"The old man doesn't understand, how often did you start practicing double sticks?"

Behind the dark brown desk, Cheng Guangen turned out the page, writing something on it, and in the voice of speaking, he occasionally raised his eyes to look at the window.

“...... It didn't take long. ”

Xia Yi looked at the hot air balloon with banners hanging in the sky, responded softly, and then fell into silence, and got the place in the competition in this way, in fact, in the final analysis, he offended both Chang Wu and Ma Lin, as for the revitalization of the martial arts hall, as long as the competition gets the ranking, there are no other problems at all.

In the middle of the ring, the old man stamped the seal of the martial arts hall on the competition application form and handed it to Xia Yi.

"Why are you so persistent in wanting to participate in the competition? With your current double-stick fighting strength, it is possible to cultivate your mind and cultivate your mind for another ten years to start a sect. ”

Xia Yi turned around and reached out and pinched the application list handed over, looked at the old man and said with a smile: "The owner of the museum will not understand how people who have just been released from prison stumble in society, let alone understand the pain of not having money on their bodies." ”

"Are you participating in the competition just for money?" Cheng Guangen's tone was a little surprised, but there was a cautious look in his eyes, and he shook his head slightly when the page he was pinching at his fingertips was slowly pulled away.

“...... It's a shame that your skills are buried in money. ”

Xia Yi ignored the old man's regretful words, and after his eyes swept over the contents of the application form, he turned around and opened the door to leave, and when he closed the door, he turned back and smiled at the old man in the room, and raised the application form in his hand.

"Thank you...... Also, I'm more than just a stick. ”

Then, leaving the stunned old man, when he gently touched the door, the door covered his smile in the dimness of the aisle, walked out of the aisle of the office, and came to the hall, the disciples who were cleaning up and some of the students who had not yet left, all stopped, looking at Xia Yi, who had always given them the impression of sunshine, modesty, and timidity, his expression was very complicated, even if there was a slightly better relationship among them, he didn't dare to come forward to say hello.

Just looked at each other quietly.

On the other side of the venue, Ma Lin bandaged her arms, and when she saw Xia Yi coming out, she stood up, her good-looking eyes flashing with strange emotions.

"It's a shame that you, a person who has been released from prison and represents Red Leaf Fist, are simply a disgrace. ”

Xia Yi nodded.

"Always available. ”

He smiled, walked straight through the hall, and walked through the gate without stopping, the sun shone down, Xia Yi looked at this brilliant light, and took a deep breath, as long as he won the municipal competition, there would be 50,000 yuan...... Basically, he didn't eat or drink and worked for two years as a miscellaneous salary.

"Who told me to be so poor? He said self-deprecatingly, and in the next second, he suddenly reached out and covered his abdomen, and his stomach faintly felt the faint pain of pulling internal organs.

Originally, he just came to ask for a quota, but from a distance, he saw Chang Wu go to the martial arts hall with people, as long as people are not stupid, they can tell what the other party is going to do, and Xia will not let go of such an opportunity, of course, by the way, he also wants to try how advanced his ability is.

As well as switching weapons and side effects at any time...... Wait a minute.

"Sure enough, you can use the ability frequently, but it only provokes internal injuries......"

In a whisper, he left the martial arts hall, walked all the way, and passed by a gray car driving through the street, and in a moment, Xia Yi turned into the alley near the road, in fact, before coming to the martial arts hall, Xia Yi also prepared two small knives, inserted them on the belt, but fortunately they were not used, and suddenly thought of something, he took out a quick flip at his fingertips, and at the moment of using his ability, the sharp blade slashed through the wall, leaving a knife mark.

Xia Yi looked at his eyes reflected on the blade, and pondered........ close range and throwing really have different effects.

At the moment when he inserted the knife back, the sedan that had just passed by squeaked to a stop, and a figure in the driver's seat looked at the watch that had just issued an energy fluctuation alarm, and quickly took out a pistol and installed a silencer.......

