Zheng Zitao was hung on a towering tree, with vines connecting him to a thin branch.

The wind was strong at night, and every time the wind blew, the branches would shake a few times as if they could not bear the weight.

Below him, the giant Venus flytrap had opened its shiny, shell-like leaves, eagerly waiting for food to fall into its mouth.

Because we waited too long, enough mucus had been secreted into the leaves, and the fine teeth were covered with remnants of human tissue.

Compared with direct killing, this kind of mental torture is more tormenting to the heart.

He was being guarded by these flytraps that had no eyes or extra expressions, but whose stems and leaves showed their greed. The branches above his head were bending downwards, and it was estimated that they would soon be unable to bear his weight...

At this point, Zheng Zitao finally felt afraid.

His body shook uncontrollably, and the sickness and madness on his face faded away.

He was about to say something harsh, but when he saw the snow-white figure, he felt the urge to urinate all over his body, and his eyes were completely filled with fear. "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I was also forced to join the Lotus Tower. If I didn't join them, they would kill me. I can tell you anything... I'm also Chinese!"

His voice was hoarse from begging for mercy and cold sweat soaked his back.

Below, the gargoyle stared at the cards in front of him seriously, and after a long time, he played a card. Jiang Ji immediately said, "Win!"

The gargoyle finally turned around and gave him a look, "You're so noisy. It gives me a headache and makes me lose all the time."

Zheng Zitao was stunned. You are not only a bad player, but you also keep feeding cards to others, and you blame me?

Xie Yu sat on the other side, the flawless smile on her face almost cracked several times, as if she had experienced bullying at a card game. She watched helplessly as Jiang Ji pushed down the cards, and her bad hand was fed to her one by one by Ji Qing and the gargoyle.

It was as if all the winning moves tonight were secretly priced.

He was smart and learned things quickly. He had played cards several times before, but never like today, where he was like a puppet at the mercy of others.

Who should be blamed? It can't be Ji Qing, right? Xie Yu can only blame it on the fact that the bad luck of Canbai still hangs over him.

After today, he doesn't want to get involved in mahjong for any time.

Jiang Ji was very curious: "If you are caught, shouldn't you commit suicide by taking poison immediately? Why are you begging for mercy?"

Zheng Zitao no longer had that ordinary young face, and revealed his true appearance, a man in his thirties with a sinister face that matched the ordinary people's imagination of a serious criminal. It was frightening to see him on the street.

Although he hated Jiang Ji in his heart, his life was in the hands of others at the moment, and the dozen or so Venus flytraps below were watching him covetously, so he dared not not answer: "You didn't kill me immediately, which proves that I am still useful. If I can live, of course I still want to live..."

Although he had presided over many bad things in the Lotus Tower, times were different now. No matter which country it was, it was difficult to reject a person with extremely high abilities. He firmly believed that to the Chinese officials, his abilities were far more useful when he was alive than when he was dead.

Jiang Ji looked at Ji Qing across from him again: "What are you going to do with this person?"

"What can I do? I'll send it to your bureau at daybreak." The gargoyle stared at the cards in front of him the whole time. "You really don't know anything."

"Do you think there is only one C-level cursed item in this transaction?" Ji Qing played a card casually.

"This deal is just a bait. Lianta has caused several vicious incidents in the country before. The Investigation Bureau cannot tolerate Lianta continuing to grow and develop in this land, so it offered a good bargaining chip..."

"The Night Watch provided the strongholds of the Lotus Tower in the country. Tonight's transaction attracted the attention of other forces. They took the opportunity to clear out the strongholds of the Lotus Tower in the capital and various provinces and cities."

"So what's the stakes?"

Jiang Ji asked casually, without expecting the other party to answer.

"Of all the assets seized tonight, the Night Watch will take half without any conditions."

Ji Qing took a puff of his mint cigarette and pushed the whole deck of cards onto the table. "Win."

Xie Yu participated in tonight's mission, but it was the first time he heard about this matter. He was secretly surprised by the official's generosity.

Although Lian Tower is headquartered overseas, it has been deeply rooted in China for many years and can be said to have a strong financial foundation. Several internationally famous cursed objects have been sent to the country.

Only three people were dispatched from the Night Watch tonight, and the rest of the work was secretly carried out by the authorities... They actually divided it in half so readily.

Obviously, the authorities are also making every effort to send friendly signals to them.

The first ray of sunlight shone down, dispelling the thick fog in the forest.

"It's time to go." The gargoyle raised his head. The grass on the back of his hand and neck quickly turned gray and decayed after being exposed to the sun. He stretched out his hand to feel the warm sun, with a little more envy in his eyes. He looked at them calmly, "See you next time."

Crash...

The gracefully swaying plants collapsed one after another like dominoes, and the air was filled with smoke and dust.

After a moment, the place returned to its original overgrown weeds, and last night's feast seemed like an illusory bubble.

And where the gargoyle was, there was only a dirty straw-headed doll left.

The difference is that the grass-head doll has lush green grass growing on its head. This is a kind of grass that grows in the cracks of rocks.

"Is your shoulder really okay?" Jiang Ji looked at his bloody wound and asked casually with concern.

Xie Yu was stunned, shook her head, and smiled: "It's okay."

He used a disguise cream, so Jiang Ji couldn't recognize him, but he knew Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji had appeared in the admissions brochure of Tonghua University a long time ago. Jie Yu had heard from his roommate that a certain celebrity in the school confessed his love to her, but she rejected him. Later, there were always some bad rumors about her in the school.

He met Jiang Ji several times at school, and he was always alone, as if he had no close friends.

They had a brief encounter in the fourth cafeteria, and the kitchen knife thrown by the other party just happened to kill Lin Yao's boyfriend.

However, after that strange story, the two of them took different paths.

Maybe we will go our separate ways, or maybe we will end up together.

"You can leave now." Ji Qing said.

Xie Yu nodded lightly. The mission was not yet completed, and they still had to hand over to the Investigation Bureau, so they did not use the teleportation ticket to go back. Instead, they walked out of the woods together. Xie Yu pulled Zheng Zitao, who was tied up, and Jiang Ji followed behind them.

Walking out of the woods, they saw a familiar green figure from afar, wandering around in the woods like a headless fly.
