Chapter 273

Eric forwarded the message to the small group of five people.

Eric: [There is indeed a problem. Let’s start fishing.]

The dosage of the special truth serum prepared by Hao Zhizhi was very small, because the Taoist priest was quite alert, and she was afraid that he might notice something was wrong if she gave him too much. This dosage would only make him tell the truth more easily than usual. Although it would slightly interfere with a person's judgment, if he did not have greed in his heart, he would not be so easily lured.

Yu Tu raised a reasonable question: [What if he is just selling fake goods? ]

Eric: [The detection array indicates that it is harmful, and the light red and light white symbols have reactions.]

Eric: [What's even more strange is that Gu Hongying actually drew a lucky number from his stall.]

Gu Hongying: […? ]

Gu Hongying: [Eric, you include me? ]

Eric: [Not the connotation, but the implication.]

Gu Hongying: [……]

Hao Zhizhi: [Eric, you can act out a half-understanding attitude towards him, and the degree is up to you.]

Hao Zhizhi: [We will set up a stall tomorrow and get more solid evidence, then we can submit the mission.]

The mission of [Strange Taoist] requires them to confirm whether the old Taoist has done anything illegal. If he paid Eric a high price to sell fake green flies, then he has violated the laws of the surface world. If he paid Eric a high price to sell real ones... then he is doomed.

According to the Double Barrier Law, the purchase and sale of items related to the other world must be registered with the Alien Bureau and official approval must be obtained before it can be carried out. Most importantly, the green fly was officially declared extinct more than 30 years ago.

…

When it got dark, the Taoist closed his stall.

There was a lot of traffic in Lanyun City Ring Park today, so he got quite a few orders. His colleagues who were new to him packed up their stalls earlier than him and have gone home now.

The Taoist packed up his tables, chairs and benches and carried them to the parking lot. In the corner of the parking lot was a dilapidated silver-grey van. He threw his things on the back seat and started the car while humming a song.

The shabby silver-gray van drove further and further along the highway until it reached a dirt road in the suburbs. The Taoist priest parked the car in an open space and walked deeper into the deserted area, where there was a dilapidated building.

When the Taoist priest reached the dilapidated back building of the second-to-last building and was about to go up the stairs, he suddenly stopped. Although there was nothing unusual, he always felt that something was wrong, as if... someone else had been here.

He paused at the stairs for several seconds before continuing to climb calmly.

The building is not yet finished, but from the third floor upwards, the stairwells are all painted with light green paint. The paint smells a bit strange. If you say it is stinky, it smells very fragrant. If you say it is fragrant, the fragrance is tinged with a foul odor.

The Taoist priest was not at all uncomfortable with this fragrant yet stinky smell. When he reached the third floor, the expression on his face was even a little obsessed. The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated several times. The Taoist priest took out his phone and saw that his new fat sheep was very interested in the "green aphid money" he mentioned, so he asked him to send some photos to verify its authenticity.

The Taoist stared at the chat box for a long time before slowly replying, "Treasures only belong to those who are destined to receive them."

He did not have green fly money, but he had unique green fly blood.

The Taoist exaggerated the legend of the green fly to a certain extent and told it to the big fat sheep on the other side of the screen, implying that the monster green fly had disappeared completely long ago, and that he had the last green fly blood in the world in his hand. If one wanted such a precious treasure, he had to show his sincerity.

Taoist: [Qingxie paid 81 coins with his mother's blood, and 81 coins with his son's blood. He used the money to trade with the other party. He replaced the son with the mother, and replaced the mother with the son. The money was all paid back.]

He squinted his eyes as he typed. There was no one else here, so the greed on his face was clearly visible:

[Green flies fly back and forth, but they don’t necessarily have to be painted on the most common coins. 】

…

In the room, five heads were crowded together. The contents of Eric's watch were projected in the air. The Taoist priest on the other side of the screen was still trying to persuade Eric with his rhetoric:

[The blood of the green fly has been improved and its limitations have been removed. As long as you apply the blood of the green fly to two items separately and keep one of them, the other will definitely return to you within three days.]

[This precious treasure will be used up as it is. You don't have much time left to consider it. ]

"It's really cruel." Hao Zhizhi sighed, "Based on the content he sent, I don't even have to set up the stall tomorrow."

The evidence was so clear that they could just finish the mission and collect the points.

"I feel like he looks familiar." Yu Tu nudged Gu Hongying with his elbow, "It seems like I've seen him somewhere before."

Gu Hongying, whose flesh was itchy after being nagged by Yu Tu's elbow, turned away and said, "Don't mention it, I also think he looks familiar."

On the surface, Yu Tu had the support of the Marquis of Buye, so he knew a lot of information. Gu Hongying was being trained vigorously by all parties, with different people taking him for training every month, so he was well-informed.

The two of them stared at the screen projected in the air, and then they both suddenly realized: "Deer Shu fur!"

