The black-clad figure approached, getting closer and closer. Felix clenched his palm into an ax-like shape, silently counting in his mind, three, two, one.
Just as he was about to leap out from behind the pillar and launch a sudden attack on the black-clad person.
Unexpectedly, at that moment.
"Bang!" A sound rang out, and the black-clad figure inexplicably fell to the ground.
Felix was stunned. Did someone else make a move beforehand?
Could it be one of his own people? Unlikely, they shouldn't have arrived so quickly. Or maybe Wu Hao had already come back? Also highly unlikely, truly strange. Could it be that he happened to encounter infighting between the black-clad individuals? Hurting each other? It couldn't be that coincidental, right? He hesitated whether to reveal himself from behind the pillar, worried about exposing himself.
At that moment, familiar footsteps sounded.
Felix was astonished to see that it was!
Just as he stood up, Vicki had already appeared in front of him.
Felix was taken aback. If it weren't for wearing a mask, his excited expression would surely be visible. Even so, his enchanting eyes arched upwards, shimmering continuously. It was Vicki!! Vicki had taken down the black-clad person.
He had intended to call out her name, but then thought again, he was wearing a mask and didn't know if Vicki would be willing to go with him. In case she refused, he would have to knock her unconscious and take her away when she wasn't paying attention.
He remained silent.
Unexpectedly, a voice shouted from nearby, "Who? Who's there?"
Felix was startled and quickly dragged the fallen black-clad person behind the pillar. He moved swiftly, even he himself couldn't believe it. He didn't want to involve Vicki if he exposed himself.
The corridor was too dark, with very low visibility, almost impossible to see.
The other black-clad person only vaguely saw a figure at the end, as if someone had flashed by.
The black-clad person approached step by step, shining a flashlight inside, but didn't see anything unusual.
At that moment, another black-clad person called out to him from behind, "Let's go, what are you doing? Hurry up and pack up together."
The approaching black-clad person stopped in front of the pillar before taking a step.
Then he turned around. "Strange, I clearly heard some movement."
"Here they come." The black-clad person quickly returned to where he had come from, leaving with the person who had arrived later.
Felix breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the black-clad person didn't come any closer. Otherwise, he would have seen both him and Vicki hiding behind the pillar, with a person lying on the ground. The situation would have been even worse.
Felix squatted down and struck the fallen black-clad person's neck with force, delivering a final blow to ensure that the person wouldn't wake up for a short time. Then he stood up.
