Chapter 838: Number eight’s job (1)
Was he really on a business trip on the 8th?
Lu Xin looked at number eight with a strange look in his eyes. He had already treated number eight to a meal and reminisced about the past. He had also asked number eight about the past. If number eight really had a hidden motive, he should be telling the truth now, right?
But even now, he still answered this way, and very frankly.
Now, faced with number eight’s invitation, he fell silent for a moment and seriously pondered this question.
If No. 8 was really just visiting him and teacher Lu, then he could really relax.
Lu Xin was indeed curious about his work.
Lu Xin exchanged a look with the ‘waiter’ of the restaurant and nodded. “Alright!”
..
..
Number eight was a very dangerous person.
This kind of danger did not necessarily mean that he had any ill intentions.
It was because he was a ” strange person ” who could escape the special pollution department’s sight even though he had a mental Overlord in Qing gang city. Moreover, the mental Overlord himself felt the danger in him and needed to come to him to keep an eye on him.
For such a person to come to Green Harbor openly without knowing his purpose, no one could be at ease.
Qing gang also had the same attitude.
They didn’t force number eight to do anything, but it was necessary to monitor her.
However, compared to the other special agents and aptitude users, Lu Xin, who had been invited by number eight, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
After making a promise to accompany number eight to do his work, the atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed.
Lu Xin and number eight each drank a bottle of beer, and even teacher Lu slowly finished a small bowl of rice.
Seeing that it was about time, Lu Xin sent Lu mingshu back. Under such circumstances, he could have asked Chen Jing or the lizard to send her back, but Lu Xin insisted on doing it himself.
As for the half an hour of math class, it was naturally canceled because there wasn’t enough time.
Lu Xin had done a good deed.
When they came out of the orphanage, they saw a Jeep waiting for them.
Lu Xin led No. 8 into the Jeep and sat in the front passenger seat.
The two of them took advantage of the fact that night had not yet fallen and drove straight out of qingang into the wilderness.
..
..
“You want to ask me how I survived, don’t you?”
When the Jeep drove into the wilderness without street lights, everything around them became gloomy.
The Crimson Moon was still in the sky, but it was already in the West.
In addition, the weather was a little cloudy, so the light was very dim. Only the Jeep’s headlights cut through the darkness and illuminated the rugged road ahead. There were potholes, gravel, and some puddles of water left behind by the recent rain.
It was quiet outside the car, and it was also very dull inside the car. No. 8 didn’t turn on the music.
He was driving quietly for a few hours before he suddenly asked with a smile, ”
Lu Xin turned to look at him and nodded.
“She was saved by the director.”
I thought I was dead, ” number eight replied with a smile. I fell into an eternal sleep with disappointment in this world.
“But I didn’t expect to suddenly wake up. It was the director who saved me.”
the director is very capable. He has a special mental power that played a big role in saving us.
“..”
At this point, he paused for a moment before turning to Lu Xin.
I saw Lu in the wheelchair. Her spine must have been seriously injured.
it’s a pity. She used to be a girl who ran so fast …
she’s always jumping around like a little deer. That’s why everyone gave her such a name, right? ”
“..”
Lu Xin sat in the passenger seat silently. He rolled down the window and slowly lit a cigarette.
I’ve observed her. Her injuries can’t be cured by ordinary medical technology. You probably understand this.
Number eight continued, as if he was just lamenting.
Lu Xin, on the other hand, remained silent as he smoked his cigarette.
Only a small portion of the light from the car’s headlights was reflected into the car, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
Lu Xin’s face was expressionless as he sat there in silence.
The sadness in her heart was like a cigarette that would light up from time to time, appearing faintly.
Number eight sighed. however, if there’s a chance, we can find the old principal. He might be able to cure her.
Lu Xin slowly turned around and looked at number eight seriously.
She was different from before. It was easier for her to understand certain things and she could control her emotions better.
So, after a moment of silence, he asked softly, “”You’re working for the director?”
The atmosphere in the car seemed to have become slightly depressing.
“No.”
However, number eight shook his head calmly and said, ” back then, I wanted to become the director’s assistant. I felt that I had reached the standards of being his assistant, but unfortunately, when I learned some of the director’s thoughts, I still rejected it.
“The Dean has his own pursuits and goals, and I have mine.”
so I left him and found this job that I’m currently doing.
In the dim light, he turned to Lu Xin and smiled, “”I like it very much. This is the career I want to do.”
Lu Xin furrowed his brows.
The conversation with number eight made him feel uncomfortable.
After a while, he directly asked, “”So, what is the old principal’s plan?”
