Chapter Twenty-Three: Expectation in the Dark

It's late, 3000 words are served!

In the face of the afterimage, Jigokubana can't refute it at all, the transformation project he has accepted, no one in the organization knows about it, including the betrayer in front of him, because of this, he will be arranged by the organization to be an assassin, but he knows that no matter how much he accepts the transformation, he can't beat the masked man in front of him, this is a fact he doesn't want to accept, but has to admit.

"I'll pick the first one." Jigokubana spoke slowly, and at the same time put the sword in his hand back on his body, without the slightest hint of resistance.

Jigokubana's actions made the afterimage slightly startled, and then he drew a trace of arc under the mask, and said to him: "I haven't finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry?" Don't you regret the decision you made? ”

"What's the use of regretting?" Jigokubana smiled disdainfully, "In the face of a top magician, no matter what card you choose, the final result is definitely something I don't want to see, so I need to choose, you also said that even if the bomb explodes, I won't die, at most, I'm recuperating in the organization for a while, and this result is also what you want to see, right?" ”

"As the saying goes, don't be impressed for three days, you have become wiser, not as reckless as before." As he spoke, the afterimage stood up and patted Jigokubana's shoulder, "Since this is your idea, then I can't say anything, I hope you can protect this fate card, maybe you can use it in the future." ”

After speaking, the afterimage threw the first of the playing cards to jigokubana, and then turned to leave, looking at the back of the black cloak, jigokubana shook his head slightly, looked at the playing cards in his hand, and smiled helplessly, it was a square piece A.

I didn't expect it to be put on the table. Jigokubana shook his head, although he didn't know what this playing card meant, but judging from the fact that the afterimage did not defuse the bomb and turned away, and he wanted to get up from the ground and leave the attic, but his body did not listen to the call at all, he was sure that no matter what card he chose, the result would be to wait here for the bomb to explode.

Looking at the bomb in front of him, jigokubana put square A into his pocket, then stretched out his right hand, grabbed the bomb, threw it at a distance of about two meters from him, and then bent his legs, held his calves with both hands, and buried his head deep in it.

……

Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu ran all the way, and in less than a minute, they returned to the hall where the banquet was held, the fire was still burning violently, but there was no one in the hall, needless to say that they knew that those people should escape.

"Little Ouyang, here." A familiar voice came from behind them, Ouyang Xiu and Zheng Hanfei immediately turned their heads to look, and found that Zhou Zheng, who was disheveled and scarred on his face, waved at them, so they immediately rushed in front of him.

"Inspector Zhou Zheng, you ......" Before the words were finished, Zhou Zheng's loud voice almost deafened the ears of Ouyang Xiu and Zheng Hanfei, fortunately there was no banquet at this time, otherwise this voice would definitely be regarded as a joke by everyone.

"Zheng Hanfei, why are you here?" Obviously, Zhou Zheng was surprised by the sudden appearance of Zheng Hanfei, in order to verify that this was a real person, not someone who was disguised or looked similar, Zhou Zheng also deliberately pinched Zheng Hanfei's face, and looked at Zheng Hanfei carefully with a sharp look, so that the two of them didn't know what to say.

"Let's wait until we go out, Inspector Zhouzheng." Zheng Hanfei said as he pushed Zhou Zheng out of here, "The bomb will explode in a while, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ”

Although he didn't understand what was going on, seeing Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu's solemn looks, Zhou Zheng had no choice but to obey their orders, taking advantage of the fact that the bomb did not explode, and quickly escaped from the escape passage that Zhongli Yue'er and the others found.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous." Ouyang Xiu patted his chest, exhaled a long breath, then looked at Zheng Hanfei who was staring at the attic, and said lightly, "By the way, how do you know that the bomb is going to explode, didn't you say that the afterimage won't let the bomb explode?" ”

"Even if it explodes, he won't let it explode in a populated place." Zheng Hanfei said the rest of the words, but his eyes were still staring at the attic, as if he had found something, "It turns out that although the volume of this bomb is large, the power is not great, and there should be no one else in this building, so the afterimage will make him explode." ”

"You're wrong, there's another person in that building." Ouyang Xiu pointed out the loopholes in Zheng Hanfei's words.

"You said the person from the organization, right?" Zheng Hanfei turned his head to look at Ouyang Xiu and continued, "Since the afterimage stayed there, I'm afraid he had already taken that person away before the bomb exploded, of course, these are just my conjectures, and it is possible that the afterimage will also leave that person there, but after the fire is extinguished, let Inspector Zhou Zheng investigate the scene and know what is going on." ”

"Alas, I didn't expect that in the end, it was just a bamboo basket for water." Hearing Zheng Hanfei say this, Ouyang Xiu couldn't say anything, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, so he asked Zhou Zheng, "By the way, Inspector Zhou Zheng, where is the wolf?" It's the guy who stands in our way, where did he go? ”

"You said him." Hearing Ouyang Xiu mention this matter, Zhou Zheng sighed slightly and said, "He escaped." ”

"Escaped? What's going on? Inspector Zhou Zheng, can't you beat him? Ouyang Xiu looked at Zhou Zheng in surprise, in his cognition, except for the battle with the afterimage, Zhou Zheng basically ended in a draw, and there seemed to be no second person who made Zhou Zheng so embarrassed.

