Chapter 90 Finding Mr. Liu
There were some letters in the box. Xie Liang divided them up and read them with everyone else.
"What the hell? These are just some love letters! What does it have to do with Mr. Liu we are looking for?" Lu Bubu said angrily.
"That's me too," Shi Xiaoyin said, reciting, "In the morning I watch the sky, and at dusk I watch the clouds. When I walk I think of the clouds, and when I go to sleep I think of the clouds. Could this 'cloud' be the woman from today?"
"So what if it's her? So what if it's not her? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Mr. Liu we are looking for?" Wu Tingting said.
"Don't be in a hurry. Read all these letters. If it's hers, the writer is most likely Mr. Liu." Xie Liang said as he distributed the remaining letters to several people.
Everyone sat together and watched carefully with flashlights.
After a while, Lu Bubu shouted: "We have a photo here! It looks like a man, but it's too blurry to see his appearance clearly." As he said that, he handed the photo to Xie Liang.
Xie Liang took the photo and looked at it carefully.
The photo was black and white, about two inches in size, and the paper had turned yellow and faded. The person in the photo had short hair and was wearing a suit, but his facial features were unclear, just as Lu Bubu had said, because they were too blurry.
There were three words written in pen on the back of the photo, but the ink had become blurred over time.
After studying for a while, Xie Liang finally confirmed that the three words were - Liu Chenggong.
"Everyone, open the envelope first and see if there are any photos. The Mr. Liu we are looking for should be a man named Liu Chenggong." Xie Liang said.
Upon hearing this, everyone opened the envelopes in their hands.
"I have one here!"
"We have another one!"
"I have two! Here!"
Without exception, these photos are all two-inch black and white individual photos with the words "Liu Chenggong" written on the back. As for the facial features, either the left or right half of the face is blurred, or the upper or lower half of the face is blurred, or it is simply blurred completely, making it impossible to see what the person in the photo looks like.
Lu Bubu said angrily: "Damn it! It's all messed up here and there, there's not a single perfect one."
Xie Liang ignored the content of the letter, placed the photos on the ground one by one, and concentrated on piecing together the appearance of the man in the photos.
"The copy is about to be reset. Tomorrow is the last day. Everyone should hurry up and see what characteristics Mr. Liu has." Xie Liang said.
"How do you see this?" Wu Tingting said.
"If you think there's something wrong, just tell me." Xie Liang said.
"All right."
After looking at it for a while, everyone couldn't figure out what it meant, so they all started reading the letter again.
Xie Liang always felt that the person in the photo looked familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
A feeling of dizziness came over Xie Liang, and he knew that the copy was being reset. He hugged Xu He tightly and fainted.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back at the place where they first landed.
A fishy and sweet taste surged in Xie Liang's throat, and he spat out three mouthfuls of blood with a "pu" sound. Xu He was so scared that he hurriedly supported him and checked on him.
"I'm fine, everyone is like this." Xie Liang comforted.
Xu He glanced at the people who were holding their knees and spitting blood, frowned and said, "Why am I okay?"
"Uh..." Xie Liang said, "It's a good thing that nothing happened."
Lu Bubu walked towards Xie Liang and said, "Brother, do you have any idea?"
"Yeah, it looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before," said Xie Liang.
Lu Bubu scratched his head and said, "No way, you still think the face is familiar even though it's so blurry."
Shi Xiaoyin hurried to the place where everyone checked the box last night. The things on the ground were still there. She quickly put the letters and photos into the box and brought it over.
"Fortunately these things are still here. Here, take a look at them again." Shi Xiaoyin said as he distributed some more letters to everyone.
This time the reset time was advanced by half an hour, which was still early for the NPC to appear. Xie Liang always felt that there must be a reason for this setting of the copy.
Everyone lowered their heads and began to read the letter.
"Doesn't this person ever change his clothes? He wears the same clothes in every photo." Wu Tingting muttered while holding a photo.
"These photos are all in black and white. Can you still tell whether they are changed or not?" said the yellow-haired man.
"I'm not blind. This is the same suit." Wu Tingting said as she handed a few photos to Huangmao, motioning him to look carefully.
"Suit?" Xie Liang murmured.
