Chapter 13: He Ran Away
Cangnan City, a certain high-rise.
Creak.
The door to the room was slowly pushed open, and Zhao Kongcheng walked in shriveled up, sighing every now and then.
”Old Zhao, what’s wrong with you?”
The five people sitting inside the room saw Zhao Kongcheng’s appearance and asked with some surprise.
”Did you get hurt last night?”
”Look at this look, the possibility of losing your love is relatively high ah ……”
”Crap, Old Zhao, it’s not possible that your wife is going to divorce you, right?”
”Don’t talk nonsense.”
Five people you a word and I a word of speculation, after a long time, the silent Zhao Kongcheng sighed quietly.
”Am I really …… that unattractive?”
”……”
The five people coincidentally rolled their eyes, pretending not to have heard the words, and each continued to busy themselves with the matter at hand, some sharpening their knives, some polishing their guns, some playing with their cell phones, and some sleeping ……
”No, I’m asking you guys very seriously!” Zhao Kongcheng was anxious.
Seeing that no one paid attention to Zhao Kongcheng after a long time, Red Tassel, who was polishing his gun, sighed, “Brother Kongcheng, stimulated?”
”Sort of.” Zhao Kongcheng paused, “I ran into the owner of that Golden Forbidden Market last night.”
Hearing these latter words, everyone jerked their heads up, stopping what they were doing and their eyes began to light up.
”That guy who is suspected to be a Blazing Angel Agent?”
”Uh-huh.”
”Isn’t it very strong? What is he?”
”You guys are thinking too much.” Zhao Empyrean shook his head, “Just an ordinary high school student, that ‘Klein’ level power fluctuation should just be the remnants of the power left by the Blazing Angel on him, he’s still a newcomer who has just stepped into the ‘Marigold’ realm. ”
Hearing this, a slight disappointment showed in the eyes of several people.
”I thought Cangnan City had come to a ‘Klein’ level powerhouse ……”
”But yeah, if that extremely dangerous god really chose an agent and grew to the ‘Klein’ level, there’s no way the higher-ups wouldn’t know about it.”
The eyes of the man sitting on the sofa narrowed slightly, “In any case, the fact that the Blazing Angel chose an agent and bestowed a divine ruin is a big deal, and it’s important to report it to the higher-ups in a hurry.”
”By the way, since you ran into him, Old Zhao, where is he? Did you not bring back such an important person?”
”He ran away …… “Zhao Empyrean City spoke quietly, “He told me to go get his book bag, then ran away while I was out of my mind.”
”…… “The crowd was speechless.
Just as a few people were about to spit out some good words, the door to the room was opened once again.
A man still wearing a dark red cloak walked in, blood still remaining on his face, and his steps heavy as lead.
Seeing this man, everyone including Zhao Kongcheng immediately stood up.
”Captain!”
”Captain, are you alright?”
The captain waved his hand, removed his blood-stained cloak, and sat down on the small stool next to the door, an indescribable exhaustion between his brows.
”I’m fine, but …… the Ghostface King ran away.”
The faces of several people were suddenly grave.
The captain continued, “I chased the Ghostface King all the way to the suburbs outside the northern city last night, and fought with it, it was seriously injured, and then it forced its escape by injuring its own origin at no cost.”
”In that case, the Ghostface King might have escaped Cangnan City by now?”
”No, not necessarily.” The man sitting on the sofa suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at him, and the captain’s eyebrows rose slightly, “Tell me, Xiangnan.”
Wu Xiangnan slowly stood up and pulled out a map of Cangnan City’s surroundings from under the sofa, unfolding it on the ground.
”Cangnan City is in a remote location, and it’s also farther away from the nearby cities; the captain fought with the Ghostface King last night in the northern suburbs, and apart from Cangnan City, the nearest city there is dozens of kilometers away.” Wu Xiangnan drew a circle on the map.
”Then what’s wrong?” Red Tassel’s eyes were filled with doubt.
