Chapter 286: The exquisite chef’s understanding of people?
When a store appears in no man’s land.
Most people would most likely not go in rashly if they were not forced to do so.
In this place far away from the secular world, moral and legal constraints have been reduced to a certain extent. It will be difficult to ensure your own safety if you enter at will.
And it's still midnight.
It's even harder to say what might happen.
But for Chen Yun, there is no need to think so much.
Unless the auto repair shop is packed with a hundred heavy-armored synthetic brigades and a Tsar nuclear bomb, and there are space-based kinetic energy weapons aimed at this place.
Otherwise, there is a high probability that you will not encounter any danger.
Naturally, it is impossible to be so prepared here.
In Chen Yun's transparent perception of the world, the three people here have no weapons.
There are just some common pneumatic tools, welding tools, wrenches, physical crowbars and the like in auto repair shops.
Without even an intercontinental missile.
What threat could there be?
So, Chen Yun came to the door of the auto repair shop with his dog in his arms out of curiosity.
Inside the open store door.
The dim light shone on him, but the busy man obviously hadn't noticed his arrival.
Chen Yun stood quietly at the door, observing this strange scene.
The busy figure was immersed in his work, completely unaware that Chen Yun was standing at the door watching him.
The man's fingers dexterously fiddled with the mechanical parts in his hands, occasionally looking up at the old wall clock in a corner, and then lowering his head again to continue working.
Chen Yun noticed that whenever the sound of metal collision sounded, the man would pause for a moment, as if listening to see if the sounds were in line with his expectations.
Under his 700-meter transparent world perception range.
Even though it's dark now.
Chen Yun can also clearly see everything in the auto repair shop.
Except for this busy man.
The other two men were fast asleep in the next room.
The room where two people slept next to the auto repair shop.
It looks like they have stocked up on a lot of water and food, which obviously also serves as a canteen.
It’s a no-brainer.
Water, food and even auto repair services here will most likely be very expensive.
But considering the cost and scarcity of opening a store here, as long as it's not too expensive, it's considered normal.
For now, this place can't be called a black shop.
while he was thinking.
finally.
After accidentally catching a glimpse of the reflection of the tool in his hand, the man in front of him turned his head sharply.
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He saw Chen Yun standing at the door, obviously surprised by the arrival of this uninvited guest.
In the middle of the night, in no man's land, a man suddenly appeared.
When these elements came together, even he was subconsciously startled.
"Ah...when did you come?"
The man stood up in surprise, holding the wrench tightly in his hand.
Apparently this makes him feel more secure.
At the same time, he exuded a strong sense of vigilance.
Chen Yun smiled slightly and did not answer immediately.
He walked into the store with the dog in his arms and looked around.
Observing the relatively worn equipment and parts scattered on the ground.
"I just arrived."
After walking up to the man, Chen Yun said calmly.
This made the man swallow subconsciously.
In this remote no man's land, suddenly meeting a strange man in the middle of the night can really make people feel frightened.
But looking at Chen Yun and the dog in his arms, there were still shadows in front of him.
Thinking back to the fact that there were two other people here, he became a little bolder.
Maybe... another big fat sheep?
The man smiled and seemed to relax a little.
He stretched out his hand to introduce himself:
"I am Li Ming, the shopkeeper here."
"Do you need any help?"
While appearing to be giving in, Li Ming quietly pressed a hidden button on the table behind him without hesitation.
Naturally, all this could not be hidden from Chen Yun.
Under his transparent perception of the world, he not only saw this guy's small movements, but also saw two men in the next room, awakened by the not-so-loud alarm bell caused by the button.
But he didn't say so.
Instead, he said rather curiously: "I didn't expect to find an auto repair shop here. Do you often have customers here?"
Compare Li Ming’s self-introduction.
He did not introduce himself to him.
Because after looking around, he had discovered something unusual here.
If you use the sense of smell through time and space.
You will find that the wrench in Li Ming's hand has the smell of human blood.
Depends on the specific smell.