Yu Tu, in his capacity as the Marquis of Buye, read through the information compiled by the Alien Bureau regarding the causes and consequences of the Lu Shu fur incident, while Gu Hongying was forced to learn about various cases during his breaks from training.

Most of the degraded deer furs that flowed into the market came from underground auctions that had not been completely eliminated, and a small part came from a mysterious person. The mysterious person was cautious, and according to the restoration of the destroyed chat records, it can be seen that he was very good at guiding people's hearts. Compared with the mysterious person's words, the message sent by the Taoist to Eric was so crude that it was unbearable to read, but the style was the same, like a high-end version and a low-end version.

"I still had to be fooled by his salesmanship." Eric frowned and transferred some money to the Taoist priest. "I feel like a fool."

"Talk to him for a while, and try to make him feel that you are still worth being deceived." Yin Li's fingertips were moving with patterns, "Technology can't locate his current location, I will try to use the array method."

As a genius with an extraordinary understanding of battle formations who was almost targeted by Di Changqing, many people older than Yin Li may not be as talented as her. Water-attributed spiritual energy gathered at her fingertips and gradually took shape according to her wishes.

The complex array pattern changed from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one, and gradually became a road. While Yin Li was drawing the array, Hao Zhizhi picked up her computer to check the detailed map of Lanyun City. She was very fast, and while Eric was chatting with the Taoist priest, she had already found the location corresponding to the vague array pattern - the suburbs of Lanyun City, a group of abandoned, run-down buildings.

As soon as the result came out, the four people's eyes fell on Gu Hongying's face. Gu Hongying's mouth corners slowly straightened, and he jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, protesting: "This is a coincidence, it has nothing to do with me!"

The day before yesterday, they went to Wen Dao Hall to accept Class B missions. There were only two Class B missions, one was [Strange Taoist] and the other was [Green House]. At that time, Gu Hongying wanted to accept [Green House] based on his intuition, but in the end, everyone collectively chose [Strange Taoist].

"Look at the bright side, you're pretty good." Yu Tu comforted, "If we listened to you, we would have gone straight to his lair."

Gu Hongying: “…”

Gu Hongying: "TuTu, you comforted me very well. You don't need to comfort me next time."

After determining the Taoist's hiding place, Yin Li dispersed the formation: "What should we do now? Report or track him down?"

"Report everything first. The mission location [Green House] is most likely the Taoist's lair." Hao Zhizhi's brows wrinkled unconsciously. "B-level missions are quite popular. I'm worried about the safety of the team that will take on the mission."

It would be fine if they had finished their investigation and left, but it would be dangerous if they were still lingering around the unfinished building.

…

After getting a deposit of 100,000 yuan from the fat sheep and smelling the ubiquitous "paint" smell, the Taoist priest couldn't help but continue humming a song. He stood up from his sitting position and prepared to climb to the fourth floor.

When passing the platform on the fourth floor, the Taoist's nose twitched. His previous guess was right. Someone had really been here.

He stepped up slowly with his feet pressed down. There was a hole on the wall of the fifth floor with a long light green cloth hanging on the hole. The Taoist took something out of his arms and held it in his hand, slowly reaching towards the green cloth. When his knuckles were about to touch the cloth, he threw the thing in his hand onto the open space on the platform without any warning. With a loud bang and strange gray-black smoke, the figures of five people gradually appeared on the empty platform.

When the smoke cleared, five young-looking men and women were left standing there.

"Students from Chang'an Academy?" The Taoist priest's originally solemn expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and his tense shoulders also relaxed a little. "You are really like a newborn ox that is not afraid of a tiger."

Not only did the two men and three women he was staring at not show any panic expression, the look in the lead girl's eyes made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"How can he still maintain his sanity while gradually fusing with the alien beast?" Wen Qingjiu and her teammates had been waiting here for an entire afternoon. They had never expected to get such a big surprise. She carefully sensed the Taoist's aura, "Even the alien beast material being fused has a tendency to degenerate?"

If Li Guifan from Wen Qing's old team hadn't blown up the four buildings of Yu Yao Chun Chen during the experiment, their team's remaining points after averaging the deducted credits would have been in danger, so they had to sign up for the competition to take on tasks and earn credits. They wouldn't have encountered such a big surprise!

The Taoist priest was frightened by Wen Qingjiu's stare. He was about to raise his hand to teach these ignorant students a lesson when he saw the student on the far left suddenly make a strange gesture. Then the entire fifth floor was suddenly covered by a complex pattern, and the fragrant and smelly smell became fainter and fainter...

These students actually wanted to catch him in a jar!

The Taoist priest was about to explode with rage, but the five people headed by Wen Qingjiu were completely unaware. In their eyes, the orange peel-like patterns on the Taoist priest's face were very cute—this was not a B-level task to earn points, but a lively graduation thesis!

"Everything is ready." Wen Qingjiu raised his hand and said seriously, "I want him alive!"

Taoist priest:"???"

What do these daring students say?

Against Tiangang?
