When the Oriental fish belly came out white, Hu Lai was exhausted. It's not that he did anything big, it's just that he has been fighting mosquitoes all night, and he can't even stand on his feet from the torment of sleepiness. Zhang Ze stretched, looked at the swaying Hu Lai, and asked.

"What's wrong with you?"

Hu looked at the energetic Zhang Ze and asked.

"Brother, aren't you sleepy?"

Zhang Ze smiled and said.

"As a regular operation, you still need to exercise a few more times."

"I can't afford it at my age. A few more times, I guess I'll be in the ground. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ze saw a group of people in black robes walking out of the villa from a distance, and the person who was surrounded by them was wearing a red robe, this person was the cardinal archbishop.

"Shhhh

Hu Lai also looked into the distance.

"Brother, what should I do?"

Zhang Ze saw that the cardinal had already gotten into the car, so he said.

"Find a way to get into that car."

"Huh? You're not kidding, are you? ”

Zhang Ze said with an unusually serious expression.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Hu Lai said reluctantly.

"Oh, I see."

"Be smart."

With that, Zhang Ze hid in the grass next to him. The cardinal's car slowly drove out of the villa compound, and Hu Lai suddenly rushed out from the side, fortunately the driver stepped on the brakes in time, otherwise he would have run over him, and maybe he would have come down to make up for the eight knives.

"Who?"

The disciples in the car came to Hu Lai and asked sharply, Hu Lai didn't have to act to show a delusional and fascinated look, as if what was in front of him at this time was not an ordinary car, but Noah's Ark that carried his hope in life. Hu Lai fell to his knees, raised his hands above his head, and then bowed eight times.

"Bishop Almighty, I am your devout believer. It is your will that has led me here to see your holy face, and may you soothe my sinful soul with your holy hand. ”

Zhang Ze, who was in the grass, almost laughed out loud when he heard Hu Lai's words, thinking that this kid had too many tricks. If this trick works, then there is no need to worry about anyone being in his way. At this time, the cardinal got out of the car and walked in front of Hu Lai.

"Look up."

"Don't dare, I'm afraid it will hit you."

The cardinal sneered and said to the disciple next to him.

"Let him get in the car."

Hu Lai successfully got into the cardinal's car, and after the car was far away, Zhang Ze stood up from the grass and muttered to himself.

"This old boy, it's okay."

Although Hu Lai pretended to be light and light on the surface, he was not too nervous in his heart. He was now curled up next to the cardinal like a quail, which was a treatment he had not expected. Hu Lai quietly glanced at the cardinal next to him with his spare eyes, and his every movement touched Hu Lai's sensitive nerves. Hu Lai was really afraid that he would slap himself to death, or that the car would drive to a remote place and bury himself alive. The cardinal leaned back in his seat, and Hu Lai also leaned back, when the cardinal suddenly said.

"What's your name?"

"Dong Er."

Hu Lai did not report his real name with his years of experience in walking the rivers and lakes, and he used a trumpet when he went out, and he could still save his life at a critical moment.

"Dong Er?"

The cardinal asked questioningly, and Hu Lai's heart was excited.

"I don't think there's that name on the list of congregations. When did you join the Heavenly Punishment Cult? ”

Hu Lai thought to himself that this was over, and the ghost knew that this grandson had memorized the list. But on second thought, the cardinal might be lying to him. So he said.

"I've been converted to the Heavenly Punishment Cult for a long time, but my name is really inconspicuous, just like me. It's a privilege in my life to be in the same car with you today. ”

The cardinal was a foreigner, and he couldn't react to hearing such a literary flattery. After a moment, he smiled knowingly and said.

"What is your position in the church?"

"There are no positions yet."

"Hmm..."

After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the church in the east of Zhonghai City, and Hu Lai got out of the car first to open the door for the cardinal, and then put his arm aside like a eunuch to use the cardinal as a handrail. Zhang Ze, who had been secretly protecting Hu Lai, looked at his virtue and sighed for a while.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, this is definitely a talent."

For a moment, Zhang Ze wondered if Hu Lai would take this opportunity to join the Heavenly Punishment Sect. Just when he was thinking nonsense, he received the location sharing from Hu Lai, Zhang Ze looked at his phone and said with a smile.

"Good boy, there are two hits."

Zhang Ze dialed Fang Fan's phone and said.

"Old Fang, it's all done. Shall I rush in now, or will I go in with you when you come? ”

Fang Fan on the other end of the phone said suddenly.

"Terminate the operation."

"What? Pull the plug? You're not kidding, are you? Now is a great opportunity. ”

"Plans have changed."

"But, Hu Lai is still in there."

"Let him find a way to withdraw."

