Cannon Fodder Counterattack System (VIII)

Facts have proved that one should not think too much in life.

Otherwise, it will be easy to be thrown into chaos by sudden accidents.

The guy in black was probably a person with special abilities related to speed. Even though he was carrying two adults on his left and right, he still disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shang Li and Cui Lan were just too fast to catch up.

Fortunately, when the man in black climbed over the window, the long knife thrown by Cui Lan grazed his arm.

"Shang Li!"

The silver-eyed young man shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a pale hand gently pressed the black-clothed man's shoulder from behind, "Yeah, luckily I made it in time."

The red ghosts gathered behind the person who came in an instant.

Through the power of "networking", Shang Li can directly locate the position of the man in black through the wound left by Cui Lan and transmit it through the "network cable".

“?!”

The man in black was startled.

He sensed something was following him, and when he looked back, he saw only a palm covering his face.

Shang Li smiled and covered his eyes on the left and right.

His supernatural powers were activated, his senses were distorted, and the man in black suddenly lost his balance.

His left foot tripped and his right foot tripped, and his body fell heavily to the ground with a bang. Then he began to twitch violently like a fish that jumped onto dry land.

The clenched hands loosened, and the two pink-haired youths took the opportunity to gain their freedom.

Jiang Mingyu did not let down his guard immediately.

He quickly pulled out a pocket pistol from somewhere on his body and fired a bullet into the forehead of the man in black clothes. When he saw that the man was completely silent, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Jiang, who was standing beside Jiang Mingyu, saw Shang Li, who was floating in the air in a ghostly state, at the first sight.

"Brother Lili!"

He couldn't help but get excited, "Fortunately you came to save me!"

Jiang Mingyu: “?”

"Are you so scared that you're hallucinating?"

He looked up at the empty space and reached out to press Xiao Jiang's forehead. "Why are you shouting a dead person's name into the void? If you don't know, you might think he has returned as a ghost."

Shang Li: “?”

This is true to some extent.

But... I remember that I shouldn't have "shown up", so how did Xiao Jiang see me?

He twirled his hair and looked at Xiao Jiang.

But at this moment, Xiao Jiang suddenly seemed to admit that he was hallucinating and looked away.

"If you want to leave me, leave me. Leave me again~"

Jiang Mingyu patted his knees and stood up. He couldn't help but use a finger to push down Xiao Jiang who wanted to stand up with him. He said with a disgusted tone, "Why do I speak so coquettishly in the parallel world?"

"I didn't give you this nickname."

Xiao Jiang covered his head and muttered.

Jiang Mingyu raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something else, but suddenly he heard footsteps approaching quickly.

"Are you all right?"

Cui Lan hurried over and stood in front of the two of them.

In just a moment, the man in black had no time to leave Lu's house.

The land residence is huge and naturally has more than just one building. At this moment, they are near a relatively small villa in the west.

The surrounding area is full of lush tall trees and shrubs. Even in the cold season, they are still lush dark green, as if they are not affected by the climate at all.

Glancing at the black clothes with a hole on the forehead, Cui Lan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Mingyu narrowed his eyes at the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of him.

He raised the pocket gun with one hand and pointed it at Cui Lan, and with the other hand he pulled Xiao Jiang behind him and slowly backed away.

"elder brother!"

Xiao Jiang's eyes lit up, and then he shrank back behind another self.

He thought his plan to sneak into the basement had failed, and said in a sullen tone, "You're here too."

Cui Lan nodded briefly.

He silently turned his gaze to the hostile Jiang Mingyu.

Jiang Mingyu was also looking up and down at this "brother" whom he didn't know at all.

"It seems that there is indeed a big difference between us."

He muttered under his breath.

"Excuse me for interrupting you, gentlemen."

Shang Li couldn't hold it back any longer, and his voice was transmitted directly to everyone's mind, "Why don't we deal with this guy in black clothes first, and then go back to the main house and sit down and talk it out?"

Anyway, things have come to this point, it doesn’t matter whether I show up or not.

Shang Li whistled in his heart, feeling like he had thrown away the whole thing.

Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Mingyu turned his head abruptly.

Seeing the ghost with its feet off the ground, its clothes bright as if stained with blood, and its eyes deep red, his pupils trembled.

"Good evening."

Shang Li smiled and gave a light greeting to the Xiao Jiang before his restart.

“You, you are not…”

Jiang Mingyu's face suddenly lost color and his body began to shake, "Are you faking your death?!"

Shang Li glanced at Cui Lan and Xiao Jiang and said calmly, "He's really dead."

Hearing this, Jiang Mingyu slowly turned his head, pursed his lips and laughed.

Seeing this lost state, the ghost subconsciously looked at his wife who had just completely annihilated the man in black clothes with a long knife.

Cui Lan expressed silent condemnation with her eyes, while he showed an innocent expression.

"After all, we will soon return to our own timeline. In this Xiao Jiang's world, we are no longer here."

He said helplessly to his wife in his heart: "Even in this situation, he is still very strong-willed."

It was indeed beyond Shang Li's expectation that his younger brother would become like this before his recovery.

Neither Long Aotian's narration nor the plot provided by 031 described in detail what Jiang Mingyu experienced after Shang Li's death, although the entire text only contains a few lines of words.

