Chapter 127 Rescue
Tu Lanxun and the young police officer walked into the farmers' market. The people here make a living from the mountains. Although they don't often go deep into the Badapan Mountains, the wild delicacies picked from the outside are also circulated in the market, not to mention the imitation mountain products raised at home.
There was a fresh fragrance in the air, somewhere between mushrooms and soil. Tu Lanxun looked around and found several small milk tea shops and spicy hot pot restaurants in the farmers' market, which should be catering to the young people of Bapan Town.
She walked over there, and suddenly a shadow passed by behind her, without causing any waves of light, but Tu Lanxun felt a clear sense of incongruity.
"N. It seems like someone is following us." Tu Lanxun said almost silently: "Is it a pickpocket or someone from the Tianguo Group?"
N looked around, but the shadow he had been following had vanished. He couldn't find any trace of it and frowned slightly. "It's hiding. I can sense a ghost."
Tu Lanxun had a rough idea in his mind.
Clutching the pocket watch tightly in his hand, Tu Lanxun took advantage of the time it takes to blink, closed his eyes, bent to the side, and lowered his head to avoid the candlelight that was heading towards his head and neck.
It’s him!
It was the black fog ghost Nanlu who had done evil in Lucheng. He escaped from Adan and came here again!
I don't know if he was following them or just happened to bump into them.
Tu Lanxun didn't have time to think too much, and didn't care whether there was someone behind him. He turned around and elbowed the empty goal behind him. N immediately chased Nanlu two steps. His strength was faster, but the latter's appearance was more mysterious, like smoke that was blown away and faded into the air.
The young officer next to him was still in a daze, groping at the communicator on his waist, unsure whether to report the situation. He clutched his gun holster. Tu Lanxun shouted, "Something's wrong around here. Let's go!"
"No, don't we need to evacuate the crowd?" The young policeman didn't react for a moment.
Tu Lanxun grabbed his sleeve and pulled him forward. The young policeman was dragged half a meter before he realized: the biggest source of danger now is the two of them!
The two men crossed the narrow cement road and ran among bamboo shoots and wild vegetables. The young policeman's professionalism finally recovered. He kept looking back with his hand on the gun handle. Whenever someone caught up with him from behind, he could flank and kill the other person with a surprise attack.
But the pursuer in the crowd behind them never showed up - the candlelight in the black mist had disappeared, and the real person chasing them was someone else.
The other party must be a master of concealment. There was only a slight sense of oppression in the air, which made people prick up their ears like rabbits. He was in the gaps in the breeze, under the muddy concrete, and in the shadows behind each stall.
Tu Lanxun couldn't shake off the feeling of being targeted, so he ran with the young police officer to an open space at the back door of the farmers' market. It was an open space full of garbage, with poor sanitation management, but it was still quite spacious. There were several large trucks parked in the distance.
It does not completely expose the field of vision, but also provides space for escape and covert counterattack.
"Have you reported this to other people?" Tu Lanxun squatted beside the wheel of a truck and asked with his lips.
The young police officer just pressed the communicator, but found that there was no indicator light for the channel connection. He tried it twice, but it didn't work.
Is it the problem caused by that black fog ghost just now?
Or... do they have the ability to block signals naturally?
Now he had to fight alone. Tu Lanxun waved his hand and summoned several of the strongest fighters. From left to right stood N, Mikhail, Xianyu Qingyun and Lu Jiasui.
The temperature around them suddenly dropped, and Tu Lanxun felt as if a bird had flown across the sky. A dark shadow passed over the edge of his vision and then plummeted towards them. In less than two seconds, Tu Lanxun's peripheral vision dimmed as the young police officer next to him, gripping the handle of his gun, was attacked.
N reacted quickly and rushed forward. Before the black mist could enter the police officer's eyes and nose, he entered his body through his ear hole and took control of the body first.
Tu Lanxun watched as the young police officer, with his overly agile movements, performed two backflips, swiftly dodging the attack of the Black Mist Ghost. The officer's face was unusually cold, a stark contrast to the kind young man he had been before.
The black fog turned the corner and attacked Tu Lanxun. At the same time, two cold and unfamiliar auras surrounded him from behind. Tu Lanxun turned around suddenly and found that they were an ordinary man and woman with pale faces and indifferent expressions. They both had a strong aura and were obviously evil spirits that had been around for many years.
Sure enough, the person who caught her here was a living person who could control ghosts.
Otherwise, the ghosts under the Heavenly Kingdom Group would not appear in this strange town in plural. Just like what the lackey male ghost said before - they all have "shepherds".
So who is it?
Tu Lanxun's elbow slashed like a knife, and Mikhail's light flickered at the tip of his elbow. The three evil spirits were temporarily forced back for half a second, but they surged forward again in an instant. Xianyu Qingyun, standing nearby, suddenly leaped up and barely blocked Tu Lanxun's path, while Lu Jiasui and Mikhail also formed a protective posture.
However, the three evil spirits, including Nanlu, especially the cold man and woman, seemed to be accustomed to killing people. They were much more skilled than the three convenience store ghosts, and every move was ruthless and deadly. It was obvious that they had been trained for a long time.
There is no difference in strength between the two sides, but there is a big difference in technical level!
N, still in the body of the young police officer, ran over and stared at Tu Lanxun's back. The strange male ghost among the three evil ghosts attacked him, but was knocked back by N's flying punch. N said, "Run!"
Tu Lanxun didn't know where to run, but she rolled forward following the sense of danger. Suddenly, a loud noise was heard behind her, and a small hole with a burnt edge appeared on the car board just at the height of her head.
