After finishing his business, Chen Luo changed his clothes, went downstairs and went straight to the restaurant.
As a childhood friend, Bai Xiaochuan called him, so it was impossible for him not to go. In life, there are always a few friends who care about you, and Bai Xiaochuan is one of them.
The wedding was decorated grandly.
As a well-known entrepreneur, Bai Xiaochuan has the support of his family. If his grandfather had not passed away, Bai Xiaochuan's business would be even bigger. But life is like this a lot of the time, nothing is perfect.
Chen Luo sat in the audience, clapping and blessing with the audience next to him.
He saw Bai Xiaochuan's smile.
I saw the bride's shy face and the emcee's just the right jokes.
After dinner, Chen Luo paid his share of the money, sent a message to Bai Xiaochuan, and then went downstairs. Walking on the street, Chen Luo looked at the pedestrians passing by and the neon lights on both sides of the street, and felt as if he was in another world.
He hasn't been this quiet in a long time.
"What are you thinking about?"
A voice appeared behind him. Following the sound, he saw it was Su Linlin, his classmate who had attended Bai Xiaochuan's wedding with him not long ago.
Under the lights, Su Linlin was wearing a black dress and a white knitted hat. The cold night air made her nose red, and she looked like the heroine in an idol drama. Chen Luo stopped where he was, looking at Su Linlin who was running towards him, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
"There's a lucky draw later. You're going to lose a lot!"
Su Linlin took out a new model of mobile phone and waved it in front of Chen Luo.
This was the gift she won at Bai Xiaochuan's wedding.
"Singles can't stand this kind of scene."
"You said that. I suspect you are hinting at me, but I can't find any evidence."
The two of them were just like many years ago, walking and joking, and time seemed to have returned to college. That day, Bai Xiaochuan also treated them to a meal, and the two of them were deserters. This time was the same, and a strange feeling rose in their hearts.
Early the next morning, Chen Luo received a call from Bai Xiaochuan.
Although we haven't seen each other for many years, our relationship has not become unfamiliar.
Bai Xiaochuan scolded Chen Luo on the phone, criticizing him for leaving early and not being a good brother. He also teased him about his relationship with Su Linlin, and finally showed off his newlywed wife and the child who was about to be born.
This guy got married because he was pregnant, and this style of doing things is consistent with Chen Luo's understanding of him.
"I'll call you again when the baby is born, and I'll invite some old friends."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo picked up the file on the table again. The cult has been very active recently, and there are signs that a storm is about to come.
Two months later.
Major cult case.
When Chen Luo arrived at the scene, many people had already gathered there. Mu Xiaoyu and members of the Night Affairs Bureau cordoned off the scene. A large number of uniformed members of relevant departments blocked the roads in and out. When they saw Chen Luo coming, several of them quickly opened the cordon and invited him in.
"Sacrifice to the evil god, a nightmare has descended."
As soon as she saw Chen Luo, Mu Xiaoyu walked over quickly and whispered in his ear, "Nightmare is a piece of news that must be blocked for ordinary people. Panic is the food of nightmares. Over the years, the upper class of mankind has been blocking the news of nightmares. Although the cult is trying its best to destroy this blockade, overall, the situation is still controllable."
In the middle of the park, a huge fountain with a diameter of ten meters was drawn with blood, with eight sacrificial bone patterns and a large number of mutilated corpses piled in the middle.
Judging from the number, the death toll is at least ten.
"Where is the murderer?"
Chen Luo looked at a tree next to him, and before Mu Xiaoyu could react, she saw Chen Luo suddenly stretch out his hand.
With a dull thud, a translucent monster was pinched by him. The surging force of his fist spread along his five fingers like a tide. With a "puff" sound, the nightmare that had just arrived was crushed into pieces by Chen Luo before it could leave the scene.
"I caught it, but..."
Mu Xiaoyu's expression looked a little unnatural, and she subconsciously glanced at Chen Luo.
"Just say it! Don't learn from Ao Ye."
Chen Luo frowned and retracted his right hand that had crushed the nightmare. For Chen Luo now, the primary nightmare was no different from a weed.
"This person is a little special."
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but remind him. Seeing this, Chen Luo stopped asking questions and simply walked over. He had killed countless cultists over the years, some of whom were well-connected "big shots". He had encountered countless obstacles, but he had never let up.
Stay firm and move forward courageously.
Soon Chen Luo arrived at the core of the blockade, where he heard a familiar voice. This voice made him subconsciously slow down his movements a little. Looking at the murderer being held on the ground by Cheng Yan from the Night Affairs Bureau at the crime scene, Chen Luo felt shaken for the first time.
The murderer kneeling on the ground also saw Chen Luo. He raised his head and revealed that familiar face.
Bai Xiaochuan.
"Chen Luo, save me, I don't know anything!"
Bai Xiaochuan's originally deathly gray eyes suddenly burst into a light of survival when he saw Chen Luo.
