Chapter 18: The Inevitable

Duan Tian and they walked all night.

The battle along the way made them a little tired. However, the harvest is also very rich, and there are two magic cores in his hand, two of the fourth order, twenty of the third order, ninety-eight of the second order, and two or three hundred of the first order.

The strength of the Three-Eyed Lion has been restored to the third order. Duan Tian also practiced once halfway, but still did not break through to a high-level warrior. provoked the three-eyed lion to abuse again and again.

Pengcheng Community.

Rumors that Duan Tian cheated his death for money escalated, saying that he left Yangzhou District in order to cheat his death and killed people on the way out.

This rumor naturally reached Duan Shixiong's ears.

He understood that this was Zhang Deming and Yang Ji's warning.

If he didn't hand over the secret of Duan Tian's resurrection, they would make the matter of Duan Tian's resurrection public.

Duan Shixiong turned his heart sideways, "Since this is the case, then I will do things to the last point!"

......

City Guard Bureau.

Duan Shixiong came for the first time.

He was greeted by a middle-aged man in his thirties, "Sir, is there anything wrong with you?"

"I'm looking for your director!" Duan Shixiong hesitated for a moment and said his request.

The middle-aged man glanced at Duan Shixiong with disdain, "Our director is very busy, if you have anything to tell me first, I will report to him when our director is free." ”

"Fight with me," Duan Shixiong's face changed, revealing a cold air, "There are some things that you better not listen to, otherwise you will die." ”

Listening to Duan Shixiong's somewhat gloomy words, the middle-aged man didn't dwell on it anymore, "Okay, then you wait for a while, I'll take a look, and if he is free, I'll help you report it." ”

Ten minutes later.

"Sir, our Director asks you to come over. "It's still the middle-aged man just now, "Follow me, go this way." ”

The middle-aged man took Duan Shixiong out of the door, turned two corners, and came to the door of a room.

"Knock! knock!"

The middle-aged man knocked on the door twice, "Director, someone brought it." ”

"Well, you let him in," a majestic voice came from inside the door.

"Yes!" the middle-aged man replied respectfully.

"You can go in," the middle-aged man turned to leave, a cold light flashing in the corner of his eye.

Duan Shixiong pushed the door and entered.

In a small study, on the chair behind the desk, sat a man his age.

The hair is slightly white, the forehead is full, the thick eyebrows are thick, and a pair of deep eyes seem to be able to see through all the puzzles. The sharp square face has an expression of absolute confidence that is often found in superiors.

"What's the matter with you, say?" said him, with a hint of non-rejection in his tone.

"You are the director of the city defense guard?" Duan Shixiong asked, the stakes were high, and he had to confirm the identity of the other party first.

After the catastrophe, television and newspaper media have long been a thing of the past, and ordinary people have no chance to meet any high-ranking officials and big figures in ordinary times.

"My name is Ma Zhiqiang, and I am currently the director of the urban defense guard bureau of Dongcheng District, Yangzhou District, this is my identity card," Ma Zhiqiang casually threw out a gold medal and threw it on the table, "If you still don't believe it, you can go out." ”

"I'm sorry, the stakes are high, I have to ask clearly," Seeing this gold medal, Duan Shixiong was completely sure that the other party was really the director.

He is not afraid of the other party's forgery, the weak forgery, once found out, he will definitely die. And the strong, there is no need to forge at all.

"Then tell me, what's the matter?" Ma Zhiqiang was a little impatient.

Duan Shixiong suddenly asked, "Do you believe that people can come back from the dead?"

"Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to come back from the dead," Ma Zhiqiang was even more upset, but still said patiently, "If it is a strong person like Wu Daofan and Ye Shiwen, it is estimated that they can come back from the dead." ”

"But some people say that my son has come back from the dead," Duan Shixiong looked aggrieved, "Even in the Pengcheng community where I live, there are rumors that my son cheated to death and cheated money." ”

My son has been a famous waste since he was a child, how can he have such abilities. Ask Commissioner Ma to help administer justice. ”

Ma Zhiqiang was surprised, "Your son came back from the dead? ”

Duan Shixiong told Wang Zheng, Zhang Deming, and Yang Ji about the persecution of him by Wang Zheng, Zhang Deming, and Yang Ji after his son's death.

Of course, he didn't mention Duan Tian's return.

"Then has your son been resurrected?" Ma Zhiqiang leaned forward a little.

"They all said it so true, I'm not sure now," Duan Shixiong looked puzzled, "My son has not been able to cultivate the energy in his body since he was a child, and everyone in the Pengcheng community knows about it." ”

"My family has invited a lot of doctors and samurai, and they have all seen it, but they have not been able to make him cultivate the energy in his body. ”

"On the day he died, my wife passed out and was in a vegetative state, but two days later she suddenly woke up, and the doctors said it was a miracle. Then Wang Zheng said that he saw my son come back. ”

"But none of our family saw him, and we secretly wondered if his spirit had returned. Or maybe there was someone nearby who looked like my son, and they mistook him for my son. ”

"My Duan family has lived in the Pengcheng community for more than 100 years, and two generations have died, and no one has ever been resurrected, and the whole community knows about it. ”

"Sometimes we also wonder if he really came back to life, then why didn't he come back and see. It's not easy for us to raise him as parents, does he want to just ignore us?"

