In the evening, the lights of every household give the city the tranquility of night. The original ecological environment maintained by Danma does not have much hustle and bustle of modern cities. In the shadow of street lights and alleys, a few idlers pass by roadside stalls. After stopping for a moment, the smoke from barbecues rises.
"It's such a nostalgic era." Luo Lin sat on the stone steps with a piece of grass in his mouth, a dozen meat skewers in his left hand, and several slices of cut bread on the oil paper package spread out on his right hand. He picked up one, separated the cut, clamped the meat skewers and pulled it down, and a handmade meat bun was completed.
Standing not far away was Sun Mozhu. She was still dressed in black, but the bulging bags around her waist were obviously stuffed with something. At this moment, he was holding a bottle of mineral water and looking at the door of the church about a hundred meters away.
"What kind of world do you live in? I actually feel nostalgic."
The time was not up yet, so the two had no choice but to chat. In the previous exchanges, the main focus was on how to set up warnings and checkpoints, but there was no discussion of the other party's past life.
"When I was a child, I fished in the river, but when I was ten years old, my father took me to the city. Later, I served as a soldier for two years. I learned some tricks from a veteran, but I never went to the battlefield. After I retired and returned home, I found a security job and became a single nobleman." Luo Lin grinned and said, "What a coincidence, this time I am the security captain of Danma Central Hospital, so I can get back to my job."
"You are also young and promising, but this age is indeed enviable."
"Hey, do you want to tell your story?"
Luo Lin took a bite of the homemade meat buns, but he didn't expect that Sun Mozhu would respond seriously to his casual question.
"My father should be said to be...the leader of the martial arts alliance?"
"Pfft! Cough! Wait...wait..." Luo Lin choked, then looked at Sun Mozhu carefully with his eyes widened, "Are you an ancient person?"
"It's true according to your view of time." Sun Mozhu nodded.
"This is the first time I've met someone from the past... So, is the leader of the martial arts league really a martial artist? What about internal strength?"
"You should have this even in your era. It is true that we may be better at hard qigong and internal kung fu, but there is essentially no difference."
"Oh, oh." Luo Lin quickly added another mouthful.
Sun Mozhu continued to tell his story.
"My father is the leader of the martial arts alliance... Anyway, it is a position similar to this. The thieves and rangers in the wild will give him face, and the sects with mountain gates also obey most orders. However, there is always such a problem in the martial arts, that is, the leader The most fundamental guarantee of power is to be invincible in martial arts. But people will always grow old. My father has passed his prime, and I am an old man. It is too early to talk about successors. "
Based on these contents alone, Luo Lin, who was bombarded by countless modern information, could come up with a bunch of contents, such as coveting martial arts skills and exterminating families to pursue revenge.
"Then my father stepped aside."
"cough!"
At least I didn't choke this time. Luo Lin patted his chest and couldn't help asking strangely: "Then you are safe? Why are you here?"
"I was about to say - five or six years after that, the imperial court suddenly launched a liquidation and recruitment campaign against the entire martial arts world. Some sects that were unwilling to serve suffered a devastating blow. Although my father was no longer in office, everyone still Respect him and invite him to discuss it together. Later I found out that this was actually a planned destruction operation. The emperor wanted to send troops to northern Xinjiang, but he was short of troops, money and food, so he used this banner to openly rob. If it was just a bandit or something like that. No one will take care of the disaster, but even some serious sects have been wiped out, so we have no choice but to unite and resist while trying to negotiate with the court..."
"Okay, I probably know what's going on."
"Well, for the decapitation operation, although my father did not let the core members come out too much because of this issue, he and I who were accompanying him were ambushed, and as a result, I came here."
"Sorry, but you should also know..."
"Everyone knows it, but someone still has to make the attempt. If a war is really provoked, our country will be in chaos and our people will be harmed." Sun Mozhu looked very serious, "I don't think this is the case. The decision was questionable and to deny such an attempt just because of my death... that's not right."
"But you didn't solve the problem, you just died in vain."
"If one road doesn't work, then go to another one. But that's not a question I have to think about. My father trusts those people and the new leader, so I also trust them to make the right decision after getting this news. judgment."
"you……"
Luo Lin looked a little complicated.
"I don't like your way of thinking, but I respect people like you."
The time came to eight o'clock.
The bamboo stick wrapped in oil paper fell into the trash can with a soft sound.
"Good job, Sun Mozhu. I'm happy to cooperate with someone like you, but... you'd better not use that kind of sacrificial spirit today."
"I don't mean to sacrifice, it's just that fate has gone to the wrong side. I know what you mean very well."
The two of them gradually developed a tacit understanding and walked separately towards the church and cemetery.
The hands turned slightly, and the hour hand crossed the nine o'clock dividing line. The moment the first bell echoed, the firelight illuminated the night sky in a corner of the city.
The detonation begins. It seemed that the explosives whose main purpose was to burn instantly involved the small theater in flames. Under the cover of the fire and smoke, the quietly set burning lines began to be carved into the slightly older structure of the theater. Within a moment, a collapse occurred in the wooden structure!
Screaming, cursing, crying, countless voices caused chaos in the theater. Some people who were agile and closer to the door were lucky enough to rush out, but were shocked to find that the street outside was completely silent, with no pedestrians at all.
"Help! Put out the fire!"
The emergency fire alarm responded immediately, but the mobile phone signal became a big obstacle at this moment. Lucky shouted his location loudly, but he didn't have much expectation that the other party could hear him.
"what happens?"
Finally, from the corner of the road, a girl who looked like a student walked out. She was holding a mobile phone in her hand, as if she had just made a call.
