Chapter 222: The Bookworm (End)
After the earth-shattering roar, there was a long silence.
Tang Shui looked down at the huge pit under his feet, and the killer whose entire body was trapped in the pit, and couldn't help but swallow.
After knocking three capsules, the killer's strength and speed had surpassed the limits of the human body, but compared to it, Gu Yun's punch seemed to come from another dimension.
Smashing a huge crater into the ground, he thought it was just a scene that existed in special effects, but now it really happened in front of him.
Seeing this, the tall man in the distance directly pulled out his matching gun, and the action was smooth, he had completed the same action countless times, but this time it was ineffective.
Before his index finger could touch the trigger, his entire arm was held in his hand, and the other man took advantage of the situation, and his eyes spun around, and then the back of his head slammed into the dirt.
"Gu Yun, wait a minute!"
Seeing that Gu Yun raised his right hand again, Tang Shui hurriedly stopped, "These two people may know something inside." β
Things have evolved to such a point, Tang Shui can't care about hiding his identity, he never expected that the top killer of the reef would have no power to fight back in front of Gu Yun, but if this punch fell, he would miss the opportunity.
Carmen's purpose is not to deal with the killers of the two reefs, but to hide in the safe house as an "employer".
Although the process was unexpected, the other party unexpectedly pushed Gu Yun to his opposite.
"He's not like someone who leaks."
Gu Yun looked at the tall man for a moment, and after the latter was let go by him, his eyes looked straight ahead, even if death was imminent, his heart was extremely calm.
He neither speaks cruel words, nor kneels to beg for mercy.
This tall man seems to be just an empty shell, perhaps this is the emotionless killer that people often mention on the Internet.
"Give me a few minutes, and I'll do it."
Tang Shui hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and took out a thin book from the pocket on the inside of his clothes.
He bent down and placed the peeling book on the grass next to the tall man, and in a moment the blank paper began to wriggle, and then a white worm crawled out.
It's a risky move.
After all, they had approached the people around Gu Yun in this way not long ago, if Gu Yun became hostile to him, then he was afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of these two killers in a short time.
But if you don't, you won't be able to extract any useful information from the reef killers.
The killers of the reef have all undergone severe training in secrecy, and ordinary interrogation methods cannot make them let go.
"I know you have a lot of questions, let me finish the work first, and I'll explain it all to you in a while, and then I'll kill you and listen to it."
Gu Yun didn't speak, and watched the worm burrow into the tall man's clothes, and within three minutes, the worm crawled out and burrowed back into the thin book.
In the next second, the blank paper was filled with dense text.
Tang Shui roughly flipped through a few pages, revealing an expression that was indeed so, and when Gu Yun looked at the tall man again, he found that he was still staring at him with his eyes open, but his breathing had stopped.
"Your bugs poisoned him?"
Gu Yun frowned.
"This insect is not poisonous and harmless, even if it bites, the wound will heal completely within two days."
Tang Shui bent down and opened the tall man's mouth with his fingers, and there was still white powder left on his tongue, "This is the last resort of the reef killers, once they think that the organization's intelligence may be leaked, they will bite open the poison in their mouths...... It's a pity that I learned one step later. β
"What do you know?"
"It's too short a time to steal a small part of his news about the reef and his employer."
Seeing the contents of the thin book, Tang Shui finally understood the reason why the Taoist priest was killed.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest guessed correctly - this cemetery, in a sense, can indeed be regarded as a mass grave, because it is not only the five tombstones in the cemetery that are buried here, but also the corpses buried all over the mountain.
"These two killers were hired a few years ago, and their main job is to kill and bury the 'guests' invited by their employer."
Even Tang Shui, who had been prepared for a long time, was shocked by the contents of the thin book, the information he stole alone contained more than 20 victims, plus the soul slayer who was invited to come this time, which means that at least 30 people died here, including some celebrities.
"I'm afraid he was afraid that his secret would be revealed, so he killed the Taoist priest and the fat monk."
"More than thirty people? Could it be that no one ever doubted him? β
A few months ago, only five people died in a series of falling buildings, which caused widespread concern in the society, and X City even issued an emergency notice, hoping that the general public should avoid traveling at night as much as possible.
However, more than 30 people died here, but there were never any reports of this.
"As far as I know, the reef charges a lot of money not only because of the good training of the killers they provide, but more importantly, because they handle the aftermath for their employers...... Of course, this is only a faΓ§ade. β
"I already thought something wasn't quite right with you, so you came to assassinate him?"
"Not really, we're just here to take back his luck."
"Luck?"
"The owner of this land is the son-in-law of the original family of Zunnan, and twenty years ago, he had made a deal with Carmen...... It's a shame to say that the person who negotiated this 'business' at that time was a traitor who betrayed his master. β
"No wonder he knew he was going to die."
Gu Yun suddenly realized.
"The condition of the transaction is that he only has twenty years to live, but within these twenty years, no matter what he does, fortune will eventually be on his side, so even if he has committed many crimes, he can hide from the world, and the five members of the Nan family are buried here, I guess it must be inseparable from him."
"One more thing, you also put the bugs that ran into our house before, right?"
"I put it there."
Tang Shui hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully, "We have no malicious intentions, the whole thing is related to the person you released from the Demon Suppression Tower, because according to the information we have received, that traitor has also been looking for Cheng Ming's whereabouts recently. β
According to Carmen's rules, he should not have told an outsider such an important matter.
But now the situation is really unique, and maybe ...... Gu Yun can be a big help for them.
"Just for this?"
"That's right, although you may not believe it, we didn't intend to hurt Miss An Ling from the beginning, we just wanted to find out if she heard Cheng Ming's whereabouts from you."
"Then why don't you just ask me?"
Gu Yun was a little incomprehensible, this Tang Shui went around in a big circle, but he chose a curve to save the country.
ββ¦β¦β
This question really stopped Tang Shui.
Because normal people don't ask such tricky questions, right?
What if when they came to visit, Gu Yunyi was unhappy and hammered him directly into the concrete floor like he had just dealt with the killer?
"So...... Would you like to tell us Cheng Ming's whereabouts? β
"Yes, what's not to want to do here?"
"Where is that Cheng Ming now?"
"How do I know?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, if you ask me directly, I'll tell you that I don't know, and you don't have to make things so complicated."
