Chapter 238 Abnormal
When Chen Chuan approached the target, he found that it was a residential area. The houses here were old, the paint on the street guardrails was peeling, the connecting rods were dented by people stepping on them, the street lights had long been damaged, and there were only scattered pedestrians on the road.
When you get here, you can hardly see any light and shadow effects through the boundary. Most of the people living here are probably not citizens.
He looked down and, based on the previous location, the problem occurred behind a building less than 200 meters away.
In addition to the suspicious commission, he also found relevant news reports that said that large numbers of dead birds were often found in this area.
This alone wouldn't be a big deal. Maybe something leaked, or the bird got sick, or it just hit an unidentifiable window.
But every time such an incident occurs, many local people say that they can see a huge bird shadow passing by overhead.
Another person went to the scene to investigate. Sometimes, he could see a figure standing behind him in the window reflection, smiling at him. But the problem was that the figure had a human head and a bird body. And when he turned around to look again, there was nothing there.
Such news is very shocking and very eye-catching. However, the public only listens to it as a curiosity at best, and few seem to pay any further attention to it.
Although there was a commission to investigate the incident, the source did not seem to be a local. Instead, it looked like a wealthy person who wanted to satisfy his curiosity.
It didn't take long for Chen Chuan to find the place where the bird landed. It was on the roof of a residential building. In the corner, you could see many feathers covered with filth and dust.
At this time, he noticed that there were a lot of graffiti that looked regular on the guardrail not far away.
He walked over, took a closer look, and discovered that it was actually a Tantric pattern.
So, this isn't a ghost story, but... a secret religious ritual?
In his judgment, this Tantric pattern was very amateurish and was just a poor imitation of certain patterns.
Tantric patterns are not something that anyone can draw. To achieve the desired effect, one needs to be extremely precise and invest a lot of emotion, knowing clearly what one wants to do and what one wants to get.
The emotions are chaotic, there's no clear purpose, and the images are messy. Perhaps it could make people doze off? However, it seems many people in Central City abuse drugs. If they overuse drugs and then come here, the effects might be exacerbated, and they might even experience hallucinations.
Regardless of whether this is the case or not, he walked around here, and no shadow appeared on my body, which means that either there is no ghost story here, or it has been cleared out long ago.
He was not disappointed at this. He had prepared himself mentally when he came out. He did not expect to be able to determine the situation in one go. This was only the first place he would check today. He still had to visit several other places, so he came down from the building and came out of this residential area.
At this moment, at the edge of the residential area, more than a dozen people holding various tools and weapons had gathered, and at the order of the big brother, they dispersed and hid around.
The man looked inside with a relaxed expression. This was not the first time they had done something like this. His brothers were very experienced and nothing would go wrong.
He could tell Chen Chuan's background at a glance. He was middle-class and had some money, but not a lot. Maybe he came to the central city to seek refuge with a relative.
They have seen too many people like this, who obtain temporary residence permits through a sponsor and then try to find a job before their qualifications expire.
Even if you lose your citizenship, most people will not fire you and will be happy to hire you at a lower salary. This not only allows you to work people to death, but also allows you to not take any responsibility if something goes wrong.
The target this time may have practiced martial arts, but that’s okay, as this isn’t the first time they’ve dealt with a fighter.
Young fighters are actually very good targets. Being young means that they will not be too strong, and being a fighter means that their organs and alienated tissues are healthy and strong, and can be sold at a better price.
When Chen Chuan walked out the same way he came, he found that the few pedestrians who were originally scattered on the street had disappeared and the surroundings became quiet. He looked calm and continued walking forward.
At this moment, several cans were thrown out from the alleys and corners in front, behind, left and right, and fell to the ground. Immediately, a pungent smell came out, and at the same time as a large amount of smoke filled the air, a faint smell was emitted. This was a paralyzing gas, which was specially used to deal with powerful fighters.
There were hurried footsteps around. In the smoke, several people holding black rubber-covered steel rods were running towards him quickly, while two people were standing next to him, each holding a launcher. With a bang, two large electrified nets opened and covered him.
The eldest brother watched confidently from behind. Once the net covered a person, there was no way to break free. A ruthless beating with the steel rod would quickly make the fighter lose his fighting ability. Then all he had to consider was moving him and selling him at a good price.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Chen Chuan walking out from the thick smoke. He looked fine, and his eyes were unusually calm.
He was stunned and his face changed several times. After a moment, he suddenly spat out the cigarette in his mouth and ran backwards.
