Chapter 5: The Second Attack

"The above is the process of the establishment of our special incident handling team to deal with the key cause, do you still have any doubts, our organization is supported by the agency, you can rest assured. Ma Cheng took over after Zhang Wanjun finished talking about what happened.

Xi Fei thought for a while, and still didn't trust Ma Cheng in front of him, who had never explained his specific identity, but he didn't say it, after all, even the authorities trusted him very much, so what qualifications did he have to doubt him.

"What are you telling me all this for?" Why did they explain me in such detail as an outsider?

Zhang Wanjun adjusted his sitting posture to face Xi Fei and sat upright, and said solemnly: "I want you to join us." ”

"What?" said Xi Fei in surprise.

"I want you to join us as 'insiders'. Zhang Wanjun emphasized again in an accentuated tone.

"Why? I'm not interested in any of your insiders, and I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I don't know what your plans are at the moment, besides, if I join you, it means that I will intervene in this mysterious serial attack, in case I become the target of the mastermind, then I am not very dangerous, I don't want to be involved, after all, I have my own life, I came to this city with my own very important private purpose, if I join you I may be out of the peaceful life I have now, and I may even lose the original purpose of coming to this city。 Xi Fei refused Zhang Wanjun's invitation without thinking.

Ma Cheng sighed and said faintly: "Do you think you can return to a normal life now, just because you have awakened your heart lock now, you have completely escaped the track of returning to normal life." From the moment you're attacked by a nightmare, you're already in the game. ”

It's not that Xi Fei didn't take this into account, since he had a heart lock, he was no longer an ordinary person. He also had those illusory heroic dreams, dreaming that he would become a demon slaying hero, save the world, save the beauty of heroes, and receive thousands of worship, thinking, at that moment, how proud and vain his heart was, I am afraid that every man is looking forward to that moment in his heart. After all, a dream is a dream, and it is destined to be shattered by reality, his former heroic dream has been consumed in the frustration of reality again and again, and now, he can barely survive, and it is already very good to live like a person, and then he directly lost his dreams, became a puppet of reality, became a puppet of life, a puppet manipulated by the dull fate of the underworld, and the word dream has become a luxury for the former Xi Fei. If it weren't for the pursuit of what he loved in his heart and the clear goal of his life, I was afraid that I might always be a walking corpse without independent thoughts.

And until yesterday, I had already planned my future life path, worked hard, pursued happiness, and then lived my own small life in peace and happiness. Who would have thought that the peaceful life path he had planned would be broken because of his own drinking a glass of wine and a soak of urine, Xi Fei felt that he had already broken away from the shackles of the established fate, but in the end there were signs of being controlled by fate again, Xi Fei's heart felt panicked, and, annoyed. I have obviously decided to break away from the fate of ** and take control of my own life, how can I go back to that kind of life.

Therefore, Xi Fei has a kind of luck psychology at the moment, it is just an attack, the established life he planned may not be broken, he can still return to normal life, as long as he does not release the ability to lock his heart, and he will never release the figurative colossus again, except for a few people present now, no one will find anything abnormal about me, I can still pursue my dreams and make friends in this new city, I can even pursue Miss Orange boldly with confidence, I can have peace and happiness. So, no matter what these people say to me, I can't shake my determination. Once I take this step, I may have to live in the shadows for the rest of my life.

"So what, only a few of you know that I have this ability, as long as I don't deliberately contact you weirdos in the next few days, and don't show my ability, how can other ordinary people know that I am not a normal person. I can still live a normal life as long as I want to. Xi Fei was firm in his convictions, and his tone could not be refuted.

"The key to awakening is not that you can return to normal life if you want to, as if fate is working against us, although we have been trying, but in the end we have this ability that is destined to make us unordinary. There was a strong sense of powerlessness in Ma Cheng's tone.

"I've already decided for myself, and no matter how much you persuade me, I won't join you. ”

"You have to think about it, this is a special time, and we both need each other the most. Zhang Wanjun intended to stay. Xi Fei, a supernumerary of unknown origin, spoke politely to Ma Cheng. But for the real policeman in front of him, Xi Fei is still a little measured, and he has a natural good impression of the police, the umbrella of the people, so he spoke a lot more politely: "I'm sorry, Officer Zhang, I've already decided, I want to try to see if I can return to normal life first, I appreciate your kindness." ”

Zhang Wanjun and Ma Cheng sighed helplessly, Zhang Wanjun handed Xi Fei a wallet, Xi Fei opened the wallet, and there was a plastic card the size of a business card, and the card said "INSIDE, insider, Xi Fei", Xi Fei looked at this card in surprise and looked at Zhang Wanjun.

