"No, no, no... Quite the opposite. You guys do something else, Yu Tao... I'll handle the killing!"
"What?!" The other side replied incredulously to this statement.
"Of course, I won't just help you kill Yu Tao for free! Actually, my target is Yu Tao's son—Yu Yuan! I'll help you kill Yu Tao as a favor, and all I need from you is to help me with a few things later on."
Jia Yan's response was full of dominance, as if saying: I just need a few lackeys to assist me, I'll take care of everything else, you just need to lend me a hand!
While the other party hesitated, Jia Yan accelerated and vigorously struck the keyboard with his body.
This time, he sent a message before the other party could think of what to say!
"First, let me ask you something, do you have any virus or poison in your possession, like... CHr-379 or something similar?"
The two people, still deliberating, were almost about to collapse in their chairs upon seeing this message!
The opponent was too formidable, knowing even this detail, indicating that their side's every piece of information was practically an open book to him!
The young man with glasses was sweating coldly, typing a reply on the computer instead of the stubbly-bearded man: "You already know about our possession of CHr-379, and yet you ask such questions... We currently have a newly developed variant of CHr-379, a virus type poison concocted by the organization. It can kill while making it seem like the victim is infected with an unknown arthropod-borne virus, making it difficult to detect as a homicide!"
An arthropod-borne virus? Jia Yan, on his computer, fell into thought.
He had heard about CHr-379 from the eavesdropping in the van. Just from the name and the tone of the killer's speech, he could sense it was some kind of virus or poison.
Asking deliberately now was not only to extract information about this poison but also to further intimidate the two killers!
"I know even such minute details, showing the vast difference in our knowledge. Do you dare to resist or scheme against me?" This series of dialogues from Jia Yan wasn't fake!
Help them kill Yu Tao, and then they provide a little help in return.
Of course, this 'little help,' perhaps in the eyes of the two killers, was indeed very small, perhaps as insignificant as just needing two lackeys to do their dirty work.
But for Jia Yan, who was just a tiny 'mosquito,' this 'little help' was an unimaginably huge assistance! With his current body, there were too many things he couldn't do without their help. Without their assistance, Jia Yan's only option was to risk his life to obtain potent viruses from certain hospitals and then infect Yu Yuan! But this method not only risked Jia Yan's life but also made Yu Yuan's death too easy. Dying from a virus infection would be much more agonizing than Jia Yan's death. Jia Yan couldn't bear Yu Yuan dying so easily!
So, he came up with his current plan!
Have the killers provide him with a poison that's safe for mosquitoes, then help them kill Yu Tao! Afterwards, let these two help him deal with Yu Yuan!
Regardless, Yu Tao not only condoned his son's criminal acts but also claimed his own death as an accident, suggesting he probably wasn't a good person in general. Consider it as removing a scourge for the public good!
Killing Yu Tao wasn't just about gaining the trust of the two killers but also about taking another step after Ding Limeng's broken engagement, letting Yu Yuan experience the nightmare of living in hell!
And then, it would be time for his personal revenge!
To accomplish all this, the assistance of the two killers was absolutely indispensable!
The prerequisite for all this was finding something suitable in terms of viruses.
So Jia Yan first asked about CHr-379, which he overheard in the van. If it was suitable, he'd use it, but if it also harmed mosquitoes, it would definitely be abandoned.
Later, he would ask the two killers if they had any viruses that only harmed humans!
He could make up any excuse, like protecting the ecosystem, the environment, or some stray dog that picked up scraps from the ground.
Whether or not the other side believed him, they had to help him get the virus!
Because they were already intimidated by Jia Yan and feared he might reveal their information to the Yu family, so no matter what Jia Yan said, they had no choice but to believe him and assist him wholeheartedly!
With the virus, the biggest problem was solved. What followed would be simple!
A tiny mosquito carrying a potent virus.
Especially since this mosquito possessed human intelligence and had a physique far beyond what ordinary mosquitoes could have.
Jia Yan didn't believe that in this state, he wouldn't find an opportunity to kill the father and son of the Yu family!
And all these thoughts were already planned out by Jia Yan on his way to Gesan District to save his little sister!
Of course, implementation had many, many steps!
Finding a suitable computer, adding them on QQ, any mistake in these steps could ruin everything!
Next was intimidation, something Jia Yan was most confident in. He had too much information about the two killers!
Of course, most of the steps were already completed, now it was all about the poison!
Upon hearing the killers admit to the existence of CHr-379, Jia Yan immediately sent a message: "Send me the specific information about this virus!"
The information the killers replied with made Jia Yan rejoice!
"Hello, the CHr-379 we have is specially developed by the organization for targeting victims. It's a 'nuclear polyhedrosis virus.' Its original form is an insect virus, one that only affects insects. The CHr-379 extract is derived from locust virus, which has been modified to inflict lethal harm on humans, and the cause of death can't be precisely identified by current medicine. It can only be detected as an infection from an arthropod-borne virus, making it impossible to determine it was caused by an assassin."
A nuclear polyhedrosis virus?!
A virus that only affects locusts?!
After reading the message, Jia Yan immediately went online and searched for information on 'nuclear polyhedrosis virus,' and sure enough, there was information available!
After a quick browse, he switched back to the chat interface and cautiously typed out a line.
"Will this CHr-379 harm other species besides humans and locusts?"
"We haven't done too many sample studies, but the organization has researched several dozen common insects and mammals. It was found that CHr-379 doesn't harm them. So, it can be concluded that this variant of the virus is harmless to species other than humans and locusts!"
"Very well, then around nine o'clock later, you'll bring a small bottle to the location I specify and leave it there with the cap open. Don't ask why!"
Jia Yan gave a direct order!
Then, he sent them the address of the unfinished building...
As for how to kill Yu Tao next and what he wanted these two killers to do, Jia Yan didn't say!
Because by then... it was already
dawn!
If the owner, Fan Haofei, woke up and saw the game closed on his computer, replaced by a bunch of messy software and an open QQ chat with someone about killers, he would be frightened to the point of passing out!
So, Jia Yan just hastily discussed these matters with them and then closed QQ and other programs before leaving.
Afterwards, he took a bus to the place where he had once died.
Next, the two killers driving the van also arrived.
The exchange of items was completed!
...
Jia Yan watched as the killers' van gradually disappeared...
He flew back into the room.
Looking at the small bottle of liquid on the ground, a glint of determination flickered in Jia Yan's compound eyes!
This small bottle of liquid would be his most powerful tool now!
He believed the two killers wouldn't deceive him. After all, they wouldn't even think that the user communicating with them on the computer was actually a mosquito who would swallow the liquid and then inject others.
So tampering with the liquid wouldn't help. Even if it were turned into poison, the one threatening the two of them would never inject themselves. That would be foolish!
"But... I still can't completely trust them..."
There was a coldness in Jia Yan's eyes, perhaps the innate trait of a cold-blooded creature was already influencing his mind.
Jia Yan flew up from the room!
His gaze swept around.
There were many bushes near the unfinished building, and insects were flying around everywhere.
Soon, Jia Yan's eyes grew colder as he spotted his target—a Chinese mosquito just like himself!
Of course, compared to the current Jia Yan, this Chinese mosquito was a mere dwarf, not even comparable to the length of one of his legs.
Jia Yan flew over and, before the other party could react, swiftly grasped the Chinese mosquito with both of his long legs in lightning speed!
This mosquito was a male and had never expected that a giant of his own species would attack him. It struggled frantically in fear!
But how could its strength compare to Jia Yan, who was not only gigantic but also mutated?
In no time, Jia Yan flew back with this mosquito, which was completely stuffed into the mouth of the bottle!
