Chapter 8 The Death of Evolution, the Unspeakable Quirk
Guns N' Roses bar interior, back kitchen area.
Zhao Zhixuan opened an inconspicuous storage room and pressed his palm on the blank space in the center of the wall.
beep beep beep~~~
After a series of electric sounds, a fluorescent palm print appeared out of thin air on the wall.
"The palmprint proofreading was successful, the person who started it is: Zhao Zhixuan."
Light green fluorescent words floated past, and the friction sound of mechanical gears turned inside the wall.
The seemingly seamless wall moves to both sides, opening a narrow door that allows one person to pass through.
Zhao Zhixuan walked in first, followed closely by Wang Jun.
Soon, the two of them entered a corridor leading down stairs. After about ten steps, the surrounding space suddenly opened up.
In the middle of the road is a ditch more than two meters wide. The water in it is filthy and full of excrement and all kinds of unidentifiable garbage.
The foul smell floated in the air, and the squeaking sounds of rats came from the darkness. Everything made people feel unhappy.
"If you want to leave the city, this sewer is the best way."
Zhao Zhixuan covered his nose and handed over a sewer route map.
"The red circle marks your current location, and the red line is the way to leave. When you reach the red fork, you will see an old iron railing elevator. Go in and enter the password of six 6s.
Leave City 36 and reach the wilderness."
"When did I say I was leaving?" Wang Jun asked.
"It's up to you to leave or not, but I advise you not to wander around. There are bad things hidden in the sewers of City 36. If you alert those guys, no matter how good you are, you will only die."
After saying this, Zhao Zhixuan turned around, climbed up the steps, and disappeared into the narrow corridor.
Wang Jun checked the paper. There seemed to be no problem with the paper, but he could not confirm whether there were other invisible substances attached to it.
It took him 5 seconds to memorize the map in his mind, and then threw away the sewer route map.
Da da da da da~~~
The sound of retreating footsteps echoed in the sewer.
Not long after, Wang Jun had gone away.
Zhao Zhixuan walked out of the corridor again, wearing a pair of monocles, and his expression showed no signs of discomfort with the smell of sewers.
He saw green fluorescent traces displayed on the mirror.
Walk along the traces and come to the edge of the canal.
The green fluorescence eventually submerged into the water channel, followed the water channel, and became lighter.
"This person is extremely cautious." Zhao Zhixuan narrowed his eyes, "Maybe he won't believe the route we gave."
Behind him, Zhao Changqing's voice came from the dim corridor: "It doesn't matter, we can get his information later, go up and have a drink and wait."
"Brother, I don't understand, why not just keep him?"
"Stay? That's so boring." Half of Zhao Changqing's face loomed, and his eyes behind his silver-rimmed glasses emitted a scarlet light. "Such an interesting person is rare in City No. 36. Let him shine a little. Let's see.
Let’s see how it looks.”
The two of them returned to the bar while talking. The hidden secret door had just closed when Zhao Changqing's cell phone suddenly rang.
After he connected, an angry female voice came from the receiver: "Zhao, do you know what the hell you have done?"
Zhao Changqing laughed in anger. He had just seen such a weirdo like Wang Jun, and now there was another one who was even more unafraid of death.
"Who the hell do you dare to call me by my first name?!"
"Can't you hear my aunt's voice?"
The irritable female voice laughed out of breath, with a hint of coquettishness in her smile.
"Then come to the hall and take a good look at who I am."
The word "Lao Niang" is extremely kind and familiar.
Zhao Changqing gasped, quickly covered his cell phone, and winked at Zhao Zhixuan, "Damn it, it's the tigress of the Lin family. How could she call using our bodyguard's number?"
"Could it be that the Lin family, together with other families, is going to declare war on our Zhao family?" Zhao Zhixuan said not sure.
On the phone, the irritable female voice raised its pitch to 88 degrees: "There's a hole in your head! Stop guessing and send someone to stop the person you just let go."
Zhao Changqing and Zhao Zhixuan looked at each other and looked at the closed secret door in tacit understanding.
At this moment, menacing footsteps arrived at the kitchen door.
Ta da~ da da~ da da~
There was a moment of silence before the sound of the door being kicked rang in their ears.
The door peeled off the wall along with the door frame and smashed to the ground.
The petite Lin Youwei stood at the door, her face full of evil spirits.
