Chapter 13: Encounters
The rain hit the ground and made a "rustling" sound.
The dim incandescent lights could not illuminate the deserted garbage dump, but only dragged the figures of the few people standing in the yard into the dark and damp mud.
Xia Huilan's face was pale, holding the towbar of the suitcase tightly in one hand and holding the pistol in the other.
Opposite her, seven or eight men chained a teenager in shackles and dragged him to the ground like a dead dog.
"Sister, you shouldn't come!"
The boy cried as he struggled.
- This young man looks exactly like Wu Xiaode!
fence wall.
The crow tilted his head in surprise and asked, "Is this your own brother?" β
"No, he's disguised as me." Wu Xiaode said.
"Let me see...... Oh, it turns out that he used the same disguise props as you, he disguised himself as you, and you disguised himself as another person, interesting, really funny! The raven laughed.
At this time, there was a new change in the field.
Those men grabbed "Wu Xiaode" and said to Xia Huilan: "A lot of people have died, do you want him to die too?" β
"Don't say it, you let him go, I'll give you the papers." Xia Huilan shouted at the men.
"How can we trust you?" The man at the head said.
"Let him come, I'll take him away, and the documents will be transferred to you from the Internet, and I will do what I say." Xia Hui Landau.
"If you lie to us......" the man said.
"Wait, I still have conditions, you must revoke his arrest, he is just a senior in high school, helpless, you can't slander him as an arson murderer!" Xia Hui Landau.
"You shouldn't fool us about the documents." The man said.
Xia Huilan smiled sadly, shook her head and said, "Since I have already appeared, it proves that you have won, doesn't it?" β
The leader hesitated, and after a long moment, he said, "Well, you must not play tricks, or you will both die." β
The other person squatted down, and while unshackling Wu Xiaode, he said loudly: "Now we let you go to Xia Huilan, you are free, and we will clarify your charges for you." β
He loosened the boy's shackles.
The young man immediately ran towards Xia Huilan, shouting as he ran, "Sister, I'm so scared." β
Xia Huilan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
The men quietly winked at each other.
As long as this young man runs to Xia Huilan's side-
She was caught.
This is the end of the matter.
The leader stared at Xia Huilan tightly, and when the young man was about to run to her, this person suddenly spoke: "This guy is yours, in exchange, you have to give us something." β
His eyes were firmly fixed on Xia Huilan.
Xia Huilan was really distracted, and responded: "I'll give it to you." β
The boy came to her.
He opened his armsβ
"Xiao Wu, don't block my gun." Xia Huilan said urgently.
Between the electric light and flint, the mutation is steep!
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in the middle of the group of men.
This is a young man who looks rustic.
When "Xiao Wu" ran in front of Xia Huilan, it was not only Xia Huilan who was distracted, but also the attention of these people was also involved!
As soon as the young man showed his figure, his hands immediately struck out like afterimages.
- Iron Fist: Crushing Strength!
This style pays attention to the shot like electricity, crushing the enemy's throat bone, back of the head, temples, and heart with instantaneous strength.
A series of blows rang out.
The second hand jumps for one second.
Everyone was knocked out and hit the ground, rolling in all directions like a gourd.
The second second.
The man turned into a crow, flapped his wings, and instantly flew over a distance of dozens of meters and came behind "Wu Xiaode".
He re-transformed into an adult and slashed at the back of the neck of "Wu Xiaode" with a hand knife.
"Wu Xiaode" suddenly fell to the ground like a dead dog, no longer moving.
Three seconds.
The battle is over.
"Wu Xiaode!" Xia Huilan lost her voice.
"He's not Wu Xiaode-Sister Lan, do you remember inviting me to dinner last winter? There was a credit card hidden in that cake at the time, and you forced me to accept it. The rustic young man said.
Xia Huilan froze, her face changing several times.
She looked at "Wu Xiaode" on the ground, and then at the strange man in front of her, and couldn't believe it for a while.
"Sister, it's me, I used some genetic potions, and temporarily became a stranger to avoid being wanted." The man said sincerely.
"What happened to you when you were eight years old?" Xia Huilan asked.
"When I was eight years old, your parents participated in a top-secret test and sacrificed, leaving only you, and my parents took you as a goddaughter for you to study and live." The man said.
"Eleven?"
"My parents are gone...... You started working part-time for me to study. β
"What did you say to me?"
"Raise me for a few years, and then I will support you."
"What about the boy who bullied me?"
"The boy who liked to lift your skirt fell into the water and almost died, thanks to which I rescued him and later transferred to another school; There is also a guy who scolds you every day for killing your parents, I talked to him, and he was also ashamed, and accidentally broke his arm when he went downstairs. β
"It's really you, Xiao Wu."
Xia Huilan stepped forward, touched the face and body of the "Wu Xiaode" on the ground, and said with relief: "It's fake." β
Wu Xiaode looked at this scene, and his gaze became even colder.
If she hadn't arrived in time, Xia Huilan might have been arrested by them.
Her colleagues were killed, their bodies tied to chairs, and destroyed by fire.
What will happen to her?
Wu Xiaode took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
By this time, the cold rain had stopped.
