Hui Shuai Jiao De Xiong Mao
Chapter 71 Entering the Game
A crazed transcendent carrying a sealed object.
A highly dangerous Out of Control.
Hu Danian used these words to describe the man before him last night, but in fact, meeting him in person revealed that this guy's image was even more shocking than these words... a set of tattered, smelly black clothes covered his entire body, and his exposed skin was withered and pale, looking like a corpse, or even more like a ghost floating on the ground.
Describing him as a wandering soul was very apt.
Seeing him walking on the street would give people the feeling of "seeing a ghost in broad daylight."
Qu Shui was startled, she hid behind Gu Shen, saw the owner of the shriveled palm in this getup, and whispered very softly.
"Doctor Gu... this person... I think I've seen him before..."
"Relax. I'm here."
Gu Shen's expression was calm.
He glanced over, the door crack was being held open by a hand, it seemed he wouldn't give up until he got in.
Looking at his cold and resolute appearance, even if he slammed the door shut hard, he probably wouldn't let go.
Gu Shen simply didn't close the door, but instead opened it generously, making way for the hunchbacked man, "Come in."
This time, it was the hunchbacked man who was stunned.
He slowly walked inside, warily looking around the environment.
"Wait a moment."
Gu Shen said lightly, he took Qu Shui to the west side compartment, the girl hadn't slept all night, her expression was both tired and frightened, she was about to say something when she heard Gu Shen's gentle voice.
"Look at me."
Qu Shui subconsciously looked up, and saw Gu Shen's eyes, a wisp of blazing fire reflected in her pupils...
The next moment, the girl's warm and soft body was gently supported by Gu Shen, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Shen walked out of the west side compartment and took the hunchbacked man to another compartment, drew the curtains, and the room instantly became dark, with only mottled weak light penetrating through the curtain seams.
"Pulling the curtains makes the room darker, you should like it more."
Gu Shen said lightly, "After all, you haven't slept in so long... right?"
The man narrowed his eyes, not saying a word, just silently staring at Gu Shen.
"The Lipu Street mass insomnia incident... has caused such a big stir in Dadu, you should know that someone has been watching you for a long time." Gu Shen slowly opened his mouth, "But you are still committing crimes, and even taking the initiative to come to my door... obviously you don't care, you don't care about being caught, and you don't care about dying."
When he said "don't care."
The man across from him smiled.
"Gu Shen, you really... are hiding very deep."
The other party called out his name... Gu Shen lowered his eyes.
"You can call out my name, which means you've seen my file..." Gu Shen gently tapped the table and smiled, "It should be about the fire case?"
There was no response.
Gu Shen continued to murmur, "Actually, when I saw the files of this extraordinary event, I felt something was wrong. As early as the evening of the eighth, the first insomnia patient appeared on Jiangtan... This was my first day in Dadu. From that day on, the sleepless began to appear one after another near Jiangtan Lipu... For nine consecutive days, this range has never expanded, which is not something a Out of Control who has lost his mind would do."
On the plane, Cui Zhongcheng told him.
This mission... his file was confidential.
And those who knew his itinerary were only the "very few people" in Mr. Cui's words, and this was the key to the mission.
Gu Shen finally understood what Cui Zhongcheng's purpose in sending him to Lipu Street was.
This wasn't a simple vacation adaptation period.
In fact, from the first day he landed in Dadu, the real mission began, but he didn't know it... At that time, someone was already carrying a stone carving and hunting everywhere in Dadu and Jiangtan, the target was him!
"The person behind you... only knows that I came to Dadu, near Jiangtan Lipu, but doesn't know my specific address." Gu Shen chuckled softly and said, "He was too anxious and sent you. But the Su Mu Stone Carving is not a sealed object under your control, so a mass insomnia event occurred in the Jiangtan Lipu area... In fact, you just wanted to find me, the appearance of these insomniacs was not your intention."
"..."
The man was silent, "What do you want to say?"
"Actually, what I want to say... is very simple." Gu Shen said, "Any attempt to use fanatical actions to stop the progress of the times is foolish and ignorant. The tide of the times will not stop because of the death of anyone."
Veins bulged on the man's forehead.
Gu Shen clasped his hands together, stared at the other party, his voice even lower, like a judge sentencing a criminal.
"Disregarding life, killing innocent people indiscriminately, trampling on the rules..."
"If you think that what you are doing symbolizes light and justice, then why does the Changjiu Foundation have to hide underground?"
An angry shout rang out.
"Enough!"
The man interrupted Gu Shen, there was raging anger in his eyes, perhaps because of extreme fatigue, even his furious voice sounded tired and weak.
"Justice is the most high-sounding excuse in the world... those standing in the light are just the victors. We hide underground just to reach a farther end point!" He looked down at Gu Shen condescendingly and asked coldly, "What good thing do you think the Tribunal is?"
Gu Shen's expression did not change, he stared intently at this thin man... just now this remark was his test.
It was to provoke the other party!
Sure enough, this person was a member of the Changjiu Foundation!
Getting this response, a stone fell to the ground in Gu Shen's heart, but at the same time, more fear arose.
What he feared was not the Changjiu Foundation, but Cui Zhongcheng.
Many people feared Mr. Cui.
Even Sister Luo said that Cui Zhongcheng was a cold-blooded and mean person.
At this moment, Gu Shen truly felt the horror of Cui Zhongcheng, the previous pleasant conversation seemed to be fake, he had unknowingly become a chess piece in his plan when he came to Dadu... On the plane, Cui Zhongcheng said that his files were highly confidential and only leaked to a few people.
Obviously, his file was only leaked to the objects of his suspicion.
With the fire case clues cut off.
This move of "inviting the king into the urn" made the Changjiu Foundation's undercover agent jump into the game with joy.
The only price was... he needed to face the next killing game alone.
"Since we've already met, it doesn't matter if you know my identity..."
The man chuckled softly, "Anyway, you and I are already corpses."
"Clang."
A small and exquisite stone carving was taken out by the man and placed heavily on the table. The surface of the stone carving was a ferocious ghost face. Even a normal person would feel a stabbing pain in their head even if they took a look from a distance.
D-grade sealed object, Su Mu Stone Carving!
The files recorded that if touched, or approached too closely, the mental power would be sucked away by the stone carving. In fact, the root cause of taking dreams was that inside this sealed object, there was a ghost dream that devoured the spirit.
Because of carrying the stone carving for a long time, this man was already emaciated, his spirit had already been devoured.
But at this moment, his expression was abnormally excited.
After taking out the stone carving, the man's movements did not end, he lifted the wide and smelly black coat, under the coat, there were bulging and heavy objects tucked away, Gu Shen's pupils shrank... that was a circle of old explosives tied to his body.
"To hell with the new era!"
The man suddenly stood up, his sunken eye sockets reflecting the fiery light, he pounced on Gu Shen, and shouted loudly.
"Long live the Changjiu Foundation!"
