Chapter 279: On the eve of chaos
Xu Lang turned the pen in his hand, his eyes flickered, and he was a little hesitant to go to the hall.
It is conceivable that after a small and half a month of house arrest, all employees will go downstairs at this time to check on the situation.
In fact, this time it is not a good thing to go down, but it must go.
First, if it goes according to the plan, the people on Wu Cheng's side will already know about Xu Lang's killing of Kou Zhong.
Although this was a step in Xu Lang's plan, he still couldn't figure out if Wu Cheng could deter Kou Zhong's men in the first place, in case one of them was not careful, if he was attacked, things would not be easy to handle.
After all, non-mission wounds cannot be repaired by newspapers.
But on the second point, Xu Lang had to go to the hall to verify He Xiao's life and death, as well as to test Yan Yan's deployment at this stage.
Yan Yan has been too quiet during this time, his methods are usually very amazing, the scene is huge, and his current performance is a little different from his style.
And one last point, he wanted to see what was going on with Cheng Guoguo? Or maybe it's what happened.
He still felt that the clues or hints given to him by Person No. 1 were not so simple.
Something must have happened to Cheng Guoguo, or something is about to happen, and near the early stage of the mission, Xu Lang can't accept that there will be such an unknown change inside.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Lang finally stood up and began to leave the room.
As soon as he opened the door like this, an indifferent and abnormal face appeared outside the door, looking at Xu Lang expressionlessly, as if he had known that he would come out, this person had a cold temperament, and the most interesting thing was that most of his left ear was missing, which looked extremely weird.
Xu Lang didn't seem to expect to meet him at this time, and said while closing the door: "Such a coincidence? ”
"Unfortunately, I've been waiting for you." The nameless tone was still the same, concise and to the point, he looked around when he said this, and finally walked forward side by side with Xu Lang.
"Oh? See if I survived? Xu Lang glanced at him a little strangely.
"No, there were a few people in front of your room just now, and after seeing that there was no movement in your room for a long time, they left angrily, probably to find trouble with you." Nameless didn't seem to have the slightest surprise that Xu Lang was able to survive the mission in Room 7, and he didn't even mention it.
It is only a little explanation of why he waited at the door of his room.
"Do you recognize who it is?" Xu Lang nodded slightly, his face was relaxed as if he didn't care about it, and asked slowly.
"It should be Wu Cheng and Kou Zhong's gang, did you offend Kou Zhong in the mission?"
When Xu Lang heard this, there was a deep gaze in his eyes, his body paused slightly, and he whispered in the nameless ear: "I didn't offend him, I killed him!" ”
Nameless glanced at Xu Lang with a smile, not surprised, "Then it's no wonder, it seems that Wu Cheng's side is going to mess up." ”
"That's a good thing for me."
"But it just shows that they will hate you to the core, and they will attack you when they have the opportunity." There aren't many nameless words, but every word is the point.
Xu Lang shrugged his shoulders and said with a normal expression: "We'll meet after a while, let's see if Wu Cheng can control Kou Zhong's people." ”
Walking further, their footsteps paused, and on the third floor, Zhu Zixing's figure gradually appeared, but his face was average, as if there was something that made him melancholy recently.
However, the moment he saw Xu Lang, some joy appeared on his face, and he slightly washed away the sorrow.
"Brother Xu, I knew you could survive." Zhu Zixing's personality is relatively mild, and on the surface, he is a harmless and slightly mediocre young man.
Xu Lang nodded at him, and in response, Nameless raised his eyes and glanced at him, without saying anything.
Zhu Zixing was already accustomed to the style of the two, so he didn't pay attention to it at all, and when he came to Xu Lang's left hand, the three of them walked towards the hall together.
Walking down further, the somewhat chaotic scene in the hall came into Xu Lang's sight.
There were a few people sitting on the sofa, but most of the employees were standing in the hall, talking.
Cheng Guoguo's face was a little dull, and everyone could see that he was in a very bad mood, sitting on the sofa, holding a can of Coke in his hand but not moving at all, not even opening the pull ring, just sitting quietly.
John beside him, as if he could feel Cheng Guoguo's emotions, looked at him a little strangely for a moment, a little caught off guard by Cheng Guoguo's unusual performance, and then paid attention to the crowd in the hall in front of him.
Sitting on the sofa were also the Song brothers, Song Zhuoyan had begun to learn to adapt to the environment in the newspaper, and at this time he sat beside Song Zhuoming without saying a word.
And Song Zhuoming saw the figures of Xu Lang and the others for the first time, nodded quietly at Xu Lang, and then looked ahead.
There was Wu Cheng's position, and Bai Mei was sitting on his left hand, and in front of the sofa on his right, Lao Ding was talking to the people around him in a gesture, clenching his teeth and looking very excited.
