Chapter 282
282 Chapter 282-following the vine to find the melon
Almost at the same time as Xia Pingan got on the horse, at a railed bus stop on runyi Street in the West of Shangjing city, a middle-aged man, who looked gentle and full of charm, was walking up to the bus stop. He was wearing a long black umbrella, a black leather briefcase, a wool coat, a waistcoat, and a linen shirt. He had a pair of glasses, a little white sideburns, and a trimmed beard on his lips.
In Shangjing, those men who would bring an umbrella, carry a briefcase, and take the railed train when it was not raining were generally decent middle-class people in the city. They had a stable income and decent jobs. They were the backbone of banks, exchanges, firms, law firms, and accounting firms. Some ran their own small businesses and lived a good life.
When there were many people in the station, there were at least 3 – 4 men like him.
In Shangjing, such a person was full of gentlemanly manners and looked the most harmless.
A Paperboy was peddling his wares near the bus stop.
When taking the bus, it was the best way for some people to buy a newspaper.
I’m selling the newspaper! I’m selling the newspaper! The good news is that the judgement Army has taken action. The demons of the bloody demon church who caused the tragedy on the peach blossom bridge yesterday have been executed! the newspaper boy shouted in a tender but loud voice at the bus stop, waving the newspaper in his hand.
Hearing the newspaper boy’s voice, a strange look flashed across the gentle middle-aged man’s eyes. He called the newspaper boy over, ” here, give me a newspaper.
Hello, Sir. Three copper coins, please. The Paperboy quickly ran over and handed over a copy of Shangjing daily.
The middle-aged man paid a few copper coins. Just as he bought the newspaper, a railed bus drove over from a distance. The ticket seller at the door of the bus stretched his hand out of the window with a brass bell in his hand. He was ringing it hard to remind the passengers on the platform and the people on the roadside.
The bus entered the station. With a swish, white steam rose, and the door of the bus opened automatically. The people waiting at the station got on the bus from the front door.
The middle-aged man also got on the bus. There were not many people on the bus. A few people got off the back door and left a few empty seats. The middle-aged man sat in one of the seats.
The boiler room was at the back of such a railed bus. It was a bit noisy and hot. In cold weather, some people might like it; however, in summer, few people would follow it.
tickets, tickets, two copper coins for the bridge of joy, three copper coins for Qingfeng Road, and four copper coins for cloud Valley Lane. the bus started again, and the ticket seller with a loose leather bag on his back began to sell tickets on the bus.
The middle-aged man took out another four copper coins and bought a ticket to cloud Valley Lane. When the ticket seller returned to his seat, the middle-aged man put the black leather briefcase on his lap and hung the umbrella on the handrail and railing beside him. Then, he opened the newspaper and carefully read it.
“Water demon misty sea,””fishing village by the sea,””last night,””killed wangliang,” these words immediately entered the middle-aged man’s field of vision.
The middle-aged man’s neck felt a little cold, and he couldn’t help but twist his body on the bus.
When he saw the name of the black mist sea and the location of the fishing village, the middle-aged man knew that the black mist sea was really dead. It was not a lie.
The ruling Army? So fast?
The middle-aged man’s gaze inadvertently lifted from behind his glasses and swept across the people in the car. Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the car and that all the people coming and going were ordinary faces, his heart felt a little more at ease. However, he still couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
The misty sea must have left some traces when it released the water demons yesterday, which exposed its whereabouts. That was why the judgement Army caught up to it and killed it.
The middle-aged man cursed in his heart. He thought that he could ‘do great things’ with the Xuanji sea, but he did not expect that the Xuanji sea would die as soon as it appeared. The Xuanji sea was the first one to die among the five Devils in Shangjing. Although the five Devils went their own ways and there was no friendship between them, the death of the Xuanji sea made him feel that if his lips were to die, his teeth would be cold.
However, he was also rejoicing in his heart. It was fortunate that he had held back when he went to see the misty sea yesterday and did not reveal anything. He had also left the small fishing village early. If the people from the judgement Army had tracked down the small fishing village early on, would he have also been killed?
This middle-aged man was the dark Demon.
The dark demon’s real name was Yang Ying, while his current name was Li Zhao.
If he wanted to do something big in Shangjing, he had to integrate into Shangjing. With an identity in Shangjing, it would be the easiest way to hide and the best way to deceive the adjudicator Army. On this point, he had the same idea as xuanhai.
Xuanji hai became an old fisherman by the sea, while he became the owner of a small bookstore in the city. The real Li Zhao was gone. His wife had passed away, and he had a son who was serving in the Army in another city and would not be back for two years. This kind of Shangjing local with a family, a family, and social connections was better at disguising himself. Moreover, Li Zhao opened a bookstore, and his social connections were simple. It was easy for him to put himself in his shoes.
With the death of Ying Yinghai, the dark demons ‘plan to target Xia Pingan was ruined.
