Chapter 38 Who is crazier?
The moonlight was like frost, everything was silent, and there was a chill in the air that made people shiver.
Amidst the solemn atmosphere, a thin black figure jumped out of the blood transport vehicle. He did not leave in a hurry, but leaned against the door and looked carefully. After confirming that everyone nearby had been attracted away by the sudden fire alarm, he trotted under the eaves with a hunched back and hid his body completely in the darkness.
Wang Bo rubbed his chin and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you added something to the blood? It wasn't something spicy, was it?"
Li Xiaogou pursed his lips and uttered a single word: "Chase."
They had done some research before coming. They found out that Mr. Li's name was Li Chenglu, he was in his forties and still unmarried. He had the average height of a male of his age in Daxia, about 1.73 meters tall, and was thin.
However, such an ordinary man escaped at an unusually fast speed.
Li Xiaogou soon found out why Li Chenglu did not react, because he was not in a hurry to suck blood, but directly grabbed a whole bucket of blood and fled the scene.
I don't know whether to say he is greedy or bold.
No matter how fast Li Chenglu ran, he was still holding a bucket of liquid in his arms. Li Xiaogou and the others quickly caught up with him. When they were about fifty meters away, Li Xiaogou once again stopped Wang Bo who wanted to catch him.
Wang Bo was puzzled. "Although I also want to see him make a fool of himself after eating the food, it would be bad if it delayed the mission. Xiao Gou, we need to be more mature."
Being taught "maturity" by Wang Bo was a novel experience. Li Xiaogou calmed down before answering, "Li Chenglu only has one registered property, and it's not in this direction. So where is he going with such a heavy bucket of blood? Or rather, who is he going to find? Aren't you curious?"
"You mean, he has accomplices?"
"Um."
He originally wanted to catch Li Chenglu in the act, so in order to limit his fighting ability, he added some strong laxative to the blood in advance, but Li Chenglu didn't drink it.
However, as luck would have it, Li Chenglu might lead them to their real lair.
"Contact Mo Shang and share your location with him."
Wang Bo did it immediately.
While they were talking, the distance between them and Li Chenglu widened further, but Li Xiaogou was not in a hurry. He just needed to keep Li Chenglu within his sight.
After crossing the entire city, Li Chenglu stopped at a popular check-in spot.
Li Chenglu stopped for a moment, then suddenly rushed into the street full of shops, and then disappeared from the sight of Li Xiaogou and others.
"What's going on?" Wang Bo turned around in place, but still couldn't find Li Chenglu.
At this moment, his phone vibrated. It was a message from Mo Shang: "Underground."
Yunqing City dug many air-raid shelters during the Anti-Japanese War. Now that it is a peaceful and prosperous time, some of these air-raid shelters have been rented out to open hot pot restaurants, some have become must-see tourist spots for internet celebrities, and of course some remain abandoned.
Li Xiaogou immediately understood and said in a deep voice, "He went into an abandoned air-raid shelter!"
The two ran to the place where Li Chenglu disappeared last, and sure enough, they found a row of dark air-raid shelters.
In order to prevent passers-by from accidentally stepping on air and falling, the entrances of these air-raid shelters are covered with something.
"But there are so many, which one did he get into?"
No sound from inside can be heard from outside.
"Wait." Li Xiaogou's tone was still unhurried.
They sat down next to the bronze statue in the hot pot restaurant opposite the air-raid shelter, motionless and soon blended into the night.
As time passed, Wang Bo became increasingly anxious. At this moment, a sneaky shadow emerged from the second air-raid shelter from the right.
Looking closely, I saw a person hunched over and holding his stomach.
The man had a clear goal and ran quickly towards the nearest public toilet.
"Let's go." Li Xiaogou's tone was calm, but his feet were different. He was like a ghost, approaching the person who was suffering from abdominal pain lightly, silently and quickly. Then, when the other person was unaware, he covered the other person's mouth and nose with one hand and knocked the other person unconscious with a knife.
The movements were smooth as if they had been rehearsed countless times.
Wang Bo sighed and said, "He's really not a human being."
Li Xiaogou chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment."
If you want to catch bad guys, you have to be worse than them.
Wang Bo walked in front. He opened the door panel and instantly the strong smell of blood mixed with the night wind rushed towards the two of them.
Li Xiaogou frowned and suppressed the urge to vomit.
There was a panic in the air-raid shelter because of the sudden appearance of Wang Bo and Li Xiaogou, and also because the person who had just drunk Li Xiaogou's blood was now experiencing a churning in his stomach.
Li Xiaogou took a quick look and roughly estimated that there were more than a dozen boys and girls crowded in the air-raid shelter.
Li Chenglu was not among these people.
Li Chenglu stood in front of these people as an absolute protector, looking at Li Xiaogou and Wang Bo vigilantly.
The two of them came straight after school and only had time to change into their combat uniforms, without even removing the camouflage on their faces.
Li Chenglu narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly remembered why these two faces looked so familiar.
"You were the ones who spread the news that Wu Liang was arrested. You also set the fire at the hospital. This was all a setup from the beginning to the end."
Wang Bo sneered, "You're not that stupid. But you're wrong about one thing. We did arrest Wu Liang, and he worked with you. Don't you feel guilty for blaming him like this? He was scared to death when he was arrested, and he never suspected you before. It's really like I wanted to look up to the bright moon, but it only shines on the ditch."
Li Chenglu's lips twitched: "That's not how this sentence is used."
Wang Bo raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "Teacher Li, now is not the time for class. Surrender immediately. We will take these children behind you back and treat them well. They still have a chance of survival."
