Chapter Ninety-Four: Half a Bronze Tablet
"Our reporter reported that at 9:07 a.m. today, a 5.1-magnitude earthquake occurred in our city, which was caused by a suspected strong explosion, and has not caused major ......casualties so far."
In an obscure old shop in the south of the city, a TV with an antenna is broadcasting local news.
On the old wall with the poster of the Hong Kong Star, a dusty wall fan buzzed and turned its head, lazily blowing the wind.
The shop was cramped, with a long row of narrow shelves on each side of the wall, which was cluttered with various devices.
A wall clock to be repaired, a radio with a folded antenna, a floor fan with a missing front cover...... Miscellaneous objects are placed everywhere, and there is not even a clean footground.
When you enter the store, there is an L-shaped counter on the right with a cup of hot tea brewed on it.
A Mediterranean uncle in a white vest and big pants is sitting leisurely on the chaise longue, his legs crossed over the counter.
He has a pair of thick-rimmed glasses on his nose and a pair of sexy cat lady earmuffs on his ears.
At this time, he was shaking his big feet with his eyes closed, shaking a wide fan in his hand, and babbling a little tune in his nose.
"Boom!"
After a morning of cloudy clouds, it finally began to rain heavily, and the torrential rain outside the store was like a note.
A man in a black suit with a black umbrella in one hand and a black safe in the other hand walked into the store from the white rainstorm.
"Fix things there, come and pick them up next Wednesday."
Uncle Mediterranean still had his eyes closed, rocking the chaise longue gracefully, and spit out a random sentence from his mouth.
"Boss, I'll pick up something."
The black suit put away the umbrella and casually swept the store, the TV with antennas was cutting the picture of the Longchang New District, the entire development area was under martial law, and the epicenter was suspected to be in that construction site.
Hearing this, Mediterranean lazily lowered his eyelids and looked at the rainy visitor behind the counter.
"Take what?"
The black suit withdrew his gaze from the television, and the lower half of his face was hidden under a metal skull mask.
Several dark red lines stretched out from beneath the mask, streaking across the face and eyes.
"A wreckage."
A few muffled syllables came from under the mask, and the lazy gaze of the Mediterranean boss changed slightly.
"All my things here are broken, I don't remember which one you sent here, you can find it casually......"
The boss adjusted his posture as he spoke, deliberately turned around, and closed his eyes again.
The black suit didn't talk nonsense, and the safe in his hand was put on the counter with a 'bang'.
The password lid was directly shaken open, and the cash inside was full of cash, and seven or eight turns immediately spilled out.
Mediterranean shuddered at the movement, but as soon as he saw the bundles of bills on the counter, he couldn't take his eyes off it......
He hurriedly put his legs down, got up and approached the counter, pushed his glasses and swallowed spit, and finally reached out to touch the banknotes and sniffed deeply, his face full of intoxication.
"Where's the stuff?"
The black suit spoke again.
At this time, the Mediterranean boss completely changed his attitude, he took off the cat's earmuffs, and smiled on his unshaven face.
"I remember it wasn't you who sent it last time."
"Does that make a difference to you?"
The black suit replied lightly.
The Mediterranean boss smiled, his eyes behind the frame lingering on the black suit for a moment, and finally at the bills on the counter.
Then, without further ado, he quickly put them in the safe, and walked towards the messy store with the boxes in hand.
"Wait a minute."
Outside the store, a rolling thunder exploded, and the Mediterranean boss pulled open a jumble of shelves, revealing a hidden compartment.
The black suit didn't follow up, just stood at the door with a black umbrella, and his eyes swept the old store casually.
For a moment,
The Mediterranean boss dragged a large heavy box out of the compartment with great difficulty.
The aisle outside was full of miscellaneous devices, and he couldn't drag it any longer, so he got up and waved to the black suit, motioning to help.
The black suit held a black umbrella in his hand, pestled to the ground like a cane, and he walked straight to the big box.
"Do you want to inspect the goods?"
The Mediterranean boss wiped the sweat from his forehead and said courteously to the black suit.
The black suit did not speak,
Defaulted to letting him open the chest.
The Mediterranean boss smiled, leaning over and groping with his right hand on the side of the box.
suddenly
With a grim look on his face, he jerked out a sharp knife and stabbed it in the stomach of the black suit without warning.
'Poof! ’
With a soft sound,
But it was the black umbrella in the black suit's hand, which stabbed into the boss's chest in response, and the black umbrella tip penetrated through his back.
Blood and raindrops dripped from the tip of the umbrella......
"You ......"
The sharp knife in the hand of the Mediterranean boss pierced through the black suit, revealing the dark red suit inside, which even the tip of the knife could not pierce.
'Whew! ’
The black suit indifferently pulled back the black umbrella, and a blood arrow flew out!
The boss of the Mediterranean vomited out a mouthful of blood, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground with a 'poof'.
The black suit ignored him, opened the box directly, looked at it, and then closed it again.
"Wow......"
The Mediterranean boss was still out of breath, blood was still pouring out of his mouth, his eyes were fixed on the black suit and he wanted to say something, but he could only spit out a few staccato syllables.
Hearing this, the black suit glanced over with an indifferent gaze, and then looked at the compartment in the store.
