Chapter 3558 Witch's Stage (2)
"...Well, I'm here with Night Demon for now. If you have any news, you can leave me a message directly. I will reply to you as soon as possible."
In an unknown area of the lower-middle class of [Infinite City], Lin SIR was strolling on the street.
Xiao Jiu stayed by Ye Qiu's side, and if anything happened, he could be teleported back directly - Lin SIR planned to observe this replica of Infinite City carefully to get a feel for it.
He tried to find out more about whether [Infinite City] had more connections with the original [Red City].
The status of the Virtual Saint is very special. He comes from the crowd and naturally returns to the crowd.
Just as Li Bai said, the current residents in [Infinite City] all give him a very [weak] feeling... whether it's their breath or their spirit.
"Has the idol not discovered it yet?"
He opened his phone and took a look, only to find that the last message was from more than two hours ago... He reluctantly hung up the phone.
"here it is……"
A not-so-conspicuous sign next to him caught his eye: [Eclipse Detective Agency].
The office still maintained its previously destroyed appearance... and even because of the appearance of the maze, the degree of damage was further increased... Lin SIR couldn't help but frowned at this time.
Why is there someone up there?
……
In an office where half of the wall has peeled off, a figure is searching for something in the chaos... gray hair, sleepy eyes.
Suddenly there was movement.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned around in an instant, his spiritual power covered him, and he swung his hand knife horizontally, which was enough to cut through steel in an instant - but this sudden attack was easily caught by the wrist.
"It's you... Director Ximen."
"Lin..." Ximenka was stunned. At this moment, his wrist was loosened and he immediately reacted, "Meet Lin Xusheng."
"Forget about that." Lin SIR shook his head. "Director Ximen, why are you here?"
Ximen Ka was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "I heard that you went to the General Administration today, and after that, the [Five-member Association] was disbanded without announcing it to the public."
"Inside news spreads very quickly." Lin SIR smiled slightly, "Director Ximen, could it be that you are a member of the Five Members Association?"
Simon Ka shook his head. He was actually not familiar with the person in front of him. When they first met, Lin SIR was introduced as the direct descendant of Ah Ma SIR... But no one expected that when they met again, he had already become a virtual saint.
"Xu Sheng, before I answer your question, can you first tell me... why are you here again?"
"There's nothing I can't tell you." Lin SIR said directly, "The owner of this office was once Captain Miyuki's informant. When [Eclipse] disappeared, Captain Miyuki came in to investigate, and I was also attacked here."
"It's the case of the Spiritual Society." Simon Ka nodded.
"Well, but the case has been closed." Lin SIR thought for a moment and said, "I just happened to pass by here and felt that someone was there, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."
Ximen Ka said, "I came back because before [Eclipse] disappeared, he asked me to keep something... According to the last information he gave me, if he can't get it back within three days, then I can open the things he left behind."
Lin SIR frowned slightly, "What's inside?"
Ximenka did not answer directly, but said: "But in fact, I followed [Eclipse] that night... He was killed that night, and his ghost was taken away by [Duty God]."
"The person who killed [Eclipse] was in league with [Youshen]?" Lin Sir frowned even more deeply. "I remember that [Eclipse] had a punishment wound on his body from the [Three Knives and Six Holes] that the Shinto Society used to punish the defector."
"No." Ximenka shook his head and said, "[Eclipse] was killed first, and then discovered by [Wandering Gods]... Those two [Wandering Gods] should be the guys who escaped when the branch was breached last time, hiding in [Infinite City]... We just happened to run into them."
"Yes." Lin Sir nodded, "So, you came here three days later this time... and it has something to do with the things left behind by [Eclipse]."
Ximenka's expression suddenly became strange, "[Eclipse] may not be dead."
Lin SIR said calmly: "Tell me about it."
Ximenka said directly: "My spirit dog squad discovered that the aura of [Sky Eclipse] appeared here... It will not last more than half a day. This is very strange. I saw with my own eyes that [Sky Eclipse] was detained and his soul was taken away... I even put his body in a conspicuous place so that the guards of [Infinite City] could find it and deal with it in time. My spirit beast squad is not bad either... Xusheng, can you tell me what went wrong when he fell to the ground?"
He stared at Lin SIR...with no attempt to hide the suspicion in his eyes, like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Ah Ma SIR once told Lin Feng about Ximen Ka - he was a guy who could doubt everything. When necessary, he could even doubt whether he was his parents' biological son and would actually go to verify it... He was just a weirdo.
