135: lend a helping hand

Li Qingshan was the first enemy Gu Qinghan killed personally, so Gu Qinghan had a deep impression of the scene at that time.

At that time, Li Qingshan's muscles were bulging all over, completely unlike a normal person.

And the woman they encountered at this moment was enveloped in a layer of black-red blood aura, and her body was also abnormally swollen.

However, unlike Li Qingshan, some parts of her muscles were bulging, while others were extremely shriveled.

If he had to describe it, Gu Qinghan felt that Li Qingshan was like a finished product.

And this woman was a failed product.

The woman was constantly biting the child, while letting out a muffled roar:

"It's all you... If it weren't for you, this burden... your dad wouldn't have died!"

The child had already stopped breathing, his face filled with deep shock and fear.

Clearly, this was a mother and child.

The captain of Gu Qinghan's team was Yang Tianci, and he directly threw out several glowing talismans towards the woman.

Gu Qinghan was slightly startled; Yang Tianci, like Zhao Mengling whom he had encountered before, was also a talisman Master by profession.

The glowing talismans, upon contact with the opponent, suddenly transformed into several beams of light that wrapped around her.

At the same time, the other team members also launched their attacks, striking hard at the woman on the ground.

The woman immediately reacted, dodging to the side at a twisted angle, then pounced on one of the team members with lightning speed.

However, He Jianan directly raised a shield, and an illusory shield phantom also appeared in front of him, knocking the woman back several steps.

He grinned, then cursed:

"Stronger than last time, damn it, what the heck is this thing?"

Yang Tianci didn't speak, he just threw out a few more talismans, confining the constantly moving woman within a certain range.

At the same time, he loudly shouted to the surroundings:

"Stop watching the show, get out of here!"

The surrounding Professionals scattered far away upon hearing him, but they didn't completely leave the area.

They watched the spectacle from a distance, seemingly without much surprise, only a sense of numbness and lament.

Gu Qinghan was observing the expressions of these people when Kong Yan suddenly patted his shoulder and asked:

"Brother, aren't you going up?"

"I'm assessing the situation. They clearly have coordination, and I'm afraid I might be counterproductive if I join in."

Gu Qinghan said frankly, watching the crowd collectively Siege the woman from the side.

In less than two minutes, the woman was kneeling on the ground, bleeding all over, still mumbling something.

Yang Tianci glanced at her, a look of helplessness in his eyes, and was about to have someone tie her up.

But the next moment, the woman, who had seemed to have no combat ability, sprang up from the ground.

She didn't use any skills; she just charged at Yang Tianci with pure physical strength, the black-red blood aura on her body surging like flames.

He Jianan had been watching closely. He snorted coldly and threw an illusory shield phantom towards Yang Tianci.

But what he didn't expect was that the moment the shield phantom appeared, it seemed to be interfered with by something and instantly disintegrated.

Yang Tianci was also stunned. He tried to dodge to the side, but he simply wasn't as fast as the woman.

talisman Masters are primarily ranged attackers and support Professionals; once engaged in close combat, they have almost no means of defense.

"Captain!"

Several team members also rushed towards that side, not daring to use their skills for fear of accidentally hitting Yang Tianci.

But they had originally formed a encirclement, and at this moment, they couldn't make it in time to provide support.

At the critical moment, a black shadow appeared in front of Yang Tianci, knocking him aside.

At the same time, this black shadow swiped a claw at the charging woman, raising several visible wind blades.

"Ah!"

The woman let out an inhuman cry of pain, one arm was directly severed, and then she was heavily slammed to the side.

The others, arriving a moment later, immediately surrounded the woman, unleashing their skills upon her.

In just a few seconds, the woman was reduced to a bloody mess, utterly dead.

"You're good, kid!"

He Jianan walked directly to Gu Qinghan's side, patted his shoulder, and said.

Gu Qinghan smiled; it was, of course, Little Black who had intervened just now.

However, he only helped Yang Tianci out of a bind, but did not participate in killing the woman, precisely because he was afraid of being entangled by the so-called impure souls.

Although He Jianan had said that he would most likely be able to stay in the team, Gu Qinghan felt that appropriately demonstrating his abilities would make it easier to stay.

A few minutes later, several Professionals who had rushed over upon hearing the news began to clean up the battlefield, and Yang Tianci led everyone to continue forward.

Little Black had already been put away by Gu Qinghan again, but Gu Qinghan's timing and strength in intervening had already earned the recognition of the group.

Meanwhile, Kong Yan looked at everyone with a somewhat pained expression. He could clearly feel that, because he hadn't taken action just now, his standing within the team had fallen significantly behind Gu Qinghan.

Fortunately, along the next stretch of road, he decisively stopped two Professionals who were fighting.

His method of handling it was to beat both of them to the ground.

"You two shake hands and let bygones be bygones."

Kong Yan nonchalantly brought the hands of the two Professionals, who had been beaten to a pulp, together, and nodded with satisfaction as he watched them make expressions uglier than crying.

The entire team was somewhat silent due to this guy's actions, but it wasn't out of line; after all, he maintained order.

In times like these, might makes right, and there's no use in disagreeing.

He Jianan was clearly even more of a chatterbox than Kong Yan. He said to Yang Tianci, who was beside him:

"Captain, how come I feel like both of these newcomers are a bit strong?"

Yang Tianci nodded in deep agreement, then softly said:

"It's good if they're strong. If they're strong, everyone won't have to worry so much."

The other team members also nodded silently, following the captain without a word as they patrolled the residential area.

It wasn't until noon that they got a two-hour shift break.

To Gu Qinghan's surprise, their Patrol Team was actually able to eat extra meals in a converted cafeteria.

Although it was just the most ordinary communal meal, at a time like this, it was something many people longed for.

Seeing Gu Qinghan's somewhat surprised expression, Yang Tianci smiled and said:

"Eat. As you've seen, we, as the Patrol Team, often encounter danger, so naturally, we have some special treatment."

Gu Qinghan nodded, looking at the others who were already devouring their food, and couldn't help but find it a little amusing.

However, taking this opportunity, Gu Qinghan was finally able to ask naturally:

"Captain, I saw how abnormal that woman was just now. What exactly was going on?

She didn't seem to use any Professional abilities, but why did it take our entire team to kill her?"
