Alberto Malesani's whole body was shaking uncontrollably at this moment, his eyes were filled with the emotion of extreme fear, and his throat core was beating like a jumping bean, making an extremely unpleasant "gurgling" sound. Voice.
Not just fear, but an incomprehensible confusion.
For him, a practitioner who was also in the first realm of consciousness killed three practitioners of the same level in the blink of an eye. This was something that he could not understand at all based on his knowledge and vision.
In particular, the ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of him suddenly transformed into a weird appearance with three heads and six arms, which reminded Alberto Malesani of the image of a legendary demon god in their western continent. .
Moreover, in their western continent, creatures with multiple heads are always associated with extreme evil, darkness, cruelty, bloodthirsty, and hell.
So at this moment, Alberto Malesani really felt extreme fear.
"...Who are you...? Are you a believer of the Dark God of Destruction..."
He asked with a trembling voice.
Shu Guan didn't know what the dark god of destruction in Alberto Malesani's mouth was. At this moment, he frowned impatiently, raised the Browning pistol in his hand, and pointed it at Alberto Malesani. Malesani's head.
"I am asking you questions now, not you asking me."
"I'll count to three. If you still refuse to say anything, I will pull the trigger and let you go to hell to meet your companions!"
……hell……
Alberto Malesani was startled.
This guy is indeed related to that demon!
Because the practitioners in the Western Continent are all believers of their respective gods, they will return to the embrace of their respective gods after death.
Only those killed by followers of that demon will fall into hell.
"One, two..."
"Wait a minute, this potion...should have been refined by Lord Stephen."
shouted Alberto Malesani in a panic.
"continue."
Shu Guan said two words coldly.
Alberto Malesani looked at him in panic and asked:
"Continue with what?"
He was really frightened by Shu Guan and his thinking was confused.
"Everything about that Lord Stephen, and why do you think this potion was made by him."
"This bottle of Tears of Aleus is a master-grade alchemy item, and only a master alchemist can refine it."
Alberto Malesani said quickly:
"As for Lord Stephen, he is a very famous alchemist master in the alchemy of the Western Continent. He came to Dahua five years ago, and as far as I know, there should be only one alchemist master in the Western Continent in Dahua, Lord Stephen. "
"Where is Mr. Stephen?"
Shu Guan asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know. When Lord Stephen first came to Shanghai, I was fortunate enough to meet him and ask him some questions about alchemy."
"And according to what Master Stephen told me, he was hired by a company in the United States of America and came to Dahua to carry out some secret work."
"His coming to Shanghai is also a very secret matter, so Master Stephen told me at the beginning not to spread the news about meeting him in Shanghai, otherwise it may bring bad luck."
"And I haven't seen Master Stephen since that time. I don't know where he is now. Maybe he has completed his work and returned to the Western Continent."
"Do you know the name of the company that hired him?"
"...It seems...it seems to be called...by the way, it is called GLH Company, God'slefthand. At that time, Master Stephen also said something, this is a company that has been favored by God, so he will accept this company. Recruitment.”
"I've told you everything I know, really."
Alberto Malesani finished speaking, then looked at Shu Guan with pleading eyes and said:
"Please don't kill me. I can instead believe in the Lord of Darkness and Destruction and become a loyal slave of the Lord of Darkness..."
The sound of a gunshot interrupted his plea.
Alberto Malesani's head disappeared directly from his neck, turning into a cloud of steam.
Shu Guan silently put the Browning pistol back into its holster, then stood up and walked outside.
The people in the bar have already disappeared.
Shu Guan didn't close the door when he came in just now. He didn't care that people outside saw what happened in the room.
What does it matter?
The person who killed here today was a white man.
No matter how you look at it, this is just an internal strife between their cultivators in the Western Continent, and has nothing to do with Dahua and the Dahua cultivation world.
As for the reason why Shu Guan was just here to ask for news but acted so coldly and cruelly, it was the same reason why he killed the female magician named Eileen Brennan.
It has nothing to do with personal good or evil, it is purely because you came here without being invited. This is your original sin!
And just listening to the chat between these practitioners from the Western Continent, I can tell that they must have done a lot of sinful things in Shencheng!
Shu Guan walked out of the Tomahawk Bar and disappeared into the night.
…
In the morning of this day, Shuguan, who had finished his night's work, walked out of his room and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
While washing his face, he took a careful look at himself in the mirror.
It seems that nothing has changed from the past few days.
But Shu Guan knew that he had actually changed a lot. For example, compared to before, his eyes were a little bigger, his nose was a little higher, and his mouth shape had also changed a little.
In the past two days, Shu Guan has been thinking about a question.
If you want to change your appearance, should you make yourself more handsome or more ordinary?
But he soon discovered that his original appearance was already very ordinary. If it were more ordinary, it would fall into the category of ugly.
Shu Guan has been ugly for eighteen years in this life, and he doesn't want to become ugly again.