Li Chenglu's eyes flickered slightly, and his hostility dissipated a lot. However, he still didn't dare to completely trust the two people in front of him. He asked, "Who are you? Why did you discover our presence? And what do you want to do? Only if you tell me clearly can I trust that you won't harm these children."
From a negotiation perspective, this is not an excessive request.
Wang Bo was about to explain when a strong wind suddenly blew past him, and Li Xiaogou shot out like an arrow from a bow. He roared, "Go!"
As Li Xiaogou spoke, he attacked Li Chenglu.
"We can discuss it first." Wang Bo said this, but in action he absolutely cooperated with Li Xiaogou. The two of them formed a pincer attack on Li Chenglu, one on the left and one on the right.
Just when Li Xiaogou's hand was about to reach Li Chenglu, he tapped his toes lightly, turned around, and actually bypassed Li Chenglu. The position changed in an instant. Li Xiaogou's real target was the children behind Li Chenglu!
"Li Chenglu didn't want to talk to you at all. He was just stalling for time so that these kids could sneak out."
There must be a door hidden deep in the darkness of the air-raid shelter. He didn't see anyone open the door, but he was sure that the number of people in the air-raid shelter was decreasing!
"How dare you play tricks on me." Anger made Wang Bo move faster, blocking Li Chenglu's way like a huge mountain.
The boys and girls who had been hiding behind Li Chenglu stopped pretending when they saw Li Xiaogou chasing them, and rushed towards the back door.
Unfortunately, Li Xiaogou was faster than them and subdued the three teenagers in an instant.
The relationship between these teenagers seemed to be very deep. When they saw Li Xiaogou coming at them with great momentum and knocking out three of them in an instant, although they were frightened, they did not flee like birds and beasts. Instead, they slowed down their escape and even tried to rescue their unconscious companions.
Li Xiaogou, who was delivered to the door, would not show mercy. He moved nimbly among the young men, and with a wave of his hand, some of them fainted and fell heavily to the ground.
Li Chenglu roared, "Run!"
The children didn't know this, but they knew that the people chasing them would definitely kill them all, so whoever could run away should be the best.
A hint of hesitation and reluctance flashed in the children's eyes. They didn't want to leave, but they also knew that Teacher Li would not harm them. They turned their heads away, and the boy closest to the door bit his lip, opened the door and went out.
Then came the second, the third...
The only way to prevent them from escaping is to block the door.
Li Xiaogou didn't want to fight any more and ran towards the door at a high speed. During the process, he used his arms to hold the young men who rushed towards him and dragged them all the way. Finally, he threw them hard and all of them hit the wall, knocking off dust.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the door handle, his scalp inexplicably tightened and a strong sense of unease came over him. His beast-like instinct urged him to move aside, thus avoiding the fatal blow.
Li Chenglu's terrifying face with red eyes flashed past him.
He lowered his eyes and saw Wang Bo half-lying on the ground with his arms covered, bright red blood dripping from between his fingers.
Wang Bo was injured.
Li Xiaogou's face darkened.
Li Chenglu's current condition is very similar to Que Song's, no, stronger than Que Song's, because Li Chenglu is awake and he can control his behavior and extraordinary power.
"Wang Bo!" Li Xiaogou shouted loudly.
Wang Bo bit his back teeth and forced a smile: "No problem."
He endured the severe pain in his arm and used his special power, and terror descended upon this narrow space.
Almost at the same time, Li Chenglu's attack speed slowed down.
His eyes were dazed for a moment, as if he had seen something unbelievable, and he murmured, "No, no."
This is the fear that is trapped in the heart.
Li Xiaogou seized the opportunity and rushed forward. He pulled out handcuffs and quickly put them on Li Chenglu's right hand.
Handcuffs made of special materials can restrict superpowers.
Just as he was about to continue handcuffing Li Chenglu's left hand, Wang Bo groaned and fainted from exhaustion.
Li Chenglu's figure shook, the fear in his eyes faded away, and turned red again.
At this moment, his strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person, and Li Xiaogou was very close to him. This close-range punch hit him hard, and he flew out, hitting his back against the wall, and immediately he spit out a mouthful of blood mist.
Li Chenglu picked up several people who had fainted on the ground and ran towards the back door. The corners of Li Xiaogou's lips were stained red with blood. Under the violent collision, every part of his body seemed to be falling apart. He used the rebound force to pounce straight on Li Chenglu's back and wrapped his hands around his waist.
Li Chenglu threw the teenagers to the door. When his red eyes met Li Xiaogou's black eyes, he was stunned. He was frightened by the madness in the eyes of the man who was holding him.
Fear was followed by rage.
He lowered his head and bit Li Xiaogou's neck.
But the madman Li Xiaogou still didn't let go. Even though his skin was pierced and blood was rapidly flowing out of his body, he still held Li Chenglu tightly and fiercely.
"Are all young people working so hard nowadays?"
Suddenly, a sudden voice appeared in the air-raid shelter, speaking slowly and with a condescending tone.
Li Xiaogou no longer had the strength to even lift his eyelids, but he refused to let go even if he died, relying on his determination to die together with his partner.
Just as the sound was rang out, Li Chenglu's canine teeth finally let go of his neck, and his whole body was pressed tightly to the ground as if by an invisible big hand.
Li Chenglu didn't struggle at all, and the force pressing down on him became even stronger.
Li Xiaogou heard a low, crisp sound of shattering. He looked back in surprise. Li Chenglu, with red eyes, gradually stopped struggling. His eyes were wide open, and he still didn't understand what had happened until his death.
