I had thought it was Hall, but the person who pushed the door open was a security guard.
He was looking down, fishing a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and as he put one between his lips and was about to light it, he looked up to see the pitch-dark, terrifying corpse in the room, and the silent Chen Ke staring right at him.
The two locked gazes for a few seconds, thoughts racing through both their minds.
The cigarette fell to the ground, and the guard immediately reached for the gun on his belt.
However, Chen Ke wasn't about to give him the chance. He raised his hand and fired two shots into the guard's chest, the .45 ACP bullets tearing through his flesh, tumbling inside and creating a horrific cavity effect.
The guard clutched his chest, staggering backward as Chen Ke stepped forward and fired another round into his forehead, blowing off half of his skullcap.
