Early in the morning, Gaotan City, the most edge of the city.

"The world...... This world it ...... Are you terminally ill enough to be this point?" He stepped on the asphalt road, but in front of him was a ruined cliff, and when he looked down, there was no bottom, and the black and gray mist was spreading.

A middle-aged man with gray-brown hair spread a faint energy defense field around him, scanning everything as far as his eye could see with a military binocular.

According to Zhu Peng's investigation so far, Gaotan City has been swallowed into the stomach pocket by a transcendent life of an evil camp, and the remaining dimensional will and human civilization are just lingering.

Looking down from the military telescope, there are naked humanoid monsters entrenched in the black and gray mist below the Great Rift Valley, and at the same time, the remnants of the cliff are still cracking downwards with earth and rocks, although the speed and frequency are not too fast, but this is obviously irreversible permanent damage.

The essentia energy in the slightly excited state burned about two percent of the unit amount, and before further consumption, Zhu Peng retreated and withdrew from the range of the rift zone on the edge of the city.

That is, as a spy wizard, if it is an ordinary human, let alone seeing this scene with his own eyes, he will instinctively feel uncomfortable just by approaching the edge of the city, and if he comes with some kind of obsession and endures the discomfort, he will either "accidentally" fall into the rift zone and be eaten by the humanoid monsters in the gray mist, or he will "lose" the relevant memories in the process of returning to Gaotan City.

This is a self-protection mechanism that is devastated by the will of the world's civilization, just like a patient with terminal cancer, the hospital no longer offers salvage treatment, only life-prolonging medical treatment...... If the human beings within the province with Gaotan City as the center know the truth of this world, then this surviving world will really fall in a very short period of time.

At that point, even the last hope of a reversal was gone.

The world plane the size of a province is indeed a little pitiful, but if you are lucky enough to survive it, after the accumulation of time and years, in fact, it may not be possible to regenerate and expand to the territory of the earth, before the Great Voyage of the Middle Ages, Asia is a world, Europe is a world, Africa is a world, but after a certain opportunity and chance, the world has united into one, which is a huge improvement in the level of the world plane and the advancement of civilization.

Walking out of the rift zone on the edge of the city, Zhu Peng rubbed his forehead, looking at the destruction of the world was also a huge impact on his spirit at this time, in order to resist the memory erasure mechanism of the plane's will, Zhu Peng even had to burn two more points of essentia energy before he successfully absconded from a world-class desperate struggle area.

Walking alone for half an hour, Zhu Peng's footsteps are very fast, he walks for half an hour, and others have to walk for nearly two hours.

Not far away, a short, thin taxi driver in a plaid shirt couldn't wait, he stood and paced back and forth next to the car.

At this moment, Zhu Peng understands his state, within this area, people in this world will feel uncomfortable, just like a person on the edge of a cliff, the feeling that he may fall down at any time and break his bones.

"Return to the city. Without saying anything, Zhu Peng pulled the car door, and the short and thin taxi driver also quickly got in, stepped on the accelerator directly, and started the car.

Although the car was not slow, and it did not go far at all, but when it returned to Gaotan City, it was already close to the afternoon, the closer it was to the densely populated place, the more comfortable and excited the little master who drove the taxi, although he wore a hat and even a beard, but Zhu Peng still saw from the details exposed by the other party that the taxi master in front of him was only a half-grown child.

In fact, if you don't really need money, no taxi driver will want to go to such a remote place.

His eyes swept over the young man's rough skin, his clothes that had been repeatedly sewn and his palms with chilblains, and when he arrived at his door and got off the bus, Zhu Peng took out Konstantin's wallet and handed most of the banknotes in it to the other party, not only paying the fare in full, but also giving a full tip...... The reward for solving the task of the bald butcher in the madhouse is about to come down, and people like Zhu Peng only lack big money even if they lack money, and he does not lack small money.

