He collapsed to the ground without making a single sound.
Releasing the dead man in her hands, Liu Yue turned and disappeared into the bushes.
“Woosh.” The soft sound of the wind blowing was heard.
The sound of the wind suddenly died down with a flash of silver light, leaving only a slight scent of blood in the air.
“Chirp. Chirp.” The cricket within the bushes was not some unusual thing.

The last remaining assassin in the green uniform was frightened. No matter how many times he sent out the secret signal, the other assassins seemed to have fallen like a rock in the ocean. There was no response at all. It was as if they had all disappeared.
“Woosh. Woosh.” None. Still none.
A cold sweat ran down his back. What was going on? What had happened?
There were no murderous auras nor any single sound in the surroundings. There was absolutely nothing; and clearly, there were no other people. Then where had all his comrades disappeared to?
