Chapter 655: Chapter 524: Source_4
"Quit the chatter, what’s your relationship with each other?" the girl interrogated.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said coyly after a beat, "We... Although we’re both in that line of work, our relationship... you know, it’s that kind of relationship."
"Lovers?" the man in charge asked.
"That’s right." Lu Wencheng was also ruthless and admitted it immediately.
"Oh?" The man in charge took off his police cap, revealing a head of silver hair, and suddenly smiled, "Really?"
"Of course it’s true, the affection between men is something you wouldn’t understand." Lu Wencheng said passionately, and Yang Xiao noticed that Lu Wencheng’s acting wasn’t bad either.
"Then prove it to me," the silver-haired man tilted his chin upward.
Yang Xiao and Lu Wencheng were both stunned at the same time. Lu Wencheng’s mind spun rapidly, realizing that some blood would have to be spilled today to fool these guys. If that was the case, he needed to strike first. He planned to grab Yang Xiao and put on an act of protecting his spouse to seize the initiative, but the next second, his waist was wrapped in a strong arm. Before Lu Wencheng could react, he was already face to face with Yang Xiao’s icy, masked profile.
"Darling, don’t be afraid, I’m here," Yang Xiao consoled, with a deep and magnetic voice, without glancing at Lu Wencheng in his arms.
Lu Wencheng: "??"
Unexpectedly, the girl across from them laughed even harder, clapping her hands and exclaiming, "Not enough, not enough, I want to see something more explosive."
Hearing this, Lu Wencheng had had enough and pushed Yang Xiao away while sneering coldly at the three of them. He swiftly pulled out the large ruler hidden in the tennis bag behind him and pointed it at the trio, "Enough is enough, you don’t appreciate the face given, hell has no door yet you bring yourself here, I, Lu Wencheng, don’t regard a few Patrol Defense Office investigators highly!"
"As expected, an Angel Envoy," the silver-haired man was not surprised.
"If you’re wise, clear the way. Leave all the case documents in your hands, and I will not hold you accountable today. Otherwise, heh, don’t blame me for not going easy," Lu Wencheng declared confidently, feeling he had the right to say such words. He rarely met an opponent at the Fierce Grade, let alone these weaklings from the Patrol Defense Office.
Seeing that the three of them paid him no attention, Lu Wencheng finally moved to strike. He didn’t want their lives, but teaching them a lesson was necessary, and most crucially, after subduing the three, he could get the specifics of the supernatural incident from their mouths.
Lu Wencheng made his move, swinging the ruler and rushing towards the silver-haired leader, aiming for the king first. These three were too slow to react, and Lu Wencheng was almost in front of the man when the man casually lifted his hand, holding a brass pocket watch.
As the cover of the pocket watch snapped open, Lu Wencheng suddenly felt a change in his surroundings, but couldn’t quite identify what it was. However, as an observer, Yang Xiao was shocked. He saw Lu Wencheng, who was charging forward vigorously, as if a slow-motion button had been hit, his movements slackened by more than five times. With an extremely graceful sidestep, the silver-haired man dodged Lu Wencheng’s attack and casually pulled out a silver-colored revolver from his chest, firing at the back of Lu Wencheng’s head without a glance.
"Bang!"
Lu Wencheng fell to the ground, his ruler flying several meters away, lying there motionless.
Then, the silver-haired man, expressionless, raised his gun towards Yang Xiao, who very sensibly raised his hands high, knelt facing the wall with his back to the three, and shouted, "Don’t shoot, big brother, we can talk this out!"
The girl clicked her tongue and stepped forward, intending to handcuff Yang Xiao, only to discover that his left hand was missing.
"What happened?" the girl asked.
"Speaking to my sister, I thought to eliminate a scourge for the people, encountered that ’Ghost’, and just like that, it happened," Yang Xiao mostly lied with a shred of truth.
He had figured it out, these guys were not ordinary investigators. He wasn’t sure about the two who hadn’t made a move, but this leading silver-haired man was at least of Ghost Level, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to defeat Lu Wencheng in two moves, a feat not even the Pingxi Marquis could achieve.
Yang Xiao was escorted in front of the silver-haired man, squatting obediently. It was also now that Yang Xiao confirmed that Lu Wencheng on the ground wasn’t dead. His eyes were open like a vegetable, blowing bubbles from his mouth.
"You are all Angel Envoys who have taken on a job to come here, right?" the silver-haired man looked down upon Yang Xiao, staring into his eyes.
Unable to clearly explain his identity, and hearing this answer, Yang Xiao simply admitted it and continued, "Yes, we... we came for the money."
The youngest male team member snorted in contempt, "With your little skill, you still dare to join in the bustle? Truly ignorant of life and death."
The silver-haired man gave Yang Xiao a cold glance, clearly not taking him seriously, "How many of you came here?"
"Not just the two of us, exactly how many, I’m not sure," Yang Xiao cautiously replied, also observing the silver-haired man’s microexpressions.
"Among those who came, someone here committed murder, and they were no amateur. Do you know who it was?" the silver-haired man gave a signal, and the young male team member took out a photo from his pocket for Yang Xiao to see. The photo showed a bloody skeleton with a bloodstained mask on its skull, marked with the number 83 from the ’Sky’ series.
"The body was found this morning, in Building 1, with severe signs of damage to the lower half, and we suspect the perpetrator is an Evil Cultivator," the silver-haired man paused, then softly cautioned, "A person from the Black Buddha Mother."
