Chapter 154: Premeditation
In the downtown area, in the office at the top of the building, a white-haired man in a green suit is facing the wall, his expression a little gloomy.
He is Varon, who was born in England and is the founder and leader of the Black Hand Order. is a shrewd criminal planner, and in terms of fighting, he can even fight Jackie Chan alone.
"Varon, haven't you found the charm I wanted? Before the first bell of the new year rings, I must get all the charms, or you will never get my treasure. "In a luxurious office, a dragon-shaped stone sculpture hung on the wall, its eyes glowing scarlet, and it made a high-pitched sound.
"Holy Lord, you wait, I have already sent my men to find the Tiger Talisman, as for the other spells, they should be handed over to Area 13 by Jackie Chan and hidden inside Area 13, as long as we catch Jackie Chan, we will definitely be able to smell the address of Area 13."
When Valon mentioned three of his subordinates, he had a headache, and he didn't know why he was a mafia boss, the police's most wanted criminal, a powerful villain with both intelligence and force, why his subordinates were all these strange things, although they were loyal and don't worry, their abilities were really low and terrifying.
"I don't want to hear these explanations, if you can't give me the twelve charms before the New Year's bell rings, you'll never want to get the treasure."
The Holy Lord's voice began to rise and fall, and he also regretted that he had found these incompetent mortals to collect runes for him, so that the Black Shadow Corps could not fight Jackie Chan alone, what a bunch of waste.
The red glow in the eyes of the dragon-shaped statue on the wall dissipated, and the Holy Lord fell into a deep sleep again.
And standing in front of the Holy Lord, Varon's face was so heavy that he could drip water, he was a mafia boss, if it wasn't for the treasure, how could he be reprimanded by the Holy Lord like a grandson, thinking of this, his fists were clenched, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh.
Chirping!
The door was pushed open, and a huge figure blocked out the light from the outside world, and a huge shadow appeared on the ground.
"Boss, I'll bring back the Tiger Charm." Tru walked up to Varon and stretched out his palm, a spell engraved with a tiger pattern lying quietly in his palm.
Wa Long picked up the Tiger Talisman, and looking at this talisman that had caused him a lot of trouble, Wa Long's heart calmed down.
He glanced back at the statue that was unusual, and with some determination, he did not put the charm into the groove in the statue, but put it in his pocket, picked up the scepter that was placed on the table, and strode out the door.
Seeing this, Tru hurriedly followed.
-------------------
In front of the antique shop
Sergeant Black felt a little dizzy, and gently knocked his head, the discomfort slowly subsided, and when he opened his eyes, he was greeted by Shangguan Xu Yang's concerned eyes.
"Sheriff Black, are you alright?"
Shangguan Xu Yang asked with "concern", since the matter has been settled, there is no need to remain hypnotic all the time, and the medicine can only make people enter the hypnotic state for thirty minutes, which makes Shangguan Xu Yang a little pity.
However, Shangguan Xu Yang thought about it, if these primary magics could control people at will, then the world would have been chaotic a long time ago.
Besides, the production of potions also requires a lot of materials, if it weren't for the fact that his relationship with his father was getting better and better, giving him some materials to practice. The search for these medicinal herbs alone could make him anxious, like the appearance of a light sleeping flower.
The rhizomes of this flower are no different from other plants, but the petals look like human faces, and there is no certain source of information about this material, so it is completely invisible.
Blake was a little confused, recalling that he came out to chat with Shangguan Xu Yang, but he suddenly became confused and was stunned for a while. Could it be that I haven't slept well because of dealing with the mafia recently, and my physical condition is not good?
Blake thought that this was the only one that was the most likely, and it was not surprising that he had not had much rest recently, and that his schedule and rest were seriously out of balance, and that he was irritable and dizzy. It was as if a voice in Blake's heart was guiding him, and he automatically made up the reason for his dizziness.
