My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 91: Blood Debt

Pu Tong considered himself an ordinary person, with average ability and a bit of ambition, but not too strong. His biggest wish was to steadily improve and avoid making mistakes at work.

However, the arrival of a hot potato caused some fluctuations in his emotions.

In fact, he didn’t know that his higher-ups had arranged for Li Rui to be temporarily assigned to his team precisely because they saw him as dependable and honest.

But no matter the reason, he still felt somewhat nervous now.

"Boss, why do you keep staring at your phone? You’ve been absent-minded all morning."

As a team member fighting side by side, it was easy to notice the leader’s unusual behavior.

"It’s already the predicted time for Dalin City, I’m waiting for news from there," Pu Tong said.

"Waiting for what news?"

At this moment, a strong voice came, followed by the appearance of a dark-skinned, muscular, and tall, formidable woman. Her curly hair was carelessly tied at the back of her head, and her attire was purely functional sportswear, not caring about aesthetics at all.

"Yu Xin, our leader is obsessed. He’s been told to bring a Rain Summoner from the Baili Association, and he’s been murmuring ever since."

The woman named Yu Xin stared at Pu Tong and bluntly asked, "Who is it?"

"Oh, don’t listen to their nonsense. It’s just someone normally seconded here for training in the Northwest," Pu Tong helplessly replied, "Level 17, Rain Summoner, handling a Level 20 overlapping incident in Dalin City."

Yu Xin frowned and said, "It’s annoying how Old Yang always throws things like this at me, why doesn’t he take it himself?"

Old Yang was the president of Qing Garden City and the one who arranged this matter.

She dared to speak so openly in the office mainly due to her personality and partly because she was confident. Though she was just a leader of another action group, at her young age, she had already reached Level 34 and was one of those selected by the Qing Garden City branch to participate in the Secret Realm battlefield.

Such a person would be regarded as a treasure in any city-level branch. Even if that Yang president heard it, he would at most roll his eyes.

However, the others didn’t dare respond to such words, and Pu Tong chuckled awkwardly, "I’ll make a call to ask."

While he was dialing, Yu Xin asked a nearby team member, "That’s not right, why is that Rain Summoner, at Level 17, brought here so early? Isn’t it for preparing for the Secret Realm battlefield?"

The other person replied, "I heard that they came with two scions of noble families. Maybe they’re here for training, and there might be bodyguards in secret, so only the leader would worry."

After hearing this, Yu Xin, instead of showing disdain, nodded, "Then it’s fine. It’s best to have someone to clean up the mess."

She had no personal vendetta against individuals, but disliked people who came without discretion and messed things up, causing trouble for everyone. If they had bodyguards to ensure things were handled smoothly, it didn’t bother her.

At this point, Pu Tong hung up his phone, as he couldn’t get through.

"The signal over there is poor, or the overlapping incident has started, and the signal is being blocked."

While he was saying this, someone rushed in, asking, "Leader Pu, Leader Yu, do you have people supporting in Dalin City?"

Upon hearing this question, Pu Tong’s heart skipped a beat: "What happened?"

He was afraid the next words would be that Li Rui and the others had already perished.

The person laughed, "Why are you so tense? Two fugitives escaped from Old Zhang’s team in Xiaolin City, possibly heading to Dalin City, hoping to see if anyone is there to lend a hand."

Pu Tong slightly relaxed and replied, "There are people, but they can’t assist, you should ask other teams."

Yu Xin crossed her arms and asked, "Which direction did they escape?"

"It’s towards the shallow riverbed of the Gobi Desert."

Pu Tong’s slightly eased heart tightened again: "What did you say?"

He walked to the map of West Wind Province hanging on the wall and pointed to the vast desert north of Xiaolin City and Dalin City.

"Is it this direction?"

He gestured over it a few times with his hand.

The person who brought the message stared at the map for a while and nodded, "About right."

"Hiss."

Those in the know took a sharp breath.

Yu Xin asked, "What’s wrong?"

Pu Tong looked distressed: "Oh no, Li Rui and the others are in that direction. If the overlapping incident and fugitives meet, then what?"

"You should go there yourself, coordinate something and take a high-speed train quickly, it takes just an hour to get there."

"I have a task myself, I’m about to lead a team. Otherwise, I’d have long been there myself."

Pu Tong glanced at Yu Xin, "How about, Leader Yu, can you help?"

"Hm."

Yu Xin scratched her chin with a finger, and finally said, "It’s not impossible."

"Great, thank you, thank you. I’ll treat you to dinner later, and I’ll send you his photo in a while. Anyway, if there’s someone on the Gobi, it must be him."

And so, Yu Xin, who had just returned from another task, set out for the shallow riverbed of the northern Dalin City Gobi again.

...

The tumbleweed rolled freely across the barren Gobi Desert as two people squatted in the shadow of a bare rocky hill, investigating the traces left on the ground.

"Relieving themselves anywhere, really inconsiderate."

"Catch them and fine them two hundred before dealing with them."

The two seemed relaxed, even in the mood to joke. This was normal, as one was a Level 24 senior agent, the other a Level 20 Martial Monk. According to the intelligence, their targets were two people, both just over Level 20. There was no need to worry about the levels alone.

In such a situation, even if they couldn’t capture them on the spot, at least there was no danger, as those two illegal Secret Realm agents were on the run and certainly wouldn’t waste time.

This mindset persisted until a rotating Light-Forged Arrow shot over.

Boom!

Their crouching position was blown up by a force comparable to an RPG rocket.

However, the Level 20 Secret Realm agent had a chance to react, disappearing from the original spot in an instant.

Two other figures appeared in the place the two had just reconnoitered.

"Target located in Cliff Valley, repeat, target located in Cliff Valley, requesting support."

The message was sent out via the walkie-talkie, and the other chasing agents would soon arrive.

"Keep steady, delay first, ensure encirclement, we can’t let them escape again this time."

The senior agent said to the partner.

"Mm."

Both thought the same; letting two fugitives break through the first encirclement was already a mistake; they couldn’t fail this time.

However, unexpectedly, the two illegal agents, who were supposed to be using some means to hide, didn’t try to escape but moved in closer instead.

The senior agent shouted, "Drop your weapons and surrender, it’s your only way out."

One of the illegal agents laughed sinisterly, "It’s you who should surrender."

As he spoke, the skin on his face started to peel away.

"Shapeshifter?! Who are you really?!"

The senior agent realized there was a mistake in the intel; if there was such a shapeshifter, it implied that the target might not be what was previously assumed, and their initial escape might not have been purely due to tools or luck.

At this moment, the shapeshifter’s upper body transformed into a Tiger Demon.

The team leader felt a chill in his heart, he recognized this skill.

"You’re ’Blood Tiger’ Li Xiaolin!"

.....

On the Gobi Desert, two other teams also received the message from Cliff Valley and hurried to assist from their respective search areas.

They were all Extraordinaries, fast, taking only about ten minutes from receiving the message to reaching the target area; yet, they were still too late.

Sharp claw marks were everywhere, and the reporting senior agent and partner lay in pools of blood. Before dying, they struggled with their last breath to inform others of the true identity of the criminal.

The five people who came to support all wore grim expressions. One of them, an analyst, observed the traces of departure and reported, "One target is injured and headed north of Dalin City."

"Is there anyone deployed on that side?"

"No, but their people are on route."

"Get in contact quickly, we must catch them and avenge Brother Sun and Xiaoliang!"