And at this moment, the captain’s eyes gradually brightened, “The Ghostface King is seriously injured, and until he recovers his strength, he can’t cross such a long distance.”
Wu Xiangnan continued with the captain’s words, “And if the Ghost Face King wants to recover its strength, it can only rely on eating people, which means ……”
”It will definitely return to Cangnan City?”
”That’s right.”
Zhao Empyrean City’s brows furrowed slightly, “But Cangnan City is so big, we have no idea where it will appear from.”
”The sewers.” Wu Xiangnan pushed his glasses and sketched a curve on the map with a red pen, “Ghost Masks love to drill sewers, and the Ghost Mask King escaped through a sewer before, there is only one sewer that connects to the outskirts of the northern city, which means that the location where the Ghost Mask King appeared is most likely in one of the places that this sewer passes through.”
”Immediately send people to search along this sewer, this time, we must not let it escape!” A cold aura flashed across the captain’s eyes and he instantly ordered.
”Roger that!”
”Right, there’s one more thing.” Wu Xiangnan turned his head to look at Zhao Kongcheng, “Make sure to bring back the Blazing Angel’s agent, his potential is too great, and he absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the Ancient God Church! In a sense, this matter has a higher priority than purging the Ghostface King!”
Zhao Empyrean City immediately puffed out his chest, “Leave this matter to me, I will definitely catch this brat back with my own hands!”
”Didn’t he run away? You can still find him?” Hong Ying muttered in a small voice.
”He’s wearing the uniform of the second middle school, I’ll block the entrance of the school today, I don’t believe I can’t block him!”
A confident smile surfaced at the corner of Zhao Kongcheng’s mouth.
”Brother, why don’t you go to school today?”
Yang Jin looked at Lin Qiye, who wasn’t wearing a school uniform or holding a school bag, and asked curiously.
”There’s something going on today, so I won’t go first.” Lin Qiye opened the door while putting on her shoes, “Auntie is still sleeping?”
”She just came back an hour ago.”
”I know, go to school early in a while, you can’t learn from me.”
”Okay.”
Lin Qiye closed the door and silently removed the black satin from his eyes and put it in his pocket.
His eyes had recovered, but he hadn’t spoken to his aunt and Yang Jin yet, firstly because his aunt had worked the late shift last night and the two hadn’t seen each other at all.
As for the second point, Lin Qiye had only just obtained these eyes, he was still unable to control the power in his eyes very well, that golden light would still sometimes suddenly emerge from the bottom of his eyes, although it wasn’t very noticeable, if his aunt and the girls saw it, they would definitely force themselves to check their eyes again and spend money for nothing.
He wanted to wait until he could fully control his eyes before announcing this.
But since he was out the door, Lin Qiye didn’t need to wrap the black satin anymore, it would be too noticeable.
Lin Qiye pulled out the sunglasses that Yang Jin had bought for himself earlier from his pocket, put on the glasses, and took big steps towards the bus stop.
After a bumpy ride of over an hour, Lin Qiye finally arrived at his destination.
Sunshine Mental Hospital.
The last time Lin Qiye came here was ten years ago.
In these ten years, Lin Qiye had changed a lot, and so had this mental hospital.
All the old walls had been renovated, the main gate was twice as spacious as before, two modern high-rise buildings replaced the original three-story building, and even the six big words “Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital” had become gilt stamping!
Standing at the main entrance, Lin Qiye could no longer connect the modern hospital in front of him with the small building in his memory.
The only thing that hadn’t changed was perhaps the old man at the gate.
It was just that his figure was much more stooped and his hair was much more gray.
The old man seemed to have seen Lin Qiye, narrowed his eyes, and raised his right hand to point at Lin Qiye ……
Just when Lin Qiye thought that the grandpa remembered him and was about to greet him, the
The grandpa shouted loudly:
”That stupid kid over there! You’re blocking the car behind you!”