Then he snapped his fingers slightly, and a purple-black flame immediately burst from the Mediterranean boss's soul.
The flames spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, this humble old shop was on fire.
"Ahem......"
The black suit coughed twice, and finally disappeared into the sea of fire without a sound, along with the heavy big box.
As soon as he left, there was a bumping noise in the store......
Judging from the trajectory of the debris that was encountered, it seemed that there was something invisible, and it ran out of the compartment in a panic and forcibly rushed out of the store in a strange fire!
Two minutes later,
A black RV pulled up to the door of the store, and the purple-black flames turned the rain-soaked street black and hot.
Many residents rushed out, some were calling for fire, and some were spontaneously carrying buckets to rush to catch fire.
But this strange flame could not be extinguished at all, and the purple-black flame was still spreading towards the upper floor and the surrounding residential floors with an unstoppable momentum!
Even if the rain in the sky is like a note,
I can't hold the fire even a minute!
"This is the Hellfire of the Fourth Ghost Division!"
On the black motorhome,
Jiang Yao looked out of the car window, and a trace of annoyance appeared on his extremely embarrassed face.
"We're a step too late!"
He and Zeng Haisheng just rushed over from the Longchang construction site!
The half of the bronze tablet on the construction site could not completely suppress the well, and the wisps of blue and black mist were still spreading out intermittently, and Chen Yuqing was guarding with the logistics team over there!
"Master Jiang,"
"When I dug the well, the bronze monument on it was cracked, and no one on the construction site understood this, and as soon as the excavator got on, the bronze monument was directly broken into two......
Zeng Haisheng said urgently with a bitter face, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his cheeks.
"This shop is secretly an antique trading point, and many things that are not on the market in Nanjin City are handed over here......
"After I got those ancient items, I took a few of them to estimate the market value, and at the same time, I also wanted to find out what age and origin they were......
"I really felt that the bronze tablet was not small, and I got half of it in thought at the time...... I didn't expect it to turn out like this! ”
"And I just asked someone to come and get the money, but the person can't be contacted now......"
Zeng Haisheng grabbed his mobile phone in one hand, and there was a 'beep' sound from inside, but no one answered......
Jiang Yao wanted to blow his head out with a punch at the moment, wanting to see what was contained there.
It's a shame that there is still half of the base left in the bronze stele, otherwise something big will happen to the well at the Longchang construction site!
But at the moment, he didn't care about cleaning up Zeng Haisheng, Jiang Yao stared at the purple-black hellfire that was still spreading outside, and immediately released six blazing bones, and got up directly and prepared to rush out to fight the fire!
"Boom!!"
At this moment,
There was a slam on the gloomy sky!
With a muffled thunder explosion,
A huge yellow bronze bell fell from the sky!
"Bell ——!"
A bell rings, shaking the sky!
A circle of substantiated sound waves poured straight down from the black oppressive clouds!
Jiang Yao recognized it at a glance, this was the bronze bell that broke through the 'Hell Fire Frontier' last time and saved his life!
He grabbed the hand of the car door and immediately stopped!
The ordinary people on the street were even more wide-eyed, and they all looked at the sky in a daze, as if they had seen a miracle!
"Buzz!!"
Layers of sound,
Suppress the Hellfire at once!
The bronze bell that floats in the sky rings and trembles!
The thick clouds around him shook with it,
The pouring rain is getting more and more intense,
As if a hole had been broken in the sky,
The rain is pouring like a waterfall!
The terrifying sound and the pouring rain soon crushed the spreading hellfire!
Jiang Yao looked at the sky,
After the bronze bell slowly receded into the clouds,
Disappear.
The rain immediately lightened a few points......
Witnesses in the rain had not yet recovered from their shock, and the sound of sirens quickly sounded on both sides of the street!
Two columns of heavily armed logistics members surrounded the entire street in an instant, and all the witnesses were isolated on the spot......
A familiar figure quickly walked out from behind the quarantined crowd and stopped straight at the door of the old store.
"Zhou Hui ......"
Next to her was a woman carrying a crimson hammer, with a heroic posture.
Jiang Yao secretly guessed that she should be Zhong Tao, whom Chen Yuqing had mentioned several times, and she was also a knife wielder.
"Whoa—"
Jiang Yao opened the door and got out of the car,
drove six blazing bones forward in the rain.
"Jiang Yao?"
Zhou Hui turned his head in surprise, while Zhong Tao looked at the black RV he had just gotten off.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Yao quickly explained the situation in the Longchang Development New Area, and then looked at the old store that had been isolated.
"I was going to come over and retrieve the other half of the bronze tablet, but I was a step too late, and the Fourth Ghost Division had already intercepted it!"
After speaking, he asked Zhou Hui and the others,
"What about you?"
"From last night to now, we have been searching for the whereabouts of the Fourth Ghost Division, although he was injured, his strength is still not to be underestimated, and we have been tricked by him!"
It was Zhong Tao who answered, she was holding the red hammer in her hand, and a trace of anger appeared on her face.
"We received a mysterious message five minutes ago and rushed over, but we didn't expect that guy to come here and dare to make such a big move!"
Zhou Hui, who had not spoken, frowned slightly at this time, and looked around with a pair of cold pupils.
"More than the fourth ghost ......"
"There's a weird one here!"
