Chapter 168 Chaos Block No. 13 (25) New Skill: Rebirth...
Li Jian was watching the morning news. The news was reporting that abnormal energy fluctuations were occurring in the Qingya Street sewers, and that people nearby should get away as quickly as possible.
"Dad, that eunuch is far worse than you. He has only been in office for a few days, and this has happened."
Li Ren smiled and said nothing.
In his son's heart, his image is glorious and great. He is the protector of the city. Only by relying on his grace can the people live and work in peace and contentment.
How could Li Jian have thought, and how could he believe, that the "abnormal energy fluctuations" on Qingya Street were caused by Li Ren himself.
The doorbell rang, and Huang Xiaoxiao said through the intercom: "Director Li, regarding today's Qingya Street inspection, Director Meng is not very familiar with some of the business, and needs to consult you."
Li Ren's expression changed suddenly.
"Ha!" Li Jian laughed loudly. "He is nominally the chief, but doesn't he know how to do his job?"
"Boss, are you home?"
Li Renmu stood up in a daze and opened the door: "I have resigned."
"Please help us again," Huang Xiaoxiao smiled modestly, "Mr. Meng, I just want to ask you a few questions."
If Li Ren had made up his mind to resign, he would definitely not go, and he would have no reason to go.
But Li Ren's resignation was actually a retreat to advance. He was just waiting for Meng Fei to fall, so that he could take the opportunity to step on him and then return to his original position.
Meng Fei asked him for advice, but Li Ren refused. After the incident, Meng Fei accused him of not doing a good job of handing over the matter, and Li Ren could not get away with it.
"What's the problem?" Li Ren asked.
Huang Xiaoxiao: "It's about the allocation of security team personnel. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."
"I only go to the courtroom and nowhere else."
Huang Xiaoxiao: "Please go to the courtroom. Excuse me."
It shouldn't be a big problem if we just go to the courtroom. Li Ren changed his clothes, picked up the car keys, and before leaving, he told his son to stay at home and not to wander around.
To get to the courtroom from the neighborhood where Li Ren lived, one had to go through a roundabout under the bridge. Early in the morning, in a dangerous city, there were few people on the street. Only Li Ren's car drove under the bridge and turned left along the bridge pier...
A sudden impact.
The car body flew out to the side and hit the bridge pier. The car window was broken, and a hand reached in and opened the door from the inside, then roughly pulled Li Ren down and hit him on the back of the neck with a palm, knocking him unconscious.
Huang Xiaoxiao, who was driving, was confused.
"Who is this?" Zuo Feng pointed at him and asked, "Do you want to tie him up?"
Gao Mengtang: “Take them all away.”
"Don't kill...ah!" Huang Xiaoxiao screamed and was knocked unconscious.
*
Not long after Li Ren left, Wei Wei appeared at his door.
One of He Luo's tentacles drilled into the keyhole, and his arms and legs twisted around trying to unlock the door. At the same time, he turned into Li Ren's appearance.
Click, the door opened.
Li Jian, who was watching the news, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Dad, didn't you go out?"
"I'll come back and take you with me. Let's go to the courtroom with dad." Li Ren said.
Just as a smile appeared on Li Jian's face, he saw Wei Wei behind "Li Ren" and his smile disappeared.
"Don't be angry yet," Li Ren put his arm around Li Jian's shoulders and whispered, "Meng Fei wants to train a successor. He wants to take you to get familiar with the work. You are almost grown up."
"Get familiar with the job!" Li Jian's eyes lit up. "Am I going to work in the courtroom?"
"Of course, you are my son, if you don't go, who will?" Li Ren smiled proudly.
Li Jian followed happily. He sat in the back seat of Wei Wei's car, fastened his seat belt, and kept moving around: "Will I join the Epidemic Prevention Department?"
"That's right, you are Chief Li's son, very suitable." Wei Wei said while driving.
Li Jian is 14 years old and in junior high school. For a teenager like him with ideals and ambitions, being able to get involved in the work of his beloved father is extremely tempting.
Along the way, Li Jian had imagined 100 times how majestic he would look when he put on the court uniform.
When he actually took over the court uniform, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Dad, don't you want me to not work too early and want me to go to high school?" Li Jian picked up the badge of the court and looked at it over and over again.
Li Ren glanced at Wei Wei who was not far away and whispered, "We are short of manpower now. If you join us, you can be a comrade-in-arms with Dad. What's the point of studying? If you don't have any skills when you are 18 or 19 years old, you might as well get involved in work earlier."
