Chapter 31 Chapter 31 The Evil God's Balance
Cao Xun welcomed Chi Shuangliu to his private villa and respectfully laid out the information and photos. "This is the information on other descendants of the Chi family. These people have Chi blood flowing through their veins, and they should be able to help you find the secret to unlocking the restriction."
He reminded her again, "Chen Run was recruited by Lu Kuo after all, so she's not very reliable. While Lu Kuo is away, if you need anything, I can find a way to terminate her contract and let her go."
Chi Shuangliu remained silent.
He tried every trick in the book on Shen Run, hoping to use the Chi bloodline in her to help him find a way to break the restriction, but there hasn't been much progress in recent days. Cao Xun also happened to provide information about other members of the Chi clan at this time. Perhaps he should really consider giving up on Shen Run and severing all causal ties with her.
Seeing he remained silent, Cao Xun pulled out a few more photos. "I made a special trip to Shuangliu County a few days ago. These are photos of the Witch Temple where you were originally sealed. All these years have passed, and the Witch Temple has been buried in the mountains. I could only capture a corner of it with my drone..."
"There's another coincidence," he hesitated, then continued, "I also found out something when I went to Shuangliu County. Chen Run's grandmother was from Shuangliu County, and Chen Run even lived there for a few years when he was a child..."
He took out a few photos of Shen Run when she was a child. The little girl in the photos was wearing old clothes that didn't fit her well, but she had a beautiful and round face and was taller than her peers. She was obviously a beauty at first glance.
Chi Shuangliu's gaze fell on the photo, and his originally calm expression suddenly changed.
——It’s amazing that he actually saw Chen Run when he was a child.
Because of the seal that had lasted for tens of millions of years, his spirit body had become very weak and his consciousness was sometimes in and sometimes out before the witch temple was smashed open by the meteorite. But he suddenly remembered that in his chaotic memory, there had been such a little girl.
He used some tricks to lure her to the abandoned witch temple. She worshipped him as an ordinary god, cleaned the statue and the temple, offered him the freshest fruits, made the most beautiful wreath and put it on his head, and solemnly agreed with him to come and see him in a few days. He was really happy during those two days. No living person had entered the witch temple for a hundred years. He didn't want to do anything, he just wanted a living creature to come in and keep him company.
——But she never appeared again.
He waited and waited, until the fresh fruits and vegetables were covered with flies and insects, the wreaths withered and turned into mud, until he fell into a deep sleep again, until the little girl from that year grew up, but the promise was still not fulfilled.
Chi Shuangliu withdrew his gaze, and there was no extra expression on his face. The originally fluctuating balance instantly tilted to one side.
As the evil god's most devout believer, Cao Xun spoke at the right moment: "My adoptive father has taken my brother to the United States. They are both very powerful, and I'm afraid they're going to make some big moves. Would you like to come with me to the United States to take charge..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the left pocket of Chi Shuangliu's cheap shirt suddenly vibrate. Chi Shuangliu was a little surprised and took out a second-hand fake fruit machine with dual SIM cards and dual standby from his pocket.
Cao Xun: "..." He knew without asking who gave him these cheap rags. I'm sorry for putting you in such a bad mood.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. Chi Shuangliu didn't hesitate and picked up the phone. A solemn female voice came from the receiver: "Hello, is this Chen Run's family member? This is the emergency contact number she left."
Chi Shuangliu paused for a moment before he nodded.
"We are from the XXXX Public Security Bureau. We are obligated to inform you that Chen Run has been missing for nearly 24 hours. She is very likely involved in a widespread international kidnapping case. But rest assured, we have dispatched professionals to conduct search and rescue operations. We may need your cooperation during this period. Please make sure to keep your phone open. Thank you!"
......
'Third Brother' didn't take Chen Run and Mo Tao seriously. He reached out to pinch her chin, but Chen Run lowered her head and hit him in the stomach with a headbutt, knocking him back a few steps.
'Third Brother' was surprised and said in amazement: "I underestimated you. You have a very bad temper."
He didn't waste time talking to Chen Run. A little electric light emerged from his fingertips, which directly shocked her unconscious. Then he ordered his men: "Watch her carefully. If she is not killed by tonight, send her to my room."
He brushed his collar and smiled, "I'll 'personally' enlighten her."
The subordinate hesitated. "You know, China's patrols are very powerful, and the management of people with special abilities is also very strict. Do we really want to kidnap the citizens here and take them to Happy Island?"
'Third Brother' sneered: "Don't forget who we are. I won't do anything that is not illegal." He took two steps to Shunzi and slapped him twice on the face. Although the blows were not heavy, they were full of insult.
"Go back and tell your boss that from now on, if I don't agree, he won't be able to take any private work in his life. Either give up the power or just stay here and waste time."
He laughed a few times and signaled for people to drag Chen Run and Mo Tao out of the car and stuff them into the business car.
......
