The Lustful God is Nearby
The words of Yuanshi Tianzun caused the official members of The Way of the Extraordinary present to tense up instantly. Captains Qing Teng and Bai Long revealed expressions of fear.
Executive Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, and Tong Ren quietly underwent a bestial transformation. Within this deeply experienced executive, a vast aura coalesced, like a fierce beast poised to strike. Jiang Jingwei angrily looked around, fearless, eagerly anticipating a deathmatch with the Lustful God.
"Don't be nervous, he won't attack us at this moment," Zhang Yuanqing reassured everyone, sharing the phenomena observed through his astrology.
Upon hearing that they were not in immediate danger, Qing Teng, dressed in a cheongsam, and Bai Long, the tough elder sister, breathed a sigh of relief. Falling into the hands of the Lustful God was worse than death. "Why, why is it that us big guys are in danger?" Da Ji Ba was both flustered and bewildered, with a hint of fear mixed in. Li Dongze, while pulling out his phone to call Fu Qingyang, said in a deep voice, "Will they be captured by the Lustful God?" The complexions of Qing Teng and Bai Long, who had just relaxed, instantly turned pale.
"No!" Guan Ya, however, remained calm, looking at Zhang Yuanqing, and said, "If I were really captured by the Lustful God, I would definitely commit suicide. But I am not in immediate danger!" Her expression and eyes seemed to be conveying something. Zhang Yuanqing nodded, without beating around the bush, and said
"Although the Lustful God is strong, we have four Saints present, and Executive Wan is deeply experienced. Even the Lustful God couldn't kill us in a short time. If the commotion becomes too great, Elder Fu will notice. Besides, the Lustful God cannot be sure if there are other elders secretly watching nearby."
"Also, there's too much foot traffic here. If a fight really breaks out, it will affect the innocent, and the moral score will drop to zero in minutes." Executive Wan silently suppressed his aura and nodded in agreement, saying:
"So, you mean the Lustful God is nearby and will secretly mark us while Fu Qingyang is away. When we leave and return to our residences, he will follow the mark and come after us."
He glanced at the woman's corpse on the bed, a hint of sadness concealed within. "Just like what happened to Deep Sea Queen."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded. "Yes, but Guan Ya and the others are safe because they live in Fu Family Bay, and the Lustful God wouldn't dare come there to die." As he spoke, he looked towards the living room, saying
"I'm not sure about the specific range of the Mist Lord's marking, but it won't be too far. The Lustful God is likely in this building. We must be careful." After he said this, the hearts of the crowd, which had just been lowered, were raised again.
If the Lustful God is nearby, then who is the murderer Elder Fu is pursuing?" Li Dongze breathed a sigh of relief and frowned while holding his phone. At this moment, the call he made was connected, and Fu Qingyang's voice came from the speakerphone. "What is it?" Li Dongze immediately said, "Elder Fu, the target you are tracking is likely not the Lustful God..." Before he could finish, Fu Qingyang interrupted, "I know!" "You know?" Li Dongze was stunned.
Everyone present was equally stunned. Fu Qingyang had long seen that the culprit was not the Lustful God. Only Guan Ya turned her head to look at the corpse on the bed, deep in thought. "Although Deep Sea Queen had traces of sexual assault, it doesn't fit the style of the Lustful God. According to the information compiled by the Northern Branch, the victims he raped and killed all have obvious 'marks'." Fu Qingyang's voice came through the speakerphone, saying
"However, the murderer is still an important clue. Being able to kill a captain-level member of The Way of the Extraordinary silently means that their level won't be low." After explaining, he asked, "Did you call me just to say this?"
Li Dongze hurriedly said, "Yuanshi said that the Lustful God is nearby..." He immediately explained the situation as quickly as possible. Fu Qingyang said, "I know!" He proactively hung up the phone. Ten minutes later, Li Dongze's phone rang, and the caller was Fu Qingyang.
