Chapter 60: If You Become Rich, Don't Forget Me
The man in front of the surveillance screen didn't act immediately. He looked at his boss in surprise and warned, "Just put it all in like that?"
"Yeah." Li Xiaogou nodded, appearing extremely confident.
He glared at the man out of the corner of his eye, "Are you going to disobey orders?"
The man immediately lowered his eyes and activated his supernatural powers.
A magical scene appeared in the surveillance video. All the rooms were like building blocks that were being disassembled and reassembled, constantly changing. After a moment, behind the door was no longer a corridor, but a huge living room.
There are three rooms on each side of the living room that can be used for ambushes.
If even such a structure is to be prevented, men will become suspicious.
Li Xiaogou dared to come over because he saw the man's loyalty to He Si.
The man who controls the house is named Xu Lifu. He was an alumnus of the same school as Anna. He came from a poor family and was often looked down upon and bullied at school. After discovering that he had special abilities, he told his relatives and was almost sent to a mental hospital. It was He Si who was on an undercover mission at the time who saved him. Since then, he has been with He Si.
Xu Lifu did not support the organization's beliefs, he only carried out He Si's orders unconditionally.
Li Xiaogou was able to pretend to be He Si, but he didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements. Who knew if Xu Lifu would figure out that he was a fake from the details.
While thinking about what to do next, Li Xiaogou suddenly glanced at a corridor in the upper right corner of the surveillance camera and saw He Si leading his subordinates walking out.
The original location of He Temple could not be captured by surveillance cameras, but now under his command, the original layout has been changed, so that He Temple may be seen at any time!
I can only take the last step.
With his hands behind his back, five extremely thin silver threads emerged from the fingertips of his five fingers.
"Turn this hall into a secret room with no exit."
He gave a very reasonable instruction, and the man really lowered his head, right now!
The hand hidden behind her back swung directly towards the man's neck—
Just when the blow was about to touch the man's skin, the man raised his arm to block Li Xiaogou's sudden attack.
"He Si never asks for my opinion when he talks to me." The man said calmly, smashing all the surveillance screens with a punch. "From now on, you will never see their whereabouts again."
As he spoke, the man rushed towards him.
Xu Lifu is not a melee type of psychic, but He Si was kind to him and gave him a lot of weapons. He raised his hand and a whip appeared in his hand.
I don't know what material the whip was made of, but when it was swung on the concrete floor, a dent immediately appeared on the ground.
If such force were to fall on a person, the bones would probably break immediately.
"A camouflaged psychic? How long have you been lurking in the base? Until I got here, it means you were there when He Si arranged the personnel."
The whips intertwined into a dense net and fell towards Li Xiaogou's head. At the same time, Xu Lifu was still deducing Li Xiaogou's origins.
Apart from Yunlou and the white coat, this was the first time that Li Xiaogou felt like he was being seen through.
This Xu Lifu is not simple!
The other party seemed to be guessing his identity, but in fact, they were stalling for time. Now that there was no surveillance, he could not see the situation outside, but the other party could continue to change the external position with his supernatural power.
What Xu Lifu wanted was not to catch him immediately, but to catch all his teammates in one fell swoop!
"Disguise-type psychic, let me see what else you can do after removing your disguise!"
Xu Lifu swung the whip in his hand more and more frantically, leaving countless afterimages in the air. Li Xiaogou was about to be hit by the whip. He stepped on the wall to gain leverage to avoid it, but at this moment, the wall under his feet actually caved in!
It is Xu Lifu's special ability.
The entire interior of the room turned into a huge stomach bag, covered with disgusting mucus. If you pressed your hand on it, you would be burned immediately.
Li Xiaogou had no time to react to the sudden change and could only use his arm to block the whip.
Severe pain spread from the arm bone, as if someone had drilled into the bone with an electric drill.
He fell from mid-air and landed heavily on the ground. The skin on the back of his neck was burned and he seemed to smell a burnt smell at the tip of his nose.
In the dim light, he heard footsteps approaching from afar.
"Li Xiaogou?"
His head was moved, his deformer was searched, and his true face was revealed.
"The organization values him so much, I thought he would be so powerful, but he's nothing more than this."
He heard Xu Lifu muttering in a very angry tone.
Just as the voice faded away again, he opened his eyes, his palms endured the burning pain, and his body suddenly shot out like a fully drawn bow.
By the time Xu Lifu noticed the movement behind him, it was too late. He could only watch Li Xiaogou's cold eyes flying towards him until a punch as heavy as a mountain hit him.
"you--"
He couldn't say anything else because he had fainted.
Li Xiaogou stood firm and gasped heavily.