"It's okay, I'm bothering you." Blake smiled heartily, "Okay, then Sergeant Black, can you help with my temporary residence permit, I only have a passport now, and I work in my father's shop this time, and if I don't have a temporary residence permit qualification, I will be repatriated." ”
This is Shangguan Xu Yang's reason, after all, he and Blake are not familiar with each other, and it is still a little strange to go out to talk suddenly, if there is not enough reason, Dad will definitely suspect him after the incident, so that even if he grabs the 12 charms, there is no way to return to Daddy's shop.
Therefore, Shangguan Xu Yang used the temporary residence permit as an excuse that although the United States is a multiracial country, since the 911 incident, the review of foreign population has become stricter.
For tourists like him, it is no problem to simply travel, but if they do not leave the country after the visa expires, they are easy to be checked. And Blake happens to be a sheriff in District 13, although it is not a system, but he has some power and connections after all, and it is more than enough for him to help with a temporary residence card, and he still has a stable job.
Blake thought about it for a while, and also wanted to change Shangguan Xu Yang's favor, so he agreed to Shangguan Xu Yang's request, "Yes, I'll find someone to help you deal with this problem when I go back, and I'll give it to you next time I come over." ”
Shangguan Xu Yang grinned, then chatted with Blake for a few words, and then returned to the store.
In the room, Dad was checking the magic book, after all, Jackie Chan didn't grab the tiger charm this time, and after this time, all the charms have been found.
This means that if the mafia wants to get more spells, they can only come to District 13 to grab it, but thinking of those people in District 13 who disdain magic, Dad is a little annoyed, these people have not really experienced the horror of magic, and the technology products they are proud of can be feared by some powerful magicians as long as they are prepared in advance.
Seeing Shangguan Xu Yang push the door in, Dad asked, "What did you talk to Blake?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just my temporary residence permit, after all, I'm going to stay here for a long time, and I don't have any friends here, so I'll ask Sheriff Black to help me deal with it." Shangguan Xu Yang smiled and answered his father's question.
Daddy didn't suspect him either, and continued to check the magic book with a sigh.
"Daddy, I just heard from Sheriff Black that he asked the Varon from the captured mafia members that they were collecting spells because they were following the instructions of a mysterious man named the Holy Lord." Shangguan Xu Yang felt that the plot was already chaotic, so he prepared in advance.
This so-called arrested mafia was made up by him, and as for Sheriff Black, his father didn't like him in the first place, so naturally he wouldn't ask in person for this kind of thing.
"Holy Lord, where do you seem to have heard this name?" Daddy always felt that this and even the name of the Holy Lord were very familiar, but he couldn't remember it, so he pulled out a huge red book with a thickness of more than thirty centimeters from the side shelf and flipped through it.
Daddy flipped through page after page, and as for the portrait he turned over, he stirred up his memories and exclaimed, "I found it, the Holy Lord is the Demon of Fire, one of the eight demons.
Originally sealed into hell by eight immortal gods along with his other seven compatriots, and later sent back to the world by the other seven demons, but he treacherously ruled the earthly kingdom alone, until nine hundred years ago, the Lin dynasty rebelled against the rule of the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord was turned into a statue by Luo Pei using massively multiplayer magic, and his own divine power in addition to fire was broken down into twelve spells. No wonder the mafia has been collecting charms, it turns out that the Holy Lord wants to be resurrected. ”
The fog that had been shrouded all along, instantly became clearer. Daddy had always wondered why these guys could always know the location of the spell, and the principle was that the original owner of the spell was looking for it.
"It's terrible, this terrifying demon like the Holy Lord, if it weren't for the fact that a large number of magicians suppressed him together in ancient times, plus Lu Dongbin sacrificed himself to seal him, who can beat him now, my old bones can't afford it." Daddy's brows furrowed, and there was some worry in his tone, but he wasn't afraid.
Shangguan Xu Yang saw his father's expression and said secretly Sure enough, he had already felt in the original book that no matter how weak the Holy Lord was, it was still a powerful demon, and it was a fantasy to say that any magician could defeat him.