"You take this certificate first, and then you will definitely be useful, as long as it is the city's agency personnel, seeing this certificate, it will be convenient for you, and also, let's leave each other's contact information first, if necessary, you can call me." Zhang Wanjun's gentle tone made Xi Fei unable to refuse, Xi Fei could only stretch out his hand to take this document, it seems that they have classified him into the organization of "people in the bureau" in their hearts.

Ma Cheng said earnestly: " Remember, if you encounter other keys again, remember to suppress your anger, I know that although you are a person who usually behaves not angry, but your heart is really accumulated too much fire, which is also the source of your strength, but you must not rely too much on your anger, anger or disturb your thinking, interfere with your judgment, this is very fatal to the battle between the keys, you can not be so lucky every time to defeat a concrete body, the ability of the heart lock between each key is not the same, when you first encounter a key, you can not immediately judge the ability of the other party's heart lockIt is impossible to have too much time to slowly ponder the opponent's ability, so you have to grasp every opportunity to act in battle, to accurately judge every action of the opponent, the purpose of each action, of course, this kind of opportunity needs to be created by yourself, you must accurately judge the ability from the opponent's actions in the shortest possible time, if the judgment is wrong, then it is possible to judge the opponent's ability again without a chance, therefore, you can't waste your limited time on meaningless anger. This is crucial and you should remember whenever and wherever you are. ”

"I know..."

Before Xi Fei could answer, Ma Cheng snatched the words back: " Another point, after you release the embodiment through the heart lock, you must take the heart lock back, retracting the heart lock will not affect the body will not affect your body release ability, if the heart lock is not hidden, then this will be the goal of the other party, once the other party says that your heart lock is controlled, or destroyed, then this will be a fatal blow to you, I said, the heart lock is not only the release medium in you, but also equivalent to your own brain, heart, all attacks on the heart lock will have a certain embodiment in you, the heart lock is destroyed, you yourself will be greatly affected, light injury, heavy death, Even if you were lucky enough to suffer some minor injuries at that time, after the heart lock was destroyed, you will forever lose the opportunity to awaken the heart lock again, you will always lose this ability, in the process of fighting, once you lose the ability of the heart lock, unless you yourself have outstanding ability," Ma Cheng subconsciously glanced at Zhang Wanjun when he said this sentence again, and then immediately shifted his gaze back to Xi Fei, "Otherwise, when facing the key, ordinary people can't be enemies of the key at all, and you must keep this in mind." ”

I hate this Ma Cheng a lot, but, for Ma Cheng's heartfelt words, I am not a person who does not know good and bad, and I also know what is a good word and what is a bad word, and I still reluctantly expressed my gratitude to Ma Cheng for his teaching.

"Be careful when you go out, if there is any danger, call in time, we will help you as soon as possible. Zhang Wanjun told again.

Xi Fei was silent for a while, thinking to himself why they wanted to join this so-called "insider" so much, and then said the doubts in his heart: "You, why do you want me to be like this, let me be an ordinary person who doesn't know anything, doesn't understand anything, but has just awakened and locked his heart for less than a day to join your insider? I don't think I have any specialty, is it just because I'm a key?"

"This is just one of the reasons," Zhang Wanjun's eyes flashed with a glint of appreciation," Mainly because of your qualities, you have a determined quality, you can bravely break out of your old life for an ethereal goal that has not yet been determined, this is a kind of courage, you can be angry at the injustice suffered by others, it is a kind of justice, you can come up with a way to change your situation when you are oppressed, this is a kind of wisdom, these three qualities alone, plus you have awakened your heart now, can already be the reason for us to recruit you. ”

Courage, justice, and wisdom are never qualities that appear in oneself in one's opinion. An ethereal goal? That's not an ethereal goal, Miss Orange has become the ultimate pursuit of her life, how can a clear goal be illusory? Justice, I just can't look at it, I'm very angry to stand up for my classmates, of course, I was betrayed by this classmate who was out of my head in the end. As for the wisdom he said, I have been oppressed by school violence for so long, so miserable, people are forced to be anxious, and naturally they will want to find a way to interfere with their own situation. It's the first time I've been praised like this, otherwise I'm a little fluttering, and I have a great impression of the criminal police captain in front of me.