Wu Tingting spread out all the photos in front of Xie Liang like a fan: "Yes, you can see they are all wearing suits."
Xie Liang stared at the clothes the man in the photo wore for a long time. Suddenly, the clothes gradually overlapped in his mind with the clothes worn by a person. He screamed with joy, "I know who Mr. Liu is!"
"Who!" Lu Bubu asked anxiously.
"It's the NPC we met when we first arrived at this dungeon! Hurry! He must still be in the restaurant!" Xie Liang said as he hurriedly took out 60 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xu He.
"Brother He, go into the restaurant first and take a look. If I guess correctly, he is inside the restaurant." Xie Liang said.
"Well, please take good care of him for me." Xu He said to Lu Bubu.
Lu Bubu assured: "Don't worry, brother, we will stay here to guard you and wait for you to come out."
After Xu He took the money, he strode towards the restaurant.
"Wait, I still have a hundred yuan in my pocket, I'll go too!" said the yellow-haired man as he chased after Xu He.
After they walked away, Lu Bubu squatted down next to Xie Liang again and asked, "Brother, how do you know that Mr. Liu is the NPC?"
"Is it a suit?" Shi Xiaoyin said.
"Well, a suit, black. In this copy, only that NPC is wearing the same style." Xie Liang said.
"Now that you mention it, I also think he looks like a boss," said Shi Xiaoyin.
"No way? You can tell from this suit?" Lu Bubu asked in surprise.
"Not only that, but also his shiny leather shoes. In short, I think he is. If he is not, I don't know." Xie Liang said.
"Brother, since you said he is, then he must be."
"I hope so."
The wind gradually grew stronger, blowing up dust and sand, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Li Kuan lay on the ground with his head straight, motionless, and it seemed that his body had stopped moving.
Xie Liang pointed at him and asked Shi Xiaoyin, "Is he still alive?"
Shi Xiaoyin walked over, squatted down and sniffed Li Kuantou's breath, then turned around and shook his head at Xie Liang.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Lu Bubu carried Xie Liang on his back, and the group came to the eaves outside the restaurant, waiting for Xu He and Huang Mao to come out.
At around half past ten, Xu He was the first to leave the restaurant, followed by Huang Mao, and then the NPC in the black suit.
As soon as Xu He came out, he strode towards Xie Liang, carried Xie Liang on his back, and followed the NPC with everyone else.
Huangmao looked very excited. As soon as he approached them, he couldn't wait to say, "It's Mr. Liu! We are saved!"
"Great! How did you know?" Wu Tingting said.
"As soon as we entered, two waiters came over and asked if we had a reservation. Brother Xu He said he was looking for Mr. Liu, so they led us into a private room on the second floor! The NPC was sitting in the room eating breakfast!" Huangmao said excitedly.
"Good guy, you hid it so deeply!" said Lu Bu.
Everyone followed NPC Mr. Liu and walked along the road towards the urban area where the fog had not yet dissipated.
At the bend in the road, the big red truck appeared again, driving towards the crowd at high speed.
"Get out of the way!" Xie Liang shouted.
Everyone reacted quickly and jumped out onto the road.
Mr. Liu, who was walking in front of the road, couldn't dodge in time. With a loud bang, he was hit head-on by the truck! He was knocked away and hung on the iron tip of the telephone pole.
The iron rod pierced Mr. Liu's abdomen. Mr. Liu struggled for a few times and then went limp.
At this time, the truck that had originally stopped drove off the road and hit Shi Xiaoyin and Wu Tingting on the other side!
"Sister!" Lu Bubu, who was not far from Shi Xiaoyin, shouted and rushed over.
The truck stopped for only a moment before returning to the road and heading in the direction they were coming from.
Xie Liang hurriedly asked Xu He to carry him and ran towards Shi Xiaoyin.
Shi Xiaoyin was supporting Lu Bubu and did not seem to be injured.
"Miss Xiaoyin, are you okay?" Xie Liang asked.
"It's okay, this idiot pushed me." Shi Xiaoyin said.
Lu Bubu clutched his waist and yelled, "Shit! It hurts so much! Is my waist the same as yours?"
Shi Xiaoyin rolled her eyes at him and said, "I won't scold you this time. Speak nicely."
