Chapter 374 Outsourcing
Luo Chenming, floating in the air, pinched his chin with his hand, looking carefully at the playing cards hanging in front of him. The J representing Liu Yuan, the 10 representing Xingli, and the 9 representing Xingluo were now gradually dimming, and only the Q and K and the 7 and 8 represented by the Clown Nightingale were still flashing.
"The elites of the Special Management Bureau... they're not that easy to deal with."
And at this moment, a figure slowly appeared beside him.
The figure was wearing a black cloak and carrying a long sword on his back. Although he was not an alien, he exuded a murderous aura.
"I am the captain of the Eighth Squad of the Special Management Bureau. You and your Masked Gang are suspected of multiple illegal activities, so... I will execute you here and now."
"Execute on the spot? That's really unreasonable." Luo Chenming waved his hand slowly, causing all the poker cards to dissipate in the air, leaving only the Ace of Spades.
The cloaked man looked at the Ace of Spades and scoffed. "So, this is your own card, isn't it? Don't worry, my colleagues won't waste long. They'll make sure none of your cards remain, all dissipated in the fireworks you've created."
The long sword behind the man began to hum, and then it slowly pulled out of the scabbard as if it had self-awareness, floating beside the man.
"Alas, I didn't expect that in this era, there are still sword-wielding monks like you. I thought you were extinct and could only be seen in novels."
Luo Chenming didn't seem to be afraid at all. Of course, he knew very well that he had no way to escape from this man, and the space transfer technology he relied on would never be faster than his sword.
"It's just a form of controlling the realm. It can be considered a hobby of mine." The man raised his hand gently, and the flying sword circled around him several times before pointing the tip of the sword directly at Luo Chenming.
"Before I die, can you let me know who your immediate superior is?" Luo Chenming held the Ace of Spades between his fingers. "Just fulfill my wish, okay?"
The man was not in a hurry to take action, because he knew that under his power, the person in front of him had no way to escape.
"I'm affiliated with the Huaxia Special Management Bureau. My immediate superior is naturally the director of the Special Management Bureau, Director Lu Shanlu."
"It's already this late, stop teasing me." Luo Chenming sneered and then slowly took off his mask.
"Am I sincere enough? Don't worry, I can't escape. I really just want to know who is the mastermind behind you who stopped our Mask Gang from exposing the Rin Yue powder and then wanted to kill us to silence us..."
The cloaked man looked at Luo Chenming's face, then smiled slightly: "As I said before, my leader is General Lu."
After saying that, the flying sword cut through the night sky and rushed towards Luo Chenming with a faint light.
Luo Chenming's figure suddenly turned into a ball of black mist, but the flying sword seemed to know where he disappeared, and suddenly turned the sword and stabbed at the back of the cloaked man.
Behind him, Luo Chenming was about to launch a sneak attack, and the sword pierced his heart directly.
The cloaked man slowly turned around and looked at Luo Chenming, whose mouth was bleeding, and said, "The Mask Gang...that's ridiculous. You've offended the wrong people, kid."
He raised his hand and slowly placed it on Luo Chenming's shoulder. Luo Chenming's chest was pierced by the sword, and blood had dyed his magician robe and snow-white suit shirt red.
"Do you think...she issued a kill order against you all because of the Linyue fans and the Linyue Church?" The cloaked man pinched Luo Chenming's chin, then leaned close to him and said coldly.
"You're wrong, all of you. The Lingyue Powder can be replaced by something else at any time, and the Lingyue Church can be replaced by the Moon Worship Teachers, the Sun Chasing Chamber of Commerce, or anything else. But... for Director Shuo Bai, she will never allow clowns like you to disrupt her plans to appear in the area under her jurisdiction."
"Shuo...Bai...Director..." Luo Chenming's consciousness was beginning to fade. The power contained in the flying sword was seeping into his body bit by bit, causing his alien core to slowly collapse.
"Do you understand now? You and the Lingyue Church are not important to her, but the absence of you is very important to her."
Swish——
The man personally grasped the hilt of the long sword and struck the alien in the throat with one blow, causing it to close its eyes completely.