"I hope that you will always keep these three points, which will be very helpful for all the changes that may arise for you in the future, and for the people around you in the future, which will also become a source of strength for you, replacing the anger that you are now hoarding in your heart. ”

"I, I'll try my best, I'm very grateful for your recognition of me, really, the first time you said these words to me since I was a child, your words gave me a lot of motivation," Xi Fei hesitated, "But I still want to return to normal life, so I may have to live up to your kindness." ”

"It's okay, I'm sure you'll think about it seriously when you go back, we can wait for you, if you figure it out, just call this number. ”

"Well, I'll seriously consider it. Xi Fei glanced at his phone, "Damn, it's 2 o'clock now!" I'm going to be late for the first day of work, I have to hurry, where do I get out?" But why didn't the company call? Look at the mobile phone signal, 0 bars.

"Oh, I remembered, blocked the signal," Ma Cheng patted his head, "Look at my memory." ”

Ma Cheng snapped his fingers, and the cell phone signal was restored in an instant.

Originally, Xi Fei had improved a little favor in Ma Cheng's earnest teaching just now, but the goodwill that he had accumulated so hard disappeared in an instant, this guy really missed my big thing. Xi Fei glared at Ma Cheng fiercely.

"Where is your company's address, I'll send you there. Ma Cheng suggested in order to make up for Xi Fei's little loss.

Xi Fei gave Ma Cheng the address, Ma Cheng looked at it, and then there was no movement.

"Aren't you going to send me? If you don't want to send me, just say it, there's no need to waste my time, I can go by myself. Xi Fei was a little annoyed.

"He's taking you to where you work. Chen Rui on the side accosted.

"What do you mean?"

"That's his heart-locking ability, and we're in a car. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning, well, how to say, he can create and release his own embodiment in a limited relatively enclosed space, he calls this embodiment 'moving castle', as the name suggests, it is an independent space that will change its position with his horse city, this space is as huge as a castle, we are now in his mobile castle, but this embodiment must be in a space that is not too large, for example, a car. ”

"Oh, I see, if he can manipulate certain things in this mobile castle, like making a chain attack someone like a living thing. Xi Fei remembered that he had just been inexplicably bound by iron chains in the prison, and even his heart locks were wrapped in Ma Cheng's wires, and they described that all the guns of the criminal police were quietly taken away by the chairs they were sitting on during the case meeting.

"Yes. ”

Xi Fei broke out in a cold sweat, as long as he was still in his embodied body, that didn't mean that he could use everything in the moving castle to attack him at any time, then he was really unguardable, theoretically speaking, everything in this independent space was Ma Cheng's weapon, he now felt a little afraid of his previous reckless behavior, if Ma Cheng dealt with himself seriously, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago.

"Here, I hope you'll give serious consideration to our proposal when you get out. Ma Cheng interrupted Xi Fei's thoughts.

"I'll think about it. "I think about it, I don't want to set foot in this horrible place again.

Ma Cheng led Xi Fei to the exit.

Through the open door, it is really to the place where Xi Fei interviewed yesterday, imagine that you are now in a huge space, after opening the door, there is a tall office building opposite, facing each other between the two huge buildings, and the distance between them is not even 10 meters, which is incredible.

Xi Fei stepped out of the door with one foot, the car on the road outside was boiling, he poked his head out, looked back, it was really a car, the curious Xi Fei retracted his head again, the space inside the door was far larger than the volume of the car observed from the outside, incredible.

Xi Fei left the car and watched the car leave.

Xi Fei, who got out of the car, sighed at the wonderful experience from last night to just now, shook his head, and decided to bury all this deep in his heart and no longer think about these things, after all, he wants to live, and he has to live his own peaceful but happy little life seriously.

Sure enough, he was reprimanded by the leader: "I was absent from work for half a day on the first day of work, is this your attitude towards work!"

Finally got off work, Xi Fei returned to the hotel where he stayed exhausted, rested for a while, and prepared to find a house.

