Chapter 032 The Four

It was a nice day today, with bright sunshine and gentle breezes. Even a demanding and picky mother like [Blood Nun] had to admit that this kind of weather was very suitable for her precious child to bask in the sun.

"Get more sun and replenish calcium."

The nun in black and white spoke something that Wuqing could not understand while she opened the window of the guest room, letting in the sunlight that had already shone on the other side.

Suddenly, the room was so bright that it felt like standing on an open street.

Wuqing narrowed his eyes, dazzled by the sudden sunlight. He didn't know what the second half of Ms. Luo's sentence meant, but he knew that proper sunbathing was good for the body.

But this is mostly the advice given by mothers to their immature children, who grow faster and are healthier if they bask in the sun.

The captain suddenly became curious. What would he look like in Luo Niangzi's eyes? Was he the same as he saw himself, or was he just a street kid? Was Luo Niangzi covering her eyes because what she saw was completely different from what they saw?

He was curious in his heart, but he didn't express his curiosity out loud.

Madam Luo had said before that she was not sober sometimes, which was a warning to him - don't ask too many questions and don't get too close, otherwise she couldn't guarantee that something would not happen that would be difficult for him to accept.

Just treat it as a chance encounter. We will eventually part ways.

But at the moment, it seems that the only person who follows these is... him?

Wuqing bent his fingers and tapped the armrest of the wheelchair. With a click, the mechanism on the armrest popped out. The narrow mechanism box was filled with densely packed long and thin silver needles, each of which glowed darkly in the sunlight.

This means that they are poisoned with a deadly poison that kills instantly.

Wuqing had never used such a no-return mechanism before. The most hidden weapons he had were small gadgets like numbing, drugs, and medicines, which he kept for safety and sometimes even played the icing on the cake in investigating a case.

He had many enemies, and so did the Shenhou Mansion. Every year there were enemies who came to challenge the four of them to a fight to the death for various reasons, as if as long as they killed any one of them, they would become famous and go down in history.

It is not surprising that the world is bustling with people pursuing profit.

Among the four, only Wuqing has no internal strength, but he is also the only one who is least disturbed by those profit-seeking people.

The reason is simple, it's all because of his skill in using hidden weapons.

In addition to this wheelchair, he also has an even more powerful sedan. There are only a handful of people in the world who can defend against him.

In that case, how could he use poison?

This time, for the first time, he brought a device filled with poison, and Wuqing went back to get it before leaving. The poison was also stolen in a previous case.

The four words "there is a monster in Jizhou" made him nervous for several days before the trip. He always felt that the trip was full of dangers and that he would be in danger of death, so after thinking it over again and again, he brought the bottle of poison that would kill instantly upon contact with blood.

His decision to bring poison was right, but it has not been used yet.

Wuqing did not put these hidden weapons aside just because they could not be used. He thought he could rest easy with Luo Niangzi accompanying him. He was still very vigilant and took out these hidden weapons from time to time to check them in case of any accidents when they were needed.

Tarona sat opposite him and watched him put on special gloves and pick up the silver needle to examine it carefully.

She had only a vague knowledge of hidden weapons. She had only seen bat darts and bat knives before, and she didn't know which one counted as a hidden weapon.

...I don't think so. Anyone who is a villain in the DC universe knows that Batman must have these things in his pocket.

The Great Witch was amused for a moment, she put down her teacup and silently counted how many kinds of hidden weapons Wuqing had.

You won’t know until you count. Once you count, you will be shocked. This small wheelchair actually hides dozens of different hidden weapons. When combined with different mechanisms, they can have different uses.

Tarona was amazed in his heart: "You are the son of luck. He can master any skill and make it a hit. Are there so many kinds of hidden weapons in the martial arts world? I used to think there were only darts, throwing knives, and silver needles. What is that round thing with thorns?"

Theseus replied: [Caulerpini, the bigger ones will explode, but the power is small and won't kill people, but they can be used as smoke bombs.]