"Go, call someone, there's a fire, and there are people inside! Why is there no one around here?"
He couldn't see the girl clearly, but it was always good to have someone ask for help. At this moment, the lucky man was shouting in a hurry, but he was not particularly vigilant.
In an instant, a handkerchief covered his mouth and nose, and at the same time he received a heavy blow on his abdomen, making him take a breath involuntarily.
boom.
"One. Then the final uncertainty is eliminated."
Cheng Wuling picked up the phone and said to the other side: "Arrange the dispatch of the police immediately. Based on previous wildfires, the response speed of the fire brigade will probably arrive within ten minutes, but this is not as fast as your preparation speed."
"Understood, has the person been rescued?"
"Sent away safely, the replacement body has been burned in. Next, you only need to deal with five fire spots with artificial traces before rescuing people, and the rest is waiting for everyone to feedback the reactions from everywhere."
After saying this, Cheng Wuling tilted his head and thought for a moment, glanced at the people on the ground, and then said: "There was a person who ran out when the fire started. I fainted. You guys can deal with it when you deal with the aftermath." one time."
"...deal with it?"
"Just follow your procedures, and you can cover up the murder, so that's nothing, right?"
"understood."
The phone received a busy signal and the other party had hung up. Cheng Wuling raised his head and looked at the burning building, but his eyes were not filled with any warmth.
At the same time, a few hundred meters away from the fire scene, an inconspicuous car was speeding towards the outskirts of the city. Shu Xingruo sat in the back seat, Lu Ning sat in the passenger seat, and the driver was Ye Fei.
"Tsk! I thought it was so thrilling!"
Obviously today's action was not as exciting as his fatal dash on the street in the middle of the night a few days ago, but at least everything was terrifyingly stable. When the fire broke out, Shu Xingruo left the theater through the temporary passage, got into the car and took him away - Cheng Wuling broke down the things that everyone needed to be responsible for into fragmented links, and there was simply no challenge for those who needed to be responsible here. sex.
"It's a good thing that everything is okay. Thank you for your rescue." Shu Xingruo took a deep breath and said to Ye Fei with a smile.
"I just drive a car." Although Ye Fei is impulsive, he is not someone who likes to take credit, so he immediately waved his hand.
"Cheng Wuling told everyone what they need to do. We don't know what others are going to do specifically, and she doesn't tell us."
Lu Ning said slightly complaining.
"While this does prevent internal problems, it doesn't make us feel like a team."
"It's not like you don't know her temperament."
Shu Xingruo smiled.
The three of them lived together in the distribution center for a few days and got to know each other somewhat. Cheng Wuling looks cold and unapproachable. In fact, it can be said that he answers all questions. If he can't answer, he will just say that he can't talk. He is quite easy to talk to. He is exactly the kind of person who looks out of place but can easily fit into a group.
"Even I, the rescued person, only knew when to find an excuse to leave and then escape directly through the secret passage and get into the car. I didn't know anything else. But from the time arrangement, I probably knew more about the plan."
"oh?"
"Bai Meng and the class leader stuck the time of the first scene so that I didn't even have to be too careful about my excuses. I could just touch up my makeup in the bathroom or something. Then they lit the fire through a timer device to avoid the risk of being discovered if someone lit the fire. Come down and clear out those ignition devices before the investigation. If it were her, she would have even prepared the fake ignition device." Shu Xingruo said.
Ye Fei smacked his lips again.
"Then she set up the device in advance? What should Bai Meng do?"
"Although the theater has a wooden structure, that's not all. The fire is just a cover. Most of the stage and the auditorium are made of non-combustible materials. You just need to avoid curtains and other cloths. Of course, the cause of death in fires is only thick smoke. Just prepare some recommended anti-virus measures in advance, and the class leader will discover the use of these things 'in time', and they just need to hide in a place where fire cannot reach and wait for rescue."
Lu Ning told Ye Fei what she knew.
"As for Bai Meng, in order to fully demonstrate the danger of this accident, she will be 'injured'. In addition, the people who came together will inevitably have some minor or serious injuries. Then Shen Xinyue will make Shu Xingruo's death visible through such reports. It seems more normal, and even a lucky thing... Only one person died in such a big fire."
"Are you going to cover up to this extent..." Ye Fei felt terrible hearing this.
"Since the other party wants to cover up like this, we will use the same method to retaliate. Only if we can detect the problem here can we say that we are the opponent we are really looking for. All the targets we are currently suspicious of are following, no matter which side wants to Move, we all take the lead.”
"Then don't we take the initiative?"
"No……"
Lu Ning suddenly straightened her body from leaning on the chair, moved her fingers slightly, and a few glass beads fell from the cuffs into the palm of her hand, making a crisp sound.
"Our mission is not only to pick people up and leave, but there is also a possibility."
She stared at a van that suddenly appeared at the intersection in front of her and shouted: "Close your eyes!"
Ye Fei was stunned, and Shu Xingruo had already hid behind the seat. At the same time, the van in front turned directly onto the reverse road, and its high beam lights instantly turned on. The strong light immediately stung Ye Fei's eyes!
"ah!"
Fortunately, even in this situation, Ye Feitian's natural recklessness allowed him to respond appropriately. As soon as the steering wheel was turned, he immediately deflected the driving route, narrowly avoiding a direct collision with the opponent!
"They're going to kill us!"
"Calm down! Find a way to stop the car. Didn't Yuan Xi lend you a gun?"
Lu Ning had just avoided the direct glare of the light. She reached out to unbuckle her seat belt and helped Ye Fei hold the steering wheel. At the same time, she raised her head and glanced at the rearview mirror in the car——
"They're driving back!"
