Chapter 63: The Pianist and the Fourth Master
"Didn't you pick up anyone?"
Mo Wei asked the assistant in surprise.
The temporary office in the ruined city headquarters was bright and spacious. Night had fallen, and heavy rain was still pouring outside the window, with almost no sign of clearing up.
The assistant received a message three minutes ago, from? A secret team heading to A3 base for a special mission.
They said they did not find the head of the base, but when gathering intelligence, they unexpectedly learned that Zhang Chun also disappeared mysteriously, including a special team behind him who called themselves the Amnesiacs who also disappeared mysteriously on the same night.
"Mysteriously disappeared..."
Mo Wei twitched his lips, "I remember half an hour ago, was it? Was it? Was it? A group of supernatural beings who called themselves the Ghost Squad had a conflict with the guards at the gate?"
"Yes."
The assistant was deeply impressed by this incident. After all, the scene of more than 40 people wearing black cloaks and black masks standing at the door was very oppressive. At first glance, they looked like they were here to cause trouble. It was reasonable for the guard to be vigilant and ask about their true identities.
No? What makes sense? A young man with a voice emerged from the group of black cloaks, claiming that their souls were bound to the mask and cloak. If they took off the mask and cloak, their souls would dissipate in the world.
The guard asked them about their identities and they just said they were the Ghost Squad.
When asked his name, the man with the young voice called himself "Dark King of Destruction".
This? Such a second-year setting and code name, no one around came out to refute it.
What's even more terrifying is that the guards really found the ghost team whose captain was "Dark's Dark Destruction King" from the registration list of superpowers.
But apart from the captain's name and the team's name, the rest of the information is unknown.
So I don't know whether these guys are the real ghost team or they are pretending to be that team.
The guard wanted to confirm the identity, but the other party was unwilling to take off the mask, and the scene froze for a moment.
In addition, it was raining heavily at that time, and there were many people queuing to enter the city. Everyone was in a state of unrest, and the situation became tense little by little.
Just when a fight was about to break out between the two sides, another team got in the way.
Mo Wei leaned back in his chair, frowned and sighed: "The hero team led by Ye Huahui... No? Now it is? Changed to the Tamer Team?"
Ye Huahui, a direct descendant of the Ye family, whose grandfather was once one of the elders of the parliamentary group, escaped the purge because he sensed the danger in advance and took the initiative to join the base commander. He has retired and delegated many powers. Many companies under the Ye Group are managed by the only direct bloodline, that is, Ye Huahui's biological father.
As for the other team members headed by Ye Huahui, their families have all experienced the cleansing plan personally ordered by Mo Wei, the death of blood relatives, the danger of being close yet distant, and the current environment of obvious surveillance. Although they are not likely to generate hatred, the possibility of resistance is very high.
So, take the initiative to help the Ghost Squad get rid of suspicion, right? For what?
Mo Wei fell into deep thought.
As for the ghost team at the door, is it real or fake? To have doubts is an insult to one's own intelligence.
More than 40 people from the "Amnesiac Family" disappeared at the same time as Zhang Chun and the base commander. Three days later, the same number of people appeared at the gate of the main base in the ruined city.
The strange uniform appearance, the childish mannerisms and titles also fit the character of "Zhang Chun's adopted son Yun Yan" as described in the information.
Therefore, the base commander and Zhang Chun are definitely not in this team.
but……
Mo Wei twirled the pen.
Can? Let Zhang Chun wear such exaggerated and eye-catching clothes, and cooperate with others to intimidate with momentum, the boy named "Yun Yan" is indeed amazing.
As for the base commander... he is a guy who only wants to cause chaos in the world.
…
"Hahaha! You? Want to join our Amnesiac Family, too? Hahahaha! You have good vision! In that case, let me, the famous Second in Command, test whether you are qualified! Hahahaha, hahaha——"
An ashtray hit Boss Lion hard on the back of his head. He staggered, touched his bleeding head, and continued to laugh brightly.
"First of all, let's go on an adventure on a rainy night!"
Who is standing in front of Boss Lion? The heroic beast tamer team led by Captain Ye.
Captain Ye was in high spirits, and he followed Boss Shi and shouted, "Oh! Charge!"
The teammates behind him said listlessly: "I'm tired and want to sleep. Captain, go play by yourself..."
As soon as they turned around, Captain Ye hugged one of them and burst into tears: "No, we have already missed the formation of the Ghost Squad. Now we absolutely cannot miss the Amnesia Home!"
Since the parliamentary group was destroyed, the family encountered many crises. They had to rush back to the ruined city to attend the old man's funeral and watch the excitement. No, yes, yes, to accompany their family through this difficult time.
