After this incident, naturally they couldn't eat well. Everyone quickly finished the fight, ate up the meat and side dishes in front of them, and returned to their respective residences. The Shield Wolf Riders who were guests stayed in the simple houses near the War Riders residential area to rest.
As the leader, Qizidar had been arguing with Zhang Mu in a drinking contest from the very beginning. Zhang Mu took out the plant wine, and after three bowls, Qizidar was knocked down. He was then carried back to the marching tent by his shield cavalry.
Ha Chimu had already explained everything, Uncle Peng had already left, and only Ha Chimu and Zhang Mu were left in the open-air restaurant. Zhang Mu then expressed some of his thoughts.
"Ha, brother Chimu, the measures you just ordered Uncle Peng to take are actually very appropriate, but I have a different idea."
Zhang Mu raised his wine bowl and clinked it with Hachimu's, then spoke slowly.
Ha Chimu showed a hint of doubt in his eyes. After drinking the wine in the bowl, he looked at Zhang Mu and said, "Brother Zhang Mu, just tell me what's going on. There's no need to beat around the bush and make me think."
"Well, what I mean is that the series of measures you just deployed, brother Akagi, are all aimed at preventing this perverted killer from taking action. If it was in the capital, he would not dare to take action again. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to attack those teenagers ten kilometers away from the branch city.
But brother Akagi, this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure."
Ha Chimu was even more puzzled, and put down his wine bowl and asked, "Brother, I don't quite understand what you mean. How can this only treat the symptoms and not the root cause? I will find this person when I block the city.
If you, brother Zhang Mu, are worried that you won’t be able to find it, then that’s even more impossible.
Together with Qiqidar's shield wolf riders, there are more than 2,000 people. If they search the small area of Yijinhuoluo Banner one by one, they can turn the ground upside down. How can they not find it?"
Zhang Mu did not interrupt him, but drank silently. After he finished speaking, he looked up at him and said, "Ha, brother Chimu, have you ever thought about what if he is a second-level evolver who is extremely good at hiding? Or maybe he is not in the branch city at all, and is wandering around the periphery after committing the crime.
If my guess is correct, this person should not only be able to kill teenagers without awakening abilities, but teenager is a characteristic he needs. Both of his crimes were against teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old, taking away their hearts and spines.
If he wasn't trying to cover up something, I don't think it would be necessary. In other words, his real purpose was to take the hearts and backbones of these teenagers who were around fifteen or sixteen years old.
Brother, you also know the unpredictability of awakening abilities, and the ability to conceal is too common. If the opponent is a second-level evolver with concealment ability, it is not very reliable to rely on using mutant beasts to smell the scent, and it will alert the enemy instead. "
Zhang Mu knew much more about awakening abilities than Ha Chimu. In Ha Chimu's mind, he thought that the dog's nose must be sharp, but this was only for those evolvers who did not have the ability to hide. Once hiding was attached to the evolvers as an awakening ability, it would not be so easy to be discovered.
Seeing that Ha Chimu began to think, Zhang Mu continued, "Why do I say that he is only treating the symptoms but not the root cause? It is because you, Ha Chimu, can't find it even with the power of the whole city.
I can't find it these days, what about after that? Will it be blocked forever?
It's impossible, unless you can ensure that everyone has enough food to eat, then it's possible to let them be content and live as parasites, but now is the end of the world, brother, you know it's impossible. "
Ha Chimu suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Zhang Mu, you must have your way of saying this. I just told you to say it directly, but you are beating around the bush. If you have a better idea, just do as you say."
Zhang Mu spread his hands helplessly and said, "You are the mayor of this Yijinhuoluo Banner branch city, I cannot do anything beyond your authority. Even if I really want to give you advice, I should do it as a counselor.
As a counselor, I naturally have to explain it to my lord. Don’t you think so, lord? "
The two smiled at each other and continued to drink. What they drank now were just ordinary drinks, which had no effect on either of them.
"Okay, now you can speak, brother Zhang Mu. I feel like you are speaking and doing things in the Central Plains way, but I don't mind that at all. I feel like if we continue like this, you will lead me astray."
"Most people in the Central Plains are good people. You're just unlucky. You haven't met anyone with the same temper as me before. No, no, if we keep talking, it's going to escalate into homosexuality."
Zhang Mu smiled and continued, "My idea is to release a batch of bait and lure him into the trap again. By the way, brother, Uncle Peng should know the measures you want to take now, so he doesn't have to do this.
. "
Ha Chimu frowned and said, "Well, I just asked him to give the order tomorrow. After running back and forth for the past two days, let the soldiers rest for a night. I will just tell Uncle Peng when I go back.
But is the fishing you just mentioned feasible? The news will surely get out now. Will he still commit crimes against the wind?"
Zhang Mu nodded slightly and said, "If he still needs it, he will definitely do it again. Of course, Brother Akagi, you have to pretend that you know about it but don't really want to intervene.
People with ability are always proud. Even if they know there are certain risks, they won't take it to heart. If you want to mobilize the power of the entire city, he will definitely hide for a while. Just keep this a secret. As for the safety of the teenagers who serve as bait, I can guarantee it. "
Ha Chimu looked at him doubtfully and said, "Brother Zhang Mu, you are a little too confident. Are you drunk? According to what you said, the other party is a second-level awakening evolver with the ability of concealment. In such a close range, can he not find your trace?
We, the second-level evolvers, are still very sensitive to breath. What's more, brother Zhang Mu, you are also an evolver with the ability to hide. Seeing you following behind, he is not stupid and will naturally not show up.
Isn't this plan a failure? If we use this method, the life of the bait cannot be guaranteed."
Zhang Mu shook his head and said slowly, "If they can avoid death, try not to let them die. If one dies now, there will be one less human being."
"As for how to follow them, of course it's not me who will do it."
"What is that?"
Bang!
Zhang Mu smiled without saying anything, took out a pitch-black object from his arms and slapped it on the table.
Ha Chimu took a closer look, stared at it in disbelief and said, "Brother Zhang Mu, please don't tease me. Isn't this your obsidian worm?"
“That’s it!”
The obsidian worm's concealment ability is innate. Unless the person is at level three, it is impossible to detect the obsidian worm that has completely concealed its aura. All it takes is for the obsidian worm to hide in the backpacks of those teenagers without them noticing, and it will be able to protect them completely.
Who knows, it might be able to kill the murderer by itself!
It is inconspicuous but powerful enough. It is a perfect prop for killing, arson, assassination, and home travel.