In the night wind, a crow flew excitedly over the corpses on the ground.
As the crow flew, faint spots of light gradually floated on the corpse, submerging into its wings.
The Book of the Dead opened automatically, revealing lines of small ice crystal characters that exuded cold air:
"You killed eight adult men."
"As agreed between you and the Raven Spirit, it is drawing soul power from the corpse, which is its ability and does not affect reality."
"The Spirit of the Raven has given you a portion of its soul power."
"Your soul power limit has been raised."
"Current Soul Power: 1/4."
"Spiritual power continues to increase in the middle ......"
"Your soul power has been replenished, and the current soul power is: 4/4."
The battle just now broke out in an instant, and Wu Xiaode used a type of iron fist, consuming soul power again.
Now with the supply of crows, the soul power has recovered a little, and the upper limit has been raised, which makes Wu Xiaode breathe a sigh of relief.
Now he had begun to understand how important soul power was.
If you didn't have soul power just now, you wouldn't have been able to achieve such a combat effect at all.
Wu Xiaode looked at Xia Huilan, only to see that she didn't seem to be able to see those points of light, nor could she see the spirit of the crow.
"Sister Lan, aren't you going back to the countryside? Why haven't you left yet? Wu Xiaode said.
"Originally, I was afraid of dragging you down, but before I could leave, they have already started to kill my friends around me, and even you are wanted-"
Xia Huilan didn't continue.
Wu Xiaode already understood, and asked, "Is the countryside safe?" β
"I specially prepared a place to take refuge, in the mountains of my hometown, which is close to the primeval forest, and no one should know about it." Xia Hui Landau.
"What the hell is going on, I remember you working for a big tech company, and it seems like you've always been good." Wu Xiaode was puzzled.
"Xiao Wu, what's going on with your skills just now." Xia Huilan asked without answering.
"I worshipped Master very early, and I had a very strong force behind me, but for some reason I had to go incognito, and I didn't have to expose my strength until I was wanted." Wu Xiaode said.
Xia Huilan stretched out her hand and grabbed his arm tightly, and didn't speak for a long time.
Wu Xiaode thought to himself that when he made a move just now, Xia Huilan might not have seen it clearly at all.
The woman who died in the flames.
The thug who assassinated himself.
Nationally Wanted.
β and the guy on the ground pretending to be himself.
All this shows how huge the enemy's power is, and how resolute his will is to capture Xia Huilan.
Wu Xiaode held Xia Huilan's hand and immediately found that her body was trembling slightly.
- Maybe she was carrying too much on her back, and at this moment, she needed more confidence.
Wu Xiaode thought about it, picked up a stone, and gently crushed it in front of Xia Huilan's eyes.
Xia Huilan looked at the pile of powder without blinking, and finally came back to her senses and looked at the corpses that were all over the place.
She asked uncertainly, "...... they"
"Dead," Wu Xiaode spread his hands and patiently explained: "They are the real enemy and will threaten your life, so either you don't do it, or if you want to do it, you must do it." β
"No need to explain, you're not wrong." Xia Hui Landau.
Wu Xiaode secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Originally, I was afraid that Xia Huilan would not be able to accept her killing, but now it seems that Xia Huilan seems to be more mature than herself.
If I hadn't experienced the baptism of the cyclops, I would never have been able to do it to this extent.
"Xiao Wu, I can't believe it, I thought I could protect you...... I didn't expect that in the end, it was you who protected me. Xia Huilan said.
Jingle Bell β
The ringing of the cell phone came.
The two looked back together, only to see that it was a man who had been beaten out by Wu Xiaode, and there was a noise on his body.
Xia Huilan stepped forward, took out the mobile phone from the man, and connected it.
"How? Did you catch Xia Huilan? β
An indifferent voice came from the earpiece.
Xia Huilan's eyes revealed a cold color, and the whole person quickly regained her senses.
"Mentor, I've been caught." She said thoughtfully.
"Haha, how did you escape from the palm of my hand? Hand over the results of your research, and you can even continue to work by my side, but from today onwards, you will not only be my assistant, but my woman. The voice said.
"What if I refuse?" Xia Hui Landau.
"I know you're not afraid of death, but as soon as that Wu Xiaode's wanted came out, you exposed your whereabouts, and you specifically wanted to save him, what a naΓ―ve girl-"
The voice smiled and said, "You bring her back first." β
Xia Huilan gave Wu Xiaode a look.
"Yes." Wu Xiaode replied vaguely.
The phone hangs up.
"Your academic mentor?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"He is also the leader of the company, he never cares about me, but he has to be the first author of any paper I write." Xia Huilan said expressionlessly.
Wu Xiaode showed a look of memory.
Xia Huilan's technology company is a world-famous behemoth, and she has even been taken to visit it several times.
Her mentor ......
is old enough to be her grandfather.
"What are you thinking?" Xia Hui Landau.
"Nope."
Wu Xiaode grinned, looking extremely calm.
The crow in mid-air suddenly turned its head sideways and glanced at the boy below.
"Aha, it seems that I guessed right, there is more soul power to harvest tonight, this deal is very profitable!"
Raven thought contentedly.