It is only briefly said that he has been away from normal life since then, and became a member of an underground supernatural organization as an ordinary person, and finally became cannon fodder.

But now that he really saw it, Shang Li suddenly realized that Xiao Jiang, who had always had a gentle personality, could grow up to be like this.

"You are very lucky."

Over there, Jiang Mingyu turned his head to look at Xiao Jiang who was holding his fingers, and laughed again, guessing that this Shang Li was also from a parallel world.

Maybe the two people standing next to him came here just for him.

He squeezed his eyes and said, "Why are you jealous of me?"

After saying that, he pulled his hand away and walked back alone.

——

On the other hand, Lu Yao used all means possible and quickly searched the entire Lu residence.

There is no Xiao Jiang, no Shang Li, no Cui Lan, and no Ye Bai.

"You guys... only cause me trouble."

He returned to the basement, panting, and sat on a chair with his legs spread.

"I am the only one who worries about everyone. I am so shameless." Lu Yao held his head and rubbed it hard. "Damn it, am I the father of all of you?"

"I eat my food and use my things, but I still have to be on my guard all day long in case something bad happens. This is really the retribution for the sins I committed in my last life."

Lu Yao lit a cigarette and took a few deep puffs.

"call……"

He slowly exhaled a smoke ring, trying to calm himself down, then reached out and pressed twice on a certain spot on the wall.

"Card--"

A small secret compartment then appeared in the wall.

There was only an old notebook in the secret compartment.

The notebook was at least two fingers thick. The originally clean, white, and smooth pages were now yellowed and curled, and it was obvious that it had been read countless times.

Lu Yao gently picked up the notebook, held a cigarette in his mouth and began to read.

Hundreds of pages were filled with words written in pencil, all by his own hand.

In fact, Lu Yao has memorized every word in the passage accurately. Even if he were asked to write it backwards now, he could still recite the entire passage without hesitation.

But the man still looked slowly and carefully.

"Found it..."

After a while, Lu Yao stared at the line of words that were different from his memory, and his fingers slowly rubbed on the rough paper.

The content inside was exactly his memory after he came out of a meeting.

[Speaking of that brother (actually I think he is mentally ill, but I dare not say it in front of Yuyu), Yuyu seems to be in a bad mood and wants to sit in the study room alone.]

[In fact, I know that he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to steal my business secrets and sell them to the Lin family, and use this opportunity to control me, but it doesn’t matter. In fact, I have already replaced the information with fake ones, and he can’t get out of my hands. ]

[But after Yuyu left, I was not in a good mood either. ]

[It was really boring to stay alone in an empty place, so I decided to go talk to Yuyu to relieve my boredom. It didn't matter even if he beat me up (after all, he didn't have much strength, so he wouldn't be able to beat me even if he really wanted to:D). ]

[When I arrived at the study, he was sitting in the chair in front of my desk, his whole body curled up, looking...]

What follows is a bunch of flattery praising her appearance.

But when Lu Yao looked at the text which seemed to be extremely normal, his brows not only did not relax, but became even more furrowed.

Because he remembered clearly that it was at this time that Jiang Mingyu was abducted quietly.

When he opened the door of the study, he saw that his partner was gone, only an empty room and a footprint on the window.

What a pity, I don’t have the so-called “prophetic” power. All I have are these memories.

Lu Yao closed his notebook and took another deep puff of cigarette.

I remember... the little thing named Ye Bai's ability is to rewind?

Lu Yao thought of the young undercover agent who was obviously arranged by Shang Li to enter his room.

It was a mistake. I didn't expect that in just two months, he had already developed such great abilities that he could even bring down Cui Lan, who possessed top-level superpowers.

I thought it would take at least another year to reach the level we are at now.

Fortunately, it is still within the scope of solvability. Don't mess things up for me anymore.

Lu Yao turned on his cell phone, flipped to the last person in the address book, and dialed the number.

“Beep, beep, beep—”

The phone was quickly connected.

"Hello?"

The young man on the other end of the phone had a youthful voice and seemed to be in his early twenties. "Mr. Lu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Transfer to the human machine."

“…”

The young man was silent.

When he spoke again, his voice was still the same, but his tone had become familiar and frivolous, "What do you want from me, Brother Fu?"

"I'm calling you to clean up the mess you made."

Lu Yao said coldly: "They ran to the old world line."

"I told you not to reveal those things. We just had to do it between the two of us. But you insisted. Now things are really getting out of control."

"So what? This is a good situation."

Long Aotian chuckled twice, "Uncontrollable development is not necessarily a bad thing. Besides, people have their own ideas. Why do you have such a strong possessive desire for what others do?"

"You don't feel pain until you get it on yourself."

Lu Yao was unmoved. "You have until dawn to get those people back to the current world line, otherwise you will be homeless on the street at noon."

"You guys just want to take this opportunity to take revenge on me."

Long Aotian couldn't help but complain, and sighed, "To be honest, Xiaolu, I'm not unaware of what happened, your elder brother."

"They successfully rescued your ex-wife. Isn't that a good thing?"

"It's a pity that I can only live in the present."

Lu Yao's tone became even colder, "And my current wife may also repeat the same mistake."

"Why can't you think positively?" Long Aotian said.

After that, he changed the subject and said, "Okay, v me 50 labor fees first."

“…”

"drop."

Lu Yao silently transferred 5,000 to this person's account.
