Chapter 453 Not necessarily blind
A few days ago, Su Ming stumbled upon some intelligence about the man in black. He wasn't a typical assassin, but rather someone accustomed to defeating his opponents through psychological tactics and subtle judgment. This man preferred to use threats, confusion, and deduction to corner his opponents, even forcing them to completely control them by the time they realized they were in the right place. His advantage lay not in strength, but in ingenuity.
And now, Su Ming had grasped this enemy's weakness. He knew that the black-clad man's overconfidence was his fatal flaw. If he could break through the enemy's psychological defenses at this moment, the situation could change instantly.
But to do this, you must remain calm, observe every movement and expression of the enemy, and find the slightest gap to break through.
"What exactly do you want?" Su Ming asked, his voice low and powerful. There was no anger or anxiety, only calmness and analysis.
The man in black was stunned for a moment, seemingly unprepared for Su Ming's direct question. But he quickly regained his superior demeanor. "I don't want you," he said with a stern look in his eyes. "I'm just here to clean up the mess."
Cleaning up the mess? Su Ming's heart trembled. What did this mean? He thought of the force behind everything. If this man in black wasn't just carrying out the mission, then the power behind him was undoubtedly even more powerful. Perhaps it was that power that made him the true protagonist of this situation.
"When you say 'clearing the house,' it's better to say 'removing obstacles.'" Su Ming smiled slightly, his tone becoming playful. "I'm curious how those people behind you define the word 'obstacle'."
The man in black frowned slightly, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes. Su Ming's words obviously touched something deep in his heart, but he did not show it immediately, instead suppressing his emotions.
"I don't want to waste any more time." The man in black whispered, "You still have to die."
The moment he spoke, he had already made a silent move, and the barrel of the gun in his hand was almost instantly aimed at Su Ming's chest.
However, at that moment, Su Ming was no longer the calm bystander he had been before. His reaction was even faster than the man in black. Almost immediately, he had already drawn his gun, ready to suppress the man's attack as quickly as possible.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed at Su Ming's chest, and the air seemed to freeze in the momentary tension. His heartbeat accelerated violently, but his eyes remained calm, without a trace of panic. Although the man in black before him seemed confident, Su Ming knew that he was not completely without a chance of fighting back.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, the air vibrating, and the muzzle of the black-clad man's gun twitched violently, the bullet grazed Su Ming's shoulder, and hit the wall nearby. At that moment, Su Ming's body tilted slightly, and he quickly jumped back under the cover of the wall, dodging the fatal shot.
"You're moving pretty fast." The man in black's voice was low, but with a helpless smile, "But if you want to hide from me, you're still a long way off."
Su Ming didn't respond. His eyes had begun to change, a cold glint flashing across them. The enemy clearly had ill intentions, and they were the type prepared with all their might. Su Ming wouldn't be able to easily defeat them with strength and skill alone. Furthermore, the man in black was clearly skilled in scheming and psychological warfare. Only by disrupting his opponent's rhythm could he reverse the situation.
He scanned his surroundings, instantly analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of his surroundings. The narrow alleyway made any quick evasion difficult. His only advantage was temporarily staying in a sheltered area. But that wasn't a long-term solution.
At this moment, Zheng Yaoxian's voice quietly reached his ears: "There is someone at the back door." The words were as cold as a cold wind, with almost no emotional fluctuations, as if it was just an ordinary reminder.
"What?" Su Ming's heart trembled, and he quickly assessed the situation. The man in black was still staring at him, seemingly oblivious to Zheng Yaoxian's hint, still searching for his next move. But he couldn't ignore the implication of Zheng Yaoxian's words—someone was at the back door, meaning they were surrounded.
From his initial calm judgment to his current rapid thinking, every decision Su Ming made was designed to secure his chance of survival. He pursed his lips, calculating rapidly in his mind. With the presence of someone behind him, the situation was no longer a simple head-on confrontation. He had to reassess the situation, or he would sink deeper into the quagmire.
"You handle it here by yourself, I'll be back soon." Su Ming whispered to Zheng Yaoxian, his tone flat and calm, with almost no emotional fluctuations.
Zheng Yaoxian's eyes shifted slightly, but he quickly returned to his usual indifference. He said nothing, simply nodding. In that instant, Su Ming understood that Zheng Yaoxian didn't want to give anyone too many chances, nor did he intend to waste time. He didn't care about the outcome of the battle; he would rather accelerate the situation and find a real breakthrough.
Without further hesitation, Su Ming quickly turned toward the side alley, passing through a hidden iron gate and heading for the back door. The iron gate creaked shut, and silence returned to the back door. The dim streetlights not far from the door cast a shadowy image, casting an unreal light and shadow, as if it were the entrance to an abyss.
The humidity in the air was still oppressive, but at this moment, Su Ming's heart had begun to calm down. The appearance of the backdoor might be his only chance to escape this dangerous situation. However, the enemy's encirclement was clearly not that simple.
After walking a few steps, Su Ming's gaze swept around him. He faintly heard some unsettling sounds—several people whispering in the shadows, their presence almost palpable. Su Ming didn't pause, his steps steady, his face devoid of any nervousness. Understanding the enemy's psychology was one of his strongest areas. He understood that these people weren't true masters; they were simply relying on their numerical superiority, attempting to control the situation with overwhelming force.
"Backdoor reinforcements aren't necessarily blind," Su Ming silently analyzed. He knew he didn't have much time. If he didn't want to be completely surrounded by the enemy, he had to change the situation quickly.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from the left, and several dark figures emerged from the alleyway, rapidly approaching. They surrounded him in an instant, and even the air became tense, as if every nerve was reminding him that the enemy was approaching.
"Come out, we all know you're here." A deep voice came from one of them, with a hint of teasing, "If you don't want this to end early, you'd better put down your weapons."
