Chapter 223: Reliable
Luo Ruyan felt that every time she met Xia Chuluo, she was at a disadvantage.
This feeling of passivity made him feel bad.
I was lucky enough to run twice, but I can't be so lucky all the time.
As agreed, he arrived at the rendezvous site, where the other team members were already waiting for him.
"Lao Luo, why did it take so long?" Someone asked.
"Something happened, and my niece found me."
Luo Ruyan didn't say much.
He took out a device he had with him, pressed a button, and let the submarine self-destruct.
There was an explosion in the canal, and the water shook for a moment, then calmed down again.
The submarine, which had just been bought not long ago, was forever silent at the bottom of the canal, a pile of broken copper and iron.
"Find a place with fewer people and burn your cars." Luo Ruyan said.
"Lao Luo, I spent a lot of money to renovate this car, and it burned down like this?" The strong man scratched his head, puzzled.
"It's safest to burn." Other members of the team also thought that there might be a tracking device.
"Lao Luo knows his niece best, burn it."
Luo Ruyan saw that a few people were reluctant, and comforted him: "All the expenses of your time are paid by me, there is no need to be heartbroken, it's just a car, it's a big deal to renovate another one." ”
Sure enough, money is always the most important thing.
The so-called multi-year friendship, that thing is worthless.
The crowd drove to a dilapidated factory building, carrying gasoline and slowly dumping it on each car.
The rain was still heavy outside.
On this night, many people stayed at home.
The fire and smoke will attract a lot of attention, and some idle guys may take advantage of the night to come out with an umbrella to see what is going on.
The essence of human beings is always to like to watch the excitement.
"I'll get a timer and ignite it in twenty minutes, so I can avoid a lot of trouble." Someone in the team said.
"Speaking of which, Lao Luo, your niece is really a god, how can she find where we are?"
"Deal with this little girl...... Not to be taken lightly. ”
Everyone suffered a loss, and they all began to pay attention to Xia Chuluo.
"Jiang Fatzi still has to find a chance to get it, with him, Xia Chuluo can lock us at any time, unless we don't have any traces of contact with the Internet."
"What are you afraid of, don't we still have glasses?" Someone patted the skinny man in the team with thick glasses.
After everything was arranged, the team took advantage of the night to leave.
This abandoned place will start burning in twenty minutes.
Dense raindrops hit the roof of the abandoned factory.
A few ants move slowly through the grass on a rainy night.
……
Ten o'clock in the evening.
The innkeeper looked at the pouring rain outside and knew that no one would come tonight.
There were only three tenants left in the hall on the first floor, perhaps because they felt too bored in their respective rooms, and they sat on the old stools in the hall, looking at the rain curtain outside the window, with different expressions, some in a daze, some frowning and thinking.
The boss was thinking about the few huge sums of money he had recently gotten.
The sum of that money was enough for him to find a small place in the city and spend the rest of his life in peace.
"When this is over, sell the inn."
The boss thinks this should end quickly.
He knew that Luo Ruyan and the team Luo Ruyan owned were quite a strong force, and some of them had faces that he had seen on the wanted list in Canterlot.
And that little girl, I still feel too young.
The boss was still a little apprehensive in his heart, so he was waiting, waiting for the conflict between the two teams tomorrow morning, waiting for Luo Ruyan to call him and tell him that everything had been done.
"Squeak......
The old inn door was pushed open.
Torrential rain outside.
Thunder flashed, and outside the door were more than a dozen black umbrellas in full bloom.
Everyone under the umbrella looked indifferent.
Xia Chuluo was the first to walk into the hotel, she put away the black umbrella, and the rain kept dripping down the tip of the umbrella, hitting the floor of the hall on the first floor of the hotel.
The innkeeper was stunned, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
He forced a smile and asked, "Miss Xia, haven't you all gone upstairs to rest?" Why...... Out again? ”
He clearly remembered that no one walked out of the main entrance during this time.
It was still a rainy day, and it was still night, and the hotel was always cold, and the tenants either sat in the lobby on the first floor or were in their rooms.
If someone goes out, he'll definitely notice.
Did this group of people go out through the window? The collision between the two groups is over?
"It's more romantic on a rainy day, so it's not bad to go out and enjoy the rain." Xia Chuluo said lightly.
The boss looked at the group behind her.
Each of them carried more than one weapon, as well as all kinds of equipment that he had never seen before, and the combination of machinery and flesh and blood was murderous, which was obviously out to find trouble.
The owner is also a smart guy.
He chose for a moment between his life and the large sum of money, and soon chose the former.