"At your age, don't take on any more jobs next time, go to such a far away and such a remote place, the more you need money, the more you have to ensure your safety, your family is still counting on you, right?" said lightly, and then pushed the door and got out of the car, but Zhu Peng hadn't walked a few steps before he heard the sound of running and wheezing behind him.

"Sir...... Sir, huhoo. The little taxi driver, who had caught up, no longer concealed his voice at this time, took off his hat, and although he had a beard under his nose, he was indeed only a half-old young man, a teenager.

"What's wrong? I shouldn't have lost your fare. ”

"Ah, Mr. Konstantin...... Whew, you're walking fast. The young man with some freckles on his face clutched his chest and gasped.

“...... Do you know me?"

"Demon Walker, Hell Detective, Dark Knight Konstantin, you are my idol, and I have followed all the reports about your case last week. As he spoke, the young driver pulled out a dozen newspapers from his arms.

Zhu Peng glanced at the young man in front of him, took the newspaper in his hand, and what he saw was indeed all relevant reports about himself, and some of the newspapers even had photos attached to them: a middle-aged man in a windbreaker, holding a silver revolver in his left hand and a silver knife inscribed with runes in his right hand, jumped up and waved the knife light past a fat and strong man with a fierce appearance.

It was the last cut that cut off the bald butcher's head a week ago.

(There must have been undercover agents of these newspaper reporters among the officers, and this kind of picture was successfully captured, indicating that he was very close to the scene at the time.) Zhu Peng has been busy recuperating his body and recuperating from his injuries for a week, and he has no habit of reading newspapers at home behind closed doors.

"Why, do you want my autograph? I'll sign it for you, and then hurry home." As he spoke, Zhu Peng took out a pen from his windbreaker and signed the name "Konstantin Chino" to the young man in front of him, but the newspaper was handed back to the young man with an excited face. However, the young man did not leave satisfied, but followed Zhu Peng, who was striding forward, and trotted all the way.

"Monsieur Konstantin, I have felt that you are very much like the man in the newspaper, of course, that is, you are, but I have not dared to confirm it until you have paid me so much and got off the street that I am truly sure that it is you. ”

"Excuse me...... Do you have no helpers or apprentices? I can drive, I know all the news on the street, and I charge very little, every month, every month you can give me fifteen pounds, or ...... Or you can give me ten pounds. ”

Zhu Peng didn't pay attention to the young man who followed him, he wouldn't stay in this world for too long, so it was best not to have too much to do with the natives of his own plane, although being a spy was not very taboo about this.

came to the door of his house, walked up the stairs and took out the bronze key to open the door, at this time the taxi boy was already exhausted and panting because of following and eager self-introduction, Zhu Peng lowered his head and opened the door and ignored him.

"Please, take me, my father was killed by demons, I will ...... You must become a witcher!" Vicky, the taxi boy suddenly raised his head and shouted at the moment when Zhu Peng pushed open the door, his thin little face was covered with wanton flowing water marks at this moment, and it seemed that the emotion was extremely strong.

Zhu Peng pushed open the door, and looked sideways at him for a while because of Vicky's shout, and the indifferent gaze made the young man stunned for a while.

"Lie, your father died of a stomach problem, and you were carrying a water bladder in your left hand at this time, and you just took advantage of the fact that you lowered your head and squeezed water into your face...... The acting skills are good, try to be an actor, you are more promising to do that. After saying that, Zhu Peng left a confused Vicky and walked into the house.

However, at this time, a chubby middle-aged man wearing a top hat and dressing appropriately, he came to the other side of the steps of Zhu Peng's house with a cane, opposite to Vicky.

"Excuse me, is it Mr. Konstantin?"

“...... I am. ”

"Contemptible Bruding Canor, is it convenient for me to go in and have a cup of tea?" The chubby middle-aged man took off his hat and looked very polite, but Vicky jumped up to Zhu Peng's side, and the clever young man leaned into the middle-aged man's ear and whispered: "Sir, Bruding Canor is a big business owner, a big mine owner, a railway tycoon, and a super rich man." ”

“............”