He used Wang Zheng's special ability, and this attack consumed all his strength.
After tying the man up, gaging him, and retrieving the Transformer, he sat down to rest, his mind racing over the situation of the entire building.
Xu Lifu's ability is very interesting. Among all the abilities Li Xiaogou has seen so far, it is the most similar to his evolution method.
At the beginning, Xu Lifu's ability was only to peer inside buildings. He could instantly understand the internal structure of a building with just one glance, but he could not change it.
The opportunity for his evolution was also very subtle. One day after school, he accidentally discovered that his father was having an affair with the aunt next door. The anger in his heart broke through the threshold, and he kept thinking, "I wish the house would collapse and kill them." Then the house really collapsed.
But in the end, only the neighbor aunt was crushed to death, and his father was alive and well.
He is also a hypocritical lord.
Even though the yellow-haired man knew about this past, he still recruited Xu Lifu. No wonder the boss left the yellow-haired man to them. The yellow-haired man did all these things secretly, but I'm afraid the boss knew everything.
The surveillance was destroyed and there was no point in staying here any longer. Looking down at Xu Lifu who was unconscious, Li Xiaogou suddenly had an idea.
He changed Xu Lifu into his appearance, and then he changed into Xu Lifu's appearance, and then carried Xu Lifu to the puppeteer's room.
Xu Lifu did not wake up along the way, nor did he meet other people in the base, but he heard the sound of fighting from afar.
Finally arriving outside the puppeteer's room, he pushed the door open when the sharp metal frame almost pierced his forehead.
He raised his hand and said, "You really make the most of everything. You can even use the clothes drying rack in a new way."
Anna frowned: “You are not Xu Lifu.”
Only then did she see "Li Xiaogou" lying on the ground and instantly understood.
"This is Xu Lifu."
"Yeah. Let's go in first."
"Do you think I'm your follower? You broke your promise." The metal frame was less than 1 centimeter away from his eyeballs.
Li Xiaogou: "...why don't you go in and beat me up again?"
Anna was silent for a long time before letting him into the room.
Considering He Si's thoughts about Anna, this is the safest place at the moment.
The two men stood face to face, with a huge chasm between them.
Li Xiaogou explained his purpose: "The Special Investigation Bureau has arrived. Your boss deliberately left He Si here to kill someone with a borrowed knife. This person discovered my identity. He has some special abilities, so I had no choice but to bring him to you."
Anna couldn't use her superpowers in the room, so she moved aside, and Li Xiaogou quickly threw Xu Lifu into the cabinet.
"I was called away by your boss just now, so I didn't have time to look for you."
"He invited you to join?"
Li Xiaogou: "Guess."
Anna sneered, "I can guess Sima Zhao's intentions even without you saying them. This isn't the first time he's used the tactic of borrowing a knife to kill someone. By asking me to hunt you down, isn't he also trying to use you to get rid of me?"
"Since you look down on each other so much, why not tell me about your boss's situation? I don't mind being the knife that kills him."
Anna's smile widened. "I'd love to tell you, but there's someone in the organization whose special ability is to place restrictions. We were placed under restrictions on the first day we joined. If I reveal any information about that person, I'll be killed immediately."
"It really fits the character setting of the Demon Cult."
"Demon Cult?"
Li Xiaogou waved his hand: "The villain in the novel."
"I'm going to meet up with the people from the bureau soon. What are you going to do next?"
"Of course I'm running away."
"Why don't you help me catch He Si together?"
Anna was stunned, then she snapped out of it and pointed at Li Xiaogou and laughed, "Are you mistaken? It's true that I hate He Si, but that doesn't mean I like you guys."
"I'm not killing you now because I want you to deal with He Si, not to keep you here to do whatever you want."
Li Xiaogou sighed, wondering who was being so sentimental.
He patiently explained, "Once we capture He Si, he'll undoubtedly know you betrayed him. By then, a part of your soul will remain with the Special Investigation Bureau forever. Why don't you help us catch him? I've seen your cases. The men you victimized weren't clean before, so it's not impossible to make amends. Besides... there are so many capable people in the Special Investigation Bureau. Perhaps the restrictions on you can be lifted? The boss has already decided to kill you. Are you confident in leaving your life in his hands?"
The puppeteer was silent for a long time, but Li Xiaogou did not urge him. He knew that the puppeteer would definitely agree.
"Okay. But I have a condition."
Li Xiaogou raised his eyebrows: "You should know that I am just an employee."
Anna was choked for a moment, and said unhappily: "I also know that Yunlou values you very much. Don't worry, I won't make any excessive demands. I'm sure you can do it."