"Miss Xia, I was also forced to be helpless, that Luo Ruyan threatened me, saying that if I didn't cooperate with him, I would dispose of my wife and children."
The boss changed his sad expression.
"How powerful Luo Ruyan and his team are, I think Miss Xia, you also know, I'm an ordinary person, how dare I not agree to what he said......"
The speed of this change of face and the look of admitting mistakes made everyone amazed.
Being able to live in Canterlot for so long, and coming into contact with all kinds of people every day, is still safe and sound, I have to say that this boss is a talent.
"I just checked, your wife died five years ago, and your son was also given away by you." Xia Chuluo looked at him calmly.
"Ah......h
The shopkeeper was speechless for a moment.
Family members are best used to play the emotional card, and if they play well, they can win the sympathy and understanding of the other party.
But he had no family.
I thought I could fool the past, but ...... Sure enough, it is not advisable to leave it to chance.
"Miss Xia, this ...... All this money was given to me by you before, as well as the money that Luo Ruyan gave me, I will take it out and hand it over to you immediately. ”
The boss laughed dryly twice, and reached under his counter for a while.
Looks like they're looking for money.
But just as he was about to pick up the thing under the counter, the cold muzzle of the gun was already aimed at his head.
"Put the gun on the counter and stand back." Xia Chuluo's indifferent voice did not have a trace of emotional fluctuations.
The shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat and his scalp was numb.
Anyone with a gun to the head won't feel too good.
The girl in front of her had a caution and calmness that did not match her age, and it was immediately clear that he was looking for a gun under the counter.
The plan to kidnap Xia Chuluo and threaten the others has been shattered.
"Miss Xia, I'm really taking the money." The boss hurriedly explained: "As for this gun...... Living in Canterlot, I have to endure the security of those stupid robots every day, and I can't sleep well without a gun to defend myself. ”
He slowly picked up the gun under the counter and placed it on the counter.
An old-fashioned revolver with six rounds of ammunition.
It can be fired at any time.
The other three tenants sitting in the lobby on the first floor were silent at this time, quietly watching what was happening in front of them.
It's Canterlot, so it's no surprise that anything happens.
"This gun is good, a commemorative version of the last war, it's hard to get, and although this place in Canterlot is shabby, you can also find some good things." Xia Chuluo glanced at the revolver on the table.
Duan Tiannan, that middle-aged fat guy, likes to collect revolvers.
He even has a one in his house made of pure gold, but that thing can't be used, and the high temperature of the bullet will deform the body of the gun, so the pure gold revolver can only be seen.
"Lu Wen, take this gun, turn around and throw it to Duan Tiannan, this time thanks to him."
Although Duan Tiannan did not have any news.
But judging by the meeting, he managed to take out the sniper on the opposite side, and that was enough.
"Although that guy doesn't seem to be very reliable, he is still very reassuring."
With the gun gone, the shopkeeper was completely out of threat.
He leaned against the wall of the hall on the first floor, his hands raised, indicating that he had not acted against everyone.
"You don't have to cook tomorrow's meal too early, just the normal time." Xia Chuluo said lightly.
The boss was stunned, this is ...... Not ready to kill him?
The look of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he smiled humbly and said, "Now you have the final say in this shop, and I will listen to your arrangement." ”
At the beginning of the summer, Luo Ben had no intention of killing him.
The city's mechanical deacons, though silly, are also more troublesome when they are serious.
If you really want to kill someone, you should first call the person to a secluded place, deserted, and then dispose of the body, and create an alibi for yourself by some means.
Everyone walked into the hall on the first floor and shook the rain from the surface of the umbrella.
In fact, everyone is already soaking wet, and holding an umbrella is just more ceremonial.
Just as everyone was about to go upstairs to rest, there was a knock at the door of the inn.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Standing in the doorway was a thin man.
Around thirty, with a scar on his face and metal arms on both arms, a typical modified person.
He reached out and wiped the rain from his face, and a few greasy hairs were attached to his forehead, with the marks of the scar, which looked more fierce.
"The brother of our organization was killed in the middle of a mission and shot his head."
He walked into the store, his narrow eyes revealing a cold meaning, sweeping over everyone.
Everyone was puzzled.
Jiang Fatzi walked out and said tentatively, "Should I say it...... I feel sorry to hear this? ”
"My brother is a sniper, and according to ballistics, the sniper who killed him was in the area where you were operating at the time."
That's when it happened.
Duan Tiannan's voice came from Xia Chuluo's headphones.
"Xiao Xia, I may have accidentally killed one more just now, that guy is so unprofessional, setting up a gun in such an obvious place, really thinking that everyone else is an interstellar player......"
"Do you know that I praised you for being more reliable."