"This farm on the map is the property of the Canor family, although it is now the most modest part of my estate, but the inherent assets of the family must not be lost, but something strange has happened there recently, before I came to find you, I also sent a few teams of mercenaries over, but they brought me the best result, but it was just an escaped madman...... A week ago, I saw the newspaper, and then I thought that maybe I had gone in the wrong direction, and would you like to solve the problem for me, Mr. Konstantin?"

"Of course, I'm a businessman and I know that anything has a price, and I'm absolutely happy with my pay. As he spoke, Brudin-Canor took out a checkbook from his arms, wrote a row of numbers on it, and then tore it off and pushed it to Konstantin, that is, Zhu Peng.

"Wow...... Oh my God, sir, we, us. The young man Vicky, who was standing next to Zhu Peng, was not good when he saw the string of zeros on the check, and he wanted to get the check with some nonsense, but Bruding Canor, a fat businessman, held the check down, and his eyes kept looking at the middle-aged man across his table.

And Zhu Peng's gaze also swept up and down Brudin Canor's body back and forth, that gaze was not sharp or terrifying, but it made Bruding Canor, who was crisscrossing the mall, only feel cold all over his body, as if he was sitting in front of each other without a wisp, which was a feeling he hadn't felt for decades.

"I'm sorry, I won't accept the task of concealing the contents, you can take the check back, I think there are a lot of witchers in this city who don't mind waiting for you to hire. Turning around and standing up, Zhu Peng took out a cigarette from his windbreaker, lit it and took a deep breath, which was indeed a very effective medicine for Konstantin Chino's body, which lifted his spirits.

"What do you want to know? I just want to take back my estate. ”

"I would like to know what you are hiding, which may seem to you just a little personal privacy, but a little bit of your privacy may have killed us in the mission, and if you think you can't say it, the door is there. Zhu Peng took a deep breath with his fingers holding the cigarette, and then he suddenly turned the glass next to him and buckled a spider crawling onto the table.

Then, he tossed half of his cigarette into the empty glass, watching the spider in the glass struggle in the diffuse nicotine, stumble, and then little by little on the verge of death.

Brudin Canor turned away with a look of anger hidden in his face, and in Vicky's painful look, Zhu Peng quietly watched the fireworks gradually extinguishing in the glass, and at this time, Brudin Canor walked back with a gloomy expression.

"Mr. Konstantin, you won. Pulling back from his chair, Brudin-Canor sat back down, revealing what he had hidden.

"Actually, I don't mind what happened to the farmstead, the only thing I care about is whether my only brother Sivar is still alive in a retirement home deep in the farm, I ...... When I was young, I did bad things to him in order to inherit the Canor family's inheritance, and two months ago I suddenly lost all news of him. Konstantin, I hired you to take him out, and if my brother is dead, I will see his body too, I ......" At this point, Brudin suddenly froze, and he looked sideways at the seemingly unreliable taxi driver Vicky, with a look of obvious distrust.

"You don't have to worry, since I dare to let him listen, I am naturally sure that he will not be able to say it at all. When Zhu Peng said this, the little face of Vicky on the side turned pale, after all, Zhu Peng's words sounded like a posture of "killing people and killing people".

And Brudin, who seemed to understand it this way, groaned for a moment, and then continued:

"The reason why I am so cautious is because it is related to my life's work, after so many years of hard work, the family industry has grown dozens of times in my hands, I ...... My doctor told me that I was terminally ill and had less than two months to live at most, that I had no heirs, that I wanted Sivar to inherit everything that I had, and that I didn't want to cheapen my family's relatives and nephews who had nothing to do with me. ”

"............" Zhu Peng quietly listened to every word Brudin Canor said, his eyes were always fixed on the fat man in front of him, and he closed his eyes and groaned after the other party finished speaking.

"Understood, we'll take over this mission. However, please add a zero to the end of the cheque, the big case related to your heirs, just that little bit is simply disrespectful to you and your huge business. Opening his eyes, Zhu Peng said so.

