Squatting in front of the hospital bed, Su Wen frowned.
Fu De's aging did not stop. When the factory guard found Fu De, although he already looked very old, within an hour, Fu De's white hair had fallen out, and his skin was completely loose and overgrown.
He had age spots, his eyes were cloudy and lifeless, and he was lying on the bed, dying.
If it weren't for the doctors at the inner factory who gave Fu De a secret medicine containing extraordinary power, prolonging his life, Su Wen would never have had the chance to see Fu De alive.
"Uh...ah..."
Fu De's eyes were wide open and he let out a strange, feeble scream.
From his expression, Su Wen did not see any fear, as if he had understood everything he had encountered before and accepted this fate.
The whole family, young and old, gathered around the hospital bed, sobbing softly.
If the reputation of the inner factory was not too scary, the family members would have already spoken out to expel Su Wen and others so that Fu De, who was suffering from a strange disease, could finish his last journey safely.
"This is not just your problem..." Looking at Fu De's cloudy eyes and twitching fingers, he knew in his heart that although this person was at the end of his life, he was not mentally confused. On the contrary, Fu De
His consciousness is still very clear, he just doesn't want to reveal the information he has.
Su Wen lowered his head and said in Fu De's ear: "The person who made you lose your life for decades has already attacked many people. They may have benefited a little from that person, but the price they paid is almost the same as yours."
...There are even people who just want to cure their son's disease...but end up risking the lives of their entire family. This is not a good person...You get one point of benefit from him, don't expect him to get ten points from you.
That's enough. According to the information we have, he will find your family based on the loopholes in the agreement signed with you, and eventually you will drag the whole family into the abyss of death..."
"Ah...oh...no, he won't."
After hearing Su Wen's words, Fu De's soulless eyes finally gathered some energy and said tremblingly.
"Then how do you explain your current physical condition?"
Su Wen admitted that what he said was exaggerated, but Fu De couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false, so he could just talk nonsense.
"This...I, I volunteer. He, he said, can help me get through this...the price is..."
"The price is to take away all your life when he feels the need?"
Su Wen asked.
"Yes or no……"
When Fu De heard Su Wen's words, he nodded first and then shook his head: "That's not the case... He just said... that he would take away part of my life..."
"Did you also say that it didn't have much impact on you?"
Su Wen shook his head and sighed: "This is a simple deception... You see, he has been lying to you from the beginning, and at this time, you still want to help him cover his tracks... Ha, think about your family...
…After you, they may soon share your fate.”
"Uh, uh..."
I don't know whether it was Su Wen's words that made Fu De afraid, or whether his life had come to an end. This time, he couldn't speak even if he wanted to. He looked past Su Wen and looked at his family behind him.
"doctor!"
Su Wen was also shocked. He secretly thought that it was not the case. His words could actually cause Fu De's health to deteriorate at an accelerated pace.
The doctor from the inner factory was standing by. When he heard Su Wen's greeting, he hurriedly came over and reached out to check Fu De's pulse.
Fu De suddenly gained a lot of strength in his hands. He shook off the doctor's hand and straightened his arms tremblingly. He spread his two fingers and pointed at the family members standing behind Su Wen. A babbling sound came from his throat.
Very anxious.
"What's the meaning?"
When Su Wen saw his gesture, he immediately thought of something and asked, "Does the second manager know about this?"
The second steward standing behind Fu De's son was so frightened when he heard Su Wen's words that he knelt down with a plop and cried, "Master! I don't know anything!"
Fu De shook his head hard.
"Is it the second aunt?"
Su Wen quickly asked again.
Fu De was originally from a wealthy family in Wuning City. In addition to his wife, he also had three concubines and several sons.
"Uh uh..."
Fu De had a look of pain on his face and roared like a beast from his throat.
"Master, I know what you mean..."
The second aunt cried so hard that she threw herself at a lamp nearby and put out a candle.
"After my family fell into decline, I became more diligent and frugal than before...I don't usually light candles..."
"call……"
Seeing his second aunt extinguishing a candle, Fu De's face suddenly relaxed and his breathing became much easier.
"not good!"
The doctor's expression changed drastically, and he poured a bottle of medicine into Fu De's mouth.
But before the medicine entered his throat, Fu De kicked his legs and lost his breath.
"...This is really..."
Seeing this scene, Su Wen was speechless.
"Father (Master)!..."
The whole Fu De family rushed forward, held up the bed and cried bitterly. Amidst the heartbreaking cries, Su Wen had to leave the room.
Not long after, the doctor and Yan Duo from the inner factory also walked out with bad expressions.
"The soul is gone!"
Yan Duo whispered.