"If he is not resurrected, I have also been to his grave, and there is indeed no body, and there is no trace of an alien creature opening the coffin. It's a bit like he pushed the coffin open after he was resurrected. ”

Ma Zhiqiang took a sip of the water on the table, frowned and pondered for a while and asked, "You just mentioned that they said that your son has a lion cub, so is there such a lion in your family?"

Duan Shixiong affirmed: "There is a dog, but there is absolutely no lions." ”

Ma Zhiqiang asked again: "Have you raised it before?"

"My family has never had a lion," Duan Shixiong straightened down.

Ma Zhiqiang lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and stared at Duan Shixiong with burning eyes: "You told me so much today, aren't you afraid that I will decide that your son's resurrection is true and arrest your whole family." ”

"Then will you be compelled to hand over the secret of the resurrection?"

Duan Shixiong did not back down, and looked at Ma Zhiqiang: "I also thought about this possibility before I came." But if I don't come, under the offensive of Wang Zheng, Zhang Deming, and Yang Ji, the disaster of my family is still inevitable. ”

"If it comes to you, maybe there's a silver lining. ”

Under Ma Zhiqiang's puzzled gesture, Duan Shixiong continued: "If you choose to arrest my whole family directly, it will only mean that the disaster will happen in advance. ”

"Whether it's the three of them or you, my Duan family can't resist. In the end, the end is the same. ”

"If you choose to follow the rules, you can keep my family safe. ”

Ma Zhiqiang was upright, his momentum was like a mountain, and he approached Duan Shixiong, "Then what do you think I will choose?"

Duan Shixiong took a deep breath: "I just want to talk about my thoughts. If my son is not resurrected, and you choose to arrest someone, it can only be regarded as my Duan family's catastrophe. ”

"If you choose to protect my Duan family, our whole family is grateful, and at the same time, you are as fair as a mountain. ”

"If my son does come back to life, you choose to arrest someone. Since my son can be resurrected, I think his strength should not be too bad even if it can't be compared with Wu Daofan and Ye Shiwen. ”

"If you choose to protect my Duan family, our whole family will not forget your great kindness, Director Ma. ”

After Duan Shixiong said these words, his momentum became even stronger, and he looked at Ma Zhiqiang.

Ma Zhiqiang got up, crossed Duan Shixiong, walked around the wall next to him from behind him, pushed open the window, and looked out of the window. Duan Shixiong's words just now analyzed the pros and cons for him very clearly.

There is both helplessness and threat.

Duan Shixiong did not move, quietly waiting for Ma Zhiqiang's decision. At this point, he has no way out, and his heart is much more relaxed.

The breeze gently swept through Ma Zhiqiang's body and drifted indoors. The atmosphere in the study was softened a lot by this breeze.

"You go back first, wait until I look into it before I make a decision. Ma Zhiqiang still didn't think about whether to choose.

Duan Shixiong didn't say a word, got up and left.

After Duan Shixiong left, Ma Zhiqiang immediately asked people to investigate what Duan Shixiong said.

As soon as it got dark, he got all the news he wanted. It was even more detailed than what Yang Ji had investigated, and even when they entered the Winged Snake Forest, they were all found by him.

The forest where Duan Tian and the others are now was originally the territory of the sixth-order two-winged snake, so the humans named it the Winged Snake Forest.

In addition to the fact that it is impossible to determine whether Duan Tian is resurrected or not, what Duan Shixiong said is basically true.

At this time, there was a painting on the table in Ma Zhiqiang's study, and Duan Tian and the three-eyed lion were painted vividly.

"Since I'm not sure, I'll check it out for myself. Ma Zhiqiang put on a night suit and disappeared into the dark night sky.

The night was dark, without a hint of moonlight.

Ma Zhiqiang kept dodging and running on the road.

Every time he flashes, he will appear fifty meters away, which is Ma Zhiqiang's unique trick, a chain of 100 flashes. It was he who observed the running of the fourth-order leopard, and then groped for it himself.

With his identity as the director of the city defense guard, he easily went out of the city.

Without the slightest hesitation, he went directly to the Winged Serpent Forest. With his speed, even a sixth-order two-winged snake couldn't catch up. As for those below the fifth order, they didn't threaten his safety at all.

Ma Zhiqiang searched the outer area of the Winged Snake Forest for a night, but did not find Duan Tian and them.

However, his whereabouts were detected by the three-eyed lion, "Boy, be careful, an intermediate general has come in."

Duan Tian was surprised, "Where is he now?"

"He was wandering around the periphery of the forest, as if looking for something, possibly for us. ”

The three-eyed lion wondered, "Have you done something unconscionable to other people's women?" ”

", don't think everybody is like you!"

"Is it to avenge the high-ranking samurai we killed?"

Deep down in Duan Tian's heart, he always felt shocked.