The blood stains left here do not belong to any of the three people here.
Judging from the intensity of the bloody smell.
It was obviously impossible to have a few drops of blood dripping from the wound caused by accident. It was most likely that the entire wrench was soaked in blood.
This wrench should be used as a murder weapon.
The most important thing is.
The lethal amount of blood on this wrench doesn't belong to just one person.
Obviously there is more than one soul ring on this wrench.
Therefore, there is a high probability that this is a black shop.
It fits Chen Yun's stereotype of shops in no-man's land.
Could you please kill some time next?
Chen Yun was thinking.
Li Ming in front of him also started to answer:
"Not often, especially this late."
"But we always keep the light open for those in need."
Li Ming smiled, obviously not surprised by Chen Yun's question.
Everyone who sees him will basically ask this out of curiosity.
And the first half of his answer was naturally the truth.
After all, this is a no-man's land in a sense, and people are always surprised.
And the second half of the sentence is naturally fart.
Leave the light on? What a joke!
It is normal to kill people who pass by.
He undoubtedly wanted to create a friendly image by saying this and try to lower the other party's vigilance.
No matter who was on the other side, appearing here in the middle of the night really made him feel uneasy.
It's better to take it first and then talk about it.
While Li Ming was thinking this, his eyes caught sight of two people, one fat and one thin, approaching outside the door.
It was his two accomplices who came over after hearing the alarm bell he secretly pressed.
As a veteran who often does evil things.
When the fat man and the thin man approached, each carrying a baseball bat in their hands, they quietly approached step by step.
See this.
Li Ming's eyes flashed and he was about to say something.
Obviously trying to attract attention. But the intense emotions that were about to come out, and the strong murderous intent that was almost revealed.
Chen Yun rolled his eyes helplessly.
Then he kicked Li Ming's leg without hesitation.
Some times.
It's not that he had to fight back because he was being plotted against. As a strong man, Chen Yun just felt that he was about to be plotted against, so he decisively struck first.
He didn't even bother to listen to explanations and excuses.
I just want to see blood flowing like a river.
He didn't use much force, and he didn't kick Li Ming until he exploded.
But even if he withdrew 99% of his strength, the remaining strength still made Li Ming feel as if his leg had been hit by a high-speed racing car.
Before Li Ming could say anything, he was interrupted by Chen Yun's kick.
His left leg lost all feeling in an instant, as if the entire sensation in his lower body had been evacuated by an invisible force.
He suddenly looked down at his left leg, only to see that the leg was twisted at an unnatural angle, with bruises and purples crisscrossing under the skin, like a winding mountain range on a map.
There is swelling around the knee.
It was like a tumor the size of a basketball suddenly grew.
The area between the ankle and the knee was in a disgustingly flat state, as if all the bones had turned into dust and were scattered among the flesh.
Li Ming tried to move his toes, but he only felt a heartbreaking pain, as if countless needles were piercing his nerve endings at the same time.
Sweat instantly dripped from his forehead.
Blurred his vision.
He gritted his teeth and tried not to let any sound escape from his throat, but his body still trembled involuntarily.
This sudden scene made the two men, one fat and one thin, confused.
I couldn't help but pause in my footsteps.
Don't wait for them to react.
Chen Yun stepped on Li Ming who was lying limply on the ground a few more times.
Successfully made his left leg two-dimensional.
Severe pain and chilling images.
Li Ming fainted, and the two men, one fat and one thin, had a cold war.
Don't wait for them to think too much.
Chen Yun had already turned to look at them.
There was no murderous intent in his eyes, only endless peace.
Just like when a person crushes an ant to death.
There will be no murderous intent.
Even after Chen Yun casually broke Li Ming's left leg, he felt nothing.
And this calm expression.
In conjunction with the decisive and cruel scene that happened in the room just now.
The two men, one fat and one thin, dared not move.
But the thinner man among them quickly came to his senses and said to the fat man next to him: "If we pick up this guy and swarm him, this guy can't kill us all."
