Chapter 60, into the urn
Ding Xiu and the three were taken upstairs and stopped in front of a door.
"Let's go inside." The previous leader continued to speak in a polite and tough tone.
"If you come, you will be safe, let's go in and have a look." Gu Beimo took his two boxes of chips from those people, took the lead in pushing the door in, and Ding Xiu and Shen You also followed.
The door slammed shut behind them.
"Damn, what's the situation?" The room was pitch black, and when Gu Beimo saw this situation, he was suddenly shocked, and sweat broke out in his palms.
Ding Xiu protected Shen You behind him, his reaction was even faster than Gu Beimo's, and he found that the situation was wrong when he first entered the door.
The air was silent for a few seconds, and Ding Xiu heard the breathing of many people, coming from all directions.
The lights suddenly lit up, and for a moment they were particularly glaring. Ding Xiu put his hand in front of his forehead, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes.
I saw that the spacious room was surrounded by people wearing Pikan shoulders, some of them men and women, all holding guns in their hands, and the muzzles of the guns were unanimously aimed at the three people at the door.
"Welcome to Xingtang Town."
On the sofa facing the door in front of them, a fierce-eyed man was looking at Ding Xiu and them, the man's voice was very cold, and there was a faint anger in it, like hail in the June sky, which made people feel a chill down their spines unconsciously.
Ding Xiu looked at the man as well, his gaze swept over his bare head and his skull-tattooed arms, as well as the words on his cheeks, and finally landed on the other two people beside him.
It was a man and a woman.
The man was tall and thin, with deep-set eye sockets and a figure-eight mustache under his hooked nose. His hands hung behind his back, and his breezy appearance and gray clothes were easy to ignore.
The woman wore short hair, exaggerated earrings, four ring-shaped lip studs on her mouth, and a horrific scar that stretched diagonally from the right corner of her forehead to the left cheek. I can't see any feminine charm on her body, and she only feels hideous.
"When did Xingtang Town start welcoming guests in this way? I remember when I came here last year, everyone was still amiable. Gu Beimo threw the chip box in his hand on the ground, and said calmly: "With such a big store, you can't afford to lose this money?" β
"Little girl, what's your name?" The bald man was Quan Zhilong, the president of the Skull and Bones Society, who ignored Gu Beimo's words and stared at Shen You behind Ding Xiu.
"What's the matter with you? I won't tell you. Shen You rolled his eyes at him, and his body shrank behind Ding Xiu's back again.
"You have to give me an explanation for Uncle Quan's death, otherwise I will send a few of you down to accompany him."
"Uncle Quan?" Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo were both shocked, and finally knew the reason why they were "invited".
It turned out that there was an "urn" upstairs, and the man in front of him had obviously been eyeing them for a long time.
"Who gave you the courage to kill me on my territory?" Quan Zhilong shouted angrily, startling Shen You, only Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo were not surprised.
"Since that's the case, I want to ask you, why do you want to arrest our people when they steal our cars?" Gu Beimo asked.
"In Xingtang Town, do my people need a reason to do these things?" Kwon Zhilong's tone was aggressive and very aggressive.
"Are you going to be reasonable?" Ding Xiu sneered, when the other party talked about this, he no longer had any hope of reconciliation.
"Reason? Hum. Quan Zhilong sneered: "Here I, Quan Zhilong, is the truth." β
"Isn't it just bullying us with too many people?" Ding Xiu's tone was very disdainful.
He was a frontier guard, and if he hadn't been in an accident at the camp, he would probably have spent his entire life fighting the sandmen. The skeletons of Xingtang Town would be no different from those sand people in his eyes, they were all a bunch of thugs.
"Put all the guns away." Kwon waved his hand at the nearby members of the Skull and Bones Guild who were holding guns, and they lowered their guns in unison.
He stood up, twisted his neck, and creaked his bones, "You say that there are more of us and fewer of you?" Okay, I'll make an exception for you to see how good I am. β
"Brother Long." The woman with scars on her face next to him shouted to him: "This guy named Ding Xiu has picked five rounds in Zhang Yaowei's field in a row, and the "Ghost Hand", "Tiger Dalang" and others are all defeated by his subordinates. β
This woman is Zhai Fei, a cadre under Quan Zhilong, one of the Three Tigers of the Eastern District, known as "Zhai Fei" or "Sister Scum", who has more than 100 prostitutes and dozens of young men who can fight under her hands.
"Oh?! Where did you hear the news from? Quan Zhilong's expression was a little surprised, he just thought that Ding Xiu was just young and vigorous, and he had no ability.
"The girls under my hand said that he was in the limelight on the fourth platform today." Sister Scumbag glanced at Ding Xiu, then turned around and said, "These three guys are still inquiring about Uncle Quan in my store today, but I don't know that Brother Long, you have already been eyeing them." β
Sister Scumbag is the most well-informed person in Xingtang Town, whether it is a miner in the mine, a boxer in a cage fight, or a gambler in a casino, as long as they are human, they will have physiological needs. While these people patronize the red light district, they also bring information from all over the town.
