Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Search for White Pigment
Compared with the previous two visits, today's mission hall seemed a little deserted, and as soon as Gu Chen entered, a voice sounded.
"What, are you going to go on a mission just after you come back?"
It's Li Quan!
Li Quan is the Dragon Tiger Guard who manages the tasks of the Dragon and Tiger Army, Gu Chen came back yesterday, and he handed over the task to him, of course, seeing that Gu Chen was delayed for so long, he asked two more words by the way, and then the two got to know each other.
Walking over in two steps, Gu Chen said, "Can't be idle, do you have any good tasks?"
The so-called good task is nothing more than a combination of many merits, simple tasks, and convenient back and forth.
Li Quan smiled and said, "You came late, you did have a good task just now, but it was snatched away." β
"Really?" Gu Chen smiled indifferently, "Are there any other good tasks then?"
Today's leisure, Li Quan is not too troublesome, and said, "You wait, I'll find it for you." β
After rummaging through several notebooks, Li Quan found three tasks and said, "These three tasks are all good, but they are in three different directions, which one do you want to do?"
"Where are they?" asked Gu Chen.
"Well, this first mission is in Shahe Town on the east side, this second mission is in Heimu Town on the west side, and this third mission is in Bailin Town on the south side, you ....... β
"Bailin Town?" Before Li Quan could finish speaking, Gu Chen suddenly interrupted him.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Gu Chen strangely, Li Quan didn't know what to be surprised about.
"Nothing. Gu Chen said, "It's just this task in Bailin Town, I like the name." β
Love the name?
Li Quan was incredulous for a while, he didn't see that Gu Chen was so willful, but since he had already chosen, he didn't say anything.
After taking over the file of Bailin Town's mission, Gu Chen didn't stay long, and after chatting casually with Li Quan, he returned to his residence.
"...... Bailin Town?"
In the quiet room, Gu Chen sighed for a while, in fact, there was nothing special about this name, but there was someone he was looking for in this town.
White Su!
This name, the first time Gu Chen heard about it was in the prison of the Dragon and Tiger Army, it was told to him by the old man who died.
That's right, Bai Su is actually the daughter entrusted to him by the old man, and Bailin Town also coincides with the location.
Gu Chen did not forget the things that promised the old man, originally he wanted to wait for himself to gain a firm foothold in the Dragon and Tiger Army before picking up Bai Su, but now that Lin Hai is dead, he is also safe in the Dragon and Tiger Army, and it is also in line with the timing to pick up Bai Su at this time.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen made up his mind, and after cleaning up, he left the courtyard, but before he could go down the mountain, he met Qin Rong halfway.
Like a ghost, Gu Chen was very surprised, how could he meet her anywhere?
Looking at Gu Chen quietly, Qin Rong said, "Thank you." β
"Thank me, thank me for what?" Gu Chen was a little puzzled.
"Thank you for not exposing me to Wang Zhan. Qin Rong said, "Wang Zhan went to send you an invitation today, and I saw it all." β
It turned out to be this thing.
Gu Chen said without waves, "Don't thank me, Wang Zhan and I are not friends, and I won't offend you because of him, because I know that if I offend you, I don't know when you will be stabbed in the back." β
In Qin Rong's ears, this seemed to be a compliment, and she smiled, "Are you going to do a task?"
"Yes. β
"What task?"
"I don't know. β
I don't know, Gu Chen's figure is already two feet away, looking at Gu Chen's gradually disappearing figure, Qin Rong muttered, "Gu Chen, do you really think that the matter between us is over, you are too naΓ―ve, what I Qin Rong fancies, I will definitely get it at all costs, you wait......." β
If he could hear what Qin Rong said, Gu Chen might have returned to kill her, but he had already gone far .......
Bailin Town, about four days away from Ziyue Mountain, is a rather prosperous town, but Gu Chen's mission this time is not in the town, the reason why he came to the town is to find Bai Su.
At the beginning, the old man told him before he died that Bai Su lived in the town, and as for the specific location, because he didn't come back for too long, he forgot it, and there was no way, Gu Chen could only find it by himself.
In a huge town, if you want to know Bai Su's location by inquiring, it is not easy, but Gu Chen now has the identity of Longhuwei, and he can mobilize a lot of strength.
In Bailin Town, in the living room of a large family, Gu Chen was sitting above with his eyes slightly narrowed, and below, there was a middle-aged man sitting in danger, who seemed to be like a pins and needles, this middle-aged man was a little uneasy, he looked at Gu Chen several times, he wanted to say something, but every time the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it.
Finally, Gu Chen looked at him and said, "Mayor He, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, why do you want to spit it out?"
That's right, this person is the mayor of Bailin Town.