With that, Fang Fan hung up the phone. Zhang Ze looked at the phone screen blankly and said.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Ze turned off location sharing and replied to Hu Lai with a word, withdraw. Zhang Ze was not at ease but walked into the church, and at this time, many believers had come to the church one after another, and they all had stiff and weird smiles on their faces. Zhang Ze has the richest facial expression here, and he buttons the hat of his clothes on his head to hide himself.

"How long have you been here?"

Zhang Ze asked the disciple next to him, but the disciple ignored Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze squinted his eyes at the disciple, only to see that he still had a stiff and weird smile on his face, as if no one was around. At this time, the cardinal stepped up to the stage, first inspected the congregation in the audience, and then said.

"Today I'm going to introduce you to a new friend."

Hearing this, Zhang Ze was taken aback, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. After a short time, several believers put Hu Lai on the stage. Hu Lai was beaten and bruised all over his body, and it seemed that he only had half a life left. The cardinal pointed at Hu and said.

"This person named Dong Er is a moth that has invaded our Heavenly Punishment Sect, what should we do?"

As soon as the words fell, the group of sect members suddenly shouted loudly.

"Eat... Eat... Eat..."

Zhang Ze suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and after listening to it a few more times, he found that it was not his own ears that were wrong, but the brains of this group of sect members. They actually wanted to eat people, Zhang Ze took pictures of Hu Lai's tragic situation and sent it to Fang Fan for support. Fang Fan didn't reply for a long time, but the people in the church were already close to madness, they not only shouted loudly, but also approached the stage step by step, and they couldn't wait to eat Hu Lai alive.

"Lao Fang, hurry up, hurry up."

The cardinal suddenly shouted.

"Let's turn this person into the soil of the Heavenly Punishment Sect, and let him rot into ashes in the Heavenly Punishment Sect."

With that, a group of congregants rushed to the stage. At this moment, a roaring butterfly dragon appeared in the middle of the church, and a burst of flames separated the stage from the stage. The cardinal looked at Zhang Ze sitting on the butterfly dragon in mid-air calmly.

"You're finally willing to show up."

"I advise you to let my friend go, or today will be your death."

"Do you think you're going out today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the church was tightly closed. The sect members stared at Zhang Ze like hungry beasts that had just come out of the cage, and after a while, they jumped up one after another and shot directly at the butterfly dragon, some of the sect members hung on the feet of the butterfly dragon like a sausage, and the butterfly dragon threw the sect members out with a few shakes, but after a while, another wave of sect members rushed up again. Several times in a row, the cycle goes on and on. These people are nothing more than innocent civilians in Zhang Ze's eyes, and if they are attacked, it will undoubtedly be a massacre. Zhang Ze was helpless for a while, but if he continued like this, he would definitely be consumed here alive. Zhang Ze took a deep breath and said.

"His grandmother's, Lao Tzu fought with you."

With that, Zhang Ze jumped up from the butterfly dragon, stretched out his fangs and aimed at the cardinal, and rushed over. The cardinal flashed sideways, Zhang Ze did not fight him but quickly rushed to Hu Lai's side, cut the bound iron chain with his fangs, and Hu Lai fell on Zhang Ze's back. At this time, the sect members on both sides swarmed up, and at this moment, the flames of the butterfly dragon isolated them from Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze jumped directly onto the butterfly dragon, flipped it a few times, and then escaped through the window of the colorful glass above the church cross.

Hu Lai was still in a coma, and at this time Zhang Ze had a trace of self-blame in his heart, if he just let Hu Lai follow at that time, such a thing would not have happened. But at this time, the anger in his heart still came from Fang Fan, he glanced at his phone and found that Fang Fan had not replied to the message. Zhang Ze angrily burst into a foul language, and then leaned over towards the Spring Bar.

Zhang Ze took the dying Hu Lai back to the bar, and saw Fang Fan, Su Kang and Yang Yue sitting in the hall, Zhang Ze didn't say a word and first sent Hu Lai to Han Shuo for emergency treatment, and then he came to the hall angrily and asked.

"Fang Fan, why don't you reply."

Fang Fan looked at him blankly, and said after a moment.

"I want to ask you. How did you get to this point? ”

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment and said.

"You ask me? Didn't you tell me to retreat? ”

Hearing this, Fang Fan was even more puzzled and said.

"When did I let you retreat?"

Zhang Ze took out his mobile phone and said.

"You can't be amnesia, are you? I just called you. ”

"But my phone never rang."

Zhang Ze pointed to Fang Fan who was already speechless with anger, he opened the address book and showed it to Fang Fan, and said.

"See the time for yourself."

Fang Fan took the phone and looked at it, and found that the number dialed out recently was a string of garbled characters.

"See for yourself what it is."

Zhang Ze looked at it and said in surprise.

