Chapter 124 The price of secret art
The cute Q doll holding a kitchen knife, with scarlet eyes, waved the kitchen knife aggressively, trying hard to break free from Xu Bai's grasp, and rushed into the building in front of him.
Xu Bai held the doll with one hand, and looked up with the other.
Not far in front, there is a steelmaking plant located in the old city, close to the Taiwu River, but it was abandoned due to policy reasons as early as ten years ago, and it came into view.
Xu Bai let go of his right hand and let the puppet in his hand fall to the ground.
The moment the cute Q doll landed on the ground, its feet seemed to be equipped with motors, rattling, waving the kitchen knife in its hand, and ran into it in just a blink of an eye. Inside the abandoned steelworks where the security guards have been removed.
Xu Bai raised his foot and followed the puppet's footsteps.
Not for a while.
The puppet wielding a kitchen knife came directly to the steel factory dormitory, but at this moment, it has also been abandoned. It looks like a haunted house, and then rushed in.
Next second.
An exclamation came from the third floor of the dormitory floor.
"What is this... ah."
"catch him."
"He cut me."
"quick."
"Caught it."
"Boom!"
"..."
Xu Bai stopped at the entrance of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, feeling the disconnected puppet, raised his head towards the swearing, and looked at the approaching second floor passage.
Instantly.
His gaze collided with two men who were covering his right arm and the other was holding his doll.
『Name: "Zhang San"』
『Level: "Twenty-Three"』
『Sect: "Dahuang Shengjiao"』
『Friendship: "0"』
『…』
『Name: "Li Si"』
『Level: "Twenty-Three"』
『Sect: "Dahuang Shengjiao"』
『Friendship: "0"』
『…』
The six eyes met, and they were speechless for a moment.
Next second.
Four eyes come back to life.
Zhang San and Li Si looked at Xu Bai who appeared at the stairs, and after regaining their senses, they looked at each other, and then looked at Xu Bai with a swish.
"Who are you…"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In the room on the fourth floor, Zuo Lei, who was pale and recovering from his wounds, could not help but open his eyes when he heard the movement from outside, and looked at a disciple of the Holy Cult standing in the room protecting him: "Go outside Take a look."
The Holy Cult disciple nodded and walked towards the door.
Open the door.
A cute Q doll instantly appeared in front of his eyes.
Next second.
The kitchen knife in the puppet's hand raised and fell, and directly stabbed the disciple of the Holy Cult in the chest.
The disciple of the Holy Cult was stunned for a moment, looking at the cute Q doll that appeared in front of him, then his eyes gradually moved up, and fell on the handsome face holding the cute Q doll, and then, he felt a cramping pain in his chest , and then rolled his eyes, and fell backwards with a plop.
Xu Bai retracted the puppet, glanced at the kitchen knife with some heart fragments on it, frowned, threw the puppet aside, then stepped over the corpse with his right foot, walked into the room, and turned his gaze It landed on Zuo Lei who was sitting cross-legged on a futon, posing in a practice posture, and quickly recovering from his injuries.
Zuo Lei got up subconsciously.
Xu Bai smiled, and slightly pressed his right hand.
"Sit down, don't get up, it's not good if the injury is serious."
"..."
Zuo Lei hesitated for a moment, sat cross-legged again, quickly recovered from his injury, looked at Xu Bai who folded his arms and looked at the room environment after saying this, and said in a deep voice: "Are you who."
Xu Bai found a chair that looked clean, his eyes lit up, he pulled it over, leaned on the chair, sat down, listened to Zuo Lei's question, smiled, looked at Zuo Lei, lowered his head, and took the chair. He took off his mask: "Do you know me?"
Zuo Lei looked at Xu Bai after taking off the mask, his pupils constricted, and subconsciously stood up again.
"Yes!"
"sit down."
Xu Bai raised his right hand, turned with his inner breath, and pressed a phantom golden palm directly on Zuo Lei's shoulder, and pushed Zuo Lei back to his original position again: "Heal well, and by the way, answer a few questions for me. "
He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes this time.
You can hit it.
Death is fine.
First answer his questions, and then kill or cut something, and then watch it.
Zuo Lei's eyes were erratic.
Xu Bai ignored it.
"Zuo Lei, male, 42 years old, from Xinzhou, was wanted for kidnapping Su Ruyu 21 years ago. During the arrest process, he jumped into a river and disappeared."
Xu Bai looked at Zuo Lei, briefly said information about Zuo Lei, and then said: "Now, I know who you are, and I also know that you came here last night for Su Meng. You want to kidnap Su Meng. Why, she is your daughter."
At first, Zuo Lei, whose expression was cloudy and uncertain, turned dark when he heard Xu Bai's words, looked up at Xu Bai, and said coldly: "She is not my daughter."
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.
He said that on purpose just now, just to see how Zuo Lei would answer.
but…
This answer is actually not what Xu Bai wants to hear.