The Dragon and Tiger Army coordinates the changes in the entire Fengyang City, and there must be many sources of information, and the mayor of a town is responsible for the changes in the entire town, and the mayor of the town reports the situation to Fengyang City, and Fengyang City is sent to the military camp in Ziyue Mountain, which is the main source of news for the Dragon and Tiger Army.
Suddenly asked by Gu Chen, Mayor He instantly oozed a layer of cold sweat, and he wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Big, adult, small is actually nothing, I just want to ask, is the adult here this time, just to find this woman named Bai Su?"
"Of course not?" Gu Chen shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of looking for someone, I still have a task to do." β
"Ren, mission?" Cold sweat oozed from his forehead again, and Mayor He said, "Great, my lord, I don't know what your mission is?"
Glancing at Mayor He strangely, Gu Chen said, "What other task can it be, it is nothing more than dealing with some people who do evil and kill people to pay for their lives." β
"Kill, kill to pay for life?" Mayor He looked dumbfounded.
Wrong!
Looking at Mayor He's strange appearance, Gu Chen became more and more sure that there must be something wrong with Mayor He, thinking of this, his eyes were cold, and an invisible murderous aura was released from his body.
A spirit, Mayor He woke up violently, he knelt in front of Gu Chen and said, "My lord, please, my lord, please let the little horse go, he really didn't mean it, my lord, I beg you......." β
Looking at Mayor He with a puzzled expression, Gu Chen first helped him up, and then after some questioning, he realized that Mayor He thought Gu Chen was here to kill his son.
Mayor He has a son, some time ago I went to Hualou to have fun, and somehow I had an argument with the woman, and as a result, I accidentally killed someone.
"Since it's a mistake, as the mayor of the town, just watch and deal with it, I won't interfere in this matter. β
There are still groups of people who do evil, what can a person who kills someone by mistake be nothing, Gu Chen has no interest in this kind of thing.
Hearing Gu Chen's answer, Mayor He breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking him repeatedly, he sat back in his seat.
After another quarter of an hour, a subordinate ran into the room, "Lord Qiyu, Master Qiyu." β
"Have you found Bai Su?" Gu Chen walked over in two steps.
"This, no. The subordinate shook his head and said, "We have found Bai Su's home, but there is no one in her house. β
"No one?" Gu Chen said with a frown on his forehead, "Is there something going out?"
"Probably not. We asked people nearby, and they all said that they hadn't seen Bai Su for a long time. β
"How long?"
"Well, it's been more than half a month. β
His face sank, and Gu Chen said, "Take me to see." β
Gu Chen remembered that the old man said that Bai Su had no relatives, her mother died five years ago, and since then, she has lived on her own, of course, every time the old man secretly went to see her, he would leave her enough money, but since she had no relatives, how could she disappear for half a month?
Under the leadership of this subordinate, Gu Chen walked through the winding streets, and finally stopped in a remote alley in the south of the town, the place was very hidden, if he asked himself, he might not be able to find this place for two days.
Gu Chen looked around the courtyard and the room, although it was a little simple, everything was placed in an orderly manner, except for a collapsed table, the table was violently crushed, looking at the freshness of the fracture, the time should coincide with the day Bai Su left.
A bad premonition rose in his heart, Gu Chen shielded all the people, walked into the room alone, and after a careful inspection, finally, he found ten long traces of fingernails in a corner.
Seeing these ten scratches, Gu Chen's forehead wrinkled tightly, and he could basically be sure that Bai Su was forcibly taken away by violence, which made her hands leave ten marks so long on the wall.
"I didn't expect it to be half a month late. Rubbing his chin with a heavy face, Gu Chen was a little ashamed, because he had promised the old man that he would take care of Bai Su's safety.
"Whether it's dead or alive, I have to at least give an explanation. "Things have become like this, Gu Chen doesn't want to see it, since it has happened, he can only do his best to get people back.
rummaging through the suitcase at the head of the bed, Gu Chen found a red belly pocket worn by a woman, no need to guess, it must be Bai Su.
Looking at this red belly pocket, Gu Chen shook his head helplessly at first, and then his body shook, his face distorted, two sharp teeth stuck out of his mouth, and his eyes turned blood red.
Demonize!
However, Gu Chen was not completely demonized, he just kept himself like this, and then put his belly pocket under his nose and sniffed fiercely.
Meaty!
An indescribable smell poured into his nose, and Gu Chen didn't know why, so these two words automatically appeared in his mind.
Do you want to eat people?
As soon as this thought came out, Gu Chen couldn't help but shudder, if he really ate people, he wasn't sure if he still had the courage to live, because that meant that he had completely turned into a demon.
After remembering the taste of Bai Su, Gu Chen returned to normal and did not go to Mayor He again, he left Bailin Town directly under the pretext that something was wrong.
