The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 649 Important People to Each Other

"Heh, set you up?"

Chen Xiao sneered twice, "With your trash-like abilities, do you even deserve me setting you up?"

"Damn it, you're making me so angry! Captain Wang, avenge me!"

The donkey-faced man had a broken arm, so he was naturally angry and annoyed, begging the pig-faced man to avenge him.

"You bastard, I'll blow you away with one shot!"

The pig-faced man raised his gun and aimed it at Chen Xiao, wanting to stand up for his subordinate and avenge him.

However, at this moment, a rustling sound suddenly rang out around them.

"What's that sound? Did you hear it?"

Hearing this sound, the pig-faced man felt a tightness in his heart for no reason and looked at the donkey-faced man and asked.

"I heard it, it seems to be... coming from above?"

The donkey-faced man squinted his eyes and looked up.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "thump," and a whole piece of the kitchen ceiling fell down.

Dust flew everywhere.

And along with the dust, there were also centipedes... many centipedes.

Each one was as long and thick as a forearm!

"Oh my..."

"Ah..."

"Save me..."

"Ah..."

The donkey-faced man let out a series of strange screams.

The first scream was because dozens of demonic beast centipedes had fallen down, scaring him.

The second scream was because the group of centipede demonic beasts smelled blood and all went towards the wound on his broken arm.

The third scream was him shouting for help.

As for the fourth scream, it was the last scream he made before he died.

After these few screams, the donkey-faced man, who had been arrogant and domineering before, had turned into a bloody corpse.

Under the group of centipede demonic beasts' ravenous gnawing, his body quickly revealed its ghastly white bones.

Seeing this scene, the pig-faced man's big fat face turned pale with fright, devoid of any color.

At this time, he was already surrounded by centipede demonic beasts and could only keep firing his gun to force them back.

But how many bullets can a gun hold? When the bullets ran out, what awaited him would be the same fate as the donkey-faced man.

He was so scared that a few drops of urine came out, but he suddenly noticed that Chen Xiao and Luo Qian were clearly only a few meters away from him, but this group of demonic beasts didn't attack them, only making things difficult for him.

Could it be that this group of demonic beasts was afraid of that kid?

The pig-faced man suddenly recalled some legends about Chen Xiao. According to the legends, he was an especially fierce man whose strength was no less than Xiao Tian Ce's.

Normally, he wouldn't believe this legend, and would even scoff at it.

But now, he was treating a dead horse as if it were still alive, putting all his hopes on Chen Xiao.

"Save, save me... please..."

The pig-faced man begged Chen Xiao for help.

"Why should I save you? Are we that close?"

Chen Xiao crossed his arms and mocked him with a playful look.

When the pig-faced man heard this, he was overjoyed.

Because from Chen Xiao's words, he indeed had the ability to save him!

"As long as you save me, I can give you money, I can give you a lot of money... I can even recommend you to join the Evil Exorcism Division. Deputy Captain Zhang just sacrificed himself, and you can just take his place!"

The pig-faced man said with certainty.

Hearing these words, Chen Xiao almost laughed out loud.

This person not only looked like a pig, but his IQ was also not much different from a pig's.

However, at this time, Luo Qian pleaded for the pig-faced man: "Brother Chen, why don't you save him..."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly and looked at Luo Qian in confusion.

Didn't Luo Qian hate this pig head very much? Why did she want him to save him?

Then he heard Luo Qian explain: "Brother Chen, only this captain knows where Chi Hao is being held. If he dies, we will never be able to find Chi Hao again."

Hearing these words, Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "I see. Very well, then I will save his life!"

Chen Xiao didn't want to appear too shocking to the world. He happened to see chopsticks on the kitchen counter next to him, so he grabbed a handful and scattered them towards the group of centipede demonic beasts.

Duó! Duó! Duó!...

After a series of muffled sounds, the dozens of centipede demonic beasts were all nailed to the ground, only able to twist their huge bodies, but unable to move a step.

Seeing this scene, the pig-faced man finally breathed a long sigh of relief. His little life was saved.

He glanced at Chen Xiao, but there was no gratitude on his face.

He was still secretly thinking in his heart that this Chen kid really had some tricks up his sleeve. If he could find a way to use him, why would he have to worry about being promoted and making a fortune in the future?!

"I'm asking you, where did you imprison Chi Hao?"

Chen Xiao didn't know what this pig-faced man was planning. Seeing that he wasn't speaking, he thought he was frightened.

Who would have thought that when the pig-faced man heard his question, he sneered: "Why should I tell you?"

"Hey, do you have any shame? Have you forgotten who was shouting and begging for help just now?"

Luo Qian's nose was almost crooked when she saw the pig-faced man's ungrateful face.

"I was the one shouting for help, but I never said that I would tell you where Chi Hao was being held!"

The pig-faced man's eyes darted around, and he said with a sinister look, "Of course, I, Wang, am also a person who knows how to repay kindness. As long as this Mr. Chen agrees to one thing, I might as well tell you the whereabouts of Chi Hao."