When Chen Run woke up again, the sky was still dark. Her nose was filled with the salty smell of the ocean, and she could faintly hear the sound of waves in the distance.
Her consciousness was blurry for a moment, then she suddenly opened her eyes and recalled everything that had happened today. It took her another half a minute to digest the fact that there were supernatural powers in this world - and she had been kidnapped by a dark and evil force with supernatural powers. How could an ordinary person survive this? She closed her eyes and waited for death.
No, no, although Shen Run is not the type with quick reactions, she has always seen things clearly, and this comes in handy now.
Shunzi, the man who hypnotized her earlier, seemed to be very afraid of her calling the police. What does this indicate? It indicates that they are still afraid of official power, and that the authorities have strong control over these people with supernatural powers.
In other words, as long as she can escape and call the police, she can be rescued successfully!
After figuring this out, Shen Run suddenly became excited. She opened her eyes slightly and looked around quickly.
She found herself locked in a room. Because the room was too small, she even felt a little short of breath. She moved her body slightly and found Mo Tao lying quietly at her feet. She breathed a sigh of relief silently.
There was no light in the room, not even a lamp, except for a small halo of light coming through a square window high up.
Chen Run's heart moved, and he tried to get up again, but he found that he was not tied up anymore - but it was understandable. These evil forces all had super powers, so they didn't need a rope.
She arched her back and tiptoed as close to the window as possible. She stood on tiptoe and peeked out, and saw two people guarding the door. Both of them were mixed-race from Southeast Asia, short in stature with high cheekbones. They were wearing the same uniform and had a peculiarly shaped silver-gray weapon on their waists.
Before she had time to look outside, her attention was attracted by the conversation between the two people.
"...Are the two people locked up in the room really from China? This seems to be the first time Chinese people have arrived on the island, right? Brother San, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
"We've already reached the island. Can the patrol team still chase us to the high seas?"
"That's true. You know what? It's because China has strict regulations that Chinese goods are sold at sky-high prices. There haven't even been any purebreds at this auction. Third brother is really capable."
"I've seen one of the ones locked up in the room. It's in exceptional condition. I think it'll break the record tonight. I'm betting on Earl G to win it. This old guy has always had a 'China fetish'."
"Then I'll bet on Mr. Roger. He set the previous auction record. It's said he doesn't come from one of those famous, old-money families, but rather a newly wealthy upstart who's only become wealthy within the past two generations. He's eager to show off his wealth."
The two of them laughed obscenely as they talked. The language they used was a mixture of Chinese and English, and their speaking speed was very fast. Fortunately, Shen Run passed the Level 6 exam and could barely understand about 60% to 70% of what they said. After listening to it, her face changed.
If she heard correctly, what these people were auctioning off was... people.
As a young person who received socialist education since childhood, her mind suddenly went blank, her stomach tightened, and she even felt like vomiting because of excessive tension and disgust.
"Shh, don't talk, the auction is about to begin."
Chen Run managed to calm himself down and looked down in the direction the two men were pointing. It seemed to be a castle or a huge villa. The hanging crystal branch lamps alone were as high as two stories, illuminating the entire place with incomparable brilliance.
There were already twenty or thirty people standing in the hall, both men and women. Their clothes and jewelry were either limited editions from major luxury brands or custom-made by some famous designers. They were all well-dressed and elegant, and each of them wore a feather mask of different styles on their face, covering their eyebrows and eyes, leaving only the lower half of their face exposed. Almost all of them were foreigners.
A seafood buffet and high-end drinks were also prepared in the center of the hall. These people held champagne and chatted from time to time with elegant and graceful movements. It looked like an ordinary celebrity gathering.
Suddenly, melodious music sounded, and all the guests present stopped what they were doing and looked in a certain direction.
The heavy wooden door was slowly opened, and several strong psychics came in pulling a glass cover on wheels. The glass cover was as big as a small house, and inside it were four white teenagers, two boys and two girls, all of whom had outstanding looks.
The four children were probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. They were so scared that they were crying and kept hitting the transparent glass cover.
Their panic-stricken behavior actually attracted the attention of the guests in the hall. Twenty or thirty people came forward and pointed at the glass cover as if it were some kind of commodity.
——The first person to be photographed was a white boy with delicate appearance. The person who took the photo was a middle-aged white man with a big belly and wearing a robe. Judging from his clothes and appearance, he seemed to have religious characteristics.
He hugged the little boy and kissed and caressed him without any hesitation.
His action seemed to stimulate everyone present. These distinguished guests took off their gorgeous outer clothes, revealing the dirty and bloody beasts inside, and approached the glass cover almost greedily, in this way stimulating the prey in the cage.
The only three teenagers left in the glass cover began to tremble and hugged each other in panic.
The two psychics standing outside the door started a new round of conversation.
"When will it be the turn of those two in the room?"
"What's the rush? The good stuff has to be the last to be shown. Third Brother is counting on them to make a lot of money, hahahaha."
