Chapter 16: Deathmatch
"I ......" Lin Wu suddenly seemed to be poked in the underbelly, and he was speechless.
The old man saw the young man's embarrassment, "If you want me to be cured, you can, after all, I am not a real gentleman." ”
"However, I have one condition."
Lin Wu looked up in some surprise: "What conditions?" If it's copper and silver, I have a lot of them, and it's nothing to give you them all. ”
"Do you have a crush on this girl? Sparing no effort to cure her, what if she wakes up and leaves without looking back. ”
Lin Wu shook his head, "After I settle her, I will leave first, how can I say it?" My grandfather once told me that if you don't save you when you die, you won't be able to sleep well. ”
"My grandfather once told me that the heart of the doctor is the heart of the parents."
"Oh? It's really interesting, what kind of person is your grandfather? ”
"It's better not to say it." Lin Wu remembered the scene at the city gate.
The old man was interested, took a sip, and said, "There are not a few wanted criminals in Beilin City, and your reward is the lowest one, what did you do?" ”
"You'd better save the girl first. I promise you anything. ”
Lin Wu was reluctant to mention this because he knew that his grandfather was from scratch in Beilin City.
Not to say that it is a household name, but it is also a sensational existence, and there are not a few people in Beilin City who remember this name.
The old man gently lifted the woman's veil, looked at Lin Wu without even looking back, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Is there still such a stupid boy today......
The pharmacy was very small, and Lin Wu stayed here for a day, and there was not a single customer. Even the stove for decoction is old, maybe it is an antique from a few decades ago.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, brought the decoction to the veiled woman's bed, and said to the old shopkeeper, "Thank you, I can feel that her breath is not as weak as before. The old man is really rejuvenated. ”
The old man raised the cigarette stick in his hand, "Don't come to this set, but you seem to be a martial arts practitioner, and you have reached the realm of being able to sense the breath of others......"
"The conditions I told you before could be fated at any time. That's exactly what this girl did, so I decided to help you. ”
"The injury she suffered was caused by the poisonous gas of the puppet of the 'Divine Machine', I want you to go to the City Lord's Mansion and steal the original of the 'Divine Machine'!"
Lin Wu was confused, but when he heard the word puppet, he suddenly thought of something.
"What the hell is this 'machine'?"
"This is the biggest secret of Beilin City, and it can't be said."
"Then on my way to Beilin City, I was attacked by two puppets, which are the 'Divine Machine' puppets you said?"
The old man nodded, "Listening to your description, it should be the best 'wooden man' to deal with, this kind of puppet is far more agile than ordinary people, and its weakness is that its body is too fragile, far less powerful than a high-level puppet." ”
"If you can use it to manipulate the original of the god machine, the culprit who has plagued Beilin City for decades can also be removed. I will also give you my most precious treasures. ”
"I'm really confused." Lin Wu really didn't understand, and scratched his head, "Okay, just go to the City Lord's Mansion and steal a book, what's so difficult about it." It's good that I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion and settle accounts with the officer and soldier who scolded my grandfather today. ”
"By the way, old man, I haven't asked you what your name is."
"Everyone else calls me Old Deng." Old Deng Tou didn't seem to want to say too much, and leaned against the counter and closed his eyes, smoking a dry cigarette by himself.
It was the first time Lin Wu had seen such a strange old man, and he couldn't compare with his grandfather at all.
He didn't say much, packed his bags and walked out of the store.
"What's your name?" The old man thought that although this boy was stupid, when the girl woke up and asked who his savior was, he would tell her.
"My name is Lin Wu."
A figure instantly climbed onto the beam, and he was a chivalrous man who never took the right path.
Now he's going to be a thief.
The old man didn't care, and then said silently: "Lin Wu...... Lin Wu!? I said, who is your grandfather! This kid didn't tell me! ”
"It's his grandson! Broken! Can't let him go! ”
Old Deng Tou panicked and chased out the door, where was Lin Wu's figure.
Although he was puzzled, Lin Wu was about to go to the City Lord's Mansion, and he just brought the book out by the way, but he was confused when he heard the description of those puppets.
At this moment, when the sun set, Lin Wu went down to the wall, took a piece of cloth from the inconspicuous place of the cloth shop, and left a tael of silver.
"Ten buns."
"Why is the guest officer masked, how can he eat steamed buns? Could it be ...... Okay! This lord, the buns will be good right away! ”
Lin Wu threw down a tael of silver, and the expression on Xiao Er's face was really superb, comparable to the speed of turning a book, and his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
He took the bun angrily, and the world was really as boring as his grandfather said. As long as you have money, you can buy human life, and as long as you have the power, black can turn white.
"Grandpa told me to stick to my heart." Lin Wu thought of his grandfather's life for decades, but he never hurt nature and reason, he was still kind and kind, and he would also lend a helping hand to beggars, and be fair and just to people with humble status...... That's the heart.
He wants to be like his grandfather.
Lin Yan was a little moved, but he had an ominous premonition, in order to save people, it would not be good for this kid to encounter danger to his life again.
Night fell quickly, and Lin Wu masked his face and quickly got ready.
Sure enough, his brain became brighter, and he didn't swagger in during the day, "Even if it is martial arts, you should be cautious." That's the same thing Grandpa said.
But as he got closer and closer to the City Lord's Mansion, a chill rose in his heart again.
Lin Wu subconsciously slowed down, bowed his body, and looked at the front vigilantly.
He was far away from the roof, and he saw that there was also a dark shadow around the City Lord's Mansion.
He was staring at himself, it didn't look like human eyes, his eyes glowed pale green, and there was something oozing.
"Discovery...... Wanted...... Obliterate ......"
Lin Wu couldn't hear it, he just felt that this person was very strange, his neck turned to look at him, but his body didn't twist.
What kind of neck can rotate directly half a turn!?
Lin Wu swallowed his saliva, this is too weird, there is no moon tonight, dark clouds are all over the sky, and the entire city lord's mansion is extremely quiet.
If you go door-to-door...... You'll eventually find out that there's not a single resident here.
This circle, which is the territory of the City Lord's Mansion, is now a no-man's land. It was never so.
"Who are you......"
Before Lin Wu could ask, he saw the black shadow in front of him disappear in place, and then a faint green light appeared beside him, facing his cheek.
