CH 23

Gu Shengan follows Xiao Lan out the door with hesitant little steps.

Outside the door, the hooded black cat is already waiting in the corridor, and when he sees Xiao Lan coming out, he walks straight ahead and starts to lead the way, his light steps falling without a sound on the floor.

Luo stops at a corner.

Xiao Lan uses the wall to conceal her form and quietly peers out.

Yang Degao was seen pacing back and forth with an anxious look on his face, his whole spine arched, his hands rubbing nervously together, muttering under his breath as he walked, “No, no, you haven’t come to me in ten years, how could you come now ……”

The more he walked, the more anxious he became, his breathing seemed laboured, beads of sweat slid down the top of his thinning head, and eventually he even began to thump the wall.

Suddenly a strong force came from behind, pushing Yang Degao straight into a stumble.

Before he could stand, a pair of arms restrained him from moving, followed by a thick rope that tied him from top to bottom.

The whole thing was done in one go, and Yang Degao is still not sure what happened. How did he end up on the ground? He never got a good look at his attacker from start to finish.

Xiao Lan opened the door to a room in three seconds and carried the man straight in with one hand.

Turning to Gu Shengan, who was still frozen outside the door, he beckoned, “Come in, what are you still doing out here?”

Gu Shengan was just waking up from Xiao Lan’s set of moves and looked at him with awe: “Xiao …… Brother Xiao, have you practiced this?”

Xiao Lan nodded, “A few more tries and you’ll be fine.”

When I used to work in a bar, I would always encounter drunk and disorderly customers. It was useless to reason with the drunks, and I couldn’t beat them up, so it was safest to restrain them and send them out.

So it’s really just a case of practice makes perfect.

Gu Shengan trembled and stood in a more respectful posture: ” Brother Xiao, are we preparing to use torture?”

Xiao Lan gave him a look that said, “Do you understand the rule of law?”

Gu Shengan : “……”

That’s not what you just did. Besides, where does the law come from in the Advent world?

Xiao Lan squatted down and greeted Yang Degao, who was lying on the ground, with a smile, ” Hello Mr. Yang.”

Yang Degao saw the man in front of him, who was obviously handsome and gentle, but his hands were quick and fierce. If you do that again, I’ll call the police.”

The young man in front of him was looking at him with a disdainful look, “Believe it or not, you can’t call half a cop at all?”

I’m afraid there are no police at all in the game world, their calls either don’t go out or the police are held up half way for whatever reason.

When Yang Degao saw Xiao Lan’s smile, his heart was half cold, “It’s over, it’s over, this man must have some background, he can actually reach out to the police directly.

Xiao Lan patted Yang Degao’s face with a knot in the rope, ” Mr. Yang , I have a little problem here and I hope you can cooperate.”

Yang Degao’s eyelids fluttered: “You said ……”

Xiao Lan gets straight to the point: “How did you kill Gu Mo?”

At these words, Yang Degao’s face suddenly changed, his eyes widening with disbelief, “How did you know that-”

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he felt he had lost his tongue and hastened to remedy the situation, “No, no, no, I didn’t, there must be a mistake somewhere.”

Xiao Lan grimaced, ” Mr. Yang, this is no fun. You seem to be a gentleman too, but unfortunately we have found a little of your private hobbies hidden away, how about publishing them?”

He also prompted, “For little girls.”

Yang Degao’s face went white: “You guys!”

Xiao Lan stared at him condescendingly, “Or maybe we’ll strip you down to your trousers and leave you live on the street. And send it to your students?”

Xiao Lan lowered his voice again and coaxed, “Relax, we’re not interested in sending you to the police, we’re just interested in the case, a little personal hobby, you can understand that, right?”

Gu Shengan gave him a look, which he understood in seconds and gave him a perverted smile in return.

The two men now look like the kind of hunting enthusiasts who like to track down murder cases.

Yang Degao hesitates, “Really …… really?”

Xiao Lan smiled at him, a smile that looked a little grim in the moonlight: “Of course, I don’t like the police either, they always spoil the art I like.”

Yang Degao is shaken, fearing that if he doesn’t say anything, these two perverts will make him disappear.

“Didn’t they say that the girl called Gu Mo was a random, and it just so happens that I …… have a group and I saw her picture in it.” Yang Degao’s voice shook a little. “I just went to her, I pay money still can’t. But I didn’t expect her to be reluctant and want to run, how can this work if people know about it? I …… I an excited on, on …… strangling people to death.”

Yang Degao met the two men’s contemptuous looks and felt like a knife was shoved in her throat, “I …… didn’t expect her neck to be that thin, one force and …… it broke… …”

Ten years ago Yang Degao was in her fifties, physically strong and had no trouble dealing with a weak high school girl.

Xiao Lan’s voice went cold: “Where’s the body?”

