Volume 1: Mortal Dust Chapter 5: The Old Man

Li Zhong followed behind the young man, looking up and down at the young man in front of him, with short black hair and a bird-shaped ornament in his left ear, he was tall.

Footsteps on the stairs, almost no sound, when going upstairs with legs, the upper body is basically nothing, at first glance is a person with a kung fu foundation, although I don't know what kind of kung fu he learned, but when I think of his smiling face, I always feel that it doesn't look like a famous and decent family.

This office building is not high, a few minutes later, the two came to the top floor, the staircase on the top floor is sealed, separated by an iron door, the young man stood in front of the door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the iron door a few times, made a few metal sounds, only to hear a "click", the iron door slowly opened.

The door in front of him really made Li Zhong secretly frightened, from the outside, it was no different from an ordinary ordinary iron office door, and the side saw that the door panel was at least 10 cm thick, and a rough observation should be made of composite metal, and he said in his heart: "If I go in, there is an ambush inside, and it will be miserable to close the door and beat the dog." ”

Li Zhong thought of this in his heart, and wanted to give up this operation for the time being and prepare to escape, but as soon as his body moved, the young man in front of him suddenly turned his head, looked at himself, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand that was originally inserted in his pocket was also taken out and clenched into a fist, as if he dared to move, I would dare to move your posture.

Seeing this, Li Zhong said in his heart: "You are staring at me like this, where do I dare to move," dispelled the idea of escaping

Seeing that Li Zhong's body relaxed, the young man no longer stared at Li Zhong, and walked in first, looking at Li Zhong's movements, probably judging that he would not take action for the time being.

Li Zhong did not follow behind the young man, but first observed, the scene inside was nothing, it was an ordinary conference room structure, the floor inside had changed from the tiles of the staircase to a dark floor, and a crystal lamp above the conference table illuminated the entire room, which looked a bit of a high-end atmosphere.

The rest is the conference table that fills the field of vision, except for the one directly above the conference table, etc., the other positions are not illuminated, and all sides are pitch black, visually, as if there is only this table in the whole room, there are many seats around the table, and there are name tags placed in front of each seat.

Although the conference room is not big, there are a lot of doors, in addition to the door behind him, there are two doors, one on the side, the other is directly opposite, just look at the style and the door you come in is still different, in addition to your own door, the other two should be normal office doors.

When Li Zhong was observing, he didn't notice that the door behind him was slowly closing, making a crisp sound, and Li Zhong knew in his heart that he was completely locked inside.

Now in the conference room, in addition to Li Zhong and the young man who led the way, there is another person, that person is sitting in the position of the presiding officer of the meeting, his arms are propped up on the table, his hands are crossed, his chin is supported, and he looks at Li Zhong with interest, his facial features are not very handsome and handsome, but his eyes are extraordinarily bright, and his long black hair is draped over his shoulders.

Li Zhong wanted to take a look at his name tag, but found that on all the seats, only there was no name tag in front of him, and his name could not be seen, Li Zhong had already guessed his identity in his heart, and looked at his name tag to the side, there were many seats, about 15 or so, but there were only 6 positions with names, and they were scattered in various positions without any regularity.

The young man who brought Li Zhong up hung Li Zhong at the door, stepped forward from the left aisle, walked to the position of a blank nameplate, picked up the blank nameplate from the table, and threw it into the trash can behind without looking back, and then reached out from the drawer of the conference table, took out a new nameplate, threw it on the table, looked up at Li Zhong, and pointed to the seat, obviously letting Li Zhong sit over.

After doing these things, the young man walked to a seat next to him, sat on the chair, and grinned at himself, still the kind of smile that was not smiling and lifeless in his eyes, no matter how Li Zhong looked at it, he felt a little scary.

Li Zhong really didn't like this smile in his heart, so he could only look away, not looking at him, but looking at the famous brand in front of him, Jing Yier.

Li Zhong is very unfamiliar with this name, he has not been in contact with many people with the surname Jing, they are all tricks, the name has long been forgotten, but the name Jing Yier will be unforgettable.