"If Mr. Constantine has always treated others with respect in this way, I hope you don't have to respect me. Although there is some indignation, for Brudin Canor, whose money is almost just a number, the stronger and more unfathomable the other party becomes, the more relieved he is, and for rich people, it is really normal to spend money to buy peace of mind.

After Zhu Peng sent the gold owner away, he received the signed check into the trench coat, although the full amount can only be really withdrawn after the task is completed, but only the part of the deposit that can be spent now is rich enough.

"God, Mr. Constantine, can you see through people's hearts? How can you possibly know that Mr. Bruding is hiding the content of the mission?" At this moment, the young Vicky on the side has admired Zhu Peng to the point of no return.

"Don't be stupid, how can I see through people's hearts, it's just that people have some subconscious small actions when they lie, or when they cover up, if he doesn't say it, I don't know what he's hiding. ”

"But, but you can directly see my father......" Vicky was still helping Zhu Peng make up for it, obviously unable to accept the fact that the idol was disillusioned.

"That's because you have leftover stomach medicine in your car, which is obviously impossible for your age. Don't be dominated by adoration or fear, some emotion, that will only lead you to a disillusionment. With that, Zhu Peng walked up to the young man and drew a symbol on his forehead.

Vicky only felt a chill on his forehead, as if something had seeped in.

"First...... What have you done to me, sir?"

"Secrecy spell, if you leak anything you just heard and saw, your male ** officer will lose its function from now on, understand?" Konstantin himself can't drive, and the cars in this world are completely different from the earth in terms of structure and driving, not to mention that Zhu Peng, the earth's car, also can't drive, so it is also necessary to hire a clever Vicky.

He was able to overcome his discomfort and go to the edge of the city according to Zhu Peng's request and wait there for a long time, and he could complete many other instructions according to Zhu Peng's request.

...... A world of collapse, a witcher walking in the middle of light and darkness......

In the afternoon, after temporarily sending off Vicky, Zhu Peng was promoted to a senior wizard apprentice with a breath of effort, processing fresh ingredients to make nutritious medicinal meals for himself while sorting out the spell system.

Zhu Peng canceled all the other circuits of his meditation system, and directly solidified a flame control: the burning hand, in other words, from now on, Zhu Peng's spell ability in other aspects will be completely reduced, but the flame control ability will surge significantly, which is a practice chosen by many spies in the course training, through the specialization of a certain field, in exchange for the power that does not meet their own level.

If you do this kind of thing in the main world itself, of course, you will squander your potential and cut off the future, but in this descended world, there is no future in itself.

After solidifying his meditation system, Zhu Peng closed his eyes slightly, connected to his original will wrapped in layers of essentia energy, and found the one of the Purgatory Demon Dog Arthurs among several flickering balls of light. When he opened his eyes again, the purgatory fire that was absolutely impossible for a normal wizard apprentice to control was already burning on his palm.

Throwing his hand and dispersing the fierce fire, there is still a slight gap compared to the purgatory fierce fire controlled by Arthurs, but Zhu Peng is now a high-level wizard apprentice, if this thing is pasted on the face of any first- or second-order existence, unless the other party is extremely rough and thick-skinned, otherwise the result will often be an instant kill.

Zhu Peng's own flame control meditation circuit, in fact, the only role is only to establish a connection channel with Arthurs, and the Purgatory Demon Dog provides Zhu Peng with a strong fire, what it needs to pay attention to most is not to output power, but to maintain the channel, don't let the fire explode the energy channel, and burn its own master.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door of the room, Zhu Peng turned off the stove, had to put down the half-finished soup just now, and ran over to open the door wearing an apron.

(At this point, I felt that it was necessary to find an assistant.) Through the door, he saw a beautiful female police officer in civilian clothes, Kiman, so Zhu Peng directly pushed the door open.

"Well, don't be in such a hurry to come over and give me the bonus, although I am indeed in a hurry, but I am sorry to trouble you to come over all night. ”

When he saw Konstantin's apron, Kidman was indeed stunned for a moment. However, listening to the other party's ruffian words, the girl couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't think about your bonus, it's good not to bother you in the next game. With that, Kidman threw a newspaper to Zhu Peng.

