Looking at the crowd on the road, Huang Si stretched out his hand and patted Li Jianguo on the back, and whispered: "Master Li, there are many people here and I don't know if there are any other killers here. Let's leave quickly."
Li Jianguo nodded and looked around nervously. The light here was originally very dim, but at a glance, it seemed that everyone's face was covered with a dense shadow, and there might be something stuffed in the wide sleeves.
"Let's go quickly," Li Jianguo said with lingering fear.
Huang Si nodded slightly, motioned Li Jianguo to stay close to the wall, and walked forward quickly.
After walking a few steps, the block in front of the two people was crowded with people, and a noisy noise was getting closer and closer.
Li Jianguo's heart immediately rose to his throat. He stretched out his hand and nervously touched Huang Si's sleeves, casting a look of help at him.
Huang Si didn't say anything, and pulled Li Jianguo forward quickly, weaving through the crowd quickly.
Until the two of them were stopped by a sudden male voice from behind:
"Master Li, I have long admired you."
The voice was calm and gentle, like the sound of winter snow outside the window in the afternoon.
Li Jianguo turned around curiously and saw a pale face at a glance, but what was more eye-catching was the hat on the other person's head: money at first sight.
Bai Wuchang thanks Bian?
Unlike other ghosts, Bai Wuchang appears very...normal and has a very handsome appearance. Her long, clear hair hangs on both sides of her neck along with the hatband hanging from her hat. She wears a white coat that hangs loosely and proportionally on her body. At a glance, she looks like a white plum tree blooming proudly in a pine forest in winter.
Now that I met him on the street, Bai Wuchang seemed even more out of place with his surroundings. However, the crowd around him didn't seem to want to pay too much attention to Bai Wuchang. Several people walking saw Bai Wuchang and quickly turned around.
Bai Wuchang was followed by five or six Yinzai. They were indifferent to the changes in the surrounding people, or they were accustomed to it. Bai Wuchang glanced at Huang Si behind Li Jianguo and said warmly: "Huang Si, long time no see."
Huang Si nodded perfunctorily, lowered his head to avoid Bai Wuchang's gaze, and did not answer. He slowly turned around and leaned against the wall, one hand resting lightly on the handle of the knife.
Bai Wuchang turned his attention back to Li Jianguo: "We noticed unusual movements in the black market of Hades, and some unknown people gathered here. Mr. Bao was worried that Mr. Li was in danger, and specifically asked us to help protect Mr. Li Zhouquan."
Before Li Jianguo could answer, he heard Huang Si chuckle. Huang Si then raised his head and glanced at Bai Wuchang, then stood up slowly and patted his butt: "Okay, thanks for your protection, Master Li. Master Li will definitely be infallible, so I won't cause any trouble. Thank you, Master, you will be in trouble."
After saying that, Huang Si turned around and walked in the direction he came from, passing by Bai Wuchang. There was no more words between the two.
Li Jianguo looked at Huang Si's slowly leaving back, and then glanced at Bai Wuchang.
There seems to be some disagreement between the two?
Bai Wuchang didn't say anything and continued to ask Li Jianguo: "Did anything look strange on the way Li Jianguo came?"
Li Jianguo nodded immediately: "Yes! A group of people attacked us with bows, arrows and darts. Thanks to Huang Si, otherwise I would have had to poke a few holes!"
The corner of Bai Wuchang's mouth curved slightly: "Master Li is joking, your literary, Taoist and military strategies are known to the world. We will investigate this matter right away."
Bai Wuchang raised his hand gently and said behind him: "Go and see the attack scene that Master Li mentioned. Pay attention to safety and report anything as soon as possible."
Several undercover men behind him immediately turned around to explore the way Li Jianguo came. Bai Wuchang then leaned slightly towards Li Jianguo and said humbly: "Master Li, Master Bao is waiting for us, let's leave quickly."
Li Jianguo was about to set off when he turned around and glanced at the crowd behind him: "Master Xie, what about Huang Si...?"