The elegant squad leader quickly answered, and Fu Qingyang's voice, like the collision of ice cubes, rang from the speakerphone:
"Within a one-kilometer radius of the apartment, there are no other members of The Way of the Extraordinary besides you. Yuanshi, take another look at everyone's faces." Zhang Yuanqing immediately opened his "Star Eyes" and surveyed the crowd, stunned, saying, "The faces are normal, the impending doom has disappeared." Fu Qingyang's tone was calm, as if he had expected this, and instructed:
"Guan Ya, there's a camera in the room. Find it. I'll continue to pursue the murderer." With that, he hung up the phone. There's a camera in the room? Everyone looked around the room, scrutinizing every corner.
Zhang Yuanqing frowned, combined the information, thought for a moment, and suddenly understood, saying, "The Lustful God marked Deep Sea Queen's team, but didn't personally kill them. Instead, he sent his subordinates to do it. After the murderer killed them, they left surveillance equipment at the scene. The Lustful God hid nearby and used the surveillance equipment to observe the official members of The Way of the Extraordinary who were investigating the scene, wanting to repeat the same trick, secretly mark the official members of The Way of the Extraordinary, and hunt them down later."
"But when I used astrology to observe your faces just now, the Lustful God saw and heard everything. So he abandoned the plan and decisively retreated. That's why Fu Qingyang's 'True Eye Art' didn't find the Lustful God, and that's why everyone's impending doom disappeared. Hiss"
Da Ji Ba gasped, angrily saying, "This guy is really cunning."
This time, no one mocked him, because the Lustful God was indeed cunning to the point of making one's scalp tingle. If there hadn't been a Star Official present today, everyone would have fallen for his trick. Executive Wan wasn't a scout and didn't participate in finding the surveillance equipment. He said in a deep voice, "We can't underestimate the level of the Gods. Although each of them has obvious personality flaws, being able to live and become a God, and to get to where they are today, isn't just luck."
"If they were that easy to deal with, they would have died long ago. There's still a headache ahead. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. We never know what he will do next." Seeing the solemn expressions of his colleagues in Kangyang District, he comforted them
"Don't worry, the Lustful God has made a big deal out of this, so the Elders will definitely take action. The Demon Eye was already defeated in Songhai, let alone a God." As he spoke, Guan Ya had already locked onto the target. She walked to the TV and picked up the stuffed bear leaning against the vase. Its eyes were facing the double bed and the bedroom door. Guan Ya unzipped the zipper on the back of the stuffed bear and, as expected, found the monitoring and surveillance equipment in the white fiber cotton. "Tsk tsk, three beauties."
On the streets at night, the traffic was congested. In a black car, in the back seat, the Lustful God, wearing headphones, stared at the phone screen and licked his lips. After Guan Ya found the surveillance equipment and destroyed the camera, the Lustful God put down his phone and instructed, "Terminate the plan, leave Songhai, and go to Jinshan City!" The driver was a young man wearing a baseball cap. He followed
"The national highway and highway entrances are all blocked. People from the Five Elements Alliance have checked the passing vehicles. I can only take you to the suburbs, and you'll have to walk to Jinshan City yourself." The Lustful God said "Mm" and, "Notify your subordinates and tell them to stop all actions and focus on hiding. Those five old guys in Songhai are probably going to be mobilized." The young man with the baseball cap chuckled.
"Those trash from the official side would never think that we would decisively leave Songhai. We freelancers fight guerrilla warfare, and we've never lost."
As the young man with the baseball cap spoke, he suddenly became excited
"God, if you can hunt down Yuanshi Tianzun; that's a billion! The brothers can eat well and drink well. Your reputation will surpass the other Gods, plus the prop rewards... the Silver Moon God has already been promoted to Overlord. Maybe you'll be the next leader of the Gods."
The Lustful God lowered the car window, looked at the night scene outside the street, and scoffed, "Yuanshi Tianzun is a Star Official, best at seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. He's not easy to deal with." Originally, his plan was to use fishing tactics combined with blitzkrieg tactics to complete two jobs in one day, giving the Songhai branch a thunderous blow and hurting them in one breath. Then, quickly evacuate Songhai and carry out the second plan - going to Jinshan City and using the No Trace Hotel as a breakthrough to carry out the operation to hunt down Yuanshi Tianzun. Unexpectedly, the trap set tonight directly attracted Yuanshi Tianzun, forcing him to terminate the plan ahead of schedule. However, although he didn't achieve the expected goal, the effect of provoking and hurting the Songhai branch was sufficient.