Then Li Zhong looked at the new name tag that had just been thrown on the table, it was not someone else, it was his own name, Li Zhong, think about it, Jing Yier let himself sit over there, can he still write someone else's name?

Probably understood what the situation was, Li Zhong didn't make a sound, walked over to his position, began to close his eyes and recuperate, and didn't talk to the other two people.

Li Zhong secretly calculated, if you come, you will be safe, don't look at the total three doors, the one at the door, he will definitely not be able to break through, the other two doors, one should be a side door, not everyone can swagger in from the office building like himself.

As for the other one, Li Zhong had several guesses in his heart, but there was too little information to determine, but what he could determine was that it was definitely not an escape route.

This scene is very unusual, whether it is the sound of the footsteps when they land, or the long and steady breathing, they make themselves very vigilant.

As early as when Jing Yier entered the door, he found out that something was wrong, and he thought that if he didn't do this operation, he would be a failure, and as soon as the storm stopped tonight, he suddenly acted, and the prison people didn't react in time, and there was still a chance that they could run out, even if they would be injured, it was better than dying here.

But after thinking about it, even if he escaped from the prison, what would happen to the sea, but the body had a conditioned reflex at some times, and when the idea of the brain was formed, the state of the body had been adjusted, and when Li Zhong denied the choice of escaping in his mind, the body was in a state where he could escape at any time.

At this time, Jing Yier's steps towards the door obviously paused, but then because of Li Zhong's abandonment, his physical state naturally changed, and Jing Yier's pace also returned to normal, and Li Zhong saw these situations in his eyes.

And when he was at the door, Li Zhong still wanted to try it once, this time Jing Yier was obviously not hiding it, if you dare to move, I will make a move, the two situations are put together, Li Zhong didn't think that he could win this Jing Yier head-on, and now he can only follow the development and take one step at a time.

When Li Zhong was still worried about his little life, there was a sound of the door opening in his ears, and he turned to the side to take a look, and several people entered from the side door one after another, and when he saw one of them, Li Zhong was shocked, why is this old thing here.

A total of four people came in from the side door, two men and two women, the man who entered the door first was tall and strong, wearing a pure black vest on his upper body, the muscle lines were clearly visible, a scar extended from the left ear to the right corner of the mouth, his eyes showed a fierce light, and there was a deep-rooted bloody gas on his body, very much like a strong man who had retreated from the battlefield, and it was very difficult to provoke.

Followed by a tall woman, wearing sportswear, a short ponytail tied behind her head, her figure can't see anything, she looks very heroic, there is no soft and smooth face line on the side of ordinary girls, but it is more angular, and her pace is symmetrical, and she can organize an attack or defense at any time.

followed by a petite girl, who looked very cute, with a lollipop in her mouth, and her height looked like about one and a half meters, but the bust was very spectacular, Li Zhong hurriedly shifted his gaze, and complained to himself in his heart: "When is it, I still have the heart to look at this." ”

When she gathered her mind and was about to take a closer look, the girl winked at Li Zhong before walking to her place.

And the last person is also the only one Li Zhong knows.

This old man who was bent over and expressionless, Li Zhong knew him, but he didn't know Li Zhong, it happened three years ago.

At that time, I took over the master's task, went to a village to steal a piece of porcelain, spent a few days stepping on it, found out the location of the thing, and hunted rabbits in the woods not far from the village, killing time, and preparing to "get" it in the evening.

In the evening, I changed my outfit and carefully touched in, only to find that the whole village was silent, as if there was no one alive.

A few nights ago, I also entered the village, after all, to be familiar with the night route, there will always be the sound of the people in the village, there are men in the village drinking together in the mountains, there are also children with their wives in the middle of the night, often there will be a dog barking, the result is the whole village is the sound of dogs barking.

Even if it is late at night, there is the sound of cicadas, but tonight, except for the sound of the wind, there is no other sound, this is summer, there is no sound of insects, all the way forward in fear, and when I came to the master of the porcelain, my heart was even more vigilant to the extreme.