And Daddy, who sealed many demons by himself in the animation, his strength is also unfathomable, according to Shangguan Xu Yang's speculation, Daddy's strength is only slightly inferior even if it is comparable to the eight warriors who sealed the demons in ancient times
"The current Holy Lord is not terrible, he is not a threat except for the magic of fire and the control of the Black Shadow Legion, but once the Holy Lord gets twelve charms, regains his body, and summons his evil dragon dependents, this world will be in danger.
After all, the Holy Lord was defeated by humans, and divided his body, and a lot of resentment accumulated in his heart, he used to be the king of Asia, once the seal is broken, he will inevitably return to his palace near **, summon his dependents, attack the entire continent, and establish his own earthly kingdom again.
I just checked, and if you don't get twelve charms before the first bell rings in the new year, the Holy Lord will still be sealed. Even if he grabbed twelve talismans after the New Year, he couldn't break the seal, so he could only wait for a few hundred more years."
Daddy's tone was a little worried, after all, once the Holy Lord lifted the seal, the first thing to bear the brunt of was his motherland, even if he was far away from another country now, he still had deep feelings for his motherland.
Daddy's words solved Shangguan Xu Yang's doubts, no wonder the Holy Lord didn't care much about the talisman later, it turned out that it had lost its effect and couldn't break the seal.
Shangguan Xu Yang suddenly remembered that in the animation, Daddy used a potion to peel off the spell from the Holy Lord's body, and asked with some curiosity: "Dad, if the Holy Lord gets twelve talismans and breaks the seal, how can there be a way to deal with him?" ”
Dad was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and replied: "Yes, back then, the Holy Lord's body was divided into twelve charms, and the spell applied a solidification magic to freeze his body into a stone rune, even if the Holy Lord was integrated into the body, this solidification magic would not be invalid immediately, so it could be taken out with magic potions." ”
"What kind of magic potion, I haven't seen it in a book." Shangguan Xu Yang was a little curious, the book that Daddy gave him did not record the production method of this magic potion, because Daddy didn't know the existence of the Holy Lord at the beginning, so it shouldn't be that Daddy deliberately guarded against him, then it might be in other books or only Daddy knew.
"I don't know what it's called, it's an ancient recipe I found on my previous adventures, and it records how to strip the charm. It seems to be because in ancient times, although the Holy Lord was overthrown, but people's hearts were greedy, they saw that these twelve charms had such a powerful power, and they wanted to keep them for themselves, but the charm is a foreign object after all, and everyone can use it, once it is snatched away, it is to go to power, extremely dangerous.
Therefore, in order to possess the power of the charm forever, some evil magicians have invented a potion that can integrate the charm into their body. This allows you to use the charm as you want without worrying about being snatched from someone.
Later, this magician caused the dissatisfaction of some powerful people because of his evil deeds, but because he had many charms, including dog charms, he could not be killed, and his power was extremely powerful, killing a large number of righteous magicians.
It was an extremely tragic time, knowing that once the magician accidentally revealed the source of his power, and after being known, he made a targeted potion, took out the dog charm in an ambush, and successfully killed him. Then this history was sealed, for fear that someone would repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
Dad couldn't help but sigh a little, if it weren't for the magician being too ostentatious, with his ability and the immortality of the dog charm, it would not be difficult to live to the end of the world.
"That daddy got a couple of potions." Shangguan Xu Yang tried his best to calm his tone, so that the charm could be integrated into his body, which was an insurance for him.
Although the spell is good, sometimes it is easy to be robbed in some strong worlds, but the risk of exposure becomes lower after being integrated into the body, and there is a dog charm in the body, which is equivalent to getting an immortal passive, even if it is just the immortality on the **, it is enough to make yourself crisscross multiple worlds, only the person who lives is qualified to pursue more, he can travel through countless worlds, as long as he survives, he will definitely be able to climb to the top.
"I have both potions, and I have hidden the ancient recipe in the box, so if you want it, go see it yourself." Daddy said with a smirk.
