Chapter 664: Falling short
Li Wei's request for help surprised Luo Han.
Luo Han helped Li Wei up and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Wei smiled bitterly: "It's a long story, let's talk about it while we go." ”
"Since I got your money, I've moved to the city and started a business. Originally, I had a good life, although I didn't make much money, but it was enough to maintain food and clothing on weekdays. Half a month ago, a guy who claimed to be a reincarnation gate came to me and said that he could sell me a reincarnation document. You also know that my current memory has nothing in the human world, so whether or not to reincarnate actually doesn't mean much to me, and besides, I know that the reincarnation gate costs a lot of money, so I didn't pay attention to him. But I didn't expect that after this guy was rejected by me, he still didn't give up and stalked. In the end, I was pestered, just make it clear to him. I didn't expect his offer to be so low, which happened to be within the range I could afford. ”
Luo Han shook his head: "Then you must have been deceived." ”
"I didn't believe it at the time, but he said that because the underworld was chasing very closely, the reincarnation gate had been torn apart, and he just happened to have a reincarnation document in hand, so he thought about changing some cash and finding a place to avoid the limelight. I was skeptical, so he showed me the paperwork, which seemed to be genuine. I thought I could take advantage of it, so I was naturally a little moved, so I bargained again and used half of my net worth to get the paperwork. ”
"So what?" Luo Han was a little baffled.
Li Wei smiled bitterly: "If I was just cheated of money, at least I still have half of my net worth, and I will admit this mold." But just as I got the paperwork, I suddenly found a letter at home. The letter said that he had obtained evidence of my transaction with the reincarnation gate, and if I didn't want to be arrested by the prefecture as a fellow party, I would take all the house deeds and silver tickets and go to him to exchange them. ”
"It's an immortal jump." Luo Han became interested, touched his chin and thought about it and said, "This is a double-layer scam, you show me the paperwork." ”
Li Wei looked left and right, took out a document and handed it to Luo Han, Luo Han opened it and gave it back to Li Wei, saying: "As I expected, this is fake, but the workmanship is very realistic, and it should be imitated according to the real one." This bureau should be like this, first find a person who pretends to be a person in the reincarnation gate, trade with you at a low price, use the psychology of taking advantage of the advantage, let you buy this fake document, and then threaten you with a report, squeeze your family property dry, and recycle the document by the way, so that your money will be drained and nothing will be left behind. ”
Li Wei was furious when he heard this: "How can this be reasonable! It's not enough to lie to me once, you even want to kill them all. I'm going to report to the police and arrest him. ”
Luo Han shook his head: "Don't be impulsive, although you bought a fake, but you do have the intention of trading with the reincarnation gate, and you won't have any good fruit to eat if the matter gets bigger." ”
"What then? Is this a loss? I'm not reconciled. ”
"It's a fate to meet you again, and I'll help you get ahead this time." Luo Han thought for a moment and said, "I'll accompany you to meet this liar." ”
Li Wei was overjoyed: "Thank you for your righteous action, Li Wei is grateful." ”
"By the way, you are also well-informed, do you know the Evergreen Gang?"
"The Evergreens?" Li Wei thought for a while and said, "I know that this gang was founded by a ghost king named Song Changqing, and they often rob business travelers in groups. Later, he angered many ghost kings and was jointly exterminated, Song Changqing was killed, and the rest of the army wandered around under the leadership of Song Changqing's subordinate named Youyingzi, constantly absorbing lonely souls and wild ghosts to develop and grow. Today, the Evergreen Gang is one of the most illegal forces in the ghost world, and its scope of activity is all over the north. My lord, do you have any holiday with them? ”
Luo Han nodded: "I was targeted by the Netherworld, and I felt that I had been being followed, but I couldn't find where he was." I'm going to do something important now, and I want to get rid of this problem first. ”
Li Wei thought about it and said: "Although the Evergreen Gang is very powerful, the top powerhouses are very scarce, and the reason why they can develop is because they are mainly active in the wilderness, and they often change places after making an order. From this point of view, the strength of the Netherworld should not be comparable to those ghost kings, with your strength, there is no need to worry about it. ”
Luo Han explained: "I'm not afraid that he will attack me, I am afraid that he will find out the hole." ”
"That's right." Li Wei thought for a while and said, "It's better to be like this, I'll follow behind you incognito, and find a way to find out the location of the Netherchild." ”
"It's not very feasible, I think the Netherworld should also have a means of stealth, and it is quite advanced, you may not be able to find him."
