Chapter 17 Headhunting
Stepping into the door, Ji Menglan's brows furrowed slightly, but she only frowned slightly before returning to nature.
Closing the door, drinking a cup of tea, he went to the bedside and began to tidy up the messy quilt on the bed. This is a habit she has developed in the Demon City since she was a child, that is, she can't see her bed and clothes messily appear in front of her eyes.
After everything returned to the way she was before she went out, Ji Menglan turned around and walked to the table, poured herself a cup of hot tea again, and tasted the tea leisurely.
Because Ji Menglan no longer made any movements, the whole room was surprisingly quiet, so quiet that you could hear the sound of her lips sipping her tea, and so quiet that you could hear the sound of rapid breathing and heartbeat under the bed.
Such an atmosphere could not be more relaxed and natural for Ji Menglan, but for some people in the room, it was like sitting on pins and needles, and every moment was so tormenting.
Although she found that there was an abnormality in the room, Ji Menglan did not have any fluctuations in her heart, compared to the bloody storm she had experienced, this kind of situation was not on the table at all.
So I never worried about my own safety for two reasons. First, the person under the bed is not a threat to himself, and second, this is the Hongmen.
The only thing that made it unacceptable was that his bed and his parade were turned into a mess.
"Ah...... Labor and management can't stand it, what are you eating?"
With a burst of shouting, Ding Maozhuo escaped and seemed to crawl out from under the bed.
Maybe he was born a joke, and when he made up his mind to be a complete thief, he encountered such a ridiculous thing.
I followed my father to participate in the Hongmen banquet, but I accidentally recognized Ji Menglan who had a relationship a few years ago in Xunyang City.
Thinking of the world-shaking massacre of the Huangfu because of "The Replacement of Life", I wonder what is the magic of this "Replacement of Life", so that the Huangfu suffered a catastrophe.
Curious, Ding Maozhuo has been paying attention to Ji Menglan's movements, so he hides his face and sneaks to steal.
But when Ding Maozhuo sneaked in and found that Ji Menglan had just stepped out of the room in a messy manner, he realized that he was a step late, and when he was thinking about retreating, it happened that Ji Menglan returned, so he had to hide under the bed in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he rolled under the bed, a pair of eyes that were open to the limit suddenly appeared in front of him, so frightened that Ding Maozhuo almost screamed. calmed down and took a cursory look, only to realize that the man in black in front of him, who was dressed the same as himself, was the murderer behind the messy bed.
Although he felt that it was a little embarrassing for the two of them to hide under the bed facing each other, in order not to let Ji Menglan notice, he had to choose to endure it first, waiting for Ji Menglan to fall asleep or go out before retreating, but what happened next made Ding Maozhuo unable to bear it anymore.
Just when Ding Maozhuo thought that he was hiding under the bed and was not noticed by Ji Menglan and was glad, an unpleasant smell came to his face.
He sniffed tentatively twice with a frown, and the smell was a mixture of bad breath and garlic. In an instant, Ding Maozhuo only felt a churning in his stomach, dizzy, and couldn't bear such a smell, so Ding Maozhuo fled out with a crawl.
Seeing Ding Maozhuo's back crawling out from under the bed with a hilarious appearance, Ji Menglan looked puzzled.
Putting away the doubts on her face, Ji Menglan said in a positive voice: "What about the other one, are you asleep?"
Hearing the sound, Ding Maozhuo stopped "vomiting" and looked at Ji Menglan, although his eyes were full of tears, he immediately "burst into tears" and said: "Hehe, girl, don't worry, I'll help you call out the goods." ”
"Stinky and shameless, still there as a shrunken turtle, hurry up. ”
Ding Maozhuo crossed his waist with his hands crossed, and shouted at the bottom of the bed with his back bent, in Ji Menglan's eyes, it looked like a master scolding his master, which made Ji Menglan can't help but giggle.
With the sound of knees rubbing against the ground, a man in black who was dressed the same as Ding Maozhuo slowly crawled out from under the bed. The man in black crawled out from under the bed, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his father to punish him, and stood quietly in place without saying a word.
This man in black thought about escaping through the window, or directly absconding after eradicating the two people in front of him, but he knew very well that this was Hongmen, and at this time, the entire Hongmen was full of masters from all walks of life in the entire Central Plains.
So sitting back and waiting to die is the only choice for the man in black and Ding Maozhuo at this time.
After the man in black came out, he stood directly beside Ding Maozhuo, which made Ding Maozhuo frown again, pinched his nose with one hand, and said disgusted while stepping away from the man in black:
"Big brother, before you go out to be a thief in the future, do you want to rinse your mouth? Do you know how much trouble your mouth of garlic has caused people. ”
If you are an ordinary person, there are only two things you want to do at this moment, either find a crack in the ground and get in, or turn around and give Ding Maozhuo two big mouths.
No matter how embarrassed Ding Maozhuo was, the man in black had to forcibly endure the anger in his heart, after all, this was not the time to act rashly, but it was not a way to be said mercilessly like this.
"You...... Aren't you also a thief, why are you embarrassed to talk about me?"
"Tut-tut, look at you, Miss Ji, take a good look at this thing, I'm telling him about bad breath, but he is telling me what to do as a thief, are you angry?"
Ding Mao pointed at the man in black while arching his waist and said to Ji Menglan angrily.
Seeing Ding Maozhuo's measurement, Ji Menglan almost couldn't help laughing, but she also opened her mouth and said, "Aren't you guys in a group?"
"Who's with him? Don't you see that my temperament is very different?"
Hearing Ji Menglan say that she was with the guy with bad breath, Ding Maozhuo looked disgusted again.
coughed lightly twice, and then Ji Menglan spoke: "Answer my two questions, if you are satisfied, this girl will spare you two." ”
"Is that true?"