Being a comrade-in-arms with my father! The sudden happiness made Li Jian dizzy. He couldn't wait to put on the court uniform. When he took the energy compression ray gun, he straightened his body proudly.
He is a member of the Judgment Hall, he is also a warrior, he can get honor!
After assembling, the security team lined up and entered the armored vehicle. Li Jian sat in the passenger seat and Wei Wei was driving.
"Where's my dad?" Li Jian stuck his head out of the car window and tried to look back.
"He is responsible for remote command. You don't have to worry. I will protect you." Wei Wei said.
Who do you think you are? I am a man, and I need eunuchs to protect me? Li Jian curled his lips in disdain.
Wei Wei glanced at him and said, "Don't stick your head out. I'm going to close the window."
The window went up and there was a slight click from the door. The door was locked, and the car was airtight.
Li Jian suddenly felt something was not right.
*
Sewer entrance.
"Chief!"
The security team members lined up to salute Wei Wei, placing their right hands in front of their left chests and bowing forty-five degrees.
Wei Wei nodded, and two people helped him put on a protective helmet: "Xiao Jian, will you come with me?"
Li Jian hesitated a little as the stench hit him. In his imagination, he was in the vanguard, making the enemy flee, instead of sweeping the sewers.
"I……"
"Put a helmet on him," Wei Wei didn't even listen to his answer, "As Li Ren's son, he has great potential. The young are to be feared."
At this point, they had to go to the sewer. Li Jian was held down by several people and put on a helmet. Several employees advised Wei Wei to stay outside and give orders, but Wei Wei refused.
A week later, they returned to the sewer. Last time, they came here to clean up the Tongxin vines. They were paid 15,000 yuan for the job, but after two rounds of extortion, they only got 2,000 yuan.
This time, Wei Wei didn't have to do it himself. The security team rushed to stand in front of him, fearing that the general would come into contact with something dirty.
"There's a crack ahead," the security guard said, "Captain, be careful."
The wall of the sewer pipe, which was thicker than the palm of a hand, had a lightning-shaped crack, and the cut was very neat. Wei Wei looked up and asked, "Was it man-made damage?"
"We suspect so."
Wei Wei: "How do you work and damage the pipeline?"
"I'm sorry, we must adjust the situation as soon as possible," the security team member lowered his head, "Pipeline cracks will cause a series of problems, pipeline deformation, and pollution of nearby soil. The most serious is the spread of Tongxin vines, which like soil. Before we found the cracks, there should have been many Tongxin vines entering the soil in the city from here."
Wei Wei: “What’s the solution?”
"Repair the pipeline immediately. Evacuate the people, block the entire area, dig up the soil, dig out the tongxin vines, and burn them thoroughly with fire to kill their seeds."
"Where is this place?" Wei Wei asked.
"The commercial center of District 13, near Qinglan Restaurant." The security guard replied.
Qinglan Restaurant, Dai Yinyin's business. Fate is really strange, and they have to deal with this person who took away 80% of their salary.
Everyone turned around and walked out. Wei Wei said, "Let's follow your plan and evacuate the people first."
"Captain, it's a bit difficult..." said the security guard. "The owner of Qinglan Restaurant, Dai Yinyin, has a very tough attitude. We went in every time and were kicked out every time."
If the business is suspended, there will be no money to be made, but life is not more important than money? Why is Dai Yinyin unwilling to leave?
"Did you tell them that there would be danger?" Wei Wei asked.
Security guard: "I told her. I told her that this place would become the infection zone for Tong Xin Teng, but she still refused to leave. She would rather die than move..."
Halfway through the words, a "drip drip" sound appeared amid the gurgling sound of flowing water.
Li Jian was startled and held the flamethrower tightly: "What's that sound!"
Beep beep.
Didi.
Is an accident coming?
Under the protective suit, Wei Wei clenched the resurrection coin in his palm, and He Luo's arms and legs wrapped around his fingers.
The lightning-shaped cracks emitted white light, just like lightning, followed by a loud noise that was enough to make a person's head explode.
The search team, wearing heavy protective clothing, faced a powerful impact force, like a plastic bag blown up by the wind. The heat wave scorched the metal surface of the protective clothing, and the air wave caused numbness and pain in their internal organs and limbs.
For a moment, he was temporarily blinded by the bright light and temporarily deafened by the loud noise. Wei Wei only felt his body lightly floating up, and He Luo wrapped around his body, which felt sticky and slightly cool.
He used the Skill Wheel by muscle memory.
System: "New skills are loading..."
Must succeed.
"Run successfully."
