204, Fallen Demon!(1/4)
[A big chapter with ten thousand words.]
"I became so fat because I changed my appearance for investigation!"
Shen Lang dug out the sarcophagus without taking off his mask, so that the face of "Shen Sanlang" would not look awkward to Mu Qingxue.
"In order to investigate, I actually ate myself into a fat man weighing two to three hundred pounds and completely changed my shape... I thought I was cruel enough, but I didn't expect you, Shen Lang, to be even crueler!"
Mu Qingxue stood in awe.
Shen Lang said sheepishly:
"You misunderstood, I am actually..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Hongye shouted:
"So you guys are in the same group!"
He jumped back a little, distanced himself, his muscles tensed up, his fingertips glowed with a long sword, his eyebrows stood upright, staring at Shen Lang, Mu Qingxue asked in a deep voice:
"Who exactly are you?"
"We are indeed a team."
Shen Lang used his energy to evaporate the spiritual liquid on his clothes and hair, and said:
"But we are from the Criminal Department. I pretended to be one of the kidnappers in order to sneak into the investigation. Miss Gu, don't be afraid, we are all good people."
Gu Hongye frowned and said:
"Good guy? I was caught here because you poisoned me!"
Shen Lang said:
"It was a last resort. Even without me, Miss Gu, you would still have been arrested. Because before you, many heroines of similar age to you have been arrested."
Gu Hongye snorted coldly:
"Without your dirty tricks, I wouldn't have been caught!"
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Miss Gu, you don't think I'm the only one who knows that kind of trick, do you? The other two have similar tricks. Miss Gu, I have to bring you in this time, which is really offending. Don't worry, we will rescue you.
I will compensate you later."
Gu Hongye pursed her lips and said coldly:
"How can I trust you?"
Shen Lang spread his hands:
"You just have to trust us now."
While he was talking to Gu Hongye, Mu Qingxue had already walked to the other two sarcophagi with lids on them and pushed the lids open one after another.
Not surprisingly, there was also a young and beautiful woman lying in each of the two sarcophagi.
One is a girl in pink clothes who is seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other is a woman in black clothes in her early twenties.
When the coffin lid was opened, both women closed their eyes tightly, their bodies soaked in spiritual liquid and motionless, looking as if they were sleeping.
Mu Qingxue said calmly:
"Stop pretending, I know you are already awake. Get up and find a way to escape together."
After hearing this, the girl in pink clothes opened her eyes first, gave Mu Qingxue a shy smile, and sat up straight.
The woman in black jumped out of the sarcophagus with a crash, used her hand as a knife, and the edge of her palm burst out with a green light, and slashed Mu Qingxue's neck.
Mu Qingxue raised her right hand, stretched out a slender index finger and lightly tapped it. With a soft clang, she shattered the edge of the black-clothed woman's palm with the sword light, turning it into pieces of green light and flying everywhere.
The woman in black looked at Mu Qingxue in surprise:
"Fourth Grade Dacheng?"
Mu Qingxue neither admitted nor denied, but only asked:
"What are your names?"
The girl in pink clothes jumped out of the sarcophagus, with white steam coming out of her body. She quickly dried her clothes and whispered:
"My name is Hu Jiao."
The woman in black stared at Mu Qingxue warily and said in a deep voice:
“Before asking someone’s name, shouldn’t you state your own name and where you are from?”
"That's right. I am Xue Qingmu, the head of the Criminal Department." Mu Qingxue very perfunctorily reversed his real name and counted it as a pseudonym: "I was captured on purpose, waiting for an opportunity to sneak in to investigate the kidnapping case."
The reason why she did not give her real name was because she, Mu Qingxue, was quite famous. She wanted to hide her true identity temporarily so that she could have some room for future actions and hide a killer move.
After introducing herself, she raised her hand and pointed at Shen Lang:
"He is also from the Criminal Department. He disguised himself as a man in black and sneaked in to assist me in my investigation."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"My name is Shen Lang, and my current disguised identity is Shen Sanlang, codenamed Fatty. You must remember this. My identity may come in handy later."
Gu Hongye now almost believed the identities of Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue, and said:
"My name is Gu Hongye, and I was just arrested today."
As he said this, remembering how unjustly he had been defeated, he couldn't help but glared at Shen Lang with resentment: If we don't use dirty tricks and fight openly, with my swordsmanship, we can fight against three without any pressure!
The woman in black also lowered her guard slightly at this time, folded her hands around her chest, looked away, and said in a reluctant tone:
"My name is Wang Heihu."
"..."
Mu Qingxue, Shen Lang, and Gu Hongye were speechless.
Hu Jiao was surprised and said:
"Brother Wang, are you a man?"
The woman in black named Wang Heihu, her head covered with black lines, glared at Hu Jiao angrily:
"female!"
He puffed up his chest when he spoke, implying that you are blind? You can't even see these two big ones?
"Feel sorry."
Hu Jiao stuck out the tip of her tongue in embarrassment.
Shen Lang laughed:
"This gentleman is really witty..."
Isn't naming your daughter "Black Tiger" a joke or even a prank?
Wang Heihu must also be quite resentful about his name. The reluctance he showed when he signed up just now was not an act.
"Okay, it's time to get down to business."
Mu Qingxue looked at Shen Lang:
"What do you think we should do next?"
Shen Lang raised his hand and touched his chin, and said in a deep voice:
"We can wait here first. Wait until there are men in black and then send people in, or wake them up and take away the people in the sarcophagus. Then we will take them down and disguise themselves as men in black. I know some of the men in black.
Handprints and code words can fool you into something."
Mu Qingxue nodded, and while concentrating her ears to listen to the movement at the entrance of the cave, she said to Hu Jiao and Wang Heihu:
"What do you know about this place?"
Gu Hongye was just arrested today. It is impossible to know anything about this place and can be ignored.
Hu Jiao glanced at Wang Heihu, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking first, she said softly:
"I have been arrested for a long time, but most of the time, I was locked in a small room. Every other month, I would be taken out, or beaten on the bloody ring, or forced to participate in some killings.
Games... In total, I have been forced to enter the arena three times and participated in three killing games..."
"You have been arrested for more than half a year?" Mu Qingxue said in surprise.
Shen Lang said:
"I have seen Miss Hu Jiao's name in the missing person file. She is from Lianzhou Prefecture. She is eighteen years old and is a close disciple of Chu Daoren, the number one swordsman in Lianzhou. Because Chu Daoren disappeared, she
I went out to search for the whereabouts of his division, but he also disappeared in mid-April. It has indeed been missing for more than six months."
Wang Heihu's information did not appear in the missing persons file.
This shows that in addition to the more than 50 missing cases that are known, there are many more missing cases that have not been reported to the government.
This is also normal.
There are many lonely people in the world who have no relatives or friends, and there are also many wanderers who have traveled far away and have not been heard from for several years. There are also many hermits who go to retreat in mountains and huts to feel the world and comprehend the unique knowledge.
Even if such people are kidnapped, no one knows or even cares about what happened to them.
There are also some Jianghu people, either out of prejudice against the government, or because they have something wrong with them, or they adhere to the old rules of "the Jianghu is the Jianghu", or they are superstitious about their own strength, relatives, friends, disciples, etc.
If an elder from the master's sect disappears, he will not report it to the government, but will look for and investigate on his own.
Therefore, although the Ministry of Punishment's missing persons files only contain information on more than fifty victims, the number of actual victims is likely to be ten times, or even a hundred times that.
