7: Chapter 7 Two lunatics fighting outside the window.
Su Yun had only just closed his eyes.
"Bang!" A muffled sound came from outside the window.
Immediately followed by the harsh, grating sound of metal colliding.
Su Yun snapped his eyes open, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
He rolled out of bed, walked to the window, and pulled back a corner of the curtain.
Then, he froze completely.
On the wall outside, two figures were locked in a fierce battle.
One was shrouded in a pitch-black hood, his face completely hidden in shadows, wielding a specialized revolver, each shot whistling as it tore through the air.
The other was wrapped in black shadows, moving like a ghost, with countless sharp, blade-like tentacles extending from her body, frantically slicing through everything around her.
Isn't that Old Su and that brat Su Qing?
"Dark Blade." The hooded man's voice was low and hoarse, as if squeezed from the depths of his throat.
"I didn't expect a rising star of The Watchers to engage in such petty, underhanded business."
"Heh." A cold laugh came from the shadows; the voice had been processed, making it impossible to tell its original tone.
"Night Owl, the legendary Monster Hunter, a legend who specializes in hunting Strange Tales and criminals."
"What's the matter today? Changed professions to become a thief?"
"Enough nonsense." Old Su raised his hand and fired a shot.
The bullet carved a silver trajectory through the air, heading straight for Dark Blade's head.
Su Qing flashed aside, her shadow instantly splitting into dozens. The bullet pierced through one of them, but only shattered an afterimage.
"You old thing, you're still so short-tempered." Su Qing's voice carried a mocking tone.
"Last time at the East District pier, you almost blasted my shadow into smithereens. Perfect, it's my turn for revenge!"
"That time, it was you, The Watchers, who were meddling in business that wasn't yours." Old Su snorted coldly.
"The target I was tracking was already locked on, but you insisted on interfering, talking about following legal procedures."
"And the result? That piece of trash escaped and caused the deaths of three more innocent people."
"That's because you're too impulsive!" Su Qing's tone also turned cold.
"The Watchers cooperate with the authorities to solve problems within the rules. What's the difference between your disregard for the law and a criminal's?"
"Rules?" Old Su sneered.
"When you watch innocent people die in front of you with your own eyes, while the murderer goes free due to lack of evidence, you'll know how ridiculous those rules are."
"That's still no excuse for you to carry out vigilante justice!"
Su Qing's shadow suddenly expanded, turning into dozens of spikes that stabbed at Night Owl from all directions.
Old Su ducked, firing three shots from his revolver in succession, precisely shattering three of the spikes, while simultaneously using the momentum to flip and land on a higher part of the wall.
"What are you doing here tonight?" Old Su pointed his revolver at Dark Blade.
"The people living in this building are all ordinary citizens. Since when did The Watchers start targeting ordinary people?"
"You're the one who is!" Su Qing's voice rose a few notches.
"I was tracking an escaped Strange Tales entity here, only to find you, old geezer, lurking suspiciously outside the window!"
"Tell me, have you set your sights on the child of this family?"
"Bullshit!" Old Su's tone turned dangerous.
"I came to clear out the Strange Tales, only to see you, little brat, sneaking over this way!"
"I think you're the one who wants to target this family!"
Both of their Auras instantly surged.
A ghostly blue light emanated from the muzzle of Old Su's revolver.
The shadows around Su Qing began to boil, their serrated edges spinning frantically.
Just at the moment when the two were about to clash again.
"Click." The window was pushed open.
Su Yun poked his head out, face expressionless, looking coldly at the two lunatics outside the window.
"In the middle of the night, are you two sick in the head?"
The air instantly froze.
Old Su and Su Qing both froze simultaneously.
Su Yun's tone was terrifyingly calm.
"I have an exam tomorrow, what's the meaning of you two fighting here?"
"Do you know you're disturbing the peace?"
"Did you pay the property management fees?"
"Who's going to pay if you scrape the wall paint off?"
A barrage of questions came crashing down.
Old Su and Su Qing exchanged a glance.
The situation was momentarily very awkward.
Old Su was the first to react.
He put away his revolver, his voice becoming low and threatening.
"Kid, it's best if you keep your mouth shut about things you shouldn't have seen."
"Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Su Yun interrupted him, his tone even colder.
"Are you going to kill me to silence me? Or threaten my whole family?"
"Come on then, do it."
"If you don't do it, you're my grandson!"
Old Su was stunned.
Xiao Yun... isn't afraid?
Shouldn't a normal person be screaming and calling the police after seeing a scene like this?
How does he dare to talk back?
"Pfft." Su Qing suddenly laughed out loud.
"Night Owl, your threatening skills are subpar."
"The kid isn't even afraid of you."
Old Su's face turned even darker.
Although he couldn't see it, Su Yun could feel him gritting his teeth.
He almost laughed out loud.
"Shut up."
"Why should I shut up?"
Su Qing's tone was clearly gloating.
"A dignified legendary Monster Hunter, unable to scare a high school student—how embarrassing would that be if it got out?"
Old Su took a deep breath.
He turned his head, staring at Su Yun.
"Kid, do you know that with this attitude when facing the strong, you'll die very quickly?"
"Oh." Su Yun was expressionless.
"Then go ahead and do it."
"I'm standing right here, hit me if you can."
Old Su's fists clenched, cracking audibly.
This kid... why is he so asking for a beating?
Why didn't I notice this before?
Should I take this opportunity to teach him a lesson and let him feel some fatherly love?
And also let this kid Su Yun understand that he can't have such an arrogant attitude when facing the strong?
Otherwise, he might die without even knowing why one day?
Thinking this, he was tempted.
Just at this moment.
"Hahahaha!" Dark Blade laughed uncontrollably.
"Night Owl, you've really fallen today."
"Being left speechless by a high school student—if this gets back to The Watchers headquarters, I'll be able to laugh about it for a year."
"You..." Old Su turned abruptly, pointing his gun at Dark Blade.
"Do you believe I'll blast you right now?"
"Come on then." Su Qing didn't back down at all.
"Anyway, you can't hit me."
The two were about to fight again.
The veins on Su Yun's forehead throbbed.
"Enough!" His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a certain oppressive feeling that made people's hearts tremble.
Old Su and Su Qing were both taken aback.
"You two, now, immediately, right this instant, get out of here."
Su Yun pointed into the distance.
"If you don't leave, I'm calling the police."
Old Su was silent for two seconds.
"Kid, you've got guts."
"I'll come and teach you properly another day."
After speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
Su Qing also withdrew her shadows.
"Little brother, big sister will remember you."
"Next time we meet, big sister will treat you to some candy."
As soon as she finished speaking, she also disappeared.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Su Wanqing, hidden behind the curtains, saw the Holy Light she had been condensing rapidly dissipate.
She looked toward Su Yun's room, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.
As expected of my son, Lin Wanqing's son, he's truly tough.
However.
It seems I need to send someone to warn these two death-seeking things.
Daring to come here and cause trouble!
Su Yun closed the window and drew the curtains.
He turned and went back to bed.
He was furious.
This is simply overturning the natural order!
This little girl actually called herself 'big sister'!
Su Yun decided that tomorrow, he must make her understand who is the older brother and who is the younger sister!
Thinking of this.
Su Yun lay down.
Closed his eyes.
Took a deep breath.
"My family..." he muttered to himself.
"Every single one of them is a lunatic."
