Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 538 To Death
Wanli Fengdao, with his eyes narrowed, complained expressionlessly, "One sentence and I know, you're an old sonar."
"Really? It's okay, right?"
Li Ang waved his hand calmly, "The real lethal dose of anime is like this—
Ufufu~
You ‘inferior beings’... dare to ‘fantasize’?
Well then, ‘true anime’ and stuff—I don’t think you understand at all ☆
(Laughs)
Ma ma ma...
But watching your laughable attempts to pretend to be ‘anime,’
has sparked some interest in ‘three-dimensional idiots’ in me? ★~”
“Why are you so familiar with this!”
Wanli Fengdao looked at Li Ang, who was standing on one foot, closing one eye, and holding his hand with his middle and ring fingers clasped in a 6+1 hand gesture, and complained with a pained expression, "Imitating too closely reveals that you're an old anime fan..."
"Of course,"
Li Ang instantly returned to a normal posture and said calmly, "No investigation, no right to speak. As a player with professional ethics, I must deeply understand the culture of different times and regions.
Don't look at me like this now. When I was young, I was known as the encyclopedia of anime."
Aren’t you young now…
Li Ang ignored the pained expression on Wanli Fengdao's face,
Shook his head and sighed to himself, as if reminiscing about his lost youth,
"In short, let's hurry up and leave,
Although there shouldn’t be any transcendents chasing us in Luzhou City now,
But this thing is a hot potato...”
He had personally seen the auspicious creature foretell fortunes in the royal palace, so the origins of the ape-man were definitely not simple.
No sooner said than done,
Several players quietly left the post and came to the suburbs,
Li Ang used [Summoning Art·Fear Warhorse] to summon a tall horse burning with cold flames on the spot, and threw the unconscious auspicious creature on its back.
Liu Wudai took out a bicycle prop from the backpack column,
The other two also took out their respective means of transportation and hurried towards Chenzhou City.
————
The news of the White Lotus Young Master's death spread throughout the country in just a few days.
Although those who escaped from the underground palace were vague and only roughly described what happened at the time,
The story of Daoist Ximenzi single-handedly wielding his sword to wipe out the White Lotus Young Master, killing White Lotus demons, and arrogantly taking away the auspicious creature in front of the Martial Virtue Guard's Embroidered Uniform Guard,
was still legendary enough
to make countless Jianghu people gasp in amazement.
"Ha, the name Daoist Ximenzi really has recognition. Judging from the naming method, he should be our Little Li."
Chenzhou, Governor's Mansion, a guest room.
Zhu Xuemin, dressed in a long shirt, closed the Di Bao (official gazette) in his hand and shook his head with a wry smile.
This world also has primitive newspapers.
In addition to the Di Bao (official gazette) that specifically records the emperor's edicts and government affairs,
there are also some private newspapers, run by newspaper merchants, publishing news including Jianghu anecdotes.
"It should be him."
Chu Yin was sitting behind a table opposite Zhu Xuemin. She had met Li Ang in the same mission before, and nodded when she heard the words, "According to the bureau's psychological profile of him, he seems to particularly like using information gaps to fool others.
But this time, it seems a bit too flamboyant?"
"More than a bit."
Shi Qi, who was sitting in the corner tasting tea, blew on his teacup and said lightly, "That Guangmu Dharma Protector who lost his son is said to be almost crazy,
beating many servants in his mansion to death.
These days, he is probably busy gathering people, preparing to search the world for the enemy who killed his son.
The government is not idle either. In various prefectures and counties, portraits of Daoist Ximenzi are posted everywhere.
The Martial Virtue Guard and the Eastern Depot have also released words that as long as any clues are provided, they will reward one thousand taels of silver."
One thousand taels of silver is enough to make the eyes of desperadoes in Jianghu bloodshot and go crazy.
Even ordinary cultivators can't help but look around and ask whether there are any short-haired Taoists appearing in nearby prefectures and counties.
They didn't want to really arrest Daoist Ximenzi.
Just kidding,
That's a fierce man who single-handedly killed the White Lotus Young Master and a group of elites without even panting.
Helping the Martial Virtue Guard inquire about news, provide information, and earn some rewards is enough.
If they really ran into a short-haired Taoist in the wild, they wouldn't have time to flee in panic.
Zhu Xuemin frowned and said, "He used a name that players in the Killing Game can understand.
Although this way we can know that he did go to Luzhou and did snatch the auspicious creature,
But if there are players from other forces in this layer,
This behavior is equivalent to letting them know our movements."
"Well, that's certainly possible."
Shi Qi said in a low voice, "But that Captain Xing has a high opinion of Little Li, believing that he is meticulous in his thinking, watertight, and has already thought about the next three steps for every step he takes.
And Chu Yin also said before,
The Special Affairs Bureau's psychological evaluation department believes that Little Li can be trusted to a certain extent.
He dares to do this, he should have absolute confidence, not aimless."
"...I hope so."
Zhu Xuemin sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly.
A major tenet of the Modern Esoteric Society
is to excavate the Xuanxue (metaphysics) inheritance that has been lost in the long river of history,
and to collect Taoist materials common to different script worlds.
As a disciple of the Esoteric Society, after entering this ancient fantasy background world,
he must collect intelligence and use divination to deduce the subsequent development of the Prince Shengnan script,
and integrate a large amount of cumbersome data, analyze the value of this world's Xuanxue system to the Esoteric Society in detail.
He has hardly rested,
and has completely relied on the standard medicines distributed by the Special Affairs Bureau to get to where he is now.
Shi Qi said with some unbearable expression, "Why don't you go to sleep first,
I and Chu Yin are here."
"No need."
Zhu Xuemin shook his head and said, forcing himself to cheer up, "There is still some information that has not been processed,
and, Captain Xun is coming back soon..."
Before he finished speaking, the wooden door of the guest room was knocked.
Shi Qi put down the teacup, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
A low, hoarse male voice came from outside the door.
Shi Qi stood up, approached the door to observe,
Above the head of the man outside the door, the player ID [Xun Zian] was floating.
"It's Captain Xun."
Shi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and at Zhu Xuemin's signal, he uncovered the talisman paper attached to the door.
Xun Zian, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face full of integrity, pushed the door open and entered, nodded to his companions who got up to greet him, closed the door casually, and reattached the talisman paper that had an isolation effect, "I'm back."
"Welcome back."
Zhu Xuemin smiled, "Did you bring back the things from Fengzhou and Qizhou?"
"Brought them back."
Xun Zian nodded, took something out of his backpack column, and slapped it on the table.
Those were two bloody demon heads.
