Chapter 536 Above the Posing (71) [VIP]
The black vehicle in front drove all the way to the vicinity of Lake District Park, and the little ghost followed along with it.
Wen Qi hailed a taxi on the roadside, followed slowly, and sat in the back seat, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
In another world, Wen Qi was standing next to the table, and sitting in her seat were Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan, who had just returned from the police station where the Yinchai was.
The current condition of these two people does not look very good.
Qiu Zihan's entire body was covered in all kinds of dust, and he looked like he had rolled in a pile of ashes after burning paper. Even his hair was covered in a thick layer of paper ash, which fell off whenever he moved.
Tang Ling looked a little better than him, but not much better. Although there was not much dust on her body, the corners of her clothes, sleeves, and trouser legs were all burned inward by the flames, leaving dark brown spots, which showed that she had walked through a sea of fire.
The two of them set a fire and came back to this situation. As soon as they stepped into the door of the pharmacy, Wen Qi quickly sat up from his seat and very consciously gave up his resting place.
——After all, they couldn’t expect Bai Jinshu and Zhao Yinglai to make room for them.
Skao's mysophobia kicked in. Bai Jinshu didn't turn around and leave, which was a sign that he had developed strong antibodies due to Qiu Zihan's explosive behavior over the past few days. And Zhao Ying came...
Zhao Yinglai enthusiastically grabbed a handful of melon seeds and asked Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan if they wanted to eat some. Tang Ling replied, "No, I want to change clothes first," and Qiu Zihan replied, "Yes, yes, yes! Hey, sister, why are you pulling me? I'll wash my hands first before eating, okay?"
"How did you get like this?" She grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Qiu Zihan and asked with concern, "What happened?"
The reason they were able to successfully set fire to the police station yesterday was mainly because they were caught off guard. No one, whether in the world of the living or the underworld, would be bold enough to throw a Molotov cocktail into a police station.
The reason they were able to successfully set the fire and escape was mainly because they had the advantage of being the first to do so.
But it was different for Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan. The police station had been burned down yesterday, so security would have been stepped up today. The two of them were able to break through numerous obstacles and successfully set the police station on fire again. Not to mention that only ashes and clothes were burned on their bodies, it would not be surprising even if they were beaten up.
Zhao Yinglai asked casually, but unexpectedly he actually asked something.
"It's really a strange thing..." Tang Ling frowned, "When we went to burn the police station, we accidentally set the police on fire as well."
"Set the police on fire?" Zhao Yinglai paused slightly.
If something can be described as "on fire", it must be a flammable object rather than a person...
As it happens, this is the underworld, filled with flammable paper people.
Could it be that Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan met a paper man who was a policeman?
She subconsciously raised her eyes to exchange glances with Skao, but found that Skao, who was sitting on the chair just now, had already rushed to the bamboo bed where their eighth team member was lying, with an attitude of "staying as far away from Qiu Zihan as possible". Not to mention exchanging glances, she couldn't even see Skao's face from such a long distance.
Zhao Yinglai twitched his lips and had to give up the idea of exchanging time. He followed Tang Ling's words and asked, "What's the strange thing? Is it related to the rules and clues here?"
"I think so too," Tang Ling didn't notice Zhao Ying's expression, and was completely immersed in his latest discovery. "We were just planning to start a small fire and run away, but we ran into a group of police officers patrolling here. Qiu Zihan was quicker than he thought, and he subconsciously threw the torch at the police. But one of the police officers suddenly became like a flammable object, and was burned by the flames, turning into a ball of burning debris."
Although Tang Ling felt it was strange at the time, the situation was urgent and there was no time for them to check carefully. The two were caught before they could set the fire. The top priority, of course, was to quickly escape from the police encirclement.
But the noise was too loud and attracted more police. Finally, Tang Ling had an idea and remembered the policeman who was set on fire by the lighter thrown by Qiu Zihan. He decided to try it out and started setting fire to the surrounding policemen. He then took advantage of the chaos to set fire to a small building and escaped.
"We suspect that some people in this world may have some traits that others don't have, such as being particularly afraid of fire." She analyzed seriously, "I remember speculating before that the memory recovery of Team 1 members might be related to the burning of the police station. So is it possible that it is also related to these special members in the police station?"
"It's possible," Zhao Yinglai knew that those "fire-fearing" policemen were mostly paper figures, but he couldn't make it clear in front of Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan, so he had to change the subject, "We'll know if we try it again tomorrow night. Instead of this, why don't you two change your clothes?"
The police station just caught fire tonight, and anyone with eyes could tell from the looks of Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan that they had just come out of a fire scene, so they had to change their clothes.
After Qiu Zihan entered the bathroom deep in the pharmacy and Tang Ling went to change clothes, Wen Qi quietly moved towards Bai Jinshu.
"Teacher, something seems wrong." She looked a little confused.
