Fengcheng.

Although Fengcheng is only a small county town that is not even counted as the eighteenth parallel, the whole city still exudes an unusually vigorous vitality.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the snack street is crowded with people, and the aromas of various foods are mixed together to form an extremely attractive special fragrance.

The sound of laughter, shouting, and the sound of various foods cooking and frying is endless.

Full of market fireworks.

Ning Yuanyuan walked with friends with an ice cream, crowded into the crowd and looked at the shops on both sides, struggling with what to eat tonight.

"Yuanyuan, here!"

Suddenly a shout brought her back to her senses, and she subconsciously turned to look over there, but suddenly bumped into a person passing by.

The ice cream in his hand also hit the man's body.

"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm sorry! ”

Ning Yuanyuan was taken aback.

She hurriedly opened the bag she was carrying and took out a bag of paper in the bag.

Before she could pull out the paper, a calm voice sounded in her ears: "Your ice cream." ”

At the same time, the ice cream that she thought had fallen to the ground also appeared in front of her intact.

Huh?

Ning Yuanyuan was stunned.

Then I looked up and saw that there were no stains on the man's clothes.

The next moment, as her gaze rose, an angular young face appeared in her eyes.

“.... Thank you. ”

Ning Yuanyuan took her ice cream from the young boy's hand, and her face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

The young man smiled politely and walked towards the front with the flow of people.

And Ning Yuanyuan was still standing in place, watching the boy's back gradually fade away, until her friend's voice sounded in her ears.

"Did you fall in love with someone?"

"Why!"

Ning Yuanyuan immediately blushed and retorted.

"Silly girl, if you see it, you will ask for contact information!" My friend looked like he hated iron but not steel, "It's too late to regret it when I go back." ”

"I didn't ......"

Ning Yuanyuan's tone was unconsciously much weaker.

"Hurry!"

Her friend pushed her directly.

"Not really...... I hate you. ”

Ning Yuanyuan was still retorting, but her legs were honestly chasing in the direction that the boy left.

Another corner of the street.

This is an alley behind the snack street, and deep in the alley is a row of garbage cans, and even though most of the bins have been emptied, a sickening, rich stench still fills the area.

And suddenly—

A vague afterimage rushed deep into the alley with a gust of wind.

Just as the figure rushed to the deepest part of the alley, ready to cross the high wall, the whole person froze in place as if it had been hit by time magic.

"Ice Demon...."

He looked at the man who appeared out of thin air in front of him, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Broken through to the third layer of the murderous level?"

Li Mian looked at the fierce level that the Li family gave him as an abandoned son, and he remembered that this fierce level was originally only the second level of the fierce level.

"I see."

He immediately understood why this fierce level took the initiative to contact the family again a few days after he fled.

Obviously, the other party fled in order to hold a blood sacrifice to make a breakthrough, so as to prove his great potential to the family, and make the family realize that he should not be the outcast.

But it's a pity that even if the other party broke through to the third layer of the murderous level, the Li family still didn't change their minds, and gave his location information directly to Li Mourning.

He defended himself in a trembling voice: "I was not involved in that incident from beginning to end....."

Rumble!!

With a terrifying loud bang, the depths of the alley were directly reduced to ruins.

In the midst of the ruins, the fierce man stood in the deep pit full of cracks with his head bowed, staring blankly at his chest, and did not move for a long time.

A terrifying blood hole about thirty centimeters in diameter appeared there, running through the entire chest.

Soon, this scene fell into the eyes of Ning Yuanyuan, who was chasing after her.

"Ah!!h

Fierce screams instantly resounded throughout the alley.

But the screaming lasted only a short moment, and soon the two girls walked out of the alley laughing as if nothing had happened.

Li Mian stood on the roof of the building and watched them, and more than a meter above his head, an eyeball composed of black smoke disappeared.

It was the third talent he had just completed, the Eye of Delusion.

The Eye of Delusion can not only provide soul protection, but also distort the soul memories of other creatures at will, provided that the soul strength of the target creature is very weak.

After the two girls walked into a snack bar, Li Mian withdrew his gaze and looked at the diamond-shaped object in his hand that was still full of blood.

It's the fierce core of that murderous level.

The core was hot, like a piece of coals that had just been taken out of the furnace, constantly emitting an astonishing heat.

He originally planned to bring that murderous level back, but after smelling the smell of blood on the other party's body, which was so thick that it could barely be dispersed, he changed his mind and went directly to the killer.

