Chapter 53: Approaching the Truth

"First of all, I want to know, what can you do?" Teng Yun looked at the gunman deeply, "You are not a wizard, but you can enter and exit the first world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"No, you're wrong. The gunman shook his head, "I'm just sending bullets into the first world." He slightly showed his hand in his pocket, "Vegetable oil." ā€

Teng Yun repeated in surprise: "Vegetable oil?"

The gunslinger nodded: "The wizard calls it a goblin, but in common sense, it has to be called a plant." I've seen it, and it's a big tree with a lot of color. My hands were coated with grease extracted from its shell, so that I could be lucky enough to hit something from another world. ā€

"You put it down to luck?"

The gunman shook his brow in annoyance: "Yes. Sometimes, with good luck or bad enough, mortals can touch the First World. And the grease gathered the little luck that was scattered around, and made my hands join the enemy, and my wishes came true. ā€

"And how do you aim at the enemy?"

"My eyes have been transformed. If you look closely, you'll find out...... You know too little, don't tell me you didn't become a wizard until last week. ā€

Teng Yun pouted: "Yesterday"

The gunman whistled unscrupulously: "Who said these greasy things can't bring me good luck?" ā€

The post office appeared at the end of the street. The familiar green is nostalgic for the color of childhood memories, and nowadays, traditional paper mail is gradually being replaced by e-mail – even the latter is behind the times.

Teng Yunshen focused his attention on the mailbox on the side of the road. Even if no one cared about it, the post office still symbolically kept it, and it was exactly the same as Teng Yunshen imagined...... Just imagine. Teng Yunshen never threw a letter into the mailbox, nor did he greet a postman on a bicycle. For people of his age, when they were children, all this was just an old element in film and television dramas.

Then, he saw a middle-aged man looking around not far from the mailbox. Even if Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn't sent him the target's photo before, he might have been able to find the other party among the pedestrians coming and going.

The middle-aged man is like a frightened bird, and everyone who approaches him makes him suspicious.

"Stop, it's time to make a decision. The gunman said, "Two plans." The first plan is for me to let him go home and then clean up the witch who was lured out with one shot, and the second plan is for you to stay with him, and the witch may try to get close to you...... How? Which one to choose?"

"The second plan. Teng Yunshen immediately made a choice, "It's safer this way." ā€

The gunman laughed heartlessly, "I know what you're thinking. You've been deceived, you're unwilling, and you're counting on a game back. ā€

"If she's in your range...... Don't rush to shoot, I'm going to find out why my target provoked the wizard. ā€

Teng Yunshen left the gunman behind him and walked towards the middle-aged man alone. "Mr. Huang. He said hello, and the middle-aged man almost jumped up as if he had stepped on a spring, attracting sideways glances from pedestrians, Teng Yunshen turned sideways in time, allowing the other party to see the smiling gunman, "We are here to protect you." ā€

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. He had a happy face, but at the moment he was shrouded in gloomy clouds. Teng Yunshen suspected that he would collapse in fear at any moment, yelling at the car and causing unnecessary trouble...... Fortunately, he seems to have a lot of trust in the gunman.

"Let's go to your house. "We might meet a lady." Don't mention to her the guy we all know. If...... If there is a fight, you should stay away as soon as possible. ā€

The middle-aged man looked at the gunman who turned away: "What about him?"

"Seize the high ground. Teng Yunshen frowned, "When did you discover the omen?"

"There's something wrong with the company's accounts," the middle-aged man sighed, "and I'm going to know too much driven by my damn curiosity." I left a record of my visit on the intranet......"

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"They didn't do it before today," the middle-aged man looked back in the direction of the gunman, but couldn't find any trace of the gunman, "and if they were not prepared to reveal it, they would probably have pushed it on me." This stealth asset...... I have to be accountable for my position. ā€

"No offense. I don't know anything about your area of expertise. How long has it been going on?"

"It's been half a month. ā€

Teng Yunshen nodded sympathetically: "Your pressure must be not small. ā€

"I don't understand why the gentleman hasn't let me call the police now. The middle-aged man complained, "They even used bombs, oh my God." ā€

"The implications are widespread. Teng Yun concealed it in his heart, "Do you believe the police? It's a very large and complicated organization. Most people are dutiful, but mediocre, they may not be able to cope with this. He reached out and scratched at the air, as if he could really grasp something tangible.

He was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to ask the gunman how the latter lied to the middle-aged man. "You know, there are good guys and bad guys, most of them are good guys, but bad guys...... It is always easier to destroy than to protect. ā€

"And who are you?"

"We are special investigators, directly responsible to the central government, and will not be involved in local conflicts of interest. Teng Yun secretly prayed that his lies did not conflict much with what the gunman said.

They talked as they walked. Teng Yunshen tried his best to calm down the middle-aged man, so that the other party would not lose control at the necessary moment. He himself was not so comfortable, just as he had been in the past, he was able to escape from danger, but he had to go to danger.

They set out on an inconspicuous fork in the road, quiet stretching out of the hustle and bustle of the avenue, lined with characterless but rather beautiful houses.

Teng Yunshen stopped talking, staring at the witch who appeared in the field of vision. The gunslinger was right, and she was waiting here. However, it is not yet certain that the witch is the killer. Why would a witch take on such a job? Perhaps, like him, she'd just happened to pass by and decided to lend a hand.

The witch winked at him, then ducked into the shadows again. Teng Yunshen hesitated for a moment, then stopped the middle-aged man and motioned for him to stop.

He approached the witch alone. The moment finally came, and he threw his previous plan under his feet and stepped on it fiercely.

"Let him come. The witch threw a reproachful look at Teng Yunshen, even if it was an unhappy expression, she was still very charming, "It's not safe to stand like this-"

Teng Yunshen reached out and grabbed her throat. Ask slowly? That's not for him.
