Chapter 12: The Black Mist Strikes
Faced with Lao Hua's inquiry and his action of wiping his neck, Ji Xiu immediately realized one thing.
Lao Hua clearly knew that Li Tan was the killer of the Black Hole Organization.
From this, it can be judged that Li Tan, the original owner of the body, has great trust in Lao Hua, otherwise he would never share the secret that can be sentenced to death with the other party.
But Ji Xiu felt that there was still a possibility.
Lao Hua is also a member of the Black Hole Killer Organization, and it was Lao Hua who led Li Tan to the point of no return to the killer.
He analyzed a problem at the time.
Li Tan's life trajectory is very simple, three o'clock every day, except at home, even in the hospital or dock, there are no entertainment activities, and he can't get in touch with the Black Hole Killer Organization at all, and how did he embark on the path of a killer.
Now it seems that this old flower is very likely to be the leader of Li Tan to become a killer.
Facing Lao Hua's inquiry, Ji Xiu nodded after thinking for a while:
"I took an order and went to Starlight City...... By the way, Lao Hua, I found that there was something wrong with my memory at the end of this mission, and I can't remember a lot of things, so you can help me recall my memories later. ”
"Why can't you remember, did you go to the hospital?"
"Look, it seems to be called traumatic memory loss, and the simple description is memory loss caused by stimulation."
Hearing this, Lao Hua was silent, reached out and picked up a cigarette from the teacup slot and put it in his mouth, picked up the lighter and lit it, took a deep breath, and sighed while exhaling the white mist:
"It's inevitable to be stimulated in this business, you are really troubled, first a little genetic disease, then Mu Mu, and now you have some memory loss symptoms in your body, no wonder you don't seem to be in a state today...... Whatever you want to recall, you can ask me any questions. ”
Ji Xiu didn't directly ask about the Black Hole Killer Organization, so the purpose was too obvious.
Although the old flower may not necessarily be suspicious, it is certainly right to be on the safe side.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiu asked with a little curiosity:
"Lao Hua, I forgot when Mu Mu entered the hospital, can you give me a recall?"
When Lao Hua heard this, he reached out and snuffed out the cigarette, and spit out a cloud of white mist from his mouth:
"Three years ago, Mu Mu suddenly fell ill and lost his hearing and vision, when his condition deteriorated rapidly, I drove you to the hospital, when the doctor examined and diagnosed Mu Mu with the same genetic disease as Xiao Xu, you emptied all your family resources to Mu Mu for treatment, and also borrowed a sum of money from me, but gene therapy is too expensive, and your income can't fill the big hole of treatment."
"So I became a killer and earned money to treat Mu Mu through bounty tasks."
Ji Xiu immediately nodded suddenly, followed Lao Hua's answer, pulled the topic to how to become a killer, and asked by the trend:
"Eh, Lao Hua, you said that I am a dock porter, how did I come into contact with the Black Hole Killer Organization."
"Nonsense, of course I introduced it to you, although you have the strength to do it, but usually except for the dock is a hospital, how can you come into contact with these things."
Lao Hua's answer confirmed Ji Xiu's inner conjecture, Li Tan became a killer and was really guided by someone who could be contacted around him, and this person was Lao Hua.
From this, it can be inferred that Lao Hua also has great trust in Li Tan.
Out of his feelings and sympathy for knowing each other for many years, he led the desperate Li Tan to the path of the killer of the Black Hole Organization, but he also took a series of risks brought by Li Tan's exposure.
Now he can be sure that he can find information about the Black Hole Organization from Lao Hua's mouth.
But Ji Xiu was not in a hurry.
After chatting with Lao Hua all the way, the vehicle stopped in front of a "Chenguang Breakfast Shop" called "Chenguang Breakfast Shop".
It was already half past seven in the morning, and there were many figures waiting at the door to pick up the meal, and there were many diners sitting in the room of more than 50 square meters.
Ji Xiu followed Lao Hua to the corner of the breakfast shop, and Lao Hua stretched out his hand to greet the busy proprietress:
"Two bowls of morning wine, three steamed buns, two bowls of winter fish porridge...... Another stack of braised beef. ”
After speaking, Lao Hua pulled out the stool and sat down, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out one and lit it, and said with a tired expression:
"What does the doctor say, can this disease be cured? Can lost memories be returned? ”
Ji Xiu sat down next:
"The doctor said that my condition is very complicated, and my understanding is that the memory may or may not come back, it depends on fate."
"Damn, all the bad luck came to you."
Dusting off the cigarette ash that fell on her knees, Lao Hua said with an indignant expression, and then looked up at Ji Xiu:
"Is there enough money?"