"Ding! 』
『Task replacement, open the third link of the task chain. 』
『Task Name: "An Uninvited Guest—Su Meng's Life Experience"』
『Task Difficulty: "S"』
『Mission description: "You found Zuo Lei, and you know why Zuo Lei kidnapped someone, but are you sure, what you know is the truth? Find out the truth."』』
『Task Rewards: "Character Experience*2W", "Skill Experience*2W", "Game Currency*2W"』
Access!
Xu Bai looked at the third ring task that popped up again after completing it. After regaining his senses, he chose to accept it. Then, looking at Zuo Lei, he frowned and said, "It's not your daughter, whose is it?"
There was a flash of pain on Zuo Lei's face, but he didn't say anything, he just glanced at Xu Bai, and snorted coldly: "Kill if you want, don't be hypocritical, you are from the Su Bancheng faction Let’s keep the mouth shut, and others, why didn’t he come to see me.”
Xu Bai shook his head: "Sorry, I have nothing to do with Su Bancheng."
Zuo Lei sneered, but didn't speak.
Xu Bai was not annoyed when he saw this, but his thoughts changed, and then he looked at Zuo Lei: "Then let me ask this question differently, how did you determine that Su Meng is not your daughter's? Why, have you done a paternity test?"
Zuo Lei sneered.
"I don't need a paternity test."
"What?"
"Because I am less refined!"
"..."
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows, looked at Zuo Lei who made the sound, then shook his head and said, "You are less refined, it is just less refined, not infertile, so you have no evidence to prove that Su Meng is not your daughter?"
That's it?
Hearing this answer, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Bai originally thought that Zuo Lei would say something shocking to the world, such as going home early one day, and ended up seeing a scene in his wedding room that he shouldn't have seen.
result?
Less precision?
What does this mean?
No wonder this guy went to the wilderness and joined some holy religion.
After all, holy religion.
Demon Cult.
There are a few normal-minded people who will join the Demon Cult.
Zuo Lei's face was gloomy.
Xu Bai looked at Zuo Lei with a relaxed expression, "That's the result? There is no proof, hehe, thanks to Su Bancheng calling me just now, he asked me to give up investigating this case, and he gave me a lot of money. I rejected them all, and it turned out to be a lunatic's imagination, a waste of time."
Hearing these words, Zuo Lei's expression changed.
"...you rejected Su Bancheng?"
"You do not believe?"
The corners of Xu Bai's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Zuo Lei.
Zuo Lei looked up at Xu Bai, and asked in a deep voice: "Yes, I don't believe it, unless you prove it to me."
Xu Bai snorted and got up from his seat: "I am an agent of Fengcheng. It is my duty to investigate and solve cases. No one has the qualifications and strength to ask me to stop the case I want to investigate. Similarly, I also You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. If you say it, I’ll turn you into a tainted witness at most. If you don’t say it, it has nothing to do with me. I’ll…”
Zuo Lei interrupted: "Okay, let me tell you why I said that."
Xu Bai took the handcuffs and was about to handcuff Zuo Lei's right hand. He paused slightly, raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zuo Lei, thought for a while, and put away his own handcuffs.
"Okay, you speak, I listen!"
"Xu... Agent Xu Bai, right?"
"yes."
"You are Su Meng's master, so you should know what the Su family is."
"You want to say, Tianjizong?"
"right!"
Zuo Lei nodded, looked at Xu Bai, and said in a deep voice: "Agent Xu, do you know that there is a price to be paid for practicing the secret technique and peeping at the secret? The deeper the secret, the higher the price."
Xu Bai said: "I know."
Su Meng mentioned it to him before.
However, he didn't ask in detail. First, he was not interested in Tianjishu, and second, he thought it was normal.
If you want to get something, you must give something.
This is the truth.
After all, not everyone has an external wall mount.
Thinking in his heart, Xu Bai looked at Zuo Lei: "What do you want to express when you say this?"
Zuo Lei looked at Xu Bai, gritted his teeth, and his eyes flashed with anger: "Because that old **** Su Mingli, in order to be able to break into the Nascent Soul Realm, after peeking at the secrets of heaven, he transferred the price to Ruyu on the body."
Xu Bai was slightly taken aback when he heard this sentence: "The price... can it be transferred?"
This is the first time he has heard of it.
In other words, if the price can be transferred at will, then the originally tasteless Tianjishu seems to become very popular all of a sudden.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows, to see if anyone was upset, and knowing that he couldn't kill him, he would take a peek at the secrets, take a big one, and then transfer the price to that guy.
In this way, wouldn’t it be killing people invisible?
Zuo Lei shook his head.
"The price of the secret technique cannot be transferred without blood relatives, and it also needs the willingness of the other party."
"That…"
"Yes, he transferred the price to Su Ruyu!"
"Wait a minute, Su Ruyu, dead?"
"No, she's not dead!"
"..."