Of course, it is enough to serve as a spiritual companion. If they contribute more to the struggle for power, that would be too much of a compliment to them.
Captain Ye said: We are waste!
Sure enough, the Yellowstone settlement is more comfortable.
I thought it would be a long time before I met the people from the Yellowstone settlement again, but I didn't expect the surprise to be so great that Captain Ye was almost moved to tears.
"It's so noisy! You guys, shut up! You guys are suppressing my voice!"
Captain Ye's wailing voice gradually became weaker.
The lion boss touched his bleeding head and turned to the black-haired boy standing at the table in the lobby. The boy spread his hands innocently, indicating that he did not speak.
Chu Xiuyan was still wearing the mask. In fact, everyone in the Amnesia House was wearing a mask.
This is a high-end hotel, sponsored by Captain Ye.
Chu Xiuyan stood on the glass table in the rest area, looking down at the amnesiac family members around him, and expressed his dissatisfaction with the first collective action seriously and solemnly.
"First of all, we have more people and more aura, but why did we get beaten in the end?" He pointed at a person at random, "You? Answer."
The person being pointed out felt the cold touch on his neck, swallowed, and said cautiously, "We kept our voices down a bit?"
Chu Xiuyan: "You reminded me that there is no background music for our appearance! Next time I have to bring two loudspeakers and speakers to the side. You are qualified, go and play by yourself."
That person dared not to leave the team.
"The second question is, my family, do you think our organization is too ordinary? Look at other organizations. They either have great ideals of destroying humanity or creating a new world. They are very impressive and attract everyone's attention as soon as they appear. I think we should also have a great ideal. Only in this way can we raise our status."
Chu Xiuyan said seriously.
Still waiting with Captain Ye? The Lion Boss, who was mumbling to others, was very surprised when he heard this and said, "I have already thought of the slogan. Domination of the world, mechanical ascension, how about this ideal?"
Again? An ashtray hit him right in the head.
The lion boss slowly fell to the ground, his mask slightly shattered, and he lay dead peacefully.
Chu Xiuyan retracted his hand, "The comedian has been kicked out of the group. Next, I hope that all family members can think carefully about their future ideals..."
At this time, one person raised his hand slightly.
"explain."
"It seems that the first and second in command are not here?"
Chu Xiuyan was horrified: "You? What did you say? Uncle Hediao and Brother Chu Li are not? Here??!"
Who is he showing off to? Damn it!
He ran out aggressively to chase someone.
The thirty or so former men in black who remained continued to stay where they were, showing no signs of escaping.
After all, the silver thread wrapped around the neck is still there.
Not long after that, a team of supernatural beings slowly walked into the hotel and nodded slightly to the dozens of black cloaks in the lobby.
Then he said, "I'm sorry, everyone. We have reserved this place for ourselves. Please stay somewhere else."
The moment Captain Ye saw that person, his heart sank, "S-level, Xuanlong Squad, Xuanwu."
The young man at the door saw Captain Ye and waved to him with a smile, "I remember you, the Ye family. This hotel belongs to you, right? We have come all the way back to the ruined city, and we are all soaked. I hope you can be kind and give it to us."
The girl next to him tugged at Xuanwu's sleeve and whispered, "Too much, too much, this? Is not? polite, this? Is? sarcastic."
Xuan Wu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, as long as the meaning is similar. I've been so polite, they won't argue with me, right?"
The next second, an air explosion suddenly struck.
Xuan Wu was slightly startled, and the space in front of him twisted and made a popping sound.
What is that? The space that was forcibly suppressed exploded.
"You? Also? Space type?"
Xuan Wu looked at the masked man with blond hair. As soon as he said this, he felt something was wrong. "Your power is very violent and tends to be offensive... You look familiar."
He stroked his chin.
But before he could figure it out, a group of enemies wearing black cloaks and masks appeared in front of him.
As soon as they started fighting, Xuan Wu was surprised.
"Hey, hey, this? Aren't you afraid of death? Fighting style..."
His smile suddenly deepened.
"This? Isn't it? The stinky dog in the house of those rotten old guys? It's still alive. Let me take a look..."
"Hahahahaha our masks are so cool, right?!"
Almost? The two black cloaks that attacked Xuan Wu quickly retreated to both sides. Similarly? The lion boss dressed in black appeared instantly and punched Xuan Wu hard, hitting his left eye.
“…”
Boss Lion blew his fist and said, "This? Is it? We were here first, there has to be a first come first served rule, right?"
The girl next to Xuan Wu looked at her captain with some concern and said, "Should we go to another place?"
Xuanwu wiped the blood from his nose and said something strange.
"Well, it's confirmed. Zai Zhe didn't lie. One million points? It's a loss."