"That's enough, this single task is 300,000." Ji Xiu glanced at the nearby diners as he spoke, and lowered his voice.
During the small talk, the hostess brought breakfast.
The steaming food was fed into his mouth and swallowed down his throat and into his stomach, so that Ji Xiu's body, which was tired from labor, was moisturized and gradually relaxed.
Drinking the fish porridge in the spoon, Ji Xiu spit out a mouthful of hot air:
"Lao Hua, since I have saved enough medical expenses for the treatment of Mu Mu, I plan to stop doing it in the future, and accompany Mu Mu to grow up in peace, and I can't do it for a lifetime when I lick blood from the knife edge, right?"
Hearing this, Lao Hua was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile:
"It's good to retire early in this line, if you continue to do it, you will have to do it sooner or later, I also plan to retire, I have obtained a permit to go to sea these days, and I am ready to buy another fishing boat to go to sea to fish, I have been talking recently, it is not a problem to take down that fishing boat, you can do it with me when the time comes."
Speaking of this, Lao Hua seemed to think of something, and after crushing the cigarette in his hand on the table, he raised his head:
"By the way, how many points do you have left unused?"
Faced with the inquiry, Ji Xiu thought of the phone call he made when he completed the task last time.
The voice on the phone told him that the task of killing Han Yun was worth 100 points, and with the remaining points, the total number of points was 982 points.
"982 points, what's the use of these points?"
Hearing this, the old flower lowered her voice:
"When your total points reach 5,000 points, you can exchange the extraordinary power given by the Black Hole God to the Black Hole Organization, and become a supernatural power controller like the Yu Shock Saints.
The amount of information revealed by these words was extremely large, which made Ji Xiu fall into deep thought.
When he checked the Internet information before, he had suspected that the Yu Surprise Church should have mastered some way to activate the potential of the human body, so in the early days, only the Yu Surprise Church could produce extraordinary abilities in batches.
Now it seems that this black hole killer organization is not simple, and it has obviously mastered the way to activate the potential of the human body.
It is no wonder that the Yu Shock Church has to strictly supervise those with extraordinary abilities who are not from this church, and among those superpowers born from the people, there must be many troubled forces such as the Black Hole Killer Organization.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiu lowered his voice and continued to ask:
"Old Flower, what is the Black Hole God that the Black Hole Organization believes in?"
"An ethereal existence like Yu Jingshen, maybe it really exists, but at least we have never seen its true body...... Now the development of the Black Hole Organization is very rapid, if one day the Black Hole Organization really replaces the Yu Shock Church, and there will be a Black Hole Church to control the country. ”
After listening to Lao Hua's explanation, Ji Xiu couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
He was sure that the purpose of the Black Hole Organization was definitely not to take control of the country.
There is a saying in the world before the time-travel, "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world", whether this sentence is right or wrong, the people's hearts are always the key link, especially for forces such as the Black Hole Killer Organization, which are already in a weak position.
The people are the foundation of the development of the black hole organization, and they are also the source of subsequent vitality.
But the series of assassinations of the Black Hole organization have already made the reputation of this organization stinky.
Lao Hua's speculation is completely personal conjecture and does not conform to the development logic of a force that wants to seize power.
It can be seen that Lao Hua should be at the bottom of the Black Hole Killer Organization, and he has no access to the core intelligence of this organization.
In the ensuing conversation, Ji Xiu had a further understanding of the Black Hole Killer organization.
But the existing clues still can't piece together the reason why the Black Hole Killer Organization wanted to kill Han Yun.
As for asking about presbyopia, there is no need at all.
Lao Hua didn't even know that he was on a mission this time, how could he know about Han Yun.
The most important thing is that the killer only needs to complete the task, and he doesn't need to know why he is killing at all.
Even if he had Li Tan's original memory, he couldn't get more detailed information about this mission from his memory.
After breakfast, Lao Hua drove him back to his dream apartment, leaving a word to take care of himself and driving away.
When he got home, Ji Xiu took off his wet clothes and stuffed them into the washing machine, changed his clothes and went out again after taking a shower.
Although he was physically tired from a morning's busy work, he did not forget the agreement with Li Mumu and took a taxi straight to the Seminary Hospital.
The taxi driver was a middle-aged man, very talkative and took the initiative to talk.
Ji Xiu did not refuse this, and understood the world in more detail through communication with the driver.
Compared to learning about the world online, it is clear that you can get more out of it in person.
It can be seen from the conversation that the driver is a staunch believer in the god of Yu Jing, and the car also has a blue pendant blessed by the clergy of the Yu Jing Church.