“I can’t tell you.”
Number eight shook his head. besides, I’ve only guessed a little. I can’t touch the core, ” he said directly.
it’s probably because I don’t know the core, so the Dean let me go. Otherwise, with his personality …
“..”
At this point, he shook his head and sighed.
The strange feeling in Lu Xin’s heart grew stronger and stronger, and he couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.
However, at this moment, number eight had already raised his head and looked diagonally ahead. He said softly, “”We’ll be there soon.”
Lu Xin glanced at him and decided to put the topic aside for the time being.
Following his gaze, they saw a light lighting up at the end of the dark earth.
Judging from the distance, it should be a 40 to 50-minute journey.
He pulled out the map on his glasses and found that the location should be a gathering point called Ono mountain.
The information showed that there were about 20000 people gathered in this place, and they usually made a living by searching for scraps and doing underground transactions.
Who knew how many of these gathering points there were in the wilderness?
What was number eight doing here?
Could it be that he also had some goods that could not be seen in the light and needed to borrow their market to sell?
..
..
there’s a man in there who calls himself general Ono San, but he’s actually just a village chief.
there are many tough people in the wilderness, ” number eight explained. it’s hard to survive if you’re not ruthless. This general Ono San is a person who lives very well. He was different from those who originally lived in the wilderness and wanted to live in the high wall city. He originally lived in the high wall city, but because he committed a crime, he escaped from the high wall city and ended up here.”
“Not only did his life not become terrible because of this, it even became more colorful.”
“He was born to live a life of the strong preying on the weak in the wilderness.”
in just a few years, he became the leader of a search team in Ono mountain. Then, he smothered the old general in Ono mountain with a pillow when he was seriously ill. He killed the old General’s entire family, including his subordinates, a total of 32 people, and fed them to the pigs.
“From then on, he became general Ono San.”
because he grew up in the high wall city and came from a well-off family, he was well aware of the rules in the city. He hooked up with several powerful officials, including your Qing gang, and secretly sold stolen goods for them, as well as dealt with some shady work.
“On the surface, his main business is to collect and dispose of stolen goods, but in fact, he’s better at robbery.”
until now, there are not many rumors about him robbing the caravans in the wilderness because he is careful.
“He’s careful, so he never leaves anyone alive.”
even if it’s a beautiful woman that makes his heart flutter, he will kill her directly after toying with her.
“..”
Lu Xin’s brows furrowed deeply as he listened to number eight’s recount.
Without a doubt, number eight was talking about a bad person.
Even if only half of what this person had done was true, it could still be considered a heinous crime.
However, number eight’s arrival …
“This is my business …”
While Lu Xin was lost in his thoughts, number eight smiled and took the initiative to speak, “”I’m here to judge him.”
..
..
Before Lu Xin could ask further, No. 8 had already stopped the car, and the gate of the Ono mountain gathering point could be seen in the distance.
No. 8 pushed open the car door and put on his suit jacket. Then, he picked up the black suitcase that he always carried with him and walked toward the gate of the gathering point with Lu Xin. From afar, they could see the armed guards outside the gathering point.
“Who’s there?”
Seeing a car coming in the dark, the guards were already on guard. When they saw people, they immediately pointed their guns at them.
Hello, I’m the executioner of the midnight court, Xu Jing.
Number eight arrived at the entrance of the gathering point and immediately announced his identity. At the same time, he smiled and took out a business card from his pocket for them to see.
Lu Xin noticed that there was nothing on the black name card. It was completely blank.
However, all the armed guards were attracted by the name card.
Then, their eyes were slightly dazed as they slowly made way for him.
No. 8 entered the gathering point and walked towards the villa located at the innermost part of the mountain.
When he met people asking for directions on the way, he would show his business card. No matter who it was, he would immediately let them go.
When they passed by, those people regained their consciousness, but they seemed to have forgotten that they had seen them.
As they chatted, they walked forward. In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the villa of general Ono San. Then, he asked his security guard to open the door and went straight into the hall. They climbed up the creaking wooden stairs and came to a big bed.
Number eight put down the black box and opened it gently. Inside were tools that were as exquisite as art pieces.
For example, there was a silver, long, sharp, narrow knife with a beautiful arc, a pair of stainless steel hooks in a Black Red velvet box, a row of long and thin nails inserted into leather utensils, a colorful and beautiful-looking liquid, a bundle of long and thin barbed wire, and more.
After taking off his suit jacket, number eight put on a pair of white rubber gloves.
He turned to Lu Xin and smiled at the man who was lying on the bed, “”Now, I’m going to start working.”