"He's better than me." Zhou Zheng told Ouyang Xiu and Zheng Hanfei what happened at that time, "At that time, I was already at the end of the crossbow, Nat, no, it should be said that disguised as his afterimage saved me, kicked him into a room, and when I rushed into that room, he had already fled, apparently escaped through the window." At that time, I wanted to save you with the Remnant, but the Remnant said no, no way, I just went back to the hall first to make sure that the escape route was not engulfed in flames, otherwise none of us could escape. ”

"It seems that the afterimage saved everyone this time, but next time ......" Before he finished speaking, Zheng Hanfei felt a soft body hugging him, his shoulders seemed to be a little wet, and he was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and found Nan Ruoxun looking at him with tears in his eyes.

"Little ...... Kaoru-chan?! Zheng Hanfei became stammering when he spoke, no way, since he was a child, he didn't seem to have been hugged by anyone of the opposite sex, so he was naturally a little nervous.

"You're Xiaofei, right?" Nan Ruoxun asked nervously, she was really afraid that this person was not.

"Yes, of course." Zheng Hanfei calmed down his nervousness and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm late to come back, so you and the others are worried." ”

Nan Ruoxun didn't speak, just crawled on Zheng Hanfei's shoulder and cried, she was afraid, she was really afraid that this was a dream, she just wanted to hug Zheng Hanfei tightly now and not let this dream disappear.

"Ahem, Inspector Zhou Zheng, let's go, don't disturb them, some people in the province will use violence against us in the future." Faced with this situation, Ouyang Xiu was very discerning, coughed lightly, winked at Zheng Hanfei, and pulled Zhou Zheng away.

"It's good to be young." Zhou Zheng said meaningfully, and also winked at Zheng Hanfei, and left with Ouyang Xiu with a smile.

"It's back, it's finally back." On the other side, seeing Zheng Hanfei who was being hugged tightly by Nan Ruoxun, Clifford smiled slightly, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Although I didn't catch the tail of the organization this time, but for the sake of Zheng Hanfei's face when he came back unscathed, forget it, let's spare them once this time." ”

Hearing this, Sheriff Tim just smiled faintly, and his heart was even more relieved, fortunately Zheng Hanfei was back, otherwise it would be difficult for him to imagine that Clifford would have made any more crazy moves for the organization. As for Amy, who was standing on the side, pressed the brim of her hat, her eyes gradually narrowed, staring at Zheng Hanfei's figure, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Zheng Hanfei...... Who are you?!

……

At the same time, on a dark street relatively close to the scene of the crime, the wolf dragged the scarred Jigokubana and walked slowly, until he saw a street lamp that was emitting light, and a cold voice sounded in the air: "Why did you let us retreat, didn't you find that he had come out?" ”

"If you stay there, you'll just be arrested by the British police." A lazy voice sounded in the wolf's ears, and when he heard the sound, the wolf found that there was nothing under the street lamp and suddenly there was an extra woman, as if she was magically appearing out of thin air, "Haven't you discovered that this banquet is originally a conspiracy?" The nobles who attended the banquet had pistols almost strapped to their waists, and there were dozens of policemen in the vicinity of the building, and if I guessed correctly, I am afraid that these people were called by my dear brother. ”

"Is that him?" Hearing the woman say this, the wolf suddenly understood what was going on, and a look of disgust suddenly appeared on his face, "I knew that I should have killed him that time, anyway, you have already disconnected from them, and you won't be sad if he dies." ”

"Of course not, but if you want to kill him on his turf, you just wait to die." Hearing the wolf's words, the woman smiled disdainfully and reminded, "He's not as easy to solve as you think. ”

"Don't talk about that now." The wolf dragged Jigokubana in front of the woman and said angrily, "Jigokubana is seriously injured, the goal has not been solved, and we really lost badly this time." ”

"If you lose, you lose, life is like a play, no one will win all the time. Next time, we'll just let him taste defeat, let's go, let's go back. With that, the woman turned away, leaving behind a beautiful back.

"Understood, BlackDatura." The wolf said lightly, dragging Jigokubana to follow her closely, leaving the gloomy street.

I didn't expect you to join forces with him, and I was convinced, but will you be able to continue to win next time? Thinking of this, BlackDatura smiled faintly and looked back at the brilliant flames, his eyes full of excitement.

How much potential can the flame of justice you cultivate unleash? I'm looking forward to it!