He raised his head, gave the lion boss a polite smile, and then quickly activated his supernatural power.
The next second, countless black holes appeared in the hotel lobby, and then there were loud explosions one after another.
Smoke and dust billowed, and an explosion occurred outside the hotel? There were screams of terror.
Captain Ye and others squatted on the roadside. They did not feel sad at all for the destruction of their hotel. Instead, they were extremely happy and started to calculate the losses frantically with calculators in hand.
"Isn't he worthy of being the Lion Boss? A walking favor distribution machine?"
No? In three minutes, the guards of the ruined city arrived. They had received orders from the top leaders early on. They closed their eyes and uttered a sentence with difficulty, facing the S-level Xuanlong team and the Ghost team with a similarly complicated background.
"By order of the temporary base commander of the ruined city, everyone, please go to the prison."
True·Ruin City Base Chief·Lion Boss: "Ah?"
Xuan Wu, who took the initiative to cause trouble, shook his painful fingers and said expectantly: "Really? Prison No. 1?"
Guard: "No? ...Yes? Prison."
The smile on Xuan Wu's face disappeared, and he had to ask again: "Are you sure this is Mo Wei's order? We are going to participate in the general meeting of all superpowers tomorrow. We are S-level, and the person next to us is also important?"
The lion boss nodded repeatedly, pointed at himself and said: "Yes?! I am very important? Ah!"
Guard: "... Sorry, you two really need to go."
Lion Boss: "Family, my family, woo woo woo."
Xuan Wu: "I lost money, a lot of money? Yes."
…
At this time, the old town is located three kilometers away from the hotel.
Zhang Chun was walking slowly on the moss-covered steps. On the right were tall railings and walls, and on the left were dilapidated houses of uneven heights. The weed-covered path was crooked and almost no sunlight could enter, so the ground was always muddy and unbearable.
This? place carries his childhood memories? and also records his most embarrassing past.
Some of the people who followed him out of here stayed in other places forever, while others came back here after many twists and turns.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening.
It should have been a busy time, but the old town was completely silent.
The lights along the path were dim and looked a little hazy in the rain.
Suddenly, faint footsteps were heard.
Above, a white-haired old woman slowly walked down the steps, her cloudy eyes were empty and dull, she was holding an umbrella, her back was hunched, her clothes were full of patches, and she was carrying a basket in her hand, covered with cloth, and it was hard to tell what she was wearing.
The rain was really heavy at night, and the old woman slipped and was about to fall when a hand reached out from the front and helped her up.
"Ah, thank you, thank you..."
Zhang Chun subconsciously touched his face, and when he was sure that the mask was still on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he picked up the umbrella, handed it to the old man, and asked softly, "Why did you come out alone at night?"
The old man was slightly startled, shook his head, and sighed, "Go to sweep the grave of a villain who is hated by everyone. Young man, why would you come to such a place so late at night?"
As for fighting? Acting mysterious and weird, to be honest, the old man has seen a lot of it, some powerful people always like to be unique.
"I……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Chun didn't know what to say.
At this time, a voice came from the side, continuing Zhang Chun's words.
"We are here to take pictures. The scenery here has a unique beauty."
I don't know when the shadow squatting on the wall said, holding a camera in his hand, the lens is pointed in the direction of the old man and Zhang Chun, and he said: "Come, look here, compare..."
The old man showed a toothless smile, stretched out his fingers, and took the photo seriously.
Then he patted Zhang Chun's arm and sighed, "The road here is very slippery, young man, go home early. There is nothing to see here, so why not go and see the lively scene outside."
The old man staggered slowly down the steps and disappeared into the darkness.
Zhang Chun still stood there.
The figure on the wall landed on the ground with a thud and said to Zhang Chun, "Since you can't let it go, why not move this old city to the A3 base? Since you have earth-related abilities, it should be easy."
The complicated thoughts were instantly dispersed by this sentence. Zhang Chun felt helpless. He didn't want to let the depressed emotions pass to the boy, so he changed the subject: "You? Why did you come out alone?"
Chu Xiuyan puffed up his cheeks, "Because two guys left the team without saying a word, showing a lack of team spirit! They should be criticized!"
Zhang Chun: "Then I'll go back? To write a self-criticism."
Chu Xiuyan: "No? Can? Less than 3,000 words."
"well."
Zhang Chun pulled the boy to leave here, but Chu Xiuyan pulled him down the stairs instead.
"I want to visit Mr. Bad Guy's grave."
Zhang Chun: "What's there to sweep?"
Even though he said this, he still couldn't persuade the boy in the end. He walked down the stairs and came to a remote little house.
