If this caused a delay in his own plans, it would truly be a case of picking up sesame seeds and losing a watermelon.
After all, one couldn't just acquire new types of weapons with money. Now that the two key figures were right before him, Li Chonglou would have to be out of his mind to agree to Dunn.
However.
Li Chonglou suddenly turned to Luo Feng and asked, "Do you know the situation here?"
"A little bit."
"Do you know what happened to that guy just now? I always feel something is off."
"What do you mean?"
Li Chonglou recounted the situation with the man holding the gun, and Luo Feng's expression suddenly froze.
"You mean he seemed to have a split personality?"
Li Chonglou nodded, but then quickly shook his head, "It's similar, but I suspect it might be something else. I encountered another abnormal person before him."
Luo Feng finally understood Li Chonglou's meaning: "Are you saying there's a situation where a master has lost control?"
This was a serious matter. In their circle, such incidents usually only occurred due to cultivation deviation. No one had ever heard of someone perfectly fine suddenly losing their sanity.
However, Li Chonglou's words made him think it was indeed possible, as he had seen too many corpses along the way. Logically, reaching their level, and coming here to capture Green Bull for core materials, they wouldn't harm innocent ordinary people.
Those who reached their stage were generally not perverts. Otherwise, the various gangs wouldn't dare to keep them here, considering Shangjing was the strictest place in all of China.
Therefore, when Li Chonglou brought up this issue, Luo Feng's expression immediately turned solemn.
To better understand the current situation, Li Chonglou asked Dunn to meticulously recount what had happened earlier, not concerning what she had done to him, but the changes in the man's reactions.
Dunn didn't hesitate. After a moment's thought, she focused on describing the man with the gun's changes in more detail. This time, Li Chonglou and Luo Feng spoke in unison.
"He's controlling his emotions!"
Even Dunn nodded silently as they said this.
As an elite in business, she was adept at reading people and their expressions. Her conclusion about the man with the gun's changes was the same as theirs.
He was indeed controlling his emotions, which was why he had acted so erratically. In essence, it was as if a demon was trying to compel him to do morally reprehensible things, but his inherent goodness still seemed to retain some clarity.
The struggle between these two thoughts made him appear dazed and lost.
If they approached it from this perspective, Li Chonglou and Luo Feng suddenly exchanged glances.
"You also think it's possible?"
"Yes."
Luo Feng's expression turned grave, and he murmured, "If this is indeed the case, then it's troublesome. It means we've all fallen into someone's trap!"
"No! We need to leave quickly!"
Saying this, Luo Feng turned to leave, but after taking a couple of steps, he froze.
"No, wait a minute."
Luo Feng turned back, staring directly at Li Chonglou.
"Who are you? Do you know me?"
Li Chonglou shrugged his shoulders, "No."
Luo Feng was speechless and felt like spitting blood. If you don't know me, why are you talking to me like we're old acquaintances? You've led me on!
This scene completely stunned Dunn.
Based on their conversation, it would normally take friends of many years to converse so naturally. But now, it seemed neither of them knew the other?
Seeing Li Chonglou's unyielding demeanor, Luo Feng scratched his head and stepped forward to introduce himself.
"My name is Luo Feng."
"Li Chonglou."
The two shook hands for the first time.
"I say, aren't you afraid I have ill intentions towards you?"
This was the first time Luo Feng had encountered such a situation. He was the one who had been following, and logically, anyone would be wary of him. Yet, from Li Chonglou, he felt absolutely nothing...
What he found even more unexpected was Li Chonglou's reply.
"No."
Just two words, but they completely shut him down, leaving him speechless.
What's more, Li Chonglou said these two words with a smile, exuding an aura of utter indifference.
Luo Feng felt completely numb.
"Um, my situation..."
Dunn's words interrupted the awkwardness between them. Li Chonglou suddenly spoke, "How about this, since you're leaving anyway, why don't you take her with you?"
Luo Feng retorted, "Aren't you leaving? What are you staying here for?"
"I still have some things to do."
"What things?"
"Sorry, it's not convenient to say."
Luo Feng couldn't help but scratch his head, as he had once again mistakenly assumed they were close. It couldn't be helped, Li Chonglou's demeanor made it easy for people to subconsciously feel a sense of closeness.
"Help me!"
A scream suddenly rang out from a distance, instantly capturing the attention of the three.
When they turned their heads, they saw two figures running out from beside a shop in panic. However, they hadn't run far before two dark shadows flashed past them, piercing their hearts directly.
Instantly, blood spurted out, dyeing the ground red.
The gory scene made Dunn's face pale, and she unconsciously grabbed Li Chonglou's arm.
"Let's go, I told you to keep going!"
Following a near-maniacal voice, a figure slowly emerged from within.
It was a burly man, his face masked, clearly a gangster who had come because of the news.
His hands were stained with blood, and he had likely killed more than just the two before them.
Li Chonglou and Luo Feng exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's thoughts.
"You go ahead, she seems a bit unstable at the moment."
Li Chonglou said this while looking at Dunn beside him. Her eyes were still fixed on the two lying in a pool of blood, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.
This was also a human instinct; the more afraid something made you, the more you etched it into your mind. Despite trembling from fear, her eyes couldn't look away from the scene that terrified her.
At this moment, Dunn's brain had lost all capacity for thought; all her reactions were merely instinctual.
Luo Feng said with some exasperation, "Don't you not want to help her?"
"One thing is one thing, and another is another. Can you bear to leave an innocent person here?"
"Tch."
Luo Feng's expression was one of extreme disdain, yet his body moved truthfully towards the burly man.
Although Luo Feng wasn't intentionally releasing his aura, his presence was still incomparable to that of an ordinary person.
