Hell's Handbook

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

The skinny old man was like a chimpanzee. He looked old and wrinkly, but he was exceptionally nimble in movement. As he swung his arm, his nails grew longer and looked like knives coming toward Situ Jin’s head.

“Now!” Situ Jin slammed a hand on his Handbook and a bright white light covered his entire body.

Bam! Crack! The sound of a collision and something breaking occurred at the same time. The white light was a defense item that had only held up for one second, but that was enough time for Situ Jin to escape into yet another shadow.

“Haha! What a playful fellow you are! But… how much more Spirit Power could you possibly have? You’ve been doing this for a long time now. I think you must be running out soon!” The skinny old man seemed to be enjoying this hunting process. He wasn’t in any hurry and even hoped that Situ Jin could hold up for a bit longer.

Meanwhile, Situ Jin fell from a shadow inside an empty room. His sleeve was stained with blood. He had escaped pretty quickly from the old man’s attack, but had failed to get away completely unscathed. His shoulder was still injured in the process.

“Damn it! Why did we end up running into an owner like that?” Situ Jin clenched his teeth. He had to find a way to distract the old man and move the battle elsewhere. Then only would his colleagues be able to leave safely.

He placed a hand on the handgun hanging from his belt. This wasn’t a weapon he had exchanged points for from the Handbook’s catalog. He had used the Department of Supernatural Affairs’ authority to get the military to custom make this gun for him.

This gun wasn’t capable of anything special, except that it was a very high powered one. The bullets themselves were able to fire at extremely high speeds and could also spin at rapid rates, plus the gun also had a special firing mechanism. Once hit by a bullet, even someone like Su Jin would be injured.

Actually, Situ Jin had made this gun to deal with Su Jin. Or rather, it was for Su Jin, Kano Mai, Xu Ran, and any other people Situ Jin knew were also owners. But because he was in the same team with Su Jin and Kano Mai, he really didn’t want to use this weapon on them, as long as they never crossed the line.

Even so, Situ Jin continued to use his department’s resources to not only think of new ways to deal with these owners, but to also find out more about what owners were capable of. The owners he kept closest tabs on were none other than Su Jin and Xu Ran.

He knew what these two were capable of, especially Su Jin, since they were in the same team. After going through a few Challenges with Su Jin, he was very familiar with how formidable Su Jin was.

One had a physical body as powerful as a god’s, while the other had an extremely high level of psychokinesis. If both of them joined hands, they would be a terrifying force that could destroy even the most fortified of cities within a short time. To prevent such a thing from happening, Situ Jin needed to be prepared in advance.

Situ Jin had made this gun based on how impenetrable Su Jin’s body was. This gun was able to not just penetrate the skin but was also laced with certain drugs. He hoped that even if it couldn’t kill Su Jin with one shot, it would be able to injure him significantly.

Unfortunately, this gun was still being tested and Situ Jin wasn’t too happy with its capabilities yet. If his opponent right now was Su Jin, this gun wouldn’t be of much use. And if he found out that Su Jin’s body had become even more formidable than before after getting his own heart back, he would probably just abandon the idea altogether.

But the gun was still an extremely powerful weapon nonetheless. Perhaps it could help him to kill this skinny old man.

Situ Jin had almost run out of Spirit Power and he couldn’t even do a quick run into the shadows now. If he couldn’t defeat this old man with one hit, he was definitely going to end up dead instead.

He put on a special pair of goggles that were issued only to special troops. These goggles could use heat to detect the enemy. But the one that Situ Jin had was an upgraded version. It had been specially modified such that it could not only detect exactly where the enemy was, but it could also analyze the enemy’s speed and vital signs.

Several objects with a much higher temperature than their surroundings appeared on his goggles. That was where his colleagues were at. And the old man was slowly approaching them.

His heart palpitated when he saw this. He had to launch an attack soon. If his colleagues were to be discovered by the old man, he wouldn’t be able to save them.

His palm was covered in sweat even as he gripped the gun tightly. There was only one bullet in this gun, so he didn’t have a second chance. Whether they lived or died… depended on this shot.

As he waited, he adjusted his breathing such that it was at the same rate as his heart. The sound of his breathing was now merged with the sound of his heart beating. That was very important for any marksmen to do well, because any sound or movement could affect one’s performance.

Once the two had merged into one, he had one less possible distraction, which would help him to aim more accurately.

Just then, the old man turned the corner. Situ Jin was sure that the old man had spotted his colleagues, and this was the moment he was waiting for because the old man would be distracted for a moment by the discovery of new prey.

Bang! The special bullet flew out from the gun and began spinning. The mechanism inside the bullet fell off immediately after it had enabled the bullet to spin to give sufficient momentum while not weighing the bullet down with unnecessary weight.