"Please go ahead."
"He Si can switch souls at will, so it's impossible for you to catch him on your own. He Si trusts me, and I can seal his supernatural powers. Then you can catch him without any risk. In return, after you catch him, you must make him return all my soul to me."
"No more?"
"No more." Anna snorted coldly, "I do want freedom, but a little worker like you can't give me that."
Li Xiaogou smiled, forming a sweet dimple, looking harmless like an animal.
"Then let's go."
Xu Lifu was very strong. He managed to block the Special Investigation Bureau people in the hall just before he fainted.
The people in the organization were divided into six rooms, forming a siege on them.
When Li Xiaogou and Anna arrived, the fierce battle was still going on.
"Everyone stop and put down your weapons, or I will kill him."
The sharp spike finally hit Li Xiaogou's neck. Anna strangled him with one hand and slowly walked into everyone's sight.
A flash of surprise passed through He Si's eyes, but he quickly hid it.
He waved his hand, and his men temporarily stopped attacking.
Although the organization had the advantage of terrain, the Special Investigation Bureau sent elite soldiers, especially Wang Zheng, who could knock down half of the wall with one punch when he was fully charged. If he punched twice more, the terrain here would not be able to stop the Special Investigation Bureau's people.
It was indeed a good time for Anna to appear with Li Xiaogou.
Jiang Mu and Wang Bo were also among this group of people. Li Xiaogou was slightly happy when he saw Jiang Mu.
"Let them lay down their weapons and pretend to surrender. I have a way."
He repeated this sentence over and over in his mind, his eyes fixed on Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu nodded slowly, took two steps back silently, and whispered something in the ear of Yun Lou who was at the back.
The Special Investigation Bureau personnel laid down their weapons as ordered.
Anna breathed a sigh of relief, and while maintaining a posture ready to take Li Xiaogou's life at any time, she retreated towards He Si.
He Si stared at Anna motionlessly, his eyes almost glued to her, but he did not take the initiative to approach her.
He Si knew very well what Anna's attitude towards him was. The sudden change in attitude required a reasonable reason.
"Boss wants to get rid of both of us. The person you saw in his room wasn't me. It was Li Xiaogou pretending to be me. He knows the little tricks you did behind his back, and he also knows that I didn't join you sincerely."
He Si was stunned, a storm brewing in his dark eyes.
"With him as a hostage, let's evacuate here immediately." Anna said quickly, "We'll settle our scores later. While we're waiting, we should protect our lives first."
He Si, who had been silent all this time, finally took action. He grabbed Anna's wrist, pried her hand apart, and whispered in her ear, "Leave it to me. I don't like seeing you hugging other men."
Anna glared at He Si angrily, her cheeks flushed, but she really let go of Li Xiaogou and let He Si drag him over.
At this moment, Li Xiaogou suddenly moved.
He had been accumulating strength all the way and was so close to the target. Even though his strength was not as strong as Wang Zheng himself, he could still knock He Si into a shrimp with one punch.
He Si lowered his eyes in disbelief and looked at Li Xiaogou's fist, only then he realized that the handcuffs that were supposed to restrict Li Xiaogou from using his supernatural powers were just a feint.
He looked up in surprise, but Anna was nowhere to be seen.
Anna had already flashed behind him. She formed her five fingers into claws and clenched them hard, and He Si turned from a shrimp into a squirrel mandarin fish with its back opened, with its belly sticking out and its limbs bent in the other direction.
Click.
The handcuffs that restricted his superpowers were handcuffed to He Si's wrists.
"Why...why are you doing this to me?"
Anna sneered: "Pervert, go to hell."
The incident happened so quickly, everything happened in a moment.
Li Xiaogou reacted faster and jumped back to the Special Investigation Bureau's camp.
The captain was arrested, and the rest of the people were soon arrested as well.
During this trip, one person from the Special Investigation Bureau was seriously injured, five were slightly injured, three members of the organization were seriously injured, and twelve people were captured, including two captain-level figures of the organization.
After returning to the Special Investigation Bureau, Li Xiaogou was immediately arranged to the highest-level ward for treatment.
That night, Wang Bo and Jiang Mu sneaked into the ward. Wang Bo smiled slyly and said, "Xiao Gou, don't forget me when you become rich and powerful."
Li Xiaogou: “?”
"Why are you playing dumb? Didn't Captain Yun tell you? The director wants to promote you to deputy captain!"
Li Xiaogou looked at Jiang Mu in shock.
Jiang Mu smiled and nodded: "It's true."
Li Xiaogou:!!!
Vice Captain, doesn't that mean he'll soon have access to the Information Department?!