"What is it?"

Luo Qian asked immediately.

"As long as he joins the Evil Exorcism Division and becomes my deputy captain, then we will be one of our own. Between our own people, everything is easy to discuss!"

The pig-faced man thought that this plan was seamless and simply perfect.

He was completely unaware that he was courting death.

"What are you dreaming about? Wanting Brother Chen to be your subordinate? Bah, why don't you take a piss and look at your own virtue? Are you worthy?"

Luo Qian was so angry that she directly spat at the pig-faced man.

The pig-faced man's face darkened: "Whether I'm worthy or not is not up to you to say, Luo Qian. I see that you really don't want to work anymore. After I finish dealing with this matter, I'll teach you a good lesson!"

Then he turned his gaze back to Chen Xiao, "Have you considered it yet? Give me a straight answer!"

Chen Xiao smiled: "What if I don't agree?"

"Then you'll be a little ungrateful!"

The pig-faced man said with a gloomy face, "Then not only will you not know the whereabouts of Chi Hao, but I will also pursue your responsibility. Deputy Captain Zhang's death is inseparable from you! You just wait!"

He glared fiercely at Chen Xiao and Luo Qian, finished speaking, snorted, and turned to leave.

He wanted to leave, but how could Chen Xiao agree?

Chen Xiao couldn't even remember how long it had been since he had encountered such a clueless thing!

"Bang!"

Just as the pig-faced man walked to the kitchen door, the door suddenly slammed shut.

The pig-faced man was confused. He wondered, there was no wind, how could the door suddenly close?

And at this moment, he heard Chen Xiao's voice coming from behind him.

"If you don't reveal the whereabouts of Chi Hao, don't even think about leaving here today!"

The pig-faced man frowned: "Kid, are you scaring me? Do you know who I work for? I'm telling you, you can't scare me!"

"I don't care who you work for!"

Chen Xiao sneered disdainfully.

At this time, the pig-faced man suddenly heard a bang, and his hand was a little sore.

He looked down and was immediately scared out of his wits, his face pale.

Because he didn't know what was going on, one of his fingers had exploded and turned into powder.

"Now tell me, where did you hide Chi Hao?"

Chen Xiao asked again.

"Are you threatening me? I don't believe this is real. This must be an illusion. I know you people too well. You like to play these deceptive tricks. I'm not afraid because this is not real at all..."

Just as the pig-faced man was babbling, he suddenly heard another bang.

In an instant, the pig-faced man's eyes straightened, and he seemed to be completely dumbfounded.

At first, Luo Qian didn't understand what was going on, until the pig-faced man's crotch revealed a stain of blood...

And Chen Xiao's move directly collapsed the pig-faced man.

Only a "plop" was heard, and the pig-faced man knelt on the ground.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, please, spare me, stop playing with me, I know I was wrong..."

"Chi Hao was sent to some research institute. I don't know the name of that research institute or its specific location. I only know that it's in the Northern Territory. I don't know anything else."

"I really only know this much, please spare me! Can you undo the illusion?"

The pig-faced man begged bitterly, and Chen Xiao raised the corners of his mouth: "Who said this is an illusion?"

"What? Not an illusion..."

The pig-faced man looked bewildered, his eyes filled with fear and pain.

However, Chen Xiao's mercy did not allow this fear and pain to last too long.

A few tenths of a second later, the pig-faced man turned into a cloud of blood mist with a "bang."

Luo Qian asked tremblingly: "Brother, Brother Chen, did you kill him?"

"If I don't kill him, am I supposed to keep him around to take revenge on me?"

Chen Xiao said indifferently, "It seems I'm going to have to take a trip to the Northern Territory. Luo Qian, have you and Chi Hao gotten together?"

"Ah? I..."

Luo Qian's pretty face was slightly red, and she lowered her head, looking very embarrassed.

She neither admitted nor denied it, but said softly, "It can't be considered getting together, but for us, we are both very important people to each other."

Chen Xiao felt a burst of goosebumps and couldn't help but shudder.

"Now that the case is closed, you can go back. Don't worry about Chi Hao's matter, just leave it to me."

Chen Xiao said, taking on everything.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Chen!"

Luo Qian said sincerely.

"What are you thanking me for? It's just a small effort."

Chen Xiao waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

However, after separating from Luo Qian, Chen Xiao immediately returned to the Blue Star Steel Factory's cafeteria.

On the ceiling of the cafeteria, there was still a huge centipede, more than two meters long, but it was currently in a coma.

It was the leader of the group of centipede demonic beasts just now, and the reason why it was in a coma was naturally thanks to Chen Xiao.

The reason why Chen Xiao didn't tell Luo Qian about the existence of this big centipede was firstly because he was worried about scaring Luo Qian, and secondly because he wanted to get rid of Luo Qian, who was a burden.

For him, the demonic beast incident was obviously not over yet, and it could even be said that the incident had only just begun...