Bai Mei's mood was also very low, especially when he saw Lao Ding's slightly out of shape, which became more and more gloomy, and the two of them had a quarrel when Xu Lang arrived, and they quarreled.
Wu Cheng was sandwiched between the two of them, not saying a word, the dark emotions in his eyes were not revealed, and no one knew what he was thinking at this time.
And when Xu Lang's figure appeared from the stairs, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent.
Especially the entanglement between Bai Mei and Lao Ding's side finally came to an end at this time, Lao Ding and a few people behind him, the moment they saw Xu Lang, they all rushed to the crown angrily, especially Lao Ding had already strode towards Xu Lang's side.
Xu Lang looked at the approach of the black-clothed young man expressionlessly, his face did not change in the slightest, but instead his eyes fell on the white-eyed people who were standing beside Wu Cheng, their faces were ugly, and they were struggling slightly, but they never moved.
This made Xu Lang's mind have a little understanding of the situation on Wu Cheng's side.
It was obvious that the black-clothed young man walking towards him now, and the three or four people behind him, should be Kou Zhong's diehards, and the middle-aged man with white eyebrows in the back, as well as two or three people, were already looking for a way back for themselves.
Their back road should be only Wu Cheng.
Xu Lang didn't look at Lao Ding, who was about to walk in front of him, and looked past him to Wu Cheng's eyes looking at him, and Xu Lang seemed to read some kind of emotion in his eyes.
He lowered his eyebrows slightly and thought for a while, and immediately understood Wu Cheng's actions.
In this simple confrontation, Wu Cheng tested that several of Kou Zhong's team were die-hard loyalists, and a few were willing to submit to him.
"It seems that his mind has succeeded!" Xu Lang's eyes were slightly cold, Wu Cheng was more difficult than Kou Zhong.
"Hey! Lao Tzu is talking to you? Are you deaf? ”
Lao Ding's attitude was extremely bad, perhaps because he was used to the reckless atmosphere, and the content on the note had made him completely lose his mind.
Especially in the hall, Kou Zhong's return was not found, so he had already concluded that his boss had really died in this mission.
Xu Lang's thoughts were interrupted by him, but he didn't get angry, but asked softly with a normal face, "What did you just say?" ”
Lao Ding looked at Xu Lang's appearance and became angry, went up and grabbed Xu Lang's collar, gritted his teeth and asked, "Brother Kou, what's going on?" ”
Xu Lang didn't care about being grabbed by his collar, and his gaze fell on the center of the hall, where there was no sense of teleportation.
Some are just the employees of the newspaper who have not participated in the mission of Room 7.
In other words, today is the day when the mission of Room 7 ends, but it is also the moment when no living person survives, and those who want to be able to live have already been transmitted back to the newspaper, and today is the day when the last executor dies.
So, how many of the fourteen executors survived the mission in Room 7?
Xu Lang's eyes looked at the middle of the hall, and once again ignored Lao Ding's words, which made his already on the verge of breaking out more and more intense.
Lao Ding's emotions were already uncontrollable, and the strength on his hand was even harder, so he grabbed Xu Lang's collar and dragged him to the center of the hall, trying to talk to him.
But then a pair of calloused and vigorous hands grabbed Xu Lang's collar with one hand.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he knows whether there is one, Lao Ding is also a master honed in the fight and blood, almost at the same time as being hit by the nameless, he knows that this person is not simple.
Before he could react, the nameless two hard fingers clasped his wrist, and Lao Ding's wrist was numb, and he subconsciously retracted his arm.
Zhu Zixing smoothed Xu Lang's slightly wrinkled collar very tacitly at this time, and his body also took a step forward.
Lao Ding looked at the nameless cold eyes, and for some reason, a strange thought suddenly appeared in his heart: The person in front of him was not a human, but a beast!
His body subconsciously took half a step back, but the presence of several subordinates behind him also gave him confidence, and once again sounded the situation of his boss, and his anger dispelled his reason.
"Xu Lang, don't pretend to be stupid, you don't know much about Brother Kou's situation, I'll just ask him, is he dead or alive?"
Xu Lang's mind at this time had been completely retracted, and he took a deep look at the man in front of him, he didn't even want to ask this person's name, and sneered, "Die!" ”
Lao Ding and the four or five subordinates in the rear changed their faces at the same time, and even the newspaper employees who had been watching the play in the back also took a look at the situation here a little strangely.
"How did you die?" Lao Ding's teeth were about to be crushed, his eyes were wide, and there were many bloodshots faintly inside.
Xu Lang's tone still looked a little disdainful, and he said in a long voice: "I killed him." ”
