This Spiritual Energy is Lethal!-Chapter 132 - Phantom

Chapter 132 -132 Phantom

By the time Chen Ke arrived at Raffi Road District, it was already 9:30 pm.

The Holy Mother Angel Hotel might be Opportunity City’s most luxurious hotel. Although it only had one building, the whole hotel looked quite imposing from the outside, complete with a large fountain square.

The taxi drove down the tree-lined path and stopped in front of the fountain statue at the hotel square. Chen Ke got out of the car, looked up at the magnificent statue—a goddess riding a Pegasus, from whose mouth water comically spouted.

Standing in the square and looking down the hillside towards Raffi Road’s urban area, he could also see the bustling commercial street lights where Golden Arthur and Lester Clothing Store were located.

The target’s room number was 2232. According to the usual hotel room numbering rules, if it were a hotel with multiple buildings, the first ‘2’ would typically mean building number two, and the second ‘2’ would be the floor. But since the Holy Mother Angel Hotel only had one building, the first two digits indicated the floor level—meaning the target was in room 32 on the 22nd floor.

Chen Ke looked up; the building was lit with orange lights, making the hotel look like a pillar supporting heaven and earth under the night sky. There were not many rooms lit on the 22nd floor, and it was unclear which one was room number 32.

He did not plan to enter through the front door, as such a high-class hotel would not allow people to go upstairs without a reservation. Moreover, the lobby was brightly lit, and even if he wore a mutated suit, he could not trigger the Dark Concealment effect.

Speaking of which, the mutated effect of the suit was also a kind of meme infection. It seemed that Spiritual Energy infection was not just a simple matter of the literal meaning because it not only distorted the original appearance of things but also endowed a variety of memes. Perhaps, tonight’s target had mastered this method and was able to turn that phrase into a meme infection source, spreading it.

Chen Ke walked around to the back of the hotel, looking around. The back entrance had a food delivery entrance leading to the hotel’s kitchen, where several trucks were parked in the open space behind the hotel. At the door, a service staff member was smoking and chatting leisurely with a chef who had come out for fresh air.

He looked up, following the exposed drainpipe on the building’s exterior, noticing the sixth floor had an open window that seemed to lead to one of the guest rooms.

It looked like there were two ways to get in, but Chen Ke thought of a third method…

“Hey, fellas,” Chen Ke greeted as he walked up to them.

The chef and the service staff exchanged puzzled looks, not quite understanding what was happening.

“Could I borrow a lighter from you?” Chen Ke extended his hand.

The service staff nodded, took a cigarette in his mouth, and reached into his pocket for a lighter.

Suddenly, Chen Ke punched him sharply in the jaw. The service staff’s eyes went dark, his knees buckled, and he collapsed onto the ground.

Before the service staff even hit the ground, Chen Ke stepped forward, grabbed the chef’s chin with his right hand, and kicked behind his heel, pinning him down to the ground where his head smacked hard against the concrete.

In 2 seconds, both men were unconscious. Chen Ke hoisted them up and left them in the shadows, then stripped off the service staff’s uniform…

Two minutes later…

The uniformed Chen Ke hid his clothes and handgun under a small truck, taking only the Holy Relics diamond with him as he cautiously walked into the back kitchen.

The hotel kitchen was still bustling at 9 pm. The head chefs had already left, and only some assistant workers remained, preparing ingredients for the next day.

Chen Ke hurried by with his head down, worried that someone might suddenly greet him because even in the service staff’s outfit, he could still be recognized. After all, people working together often were very familiar with each other, and a new face in the team would definitely arouse suspicion.

Chen Ke had to keep an appropriate distance from his fellow service staff because they were likely to see through his disguise. However, he could possibly fool the management-level managers.

Each service staff member had a special master key that could open all the room doors, and Chen Ke also had one, saving him much trouble since he did not know how to pick locks.

He entered the elevator and went straight to the 22nd floor.

He had no extra time to waste, for the two guys who were unconscious wouldn’t give him much time, and with the temperature being somewhat low tonight, the one stripped of his clothes might come to from the cold halfway through.

He needed to speed up, to fight swiftly and decisively, and then quickly return to change back into his own clothes and evacuate.

“Ding!”

The elevator doors slowly opened, 22nd floor.

Chen Ke stepped out of the elevator, the dim yellow light in the corridor provided a comforting feeling, the floor was carpeted, making no sound as he walked, which was really great.

Chen Ke glanced at the room number on a door nearby: 2201.

This time, he was going to kill using a Holy Relic, specifically Laven’s green short sword…

As Chen Ke thought this, he searched for the room number while nostalgically missing Lin Mo’s Transcendent Skill from his memory sequence.

Had he possessed Lin Mo’s Skill right now, it would have been so much easier – he could have checked the movement inside the room proactively and located the target through the wall.

The Killing Aura Radar could only prevent sneak attacks but couldn’t be used proactively. Moreover, since he had obtained the soul vessel, no new Skills had appeared that he could use – could it be that he had reached the end of his development? If that was the case, it would be truly regrettable.

Standing in front of room 2232, Chen Ke pondered his strategy.

He could knock on the door since his current disguise was that of a waiter, and the target definitely wouldn’t recognize him. Once the target opened the door, he would swiftly use the short sword to mangle the target’s heart, then quickly evacuate.

Or he could use the key to open the door, barge in and stab frenziedly with the short sword, finishing off the target and then escape.

But given that this target wasn’t ordinary, Chen Ke didn’t feel that making contact was a good idea. An ambush was a minor concern, but what if the target had stronger Transcendent methods?

His only bet was that the target thought he was safe and would be careless. After all, the meme had spread outside, and anyone looking for him should have been led to Ande’s Affordable Inn by the meme; no one would come here to look for him.

Chen Ke exhaled, grasped the doorknob, and drew out the key, attempting to insert it.

“Are you sure you really want to do that?” A man’s voice came from behind, accompanied by a hand resting on his shoulder.

Chen Ke startled, turned around, and saw a man dressed very meticulously. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes and an authoritative tone in his voice.

“I didn’t call for a waiter. What are you doing in my room?” the man asked with a frown.

Chen Ke didn’t speak but took a step back. This guy was the man from the photo, not handsome, but he looked respectable due to his tasteful attire.

The man had approached Chen Ke from behind without any killing intent, and since Chen Ke had been deep in thought, he hadn’t noticed.

“If you can’t give me a reasonable explanation, then I can only assume you’re here to steal something,” said the man with a smile.

Chen Ke snorted coldly, lifted his head to stare directly into the man’s eyes, his right hand glowing with a blue light.

“Oh?” The man’s face froze, and the next second, Chen Ke’s green short sword deeply pierced his throat.

“What!?” The sword had gone through the man’s body, but Chen Ke was shocked.

Because the man in front of him was nothing but a Phantom!
