Chapter 56 Quickly Transmigrate! Conquer Michael and Lucifer (3)
The scorching sun seemed to melt the ground, and the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of sweat and rotten fish.
Feng Ziang had just stepped into the small market called "Qingfeng Town" and before he had time to look around, he was surrounded by a group of fierce and ferocious men.
They were all shirtless, muscular, and holding sticks, as if they were going to eat him alive in the next second.
"It's him! He stole Mr. Li's silver dollars!"
He was confused. What was this?
He became "Stealing Guevara" as soon as he was born?
"Bah! You look so tender and delicate, but I didn't expect you to be a dirty thief!" A muscular man with a bruised face spat and glared at him viciously.
More and more people gathered around him, and the noisy accusations and curses surged towards Feng Ziang like a tide, as if to drown him.
Feng Ziang felt like a monkey being watched in a zoo, and the kind being splashed with dirty water.
"Just be patient." Feng Ziang calmed himself down and tried to look calmer.
He cleared his throat and said in an unquestionable tone, "Instead of yelling here, why don't we find the things together? Isn't it more efficient?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent for a few seconds, and the crowd, who had been so angry just a moment ago, seemed to have been muted.
They looked at each other in bewilderment, as if they had not expected that the young man, whom they believed to be a thief, would actually make such a suggestion. Wasn't this plot development wrong?
Is he really not a thief?
Did we wrongly accuse him?
"This kid is quite interesting." A slightly sarcastic voice came from outside the crowd, breaking the brief silence.
Feng Ziang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in a satin gown, waving a folding fan, walking towards him slowly with a playful smile on his face.
"Humph, you really think this place is your home. However, I advise you to just surrender obediently."
A man in a satin gown walked over slowly, waving a folding fan, followed by a group of burly men.
The leader, with a fierce look on his face and a thumb-thick gold chain around his neck, was Lin Hu, a small leader of a local gang.
He narrowed his eyes, looked Feng Ziang up and down, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hey, where did this pretty boy come from? You are so brave to act wildly on my territory!"
Feng Ziang frowned. The hostility in this man was so strong that it seemed to be materializing.
He clearly felt that this guy named Lin Hu was full of malice towards him, and this was definitely not without reason.
A nameless anger burned in Feng Ziang's heart. Hey, boy, why are you being treated as a soft persimmon as soon as you get here?
My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can’t!
When the people around saw Lin Hu appear, they were all frightened and stepped back a few steps, fearing that they would get into trouble.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and even breathing became cautious.
Feng Ziang looked around and then fixed his eyes on a sneaky, thin figure outside the crowd. He saw that the man was stuffing a purse in his hand into his arms.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he had an idea in his mind.
"Everyone, don't be led by him. The real thief is here!" As soon as Feng Ziang finished speaking, a faint light flashed between his fingers, and an invisible silk thread instantly wrapped around the waist of the thin figure, directly pulling the purse out of his hand and steadily falling into Feng Ziang's hand.
"Wow!" The crowd cheered in surprise. They stared with wide eyes at the purse that appeared out of thin air in Feng Ziang's hand, and their jaws almost dropped in shock.
What's happening?
Performing magic?
Or did you meet a god?
Lin Hu's face suddenly turned gloomy. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak young man was actually so capable.
He felt like he had kicked a hard iron plate. He originally thought it was bronze, but unexpectedly it was a king?
"Hmph, quite interesting." Lin Hu sneered, staring at Feng Ziang with eyes like a venomous snake, "I am becoming more and more curious about who you are."
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I want to investigate the strange events that happened in this town recently." Feng Ziang restrained his cynical attitude and his eyes became sharp. He wanted to complete his mission and would not let go of anyone who stood in his way.
"Oh? Investigating strange events?" A somewhat old and weird voice came, "Young man, I think you should just forget it. The strange events in this town are not something that anyone can investigate..."
The person who spoke was an old man wearing a grey gown and a goatee. He was the master of Qingfeng Town, Master Chen.
He walked slowly to Lin Hu and said in a weird tone: "Young man, I think you'd better give up. The strange events in this town are not something that anyone can investigate. Be careful not to get into trouble." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Hu meaningfully.
Feng Ziang sneered in his heart, this old fox was indeed in cahoots with Lin Hu.
He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Master Chen, what do you mean? Is there any secret in this town?"
Master Chen stroked his beard and said in a pretentious tone, "Young man, you don't know that this town has been in turmoil recently. Strange things have been happening all the time, and even the government is helpless. As a foreigner, you'd better stay out of other people's business."
"Oh? Weird things? For example?" Feng Ziang pressed on, he knew that this old guy must be hiding something.
Master Chen rolled his eyes and said, "For example, people have been missing in town recently, and they are all young people. Don't you think it's strange?"
Feng Ziang was quick to spot the loophole in his words and immediately asked back, "Master Chen, if it was a young man who went missing, then why was Master Li's silver also stolen? Master Li is over 60 years old."
Master Chen was suddenly speechless and his face turned a little ugly.
The people around also began to whisper to each other. They felt that what Feng Ziang said made sense and that there seemed to be something wrong with Master Chen.
Feng Ziang struck while the iron was hot and said, "Master Chen, you don't have to keep scaremongering me. Now that I'm here, I will definitely get to the bottom of this. Why don't you tell me what the young people who have been missing recently have in common?"
Master Chen hesitated and couldn't explain it for a long time.
Feng Ziang knew that he couldn't get any useful information from him, so he decided to change his target.
"Mr. Liu, come here." Feng Ziang waved to an old man in the crowd.
Old Man Liu is an old resident of the town. He is an honest and decent man. Perhaps he knows something.
Old Man Liu walked up to Feng Ziang tremblingly, lowering his head and not daring to look at him.
Feng Ziang asked softly, "Old man, don't be afraid. I just want to ask you something. Do you know any of the young people who have gone missing in the town recently?"
Mr. Liu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Feng Ziang continued to ask: "Then do you know where they went before they disappeared?"
Old Man Liu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to.
Feng Ziang noticed that his eyes were flickering, as if he had something to hide.
He patted Old Man Liu on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, old man. As long as you tell the truth, I will definitely protect your safety."
Old Man Liu took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to say, "They...they have all been to...the back mountain..."
"Back mountain?" Feng Ziang frowned. What is there in the back mountain?
At this moment, a cold wind blew, and the temperature around dropped sharply, making people shiver.
Fengzi looked up and saw that the originally clear sky had been covered by dark clouds without him knowing when. As night fell, the whole town was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.
Feng Ziang had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he felt that danger was approaching.
He decided to go to the back mountain immediately to see if there was any secret hidden there.
He walked quickly towards Mr. Liu's house, ready to ask for more details, but he noticed a dark shadow flashing past the door of Mr. Liu's house.
Feng Ziang's heart sank, he held his breath, lightened his steps, and slowly approached...
Something seemed to be stirring in the darkness, and he felt that danger was really coming...
"who?!"