"Damn, how did this happen?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ze showed the photo to Fang Fan, but Zhang Ze suddenly found that the photo was not sent to Fang Fan at all, and the other party's name became garbled.

"What the is going on, what the hell?"

Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.

"How's Hu Lai doing?"

"It's not good, it's half a life left. I obviously called you, how could it be like this. And I hear your voice, even if it's a typo, it can't sound the same, right? ”

Fang Fan patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder and said.

"You sit down first, it's really weird here, let's listen to what Su Kang has to say."

Zhang Ze sat down, looked at Su Kang, and asked.

"What's going on?"

Su Kang pondered for a moment and said.

"It all started with last night's strange experience."

Su Kang then recounted the experience of the previous night, but he did not say for the time being that the general had invited them to go. Zhang Ze asked confusedly.

"You don't mean to say that the weirdness you encountered last night caused today's signal to be out of order, right?"

Su Kang pondered for a moment and said.

"Actually, I'm here today to tell you something else."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were stunned for a moment and asked.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to give the key to the general."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze stood up suddenly, and Zhang Ze said.

"You're crazy, aren't you? Do you want the key to the general? That's your dad..."

Su Kang interrupted.

"She avenged me."

Hearing this, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze didn't know what to say, and Fang Fan said after a long time.

"I know you've always put your father's revenge first, but you can't give away something so important for that reason."

Su Kang smiled faintly and said.

"It's true. Since the moment my father died, I felt that nothing was more important than my family, and now I want to stay with Yang Yue for the rest of my life, even if tomorrow is the end of the world, it has nothing to do with me.

I'm here to tell you today, and I don't mean to ask for advice. And for the sake of our friends, I'm going to tell you something. There is a strange old lady beside the general, and it is very likely that she is responsible for this signal disorder. ”

"Su Kang, you..."

Su Kang continued.

"There is another thing, your goal is wrong, the cardinal is no longer in charge of the Heavenly Punishment Sect, and soon the Heavenly Punishment Sect will be taken over by the general, as for what she will do after she takes over, I don't know."

With that, Su Kang took Yang Yue's hand and walked out, Fang Fan shouted.

"Su Kang, are you really leaving?"

"I've made up my mind, and if you're going to stop it, I don't mind using force to change your mind."

Fang Fan sighed, then took out a bank card from his pocket and said meaningfully.

"I can't stop you from leaving, let alone fight with you. Friends, no matter where you go, you are friends, you have some money in this card, and you have a deal when you go out. ”

Su Kang said with a wave of his hand.

"No need, we have the money."

"Sizhuo Technology is gone, what are you still talking about, take it."

Fang Fan forcibly stuffed the bank card into Su Kang's pocket, and Su Kang said with a smile.

"We're leaving, take care."

Looking at the backs of Su Kang and Yang Yue leaving, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were speechless, and the two were silent in the bar hall for a long time. After a long time, Zhang Ze asked.

"Old Fang, do you think there will be only the two of us left in the end?"

Fang Fan laughed miserably and said.

"No matter who is left, they can't turn a blind eye to the danger in Zhonghai City."

Su Kang and Yang Yue returned to the hotel after leaving, Su Kang began to pack his luggage, Yang Yue asked.

"Where are we going?"

"How about drinking the tea made by my mother-in-law again?"

Yang Yue dragged her chin and thought about it, and said.

"It's okay, you may not be able to drink it in the future."

Su Kang took the key out of the mechanical arm, held it in his hand and looked at it again. Yang Yue held his hand and asked.

"No matter what, I want you to follow your heart."

Su Kang smiled faintly, shook his head and said.

"It doesn't matter. After tonight, we can live freely. ”

"Are you really sure that if you give the key to the general, she will really let us go?"

Su Kang sat on the bed and said with a bowed head.

"I'm in a mess right now, and to be honest, I don't know what to do right, and I don't know what is the best choice. But I don't want to go back to that life. ”

Yang Yue hugged Su Kang in his arms and said softly.

"In that case, let's follow the law of attraction and do what makes you happiest at the moment."

"The thing that makes me happiest is to stay with your plain looks."

Night was falling, and it was approaching midnight. Su Kang and Yang Yue stood at the bus stop with their luggage, waiting for the 713 bus that could help them take away all their confusion. After a long time, the No. 713 bus slowly entered the station, and Su Kang and Yang Yue got on the bus. The two still chose the back position, and the car shuttled back and forth in the wind, and Su Kang took the opportunity to leave all the past in the wind, hoping that they would not chase after them.

"Here we are."

The two of them stepped off the bus, and the lights of the small house in the distance were still on. When they came back this time, they both felt a touch of warmth when they looked at the lights in the distance, as if this was their home. Su Kang knocked lightly on the door, and the old woman opened the door and saw a thick smile on her face, Su Kang asked.

