt let him take it away! But Lin Zhiyun didnāt have any experience, and her action exposed her valuables.
āWhat is the thing in your pocket? Show me!ā The black-s.h.i.+rted man clearly noticed Lin Zhiyunās movement.
āNoā¦ nothingā¦ā Lin Zhiyun stuttered.
āNothing? Huh! Do you want to do it yourself or do I do it for you?ā The black-s.h.i.+rted man certainly didnāt believe her.
āIā¦ canāt give you that money!ā Lin Zhiyun said stubbornly.
āCanāt give? Why not? Arenāt you afraid that I would kill you?ā The black-s.h.i.+rted man stepped closer and swung his dagger. It s.h.i.+ned a desolate white light under the moonlight.
āI canāt giveā¦ youā¦ this moneyā¦ pleaseā¦ spare meā¦ā Lin Zhiyun showed a face of helplessness.
āYour money or your life?ā The black-s.h.i.+rted man was angry at the woman for playing dumb. In the movies, people were frightened when the robber showed his knife. But what was this girl doing?
āIā¦ā Lin Zhiyun clenched her teeth. āThis money is for my dadās medicationā¦ I canāt give it to youā¦ā
āMedication?ā The black-s.h.i.+rted man was stunned, but he followed up in anger. āYou bullsh*t! You have such fair skin and look so beautiful! You must be from a rich family! You canāt even tell a lie!ā
Lin Zhiyun was dumbfounded. Iām rich because Iām beautiful? What logic is this? But she still had to explain, āSā¦ sir, this really is my dadās medication feeā¦ I didnāt lie to you!ā
ā āDidnāt lie to me? Is this really a coincidence? Iām robbing for my momās medication fee! Then, your money is for your dadās medication fee?ā
Yang Ming finally knew why would the black-s.h.i.+rted man chose to rob. So he had his reason! But why is the girl so familiar? Have I seen her before?
Yang Ming had better vision than the black-s.h.i.+rted man. The black-s.h.i.+rted man couldnāt clearly see Lin Zhiyunās clothes at night. If it was in the daytime, the cheap clothes she wore could be easily identified! How could this person be rich?
Yang Ming knew that the girl was telling the truth. The two of them were so pitiful!
Yang Ming shook his head. He initially wanted to stop the black-s.h.i.+rted man with violence, but now he had to change his plan.
Yang Ming sighed and walked toward them. He spoke loudly, āHow much money do you want?ā
