"Eh?"
Altar No. 12 in the pawn shop looked at each other in confusion: "Where is the hunter?"
Just now, they followed Zhang Lang into the pawn shop, but in a daze, Zhang Lang who was walking in front disappeared.
Le Xinyi took out her badge and tried to contact Zhang Lang, but it showed that he was out of range.
"what happened?"
Everyone was confused, and the owner of the pawn shop was impatient: "What do you want to do? Do you want to pawn or redeem the pawn?"
Le Xinyi stepped forward: "Excuse me...is there any...portal gate that can enter another world nearby?"
"Transportation gate? Isn't that in Stargate New City?" The pawnshop owner looked puzzled: "Are you from outside the city?"
"Yes, yes..." Le Xinyi nodded repeatedly, and the pawnshop owner muttered, "Go to the station to buy a ticket. There is a direct train. It is less than a hundred kilometers away from here... Really, what pawnshop are you asking for directions to?"
"Buy tickets..." After a brief analysis, Le Xinyi understood Zhang Lang's purpose of bringing them here. She immediately found some valuable but not important things as collateral, exchanged them for cash, and took everyone to the station.
Lao Mo asked strangely: "Let's go directly to Star Gate New City without waiting for the hunter?"
"Don't worry about him!" Le Xinyi was full of confidence in Zhang Lang: "There must be a reason for his sudden disappearance. All we have to do is follow the mission instructions to find the star gate and stop the invasion of demons!"
"Maybe, he is already waiting at the Star Gate!"
The group came to the station, bought tickets and got on the train, and soon arrived at Xingmen New City.
They didn't have Zhang Lang's abnormal hearing, but they had other ways to collect information, and they soon found the group building.
"The star gate is underground, and the high-level offices are upstairs. Catch the thief first and capture the king first!"
The group set off immediately, still using brutal methods to break through to the roof, and forced their way into the office of the general manager Ximen.
But what surprised them was that someone had already arrived first.
The exterior glass of the office was broken, and the curtains and plants inside were swaying in the strong wind. Behind the desk sat Ximen, and outside the desk, sat a tall man.
"Hunter?"
Everyone was surprised to see Zhang Lang in the office.
"You came here first, why didn't you inform us?"
"There's something going on. I'll tell you next time." Zhang Lang didn't even look back, just stared at Ximen in front of him.
"Next time?" Le Xinyi stepped forward: "What next time?"
"do not move!"
Zhang Lang's sudden stop made Le Xinyi startled and froze in place: "What's wrong?"
"I didn't say anything about you." Zhang Lang looked away slightly, then continued to look at Ximen: "You are already under my force field, so there is no way you can make any small moves."
Simon? Everyone looked curiously at the person in charge of the Star Gate Group. Is there something special about this guy that makes powerful hunters afraid?
Ximen looked at Zhang Lang. This time he was no longer as angry and panicked as in the previous reincarnations. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders very calmly: "You misunderstood. I didn't plan to do anything. From the beginning to the end, I was just a person." Just a bystander.”
"Amazing..." Zhang Lang praised: "Both his acting skills and his ability to hide his aura are perfect... Always act as a bystander. Is this how you gain insight into the past and the future?"
"Vashak!"
That's right, the head of this research institute, Mr. Simon, who behaved just like ordinary humans in his previous reincarnations, is the third demon god of hell, the god of knowledge, Vasak!
"I haven't heard this name for a long time..." Simon, or Vasak, laughed to himself.
"You don't seem surprised that I came to your door?" Zhang Lang raised his eyebrows: "When I broke the window and entered, you looked very calm..."
"I am a demon who has insight into the past and the future. I can naturally guess that someone is coming to find me..." Vasak smiled and said, "I mean, as 'Vashak', not as 'Ximen'."
"You were not like this a few times before." Zhang Lang raised his eyebrows.
"How many times?" Vasak showed a curious expression.
"This is not the first time we have met." Zhang Lang shook his head, and then in a few words explained the matter of returning.
Vassago shook his head: "If what you said is true, it only means that the information I received was different in the past few times, so I must play Simon's role well."
"Message?" Zhang Lang tilted his head slightly: "Did someone notify you that I am coming?"
"To gain insight into the world, it is natural to collect information...but it is not that simple intelligence." Vasak explained: "I can see the hidden connections behind seemingly unrelated things."
"For example, I can predict the financial changes on the other side of the ocean from the amount of foam in the first cup of coffee in the morning; I can predict the score of the football game three days later from the shape of the clouds in the sky; I can also predict the score of the football game three days later based on the shape of the lawn downstairs. From the shape, we can see the price of meat in the market next door tomorrow..."
Zhang Lang frowned.
"It's incredible, right?" Vasak shrugged his shoulders: "According to your logic, this makes no sense at all... But I can know it. Maybe, you can think that this is my divine power."
"Then how did you know that I was coming to find you?"
Vasak turned the monitor on the desktop, which was showing the midday news, and the screen paused on an interview with a location reporter.
"The three folds on the chest of this reporter's shirt represent that someone will break into my office rudely, and the shape of her hair being blown by the wind suggests that the visitor knows my true identity."
"I think the shape of her hair should have been slightly different in the other reincarnations you have experienced."
Zhang Lang still feels a little ridiculous, but even if he remembers the shape of the reporter's hair now, he can't verify it. Because he already knows Simon's true identity. According to Vasak, as long as he knows, the hair will appear in this shape.
"Incredible ability..."
"It's not omnipotent." Vasak shook his head with a smile: "At least, I don't know how you discovered me. I probably missed the information about this part... I thought I hid it well enough, even Able to hide from God’s scrutiny…”
"I asked about Barr." Zhang Lang replied, "It took a lot of effort to get him to speak."
Vasak was slightly startled when he heard this, and then shook his head mockingly: "I didn't expect that there would be an existence that could defeat Baal... It's a waste of time for me to claim to be a demon who knows everything. After living in the human world for so long, it seems that there are still people in the world. There are a lot of things I can’t predict..." 1