After listening to Sister Scumbag's report, Quan Zhilong put away the idea of doing it himself, this gold medal fighter of the Skull and Bones Club rarely ended up by himself after defeating the old president. He turned his head to the man with a hooked nose beside him and said, "'Butcher', Ding Xiu will hand it over to you, where he left an injury on Uncle Quan's body, you can make a hole in the same place on his body." β
"Price?" The words of the "butcher" are concise and to the point.
"1000 Brie." Kwon Zhilong offered him a price to do.
"You're insulting me." The "butcher" expressed dissatisfaction with the price.
"Last night's incident in Lulonggang, they all said that you didn't do it cleanly, which caused me to fold 'mourning', and more than half of his brothers. Kill these three people, I will not pursue this matter anymore, when you avenge Uncle Quan. β
"Deal." The "butcher" nodded.
"By the way, don't let them die too happily." After Quan Zhilong finished speaking, he beckoned to the scumbag sister, "Give it to the 'butcher' here, let's go to Zhang Yaowei and ask him what the pass is." β
The scumbag sister lifted her butt from the sofa and followed Quan Zhilong out, and the two took the other brothers in the room out, leaving the space inside for the "butcher" to perform.
The door closed again, and Ding Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. He had the idea of restraining Quan Zhilong just now, but considering that everyone else was carrying guns, it was likely to hurt Gu Beimo and Shen You in this case, so he endured it, and when there was only one opponent left in the room, the "butcher", the grasp was much greater.
"He called you 'butcher'? Were you a pig killer before? Ding Xiu looked at the man opposite and asked deliberately.
"No, I only kill, and I've killed a lot of people." As he spoke, the butcher pulled out the stab from his back, and the cold light on the blade slashed, and the bright light flashed in Ding Xiu's eyes.
Seeing the shape of this military thorn, combined with the matter of "Lulonggang" mentioned by Quan Zhilong just now, Ding Xiu suddenly thought of something.
"You killed the people under Lulonggang last night?" He asked.
"Interesting, so you fired those shots." The "butcher" paused as he walked forward, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Thank you for helping solve the mystery that has been bothering me last night." β
"It's good, it's good." Ding Xiu said "It's good" twice, he turned his head and said to Gu Beimo: "Old Gu, you take Xiaoyou to stand away a little." β
"They are ahead of you, and I won't touch them until I kill you." After the "butcher" said this, his figure swooped forward, and the military thorn in his hand went straight to the vital point of Ding Xiu's chest.
The speed of the "butcher" is very fast, but this is only relative to others, Ding Xiu activated the war paint the moment his body just moved, so this speed is not advantageous to Ding Xiu at all.
Ding Xiu could have directly dodged the "butcher's" attack, but in order to allow Gu Beimo and Shen You to have time to move to a relatively safe position, he chose to take the blow.
Although the "butcher" just said that he would not hurt Gu Beimo and Shen You before he dealt with Ding Xiu, in the life-and-death duel, Ding Xiu would not be naΓ―ve enough to completely believe his words.
Avoiding the blade of the military stab in the hands of the "butcher", Ding Xiu's hands held his wrists, so that he could not separate himself to hurt his companions,
The hands of the two twisted together, and the next thing was a contest of strength. The green tendons on the back of the "butcher's" hand burst out, but Ding Xiu didn't do his best. His aim is to keep "The Butcher" around and look for an opportunity to kill him with one blow.
It's just that the "butcher" also hides a hand, and his military stab is not an ordinary weapon, and the handle and blade of the knife have been modified.
Traditional military spurs are prismatic in shape with blood grooves and can be mounted directly on the gun when used. When not in use, fold and put away, and can be removed and used directly.
The "Butcher's" spur has been modified to be flatter than a prismatic blade, allowing it to be slashed flat in addition to the thrust. There are small holes in the blood trough that can be fed with poison, and the poison can also work when the spikes don't hit the vital point.
This spur is no longer used on a gun, but more like a melee short blade, because the point between the hilt and the blade of the knife is movable, which no one expected.
Ding Xiu knew very well the skills of using the military thorn, but he didn't know what the "butcher" had done on it, he held the opponent's hands, and when he was about to exert force under his feet, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the empty military thorn suddenly bent over, and the tip of the blade almost stabbed his neck.
That is, Ding Xiu, who activated the war paint, was able to avoid this blow to the limit, and if he was an ordinary person, his neck would have been pierced.
Seeing that Ding Xiu actually dodged his own killing move, the "butcher" showed a shocked look in his eyes. At the moment when he was stunned by surprise, Ding Xiu lowered his shoulders and pushed forward, and then grabbed the wrist of the "butcher" and threw him to the wall next to him with both hands at the same time.