And a figure walked out leisurely from behind the truck.
The first thing that caught the eye was a man in a loose light beige suit, with semi-long hair swept on the shoulders. The wide, naturally curly black hair contained a square white face, a high nose like a beak, and narrow, white eyes with a fierce light flashing in them, sweeping across the face painted with blue.
It was the wanted morning glory, Huang Hejiang.
Tu Lanxun retreated, Qianniu pressing him. A dagger slipped from his palm, the narrow blade pointed directly at Tu Lanxun. Meanwhile, the young police officer, controlled by N, drew his pistol and pointed it at Qianniu. However, the two fierce spirits, one male and one female, pierced through the siege of Xianyu Qingyun and the other two ghosts and attacked N. The black fog on the southern slope pinned the three pursuing ghosts to the ground.
Qianniu is a fighting master with a bloody record. Even if Tu Lanxun had Mikhail's elbow, it would be difficult for her to fight him with her bare hands. She glanced at the sidelines, and the bitterness lingered at the root of her tongue, making it difficult to swallow.
"Your target wasn't anyone else from the beginning." Tu Lanxun searched for an escape route with his peripheral vision. "You came here to kill me."
Qianniu raised a thin smile and said, "You finally realized it."
"Would you consider stopping?" Tu Lanxun continued to retreat, but was afraid to retreat too quickly to provoke him to pounce. "The last train to make merit is about to leave..."
Qianniu was not interested in listening to nonsense. He could easily get rid of Tu Lanxun here and then escape again. The police would catch him later.
Tu Lanxun broke into a run, occasionally taking cover to parry Qianniu's blade. Qianniu's face remained white, though his eyes were red with excitement. Each swing of his blade was as precise and frantic as chopping wood, his wrist, arm, and shoulder swiftly thrusting forward. He felt as if he were being dragged forward by the blade. If Tu Lanxun had crawled even a little slower, he would have been riddled with holes.
"clang!"
A gunshot was heard, and it was N who fired the shot while being entangled by two evil spirits.
The trajectory of the bullet was twisted and deflected by the evil spirit, just glancing at Qianniu's face, leaving a horizontal red streak in the middle of his nose, and the bullet penetrated the courtyard wall farther away. Qianniu stopped and turned to glare.
"Nanxishan, can you just die in peace?"
N didn't answer, letting the two evil spirits transform into paint and swarm around him, the muzzle of his gun pointed directly at Qianniu. The young police officer's body was smoking, a mist as cold as dry ice, an ominous force swirling in the air.
"You can't hold on any longer." Qianniu laughed, "Do you really think the dead are more durable than the living?"
Although he smiled, his eyes were fixed on Tu Lanxun, and she had no chance to attack him.
On the other side, N and the two evil spirits are still in a stalemate. This confrontation will cause huge losses to both sides and will also harm the health of the young police officer.
No, she had to do something.
Tu Lanxun suddenly rushed forward, but not forward, but ran sideways. Qianniu subconsciously chased after her. Such a fast-moving scene made it difficult for N to aim. Someone knew why she did this, but fortunately Qianniu had not noticed it yet.
After running forward for a dozen or so steps, Tu Lanxun suddenly turned again, her elbow swiping the side of Qianniu's leg, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. This time, she wasn't going to counterattack Qianniu or the entangled N, but directly rushed towards Mikhail and the other two who were trapped by the southern slope of the black fog!
She can't deal with Qianniu who is holding a knife, but she is better than anyone else when it comes to ghosts!
N fired two bursts of shots at the right time, delaying Qianniu's pace for a few seconds, and N was completely surrounded by the two evil spirits in an instant. The sound of a pistol trigger vibrating came from the other side.
It was these two seconds that won him the victory. Tu Lanxun strode to Mikhail and the others, looking towards the southern slope. There was a faint silver light in the black fog, and Tu Lanxun grabbed it in his palm.
Got it, the soul core!
The wind died down and the air pressure became ridiculously low. For those two seconds, it seemed as if the entire sky had stopped breathing.
The figure at the southern foot of the black fog suddenly stiffened, and then the black fog dissipated, revealing the true appearance of a handsome middle-aged man underneath. He fell into a stagnation, and Xianyu Qingyun, Mikhail and the other two people under his control escaped instantly.
Tu Lanxun didn't need to say anything. Xianyu Qingyun flew past Tu Lanxun and rushed straight towards Qianniu who was rushing over with a knife. Tu Lanxun did not take the opportunity to distance himself from Qianniu. Instead, he hit Qianniu's right arm with his elbow. A slight cracking sound of bone was heard, and the knife flew out.
Mikhail and Lu Jiahui transformed into shadows and rushed to N's side. Together, the three of them blocked the two evil spirits. The initiative was once again in their hands.
A fierce gleam flashed in Qianniu's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Go again! Don't worry about the others, just kill her!"
Tu Lanxun and the others felt a chill in their hearts. The combined strength of their group was not necessarily higher than that of Qianniu's group, not to mention that the other party was determined to save her life at all costs.
At this moment, there was a sound of parking outside the yard. It might be that the onlookers at the farmers' market called the police.
Two figures walked in from outside, the instrument lights flashed, and the originally powerful and vicious evil spirit and Nanlu were both knocked to the ground.
Two women came in. The one on the left was the fashionable Bu Linlin, and the one on the right was a little shorter and fatter, older, and someone Tu Lanxun also knew.
It is scientist Ms. Mu Xiaozhen.