The entrance was filled with flowers and offerings. The old man was nowhere to be found. Only three candles were still burning in the wind and rain, emitting a faint light that illuminated the still warm meat and fruit beside them.
"It's a bit wasteful. Will Mr. Bad Guy in the sky allow me to steal a little bit of the offering?"
Chu Xiuyan jumped a few steps and landed at the door of the small house, being careful not to step on the offerings.
Zhang Chun, who was further away, stood at the intersection, his eyes under the mask showing a hint of nostalgia, and then he sighed: "Even if you eat openly, no one will stop you?"
Chu Xiuyan took an egg, squatted at the door and began to eat it, saying vaguely: "It seems that the residents here really hate that bad guy. Even the sacrifices are cold."
The egg is not big, it will be ready soon. After eating, he patted his chest and choked a little.
"Uncle, help, help..."
Zhang Chun had no choice but to take the boy to the nearest convenience store to buy water.
After swallowing a mouthful of water, Chu Xiuyan finally breathed in comfort.
At this time, Zhang Chun also calmed down. Although he missed the old people and scenery in the old city, the regret should not last too long.
At the right time, returning to the public eye is one of the things to do next.
Only if you are strong enough, can you protect the people behind you.
Zhang Chun exhaled lightly and said, "Let's go back to the hotel."
Chu Xiuyan shook his head, "No? No, Brother Chu Li is still fooling around outside, we have to catch him first."
It's hard to tell where the bartender is going.
Fortunately, the system is still a qualified hacker.
After half an hour of pursuit, they stopped in front of a bar.
Even outside the door, one could hear the noise coming from the bar, and the colorful beams of light could almost blind one's eyes.
Chu Xiuyan: "Wuhu!"
As soon as he rushed forward, Zhang Chun, who had a sullen face, grabbed him by the collar.
"You? Can't? Go in? Wait? at the door."
Zhang Chun was about to go in and arrest someone, but Chu Xiuyan stopped him.
"Uncle, you don't understand. This is not the way to get into a bar. We have to kick the door and pretend to be a troublemaker in order to lure out the boss!"
Zhang Chun thought: "…Why do we need to? To bring out the big boss?"
Chu Xiuyan also pondered: "Because bars are a good place for fighting?"
Zhang Chun slowly typed a question mark.
The next second, a cold voice came from above my head.
"Go up to the second floor through the back door."
The bartender sitting by the window on the second floor lowered his eyes and looked at the black-haired boy who was wondering how to cause trouble at the door of the bar below. He looked at Zhang Chun for a moment and shook his head slightly.
Afterwards, Chu Xiuyan was forcibly dragged by Zhang Chun to the second floor through the back door.
With the guidance of the staff, they entered a private room.
There were only two people in the box.
The bartender sat on the left, quietly brewing tea, with an indifferent look, looking calm and composed.
On the right sat a stern-looking man in a suit and tie, with a cold and arrogant temperament, and the word "expensive" written all over his body, as if he would utter the classic line "The weather is cold and the king is broken" in the next second.
"Fuck, a domineering boss character?"
Chu Xiuyan was shocked. He moved behind the bartender and asked in a low voice, "Who is this Ao Batian?"
The bartender was silent for a moment, as if he was reluctant, and said, "Pianist."
Zhang Chun suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the man opposite him with full vigilance.
Chu Xiuyan was still surprised at how unique the pianist's personality was.
The next second, a crisp slap sounded.
The arrogant man in front of him suddenly slapped himself, his eyes struggled for a moment, then he turned arrogant and said disdainfully: "Bullshit, I am the famous [Wild Dog], ranked fourth, nicknamed the Fourth Master!"
As soon as this sentence fell, this person's expression changed again and again, sometimes struggling and angry, sometimes contemptuous and disdainful, and finally stopped at fatigue.
The pianist rubbed his temples and said in a low and hoarse voice: "As you can see, I had a little accident."
The voice of the man who calls himself the Fourth Master immediately followed up, "I was staying in prison, but this guy suddenly broke in and ruined my actions. He dragged my soul into this body without permission, causing my body and my partner to be trapped in that prison!"
Then came the deep voice of the pianist, "That is obviously your ability! Anyway, I originally planned to sneak into the prison and steal the dog's body, but for some reason, the security of the prison has suddenly become extremely tight, making it difficult to invade."
The Fourth Master's voice also became serious: "So we need your help!"
Zhang Chun's eyes looked a little strange.
The bartender continued to drink his tea, with an indifferent attitude, obviously not intending to step into this muddy water.
Chu Xiuyan was very interested. [Oh my god, this is the first time I have seen such a novel character.]
The system also expressed surprise: [Buy one, get one free. ]