"It hurts! It hurts so much. It hurts so much." Lu Bubu said as he lifted up his clothes, revealing a purple bruise on his waist.
"What's going on with that car? It looks like a ghost car." Wu Tingting said.
"Brother Xie Liang, were you also hit by this car before?" asked the yellow-haired man.
"It's this broken car, brother, do you know what's wrong with it?" asked Lu Bubu.
"I don't know. It might be the setting of the dungeon, used to increase the difficulty." Xie Liang said, "Forget about that. Let's go and see if Mr. Liu is dead or alive."
Shi Xiaoyin supported Lu Bubu and took two tentative steps. Lu Bubu screamed like a pig being slaughtered: "No! My waist bone is probably broken!"
"Lumbar bone? It's the pelvis, right?" Shi Xiaoyin asked.
"Don't worry about the bones, I can't walk anymore."
Shi Xiaoyin had no choice but to ask Huangmao for help. The two of them held Lu Bubu's arms, one on each side, and carried him towards the telephone pole where General Liu was hanging.
Mr. Liu was still hanging steadily on the electric pole. His chest and abdomen were pierced by two short and long iron spikes. Blood dripped onto the ground, forming a shocking puddle of red.
"He...he looks dead." Wu Tingting whispered.
"I can't die any more, brother, what should I do?" asked Lu Bubu.
"I don't know yet. Let's get him down first." Xie Liang said.
Xie Liang asked Xu He to put him on a clean piece of ground, pointed at the electric pole and said, "Brother He, be careful of the electricity, please be safe."
"Um."
Xu He quickly climbed up the thick electric pole, bypassed the iron tip, and kicked Mr. Liu down.
Seeing Wu Tingting squatting beside him, Xie Liang said, "Miss Wu Tingting, please go and search Mr. Liu to see if there are any clues."
Shi Xiaoyin was worried that she wasn't searching thoroughly enough, and said, "I'll do it too." Then she let go of Lu Bubu who was supporting her.
Lu Bubu immediately cried out: "Ah! Woman, can you be gentler!"
Shi Xiaoyin followed Wu Tingting towards Mr. Liu without looking back.
After a while, the two of them walked back towards Xie Liang.
"How is it?" asked Lu Bubu.
Shi Xiaoyin ignored him and handed the black wallet in his hand to Xie Liang: "This is all he has on him."
Xie Liang took the wallet, opened it and started looking.
The wallet was made of leather and contained a black and white half-length photo of three people: Mr. Liu, a woman named Sister Yang, and a half-year-old baby in Sister Yang's arms.
Apart from that, there were only some old banknotes, the colors and styles of which were different from the banknotes they use now.
"Could his home be Sister Yang's?" Shi Xiaoyin asked.
Lu Bubu scratched his head and said, "That damned Sister Yang's house isn't in this direction."
Shi Xiaoyin said nothing more and looked at Xie Liang.
"I don't know either, let's give it a try." Xie Liang said.
Then Xu He carried Xie Liang on his back, Wu Tingting and Shi Xiaoyin supported Lu Bubu on both sides, and Huangmao dragged Mr. Liu's body, and the group returned to the restaurant entrance.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sky was full of dust. There were injured and disabled people in the team. If Mr. Liu's home was not Room 606 where Sister Yang lived, they would waste even more time going back and forth.
Thinking of this, Xie Liang asked everyone to stop and asked Xu He to put him under the eaves on one side.
"Brother He, you go with them. Bubu and I will wait here. If the door is not opened, remember to drag Mr. Liu's body back." Xie Liang said.
"I can go alone." Xu He said to Shi Xiaoyin, "Xiaoliang, I'll trouble you."
Shi Xiaoyin nodded heavily when she heard this: "He is here, I am here." As she said that, she pulled out the red chain whip from her waist.
Lu Bubu: "Fuck! Sister, when did you ever treat me like that—"
"Shut up!" Shi Xiaoyin said, "Brother He, go ahead. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back."
Xu He didn't say anything. He bent down and kissed Xie Liang on the forehead. Then he walked to the side, dragged Mr. Liu, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, and walked towards Xiaoniao Apartment.