Anyway, there are several other Li family abilities, and it is enough to study the bloodline.

"It's done, my lord."

A bald man came up behind him and said very respectfully with his head down.

This bald man is the monster Zangshan who robbed and killed the disciples of the Sun Gate before.

Although he was returned to Li Mourning by the Alien Management Bureau, because Li Mourning now has no shortage of research materials at all, coupled with his ability to read memories, he finally got rid of the fate of being studied.

was branded with his soul by Li Mourning with his vain eyes, and he was accepted as a subordinate for use.

In addition to the monster hidden mountain, there are several other research materials that he also took a fancy to because of the particularity of his ability, and was branded as a soul and accepted as his subordinates.

Like that faceless monster that can transform into other people's appearances at will.

"Let's go." Li Mian turned around and walked back.

The bald man followed, and the two quickly disappeared into the night.

……

……

A few days later, Xiyuan City.

Xiyuan City, the capital of Western Xinjiang, is the largest and most economically developed central city in the western part of the empire.

There is something unusual about Xiyuan City today.

Patrolling security teams can be seen everywhere on the road, and in shopping malls, streets and other places with large crowds, there are almost ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and from time to time you can see riot trucks passing by the road.

There was a tense atmosphere everywhere.

"I've always heard that the law and order here in Xiyuan is not good, and it seems that you can't believe the rumors."

In a restaurant on the side of the road, looking at a group of security officers who had just finished checking their ID documents and were walking outside, the young man who was eating said in standard imperial Mandarin.

"Hehehe, young man, you're so naïve." A man sitting at the table next to him laughed, "You're Xiyuan who just arrived today, right?" ”

The man also has a mainland accent, and is obviously a migrant worker from the mainland.

"yes, what's wrong?" The young man wondered.

"Do you think the security in Xiyuan is so good every day? Dream on. ”

The man shook his head and said: "This is because this road leads to the airport outside the city, and there must be some big man who arrived at the airport, which is why so many people from the surrounding counties and towns have been transferred to maintain law and order, and there are not so many security personnel outside in normal times." “

"Then you don't have to be so strict, right?" The young man still looked puzzled, "As for checking the ID documents one by one?" ”

"You don't know how messy it is."

It was a thin young man sitting in the corner who spoke, and he sneered and said, "If they could, they would have hollowed out the entire section." ”

"Really?" The young man was thoughtful.

The next development completely confirmed the man's words.

About ten minutes later, a luxury convoy of six luxury cars, led by two riot cars, appeared and drove off the road outside.

And when the convoy went away, the patrols that had been seen everywhere disappeared one after another, and there was no more security officer to be seen.

"What do you call the little brother? Which place? The man said, "Are you here to work?" You look like you're still in school, right? “

"Li Mourning, from the three southern provinces, come here to work." The young man smiled kindly.

This young man is none other than Li Mourning.

The convoy that passed by just now was actually specifically to greet him, but he had never been very interested in this kind of thing, so he let his subordinates change into his own appearance and deal with those officials in his place.

And Li Mian himself came to the city first.

"The three southern provinces? I've worked on construction sites there before, and it's a nice place. The man was obviously very talkative, and he couldn't stop talking with one mouth, and he kept talking.

Li Mian was not bored, and talked to the man like this.

Through talking, he learned that the man's name is Zhang Gangchuan, a northerner, who has been doing decoration work here for nearly ten years.

The reason why he has been working here for so long is purely because the wage here is almost double that of the mainland, and in order to make a little more money, he has not moved for nearly ten years.

"Look, this knife cut here." Zhang Gangchuan had already sat down on the table on Li Mourning's side, and pulled open his clothes to reveal a centipede-like scar on his flank.

"Just to rob me of a few hundred dollars, that person came directly without saying a word, if I wasn't lucky enough, I would have almost confessed."

He shook his head and sighed, "Since that time, I have never gone out alone at night. ”

"And now? Is it still that messy? ”

Li Mian looked at the scars on his body, but said.

Just as Zhang Gangchuan was about to answer, seven or eight men suddenly poured in outside, all of them fierce and vicious, and many tattoos could be seen on the exposed skin of their necks and arms.

It's like writing the word "bad guy" on his face.

And after these people walked into the hotel, the thin young man sitting in the corner suddenly changed his face, stood up from his chair suddenly, turned his head and rushed in the direction of the back kitchen.
