Chapter 524: The Enemy
Gong Yan hurriedly finished reading the text, and suddenly her heart was numb, and she looked up and just wanted to say something, but she saw that Brother Mu's originally bitter face suddenly became a smile-
"Mu'er, are you scared stupid? Or was you just blown up? I can still laugh now, it's too heartless!! Zhang Chengqiang said angrily.
"No, I'm sure he must have thought of some way to deal with it, so he was so confident!" When Gong Yan saw Brother Mu's confident smile, the pressure in her heart immediately dissipated a lot.
"Look, look, or my sister understands me!" Brother Mu said with a smile.
"Your sister?!" Zhang Chengqiang looked at Gong Yan, Gong Yan glanced at Brother Mu, her face flushed slightly, "Okay, now is not the time to joke, what countermeasures have you come up with?!" ”
Brother Mu smiled slightly, pulled Jin Ling from the wall, and took off a short arrow from the dark crossbow with a broken arm, "They are just like this, they can only be a little threatening by this-" He smiled at Zhang Chengqiang again: "Look, I and the palace officer dealt with four of them without preparation, and we will be on guard in the future, hehe-"
"Mu'er, you are fearless who don't know-" Zhang Chengqiang glanced at Brother Mu, "I'll tell you again that you're a big one--it is said that the 'Phantom' wants to assassinate someone, and the killers sent are weak first and then strong, and after the low-level killers fail, the ones who come back are not so easy to deal with, if you can survive a round, then the next time you face ......"
"Also, there is a level?" Brother Mu's face darkened a little, "Then this batch-"
"Their hierarchy is very strict, this can be seen in the clothing, the darker the color, the lower the rank, you see these people are dressed darker than crows, that means - alas!" Zhang Chengqiang sighed and couldn't bear to say any more. It was Brother Mu who took it himself: "Their level can't be lower than it can be lower - it's the ...... who sweeps the floor and wipes the table in the 'Shadow'" Brother Mu spoke a little weakly, and he put the short arrow in front of his eyes and looked at it again. The brow became tighter and tighter.
"But fortunately, you still have a few days to prepare - 'Phantom' has strict rules, for the same target, once you miss, it will take at least 7 days before you can come back, and it is estimated that you will also use this time to collect detailed information about the target." Zhang Chengqiang said.
"Alas, then I have to thank them, and let me be worried for another 7 days-" Brother Mu said with a bitter face, handing the short arrow to Zhang Chengqiang, but his eyes glanced at a telephone pole not far away.
The short arrows were engraved with strangely shaped runes. Zhang Chengqiang was a little surprised after reading it: "This, this is-"
"It's a forbidden text that can beat living beings to pieces, and it's also fed with a lot of poison, one destroys the soul, and the other melts the body, what kind of killer organization is this, so ruthless!!" Brother Mu hated it so much that the root of his teeth itched.
"Are he—are they all exorcists?" Zhang Chengqiang said.
Brother Mu shook his head and said, "The notches on these arrows are all new, and the runes are also a little messy, obviously they have only been carved for a short time. And it should have been very urgent at the time, there were many comparisons that were not in place, which greatly affected the power of the runes, according to what you said. 'Phantom' is a golden signboard, a time-honored killer organization, and it must be quite mature in terms of weapons and equipment, and it will definitely not be prepared in such a hurry-"
"What do you mean—" Zhang Chengqiang asked.
"The person who killed me 'just now' may have been the 'Shadow'. But their weapon—" Mu Ge pointed to the short arrow, "is not their own, but someone else!" ”
"It's an exorcist!" Zhang Chengqiang was taken aback.
Brother Mu nodded: "And it should be their employer." Someone who is about to place a 'bounty order'. ”
"Mu'er, don't you have to worry, isn't there still 7 days left, I'll immediately mobilize people and go all out to investigate-" Zhang Chengqiang said hatefully, "I will definitely help you find out this bastard!" He looked at Gong Yan again and hesitated: "These days-"
"Don't worry, it won't take 7 days to settle my sister's affairs." Brother Mu smiled, and his eyes glanced at the telephone pole not far away again.
"What, Mu'er, there's a clue?!" Zhang Chengqiang was overjoyed.
"It seems to have a clue-" Brother Mu nodded, and took out a bottle of cow tears for the two of them to apply.
Zhang Chengqiang and Gong Yan did so, looked in the direction of Brother Mu's finger, and found at a glance that under the telephone pole, a figure was fluttering at the moment, with a broken stomach and a fierce face, staring directly at them.
"Tu, Tubu?!" Zhang Chengqiang and Gong Yan exclaimed.
"To be exact, it's the 'ghost corpse' he turned into." Brother Mu said lightly, "It is not shallowly injured, and it will not become a threat within two days." ”
"Then it keeps following—" Zhang Chengqiang wondered.
"That's what I'm talking about-" Brother Mu stared at Zhang Chengqiang for a long time before he said, "Okay, let's give it a try, Qiangzi, wait for you to go east, let's go west, and see how the 'ghost corpse' reacts." ”
Zhang Chengqiang was a little confused, but he didn't have time to ask more, because Mu Ge had almost walked out of the alley with Gong Yan, so he turned around and walked to the end of the alley, got into the car and drove out of the side street slowly.
……
"It's—it's gone!" Gong Yan was beside Brother Mu, looking at the telephone pole a little nervously, and then looking left and right, but there was still no.
Brother Mu smiled but didn't answer, took Gong Yan through the streets and alleys, walked straight for more than 10 minutes before slowing down, he took out his mobile phone and dialed out.
……
"Hello? Mu'er, what do you mean? What do I have to wander around the streets? Zhang Chengqiang complained into the phone, "I'm still a butt thing!" ”
"Hehe, Qiangzi, you drive the car slower again, and take a good look at the front, back, left, right—" Brother Mu laughed on the phone, "By the way, if it's convenient, look up and down." ”
"What are you doing?! If you delay me—uh—" Zhang Chengqiang stopped abruptly halfway through his words.
……
"Let's go, sister, let's go and see what trouble our brother Qiang has encountered." Brother Mu hung up the phone and pulled Gong Yan into a taxi.
When Brother Mu and Gong Yan rushed to Zhang Chengqiang's place, Zhang Chengqiang was leaning on the side of the car and smoking.
"There-" Zhang Chengqiang held a cigarette butt in his mouth and lowered his chin, "Wherever I go, it will follow me, as if it wants to be my bodyguard!" ”
Gong Yan looked over there, and there was a faint phantom floating in a corner of the street, which was the "ghost corpse" that Tu Bu had turned into.
"That's right!" "It seems that revenge for killing the palace officer is not the only purpose of this 'ghost' gentleman - it is clear that he has more important things to do than that." (To be continued......)