Bai Wuchang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master Bao is here, he will come back."
When the two arrived at the Soul Hunting Training Association, the ceremony had already ended. There were many people in the hall who were said to be "media reporters", but they were actually a group of idle residents who liked to pass on news. Just like in ancient TV dramas, there is always a person reading the announcement in front of the announcement, and there is also a large group of chattering and enthusiastic social people in the underworld.
Bao Zheng was not in the hall, but stood worriedly at the door. Watching Bai Wuchang and Li Jianguo coming from a distance, Bao Zheng stretched out his hand to stop the two from greeting Bao Zheng, then turned around and entered a deserted hut next door.
There was only one table and three chairs in the room. After Bai Wuchang led Li Jianguo into the room, before they could sit down, Bao Zheng said, "Master Li, we are in trouble now."
"Oh?" Li Jianguo responded guiltily.
Why are you in trouble again? Didn’t you cook well yesterday?
There seemed to be continuous dark clouds hovering on Bao Zheng's face: "The phenomenon of missing souls before has become even more serious now!"
Li Jianguo frowned in confusion: "The soul is missing?"
Bai Wuchang explained: "Some time ago, due to financial constraints, the underworld was unable to pay wages to the underworld agents who seduced souls. Therefore, the underworld agents generally only chose those rich and wealthy compounds to conduct seductions and collected tolls and tips. This resulted in a large number of poor people. After death, there is no one to guide you, and you become a lonely ghost. We, Black and White, and our Hades Guards will volunteer to go to the underworld to guide them, but recently, the souls in the underworld have disappeared..."
"Wait a minute," Li Jianguo interrupted Bai Wuchang and asked, "What will happen if there are too many souls stranded in the underworld? As for how you respond by going to war?"
Bai Wuchang nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Not to mention that the soul is the basis for the operation of the three realms, the energy contained in the soul is very scary. Mr. Li may not know something, but the essence of the soul is the combination of energy and consciousness. , just like controllable nuclear fusion requires a device to carry it, if there is no consciousness constraint, then it is equivalent to nuclear fusion having no constraints, and the energy it releases is devastating enough to change the weather and landforms."
Li Jianguo was speechless for a while: This metaphor is too stretched. Aren't metaphors supposed to be easy to understand? Is there any metaphor that is more difficult to understand than the ontology?
But I can understand what Bai Wuchang means, but...
"I've also heard of the situation where the soul is gone," Li Jianguo asked, "but I haven't heard of any big impact?"
Bai Wuchang continued to explain: "Just like your nuclear weapons technology in the world is only mastered by a few countries, there are also only a handful of people in the Three Realms who have the ability to annihilate souls. Although this technology is looked down upon by the strong, it is still for some For people who are not very talented, they can change their destiny against the will of heaven, so this technology is strictly blocked within the Three Realms to prevent it from being obtained by lawless people and causing any bad effects."
Li Jianguo nodded thoughtfully and tried to sort out the current situation: "So, because the soul in the world is missing now, are we worried that the soul will be collected and used by lawless people?"
Bao Zhengjin, who had been silent for a long time, frowned and intervened: "The disappearance of the soul in the Yang world is an important matter that can affect the balance of the three realms. This matter should be kept strictly confidential and not allowed to be known to others. But Mr. Li, you also know, Now that our soul hunting industry association has been established, the soul hunting activity will be officially launched in the near future. If it is found that all the souls have disappeared, the news will definitely not be hidden; if the planned soul hunting activity is postponed now, it will surely be postponed again. The rumor spread all over the city, so..."
Li Jianguo understood what Bao Zheng meant: "So this matter must be resolved quickly and as soon as possible."
Bao Zheng nodded with satisfaction, folded his hands in front of his chest and said, "Then I will rely more on Mr. Li."
ah?
Wait, why did it become my business again?
Yesterday in the Palace of Pluto, I had managed to get it right, but now I was talking about the missing soul, did I really have no clue at all?
Moreover, no one paid attention to the fact that he was attacked on the way here? No one speaks up for themselves?