After staying in this world for so long, Ji Xiu found that the people of Yu Jingguo were both curious and afraid of the outside world.
What is in the outside world, no one knows except for the upper echelons of the Yu Jing Church.
The information on the Internet does not record how big this world is, only the relevant description of the jurisdiction of the Yu Jing Kingdom.
It feels like the Yu Jing Church has captive the Yu Jing people.
But this kind of captivity is not like slavery, the Yujing Church has never restricted the cognitive growth of the people, and even opened a large number of schools for this purpose to let the people get rid of ignorance, learn to think independently, and the taxes collected are basically used for infrastructure construction to improve the living environment of the people.
Only when there is a problem in religious philosophy will the Yu Jing Church take drastic measures to adjudicate and suppress it.
At this stage, the biggest problem in the country is the oppression of the new supernatural abilities, that is, the curses.
It was good when the number of curses was small, but now the number of curses is rising, and the continued repression has caused the country to face the problem of tearing apart.
But the Yu Jing Church has never paid attention to the voices of the outside world, and the repression continues.
While chatting with the driver, the taxi turned a corner and drove into a main road less than 100 meters away from the hospital, and the traffic in front of it was congested, and the vehicle could only follow the traffic slowly.
At this moment, the commotion ahead attracted Ji Xiu's attention.
I saw that there were constantly figures in front of him who got out of the car and ran in the direction where he was, as if some kind of dangerous incident had happened in front of him.
"You won't encounter a source of pollution."
The driver's expression suddenly became nervous, and he wanted to open the door and go out, but there were running crowds on both sides of the door, and suddenly opening the door at this time would inevitably hurt passers-by.
However, Ji Xiu was very calm, rolled down the skylight, stood up and looked ahead.
I saw a large number of figures retreating from the direction leading to the hospital, and their expressions were extremely frightened.
But what exactly happened is not clear.
With doubts, Ji Xiu climbed onto the roof of the car along the window, slipped from the front of the car and stood firmly, and stretched out his hand to stop a young figure:
"What's going on up there?"
"There's a strange fog in the clergy hospital, run."
As he spoke, the young man continued to run with the flow of people.
"What's going on?"
The driver also climbed out of the roof of the car at this time, and asked Ji Xiu with a puzzled expression.
"There's a strange fog in the clergy hospital ahead."
Hearing the strange fog, the driver's face changed instantly:
"Run."
After speaking, the driver turned around and slid down from the direction of the trunk and followed the crowd towards the distance.
Although it is not known what the strange fog is, it can be seen that the local residents are very afraid of this kind of thing.
Ji Xiu wanted to follow the flow of people and leave, but he thought that the young man just now said that there was a strange fog in the hospital, and now Li Tan's daughter Li Mumu is still in the hospital.
Faced with a choice, Ji Xiu gritted his teeth and decided to go to the hospital after a short hesitation.
Unable to move forward against the flow of people, Ji Xiu climbed into the vehicle in front of the taxi and crossed the vehicle from the roof of the car in turn.
After crossing more than 100 meters, Ji Xiu came to the main road in front of the clerical hospital.
Turning his head to look in the direction of the clerical hospital.
I saw that the direction of the hospital had been shrouded in black fog and spread.
Everywhere the black fog went, the parked vehicles seemed to have undergone a long period of corrosion, the paint surface peeled off, quickly oxidized and rusted, and a large number of black plaques appeared on the ground, covering the surface like moss, spreading like a spider web with the spread of the black fog.
The roar of some kind of monster could be faintly heard from the black mist, and even the chewing sound of broken bones could be heard, which made Ji Xiu's brain make up the picture of a hideous and terrifying monster eating flesh and blood.
The scene in front of him made Ji Xiu feel bad.
"It's over, isn't it?"
I thought this was a superpower world with an urban theme, but I didn't expect it to come with horror invasion elements.
Looking at the black mist that spread from afar, Ji Xiu gritted his teeth and made a decision.
If nothing else, he felt like he was about to restart the timeline again.
But before that, he wanted to try to save Li Mumu.
"You can't lose the face of the Earth Traveler...... This one was delivered. ”
In addition to wanting to obtain the wish power brought by Mu Mu, ask yourself, he will also take action in the face of this situation.
"I'm going to see what's in there."
The danger of the invasion of the face, Ji Xiu jumped off the roof of the car and faced the black fog.
At this moment, Ji Xiu suddenly thought of a question, if he was killed by a monster in the black mist, would his soul take away the monster's body and be reborn?