Yang Degao : “I don’t know, the backyard of the hotel was still being renovated, so I just cut up the body …… and mixed it into the cement mixer, and I don’t know after that ……”

Gu Shengan couldn’t help but pooh-pooh it, and Xiao Lan gave him a look that signalled him to keep his persona.

Xiao Lan : “Another question, what is the magic weapon that Zhang Jie is talking about?”

Yang Degao struggled for a moment, but felt that if he didn’t say anything he might have to go cold now, so he said honestly, “I’m not sure about this, I just know that it was given to him by a high priest, she was so precious that she only let me touch it blindfolded, it felt like metal.”

Xiao Lan recalls the villain from the movie and mimics a look that is almost as good: “Thank you Mr. Yang for your cooperation today, I am very satisfied.”

Then he stood up and walked over to the window, from Yang Degao’s point of view only his silhouette against the light could be seen, and heard his meaningful tone: “What happened today is a secret between the three of us, and I will keep it well – well – hidden, and I hope Mr. Yang will keep it too.”

” Mr. Yang doesn’t want the students to know either, does he?”

Yang Degao shuddered, this man was threatening him!

The demon was still inquiring, ” Mr. Yang is it unsatisfactory?”

Yang Degao woke up like a dream: “No! No! I won’t say anything, I’m just out for some air tonight.”

Zhao Fan had spent the day hiding in his room and decided he would never go out again, it was so dangerous to look for clues and just wait for the two guys guys to get the mission through.

He lay in bed dazed, as if he was soaking in warm water, feeling so comfortable and stretched out all over.

Wait? Water?

Zhao Fan suddenly opened his eyes and found himself literally soaking in a pool, which was huge and surrounded by many unreadable people, with the mist of the hot spring dense and obscuring everything around him in a haze.

The friends next to him laughed when they saw his eyes open, ” Zhao Fan, you can fall asleep in a hot spring.”

“Yeah, you’ve been working too hard lately, haven’t you?”

Zhao Fan is a bit confused, oh yes, he is here with his friends to take a dip in the spa this time, but why is he here ……

What was this friend’s name again?

“Oops your girlfriend’s here, don’t go yet.” The friend pointed to his rear.

He turned his head as a slim woman with a fair complexion and long dark hair approached him, her face unreadable in the watery mist. Around him was the sound of his friends laughing and joking, admiring their good relationship and lamenting his good fortune.

With her friends up in arms, her girlfriend seemed a little helpless to go along with her friends and spread her hands in a pose ready for a hug.

Zhao Fan couldn’t resist coming forward and hugging his girlfriend.

He reached up and stroked his girlfriend’s long hair, which was as smooth as satin, like a brisk stream as it ran through his fingers, but he froze as it passed his neck.

That slender neck was so soft that it sank in at the touch of a finger – there was no bone in it!!!

“Ah…” Zhao Fan couldn’t resist pushing the woman away.

He wanted to call his friends for help, but turned his head and found himself surrounded by empty space, where were his friends? Only his mobile phone sat alone by the pool.

Suddenly the screen lit up, showing a call coming in.

Zhao Fan waits for the phone screen, not daring to react, but the call connects itself.

“Excuse me, are you, Zhao Fan?” The mechanical, flat female voice rang out, not from the phone, but from behind him.

Zhao Fan jerked back, only to come face to face with a cold, green and grey face.

This is the last thing he remembers.

Xiao Lan and Gu Shengan return to the third floor.

Xiao Lan was wondering how he was going to explain Tong Qing’s body to his boss when he discovered it was missing, wondering if it was the boss’s doing or the game’s arrangement.

They were about to enter the room when the door to Liu Yiyi’s room next to them opened.

Behind the door Liu Yiyi stands quietly, the room is not lit and it is very dark. Liu Yiyi’s whole body is in shadow, his face blurred into a shadowy look.

“What are you doing?” Liu Yiyi’s voice rang out, still the same as when we first met, but as calm and indifferent as a pool of dead water.

Gu Shengan was so scared that his brain was in a knot: “I, I, I …… we ……”

All he could think of was, “Oh my God, what if I come face to face with a suspected female ghost? He couldn’t think of any other answer.

Xiao Lan had an idea: “We’re going to have a hot tub together.”

Liu Yiyi : “You guys?”

Xiao Lan nodded without changing his face, “That’s how men develop friendships with each other.”

Gu Shengan also said, “Yes, yes, yes, we have carried guns together, we have been in the same tank together, we are good brothers.”

Liu Yiyi : “……”

How does it sound gay gay gay.

In the shadows Liu Yiyi stepped out and, without looking at the two men again, left on her own. With her steps, a chilly breeze rushed out of the room, causing the two men at the door to shiver.

They were relieved to see Liu Yiyi’s back walk away.

The author has something to say.

Xiao Lan: That’s how our boys’ friendship works.

Gu Shengan : Yes!

Luo flashes his claws.

Gu Shengan : No no, I don’t deserve friendship QAQ