However, wouldn't it be inappropriate to tell Bao Zheng that he is a coward now?
So Li Jianguo stared at Bao Zheng's eyes sincerely and shook his head firmly: "Master Bao, I don't think it's the best time for me to appear now. As you can see, some people have already regarded me as a target. Considering that My identity and every move I make must attract special attention. If I act rashly at this time, I will surely alert the enemy, which will be even more detrimental to the recovery of my soul."
Bao Zheng stroked his beard with his hand, turned his head and considered Li Jianguo's words carefully, sighed, and then looked at Li Jianguo and said: "What Mr. Li said is true, but according to the original plan, the first soul competition will be held tomorrow. During the hunt, the soul must be recovered before tomorrow, otherwise, rumors about the missing soul will spread throughout the underworld and even the three realms, and the confidence you have finally consolidated will be greatly affected. Please think twice, Mr. Li!"
Under the earnest gazes of Bai Wuchang and Bao Zheng, Li Jianguo began to think twice.
After a while, Li Jianguo walked out of the room. As soon as he went out, he met Huang Si, who was leaning against the door bored.
When Huang Si saw Li Jianguo, he immediately straightened up and approached him: "Master Li, where are we going now?"
Li Jianguo glanced at Huang Si, and while walking forward, he spoke to Huang Si with a decisive and firm tone: "Go back to the guest house."
Huang Si raised his eyelids, looked at Li Jianguo's back with a little surprise, and hurried up in two steps: "Go back to the guest house? I thought Mr. Bao must have something important to do with you."
Li Jianguo nodded, without further explanation, and hurried to the guest house with long strides, thinking gloomily in his heart:
It's a big deal, but don't I know how much I weigh?
Want to solve the missing soul in one day? And also when I can’t guarantee my own personal safety now?
Forget it, instead of rushing up to give it to me for nothing, why not go back and have a good rest? It’s not like I can’t live in the underworld without me. Bao Zheng, Black and White Wuchang, and Bull-Head-Horse Face, any of them are more useful than a fake like myself, right?
Go back, go back, sleep, sleep!
Huang Si looked at Li Jianguo's resolute look and seemed to have no intention of explaining, so he stopped asking any more questions and followed Li Jianguo closely. The two of them rushed towards Li Jianguo's residence in the Palace of Hades one after the other.
The Palace of Hades is on the central axis of Fengdu. Li Jianguo and his two current residences are in the east of the city. Going west, they pass through almost half of Fengdu.
Along the way, the wind was roaring, and the vegetation was full of soldiers. Li Jianguo had to ask Huang Si for the route at every fork in the road. He wanted to find a road with many people, good lighting, and close shadows. In this way, the two of them took a winding and inverted "digital" route. .
At the apex of the zigzag, Li Jianguo and Huang Si had to face the fact that the next two or three blocks were in the unfinished housing area of Fengdu, sparsely populated and with little lighting, but now they had to pass through.
The two looked at each other and made up their minds. Huang Si rushed forward with a scabbard in one hand and rushed forward quickly. Li Jianguo followed closely behind, with his heart in his throat and followed Huang Si at a sprint speed of 100 meters. Forward.
Suddenly there were a few rustling sounds, like the sound of wind pouring into the sleeves, and then turned into a whirring sound, getting louder and louder. Huang Si immediately stopped, stretched out his hand to signal Li Jianguo to stop, and carefully identified the direction of the sound.
The whirring sound was rapidly approaching the two of them. Huang Si suddenly noticed something, turned to Li Jianguo and shouted: "Sir, be careful!", and threw Li Jianguo to the ground backwards.
Okay, okay, no near miss.
Where Li Jianguo was standing just now, there is now a girl with a grinning face, eyes and nose so painful that they are squeezed together.
If she hadn't been able to dodge just now, the girl would have had to hit Li Jianguo directly, hitting her full in the chest.
Li Jianguo suddenly felt a bad premonition in his mind.
Oh well, it seems that what is supposed to come will always come.