"The old man didn't notice the fluctuation of the soul's aura. It seemed that the soul and the body were extinguished at the same time."
The doctor also gave the same answer as Yan Duo.
When he learned that Fu De was about to die of old age, Su Wen tentatively asked Yan Duo if there was any way to preserve the soul of the deceased.
Unexpectedly, Yan Duo gave a positive response. Maybe other schools do not have this kind of secret technique, but the Yin and Yang family has this ability. Senior doctors in the inner factory and extraordinary people in the second sequence of medical families also have similar abilities.
ability.
To be safe, Su Wen took both of them with him, thinking that if he couldn't get any information out of the living Fu De, he would take the soul back for torture.
What I didn't expect was that after Fu De died, there was no soul left at all.
"Actually... it's not very important whether you bring back your soul or not."
Su Wen comforted his two companions: "The mysterious man did not kill everyone he helped, there are still many alive..."
Yan Duo sighed: "But they didn't provide us with useful information."
"So even if we get Fu De's soul, we may not be able to find out anything."
Su Wen smiled and said, "But...we have to act like we have obtained some key information."
"Are you doing this again?"
Yan Duo hesitated.
Su Wen had already used similar tactics on Xie Lingyun. Yan Duo was not optimistic about using this deceptive method again.
"This guy may not know what happened in the inner factory..."
Su Wen said this.
He was telling the truth. Only a few core members of the entire inner factory knew what was going on around Xie Lingyun's trap that night. All the performances were actually based on Xie Lingyun's confrontation with Tian-09 Taboo.
In terms of their understanding, other people could not figure out what happened. Afterwards, the news released by Liu Sandao was that some bad guys tried to attack Wang Yushi. Fortunately, they were stopped by the inner factory guards. Wang Yushi was safe and sound, and neither were the inner factory guards.
With the loss, the criminal was finally successfully chased and killed on the way.
"Let's give it a try..."
Yan Duo pinched his eyebrows and said a little tiredly.
…
"Bang bang bang... The weather is dry and things are dry, be careful with the fire... Dear neighbors, a demon has been around recently. They use magic and magic to harm people under the pretext of helping to fulfill their wishes and solving troubles. Don't believe it! If you encounter such a demon,
, report to the government and you will be rewarded. The rewards are as follows..."
After nightfall, watchmen were walking through the streets and alleys, banging their clappers and shouting news from the factory.
In addition to the watchmen shouting at the top of their lungs, many officials posted documents everywhere, and inspection teams went out to arrest suspects.
Naturally, the mysterious man could not be caught, but many of the gentlemen who were doing fortune-telling and feng shui on the street were arrested, imprisoned in prison, and extorted a lot of money before they were released.
"This is a good method. Even if it scares the enemy and alerts the extraordinary person, we have also warned the common people that even if they meet him, they will be wary and will not be easily fooled..."
Lao Liu was full of praise for Su Wen's proposal.
"That's not necessarily the case..."
Yan Duo poured cold water on Lao Liu: "According to the files we collected, many people are willing to accept the help of the mysterious person even though they know there will be a heavy price."
Su Wen nodded. Just like the gangster with a rank two military strategist, he clearly knew that he had to lose an eye in exchange for a rank three secret medicine. If the mysterious man hadn't played a trick in the terms and didn't indicate the need,
No matter which of the gangster's eyes is taken away, the gangster will still feel that the price he paid is equivalent to the secret medicine he got, and he may even make a fortune.
What’s even more chilling is that the gangsters in Sequence Two are all willing to give an eye in exchange for the secret medicine. What about the others, the ordinary people who are already in despair?
If they knew that someone could grant them a wish while taking their lives, what choice would those people in despair make?
This is what Yan Duo is worried about.
This is why Su Wen asked Lao Liu to definitely add that if he found the mysterious person and reported it to the government, he could get generous rewards if the information was confirmed to be accurate.
Ordinary people may not believe that the mysterious person can really help them realize their wishes, but the reward from the government is real. Useful information starts with five taels of silver. If the monster can be caught based on the information, it will be two hundred taels.
silver!
With such a generous bonus, even the most desperate person will think about money first and then other thoughts.
"We have exaggerated the horror of this guy more than a hundred times. If there are still people who want to ask for help from him, it will be hard to persuade him. It's just a damn ghost."
Su Wen finally said this.
…
At the third watch, Zhang Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and was full of energy. He felt as light as a swallow, and his whole body was full of strength.
"Phew...I, I am a transcendent!"
There was indescribable joy in Zhang?'s voice.
"Bang bang bang..."
The watchman's shouts came from outside the alley. He listened for a while and his face darkened.