Situ Jin smiled. He knew he had made it. This bullet was going to go right through that old man’s chest and the whole thing would be over.

Just then, the old man suddenly turned toward Situ Jin. His facial features looked like they had merely been drawn on.

“Crap!” Situ Jin’s smile turned to a look of despair. That wasn’t the old man at all. That was just a puppet controlled by the old man.

Bang! The bullet went through the puppet’s body and caused its chest to explode. Any remaining hope that Situ Jin had exploded along with it.

“Trying to launch a secret attack on an old man like me? You’re not very kind to the elderly, huh!” The skinny old man appeared behind Situ Jin again. This man was like a ghost or something and Situ Jin simply couldn’t track his movement at all. Every time his position was exposed, the old man would find him immediately.

“Die!” Situ Jin’s eyes turned bloodshot as he spun around and wrapped his arms tightly around the old man. He didn’t know what else to do. He was probably going to die at this rate, but at least he would be able to save his colleagues.

“Fall into the darkness with me!” There was a crazed look in Situ Jin’s eyes as he used the last bit of Spirit Power he had left and barely managed to open the way into a shadow. His plan was simple. He was going to drag the old man into the shadow with him and because he had run out of Spirit Power, there was no way for him to open a way out after that. All he wanted was to trap the old man inside the shadow. That way, even if he died, he would be the only casualty.

“You fool! I can’t believe you still think you have the ability to hurt me!” said the old man with a sneer. His feet seemed to be planted in the ground and Situ Jin couldn’t move him at all.

The old man put one fingertip on Situ Jin’s back and his fast growing nails pierced through Situ Jin and went straight into the ground. Situ Jin could feel that one of his lungs had been punctured and the pain made him shiver all over.

Pfft! Situ Jin spewed a mouthful of blood out and his eyes bulged as he did everything he could to exert more strength. Even if he had to die, he was determined to pull the old man into the shadow. He had never wished so hard for strength before. He just wanted pure strength. Enough strength to get the old man into the shadow.

“As I said, you’re too dumb!” The old man sneered again as he raised a finger once more. He cackled and said, “This time, I’m going to stab it right through your heart!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Let go of Mr. Situ!” Just then, the sound of gunshots resounded as the previously unconscious Bo Ya regained consciousness and fired three shots at the old man. All of them hit the old man and were aimed at vital areas.

She shot him in the heart, the back of his head and the back of his neck. If the old man were an ordinary human, any one of those shots would have killed him. But he wasn’t an ordinary human. The only thing that the three bullets did was to cause him a little bit of pain.

“Birds of a feather flock together – the friend of a fool is equally stupid!” The old man suddenly turned his head 180 degrees as though he were an owl and stared at Bo Ya.

Bo Ya was clearly terrified by how this man didn’t seem human, but her years of training enabled her to keep shooting until she ran out of bullets.

“Run! RUNN!!!” Situ Jin yelled hoarsely as he continued to hang onto the old man.

But the old man ignored Situ Jin. He turned his arm the other way and pointed a finger at Bo Ya, shooting a long nail toward her.

“Eck!” Bo Ya made a strangled sound as she stared down at her chest in disbelief. That nail had pierced right through her heart.

“No… NOOO!” Situ Jin’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in horror. He let go of the old man and ran toward Bo Ya like he had gone mad, catching her as she fell to the ground.

“You’re going to be okay, you’re going to be okay…” muttered Situ Jin frantically as he pressed a hand over her wound. But as he pressed the front of her wound, blood gushed out from the back of the wound. At the same time, her pupils were already dilated and her body was convulsing slightly.

Her heart had been pierced and was falling apart inside her chest cavity. She died almost instantly.

“Young man, there’s nothing to be sad about. She didn’t suffer much and died in an instant,” said the old man with a chuckle when he saw how Situ Jin had lost it. “Besides, you’re going to join her soon. You don’t have to cry so miserably.”

But Situ Jin couldn’t hear a single thing the old man was saying. The emotional pain he felt had overcome any rationality he had. The old man was rather annoyed by this and felt that this whole situation wasn’t fun anymore.

“Well, since I’m not having any fun with you, I’ll send you to meet your maker!” The old man pointed a finger at Situ Jin and sent a fingernail shooting toward Situ Jin’s heart.

Strangely enough, the fingernail stopped just one centimeter away from Situ Jin’s back and remained that way without moving.

“Huh?!” The old man was shocked for a second before looking around in horror.

“How dare you hurt my friend! Time for YOU to meet your maker, old man!” Two figures fell from the sky, as though they were deities descending from heaven.

The skinny old man was like a chimpanzee. He looked old and wrinkly, but he was exceptionally nimble in movement. As he swung his arm, his nails grew longer and looked like knives coming toward Situ Jin’s head.