His tone was firm as if he wanted to join the party.
Indeed, the speed and power that Chen Yun showed just now were simply exaggerated.
But since he just killed a minion at random, his performance power is actually not that great.
Let the thin man comfort himself: He can still fight!
His words were somewhat useful, letting the fat man understand that the only way to attack now was to work together, so he immediately rushed over waving a baseball bat.
The thin man followed without hesitation.
Chen Yun watched all this quietly.
The ability to perceive the world transparently is released.
As everyone knows.
Chen Yun's mental power can actually travel through the living body.
So at this moment.
He could see every muscle fiber of the fat and thin people, and even the position and angle of the bones in their bodies at this moment.
It's like looking at a moving cross-section of the human body.
At this moment.
Chen Yun thought of a word: Cook Ding Jie Niu!
The idiom "Pao Ding Jie Niu" comes from the chapter "Zhuangzi: Master of Health Preservation". It is used to describe the state of being extremely proficient in one's skills, being extremely proficient in doing things, and almost reaching a state of perfection.
The Cook Ding in the original allusion is a chef who butchers cows. His skill in slaughtering cows has reached the point where he can operate freely by feeling without seeing with his eyes.
Chen Yun quietly observed the offensive postures of the fat and thin people, and his perception ability allowed him to understand their movements clearly.
To Chen Yun, the movements of these two people were like the cattle in front of the chef, which had been completely broken down into their most basic components. Every joint and every muscle was under his control.
As the fat man and the thin man approached.
Chen Yun moved slightly, as if melting into the air, and easily avoided the baseball bat swung by the fat man.
then.
He seemed to effortlessly grab the fat man's wrist and twist it hard, and the weapon in the fat man's hand flew out with a scream.
Then Chen Yun's nails picked lightly a few times.
The nails, which were sharper than a knife, instantly scratched some key parts of the fat man's body.
Before he could react at all.
He cut off the fat man's key muscles into sections one by one, causing him to become limp on the ground in an instant.
Every movement of Chen Yun appears so smooth and natural, as if he is executing dance steps that have been rehearsed countless times.
He didn't use too much force, but every contact was just right to defuse the opponent's offensive and turn it into a situation that was favorable to him.
This unhurried attitude and precise movements are exactly the kind of otherworldly skills expressed in "Pao Ding Jie Niu".
But as far as the current situation is concerned.
It should be said that he is the cook who understands the people!
The important muscle connections on the fat man's body were instantly severed at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
This is simply the exquisite art of human anatomy.
And best of all, it all happened quickly.
The moment the fat man collapsed, the thin man's attack followed closely.
Chen Yun's body seemed to be weightless, leaning on one side to avoid the thin man's attack.
The baseball bat in the thin man's hand almost brushed Chen Yun's clothes, not even touching a corner of his clothes.
But he was insidious and held a dagger in his other hand. The moment he passed by Chen Yun, he was about to stab Chen Yun with his backhand.
Chen Yun naturally noticed this.
It's just that he doesn't dodge.
Let the knife stop outside the surface of the skin amid the buzzing sound of gold and iron.
This made the thin man's eyes widen in disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yun's fingers once again showed amazing dexterity.
This time it was lightly scratched near the thin man's shoulder, severing some important muscle connections.
The thin man's body immediately became stiff, and before he could continue to be shocked, he fell weakly to the ground, groaning in pain.
Every movement of Chen Yun is so precise, as if he is performing a delicate surgical operation. He didn't inflict fatal injuries, but it was enough to render his opponent incapacitated.
This made him quite satisfied.
As the fat man and the thin man both fell to the ground, the scene fell into a brief silence.
Chen Yun stood there, knowing that everything was under his control.
He glanced around to make sure there were no other threats.
First, they broke and crushed Li Ming's other leg, which had only one broken leg, and then left these three guys lying on the ground unable to move.
He had murderous intentions towards him.
The consequences are of course self-evident.
He would not pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, or play house with these ants.
If you want to attack him, just strike first and deal with them all.