"Congratulations to [101 Body Cleansing Master] for obtaining the new skill [Reborn]"
Skill Description: Take off the tire, replace the bones, mend your past mistakes, and start a new life.
: The purifier uses [Reborn] on himself. If the purifier dies within 5 minutes, he will be resurrected immediately with full status. Cooldown time is 30 days. The purifier can also use this skill on other players. And can only revive other players once.
: The skill seems to have side effects, what are they... This requires you to explore it yourself.
The improved skills still had some minor problems, and Wei Wei didn't know what the side effects were. Inside the airtight protective suit, his body had been blown into pieces, his neck was broken, and his arms were also broken.
Now, I can only pray that the side effects aren't too serious.
*
At noon, the dazzling sunlight shone on the blue-gray ruins. Wisps of white smoke rose from the collapsed rubble. Two hours ago, those sturdy and neat buildings were all turned into debris on the ground.
The fully armed search team is looking for survivors with instruments.
Li Ren saw the above scene on the news.
In the basement of the old mansion, Li Ren's hands were chained to the handrails, and a collar was buckled around his neck to suppress the power of his ID card. When he saw the ruins, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
News station host: "The incident has caused heavy casualties. So far, 67 people have died and 298 people have been seriously injured. Meng Fei, director general of the Epidemic Prevention and Control Bureau, was unfortunately killed. Rescue workers are doing their best to search for his whereabouts."
Li Ren smiled even more happily.
Gao Mengtang, Bai Jie, Duan Song, and Tu Cheng were all so nervous that their hearts jumped into their throats. Wei Wei's head was still lit, but the explosion was too violent.
The explosion point was 2km away from the old mansion. They also heard a loud bang, the floor shook, and the chandelier swayed.
It was a series of explosions, and the 500-meter sewer pipe was instantly blown into a deep pit.
They didn't use ordinary explosives, but modified explosives, which would cause fatal damage to the players. Wei Wei's defense was not very good to begin with, and Xiao Canglan couldn't withstand that kind of power...
Zuo Feng came to the basement hopping. His legs were amputated at the knees, and his calves and feet were made of elastic material bent into hook shapes. He jumped three meters high and hit the ceiling directly.
"Black Prince, someone wants to see you."
Gao Mengtang: "Who is it?"
"I don't know her. She's a woman." Zuo Feng rubbed the big bump on his head. "I asked her who she was and she said she was the one who killed Qin Xishuang. Who is Qin Xishuang?"
Wasn't it Wei Wei who killed Qin Xishuang? Gao Mengtang and his teammates looked at each other in bewilderment, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
Wei Wei changed his appearance again?
"Let her in."
Not long after, Zuo Feng led a girl in. She was about 1.6 meters tall, with a slightly childish face and a little baby fat on her cheeks. She had a half-tied bun and wore a tight black waistcoat and light pink overalls.
At first glance, he looked cute, but his expression was serious, his brows were furrowed, and he looked mature. Behind him was a bloodstained corpse wearing a protective suit.
"Is Li Ren here with you?" The girl raised her head and looked at Gao Mengtang.
Gao Mengtang: "Um... little sister, who are you?"
"Little Sister" glanced at Zuo Feng next to her.
Zuo Feng suddenly forgot that he had just had lunch 20 minutes ago, and shouted loudly: "I'm so hungry, so hungry, let's go have lunch."
He climbed the stairs in two or three steps, and once hit the ceiling, and a second big bump appeared on his head.
He grabbed Duan Chang who was passing by and said: "I want to tell you a big secret."
Broken Heart: "What? Are you playing dumb? This is no secret."
"The Black Prince's girlfriend is here!" Zuo Feng's eyes were full of gossip, "Sweet and cool little sister, she's pretty!"
Heartbroken: "Ah???"
The sweet and cool little sister grabbed the corpse's ankle with one hand and looked at Gao Mengtang seriously: "I want to see Li Ren, thank you for leading the way."
Gao Mengtang: “…”
Duan Song:?
Bai Jie:!
Tu Cheng: “Hahahaha!”
"You, can't be..." Gao Mengtang couldn't believe it, "Wei Wei?"
Wei Wei took a deep breath and said, "It is me. The side effect of [Rebirth] has caused me to temporarily change into another appearance."
*
"Look at this person, do you know him?" Wei Wei threw the corpse at Li Ren's feet.
Li Ren thought Meng Fei was killed in the explosion, and he was in a good mood, with a sinister smile on his face, as if he had succeeded in his evil plan. Until Wei Wei pulled off the helmet of the corpse.