I turned over the yard, touched the door of the house, and was about to enter the house to see if the things were still there, when I suddenly felt a chill, and subconsciously turned sideways, a cold light passed through the glass window, accompanied by the sound of glass breaking, brushed my body, and disappeared into the night.

This time I knew that I had met a master, and immediately turned over and ran out of the yard, without looking back and running back, the sound of glass breaking was very harsh during the day, not to mention that at night, people may sleep to death, but the dog who guarded the yard did not bark, it seems that they were all poisoned.

I only heard the sound of "da da da" behind him, the murderer had chased all the way over, and took advantage of the moonlight to look back a few times, it was actually a small old man, with a white beard, looking not young, but his skills were very fast, and the speed was on par with himself, and he saw that the old man took out a flying knife in his hand, and he ran extremely fast.

The old man kept chasing after him, and kept chasing him until he ran into the woods, and then stopped, and threw four more throwing knives along the way, if he hadn't used a dagger himself, and he was often practiced by the master, he would have died there at that time.

At that time, the weather was good, taking advantage of the moonlight, he hid behind the tree before he dared to lean out and take a closer look, the other party was an old man who looked over 60 years old, full of gray hair, even the beard was gray, one hand was holding a short flying knife, and the other hand was the porcelain he wanted to steal.

I only saw the old man's eyebrows locked, as if thinking about something, he was still young at the time, and he was naturally curious in his heart, and when he was ready to continue to observe, he saw the old man, walking in place twice, as if calculating something, he saw that he didn't seem to be discovered, and he was relieved, at this time, the old man turned around, raised his hand and shook it violently, and he quickly retracted his head immediately, and a flying knife slashed along his cheek.

This time, he ran all the way without looking back, and he didn't care whether the other party chased him or not, and ran out from the other side of the forest until he was completely relieved.

The task failed, Hui Qi and the master always had to have an explanation, from the beginning to the end of the matter to the master to explain the matter, the old man's appearance also described, only to hear the master said, "Evil, sometimes there must be in life, there is no time in life to force it, forget it." ”

After that, the master never explained to himself who this old man was, and even if he knocked on the side later, the master did not mention the matter, and the porcelain matter was over, not only that, until the end, the master didn't even tell himself what was in the porcelain, and the mystery has continued until now.

It wasn't until later that I passed near the village, when I had lunch on the way, I heard the conversation of the people next to me talk about this village, saying that the people in the village were all dead, I don't know what they ate, they were all poisoned and died, anyway, no living creature in the village was spared, and someone came to investigate the case, saying that it was the tragedy caused by eating poison by mistake.

At that time, I realized what the evil in the master's mouth meant, although I have seen this thing for a long time, I have never forgotten it, and I didn't expect to meet this person here.

Although Li Zhong recognized the old man, he was silent on the surface, although he was masked at the time, but in case there were traces to follow, there was no way to run here, so it was better to talk less and try not to attract his attention.

Li Zhong thought about it for a while, since he appeared here, the few people who followed him must also have no fuel-efficient lamps, not to mention good people and bad people, at least their skills will definitely not be worse than themselves, and he secretly complained in his heart, when the master let himself come out, he also told himself to be careful in everything, there are many masters in the world, don't have a little ability to see no one.

Lip profuse but promised the master that he would definitely act cautiously, subconsciously, he still didn't take it seriously, if he was a little cautious, he could notice that there were many strange things in this prison, and he couldn't stand scrutiny at all.

As a result, this kind of mentality has put itself in danger, and the previous tasks have been too smooth, and the contacts are ordinary people, and when there are really strong people involved, the means of head-to-head confrontation are still not enough.

Although Li Zhong was annoyed by his recklessness in his heart, since the matter had happened, Li Zhong decided that this time would be a test for himself, and from now on he would correct his mentality and work hard to get through this difficulty.

And the young man who had been observing Li Zhong on the side also leaked a smile of unknown meaning at this moment.