After finding an agent on the Internet to discuss the matter of renting a house, it was getting late, and Xi Fei felt hungry. After cleaning up, Xi Fei was ready to go out to eat and deal with it. How is this process so similar to last night? Xi Fei kept an eye on it, he would definitely no longer go to those dark corners where birds don't, he must take the main road, a place with a lot of people, come back after eating, and definitely not stay outside for too long.

I sent a message to Miss Orange, but I still didn't reply, since I got off the plane yesterday, she didn't reply to all the messages sent to Miss Orange, but he was also used to it, there had been this situation before, and the messages sent didn't reply for a few days, after all, people also have their own things, everything takes into account Xi Fei, and Xi Fei is not a self-centered person, so he has never complained about Miss Orange, so he still glances at the information every ten minutes, people in love are like this, or rather, people in unrequited love are like this。

Outside the hotel, an SUV was parked on the side of the road, and several people in the car whispered.

"Checked out, are you sure someone is in there?"

"Sure, room 308 on the third floor, people are hiding there, good guy, this bastard is going to fucking give us a good look. ”

"This bastard must be an internal ghost, who leaked their actions, and as far as he is a survivor, how could he be so lucky to escape the catastrophe, how can there be such a coincidence, and he has not gone back to explain what happened, and he has not even handed over the money, it must be that he embezzled it!"

"Then we have to let him know that our guild is not so easy to bully, this time not only let him spit out the money, but also let him explain the identity of the other party. ”

"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, *** press it, do things neatly, don't leave any little tails. ”

"Good!"

Several people in the car took out their pistols, checked the **, pressed the muzzle of the ***, got out of the car, and walked into the hotel in turn as if nothing had happened.

"Hello and welcome. "The beautiful front desk lady has a sweet smile, which makes people look so pleasing to the eye, but these people in front of them don't have the heart to appreciate this vase. If you go directly to find someone, I am afraid that you will be hindered by the front desk, especially in a slightly larger hotel like this, which is generally symbolically equipped with a few security personnel who do not play a big role, despite this, in order not to impress the hotel staff, so as to facilitate them to solve the matter and leave too many investigation clues for the police, they still check in one after another like ordinary travelers, in order to find an opportunity to solve their own affairs.

After checking in, several people pretended to go back to their respective rooms, and after a telephone exchange, several people ran to the public restroom on their respective floors to change their clothes, and gathered at the door of room 308 on the third floor.

This kind of hotel is a service that specializes in delivering food to the room, which has been investigated by several people before.

"Tuk tuk. Hello, the front desk service, the meal delivered to you has arrived, please open the door. ”

A visitor's voice came from behind the door: "I didn't call for a meal, are you mistaken?"

"Well, I'll take a look. It's the meal you ordered. Why don't you check it out for yourself, we can't make a mistake. ”

The room hesitated for a few seconds, and then the sound of the door opening.

The moment the door was opened, a man kicked the door open, and then several people swarmed in, and the last one to enter closed the door.

After Xi Fei finished eating, he began to return to the hotel.

Back in his room, Xi Fei couldn't help but recall what had happened in the past two days, but quickly put them behind him.

"Hey, it's 970 yuan a day, and I'm afraid I'm going to go bankrupt after staying in this hotel for two days, and I'll have to move to a rental house tomorrow." Xi Fei began to feel sorry for his little savings.

After taking a comfortable shower, Xi Fei's mood was much better, it was already 8:20 in the evening, usually this time was the most exciting time, but what happened in the past two days really made him exhausted, he decided to sleep now, sleep until dawn, leave all the worries until today, and start tomorrow to return to normal life.

No matter whether people's fate is predestined or not, even if they try their best to avoid it, they will always subconsciously embark on this road of fate. What does this mean? Xi Fei's room is on the third floor of the hotel, and the room number is 307.

At this moment, Xi Fei didn't know that in the room next to him, an intra-gang struggle was being staged that he would only see in film and television works, but the seemingly weak side had already occupied the home field with an overwhelming advantage at the moment.

"Chirp!"

It's only March, and even if Xinzhou is located in the southern part of the mainland, it won't be so early in the mosquito season. Xi Fei thought about it, but soon sleepiness hit his heart again.

"Boom!"

What is the next door doing? Such a big movement? Xi Fei, who was about to fall asleep, woke up again, and let people not sleep, and I didn't hear that the next door was being renovated? Even if the renovation is considered a rest time at this point, it is impossible for a hotel of this size to start construction without disturbing the passengers.

