Chapter 17: The True Identity of the Dark Fox
"Hey, are you alright?" The two were just about to call the police when they heard Officer Bai's voice in the distance. After turning his head, he found that Mei Xue was running behind him.
"What's going on here? What happened? Something exploded, didn't it? β
"Huh? How do you know something exploded? Mao Le panicked at this time, thinking: What's the matter? Could it be that they saw what just happened?
"What we heard, just now we analyzed the meaning of the clues given by the murderer and found the French Quarter, and when we couldn't find where you were, we suddenly heard an explosion from here, hurry over, and then found out that you are like this. By the way, what's wrong with Liu Tianyun? Is he a murderer? β
"Hurry up! Show Dad if it's hurt. Officer Bai hurriedly stepped forward to check on Lingling's situation.
"Well, yes, he was the one who wanted to kill the two of us. But......" Lingling suddenly thought of a key point, "We don't have evidence?" If he wakes up and dies and does not admit what just happened, although he can be caught temporarily, the law must have evidence if he is sentenced. β
"You don't have to worry about that!" Mao Le smiled at Lingling as he took out a voice recorder from his trouser pocket, "This one records the conversation we had in the wooden house just now, so it should be used as evidence." β
"This, that's it." After making sure that his daughter and Mao Le were okay, Officer Bai was still a little confused, and those clues were solved by a few children? Just caught the murderer in such a daze?
"By the way, Lele, how did you escape this guy's clutches?" In Mei Xue's eyes, the Mao Le in front of her is the music of the earth.
"Uh, that's ......."
"What? Were you scared just now? β
"By the way, after we entered Liu Tianyun's house, he locked the door, and then set a fire in the house, intending to die with us. But at first the fire was not particularly strong, and then we looked at Liu Tianyun again and felt that his small body could not stop us, and sure enough, when we were scuffling, his head hit the wall and then fainted, and then he smashed the wooden door with the hammer placed at the door and ran out. Originally, we wanted to escape directly, but Lingling still felt that it was not good to leave Liu Tianyun there, and then I went back and carried Liu Tianyun out again. But because my leg cramped and I couldn't stand up, I had to stay a little further away from the wooden house and wait for rescue. But I don't know what's going on, something in the cabin suddenly exploded. At that time, my leg was almost good, and then I came over to check. And then you come here. β
"Uh...... That's it? β
"Well, right, Lingling?" Mao Le saw that Mei Xue was a little unconvinced, and hurriedly took her best friend to support her.
"Uh, yes! Dad, call your colleague first. β
"Huh? Oh! β
It's no wonder that Officer Bai is very confused, because this reason is indeed too far-fetched. But as I said before, they really escaped! They really escaped "magically", and Mei Xue and Officer Bai had to believe it.
"But why did it suddenly explode?" After talking to his colleague on the phone, Officer Bai looked at the pile of rubble and thought about it.
"Uncle, I think it's better to leave it to your colleagues to investigate." This Mao Le has nothing to be afraid of, even if they can't find anything if they let Officer Bai investigate, is it possible that they can't find anything and suspect that this kid is lying to him? Besides, the prisoner has now been caught, as for the matter of the "dark fox", of course it has nothing to do with Officer Bai!
"I said uncle, can you let Lingling and I go back and take a rest? I don't know what it means to make a record, and I don't know if we should make a record in this situation, but we didn't suffer any injuries, but we were really scared just now, and the recorder was given to you, can you let us go back and rest? Actually, Mao Le was going to find the "dark fox", but he couldn't say it directly. So I specially brought Officer Bai's baby daughter with me, so that Officer Bai may not refuse.
"Hmm...... All right. β
"Okay, goodbye, uncle!"
Just when he took the voice recorder, Mao Le suddenly noticed that his watch did not react when he was aiming at the sleeping Liu Tianyun, and immediately knew that it should be the dark fox who took back the elements given to Liu Tianyun, so Liu Tianyun is now an ordinary person, so he left with confidence.
On the way back to Gao Yi's house, Mei Xue didn't say less: "Lingling, how are you?" Are there any injuries? Are you really not hurt? So did Liu Tianyun do anything to you? Also, where did that fool get the faith to single-handedly challenge you both? β
"Hey, Lingling just came out of the fright, are you in such a hurry, isn't it appropriate?"
"What's the matter with you, I'm just a good girlfriend who cares about me."