[Which one is particularly long? ]

[That is…]

Each person had his own system, and we asked and answered each other's questions in harmony and with perfect understanding. It was hard to tell at all that the latter was still being sarcastic towards the former last night.

Wuqing was used to being stared at by the black and white nuns. He was no longer the same as he was at the beginning when his ears would turn red due to being stared at by women. The chief constable checked his hidden weapons as usual and showed the man in front of him all his weapons that he had used to defeat his enemies without any hesitation.

If Zhui Ming were here, he would still be shocked.

You know, let alone the three of them, even Uncle Shi doesn't know how many kinds of hidden weapons Wuqing has.

He is so frank and trusting, is it because Miss Luo is not a human being? Even if she doesn't know Wuqing's wealth, if he takes a step back and starts fighting, the two of them cannot defeat her even if they join forces, so there is no need to avoid her?

It’s a pity that Zhui Ming was not here and missed this scene in vain.

…

Zhui Ming, who volunteered to investigate Ge Linglong's whereabouts, came out of a tavern carrying a pot of wine. He deliberately found a place to change his appearance. Even without Tarona's magic, people who saw him in this state would not associate him with Zhui Ming from the Shenhou Mansion.

Because he looked just like an ordinary laborer who came to buy some alcohol after work. There were a lot of such people at the dock.

So he smoothly joined the group of workers who were taking a lunch break, calling everyone "big brother" and generously sharing drinks with others, and in no time he was able to get others to start a conversation.

A high-ranking official like Ge Tong is also a corrupt official. They usually cannot see the common people at the bottom of society. Even if some of their actions are seen by these people, they do not care.

The whole family makes a living on their territory. Who would dare to risk their life to offend them?

These laborers go out to work before dawn and work all day long. There is no one better than them to get the news.

As expected, they had met Ge Linglong.

To be precise, it was the sedan chair of the prefectural government.

Everyone in Jizhou Prefecture knew that it was the governor's sedan chair. Normally, the only person who would travel in it was his daughter, no one else.

At this point, everyone was impressed by the prefect's deep affection for his wife and his love for his daughter. He is a rare good man in the world.

After listening to this, Zhui Ming looked around at their eyes. There was no trace of turbidity in their eyes, they were just expressing their feelings.

Perhaps in their eyes, a high-ranking official like the prefect, who only married two wives and had only one daughter, was a good man who valued love.

Zhui Ming nodded perfunctorily and asked if anyone among them knew where Ge Linglong was.

The pot of wine he brought was a good wine that cost him three taels of silver. After everyone drank a bowl, they all felt a little intoxicated and began to say things that they would not dare to say casually on normal days.

The sedan carrying Ge Linglong left the city two days ago. It was still dawn, and everyone who saw it remembered it clearly.

When asked what Ge Linglong was doing outside the city, the first person who drank the wine brought by Zhuimingdi waved his hand and burped: "What else can she do? Of course, she is going to pay tribute to her husband who died early."

It turned out that since Ge Linglong's husband died half a year ago and she was taken back to the prefectural government by Ge Tong, she would go back to pay tribute to her husband every month, rain or shine.

Others didn't know, so they all praised Ge Linglong for her deep love.

But you still don’t know how to chase your life?

Madam Luo said that this person is most likely the big monster in Jizhou Prefecture. Could she be going to pay tribute to her husband who died early?

Since it was impossible that she was going to worship, then what was she going to do?

It’s been two days, why would she come back?

Zhui Ming gave all the remaining wine to the person who answered him. The person shook the wine bottle with satisfaction and said, "It should be today. Miss Ge always comes back after two or three days when she goes to worship. Although her husband has died, she still has a father, the prefect, to be filial to!"

Today?

If it weren't for the sudden change that happened last night, Mr. Cui San, who had received the news, would have been hiding outside the prefectural government by now.

He stood in the sun and pondered for a while, then turned and went back to the inn.