Li Wei thought for a while, his eyes lit up and said, "There is a way." Isn't he stalking you? Then let's find a dead end and let him be exposed. ”
"How?"
"That's how we'll ...... ...... like this"
After listening to Li Wei's plan, Luo Han nodded and agreed.
The group went out of the city for ten miles and came to a high mound, where a masked man had been waiting for a long time.
Li Wei stepped forward and said, "I brought something, what do I want?" ”
The masked man pinched his throat and said, "Don't worry, let me check it first." ”
As soon as the masked man took a step forward, a flying sword pierced his chest. The flying sword flew back into Luo Han's hand, and Luo Han said coldly: "It's up to you to use a fake document to cheat money, and you can figure it out." Hand over your so-called evidence, or you'll be up and down. ”
The masked man clutched his chest and said in a muffled voice, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand. Li Wei, I don't think you want to live anymore, as long as my companion gives that evidence to the underworld, even if you don't die, you will be a fugitive for the rest of your life. ”
"Still pretending?" Li Wei didn't laugh angrily, and took out the paperwork: "This document is fake at all, you and the guy who sold the paperwork are in the same group, it's not enough to lie to me once, you still want to lie to me a second time." Call him out now, and give a good account, or he will destroy your soul and make you immortal. ”
The masked man was silent for a moment and said, "Since it has fallen into your hands, then even if I am unlucky, you dream if you want me to give in." ”
"Then kill it, don't waste your time." Luo Han was too lazy to talk nonsense, and if he couldn't find another accomplice, at most he couldn't get the money back, so Luo Han didn't care.
Li Wei was a little hesitant, after all, he let him have half of his net worth, but he also understood that this kind of deceived money would not be able to be recovered, so as soon as he was ruthless, a short sword appeared in his hand and stabbed at the masked man.
"The Nether-sama will avenge me!" Before the masked man could utter these words, he was stabbed in the head and scattered on the spot.
"This guy is actually from the Evergreen Gang." Luo Han was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the bandit gang of the Evergreen Gang would actually work part-time to defraud. However, in comparison, fraud is indeed faster than robbery, but Yu Yao has more complex mental operations.
Li Wei was stunned, if it was before, he would not dare to offend a gang like the Evergreen Gang like this, because the Evergreen Gang would retaliate fiercely. But since Luo Han is going to do something to the Evergreen Gang, there is no need to care too much, and he just happened to follow Luo Han's thigh to let out a bad breath.
"My lord, I'll go and prepare first, you can come over when you see the time."
"Okay." Luo Han returned to the city, woke up Meng Zhihuan, and walked out of the city slowly.
"Is this to the ground?" Meng Zhihuan was very confused about Luo Han's refusal to let him take the carriage, and the first thing that came to mind was to get to the entrance of the tunnel. Although it is still far from the capital here, Lethe River is not on the same level as the ghost world, and some differences in location are normal.
"yes, it's coming soon." Luo Han casually perfunctory and led Meng Zhihuan to the place where the masked man was killed.
"But I haven't recovered yet." Meng Zhihuan said with some reluctance.
The remains of the masked man had been disposed of by Li Wei, and there was a small hole in the hiding place. Luo Han came to the small cave and said, "Don't talk nonsense, follow me in." ”
Meng Zhihuan was surprised that Luo Han didn't blindfold her or stun her, so he took her to the location of the cave, which was too strange. Before she could think about it, she had already seen Luo Han kick away the earth and stone covering the cave with a face, and pull herself to jump.
Soon Meng Zhihuan understood that this was not that place, because there was no water in it, the space was extremely cramped, and most importantly, it was a confined space at all, with no passage to other places.
"Don't speak, I'm going to ambush an enemy, you just hide it." When the words fell, Luo Han punched the cave wall and punched a hole, the meaning could not be more obvious, that is, to let Meng Zhihuan hide in it.
Meng Zhihuan was a little inexplicable, but she still did it.
Ten minutes later, a head poked out of the hole above his head and looked carefully. But it was an "L" shaped hole, and he couldn't see inside.
Netherworld was a little entangled, he had been following Luo Han stealthily all the way, but out of concealment, he didn't dare to get too close, after all, stealth is not omnipotent, and it is easy to be detected by other means if he is too close. Therefore, he had no idea what Luo Han had done when he went out of the city before, and he didn't know what Li Wei and his entourage, who had been with Luo Han before and later separated, had done.
