A+ A- Turn Off Light

This feeling of panic was not fear, but more like anger. Anger at someone spying on you without you knowing it. This lack of security naturally brings anger.

The applause sounded more like a taunt to me. I stood up and shone the flashlight over. In the light of the flashlight, a thin figure stood in the middle of the hall.

It was a man, but he was short and thin, and at first glance he looked like a young teenager. Perhaps it was because of his baby face that he didn’t look old, and his delicate facial features made him look young at first glance. If I hadn’t seen a few wrinkles on him, I would have thought he was really a teenager.

He seemed to like black very much. In such a hot summer, he was even wearing a black shirt and black trousers, standing there like a shadow.

But none of that mattered. What mattered was who he was? I didn’t know him at all.

I and Hui Gen looked at this person in silence. If my guess was right, then the knot must have been broken by him. After all, I was no longer young, and I was not impulsive enough to interrogate a stranger who was silently spying on me and whom I knew nothing about. I always felt that the more I said, the more I was wrong.

And my wife usually follows my lead.

As for Zhao Hong, he had not recovered from the shock of his first encounter in his life, and he was a little confused.

“Chen Chengyi, you’re in a terrible state. Two ghosts, a little resentment, and you’re like this. Geez… really, I just made the game a little more difficult.” The man in black spoke, his voice not the sound of a mature man, but rather the crispness of a teenager. However, the content of his words, when carefully considered, gave one a chilling feeling.

Breaking the finger rope I prepared beforehand is a matter of life and death, but he said it was a game.

I frowned. Maybe I looked very miserable with my bloody face, so I asked, “Who are you? What is your purpose? Why are you bothering me?”

“Who am I?” The man took a deep breath, as if the anger in the room intoxicated him. He looked up at me and smiled, saying, “You should thank me. If it had been my junior brother, with his anger towards you, you would have been killed. Hehehe… I am very kind and gave you a chance to struggle.”

I didn’t say anything, but the little guy Hui Gen’er couldn’t help but spit out a “bah” and scolded, “You idiot, do you really think you’re so (terrible) that you can survive? Hiding behind the back of a sneaky person, what kind of hammer is that? And I really want to fight, do you dare?”

I looked at Huigen with a smile. Generally, monks don’t make verbal offenses, that is, they don’t curse people. Huigen is the same as Huidai, and his mouth is very vicious. He doesn’t even mind cursing people. Why not just curse as much as you want?

It was a pity for the man, because Hui Gen’er spoke in the Shaanxi dialect, which made him confused for a while. He didn’t react for a while, but he still understood the meaning. Perhaps Hui Gen’er angered him, and he snorted and laughed coldly twice. The next moment, he raised his hand and took out a yin instrument, and began to chant…

Where would Hui Gen show weakness? The next moment, he was about to activate the Dharma form…

The wound on my shoulder was burning hot at this point. I shouted, “Stop! Did you come here to fight with us? If not, just tell me who your junior brother is and what your purpose is.”

I shouted, “Stop!” Hui Gen’er naturally did not get excited again. The man was able to suppress his anger and stopped. He said lightly, “My junior brother is Feng Wei. Do you understand my identity now?”

Feng Wei? The person that Master Liu once warned me to be careful about. Why did his brother find me? Why didn’t he come himself? And I could feel that although he was trying to trip me up, he didn’t dare to be too harsh. Or Feng Wei hates someone, but it has nothing to do with him. Is he really as kind to us as he said?

I had a lot of thoughts at the moment, and I hesitated before speaking. Zhao Hong was, after all, an agent. No matter how much this incident had shaken his soul, he had finally recovered at this moment.

While I was silent, Zhao Hong stood next to me and said to me, “Chen Chengyi, the feeling of being possessed by a ghost is that your body will feel cold. Chen Chengyi, what I really want to say is that I won’t be so useless next time.”

In fact, Zhao Hong is a real man and is quite honest. I smiled faintly and said, “You have done well. At least you didn’t pee your pants.”

Zhao Hong was not angry, but he smiled a little embarrassedly, then turned to the man in the lobby downstairs and said, “This is the XX department doing business. Please think carefully before you do anything. And your behavior just now has already touched a certain bottom line.”

This is typical bureaucratic rhetoric. People in the department speak with this kind of color, very official, but under the seemingly peaceful language, the threat is quite strong, which means that ‘the government is doing business, you can weigh whether you can offend it’.

Zhao Hong was not a fool, and he said he was not afraid. Faced with such a strange person, he could really calmly say these words.

I actually suspected the purpose of Feng Wei’s people and what their identity was, so I remained silent and wanted to see what the person who called himself Feng Wei’s senior brother would say.

Sure enough, after Zhao Hong finished speaking, the man sneered and said, “XX Department? Huh, I really don’t care. What kind of trash are you? When people in our circle talk, you’d better not interrupt, or it won’t be fun.”

Zhao Hong was “blocked” like this, and his face immediately sank, but he saw that I didn’t say anything, and in the end, he endured it.

The man seemed impatient and said to me, “Chen Chengyi, as you said, I am too lazy to talk to you. There are indeed special reasons. We cannot let you die, and your junior brother has also been warned to restrain himself, but it does not prevent us from playing with you. However, just now was a little game. I am not in the mood now. I also want to tell you one thing. For this matter, you’d better not get involved. As for how many people from the XX department want to die, just come.”

This is quite arrogant. You should know that the XX department represents the will of the state to a certain extent. Can they do this just by moving the headquarters abroad? What is the reason that they can’t kill me? This is something worth thinking about.

I feel like I’m once again in a situation that’s as mysterious as a riddle, and I can’t see what the road ahead is like.

Now this person is standing in front of me, and I feel that I need to ask him a few questions. I deliberately asked, “What do you mean by not getting involved in any trouble? I don’t understand what you mean. Is there something that I can’t get involved in? Give me a reason.”

But the man’s temperament seemed to be as unpredictable as a teenager. He had just said impatiently, but now he turned around and left. He said, “Chen Chengyi, you must know very well what I’m talking about! Do you want to trap me? Have you not come to this room and found the answer? Hahaha… Chen Chengyi, it’s nothing, almost killed, how did my stupid younger brother lose to you? Hahaha…”

The man laughed as he walked, as if he were telling a very happy story. His footsteps were quick, and gradually the sound of his voice grew farther and farther away, until it was no longer audible.

I had too many doubts in my mind. The most obvious one was how could he silently spy on us? Or was he already waiting here? Thinking more seriously, could this operation have been spied on from the beginning?

However, from the time of the injury to the present, I have been exerting myself too much, and I have torn the wound open again. Without realizing it, the short-sleeved plaid shirt I was wearing had been soaked in blood.

Hui Gen’er shouted next to me, “Brother…” Before he could finish, I felt a wave of weakness, and suddenly I leaned against the railing!

I couldn’t help but swear, “Fuck, is this excessive blood loss?”
