Chapter 191 Emerald's Skillful Use of Force
"Your tools for committing the crime were not properly put away."
Ben fell silent. This guy attacked like a robber, and Ben had already lost too much blood and fainted on the ground. How could he possibly have time to clean up?
Changing the subject, he asked, "How did you get in?"
Pei Hening stuffed the room key into her pocket, looking completely innocent: "You didn't close the door."
Book:"..."
He shut it down!
He closed the door as soon as he got back to the suite!
This guy not only broke in illegally, but he also turned around and accused us!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Pei Hening continued, "Your real purpose is to avenge your sister?"
Ben's pupils dilated in shock; he was truly astonished. Cui Bisi seemed like a mere ornament; how did she even manage to guess?
Pei Hening looked completely innocent. Of course, she was just following the task given to her by the system and making connections based on Ben's words.
"what you up to?"
Ben's words reminded Pei Hening that it was too inefficient for her to handle Senasi and Merkel alone, and perhaps she could bring him along.
Her eyes lit up, and she had an idea.
"Perhaps I can help you find the murderer..."
Half an hour later, Ben looked at her with a complicated expression: "Isn't what we're doing a bit inhumane?"
Pei Hening narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly smiled, "Since you're not willing, then forget it."
Ben shouted urgently, "Do it! Do the inhumane things!"
Ben pulled off his collarbone chain, fiddled with it in his hand, and pulled out a small vial of light purple medicine, which he carefully applied to the wound.
Treat your wounds properly and bandage them if necessary.
Pei Hening glanced at the pale purple potion again. She had never seen it before and did not recognize it, but she smelled a familiar herbal scent—Wind Pearl Grass.
Wind Pearl Grass is the main herb for crafting intermediate-level healing potions, and it is not picky about its growing environment. It can grow as long as it has water, sunlight, and soil. Wind Pearl Grass can usually grow to about 15cm in length, and its maturity is marked by the appearance of clusters of light blue beads about one millimeter in diameter along the upper edge of its leaves.
The scent of the herb initially has a faint grassy fragrance, but after two minutes it has a slight scent of menthol, like the kind you apply when you're carsick, and a cooling sensation that travels from your nose to your brain.
This herb is quite potent; even when processed into medicine, its original flavor will remain.
Seeing that she kept staring at the medicine in his hand, he said, "I only have one of these, I can't give it to you. I'll change my clothes and then we'll get going."
He grabbed the collarbone chain and the bottle of pale purple potion, heading towards the bedroom. Soon, he changed into a white tracksuit and came out, walking to the table to tidy up his tools. Glancing at Pei Hening out of the corner of his eye, he noticed her empty hands and asked, "What weapon do you want?"
Pei Hening raised an eyebrow and said, "I have my own."
The two set off to make arrests, and they intercepted Senasi and a foreign diplomat named Barton at the elevator entrance on the thirteenth floor.
"Mr. Senasi, thank you for your company today."
Patton, carrying a blue bucket, sincerely thanked him.
"It is my duty, Ms. Barton."
He looked at the elevator, which hadn't yet reached the thirteenth floor, and invited with a smile, "How about we take the stairs? We're meeting Merke on the eleventh floor anyway."
Barton wasn't keen on walking, but she did have to wait for the elevator, so she nodded: "Okay."
Pei Hening and Ben noticed that they were heading towards the stairs. She whispered, "You take over Barton, and I'll subdue Senaxi."
Ben put his bag on the ground, pulled out his cut-resistant gloves and noose, and prepared for a life-or-death battle with Senaxi. He was stunned when he heard this arrangement: "Shouldn't I be the one to subdue Senaxi?"
Pei Hening looked disgusted: "With your low health, feeding kills is more reliable than subduing Senasi."
Ben decisively handed over what he was holding: "Tsuibisi, I believe in you. If you take him down, I'll become your underling."
"unnecessary."
Pei Hening didn't take the cut-resistant gloves and the rope. Instead, she stepped out from the shadows around the corner and approached them: "Barton? Where are you and Senaxi going? Why aren't you taking the elevator?"
Patton breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person who came was Tribes. He said, "I arranged to meet Merke on the eleventh floor. It's not far. I was thinking of taking the stairs."
Ben followed closely behind and greeted them, "Barton, Senasie."
He seized the opportunity to pull Barton over, and Pei Hening immediately launched an attack, raising his hand to strike hard. Senasi's pupils shrank sharply, and he hurriedly raised his hand to block.
Seeing this, Pei Hening changed his palm into a claw, pressed forward, broke through the block, and went straight for his eyes.
Senasi was forced to retreat, trying to avoid her claws, but still ended up hurting his eye.
Pei Hening fiercely pulled out the corner of his eye and yanked it outwards. Sure enough, this guy was also wearing a mask!
Barton was startled by the sudden turn of events. Pei Hening and Senasi were fighting so fiercely and quickly that she was in a blind spot and hadn't noticed that Senasi was wearing a mask. She anxiously asked, "Trebis! What are you doing?"
She tried to rush over to help, but Ben held her tightly, preventing her from doing so: "Calm down, calm down, please."
Damn it, who spread the rumor that girls are weak and have little offensive power? Patton's strength is like that of a stubborn bull!
Barton pried his fingers apart, his tone urgent: "They started fighting for no reason, and not only are you not going to help mediate, you're also stopping me from doing so?"
"Ouch! My finger! Sis! Sister, sister! Don't worry, Tribes knows what she's doing, she definitely won't kill Senasi."
He was forced to say a lot of nice things to Pei Hening.
"Pooh!"
Senasi had one of his teeth knocked out by Pei Hening, and now his mouth was full of blood. He spat out a mouthful of bloody water on the ground, and the knocked-out tooth was quite conspicuous.
He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes blazing with fury: "You asked for this!"
He turned the tables, clenched his fist, and attacked, aiming straight for Pei Hening's face.
Pei Hening was least afraid of this move. She grabbed Senasi's hand with her backhand, kicked him hard, and released his hand at the same time—the man was kicked seven or eight meters away.
Seeing this, Barton stopped struggling. Her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Ben: "Is this what you call having a sense of propriety?"
Ben was stunned. He hadn't known this guy was so good at fighting. He gave an awkward smile and said, "He's not dead, is he?"
Pei Hening walked to Senasi's side, stepped on his neck, and asked, "You're the one who murdered... Ben. What's your sister's name?"
Ben immediately exclaimed, "Evangeline Irving!"
"Are you the murderer of Evangeline Irving?"
'Sennasi' wore a tattered human skin mask, his smile twisted. He struggled to pull a dagger coated with a strange blue substance from his leather belt, preparing to stab Pei Hening in the leg.
At the critical moment, Pei Hening stomped hard on his wrist, "Crack—Clang—"
His wrist was broken, and the blue dagger fell to the ground.
"say!"
Ben gripped Barton's hands tightly and pulled him toward her: "Get it out of me... damn it! What the hell! You scared me to death!"