"I followed Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing all the way to the Lake District Park," she said softly in a low voice, "After they got off the car, they went to a roadside bar to buy some alcohol. I wanted to follow them, but I found out that they seemed to be just going to buy alcohol. Chen Lei and the driver were still in the car, so I didn't do anything rash and just waited by the side."
Who knew that she did not act rashly, but after Zhang Xu and Zhang Weijing entered the bar, a white van stopped not far away. Two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, got out of the van. The man entered the bar, while the woman, wearing a black mask, pretended to pass by the car where Chen Lei was sitting several times. Although she did not turn her head, she kept looking sideways into the car window, as if she was looking for someone.
The strange behavior of these two people soon attracted Wen Qi's attention.
The middle-aged man was wearing a black windbreaker that could be seen everywhere, and he didn't look like the target of the drunk driving crowd. The middle-aged woman walked back and forth pretending to pass by the car where Chen Lei was sitting, as if she was looking for someone.
These two people seemed to be teaching Zhang Weijing and Zhang Xu.
"Could it be that these two people are..."
Before she finished her puzzled retelling, she saw Scaro, who had been lazily leaning on the bamboo bed in front of her and looked like he was about to fall asleep, suddenly open his eyes and stare at her for a few seconds.
"Here comes an unexpected reward," he straightened his upper body, "it seems you are lucky."
These two people are not here to teach Zhang Weijing and Zhang Xu.
Wen Qi didn't understand what was going on, and Tang Ling had already changed his clothes and walked out of the room. She could only suppress her doubts, squat behind the corner of the wall, and observe what was happening outside.
Xiao Gui followed Zhang Weijing and Zhang Xujiao into the bar. The two men did not seem to be going there to relax and get drunk, but rather to purchase goods.
All the liquor placed behind the counters of the five bars connected to this street was cleared out by the two men and sent one by one to the trunk of the black car.
Unfortunately, there was no room in the trunk, so the bartenders carrying boxes of liquor had to grit their teeth and stuff the bottles into the back seats.
Chen Lei was sitting in the back seat. In order to hold so much alcohol, he was squeezed to the edge of the seat after being woken up by the bartenders. In his hazy drunkenness and confused vision, he saw the brother and sister get in the car from the side door, and then started chatting while opening a can of beer placed next to them.
As they chatted, they seemed to have started arguing. The conflict became more and more intense. Finally, Zhang Xujiao cursed quickly and shouted at the driver: "Stop the car!"
"What are you doing?" In Chen Lei's ears, Zhang Weijing's voice had a vague and distorted feeling. He didn't know whether it was because he was drunk or she was drunk too. She didn't sound like she was really angry, but rather like a clumsy flattery.
"Stop right there!" Zhang Xujiao said angrily, "You leave too."
The latter words seemed to be directed to the driver.
Chen Lei was drunk and groggy, and could only hear the two people arguing for a few words. It was probably just that the driver was trying to take them back, but Zhang Xujiao and Zhang Weijing were obviously too excited about the argument and actually got angry at the driver, asking him to get out immediately.
When the young master and the young lady lost their temper, the effect was simply that the sum of one was greater than two. The driver could not hold out for long under the joint attack of the two and had to leave.
Zhang Weijing and Zhang Xujiao seemed to quarrel even more after the driver left. Zhang Weijing liked to smash things when she quarreled, and the wine bottles in the car suddenly became her best props for venting. With a crisp sound of glass breaking, the interior of the car, which originally only had a faint scent of car incense, was quickly filled with a pungent smell of white wine.
The sound of shattering seemed to have turned on a switch. Zhang Xujiao, who was usually calm, could no longer suppress his anger. He grabbed a bottle of wine next to him and smashed it down.
There was a stronger pungent smell in the car.
It was rare for the two to quarrel like this. Chen Lei listened to them in a daze, his brain automatically filtering out the language information, leaving only the smell at the tip of his nose that kept drilling into his brain.
The smell of wine...
Strong smell of alcohol.
He smacked his lips and suddenly realized that he was a little thirsty.
At this moment, the two people who were quarreling seemed to realize that the space in the car was not enough for them to smash things. It was unknown who opened the door first or who jumped out of the car. The two people walked farther and farther away, and only the loud quarreling could be vaguely heard.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Chen Lei opened his eyes dazedly and looked around him.
The car seemed to be parked near a park. There were not many cars on the road, but the gangsters could be heard chatting and bragging. No one knew where the other people in the car had gone. He was the only one left, and there was a strong smell of alcohol.
My throat is so dry after getting drunk that it feels like it’s smoking. There is no water around, but there seems to be enough wine.
Chen Lei subconsciously picked up a bottle of wine that looked like soda with a low alcohol content from the side, pressed it against the window to open the bottle cap, tilted his head back and drank it down.