Moreover, everyone has the love for beauty. Shu Guan is a common man. He had no choice originally. Now that he has a choice, Shu Guan still wants to make himself more handsome.
Of course, a little will do.
After admiring the appearance, which he was not sure whether it had changed or not, Shu Guan came to the first floor.
Three days have passed since he went to the Tomahawk Bar to find Alberto Malesani. Shu Guan didn't know what impact he did in the Tomahawk Bar that night and what impact it had on the spiritual community in Shanghai. He also Too lazy to pay attention.
As for the GLH company, we can no longer investigate it for the time being.
But Shu Guan firmly believes that as long as the GLH company is still operating in Shanghai, he will always have a chance to discover traces of this company.
Of course, this also depends on how well he can control the city.
Going down to the first floor, Shu Guan opened the door, took out today's newspaper from the mailbox, then returned to the house to sit down and read the newspaper.
As for breakfast, he didn't really want to eat it today, so he was too lazy to make it.
Han Biao almost never eats, but Shu Guan himself depends on his mood. Sometimes he will make himself a delicious meal if he is greedy. Otherwise, it is normal not to eat for two or three days.
Shu Guan subscribed to a total of six or seven newspapers, and now he read them one after another. This was a habit he had developed when he was in Shan Si Guan.
For major current affairs, he basically glanced at them in a hurry.
But for those anecdotes in the third and fourth editions, Shu Guan took them quite seriously.
Today, there was a piece of news that caught his attention. Several newspapers reported this news.
Just a few days ago, the Shenzhen City Government Engineering Department restarted a project that had been suspended due to the war a few months ago.
It was about an excavation project on the tidal flats along the river. The Shencheng City Government was planning to build several high-rise buildings on this tidal flats.
A few months ago, before the war broke out, part of this tidal flat had been excavated. But when they continued to excavate this time, the engineering team unexpectedly dug up hundreds of corpses in the tidal flat.
These corpses were probably buried here a few days ago, so they were not completely decomposed.
What makes people feel weird and frightening is that there is not a drop of blood in these corpses.
You must know that all the blood has not disappeared from the bodies of people who have just died a few days ago. However, there are no traces of blood in the corpses dug out from the tidal flats, as if they had been drained before they were alive. Blood is normal.
The identities of these corpses were soon discovered.
They were tourists on a passenger ship that crashed on the nearby river half a month ago.
That was also a somewhat strange shipwreck incident, because when the passenger ship crashed, there was not much wind and waves on the river, but the river fog was relatively thick, but a not-so-old passenger ship crashed inexplicably.
Moreover, during the search and rescue, it was discovered that there were no survivors, and not even a few bodies were recovered.
The speculation at the time was that the corpses were washed downstream by the river into the sea.
Although this possibility is actually not high, I don't know how to explain this matter other than that.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the bodies of the passengers on the crashed passenger ship were found in a tidal flat.
According to the autopsy results of the Patrol Office, these bodies were not drowned at all.
So when the ship sank, these passengers may not have been on the ship at all, but were taken away.
Shipwrecks, missing passengers, bodies drained of blood.
The whole thing looked so weird, mysterious, and terrifying, shrouded in layers of fog.
Nowadays, there are some rumors circulating in Shanghai. It is said that there may be blood-sucking zombies in Shanghai, which specialize in sucking the blood of living people. Some people say that there is a group of criminals who specialize in sucking people's blood and selling it to foreign hospitals in the concession. Anyway, there are different opinions. , for a time the people in Shencheng were panicked.
Shu has read all the newspaper reports on this matter. The details described in different newspapers may be slightly different, but the overall context of the whole matter is not different.
And this matter was not very mysterious to him. Shu Guan's first reaction was that this matter must have been done by a practitioner.
Then three words came to his mind: Blood Demon Sect.
If he had not read the information in the secret cult, Shu Guan would not be able to make such a judgment. However, after learning that there was such an evil sect in Shen City, Shu Guan immediately thought of the person who grew by absorbing the blood of strangers. The sect of cultivation.
He frowned slightly.
...Shencheng Seven Immortals Alliance will definitely take care of this matter...
More than a hundred lives were considered a second-class event. Even if the Seven Immortals Alliance kept a low profile in Shanghai, they would not be able to sit idly by.
I just don’t know if they can find those mysterious Blood Demon Sect practitioners.
If it could be found, the Blood Demon Sect should have been wiped out long ago!
So, should you do some research on this matter yourself?
Just as Shu Guan was thinking this, he heard the footsteps of several people outside the door of the horse racing hall.
The footsteps of one of them were very familiar to him. That person's footsteps were quite distinctive, but his legs and feet were not very convenient.
Du Wenqiang is here.
At the same time, the chatter of the few people coming from the alley also reached Shu Guan's ears.
"Master Du, since you are so familiar with Mr. Shu, why don't you invite him to your residence directly? Why let Mr. Zhang make this trip in person? I have heard about this Shu Xingyun during this time. I heard that his name is like a living god, but no matter how capable or famous he is, Mr. Zhang should not be deigned to come and see him in person."