"Damn!" Xi Fei took out earplugs, plugged his ears, and lay down again.

"Bang !!"

The wall shook, and wisps of dust fell on Xi Fei's face, and as soon as Xi Fei inhaled, a wisp of dust got in.

"Ahem! What the let..." Before Xi Fei got up, he subconsciously reached out and turned on the lamp on the bedside table, ready to scold, but he held back stiffly. Xi Fei's action at the moment is lying flat on the bed, facing the ceiling, but he can't see the ceiling in front of him, but an object that looks like a butt wearing slacks, the object is hanging on the wall like this, and it squirms from time to time, and with the squirming of this object, the wall is still squirming and falling dust on the top of Xi Fei's head,

"Poofβ€”β€”!" The butt-like object made a wilting sound, and then a foul stench hit me. It's not an ass-like object, it's an ass!

"Mom! It's haunted!" Xi Fei exclaimed, got up and sat up, just got up and hit his ass with his face, I don't know where a muffled scream came from, Xi Fei hurriedly moved beyond the end of the bed, then got up and quickly put on clothes, and then went to study the ass.

"Is it a human or a ghost?"

"you, of course it's people!"

"Damn, then why did you pretend to be a fool and poke your ass into my room?"

"Eh, brother do me a favor, we have a ** trouble here, please call the police!"

"What's annoying?"

Before the other party could answer, his ass retracted, as if he had been vigorously dragged back by someone else, leaving a hole in the wall the same size as his buttocks, and all kinds of strange sounds came from the hole, including screams, the sound of objects crashing, and the sound of "chirp! chirp!" he had just heard. The sound was a lot like the sound of those muffler-mounted gunshots on TV!

Xi Fei finally realized at this moment that he was afraid that he was involved in something troublesome again!

Again, human curiosity is unstoppable, and Xi Fei, driven by curiosity, slowly approached the hole in the wall and peeked into the hole.

Xi Fei regretted it.

What he glimpsed in the cave was the third anomaly he had seen since he came to the city!

The scene in the cave is terrifying, there are three people lying on the ground, those three people are already motionless, I don't know if they are dead or fainted, one of them is facing the ground, pouting on his ass, his butt is full of white gray dust, this should be the owner of the ass just now. There were two other people still standing, one leaning against the balcony with a pistol equipped with a muffler in his hand, the other standing on the bed against the wall, shivering, and the other with his back to Xi Fei, his body wrapped in a thick black liquid like oil that emitted an unpleasant smell, and only one head leaked out.

It seems that this person should be in control of the scene now.

The leader threw a punch at the person standing on the bed 2 meters away from him, and the black liquid attached to his arm suddenly grew, and the shaking of the locked arm hit the opponent.

The other party was smothered to the ground by the suddenly elongated black fist, and lost consciousness.

The man with a muffled pistol leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony shuddered and fired two shots at the darkened leader, the bullets quickly blended into the opponent's body covered in black liquid, and then the bullets were discharged from the opponent's feet covered in black slime.

The man with the pistol was stunned by the scene before him and intended to fire a few more shots.

"Boom!"

There was a crisp sound of the trigger, but nothing was coming out of the muzzle. The bullets have run out.

The leader sneered, and punched again, the black slime instantly extended, and the black fist hit the other party, and the opponent's body flew backwards suddenly, shattering the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony, and then fell downstairs.

After dealing with these people, the leader slowly turned his head and looked at Xi Fei outside the hole.

"Unlock!" Xi Fei hurriedly opened the heart lock, and the figure of the colossus immediately appeared.

"After you have released the embodiment through the heart lock, you must take the heart lock back. Ma Cheng's words came to Xi Fei's mind. I really didn't expect to use this ability again so soon.

After unlocking the lock, Xi Fei quickly hid the heart lock to avoid being attacked by the other party.

After seeing Xi Fei open the heart lock and summon an elephant body, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then showed a playful smile: "It turns out that you also have this kind of lock, and you have never had the opportunity to test the power of my 'tar', so you should be my first opponent first!"

Xi Fei's heart froze, it seemed that the other party didn't plan to let him go.

I didn't expect the second attack, the second attack from the key to come so quickly!