On Gongxiang Street, Dongfang Xu walked in the noisy and potholed streets in casual clothes, and from time to time he talked and laughed with the vendors with vegetable stalls on the side of the road and asked about some things.

“....... Have there been any fights lately that have been particularly bad?"

"I'm not your informant...... If you don't buy something, get out of here. ”

“.......”

Luoxiang Street is just a long street in this urban village, and there were originally cameras installed, but without exception, they were destroyed by people the next day, and after a few times, the county traffic no longer cared about this matter, so that Dongfang Xu had difficulty referring to the surveillance video materials in the past few days, so he had to separate from his colleagues, one monitored the martial arts hall, and the other inquired on Luoxiang Street, to find out whether the sudden appearance of the alien energy and the murderer of the island country that night were sitting here.

He had just left the vegetable vendor's stall when the communicator in his collar rang.

"Dongfang, the energy fluctuation just rang near the martial arts hall, I saw a young man walk in, you hurry here, I'll catch up first......"

There was a sound of the car door hitting in the communication, and then the sound of footsteps running, and the companion suddenly shouted: "Stop-" The moment the words sounded, Dongfang Xu's eyelids jumped wildly, with a bad premonition, and yelled into the communicator: "Zhao An, don't act rashly!"

In the next second, he ran towards the car, opened the door and sat down, but the signal of the communicator was disconnected.

.......

In the alley, Zhao An's voice rang out.

"Wait a minute, brother in front, I have something to ask you. ”

Xia Yi stopped, turned around, and swept his biased gaze to a broken glass leaning against the alley, and the figure walking from behind faintly saw the handshake of the firearm, and the other party's hand also kept a distance from the gun at any time.

His heart jumped, his arms slowly moved upward, and his voice was low.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao An walked slowly step by step, his upper body bowed slightly, his eyes flashed with a touch of solemnity, his face kept a smile, and his tone was calm.

"May I ask how to get to the Zhenxing Martial Arts Hall? I turned around twice and didn't find it. ”

"It's right behind this alley, walk straight a hundred meters out of the alley. ”

"So, my brother often goes to that martial arts hall?"

At the moment when the tentative words said the word 'pavilion', a meow suddenly came from the trash can next to him, and a black cat jumped out, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly broke off.

Xia Yi twisted his toes, turned around violently, lifted the corner of his open shirt, pulled out a knife with his fingertips, and Zhao An in the back also quickly pulled out his gun in the sudden change, and pulled the trigger on the figure in front of him.

Phew-

- Poof!

The dull sound of gunfire that eliminated the flames rang out, Zhao An held the pistol and took a few steps back directly, his hanging arm was still holding the handle of the gun, his fingers pressed the trigger out of control, and fired several shots on the ground, the corpse sat down slowly against the alley wall, a knife was inserted into his forehead, and red blood flowed through the staring eyes.

Xia Yi also had blood on his body, the bullet grazed the ribs and flesh in the turn, almost breaking the ribs, he covered his right ribs, gritted his teeth and walked over, pulled out the knife on the corpse, wiped off the blood he dripped on the ground, and then stumbled out of the dark alley.

Soon after, nearby residents found the body and screamed to call the police.

Dongfang Xu then rushed over, and the moment he saw his colleague, he clenched his teeth, and his body was so stiff that he trembled.

"Tell you not to move, wait for me......" He reached out and gently stroked Zhao An's open eyes, and took the body into his arms, and there were water stains rolling down in his eyes.

"...... how do you ask me to explain to your wife and children, I ...... How the are you going to explain it to them!!"

He slammed his fist into the wall, his mouth open, his voice choked and hoarse.

After a few moments, a siren came from outside.

Several policemen rushed into the alley, the first one, with thick eyebrows and wide eyes, squatted down beside Dongfang Xu, glanced at the corpse, and said in a deep voice: "I am Fang Zhi, the captain of the Jiaohe County Police Force, please cooperate with our investigation!"

And Dongfang Xu, who was holding the corpse, also showed another identity after that.

"Commuter Bureau?"

Fang Zhi frowned and looked at the few words on the certificate, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