Inside was a flattened skull, the surface human tissue was in a semi-liquefied state, the eyeballs had dissolved, and the lips had shrunk, revealing black, crooked teeth.
Li Ren seemed to think that the man looked familiar and stared at him for a long time. Then Wei Wei picked out the tag that man was wearing around his neck. The ID was 907432.
That's his son's ID.
He raised his head and roared like a wild beast, stamping his feet and struggling frantically with his locked arms.
"My son! My son!" Li Ren pulled the chair over, half-crouched on the ground, squirming like a maggot, and moved closer to his son. "How could he become like this? What did you do?"
"I should ask you what you did. He was killed in the explosion." Wei Wei took out the resurrection coin and said, "Announce the deal between you and Fu Yi, and I will revive your son."
Li Ren suddenly raised his head. His eyes were red, his cheeks were bloodshot, and his expression was ferocious, as if he was the one who was burned by the high temperature of the explosion. "Who are you to Meng Fei? Why do you have a resurrection coin?"
There are only three resurrection coins in the entire courtroom, all of which are in An Ning's hands. Anyone with a resurrection coin must be someone special.
"Will you trade with me?" Wei Wei asked calmly.
"Answer me!" Li Ren fell to the ground and cried loudly, "Why was my son killed in the explosion..."
Wei Wei put away the resurrection coin: "If we don't need it, let's go bury him now."
"No! No!" Li Ren was so anxious that he bit Wei Wei's light pink overalls with his teeth. "Go find the reporters now. I'll hold a press conference and revive him! Please, revive him. Li Jian is a good boy."
Wei Wei finally smiled: "I know, he is a good kid. The press conference will be ready at noon."
"Can you please resurrect my son first? Please. Please." Li Ren burst into tears.
"No." Wei Wei smiled and said, "The initiative is in my hands."
*
The noon news two hours later was extended by 30 minutes due to the Qinglan Street explosion and a press conference held by former Director-General of Epidemic Prevention and Control Li Ren.
In dozens of shots, Li Ren sat in the chairman's seat, with an energy suppression collar around his neck, and two bloody marks on his hands on the table from the handcuffs. He was dusty, depressed, and haggard, with white hair, as if he had aged 20 years in an instant.
"I am the mastermind behind the Qinglan Street explosion." Li Ren's emotions were numb and his tone was flat.
But his words caused a huge uproar.
"In order to frame General Manager Meng Fei, I colluded with Guangming Pharmaceutical Factory's partner Fu Yi and got him to plant explosives to detonate the sewer pipe. I did this to make Meng Fei take the responsibility."
"Fuyi cooperated with me in order to spread the Tongxin vine and sell the No. 04 blocker at a high price."
"My behavior was despicable and my crimes were heinous. I deserve to die." Li Ren stood up and bowed deeply 90 degrees. "I also received the punishment I deserved. My son died in the explosion."
"I am willing to accept any punishment from the Court of Justice. I just hope that if there is an angel, you can be kind to my son." Li Ren stood up, looked at the camera, and stared at them through the screen, "My son is innocent, please be kind."
The reporters attending the press conference were furious and kept cursing on the spot, asking questions one after another. Li Ren explained clearly what he had done.
After the press conference, the guards took Li Ren away.
"Now that one problem is solved, I can take a break." Wei Wei sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking.
Gao Mengtang hesitated and said, "Resurrection Coin..."
"Don't give it to Li Jian." Wei Wei said decisively, "Cut the grass and root it out, leaving a descendant for Li Ren, and wait for him to seek revenge on me."
Zuo Feng glanced at her for a moment, quite surprised: "Girls still smoke?"
Wei Wei: "A woman is missing half of her lung? Why can't she have a smoker?"
Zuo Feng said "Oh" awkwardly.
After a while, he probably felt that his mouth had to be used frequently, otherwise it would get rusty easily: "Black Prince, she, she is not your girlfriend, then who is it?"
Zuo Feng spread the news that "Black Prince's girlfriend is here" everywhere.
When Gao Geng came over, it seemed as if one of his brother's girlfriend and the earth must explode today, but it ended up being a big misunderstanding.
"My friend, just an ordinary friend." Gao Mengtang said, "I'm here to stay for two days and will leave soon."
The skill system showed that Wei Wei would turn back to his original form in about two days. During this period, he could not use any skills, so it was not suitable for him to return to the courtroom. He also did not know how to explain that Meng Fei was in the center of the explosion but was not killed and turned into a girl. It would be better to delay it and make up a lie before going back.
Zuo Feng was depressed: "Then how do you call your girlfriend... a female friend."