After being in Shangjing for so many days, this was the first time the dark Demon felt that this city was full of danger to them.
Once his identity as a member of the blood demon church was exposed and he couldn’t escape in time, there would only be one outcome-death.
The adjudicator Army had not been able to defend Shangjing by luck.
After reading the newspaper, the dark Demon folded it carefully and put it into his bag slowly. A cunning light flashed in his eyes. It seemed like he had to make a new plan.
After two stops, the dark Demon saw someone sitting down in front of him. The number of people on the bus increased, and the dark demon’s expression became normal again. He even smiled.
When the car was about to arrive at cloud Valley square, an old man got on the car. Dark Demon then stood up with a smile as he offered his seat to the old man. When the car stopped, he got off the car with an umbrella.
There were several universities in Shangjing near cloud Valley Lane. There were many students nearby, so there were many bookstores here, and Li’s bookstore was one of them.
The Li’s bookstore was located on a small street full of sycamore trees. It wasn’t a big shop and was divided into two floors. It mainly sold technical reference books and some drawing tools. The price was reasonable and was popular with students from the nearby dashang National Engineering College.
The dark Demon came to the bookstore. Not long after the door opened, a student came to buy books and drawing tools. Half an hour later, just as a student who bought a set of drawing tools left, the doorbell rang, and another person came in.
A young man in his 20s came in. He was wearing a black suit and a hat, looking very young.
“Boss, have you arrived the book” design of boiler pressure and pipeline water supply “that I asked for last time?” The youth asked loudly the moment he entered.
Oh, she’s here. She came here two days ago. She’s upstairs. I’ll go find Yingying for you. the dark Demon glanced at the young man and went upstairs. The young man followed him to the second floor.
There was no one on the second floor of the bookstore. When the two of them walked up, the wooden stairs even creaked.
mianji sea is dead, mianji. the moment he went upstairs, the youth’s face had turned gloomy as he whispered, ” his action on peach blossom bridge yesterday was too risky; otherwise, his trace would not have been exposed. We should contact mianji less recently.
Dark Demon turned around and took a book from the shelf. The young man who came to buy the book couldn’t see his expression, ” I just read the newspaper. I just got some news. I was planning to go to Xuanji sea today and discuss it with him. If we’re lucky, we might be able to get a batch of immortal pills. Who would have thought that …
“Oh, what news?” The youth’s expression changed when he heard about the undying pill, and a hint of greed appeared on his face.
do you still remember the few space travelers who were wanted by the shrine master with the immortal pill? one of them is in Shangjing city, and I already know his identity, ” the dark Demon took a book and turned around with a calm expression, ” if we can capture him, the shrine master will definitely reward us handsomely. I wonder if you’re interested in splitting the immortal pill equally with us if we succeed? ”
“You were planning to work with the Yinghai sea?” The youth who came to buy books asked calmly.
yes, the Xuanji sea does have some tricks up their sleeves in the water. I didn’t expect him to be so reckless either. The judgement Army acted so quickly. It’s the same to work with you now, Xuanji.
“Why don’t you look for the corpse demon and the dream demon?”
the corpse demon is very powerful, but the adjudicator Army is also very close to him. He has temporarily left Shangjing these few days and is hiding outside. It will be easier for me to be exposed if I look for him. The dream demon is used to acting alone. Ever since he came to Shangjing, it is as if the dream demon has disappeared. I can’t contact him. If you are interested, we can cooperate. If you are not, I will come to explore by myself.
“Where’s the space dweller now? what’s his identity?” The eyes of the young man who came to buy the book moved as he asked.
“If you agree, I’ll tell you. If you don’t, then you don’t have to get involved in this, Yingluo.”
the person the hallmaster wants to kill is naturally the person I want to kill as well. He’s just a space dweller. It’s not a big deal. I can make you any poison you want, but I won’t show my face. Shangjing is very dangerous now.
“You’ll only get thirty percent of the immortal pill!”
“I want at least 50%!” The young man who came to buy the book said firmly.
40% at most. It’s not that easy to kill that man. The adjudicator Union already knows his identity and are using him to lure us. I’m acting alone, so even with your poison, I’ll take most of the risk!
“Okay, deal. What kind of poison do you want?”
“Vanishing shadow poison!”
The young man who came to buy the book pondered for a moment. vanishing shadow poison is one of the most difficult living poisons to concoct. Any Summoner’s shadow below the five sun realm will die if they touch it. I need three days to concoct it!
“Sure, I’ll wait for you for three days!” The dark Demon said.
……
The young man left with the book.
The boy of fortune and life followed him.
After leaving the bookstore, the young man who came to buy books got into a rental carriage by the road. An hour later, the rental carriage stopped at the entrance of a water treatment plant in Shangjing. After greeting the security guard at the entrance of the water treatment plant, the young man directly entered the water treatment plant.
