Liu Nian is very angry right now.
The wizard, who could have gained some benefits, suddenly died inexplicably.
Li Qiang, who was originally going to give himself a crown, found that his house had been ransacked and he hadn't even left a pair of underwear.
Liu Nian was at a loss as to how to handle the problem.
Writing an IOU? What good is that? This damn thing must have offended some weirdos.
The Eye of Truth gives the initial impression of a cult!
Who knows when he'll kick the bucket? Is he going to go to the underworld to collect his debts?
It was bad luck, and after seeing his face clearly, Liu Nian felt even worse.
"It's you again?"
A tragic fate!
Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain all of this.
Just accept your bad luck, what else can you do?
Liu Nian turned around and wanted to go home.
Too many things happened today; I need to calm down and sort things out.
However, it's certain that I've gotten myself into trouble. They even dared to kidnap a sheriff, which gives you an idea of how powerful these madmen who call themselves the Eye of Truth are.
This place is not safe to stay!
Liu Nian became increasingly alarmed as she thought about it.
"The city lord's relatives have also been kidnapped. You'd better try to talk to the city lord; you and your brother might still have a chance to save your lives," Liu Nian reminded Li Qiang, who was standing there dumbfounded.
This guy isn't exactly bad, he's just a bit dim-witted.
That's all I have to say. I can barely take care of myself, let alone care about others.
The most important thing now is to escape this place; nothing else matters.
Is it because you can't handle the game that you should consider forming a team? After all, you're all alone, and everyone gets tired. Staying here for even a minute longer is risky.
As for him, may he have good luck!
Liu Nian's words awakened the confused Li Qiang. Watching Liu Nian's departing figure, Li Qiang felt that he was no longer so afraid of him.
"I will never thank you enough; I will remember this kindness!"
After quickly packing up, Li Qiang took advantage of the darkness and ran towards the city lord's mansion, the highest point of the city.
Perhaps things have turned around and things are looking up; they encountered no further obstacles along the way.
"I am the younger brother of Li Gang, the captain of the first squad of the sheriff. I have some clues about the city lord's relatives and I want to report them to the city lord in person." Li Qiang had already thought about how to report this matter along the way.
After identifying himself, the security guard at the gate, hearing that it concerned the city lord, dared not neglect his duty. He gave his colleague a few instructions and then ran inside the gate.
As for counterfeits? If you're willing to risk your life, they won't hesitate to take it away. What's a life worth these days?
A short while later, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler followed the security guard out. After looking Li Qiang up and down, he said, "You're the one who said you knew about Chen Shi's whereabouts?"
Chen Shi, a distant relative of the city lord Dugu Xing, is the one who went missing.
“Yes, but I will only tell the city lord,” Li Qiang said calmly.
"How dare you! You can't just see the city lord whenever you want!" the security guard shouted.
Seeing Li Qiang's fearless gaze, the middle-aged man raised his hand to stop the security guard.
I asked a few questions, and Li Qiang answered them all fluently.
The middle-aged man nodded to the security guard.
After searching the entrance and finding that Li Qiang was not carrying any weapons, the middle-aged man led Li Qiang into the city lord's mansion.
The guards were tight all the way, and Li Qiang couldn't help but feel nervous.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Li Qiang forced a smile and asked, "How should I address you?"
The middle-aged man smiled upon hearing this and said, "Just call me Zhao Rui."
After hearing this, Li Qiang put on a smile and called out, "Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Rui remained noncommittal upon hearing this.
When we arrived at a room, there were two security guards standing at the door.
Upon seeing Zhao Rui arrive, one of the security guards opened the door, while the other searched Li Qiang again. He nodded to the guard who opened the door before letting him through.
Upon entering, it appeared to be a reception room.
Zhao Rui told Li Qiang to rest in the room for a while, saying that the city lord had something to attend to and would be there in a while. Then he left and disappeared.
About ten minutes later, the city lord of Wushuang City finally arrived.
The man appeared to be in his early twenties, but possessed a rather dignified air. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, with a handsome and refined appearance. He wore a suit and leather shoes.
Zhao Rui followed behind them. After the door was closed, everyone took their seats.
"I heard you have something to tell me?" Dugu Xing asked directly.
This is a very important matter, and Li Qiang glanced at Zhao Rui uneasily.
"Uncle Zhao is someone I trust, so please speak freely!"
Since that's the case, Li Qiang told his brother about his disappearance and what had just happened.
After settling Li Qiang in the guest room, Dugu Xing gathered everyone together to discuss the matter.
"Are you sure what he said is credible?" asked the bodyguard captain in charge of protecting Dugu Xing.
The security captain's name was Feng Xuan. He wasn't very old, and his buzz cut made him look very energetic.
"It shouldn't be fake. I've met the person he's talking about. He's the captain of the second squad of the Public Security Bureau, a level five professional, a wizard. His whereabouts are currently unknown."
"Moreover, many people have confirmed that a fight broke out at the location he mentioned, but it was very dark, and no one could confirm that it was them."
"It's easy to prove this."
“When our people arrived, the scene had already been dealt with, which only proved that someone had died there, but no body was left behind.”
"These clues combined prove that there is a hidden organization in this city. It may not be the Eye of Truth he mentioned, but there is indeed such a powerful organization."
"Even the police have been bribed. How many things are there that we don't know about?"
"We need to investigate every place his brother has been to, thoroughly investigate!"
"Also, I'm very interested in that necromancer," Dugu Xing said, changing the subject.
"Understood, I'll make the arrangements right away." Zhao Rui knew that Dugu Xing valued talent, and he was very interested in meeting such an expert who could single-handedly kill a professional and five advanced beginners.
Like him, he wasn't the only one interested in Liu Nian.
In a certain place, in a large hall, a man sat in a black chair, the candlelight shining behind him obscuring his features.
"According to local residents, it was done by a person wearing a black cloak."
"Oh, right, they also said he's a master who can summon many creatures, including skeletons, ghouls, and a monster with a bottle. Oh, and crows too."
"Skeletons, ghouls?" The person in the seat raised their voice, clearly intrigued.
"Check if he owns a motorcycle with an unregistered license plate."
"Yes, it's in the public area," the subordinate replied confidently, clearly having done his research.
It's perfect timing! I've been searching high and low, but it's right here without any effort on my part.
They were frantically searching for the whereabouts of the sacred artifact when news finally arrived.
Long live the Eye of Truth!
It's almost certainly this person; I wonder if he has any accomplices.
Thinking of this, he instructed, "Keep an eye on him, but don't alert him."
"yes."
"Go down!"
Watching his men leave the room, he unfolded the curtain on the table, revealing a crystal ball.
After a series of actions, the crystal ball lit up, and he said expressionlessly, "I already know the whereabouts of the sacred object. I'm afraid this thief might escape, so I hope the Tianxia Society branch will send a few experts."
"I am aware of your situation. Someone will come to help you in a few days."
After the crystal ball went out, the man looked at the moonlight outside the window, lost in thought.