The Lustful God retracted his gaze, opened his phone, and sent a message, "Arriving in Jinshan City in half an hour." After sending the message, he received a reply message more than ten minutes later. The content was a photo.
Night fell, under a brightly lit residential building, a teenager wearing a blue delivery uniform and a blue helmet walked out of the building. His features were quite handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, arrogance hidden within, like a grumpy and combative little wolfdog. "Ding Dong!" Another text message came in
He is Kou Beiyue. After you arrive in Jinshan City, I will send you the address. The president asked me to cooperate with your actions. If you need anything, just let me know.
Inside the apartment, the blackness in Zhang Yuanqing's eyes receded. He glanced at the corpse at his feet and shook his head, saying, "He's not a subordinate of the Lustful God, but a regular customer of the Wild Passion Bar, a rogue cultivator. He's quite famous in their little circle, after all, he's a Saint."
"The Lustful God secretly collected a lot of customers' information, and he's one of them. He was bewitched by the Lustful God and became a knife of lust, killing Deep Sea Queen and six colleagues."
"The Lustful God is very cautious. I didn't see any other useful information."
The corpse at his feet was an Illusionist, a tall and thin middle-aged man who looked like a very decent middle-aged man from the outside. The captains were full of disappointment, while Executive Wan and Fu Qingyang's expressions were normal, as if it was reasonable to not have any clues.
Both were experienced hunters who knew that to deal with a God-level enemy, one must have sufficient patience. Fu Qingyang pondered for a long time and analyzed:
“The Lustful God will likely lie low in the near future and will probably leave Songhai temporarily. Notify our colleagues in the nearby branches in Songhai and tell them to be careful. If there are any abnormalities, report them immediately.”
"Yuanshi, we need to prepare for 'patrol'." Executive Wan frowned and said:
"If the Lustful God goes into hiding, we don't know when he will strike again. It's like a thorn in our side. You little girls, pay attention." Qing Teng said with a wry smile
"Executive Wan, don't scare us..." Executive Wan shook his head
"Evil professions are best at guerrilla warfare. There is only a thousand days of being a thief, and no thousand days of guarding against a thief. I'm not scaring you, this is an objective fact." Stupid! Women don't want to hear facts now, they just want care and comfort! Zhang Yuanqing criticized in his heart. Executive Wan was also a straight-laced man, but unfortunately, he was really not in the mood to complain now. Fu Qingyang glanced at his watch. "Let's go, I have to meet with the five old guys. Based on my assessment of the Lustful God, if he hides for too long, he may already be secretly planning his next move." "Your takeout has arrived, please give a five-star rating." In a residential building, Kou Beiyue handed the dinner to the customer, with a smile on his face. Although Human Blood Mantou had told him countless times not to smile at these people who ordered takeout, because most of them were too lazy to rate.
“For those of us who deliver takeout, we are just tools in their eyes. It's expected of you to do well, and they will only think of the rating system and give you a bad review if you don't do well. So, if you encounter someone who gives you a bad review, just cut their kidneys off."
Kou Beiyue thought it made a lot of sense, but if you don't ask, how will people give you a good review? What if you encounter someone who is soft-hearted and gives you one! Moreover, if you ask for a five-star rating, even if people think you didn't do well, their retaliation will only be "I won't give you a good review." Hmm, this is a secret that Xiao Yuan taught him during a casual chat. "Bang." The customer ignored him and closed the door after taking the takeout.
Kou Beiyue scurried downstairs, returned to his electric scooter, took the milk tea hanging on the handlebar, and took a big gulp, letting out a satisfied sigh. It was dinnertime, and there were too many orders to deliver.
He hung up half a bottle of milk tea, sat on the electric scooter, and was about to go to the next house when he suddenly saw a man wearing a mask, with a thin figure and dark skin, walking towards him.