But he didn't run far before a stone came from behind and hit the back of his head with a bang. He fell forward involuntarily and lay there motionless. Only a liquid mixed with blood and implant tissue fluid flowed out of him.
The smoke in the back was slowly dissipating at this time, revealing a dozen people scattered around with twisted bodies. Some were hanging on the guardrails on one side, while others were pressed against the wall with their chests collapsed, as if they were embedded there.
Chen Chuan's pace did not change at all. When he passed the body of the man, he took a look and searched through his figure and face. He found that the man was involved in a case and was suspected of trafficking organs and alienated tissues.
Judging from the tools these people carried, they probably wanted to capture him alive and then tear him apart and sell him.
These people all have implants, their movements are very agile, and they are fully equipped. Ordinary fighters, even with protective clothing, can be knocked down if they are not careful.
He left directly from here without any intention of reporting to the security patrol. Perhaps their accomplices would do something after discovering their bodies, which would have nothing to do with him.
After coming out from here, he went to other target locations, but found nothing there either.
It was already afternoon by then. He thought about it and felt that this way of searching was too inefficient. It would be better to let Lao Qi look it up on his behalf. After all, it would be easier for him to look up the information as the client, and at most he would have to pay some fees.
He called up the contact interface, looked at Lao Qi's profile picture, and clicked it. After waiting for a while, Lao Qi's slightly tired voice came from it, "Student Chen, is there anything I can help you with?"
Chen Chuan said: "Mr. Qi, I want to talk to you about the commission."
Lao Qi perked up, "Okay, that's it..." He smiled bitterly, "I'm in a bit of trouble right now, I might not be able to get out for a while, can you wait for me to come out..."
"Did something happen?"
Lao Qi sighed and said, "I was detained by the patrol and need to pay a fine. I'm trying to find someone to collect the money, so you may have to wait."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment, asked about the amount of his fine, and said, "I can help you pay the fine first, but I need your help with something."
When Lao Qi heard this, he quickly agreed and thanked him repeatedly.
Chen Chuan said, "Wait for me to come over."
An hour later, Chen Chuan led Lao Qi out of the city patrol security post and brought him to a leisure chair in the roadside flowerbed. Lao Qi first took a bottle of water and drank it in big gulps. After drinking it, he leaned back in the chair dejectedly.
After a while, he slowly said: "The money I just earned from doing private work was taken away. This is the largest amount of money I have made in the past few years, and now it all goes to those bastards.
"These guys came right after I finished my work. I thought about it and figured maybe they wrote down my license plate number after we escaped the Border Patrol that day. Maybe they've been keeping an eye on me these past few days, ready to mess with me at any time, so they caught me right away this time. Shit!"
Chen Chuan said, "Mr. Qi, you're actually quite lucky. If it were any other situation, you might not be able to get out as easily as you did today."
"That's true." Old Qi cheered up a little. He looked up at Chen Chuan and said, "Brother Chen, today is all thanks to you. By the way, I haven't asked you why you came to see me yet?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I currently need to take on some special commissions, but I don't want to deal with the commissioning company."
Lao Qi understood immediately and said, "I understand. You can handle these matters, and I'll figure out how to deal with the other issues."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
Lao Qi said in embarrassment, "Brother Chen, you are flattering me. You are a regular student of Wuyi College and live in Xuangong Building. The commission you have undertaken must be an extraordinary one. I..."
Chen Chuan said, "These commissions don't involve any personal grudges or vendettas. They're just special commissions. You can make your request for the remuneration, and I won't force you."
After hearing this, Lao Qi's eyes changed. School is about to start, and if his daughter's tuition is not paid on time, she will be expelled from the school without any mercy.
If he wanted to survive in the central city, besides being a natural fighter, he could only rely on studying. However, education was very expensive, so he had to run around and find ways to raise enough money.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, rubbed his face vigorously, stood up and said, "Brother Chen, I did it!"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, you don't have to be like this. I just came to Central City and I'm just here to make some money. But if I do this alone, there will be a lot of trouble to deal with, and I won't be able to accomplish anything."
Lao Qi nodded in understanding and said, "What do you need me to do?"
Chen Chuan passed the suspicious entrustment to Lao Qi through Jieyong, "For this kind of things, I need you to help me check the specific content first."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
An orange light flickered in Lao Qi's eyes. After a moment, he said in surprise, "Brother Chen, so you're asking about commissions for unusual events. But this kind of thing has already been handled by a group of people..."