"Can I see the things that [Eclipse] asked you to keep?" Lin SIR suddenly asked.
"Of course." Ximenka agreed immediately, "Let's find a place... I know a place that's suitable for chatting. It's quite private."
After that, Ximen Ka left a rather secret line of garbled code on a corner of the wall. "If [Eclipse] sees this, he should contact me...if he is still alive."
……
"...[Tank] Bar?" Lin SIR looked at the destination where half of the sign had fallen off with a slightly strange look.
When he saw the sign, he suddenly thought of Lin Guobin... So many things happened in this day and night that he subconsciously ignored this matter.
"Lao Ma should have told you that I worked as a private detective for a while." Ximenka smiled calmly, "This is a good place to collect intelligence."
"I know this place." Lin SIR nodded.
Ximen Ka didn't say anything and just pushed the door open... It was afternoon time, so there couldn't be too many customers in the bar - especially with the current chaos in [Infinite City].
There was only an intern here cleaning up the mess... When the two came in, the bar trainee was wiping the floor and looked up with a look of surprise.
Ximen Ka was obviously a regular customer. The trainee at the bar recognized him and said, "What day is it today? Why are there so many people here..."
Ximenka said calmly: "Why, is there anyone else looking for Boss Tank?"
The trainee shrugged. "A guy came in this morning, but he left without saying a word. I was in no mood to greet him. I've been cleaning up the shop for most of the day, but I'm still not done... I'm going to die!"
"Boss Tank hasn't come back yet?" Simonka asked thoughtfully.
The trainee shook his head. "I haven't seen him for a long time... I can't find him even if I call him. Usually at this time, he would have been here a long time ago. It's strange."
"Let me borrow the room upstairs for you so we can talk about something."
"Help yourself. I really don't have time to serve you." The trainee picked up the bucket and walked back. "Get whatever you want to drink. The boss is not here... Hehe, just don't touch the collection in his cabinet."
Then Simon Ka walked directly over the bar and took out an opened bottle of wine from a wine cabinet... He also took two cups and an ice bucket, and finally put two bags of snacks under his arms... He was really skilled.
"Why, don't you like this one?" Seeing Lin SIR standing motionless in front of the door, Ximen Ka raised the drink in his hand and asked puzzledly.
Mr. Lin shook his head, but walked straight to a dark corner of the bar, stared at a painting on the wall, and fell silent.
“What’s wrong with this painting?”
"Do you know the origin of this painting?"
Ximenka thought for a moment and said, "This painting seems to be painted by Tank Boss himself... It is said that it depicts his hometown. The technique is very ordinary, but it does incorporate the emotion of longing... Anyway, I think it is very ordinary."
"The painting is of an osmanthus tree..." Lin SIR casually took out his mobile phone and took a picture of it. It was almost intuitive... He intuitively sent the picture to his idol.
Ximenka looked on curiously.
Mr. Lin said casually, "I have a friend who likes these landscape paintings. Maybe he will be interested... Let's go and see what [Eclipse] left behind."
Ximen Ka did not continue to ask questions. The two of them went upstairs and came to a private box. Ximen Ka took out the notebook he carried with him, then inserted the data disk left by [Eclipse] and pushed the screen in front of Lin SIR.
He slowly put some ice cubes in it and said, "Take a look at it first. I'm new to these things too... I can't really describe how they feel."
Mr. Lin nodded, his eyes fell on the screen, and instantly a line of headlines came into his sight.
——[Blood Saint Completion].
He suddenly looked up at Simonka, who was pouring wine...with steady hands.
……
……
"...No news yet?"
"No, the manpower we can mobilize in [Huoyun City] is very limited at the moment, especially in [Infinite City]." Pei Yulou looked frowned.
"No matter what, the people in the [Biyou Club] in [Infinite City], whether they are alive or dead, cannot be used now." Zhao Wumian said directly: "Let the town-level clerks under [Huoyun City] come up to support as soon as possible."
"They are on their way back. It will take some time."
Zhao Wumian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed his brows... After a night of thrills and surviving a disaster, there was no better news, but worse news.
Liu is missing.
Zhao Wumian found A Fei. When he found the child, he was frantically looking for Da Liu in a daze. According to A Fei's description, Da Liu was found by a scary old woman holding a sledgehammer, who kept pestering him.
