Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 258 - 253: My Right Eyelid Keeps Twitching

Chapter 258: Chapter 253: My Right Eyelid Keeps Twitching

The night market in Gunan County is bustling.

The storefronts on both sides of the road feature a variety of businesses, including restaurants, fruit shops, jewelry stores, and clothing shops. Walking around just one street, you can buy a lot of trinkets.

Ye Tong was initially quite worried about her safety, but seeing the beautiful decorations and trinkets in various shops, she turned into one of the crowd strolling the street.

Ji Ning stood not far from her, eating fried stinky tofu, silently watching people circle around her several times.

The four originally thought it was a good opportunity, but for some reason, they felt uneasy in their hearts.

It was as if a pair of eyes was constantly staring at them, making them afraid to make a move.

"This is really spooky; my right eyelid keeps twitching." The superpower user, who was smoking, glanced at his brother who was grilling skewers next to him.

The skewer brother rolled his eyes at him. Everything about this brother was good, except that he was very superstitious.

Before each mission, he had to offer some prayers, saying that he had relatives who used to perform religious dances back home.

"Didn’t sleep well last night? Eyelid twitching is caused by eyelid nerve spasm."

"No... I just always feel like someone is watching us." The smoking superpower user had always been confident in his intuition, taking a couple of agitated puffs before stubbing out his cigarette.

"I’ll go talk to the boss."

Just as he was about to leave, the skewer brother grabbed his arm, "Are you looking to get yourself killed? Do you believe the boss will cut your eyelids off?"

At this moment, the skewer brother truly wanted to open up his brother’s head to see if what’s inside grows differently from his?

To suggest giving up a mission over a twitching eyelid?

No one could come up with such a thing unless they’ve had a mental illness for ten years.

"Shut up from now on! If you say one more word, don’t blame me for being rough!"

The skewer brother tossed the wooden skewer in his hand heavily on the ground.

They thought their voices were low, but every word reached Ji Ning’s ears.

Ji Ning glanced at the superpower user who didn’t dare to speak after being reprimanded, her eyes flashed slightly.

This person is interesting.

On the other side.

Ye Tong, satisfied after bargaining, walked out of the shop wearing a new pair of earrings.

Her face beamed with a bright smile, "Sister Ning, do they look good?"

Ji Ning nodded slightly.

"I also bought a pair for you and Tangtang. Look..." Ye Tong happily showed Ji Ning the new earrings she bought.

When the two were three steps apart, suddenly a figure darted between them, trying to snatch Ye Tong’s phone.

Ye Tong reflexively stepped back half a step and was just about to use the move Ji Ning taught her to subdue the robber when her arm suddenly stiffened.

She looked at Ji Ning with a shocked expression, seeing her shake her head slightly, realizing that those after her had arrived.

She no longer resisted, letting her phone be snatched away.

After regaining her freedom, she started to chase, shouting as she ran, "Help! Someone stole a phone—"

Ji Ning followed her in pursuit.

The lively night market had many shoppers, but few were truly nosy.

Only a few responded to Ye Tong’s call for help, attempting to catch the thief.

Ji Ning had been running behind Ye Tong, but a superpower user soon deliberately collided in front of her, blocking her path.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry... Are you alright?"

Ji Ning pushed him, "Get out of the way!"

The superpower user was pushed back a step, the place where he was pushed faintly aching.

Damn, she’s got some strength!

Seeing Ji Ning almost run away, he gritted his teeth and moved forward to grab her arm, "Why did you push me?"

Ji Ning dodged nimbly and continued to run, the superpower user chasing closely behind, "Don’t leave! Let’s sort this out! I already apologized, why did you push me? You owe me an apology!"

With this superpower user’s pestering, Ji Ning’s pace in tracking slowed significantly, quickly losing ground on Ye Tong.

The superpower user who stole Ye Tong’s phone was very familiar with the area, leading her and the good Samaritans to a sparsely populated place with no cameras after winding through several turns.

Gradually, the good Samaritans’ stamina was exhausted, leaving only Ye Tong in the chase.

When Ye Tong saw these good Samaritans were far behind, she feigned exhaustion, putting her hands on her hips and slowing from a run to a walk.

"Give... my phone... back..."

Ye Tong watched the person ahead suddenly stop and turn towards her. She quickly heightened her guard but didn’t expect to feel pain at the back of her neck; her vision went black, and she soon lost consciousness.

"Boss, this girl’s stamina is good; she kept up till now!" The superpower user who stole the phone panted slightly, looking at the man behind Ye Tong.

The man seemed very ordinary, the aura around him deliberately concealed, so much so that the superpower user who stole the phone hadn’t realized his presence until now.

"Take her, let’s go!" The man glanced at Ye Tong who was fainted on the ground, then looked behind him, frowning slightly.

Something about this mission felt a bit too smooth for comfort.

The superpower user, still entangled with Ji Ning, heard the message "It’s done" in his ear, feeling joy surge through him as he took out his phone pretending to answer a call, while still cursing at Ji Ning, "If it weren’t for my wife calling me home, I’d definitely teach you a lesson."

Just then, Ji Ning halted her steps, turning towards the superpower user, "Oh? Seems you’ve already succeeded."

The man was taken aback; looking around, he found himself away from the crowd. Before he could react, pain shot through his abdomen, and he fell to the ground.

"Your brother might be superstitious, yet his intuition is quite sharp."

The man, in disbelief, looked up, his dark pupils rapidly dilating into emptiness.

"Are you with the Security Bureau?"

"Not quite."

Ji Ning, slightly surprised, continued to ask, "Which force are you with?"

"Hunter Alliance."

"What’s your connection with Gunan County’s Security Bureau?"

"The boss has dealings with an A-level detective in the security bureau."

"What kind of dealings?"

"Not sure."

After pondering for a moment, Ji Ning asked, "Why did you take Ye Tong?"

"She’s the only woman who escaped from Nanling. Nanling requires her to be taken back."

"Nanling? Who there?"

"The Black Snake Gang’s boss."

Ji Ning narrowed her eyes slightly.

The Black Snake Gang is one of the five A-level hunter teams in the Hunter Alliance, with a significant influence in Nanling.

Ye Tong was initially going to be sold to the boss of the Black Snake Gang.

They really don’t give up easily!

The warmth in Ji Ning’s eyes gradually faded.

She snapped her fingers in front of the man: "Forget."

The superpower user shivered, his dilated gaze suddenly clearing up, looking around in confusion, seeing the woman he had been holding back gazing icily at him. He remembered he was preparing to withdraw.

Grabbing his phone, he backed away, cursing as he walked, "What bad luck, such rotten luck."

Feeling Ji Ning wasn’t following, he sighed with relief and sprinted towards the rendezvous point.

Completely unaware that a "tail" was following him from behind.

After the four regrouped, they stuffed Ye Tong into a 26-inch suitcase, swaggering back to the night market street.