To follow or not to follow? This is a problem. With, it is possible to be ambushed, not to follow, in case the other party runs away from here, it will be difficult to find him again.
To be able to bring the broken Evergreen Gang to its current scale, the prudence of the Netherchild played a big role, so after weighing it again, the Netherchild chose to wait. If this is a trap, the other party is bound to be anxious if he does not take the bait. If this is not a trap, this underground activity is not so smooth, and you may not be able to catch up.
Luo Han hid behind the corner with his breath, and the Nether's refusal to come down made him a little anxious, but Netherchild couldn't imagine it, and Luo Han, who didn't dare to release any perception, knew clearly that he was at the entrance of the cave. Through the wind formed by the flow of air, Luo Han didn't need anything else to control the movement around him, which gave him the confidence to keep going.
Finally, the ghost son felt that the time was almost up, and he had not been able to go down, and the people below did not know the situation, and if it was a trap, he would have been unable to hold his breath a long time ago. So the Ghost jumped into the hole.
As soon as he landed, the ghost screamed badly, and an explosion directly collapsed the entrance of the cave. Of course, this will not stop him, nor will it kill him. But in the darkness he saw a figure, the weapon in his hand glowing.
"Nether, don't come unharmed." Luo Han said with a smile, due to the collapse of the cave entrance, the space where the two of them could move was only the bottom part of the "L" shaped space.
It is true that the small space has a great limit on Luo Han's speed, but his strength is already above the Netherworld, and he also has the upper hand in a head-to-head battle. On the contrary, it was the Netherworld, in such a small space, the concealment ability that he was proud of was useless, and the magic weapon could not be used, and the discount in strength was even more serious.
Zhu Xian drew up, the protective shield came out, and with the powerful swordsmanship, Luo Han suppressed the Netherchild in the corner, rapidly consuming the mana and life of the Netherchild.
Eventually, the Netherchild couldn't hold it anymore and turned into a wisp of green smoke and died, leaving only a pile of loot.
Fire Skeleton: An A-class item, crafted from the skulls of corpses that died in flames, they are extremely strong and powerful.
Soul Cone: An A-class item that contains powerful soul power and can cause massive damage to the soul of a target that hits a soul.
Dementor Bell: An A-class item that contains the power of seducing the soul, and when the bell rings, it can make people feel swoon.
These are the three treasures dropped by the Netherchild, although the grade is average, but they all have their own characteristics, which is a relatively easy magic weapon to use.
In addition to these three items, there are some other items, but they can't be brought out of the scene, and they are of little use to Luo Han.
After solving the opponent, Luo Han methodically dug a hole, climbed out with Meng Zhihuan, and returned to the city.
It didn't take long for Li Wei to come to the door. Luo Han was not stingy, and gave Li Wei the things he didn't need from the Netherworld, along with most of the money, which made Li Wei very excited, not only made up for what he had lost, but also made up ten times and a hundred times more. In addition to the excitement, it was inevitable that it would be polite, and Li Wei immediately said that there was anything useful, just ask.
Solving the annoying hanging boot ghost of the ghost child, Luo Han is also very happy, just wait for Meng Zhihuan to recuperate, and then he can go and steal the seven-leaf mandala. It's just that when he thought of this girl's uncooperation, Luo Han was a little uneasy.
In the next few days, Meng Zhihuan was honest, eating, sleeping and sleeping every day, because the damage caused by the hardships suffered in the desert in those days quickly recovered, and it was even more mellow than when they first met.
Now that Meng Zhihuan's state has recovered, Luo Han naturally put the matter of stealing the seven-leaf mandala on the agenda. Meng Zhihuan had no objections, so the two embarked on the trip.
Luo Han put Meng Zhihuan down as usual, took her to the entrance of the tunnel, cleaned up the buried hole with some difficulty, and then asked Li Wei to help deal with the cover-up, and then entered the passage.
Passing through the passage and opening the blocked exit, Luo Han came to Lethe. Just as Luo Han was about to go ashore, he found that Meng Zhihuan was holding was gone, replaced by a small wooden puppet. The wooden doll was also wrapped in a rag with a few words written in blood.
Luo Han went ashore and opened the rag, which read: "Unexpectedly, I still escaped from you." ”