"Oh, it's okay, and Mei Xue, you don't always have to go toe-to-toe with the cubs. He was very protective of me just now. β
"Cub? Okay, I've got another name, hehe...... Wait, my phone rang. Mao Le took out his mobile phone from his pocket, in fact, no one called him, he just pretended to take the opportunity to leave, "I'm sorry, Zhang, oh no!" Chen Kai: They said that they had something going on there, so let me go over for a while. Go back to Gao Yi's house first. β
After speaking, Mao Le ran away quickly, not giving the two a chance to refuse at all.
"Really, what is this guy doing?" Mei Xue complained in disgust, turned her head and hugged Lingling and said, "It seems that I can only find two sisters to go back." β
"Wait Mei Xue, I think I'd better go with Le Cub." Lingling pushed Mei Xue away, and left quickly after saying this, also not giving Mei Xue a chance to refuse, if it weren't for the fact that the two looked different, Mei Xue even thought that this was a camera replay.
"What are you doing, all of a sudden you're gone, really, Lingling, you've changed, isn't it important for me to be that Mao Le! I'm so worried about your safety...... Look at me waiting for you to come back and not ravage you well! β
At this time, Mao Le was pointing the watch equipped with an energy detector in all directions, and he would go in which way to see which side the signal was stronger. Soon they came to the location of the "Dark Fox", which is a remote forest in the French area of Yong'an Village. At this time, the "dark fox" was wrapped in golden light, and he couldn't see what he looked like at all, but Mao Le knew his identity.
"This duel should almost be over, you fox hiding in the shadows." After sending his own location to his fellow expedition partners, Mao Le stood up openly and began to expose the tricks of the "dark fox", "At the beginning, we were given a map of Yong'an Village, on which the area with the architectural styles of each country was also pasted with the national flags of each country. Although Mei Xue later told us that you did this for the convenience of foreign friends, it was actually to mislead us and let us go to the farthest sea area from the French Quarter after dissolving the clues with the wrong idea. Last night, I saw the buildings in the 'Sea area' through the monitor, and I also checked the information, and the houses there were wooden earthquake-proof houses, and it was not Haiti at all, but Japan, where earthquakes are frequent. You just want to mislead us so that you deliberately put up the national flag of Shanghai. Right...... Senior Sister Lin Menghan. β
Hearing this, the "dark fox" dispersed her light, revealing her face, it was Lin Menghan who showed her friends the way yesterday afternoon!
"Hmph, you guessed right." It's just that what surprised Mao Le was that Lin Menghan didn't quibble too much, if according to Mao Le's previous investigation, this Lin Menghan is a metallic person, and he can't beat the fire element, why is she not nervous at all after her identity is revealed? "When did you start doubting me? If I'm not mistaken, you probably didn't have that interesting watch with you yesterday. β
"The first time I suspect you are when you said that you once saw a picture of Lingling and the three of them on the school's honor roll, and I asked Lele to tell me a lot about their school or the topics he and Lingling often talked about, including the school's honor roll, in order to prevent Lingling and them from discovering that I was on the expedition (in fact, I was most afraid of letting Linfei find out, everything else was just an excuse). Lele told me that the people who appeared on the honor list were generally class presidents and teachers who had made achievements in their teaching careers, and Wang Wenlong was not the class leader, so he was not there, but you said that you saw Wang Wenlong there, and I doubted you at that time. β
"Oh? Is it? Lin Menghan's expression suddenly became inexplicably weird, and he continued to ask, "Then why do you dare to appear in front of me alone?" Are you guaranteed to beat me? β
"Humph! Of course. Mao Le sneered confidently, "After bringing the detector today, I scanned your element, and found that it was just ordinary metallic." β
"Aren't you surprised?"
"Huh? What do you mean? β
"Let me ask you, since your detector can scan me, why hasn't Liang Jieyang scanned it? He must have a detector on him, too. β
"Uh...... This ......" After Lin Menghan reminded Mao Le of this, he remembered what happened at Liu Tianyun's house before, "Maybe it's because Liang Jieyang turned off the detector after that......"
"No!" Lin Menghan interrupted Mao Le's words fiercely, "That's because I'm not a pure gold element at all, but a second-order element of the gold attributeβplatinum!" Let's fight, I've set up an enchantment here with water and phantom crystals, and the people around me can't hear the fighting here, and this forest won't catch fire because of the fire element. β
"What!?" Surprised, Mao Le realized that since he was in a weak position, he would strike first! Immediately put the flame that had been holding behind him towards Lin Menghan.
In the face of the sudden beam of flames, Lin Menghan was not afraid at all, and after touching the flames with one hand, accompanied by the evil smile on her face, the flames slowly transformed into golden balls in her hands, and said to Mao Le: "You humans are so ignorant, don't you know that after I distribute the elements to Liu Tianyun, my own elements will become one level lower?" I had already withdrawn the gold element on Liu Tianyun's body just now, and naturally became a platinum that could restrain you, an ordinary first-order attribute. β
"Why, but on the way here, the watch was still metallic." Knowing that his elemental advantage was suddenly gone, Mao Le didn't want to mention how panicked he was now.