No, it's not appropriate for him to go alone. What if he is discovered by the monster? It would be fine if he died, but he couldn't let his senior brother and the others die here, otherwise no one would know what happened in Jizhou Prefecture.

I still have to trouble Madam Luo.

For some reason, Tarona felt that after chasing his life for a while, he was more afraid of her now that he was back than before he went out. Now he even sat farther away from her.

It has a bit of the flavor of the non-anger Zen master.

How could he suddenly have the Yin-Yang Eyes? Just by going out once, he was able to see through her identity?

Tarona: There is something strange.

The nun in black and white suddenly turned her head, and apparently moved her gaze from Wuqing to Zhui Ming.

"cough!"

Zhui Ming was caught off guard and took a sip of tea. After he recovered, he opened his mouth and blurted out all the information he had heard. His technique of changing the subject was very stiff.

Wuqing looked at his attempt to cover up his crime and wanted to sigh.

Tarona had no intention of asking more questions about his change, but when she heard that Ge Linglong had news, her attention immediately shifted to Zhui Ming's words.

It was two days ago again. It went out to fight with the birch banshee, but it is not ruled out that it had other things to do. It would be better to go to Ge Linglong's husband's house and take a look. Maybe there will be new gains.

Are you coming back today?

The black and white nun shook her head and rejected Zhui Ming's suggestion: "I can't go with you. My scent is obvious and it is very likely that it will find me. If I fight it rashly, I am afraid that everyone in this city will die."

The abnormal flames specifically target living things, and she has not yet finished reinforcing and transforming the ghost realm, so now is not the best time to take action.

The witch raised her hand and patted Zhui Ming's shoulder. She felt his body suddenly become stiff, but soon relaxed. She still didn't care about these changes. She just said: "Don't be afraid. As long as you are far away, it can't find you."

Her magic is not vegetarian. It has more than twenty layers stacked up. If she can still find Zhui Ming, her name can be read backwards.

Zhui Ming was choked for a moment. He was not afraid...

Seeing the blindfolded beauty withdraw her hand, she immediately turned her face back to face her senior brother, and he forced himself to swallow the words stuck in his throat.

Forget it, there's really no comparison.

Since Miss Luo has said so, what is he still worried about? The restaurant at the end of Zhizhoufu Avenue is quite good. It is far away and high up, and you can also go there to have lunch.

Wuqing heard something else from Tarona's words, and asked, "Ms. Luo, where are you going?"

Tarona said: "Let's go to her husband's house. I suspect there will be some clues there."

Ge Linglong went to pay tribute to her late husband for half a year regardless of weather conditions. Whether the protagonist was Ge Linglong or Yifan, it was worth her trip.

If it was Ge Linglong, then she was indeed deeply in love with her late husband. Maybe Tarona could find a way to talk to Ge Linglong from there - provided that Ge Linglong's soul was still there and it was not voluntary.

But if it was abnormal, she would start looking for it thoroughly.

There must be something hidden in that place, otherwise it would be extremely impossible to go there for half a year.

After saying this, Tarona stood up and was about to leave.

Just as one foot was about to step into the invisible passage, she suddenly thought of something and turned around and said to Wuqing: "Wuqing, don't go anywhere before I come back."

Wuqing has difficulty walking. Even if he becomes a cat, he will be affected by the disability of his legs, and his mobility and speed will be reduced by half.

And the anomaly is coming back.

He'd better stay in the inn and not go anywhere.

...In fact, the most secure and safe place is still the paradise of the [Blood Nun].

Using his sleeves to cover his face, Tarona clenched his fists tightly to suppress the strong desire that surged in his heart.

She guaranteed that if Wuqing entered the paradise of the Blood Nun, he would never be able to get out before she left the mission world.

So goodbye.

Wuqing nodded seriously and agreed, and reminded her to be more careful.

So the black and white nun stepped into the passage confidently and eagerly.

'Her children are good children, and they will definitely do what they promised.'

'She has to come back soon, she has to be with her children soon.'

However--

None of the three of them had expected that accidents often come so unexpectedly.