"Is the general here?"

The mother-in-law pointed in the direction of the living room. Su Kang walked to the living room, and Yang Yue followed her mother-in-law to the kitchen again.

"General, I've thought about it. The key is of no use to me anymore and I have decided to give it to you. ”

The general said with a smile.

"Really?"

"Hmm... But I have one condition. ”

"Please."

"I hope you don't use it to do anything that harms Zhonghai City."

The general rolled his eyes and said.

"Although I am in charge of mercenary organizations all over the world, I am not a militant, and I am not like the group of people in the Secret Crossing, who covet the souls of others."

"Then why do you want the key so much?"

"There are many things in the world that are only valuable and cherished when they are needed. Once the value of being used disappears, it will be kicked away, and there is no need to say much about the result. ”

"So you want to use the key as your bargaining chip?"

The general nodded and said.

"I'm just a businessman, and in addition to focusing on profits, I pay more attention to checks and balances in the business battlefield. Only when each other has a certain amount of resources in their hands can they have the capital to survive together. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, I hope you won't break your word."

Su Kang pondered for a moment, then asked.

"Do you know what happened this morning?"

The general smiled and said.

"You mean the cardinal?"

"Hmm..."

"Of course I know, I can't let the cardinal die right now, he's still an important pawn for me."

Su Kang understood that he couldn't ask any more questions at this point, so he changed the topic and said.

"If you were given the key, would you let us go?"

"Of course, we are friends. Not only will I spare you, but I can also promise that no one will disturb your life in the future. ”

Su Kang pondered for a moment and handed the key to the general, who put the key on the desk and said.

"Thank you, and may you be happy in the future."

Yang Yue hugged her mother-in-law before leaving and said.

"I'm going to miss your tea."

The mother-in-law let out that weird laugh again, and then gave a tea bag to Yang Yue and said.

"With this, you can also brew fragrant tea."

After Yang Yue thanked him, he and Su Kang left the hut, and the general looked at their distant backs and said lightly.

"The farther you go, the better."

The mother-in-law asked with a smile behind her back.

"Why are you only so friendly to the two of them?"

The general gently closed the door and said.

"Because they're like me."

After a moment, the general picked up the key on the desk and handed it to his mother-in-law.

"Give this to the cardinal and tell him what it is."

"This?"

"Just do it."

"Understood."

Early the next morning, the mother-in-law came to the villa with the key. The cardinal knew about Xuziming, and also knew the current position of the general, so he naturally had to be polite when he saw his mother-in-law.

"You're here in person, I wonder if there's something important?"

The mother-in-law's strange laughter echoed through the large room, and then she took the key from her pocket and handed it to the cardinal.

"This is what the general asked me to give to you, I hope you will keep it safe."

"What is this?"

"This is the key that His Holiness has always wanted to get."

The cardinal was stunned and asked.

"Is it the key to the phosphorite mine?"

"That's right."

The cardinal's hands were shaking with excitement, and then he quickly handed the key back to his mother-in-law and said.

"I can't ask for this, it's too valuable."

"This is what the general meant, you can take it."

"But I wonder what the general's plan is to hand it over to me?"

The mother-in-law stood up and said.

"The old man is ignorant, and he doesn't know. If you have any questions, just ask the general. ”

Looking at the back of his mother-in-law leaving, the cardinal felt that the key in his hand weighed like a thousand pounds, and he muttered to himself.

"It's time to meet with the general."

The cardinal ordered the mother-in-law to be stopped, and then walked out quickly.

"Mother-in-law, can you take me to meet the general?"

"Of course, come with me."

The cardinal followed his mother-in-law to the place where the general lived, and the general was fishing by the lake at this time, and he was envious of others. The general looked at the cardinal and said with a smile.

"Sit down."

"General, long time no see."

The general jerked up the rod, and a bouncing fish was caught.

"It won't be long."

"Yes, yes, yes. There's one thing I don't understand. ”

"Please."

"What do you mean you give me this key?"

The general said with a smile.

"How can you say that you are also my senior, and you also have a pivotal position in the Secret Crossing. As a newcomer, of course, I would like to dedicate this opportunity to make meritorious contributions to you. ”

The cardinal was stunned for a moment, and quickly said.

"That's too serious. How can I compare to you. As the saying goes, a wave is stronger than a wave, your light has long overshadowed me, how can I compete with you, and I will ask you to help me more in the future. ”

With that, the cardinal put the key aside and turned to leave. The general's attention was still focused on the fish float, and the mother-in-law said on the side.

"General, the cardinal is gone."

The general leaned back in the recliner and said leisurely.

"If only this old fox could be hooked as easily as a fish."
