Chapter 42: The Flame in the Heart
As Tang Ping expected, the corpse of the smiling lizard did not turn into a giant egg.
The claw fowl kicked it in the head: "Cursed people? These chickens and dogs are starting to name themselves. ”
Tang Ping pondered: "It seems that you have been eyeing these monsters for a long time. ”
"It's a little trouble these days, a moth made by the afterlife cultists." The clawed bird's expression was nonchalant.
Tang Ping reminded: "But these things evolve very quickly, maybe they will become a big threat next time." ”
The clawed bird waved his hand: "No matter how they evolve, they will not reach the sky, and when you see the real threat, you will not feel that they are dangerous." ”
As he spoke, the lizard's corpse suddenly disappeared, the bloodstains, internal organs, throat, etc. on the ground were also hidden one by one, and the clawed bird didn't care, Tang Ping also controlled his eyes, and didn't snoop on what he shouldn't see.
Then the claw bird took out a box, poured a bag of cheap ape jasmine tea into it, and found a few thermos from the old man's house and poured boiling water into it......
This is a method explored by the Civil Comprehensive Bureau, to contain the Blackstone Tea Tray, so that the Blackstone Tea Tray can temporarily converge the vision.
Tang Ping walked next door and looked at the old man who was still asleep.
"What are you going to do with this old cabbage?"
The clawed bird carefully placed the tea tray in boiling water and closed the lid of the box to isolate the heat: "If you don't deal with it, everything is business as usual, he won't know anything." ”
A chill flashed in Tang Ping's eyes: "That lizard demon was forced out by him, and he didn't have to pay any price?" ”
The clawed bird was silent for a while: "Yes, no, he didn't violate the laws of the Red Mountain, and my duty is to kill the demons." ”
In fact, the clawed bird knows it very well in his heart.
Demons are born when a creature is sane and despairing, but most of the time it's not the demon that causes the creature to despair......
It's humans!
At the beginning of the work, the clawed birds were also angry, but gradually they got used to it.
Suddenly, he saw that the black cloak covered the old man's body like a shadow, and the broken tip of the cloak was like a group of poisonous snakes that chose to devour people.
The clawed bird was frightened and blocked in front of Tang Ping.
"I can understand your thoughts, but I won't let you kill the citizens in front of me."
"Why do you think so much of me? Killing for the sake of a few lizards, is that still a person? Tang Ping's face was surprised, and the cloak brought up the old man's quilt: "I'm just afraid that the old man will catch a cold." ”
The clawed bird opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only silently clean up his head and tail.
Tang Ping walked around the house, found the old man's certificate, and wrote down the information on it one by one in the grudge book on the cover of the cowhide.
Along with the documents, there is also an old photo.
The photo is the old man's whole family, a wife, a pair of children, and the teenage girl Tang Ping looks a little familiar.
Tang Ping put down the photo, he really didn't plan to kill the old man.
One is to personally kill the old man, he doesn't want to be called an old man's killer.
The second is to kill people for lizards, which is indeed a bit neurotic, because it is even more irrational to make a feud with the Civil Comprehensive Bureau.
So Tang Ping plans to let him go?
Neither is it.
Tang Ping is a traverser, standing in his position, all intelligent creatures in the New World are aliens, the difference is that some look in line with his aesthetics, and some do not conform to his aesthetics.
Therefore, when he evaluates the intelligent creatures of the New World, he will not completely stand on the standpoint of human beings, but look at their good and evil behaviors......
This old man is the kind that Tang Ping hates more.
After the event, the claw bird rubbed his palms against Tang Ping, signaling that Tang Ping should pay.
Tang Ping took out a stack of banknotes, divided them into two in front of the claw bird, and handed one of them to the claw bird.
"Well, why am I still missing this money?"
The claw bird was suddenly anxious, and he couldn't get all the money, which made him scratch his heart and liver.
Tang Ping sneered: "If you find a safe place to connect, and I will leave after selling the information, of course I will give you the original price, but if you take me to the mission location, even your task will be completed by me for you." ”
"Even if I give it to you at the original price, are you embarrassed to ask for it?"
The clawed bird wants to speak and stop, and stops talking and desires.
……
The light clouds are rolling, and the morning light is gradually rising.
Tang Ping yawned, carried a bag on his back, and knocked on the door of the safe house.
In the end, the cash he took was still given to the claw bird, but not to buy intelligence, but to buy other things.
After returning home, he went to find a private detective to investigate Lao Litou's black material.
With his wealth, as long as he reveals his dissatisfaction with Lao Li Tou to the people below, someone will clean up Lao Li Tou.
But Tang Ping subconsciously resisted doing so.
It will take a few days for the detective to give the result, according to Tang Ping's simple understanding of the act of 'release', Lao Li Tou has probably done something wrong.
After all, those who are released out of kindness and compassion will at least consider the life or death of the released creatures, as well as the impact on the environment after release.
Wu Ying opened the door and welcomed Tang Ping in.
Tang Ping said straight to the point: "I'm here to fulfill my promise, where do you want to go first?" ”
Wu Ying's face was embarrassed, and her cheeks were slightly red: "I want to go home first, and then go to the company...... But I can't remember the address, I remember a lot of things, but I just can't find ......"
Tang Ping's mouth crooked: "It's enough to know that you want to go home, so ...... Let's go. ”
On the way, Wu Ying jumped up and down with her illusory body, studying Tang Ping's car, which made Tang Ping tireless, and after quieting down, she looked at Tang Ping in surprise: "I underestimate you, you are richer than I imagined." ”
"You know a lot about cars?"
"I don't understand, but I've seen a super boss drive it." Wu Ying shook her head and began to recall the past: "I think at the beginning, I almost became the first secretary of the big boss, but unfortunately the big boss died with his wife the next day, and then I ...... Alas. ”
During the conversation, the car drove into a street, and both sides of the road were full of homeless homeless people, Tang Ping subconsciously took a deep breath.
There are many such streets in Muyuan City, and Tang Ping has always tried his best to avoid passing through these places, but this is the only way to go to Wu Ying's house.
The information on both sides of the road kept entering Tang Ping's eyes, tents, old things, garbage, people with withered expressions and strange movements.
and several purple-skinned corpses next to garbage cans and roadside tents......
Some black crows, standing beside these corpses, jumped happily, their red eyes flashing flexibly, as if they were mocking Tang Ping.
After driving for a while, Tang Ping stopped on the side of the road and dialed the number of Sancai Crematorium: "There are a few corpses here, come and take them away and incinerate them." ”
On the other side of the phone, there was a somewhat ruffian voice: "Boss, let's pull the corpses ourselves, thanks to it, only when the Municipal Affairs Bureau calls us here, we will pay the incineration fee for these wanderers, and they will usually clean up the corpses collectively in three or five days......"
"Don't talk nonsense, keep it on my account!"
"Okay, boss, let's do it."
Tang Ping's hand stretched out on the steering wheel and then clenched, his breathing was a little heavy, and his heart seemed to be burning with a fire.