After the big impact, Ah Fei was knocked unconscious.
"Da Liu should have encountered the host of the [Forbidden Tool]." Zhao Wumian pondered and said: "According to Ah Fei's description, the other party should have [Splitting Heaven and Breaking Earth]... I remember that it was mentioned in the intelligence I collected about the host of the [Forbidden Tool] before."
"Saru Tetsu'nan, one of the former hall masters of the Shinto Association... After the Shinto Association was destroyed overnight, he also disappeared. He reappeared many years later, and committed crimes in thirteen lower continents. He is an extreme female cultivator. He secretly built a palace, enslaved thousands of male cultivators, and called herself the [Iron Empress]." Pei Yulou said quickly: "Could it be that Liu Da was defeated and has been..."
Zhao Wumian snorted coldly: "Iron Empress? The self-proclaimed empress is not even as good as Ji!"
A maid announced at the door at this time.
Zhao Wumian frowned - she was currently in the original [Biyou Club] in [Infinite City]. The person who should have died in the maze was resurrected the next day. This was strange enough to make Zhao Wumian stay here.
Although she will not actively use these [resurrected] people, these people will still continue to serve her...and it seems that they are no different.
"What's the matter?" Pei Yulou asked calmly.
"Miss, the Fifth Heavenly King has sent you an invitation to attend the [Forbidden Tools] auction tonight. Do you want to reply?"
"What [forbidden tool]?" Zhao Wumian was stunned.
"It says [Forbidden Tool - Emperor's Hate Sword]." The maid said quickly, "The messenger has left. It seems that he is going to deliver an invitation letter somewhere else. He looks very hurried."
"Leave the invitation here, you go down first." Pei Yulou calmly dismissed the maid, then took the invitation and took a look at it, his face strange: "The invitation is indeed signed [Monday Room]... The problem is, isn't [Emperor Hate Sword] already?"
Zhao Wumian thought for a moment and said, "Yulou, you said that Da Liu's disappearance may be related to this incident?"
"What do you think of this, young lady?"
"Intuition." Zhao Wumian stood by the window, hands behind his back, confident and calm, "This Fifth Heavenly King is not simple. I don't know what he is up to."
"How should I reply?"
"Since the invitation has been delivered, it won't hurt to go again." Zhao Wumian said calmly: "If it doesn't work, just buy another [Forbidden Tool]."
Pei Yulou opened his mouth subconsciously, "Although...but Miss, your socks are the same color! And your hair is too oily!"
……
……
……
……
Dripping water.
Drops of cold water continued to drip onto his cheeks... This subconsciously reminded him of a rather ancient punishment.
The confused consciousness gradually cleared, and Liu opened his eyes in extremely poor physical condition.
Hard floor, solid walls, dim and square... a cold cage.
"This is...there..."
He struggled to get up, but a feeling of weakness almost made him fall down. Finally, he even found that his entire left arm was covered with a heavy black shackle - it looked like it was filled with plaster.
Da Liu couldn't help but frown. The [Hand Armor of the Light Dragon King] implanted in his arm seemed to be completely cut off from him. He subconsciously waved his heavy and clumsy left arm, and the wall collided with the shackles on his arm, making a clanging sound.
Bang——! ! !
He swung it again with force, but felt a piercing pain. Even with his resilience, he almost cried out in pain - but even so, the pain still made Liu Da sweat coldly.
"Hey, you finally woke up."
A rough voice was heard in the darkness... Da Liu's hair stood on end. He looked in the direction of the voice and vaguely saw a figure walking towards him in the darkness.
"You'd better be quiet, or I can't guarantee you'll attract anything."
"It's you……"
The other party came into Liu Da's sight—it was actually the host of [Splitting Heaven and Breaking Earth]!
She looked at least a few decades older, and her strong muscles had mostly atrophied... and, like herself, this woman was also wearing a heavy black shackle.
"...What is this place?" asked Da Liu in a deep voice.
Giant hammer girl... Saru Tetsuo shrugged, "I don't know, I was in this damn place when I woke up. This should be a cage, and there are only you and me... and a little guy."
Da Liu couldn't help but frown, looking around in confusion and seriousness, and finally found a curled up figure in the corner in the extremely dim environment.
Unlike his sealed left arm... the curled up man had his entire head covered with a black hood.