"Humph! This is because people with Level 2 elements and above are free to control their own elemental level. In other words, although I am now platinum, I can completely control it and reduce the attribute by one level to metallic. That's how I induced you to come, you humans are so stupid. Saying that, Lin Menghan immediately counterattacked with the absorbed gold element!
"'You humans'? Why? Are you not from the earth? But why are you going against our expedition? With your ability, you can break through in the name of justice, why join the dark organization? After dodging Lin Menghan's attack, Mao Le finally heard the strangeness of Lin Menghan's words.
"It's finally dawned! My ancestors are not earthlings, but Saint Energy Stars who look very similar to earthlings! As soon as Lin Menghan said this, his face that was originally smiling evil immediately retracted, and his brows furrowed into an inverted figure, obviously angry for some reason, "The most disgusting thing for me is that you humans are animals, destroying your own planet, and ruining our homeland again, aren't those so-called 'dark organizations' that are doing evil on other planets of the Holy Energy Galaxy and destroying the natural environment the best proof of this?" β
"What are you kidding, that's your reason? What you see is only the bad side, we humans have also set up a space expedition team to deal with this matter in a timely manner, although there are not many people who have entered the space expedition, but now the first, second, and third generations of those expedition team have gone through decades of cultivation with the help of the country and the Holy Energy Star people, and all of them have great powers. β
"Forget it, don't just pick the nice ones." The sensitive Lin Menghan said that Mao Le didn't pay attention, and directly kicked him to the ground with a flying kick, stepped on it and said, "Look at this human society in your parallel universe: money is the supreme existence in this society, when a person is rich, a group of people follow behind his ass, and no one remembers him when he is poor." As long as the rich man does everything right, no matter what wrong things he does, no one dares to speak up when his family background is big. Money can't buy everything in your world, but it's enough to see through your entire stupid human civilization! Poor people, no matter how hard they try, get nothing but disappointment. Rich people, without working hard, can also have wealth that hundreds of millions of people can't earn in a few lifetimes! β
"No, it's not." Seeing that Lin Menghan was already a real enemy, Mao Le showed no mercy at all, and directly clenched his fist and served Lin Menghan on his ankle, "Even then, there are still a lot of inspirational stories, isn't it?" Our human endeavors must be meaningful...... Wow! β
Seeing Mao Le desperately resisting, Lin Menghan directly gathered half of the platinum elemental power in his body on his legs and kicked Mao Le in the stomach. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not easy for Mao Le to breathe, he immediately picked up Mao Le and pressed it on a thick tree, and his golden hand was already aimed at Mao Le's face, and said, "Aren't you humans like this?" I can only see such a successful example, but I don't know how many people are tormented by fate behind this success? In this world, there are really some people whose success is born out of countless coincidences! β
Mao Le was so tormented by the severe pain that he could barely open his eyes at this time, thinking: Damn, I made a mistake, why didn't they come here after Liang Jieyang......
"Mao Le? Where are you? Talk? At this time, Lingling's voice suddenly came from behind the big tree, and Lingling found here!
Damn, why is she here? Don't let her go quickly, or you'll have to explain it to me here...... When Mao Le just wanted to shout, he was covered by Lin Menghan.
"That's good, it's your captain of the Earth, right? But she doesn't use elementals, so you won't be alone in hell. Lin Menghan rubbed his throat with his other hand and changed to a sweet voice: "Lingling, Lele is here, I'm Lin Menghan, he doesn't know why he fainted in the forest, come here." It was only at this time that Mao Le finally realized how terrifying this kind of person was, a person who could freely transform between the devil and the angel.
"What? Lele fainted? Senior Sister Lin Menghan, are you behind this tree? β
Hearing Lingling's footsteps running over, Mao Le desperately resisted and tried to break free from Lin Menghan's restraints, but her strength was too great, and she was kicked in the stomach just now, and she couldn't even breathe, let alone resist.
However, Lin Menghan's golden hand had already grown a lightsaber at this time, and the next second after Lingling appeared in the field of vision of the two, Lin Menghan stabbed directly at Lingling. Because he was defenseless, Lin Menghan happened to stab Lingling in the abdomen.
After looking at Lin Menghan in surprise for two seconds, Lingling fell to the ground in pain and convulsed while holding her bloody abdomen......
Mao Le struggled to squeeze out a word from his mouth in a very small voice: "No ......"