"When we came, he was praying his last prayers. A brother saw him killing someone with a knife. The murder weapon is in Xiaoyu's possession and has been handed over to the evidence department for registration." Ao Ye also walked over quickly. As soon as he caught the murderer, he knew that this matter was troublesome.
As Chen Luo's direct subordinate, Ao Ye is very familiar with Chen Luo's network of relationships and also knows Bai Xiaochuan, a famous private entrepreneur in Rongcheng.
"It's not me!"
Bai Xiaochuan covered his forehead with his hands, his face was distorted, and his hands were covered with blood. Not far behind him, a dead woman lay beside him with her eyes open, and the blood in her body had been drained. Chen Luo remembered this woman, she was Bai Xiaochuan's wife.
He still remembered the woman in her wedding dress, with a happy expression on her face, as if it happened yesterday.
"I know nothing, Junru. Junru can testify for me."
Bai Xiaochuan kept mumbling nonsense, not knowing that Jun Ru, whom he was talking about, had been dead for a long time. Chen Luo sensed a strong nightmare aura from him.
"Old Chen, you must help me. I can't die. Junru and the child are still waiting for me to come back."
Sensing Chen Luo approaching, Bai Xiaochuan grabbed his trouser leg. Chen Luo had never seen this expression on Bai Xiaochuan before. The others around him were also silent. They knew the relationship between Chen Luo and Bai Xiaochuan, and they knew the blow to Chen Luo in this situation.
"Next month, next month I will be a father! When the baby is born, I will treat you to a meal. I have even booked the banquet."
When talking about children, Bai Xiaochuan smiled.
But this smile soon changed. Under Chen Luo's gaze, the smile slowly became twisted and hideous. The nightmare aura lurking in him revived little by little, and finally stared straight at Chen Luo and spoke in a strange and gloomy tone.
"Director Chen, how about the gift I prepared?"
A nameless anger rose in Chen Luo's heart, and the murderous intent in his heart reached its limit.
He understood what Taoist Changqing had said before.
The enemies hiding in the dark are the most terrifying. They are like poisonous snakes and will never fight you head-on.
"You claim to be righteous! This guy has sacrificed so many innocent people. How are you going to deal with him? Kill him or not?"
The expression on Bai Xiaochuan's face became more and more distorted, with madness and resentment mixed together, and there was also the pleasure of revenge. This person who attacked from the dark must have had a relative who died at the hands of Chen Luo.
"I can tell you clearly that this kid's family are all God's people, starting from his grandfather's generation. Not only him, but God's glory has long been spread all over the earth. All of you who disobey God will not have a good end."
The expression on Bai Xiaochuan's face became more and more ferocious, and his voice became more and more distorted.
Chen Luo stood in front of him.
Once again, we are at the crossroads of 'choice'.
As the head of the Night Affairs Bureau, even if he let Bai Xiaochuan go, no one would bother him. But in this way, Chen Luo's chosen "road" would be broken, and those hiding in the dark would slowly lead him into the water.
'How to choose?'
Chen Luo raised his head and saw a drizzle starting from the sky without him noticing.
The cold and damp feeling touched my face and went through my nasal cavity into my internal organs.
There is a saying on the path to immortality, called "breaking worldly ties."
For the True Immortal, everything in the world is a fetter. Only by cutting off these fetters can one be free from the constraints of cause and effect and fate. Jumping out of the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements, the cause and effect of the heavens will not affect me.
"Old Chen, the child and Junru are still waiting for me"
Bai Xiaochuan returned to normal. He grabbed Chen Luo's trouser legs and begged bitterly.
Sometimes crazy, sometimes normal.
Looking at Bai Xiaochuan in front of him, Chen Luo had an epiphany. He glanced at the woman behind Bai Xiaochuan, and the innocent people who had died. He suddenly raised his hand. The power of the phantom martial arts gathered in his palm, condensing into a visible aura, and slapped Bai Xiaochuan on the head.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the expression on Bai Xiaochuan's face suddenly stopped.
Ao Ye and several related personnel who were secretly watching from a distance swallowed subconsciously after seeing this scene.
Killed?
This is really cruel!
Even brothers are not spared.
"Deal with the scene."
After making the choice, Chen Luo clearly felt a force, a mysterious force acting on him.
Looking down at the dead Bai Xiaochuan, Chen Luo suddenly lost interest.
Even the feedback from heaven and earth has lost interest.
He had clearly made his choice, but he felt extremely empty inside. He looked around and saw that everyone's eyes had changed when they looked at him. In addition to respect, there was also a hint of fear and alienation.
They were afraid that one day in the future Chen Luo would kill them all.
Stay true to yourself.
It is easier said than done. In this world of mortals, how many people can truly "stick to their original intentions"? Living in this world, everyone is influenced by the people around them.
Chen Luo is no exception.
At this moment Chen Luo remembered what Taoist Changqing had said to him.
First enter the world, then leave it.
Only then can you escape the calamity! (End of this chapter)
