Chapter 132 - Ghost!
Chapter 132: 132: Ghost!
Then, he suddenly felt something behind him and slowly turned to his left. He noticed that his partner, who was smoking before this, remained frozen on the spot. This was the only thing that his partner could do.
His eyes widened when he saw this and he subconsciously turned around. Then, he saw a female ghost with her hair all over the place standing right in front of him.
The fighter was so scared that his eyes were about to fall out, and just when he was about to scream in fear, the other party touched his body with two of her fingers at an extremely fast speed.
After that, he felt as if his body had been sealed instantly; it was numb and stiff.
He wanted to scream, but he couldn’t.
He wanted to lie down on the ground, but he couldn’t.
It felt as if his body had become dysfunctional due to the shock and there was nothing that he could do, causing him to feel extremely helpless.
He was facing his other partners when this happened, which was why he saw what happened after that. He could clearly see how everyone froze on the spot as soon as this woman touched them.
Suddenly, an idea popped into the fighters mind—this was the Touch of Death!**
When they watched Martial Arts shows when they were younger, the masters on the show would do the same move. Didn’t they freeze their enemies by simply touching them at one point?!
But was there really such evil and lethal technique in this world?
There was another fighter who was leaning against their car as he lit up a cigarette. When he turned around, he saw the peculiar scene of all his partners being frozen on the spot.
He widened his eyes when he saw what was happening and his mouth opened to allow the smoke to escape.
The ‘female ghost’ with the mask on tilted her head while looking at him. Then, as he screamed and tried to reach for the dagger behind him, the hidden weapon behind the mask had already come out, flying with a strong ‘Qi.’
The long, thin needles broke the peaceful night, and before the other party could react, the needle had already pierced into his body and hit one of his central nerves. The needle penetrated the person’s back and landed in one of the bushes behind him.
Before the man could react, he was frozen on the spot, just like the rest of his partners.
“Hey, what are you looking at?”
There was another man who was getting something from inside the car. As he got out of the car, he saw the man who had just lit the cigarette staring at something, gently pushing his back.
However…
His partner fell straight onto the ground with a loud ‘BOOM.’
The rest of the fighters who were around the car finally realized that something was wrong.
At this point, there were already nine of them that were already being controlled.
For those who saw the others getting frozen, they thought that their partners were dead, but after being frozen themselves, they realized that they were still alive. The only thing that had happened to them was the loss of motion.
“We’re being attacked! We’re being attacked!”
The rest of the fighters that were still free decided to run. They also shouted at their transmitter, trying to inform those in the basement about what was happening on the surface.
The woman was able to restrain nine of their men without making much commotion. Anyone with brains would know that their skills were not compatible with the ‘female ghost’ that was standing in front of them. Other than running away and trying to get help, they had no other options left.
Fortunately, the four international Asian assassins in the basement were a level above them. They were hopeful that these assassins would be able to save them.
However, even after screaming for some time, there was no response from those in the basement.
At that moment, they realized that maybe it was possible that this ‘female ghost’ might have hacked into their signal receiver before this, which would explain why there was no response from the ones underground. Otherwise, it may be because the person standing in front of them was really a ghost and this was a paranormal activity.
**TL note: Touch of Death refers to a martial arts skill that consists of touching one at a vital acupuncture point causing them to be frozen on the spot; also known as Dim Mak.