The voice that spoke was that of a middle-aged man, and his tone seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with Du Wenqiang.
Shu Guan put down the newspaper in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
What a big shot this is!
In Shanghai, there are not many people who can speak to Du Wenqiang like this.
Then another old man's voice rang out.
"Xicheng, I have not held any position for a long time. I am just an ordinary citizen. There is no way to be condescending. Moreover, when I joined the revolution, it was to follow Mr. Di Xiang and build a harmonious world where everyone is equal. If I feel superior to others, , haven’t you forgotten your original intention? And as the parent official of Shencheng, if you have such thoughts in your heart, I will criticize you. "
Although the old man's voice was old, it still sounded heroic.
"What Mr. Zhang is criticizing is that Xicheng is just worried about Mr. Zhang's health. Especially Mr. Zhang, you haven't been sleeping well in the past few days since you came to Shencheng. Xicheng is worried about you if you have any illness. , then Xicheng doesn’t know how many people are going to blame Xicheng for its poor hospitality.”
"It doesn't matter. Walking more will definitely make me feel better. Besides, Wen Qiang has his own reasons for asking us to come here in person."
"Mr. Zhang, Mayor Wu, this is it. Please come in."
At this time, Du Wenqiang's voice also sounded.
Following his words, this Green Gang tycoon, who is now truly all-powerful in Shanghai, walked into the horse racing hall first.
After walking in, Du Wenqiang bowed his hands respectfully towards Shu Guan, but did not speak. Instead, he stepped aside and made way for those who came in behind.
Du Wenqiang's expression at this moment was a cautious attitude. When he handed over to Shuguan just now, there was a wry smile on his face.
If he didn't know Shu Guan's true identity a few months ago, his choice today would definitely be to send Xiaojian to drive his car and invite Shu Guan to his Du Mansion to help the distinguished old man. Tell fortunes.
But Du Wenqiang now knew that Mr. Shu was actually an immortal hidden in the world, so after hesitating for a while, he still insisted on letting the old man come in person.
He just didn't know if he would offend this old man by doing this. Although his current position in Shencheng was extremely prominent, he could never afford to offend this old man.
After Du Wenqiang took a step aside, an old man walked in from behind him.
He was an old man who looked to be about seventy years old. He was quite tall but a little thin. He was wearing a very ordinary gown and was holding an ordinary crutch in his hand. His waist was straight and his appearance was slender. , with a calm expression, but an awe-inspiring aura about him.
It is a kind of momentum that is difficult to describe. It has the murderous spirit of fighting on the battlefield and returning to the battlefield with hundreds of deaths. It also has the power of holding a high position for a long time and holds great power. It also has the heroic spirit of killing thousands of people.
In short, although I just heard him say that he is just an ordinary citizen, anyone who sees him can tell that this is definitely not an ordinary citizen.
After the old man entered the door, his eyes moved around the room, and then fell on Shu Guan.
Behind him, another middle-aged man walked in.
The middle-aged man was in his early fifties, wearing an iron-gray suit of fine material. He had a square face and big ears, and had a majestic face. However, his majesty was far inferior to that of the old man.
Then Du Wenqiang humbly began to introduce both parties.
"Mr. Zhang, Mayor Wu, this is Mr. Shu Xingyunshu, the living god who is now famous in Shanghai."
"Mr. Shu, this is our parent official in Shencheng, Mayor Wu of Wu Xicheng."
Du Wenqiang first introduced the middle-aged man.
In fact, when this dignified middle-aged man entered the door, Shu Guan had already recognized who he was. After all, this man's photos would often appear in major newspapers in Shanghai.
Wu Xicheng, the mayor of Shencheng City, has extremely strong political ability. He can be said to be the mayor with the best reputation and the toughest tactics among the previous mayors of Shencheng since the founding of the Republic of China.
During the two years he served as mayor of Shencheng City, he did a lot of great things.
No wonder he dared to speak to Du Wenqiang like this just now.
Although Du Wenqiang's power in Shanghai at this time and his control over Shanghai may be greater than that of the mayor appointed by the Republic of China government, this mayor, who is known for his tough personality and extremely profound background, may still I’m really not afraid of Du Wenqiang.
So, who is the old man who can make the mayor of Wu Xicheng so respectful?
"Mr. Shu, this is Mr. Zhang Haotian."
At this time, Du Wenqiang finally introduced the old man's name.
He also only introduced his name, but not his identity.
After Shu Guan heard the three words "Zhang Haotian", he said softly "Ah" and stood up from the chair.
There is really no need for Du Wenqiang to introduce the identity of this old man. Who in Dahua does not know this old man? As a practitioner who rarely pays attention to human affairs, Shu Guan also knows it.
Because this old man named Zhang Haotian is one of the four great men of the Republic of China.
This is a truly big shot.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, I wish all book friends family happiness, harmony and good health.
By the way, I'm also going to take a day off tomorrow to attend a family gathering.