Gao Mengtang suddenly had a bit of a bad taste in his mouth: "Ruan Mengmeng. You can also call her Little Cake."
Wei Wei stopped smoking, turned his head and glared at Gao Mengtang. If it was Wei Wei's original appearance, his fox eyes would be quite intimidating.
But Wei Wei has turned into a little girl with round eyes and baby fat, and even when she stares, she looks like she is being cute.
"Oh, what a nice name!" Zuo Feng cheered, "Sister Cake, whatever you like to eat, I'll get it for you."
Wei Wei rolled his eyes, which made Zuo Feng even more excited.
That night, Li Ren was beheaded in the square outside the chess room, and Li Jian's body was buried in the backyard. The Axe Man celebrated with wine.
At the beginning of the drinking party, they were teasing Wei Wei by calling him "little cake" one by one. Two hours later, they lay down together and wanted to say some jokes, but when they opened their mouths, they only burped.
Little Cake poured himself a drink with bold and unrestrained movements.
Before the explosion began, Wei Wei instructed Helunhei that if he lost contact, he should let the brother and sister leave the courtroom early.
The news said Meng Fei was missing, and He Lun and He Yi were also very obedient and slipped away during the chaos. Gao Mengtang was afraid that something might happen to them, so he asked Bai Jie to look for them in the morning.
At this time, Bai Jie came back and pushed open the door excitedly: "Boss, I found He Lun and... He Yi."
She immediately noticed the "girl" next to Gao Mengtang.
The chandelier in the old mansion emitted a soft, warm light, which fell on the baby face, giving the skin a honey-like texture. The airy bangs were blown by the wind outside the door, floating gently, revealing a smooth and delicate forehead.
She had her hair tied in a messy bun, and when she drank, the hair would tremble. The loose hair on the sides of her face was casually tucked behind her ears, and the ends of her hair brushed against her pouty cheeks.
The girl glanced at Bai Jie indifferently, then looked away nonchalantly, poured herself another glass, and drank it all in one gulp, with the ice cubes hitting the glass, making a clinking sound.
When being looked at by her round eyes, Bai Jie inexplicably forgot to breathe and kept staring at her.
When she raised her slender neck, her skin was stretched very thin, and the pale blue veins could be seen. The hand holding the bottle was small and soft, with no obvious joints and a little chubby.
The clinking sound of the ice cubes hitting the wine glass seemed to ring a wake-up call.
Bai Jie shuddered, suddenly came to his senses, and laughed unconsciously.
Bai Jie secretly moved closer to her, thinking to himself that she was like a round-faced kitten, licking the water in the bowl intently. When someone approached, she would twist her neck and stare at them with her round eyes. She was cute and wild at the same time.
"Sister, good evening." Bai Jie felt that his voice was very strange, as if he had forgotten how to speak.
The "girl" glanced at him: "Sister?"
"Ah, yes. Um," Bai Jie didn't know where to put his hands, "You can drink quite well. I mean, my name is Bai Jie."
"Didn't you tell him?" Wei Wei turned his head and looked at Gao Mengtang.
Gao Mengtang shook his head and tried to take away Wei Wei's wine glass: "Don't drink anymore, it's bad for your health..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Jie suddenly held Gao Mengtang's arm. He looked even more nervous: "Um, Boss, do you know him?"
Gao Mengtang's hand almost touched Wei Wei's hand.
Gao Mengtang looked at his held arm and suddenly understood what was going on. He withdrew his hand and put on a polite smile, looking like he was watching a good show.
"What's your name?" Bai Jie asked tremblingly.
"Wei Wei."
"What a coincidence! I have a teammate named Wei Wei." Bai Jie's eyes sparkled, "How do you write your Wei Wei?"
Wei Wei looked at Gao Mengtang again, and that expression meant: He's too stupid, I can't keep him.
"I am the deputy leader of Yuefan, Wei Wei."
Bai Jie blinked his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"Please turn on the system's [View Information] function." The girl kept smiling.
When players meet for the first time, they will see the light characters on each other's ID cards above their heads. As they meet more often, the light characters will be hidden by default, but the [View Information] function will make the hidden light characters appear again.
Bai Jie turned on the function and looked up, and saw the words [101 Cleansing Master] on "sister's" head.
"Any more questions?" Wei Wei smiled more gently.
Everyone in the room witnessed the moment when Bai Jie went from being overjoyed at first sight to being petrified in an instant. They seemed to hear the sound of Bai Jie's little heart "snapping" and breaking in two.
He Lun and He Yi came to their senses, fell on the sofa, and rolled around with laughter.