"You can also not answer, in this case, I can only ask Master Hong to come forward!"
"Hehe, don't dare, don't dare, if Miss Ji wants to know, just ask, I promise to invite the little one truthfully." ”
Knowing that Ji Menglan would no longer pursue it, Ding Maozhuo hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
After all, his identity is special, and if this matter spreads today, it will be an extremely fatal blow to himself or his family, so Ding Maozhuo is also forced to make this appearance.
"If you want to blame those two people who have the same background as you, but are more talented than yourself. Thinking to himself, Ding Maozhuo looked at Ji Menglan and waited for her question.
A touch of sadness flashed in Ding Maozhuo's eyes, and Ji Menglan saw it in her eyes, although she was a little puzzled, she didn't ask. Anyway, he has already decided to let them go, although his hands and feet are not clean, but there are more people in the world who want them to do this.
And they weren't their real enemies, because those people couldn't be stupid enough to do such a thing at this time.
Straightening her voice, Ji Menglan spoke, "What are you looking for?"
Glancing at each other, the two replied in unison: ""Life Change." ”
guessed correctly, it was the same as what Ji Menglan thought in her heart. After all, in the secret room of the Tiger Hunting Hall, that group of people went for this internal strength method.
"The following question is very important, and it depends on how you answer whether you can leave or not. ”
Seeing the expectant eyes of the two, Ji Menglan didn't delay any longer, and continued: "How did you know my identity?"
After speaking, Ji Menglan looked forward to it, after all, this was the biggest doubt in her heart.
Because he has lived in the Western Demon City since he was a child, he rarely appears in the Central Plains, although he has been here twice, it has been a few years since the last time, so it is impossible for anyone here to know him.
And he came all the way, all of them were secretive, although he had talked to Qi Wenbin and others about his name in Yancheng, they may not know their origins.
Ding Maozhuo replied truthfully: "This is a long story, but I can't hide it, I met Miss Ji at the group meeting a few years ago. Although it was a long time, when I saw Miss Ji in Xunyang City today, I recognized it at a glance. That's why I'm secretly following you. ”
"I see. ”
Ding Maozhuo's answer corroborated the fact that he had been to the Central Plains a few years ago, indicating that he was not lying, but it was surprising that after so long, this person could still recognize himself, and he had to admire his eyesight.
"What about you?"
Seeing that the other man in black didn't speak for a long time, Ji Menglan took the initiative to ask.
With a bang, the man in black suddenly knelt down.
The sudden action of the man in black really surprised Ji Menglan, after all, he said that as long as he answered truthfully, he would let them go, but this person's kneeling was incredible.
"What do you mean by that?"
The man in black was silent for a moment, and then he replied, "Headhunter, it's me." ”
"You ......"
Ji Menglan's brain was buzzing, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, "headhunter", a long-lost title.
When he was in the Tiger Hunting Hall, he was the head of the thirteen hunters, and his main task was to hunt down the remnants of the Demon Cult that appeared outside the Demon City. The word "headhunter" is what the other twelve hunters call themselves, and only the twelve of their own subordinates call themselves like this.
Ji Menglan couldn't believe her ears, because she thought that with the fall of the Tiger Hunting Hall, all the thirteen hunters except herself were wiped out with that catastrophe.
"Why...... Why are you still alive. ”
Ji Menglan's eyes moistened, forcibly suppressed the indescribable anger in her heart, and said through gritted teeth.
"Headhunter ......"
"Tell me, why are you still alive?"
The man in black knelt on his knees and wanted to kneel close to Ji Menglan, but was stopped by Ji Menglan's angry words.
"The subordinates are sorry for the headhunters, and even more sorry for the Tiger Hunting Hall, even if there are thousands of knives, the five horses are not enough to make up for the mistakes made by the subordinates. But the subordinates can't die at the moment, and when the time is ripe, the subordinates will definitely come to see them and give the headhunters an explanation. ”
A killing intent flashed in Ji Menglan's eyes, and she tried her best to suppress her voice extremely low, and said angrily: "Explain, you give me an explanation? Who will give the explanation of the hall master? Who will give the explanation of the thirteen hunters? Who will give the explanation of more than 100 lives in the Tiger Hunting Hall?"
Ji Menglan's whole body was full of murderous energy, she wanted to end the life of the man in black in front of her in an instant, but she was not carried away by hatred, she knew that if she did this, she would lose the opportunity to find the real mastermind behind the scenes.
"Give me time, all the explanations of the Tiger Hunting Hall will be given by my subordinates. ”
After saying that, the man in black got up and opened the door and left, but stopped for a moment when he stepped over the lintel.
Ji Menglan's murderous aura remained unabated, and she sat quietly in place, her eyes were dull, but they were extremely bright.
"What's going on, Moller?"
Ding Maozhuo, who watched all this happen, seemed extremely overwhelmed, and he didn't know whether to go or stay.
I wanted to ask myself if I could leave, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be better not to ask. After all, feeling the murderous aura exuded by Ji Menglan at this moment, the whole body couldn't help trembling, what if one of them accidentally talked too much, and the other party gave him a knife to relieve his anger?
"Miss Ji, then I won't bother, I'll bring you this door. ”
"Oh yo ......"
"Bang. ”
Ding Maozhuo went out, and when the two doors were about to close, the probe grinned and smiled, and said in a cordial tone like talking to a child, but it was a crescent moon scimitar with a cold light that flew into the door, which frightened Ding Maozhuo to close the door quickly, and then ran away with a smoke.
......
......
"Okay, I'm the protagonist of this chapter, what's the situation? Ruffian and scoundrel, you tell me clearly, you can't be the protagonist, forget it, I almost lost my life just now, and I don't take you to bully people like this. Woo~(>_<)~"
Ding Maozhuo's inner monologue.