Seeing Shangguan Xu Yang's expression, he understood that this apprentice of his wanted to obtain the power of the talisman, no one was perfect, everyone had their own desires and pursuits, as long as this pursuit did not harm others, he didn't bother to care.
He has lived for so many years, and he has looked down on all justice and evil, and in the final analysis, his position and interests are different.
Shangguan Xu Yang's pursuit is not excessive, he just wants to get a charm, he doesn't mind this kind of behavior, after all, it is given to anyone, compared with District 13, it is better to give it to his disciples, Shangguan Xu Yang's character He also has some understanding, a little selfish, there is no blood of ordinary young people, but like a weathered middle-aged man, he is steady, and I don't know if it is related to his life experience.
Seeing the expression on his father's face, Shangguan Xu Yang knew that his purpose was exposed, and said nervously to his father: "Daddy, me."
This can't be blamed on Shangguan Xu Yang, who suddenly knew such a good news, and the impact on him was really great, and he was too excited for a while.
"Okay, no need to explain, since you are my disciple, I will help you, there are some things I won't say, as long as you can be worthy of your conscience."
Dad stood up and wanted to pat Shangguan Xu Yang on the shoulder, but suddenly found that his height was not enough, but if he stood on tiptoe, he obviously lost his majesty, coughed awkwardly twice, pretended that nothing had happened, took out a copper key, handed it to Shangguan Xu Yang, and then walked out of the door slowly, leaving Shangguan Xu Yang alone in the room.
Seeing that Dad didn't blame himself, but cared about himself, Shangguan Xu Yang's heart warmed, Dad was the first elder after the dean to take care of and care about himself so much, in Dad, he seemed to see the kind old dean, looked at the direction of Daddy's departure and bowed deeply, his lips opened slightly, and he said in a voice that he could only hear: "Thank you."
Shangguan Xu Yang held the copper key tightly, glanced at the study, and saw a large wooden box painted with red paint in the corner, the lock of the box turned out to be a Citi lock with a meaning of blessing, and the surface of the lock was engraved with delicate flower and bird patterns, as well as the words "blessing", "Lu", "longevity", "happiness", "longevity", "good luck" and so on.
Shangguan Xu Yang felt that this box should have some special meaning for his father, and while thinking, Shangguan Xu Yang carefully inserted the key into the lock hole and turned it gently.
Click!
The Citi lock was opened, Shangguan Xu Yang put him on the ground, and slowly opened the box, the contents made him a little shocked.
----------------------
In the alley, Varon and his party stood in front of an ordinary public telephone booth.
"Boss, my men have been following Jackie Chan here, watching Jackie Chan enter the phone booth and then disappear." Ah Fen was very excited, this time his subordinates successfully discovered the location of the suspected 13th district, if it was really the 13th district, his credit would definitely be indispensable, and the bonus would be given to him more later. He had already planned where he would go after receiving the bonus.
Varon waved his hand, motioning for them to be quiet. The sharp eyes scanned everyone, after being the mafia boss for so many years, Wa Long's aura is still very sufficient, unlike the male protagonist in some novels, who has been the boss in other worlds for twenty or thirty years, and as soon as he returns to the real world, he immediately coaxes, and kneels and licks when he meets a woman.
Under Warong's gaze, the mafia immediately stood up straight and put on a solemn look.
Varon pointed at Rasu and motioned for him to come forward, "You go into the phone booth and see how it is used, and the others take out their weapons and equipment to attack." ”
Lasu's face was bitter and hateful, but he didn't dare to disobey the boss's order, and reluctantly walked into the phone booth.
Sou!
The passage opened, and Rasu was unsuspected, falling straight into the passage, leaving only a string of his screams to reverberate.
Varon looked at the passage, checked it a few times and found that it was not a trap, took out his high-tech scepter, pressed the button, transformed into an electric lightsaber, and took the lead in the charge. All his men also took out their weapons and jumped in.
