Chapter Ninety-Seven: Mutation
Teng Yunshen doesn't like to look ahead and backward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ However, this does not mean that he acts decisively, it just means that he does not mind obeying the right people. He believed in them and did what he said. Therefore, he accepted the identity given by Su Ruiwen and became the wizard of the White Moon.
He had believed that he could fulfill his natural mission in the secret society.
Now another path was in front of him, pointing him in a whole new direction.
Some wizards have a super-intelligence network in their hands, but the executors are just ordinary people. Teng Yunshen felt that there was something sublime that supported them. Otherwise, they could have recruited those evil wizards to work for them, just like the Black Sword Society is doing.
And they found him, and in order to recruit him, they did not hesitate to reveal a shocking secret.
"You and Mr. Joe will be a good combination. The voice continued, "He doesn't know how to use magic, but he's experienced in it. β
Teng Yun glanced at the gunman suspiciously, and the other party was noncommittal.
"White Moon is almost an academic institution. It's not just them, most wizards are scholars. What about the evil wizards who do evil? Unfortunately, they are good at fighting. And so do you and Mr. Joe. You can do better than the White Moon Patrols, and fight crime more forcefully than they do. β
Teng Yun deeply remembered the boy who was killed by himself. Jiang Xiaoxiao and Su Ruiwen are both fighters. But what about the others? The wizards gathered in the bazaar were helpless in the face of a sudden attack, and they retreated. They are wizards, wielding all kinds of magical magic, but they are not far from the unarmed people who encounter gunmen.
At first, he thought that working at White Moon was the best way to achieve self-worth. The opportunities offered by the gunman's employer seem to be more appealing, though.
If he could, he was not even willing to let Jiang Xiaoxiao and Su Ruiwen participate in the battle.
"I can't just do it without knowing anything. He stared at his face behind the gas mask, "As for the non-disclosure agreement...... I can keep it secret to a limited extent, but once the act of keeping it feels harmful to me, the protocol ceases to exist. β
"Trust is gradual, it's mutual," the voice said, "and if you can give us a little more time, you'll understand the meaning of the job." Until then, we hope that your wisdom will help you make a more correct judgment. β
Teng Yunshen nodded: "I have time and patience. However, in order to fulfill the instructions of my comrades, I had to leave the city for a while. β
"It's a matter of course. We're looking for talent, but we're not in a hurry to the point where we need you to get to work right away. Mr. Joe, please ......"
The gunman removed the gas mask. "Let's go. Boy, I'll take you back. He stood up with his camping lamp.
"Am I supposed to know your name?"
The gunman pouted, "Qiao Siming." β
"That's the acquaintance. β
The gunner snorted softly.
Teng Yunshen turned around and walked towards the stairs: "Why do you know where to find me?"
"The entrance and exit of the bazaar to each city is relatively fixed at the same time of day. You're out of luck, I didn't mean to leave you at the market. I don't know when you'll wake up, and I don't know you're going to be attacked. β
"I still worked. I don't regret going into battle. Teng Yunshen shook his head, "So, you are also monitoring there?" As they mentioned, the communication system was cut off at that time, and the outside world knew nothing about the internal situation. β
"That's part of the secret. However, don't worry too much about the so-called 'tried and tested', in fact, it has only been half a year since I took this job. β
"Ordinary people before that?"
"It depends on your definition of 'ordinary'. Compared to you wizards, I'm certainly just a mortal. β
"They chose you because you're an expert. Are you a veteran?" Teng Yun thought for a moment and partially denied this speculation, "Most soldiers have never killed anyone in their lives. β
"And I'm in a bloody debt...... No. Qiao Siming stopped, Teng Yunshen turned his head and found him hesitantly glaring at the camping lamp in his hand, "Remember the evil wizard I told you?"
"Is there really that one? I mean, another?"
"Otherwise, why would I stay in this dark place?" Qiao Siming nodded nonchalantly, "There was some accident in the jewelry store on Center Road half a year ago. β
"I've read the newspapers, it's a very small article. Teng Yunshen frowned, "The glass plate of a display case exploded, and the clerk and customers were slightly injured, and there was no shortage of things. What's wrong?"
Qiao Siming sighed: "I found traces of excess mana at the scene. β
"Has anyone done anything with jewelry?"
"People like you don't have to do it in plain sight, you can do it without knowing it. It's just a thief, and the problem is much simpler, but we think the perpetrator is a wizard who has just awakened. He unconsciously broke the glass. β
Qiao Siming held up the camping lamp and shook it. The lights rattled in the darkness.
"We found the suspect on surveillance footage and spent some time finding out who he was. Looking through his family history, it's almost certain that his inheritance comes from a wizard who doesn't follow the rules. Sadly, when we were about to make a move, he noticed something was wrong and hid it. β
Qiao Siming retreated to the top of the stairs. Teng Yunshen followed him closely.
"And then, what did he do?"
Qiao Siming gently pushed open a window. "Not long ago, the police found a ritual in a neighboring city -- the bloody kind. All six members of the family died. That's what he did. He said, his face expressionless.
Teng Yunshen shuddered, he felt both angry and frightened.
"That wizard was more daring than the previous generation. He probably realized that the witchcraft in the pile of old papers was real, and decided to increase his mana as soon as possible. Qiao Siming tapped the camping lamp with his finger, "His blood is here." I'm here just to wait for him to fall into the net. β
"Is there anything nearby that can attract him?"
"His father was once a member of a secret society, and their legacy was hidden here. Didn't you observe the environment of the First World since you came in?" Qiao Siming handed him the lamp, "Take it, you come and keep an eye on it, I can't use my eyes for a long time." β
Teng Yunshen took the camping lamp. A wisp of blood-colored smoke came out of the light and drifted out into the night.
Qiao Siming unwrapped the package behind him and began to assemble the gun, "There are still ten minutes." He said, "Don't be too nervous. β
Teng Yunshen was unimpressed: "It's easy to deal with, right?"
"Who knows?" he muttered, "Wizards are as mysterious as aliensβ" he looked at the camping lights in surprise as the brightness of the camping lamp, "Here it is!"