During this time, there were never a few newspapers about Konstantin, but the one in front of me was completely different in concept, and most of the newspapers in the past week praised Konstantin for his bravery, or at least called him the Dark Knight, a hero who walked in the night.

However, the newspaper that Kidman threw out was titled "Hero? Maybe he's the murderer of the next moment!" The attached photo is a picture of Zhu Peng and Kidman putting magic skins in the bag together.

"It's because I believe in your crooked reasoning that I have lost my job now, and you are responsible for the rest of my life. ”

(You have the ability to take pictures of me secretly, and it's from this angle...... Zhu Peng's mind flashed back to the scene from a week ago, which of course was impossible for ordinary people, but for a legendary wizard whose brain potential had reached a certain level, it was no more difficult to do this than to recall what he had eaten at noon at night.

Originally, Zhu Peng didn't care much about this matter, but now it is obvious that someone is hostile to him and is mistreating himself, and if he doesn't find out who the other party is, he will fight back, and he will be too tolerant.

The images in my mind swept over the police officer's body one by one, and finally stopped at a man who looked like Sven was wearing glasses...... Brett!

"The Plague of Innocence...... He didn't notice me at all, but his eyes followed you, and that's why I was implicated. "When I opened my eyes, I was already clear.

"What did you say?" asked Kidman, somewhat confused.

"Did I say I would stay for dinner at night? I caused you to lose your job, and by the way, I also paid for the demon slaying equipment promised to you. With a harmless smile on his face, Zhu Peng turned sideways in a gesture of invitation, and introduced the beautiful girl into the room, and at the moment when he closed the door, his eyes swept away, and he caught a figure of intentional avoidance among passers-by.

can only be said to be worthy of a senior police officer, if you don't pay attention, Brett's hiding ability is almost even hidden from Zhu Peng.

When he closed the door, a sneer had already bloomed at the corner of Zhu Peng's lips.

"Well, the beef is very soft and the porridge is very flavorful...... What is this dish? Chino, I've known you for so long, and I didn't know until today that you actually know how to cook and do it so well. ”

"Everyone will have a little secret of their own, once I also wanted to be a good family man, who knew that I would go further and further on the road of muscular men, and now it seems that I may not be able to turn back in this life. At the dinner table, Zhu Peng made a sad expression, then raised his wine glass and touched it lightly with Kidman, and drank it.

At the same time, Brett, a senior police officer hiding in a corner of the street, munched on a stiff hamburger and curled up in the cold wind, watching his favorite girl and an old man have a candlelit dinner through the lamplight. He wanted to pull out his gun and rush in several times, but Brett finally suppressed this emotion, but he was unwilling to leave, who knows if the old beast would do something inferior to the pure Kidman?

Looking at the shivering man in the corner through the window, and sipping the wine in the goblet, Killan in front of him looked more and more delicate and moving, as clear as ice and jade.

After eating a meal for about forty minutes, Zhu Peng and Kidman cleaned up the table together, and then Zhu Peng took out a silver revolver from his room, and when he was in his room, Zhu Peng's palm burned with a vigorous fire, and fine-tuned the internal structure of the gun through burning and quenching, and he also incorporated several silver bullets into it, making this silver gun more and more silver.

Then, Zhu Peng walked back to the living room, Kidman was sitting sideways on a chair, looking down at the street scene below, after the wine and food just now, the girl seemed to be a little drunk, and she was reluctant to move.

"No, I'm talking about it, this is a high-quality weapon carefully prepared for you, with it, like that bald butcher a week ago, about six shots can be directly shot in the head. ”

(If it's standing there and at your mercy.) Walked over to the table and handed the silver revolver over.

"Except that it's relatively new, how does it look so similar to your previous one?" asked Kidman as he took the pistol, a little confused, but still looked like he couldn't put it down.
