Bai Xing opened her eyes again, still seeing the familiar, translucent body floating in the air, which could only move according to the character's perspective. She saw a very tall and capable woman with slightly dark skin, cold brows and eyes, and small pearl earrings on her ears. Behind her were several members of the escort team, driving a fully loaded car towards the small town.
Dust billowed as the woman, exhausted and dusty, hurried back to the city with the others. Once inside, she seemed a completely different person, a generous and bright smile on her face as she enthusiastically distributed candy to the children. Bai Xing noticed a child squeezed to the front, also wanting some candy. He must have been having a blast recently; his body was filthy, his hands caked with sticky candy juice and dust, leaving his palms black. The child happily reached out to grab the woman's clothes and ask for candy. A hint of hidden disgust flashed in the woman's eyes, but she still smiled, but she secretly dodged the child's hand, quickly handed him a piece of candy, and sent him away. Then, surrounded by people's compliments and admiration, she returned home.
Butcher Zhang was a man who was not good at talking. When he heard that his daughter had returned, he rushed home from the shop without even having time to change his clothes. When he saw his daughter coming back, he happily wiped his hands on his apron. He wanted to hug her but was afraid of getting dirty.
When the woman saw Zhang the Butcher, the smile on her face became more genuine, and the two of them went home eagerly. Zhang the Butcher hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, and his eyes became sore when he heard her talk about what she had encountered while escorting the goods.
The father and daughter chatted happily for a long time. The woman asked Butcher Zhang to go back to the shop and finish his work first. After Butcher Zhang left, she walked into the yard, moved a big stone, revealing the lid underneath.
Bai Xing watched her walk in and come to the middle of the secret passage. The lights in the stone passage were lit and two men were already waiting there. One of them was handsome and wealthy, and the fabric of the clothes he wore looked very precious. He should be the city lord. The other one was hunchbacked and looked a little wretched. He looked like a ruffian. When he saw the woman coming, he looked her up and down with blatant eyes.
The woman saw her look and warned her rudely, "Ren Fanzi, if you look at me like that again, I'll dig out your eyes and feed them to the dogs."
Ren Fanzi curled his lips and pretended to be scared, then laughed obscenely in the face of the woman's frown and disgust. The city lord glared at him, and he restrained himself slightly.
The city lord took out a small bag from behind his back and handed it to the woman: "This is your reward."
The woman opened the bag and immediately frowned: "Why is it only this little?" Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's and were fixed on the city lord. Even though the city lord was a scheming person, he couldn't help but be startled by her eyes.
The atmosphere among the three of them suddenly became tense.
The man called Ren Fanzi also put away his playful smile. He was like a rat in a culvert, his eyes gleaming faintly in the firelight. He stared at the woman like a maggot clinging to her bones, but he smiled and said, "Of the three of us, I'll be in charge of kidnapping, Old Song will be in charge of finding the buyer, and you have the easiest job. Just transport the person out. We don't mind you at all, and we've even given you so much. What else do you have to complain about?"
The woman gritted her teeth, a cruel look on her face: "Does that mean there's nothing to talk about?" She bent down slightly, her body ready, one hand grasping the dagger hidden under her clothes.
Ren Fanzi and the city lord looked at each other. The woman saw their eye contact, her eyes became fierce, and she suddenly kicked out the torch on the wall, and the stone road was immediately plunged into darkness.
"Oh no! Be careful!" The two people exclaimed. Although Ren Fanzi looked thin, he was very strong. He wrestled with the woman in the dark. The city lord groped for the torch that had fallen on the ground, took out the tinder and lit it again, and the light returned to the stone road.
The woman suddenly felt something was wrong. If it was in the dark, the city lord would be afraid to take action. If Ren Fanzi was accidentally injured, they would be completely defeated. But now she was entangled by Ren Fanzi. If the city lord took action from the side, the situation would be very dangerous. She stopped fighting with Ren Fanzi and wanted to withdraw.
But how could the two give him such an opportunity? Ren Fanzi rushed forward and overwhelmed the woman. The woman's knife stabbed at his throat. Ren Fanzi turned around to avoid it. Seeing that she could not escape, the woman became ruthless. She held the dagger with both hands and aimed at Ren Fanzi's throat and stabbed it down. Ren Fanzi was shocked and directly held the blade with his hands, using his hands to resist the knife to prevent it from piercing his throat. Blood flowed out from the gaps between his hands and dripped onto his face. Both parties were exerting force, with ferocious expressions, like evil spirits crawling out of hell.
The city lord drew the sword from his waist and stabbed the woman in the back while she looked at him with bloodshot eyes.
Gradually, the woman's resistance weakened, and she finally fell into a deep sleep. The two men quickly cleaned up the battlefield, dragged the woman back to the room, and set up the scene, making it look like a vendetta. Bai Xing looked at the pearl earring in the corner of the stone path and sighed softly.
When their consciousness returned to reality, Xu Daozheng had just woken up. Both of them had complicated expressions in their eyes. The system's voice prompting that the task was completed rang in their ears. The pedestrians on the road suddenly stopped and looked at them strangely. The originally lively town instantly became dead silent, staring straight at the two of them.
It was getting dark, the snow was falling heavier, and the coldness penetrated into people's bones.
"Oh no! Go!"
——
The young boy Song Cheng received the task assigned by the "organization" and was full of fighting spirit. After careful consideration, he went to the city lord's study to look for clues.
While rummaging through the bookshelf, he lost his balance and took a step back, bumping into the table. Suddenly, a small box fell out from under the table.
Tsk tsk, the quality of this mechanism is really bad, Song Cheng complained with a smile.
Song Cheng opened the box and saw... Oh? An account book.
[May 6, male, 12, 100 coins]
[July 17th, female, seven, forty coins]
…
Song Cheng's expression turned cold, and the cold smile on his face actually made people feel a little awe.
A hurried sound of footsteps came quickly from afar. Song Cheng hid the account book in his clothes and looked around. There were no windows in the room, and there was not even any place to hide.
Song Cheng was a little nervous as he was about to be caught in a trap. He tried hard to calm himself down.
City Lord Song's heart has been beating fast recently, always feeling that something bad is going to happen. When he heard some noise in the study just now, his heart tightened and he immediately came over to arrest the person.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw his son standing in the room, pretending to be stupid. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly found that the son in front of him became a stranger.
[The player has completed the task and his identity has expired. The player can exit the dungeon at any time.]
The city lord's face was ferocious. He drew his knife and rushed over: "Who are you?"
"What the hell? You're playing this game and you're ruining me!" Song Cheng was horrified and fled in panic.