"Now that the main body has disappeared, that ridiculous beast parade should probably be over."
The cloaked man looked at the parade and feast still singing and dancing on the street below, and slowly frowned: "...Why haven't they disappeared yet?"
At the same time, something slowly floated down and came in front of the man.
It was an ace of spades.
"...This is the Ace of Spades from just now, but isn't he dead?" At this moment, the man suddenly realized something. He turned around abruptly and found Luo Chenming standing behind him unharmed.
"Now I completely understand, sir. Thank you for your patience in explaining this. By the way... let me tell you a secret. This Ace of Spades doesn't represent me..."
"Not...you? Then...this is..."
Luo Chenming slowly took out his phone under the man's stunned gaze, and then said to the person on the other end of the line, "Did you hear everything clearly, Director Lin?"
Lin... Bureau?
The man's pupils slowly widened, and then he suddenly felt the Ace of Spades in front of him trembling, and then a familiar and frightening voice came from the Ace of Spades.
"I heard you clearly. Thank you for teleporting me here."
The moment the girl in the white shirt appeared in front of him instead of the Ace of Spades, a fist came at the same time. It was just this one punch, not fast, not powerful, but the man could not avoid it no matter what. The flying sword seemed to have a spirit and was across in front of the man, trying to block the punch for him.
But with a crisp sound, the girl's punch broke the flying sword into two pieces, and at the same time, the owner it was protecting was slammed to the ground from mid-air, and the landing point was exactly in the boundary decree set up by the stone man.
The stone man was still grinning as he looked at his recovered arm: "Ha, ha, ha, ha, I'm healed. I am already the best under heaven..."
boom--
Before he could finish his words, a figure smashed his newly recovered arm into pieces again.
“It hurts!!!! Aaaahhhh!!!”
Lin Ze held her suit jacket in one hand, twisted her neck, then turned to look at Luo Chenming with her signature indifferent smile.
"Those two little friends of mine must have caused you some trouble, Lao Luo."
Luo Chenming quickly lowered his head. "No... Director Lin, please don't say that. If it weren't for Mr. Li and Miss Xia, I'm afraid we'd still be threatened by the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce. Although things seem to be getting more and more troublesome now... But, I have to say, Mr. Li is indeed... very special."
In fact, at the beginning of this carnival, Lin Ze had already contacted Luo Chenming. As for why he contacted Luo Chenming, it was because he found out through the Intelligence Management Department of Tianhai City that Luo Chenming was once an alien member of the executive force of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau.
"Why are you so nervous, Lao Luo? It's been so long since we last met. There's no need to be so restrained. After all, you're not a member of the Special Management Bureau anymore."
"...Yes, Director Lin, thanks to your care, I was able to retire smoothly."
Lin Ze waved his hand, indicating that the past did not need to be mentioned again. Luo Chenming looked at the off-road vehicle below and said to Lin Ze: "Director Lin... please help Mr. Li and Miss Xia. After all, they have to face that sacred beast Xuanwu..."
When Lin Ze heard Xuanwu's name, he was also stunned: "Shuo Bai even mobilized Xuanwu?"
Luo Chenming nodded.
Lin Ze sighed, but showed no intention of taking action: "Don't worry, if she really dares to use Xuanwu, I think... Chang Yue will also find someone to help."
"Help...? Director Lin, I think if you or Director Chang take action, Xuanwu should also..."
Lin Ze immediately made a silencing gesture towards Luo Chenming: "...Lao Luo, no matter what, I am still the deputy director. This is the territory of the General Administration. My level does not allow me to openly confront the General Administration, not even Chang Yue. So... hiring some outsourced personnel is sometimes convenient and saves trouble, isn't it?"
The outsourced personnel who can solve Xuanwu's problem... who is this person?
Luo Chenming couldn't help but think so in his heart.
"Then...then can you ask Director Lin to save my captain and companions..." Luo Chenming immediately thought of the poker cards of Liu Yuan and others which were gradually fading, and then said to Lin Ze.
"Didn't I tell you, Lao Luo?" Lin Ze stretched and put on his suit jacket: "I hired an outsourcer."
