"This is it!"
The group of ten stopped and looked at the brightly lit but clearly shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere in Mulin Village.
“There will be a gathering in the underworld tonight. If my intelligence is correct, this gathering is part of those forces’ plans to assassinate civilians!” Liang Yuquan said.
"These scumbags really treat their own kind like pigs, arbitrarily assigning targets for slaughter like this!" Leng Yue said coldly.
"That's human nature. Once someone starts crossing the line, that line becomes meaningless, just something that various forces can trample on at will!" Liang Yuquan has encountered a lot of the dark side, so he's used to it.
After thinking it over, Jiang Yuan said, "The target this time is too broad, and those assassins are all masked, making it difficult to determine their identities. So, under the premise of not killing the innocent and not letting the guilty go free, this gathering is our best breakthrough!"
"Yes, in order to efficiently assassinate civilians and avoid fighting among Spirit Awakeners, they will definitely designate areas for slaughter. Once we get this list, all the forces involved in the massacre of civilians will be exposed, and that will be the start of our cleanup!"
Liang Yuquan nodded and continued, "Moreover, even without the list, we can almost wipe them all out by killing everyone who attended the gathering! It's just that having the list would be safer!"
"Yuquan, you've had more experience with this, so you should make the plan!" Jiang Yuan wasn't sure about this kind of thing either, so he left the difficult task to Liang Yuquan.
"Simple. Yesterday, when Baldy and I were gathering information, we discovered a group that was assassinating civilians. Baldy and I took care of them! So, one of our teams will impersonate this group, while the other team will form a new team and declare that they want to participate in the plan to assassinate civilians and join the gathering. One team will be in the open and the other in the shadows. Both sides will surely gain something!"
Liang Yuquan took out two recording stones, activated them, and introduced them to everyone: "These are the two people, a man and a woman. They are the infamous Black and White Duo of Mulin Village, who have killed countless people. There are at least tens of thousands of innocent souls on their hands. The only problem now is how to impersonate them!"
"Aren't these two hiding their identities?" Jiang Yuan asked.
“No!” Liang Yuquan shook his head and continued, “These two are notorious in Mulin Village; they don’t hide their actions!”
"I can disguise myself!" Jiang Yuan said. Disguise is simply changing facial muscles, and since his physical body has reached the point where he can change at will, disguising himself is a piece of cake.
"What a coincidence, I can do that too!" Ning Yanlan said, feigning surprise.
Jiang Yuan was not surprised at all. Ning Yanlan's identity was a mystery to begin with, so he wouldn't be surprised if she claimed to be the current sage.
"Forehead!"
After a moment of silence, Liang Yuquan suggested, "Why don't you two pretend to be the Black and White Duo, and we'll wear masks and attend this party as strangers!"
"Honey, I think it's great!" Ning Yanlan looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile.
Of all those present, only Liu Zhaodi looked unhappy. She had come here to be with Jiang Yuan, but they were about to part ways before they even started. How could she not be upset?
"That's it!" Jiang Yuan had an urge to cover Ning Yanlan's mouth. This woman pretended to be well-behaved in front of others but was a real pain in the neck behind their backs. She was truly disgusting.
"Okay, let's discuss the plan first!"
...
"Jiang Yuan, it's just ahead, isn't it?" Ning Yanlan asked, pointing to a hidden underground entrance.
Jiang Yuan sneered and said, "Why have you changed your tune? Weren't you just calling me 'husband'?"
“I can tell you’re not happy about it, so I’ll just not call you that! Anyway, if I change my address now, I’ll have to change it again in a few days. I don’t want to become a widow! Right, Jiang Yuan?” Ning Yanlan emphasized Jiang Yuan’s name.
Jiang Yuan stared coldly at her, then reached into Ning Yanlan's robe, rummaged around for a moment, and teased, "You really changed your clothes! What, didn't you like wearing less? Why did you change again!"
"Get your paws off me!" Ning Yanlan snapped and dodged away.
"I'm warning you, don't mess this up. I can't joke with the lives of my brothers!" Jiang Yuan's feelings for Xiao Pang and the others were genuine. He had even decided on their fate before he was about to become a battle spirit. He was going to send them away.
Ning Yanlan is willing to die with him, but Xiao Pang and the others are not!
"Don't worry, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you!" Ning Yanlan said softly. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think she was very good to Jiang Yuan.
"To be honest, your face matches you perfectly; you're just as cunning!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuan put his arm around Ning Yanlan and walked into the underground entrance.
The gathering took place in an underground casino, which had always been a melting pot of all sorts of people from all walks of life in the South City who frequented the underworld. After the cataclysm, it became an even more popular gathering place for all sorts of people, where shady dealings such as murder, arson, rape, and kidnapping were carried out.
Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan play two such characters. Before the Black and White Duo's catastrophe, they were a couple who had committed crimes. After the catastrophe, their former nature became more active, and within just a few days, they seized the opportunity of spiritual awakening and became notorious villains in the underworld.
If they hadn't run into Liang Yuquan and Baldy this time, they definitely wouldn't have perished.
"Gentlemen, please show your admission invitations!"
Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan, who had disguised themselves, were stopped by two men in suits.
Just as Jiang Yuan was trying to deceive her, Ning Yanlan raised her hand and slapped the man in the suit next to her across the face. After slapping him, she calmly said, "What did you say you wanted? I didn't hear you clearly!"
"Entry..."
The man in the suit was about to speak when Ning Yanlan slapped him across the face again.