"Tell me quickly, how did you let that person go?"
Zhao Changqing forcibly changed the subject: "Lin Youwei, don't take yourself too seriously. This is City No. 36, and no one can talk to me in a questioning tone."
"What's so great about a useless person who can't be extraordinary, but he lives in a state of intoxication every day?"
Lin Youwei quickly stepped forward and picked up Zhao Changqing's collar.
A woman who is less than 1.6 meters tall can grab a man who is over 1.8 meters tall with one arm, and her feet should be 20 centimeters off the ground.
The first thing a man thinks of is two words - shame.
Zhao Changqing looked livid and asked, "If you touch me, are your Lin family ready for war?"
"You deserve it?" Lin Youwei sneered, "Xiaoqi of the Zhao family, do you remember how long you have been in the Middle Third District? Do you dare to return to the Upper Third District? Do you dare to meet your old man?"
Next to him, Zhao Zhixuan couldn't bear it anymore and took action boldly.
Two willow leaf-shaped air blades cut through the air, one went straight to Lin Youwei's neck, and the other cut to her wrist.
Lin Youwei didn't move an inch and said indifferently: "The fourth child, the fifth child."
The next second, Lao Si, whose skin was as black as iron, blocked Zhao Zhixuan's air blade, took long strides, and rushed forward.
The fifth child assisted the fourth child, hiding in the blind spot of Zhao Zhixuan's sight, holding a ball of yellow-green paralyzing gas in each hand.
The three of them were exchanging fists and kicks in the kitchen, and they couldn't tell the difference for the moment.
Lin Youwei took the opportunity to ask Zhao Changqing: "Tell me! How did you let that person go?"
Zhao Changqing sneered and turned his head to look at the ceiling.
Lin Youwei clenched her left fist and punched it out with all her strength.
Bang!
The silver-rimmed glasses shattered, and Zhao Changqing had a panda eye in his left eye socket.
"Should you tell me?" Lin Youwei asked again.
Zhao Changqing gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "No."
"I deserve a beating." Lin Youwei raised her fist again and punched Zhao Changqing's right eye socket.
Both eyes were extremely red and swollen, with tears filling them due to a physiological reaction.
Zhao Changqing raised his head to prevent tears from falling.
Lin Youwei seemed to have found Zhao Changqing's weakness and shouted: "Cry for me!"
When the words come out, the fists arrive.
Zhao Changqing was hit by a punch on the bridge of his nose, which cracked and cracked. Sour nosebleeds and mucus flowed violently. The tears in his eyes could not be suppressed, like a dam bursting, running down his face.
"Fuck, Lin Youwei, please remember to this young master that today's shame will be repaid in the future."
"Someday, right?" Lin Youwei slapped Zhao Changqing on the cheek. Without giving Zhao Changqing a chance to continue speaking, she slapped the other cheek with her backhand.
Bang bang bang bang bang~~~~
The sound of the slap was clear and loud, echoing inside and outside the kitchen, and even the guests in the bar lobby were aware of it.
Several good people squeezed in and immediately saw the scene of Mr. Zhao being insulted. They were so frightened that they froze in place, like dumb chickens.
Zhao Changqing roared: "Look, take a damn good look. After today, you won't have eyes anymore."
The good guys were trembling all over, rolling out and slamming into the door of the Fireworks Bar in a panic.
Almost everyone on the dance floor saw this scene.
Their curiosity was aroused, but due to Zhao Changqing's pressure, no one dared to step beyond the limit.
Lin Youwei held up Zhao Changqing like a chicken, "So you are also afraid of losing face."
With that said, she took Zhao Changqing's collar and walked towards the kitchen door.
"If you don't say anything, I will completely ruin your reputation in the middle third district. Aren't you very good at being a coward? That's right. If you go to the lower third district again, maybe the dangerous elements in the seventh district will be more harmonious.
What about your temper?"
Ta~~~ta~~~ta~~~
Lin Youwei's pace was very slow, leaving Zhao Changqing enough time to think.
Zhao Changqing looked at Zhao Zhixuan.
Zhao Zhixuan faced the fourth and fifth brothers and managed to gain a slight upper hand, but it was meaningless.
Because Zhao Changqing knew that Lin Youwei must be stronger than her men.
This crazy woman is known to be a cruel person. Not only is she very powerful, she also doesn't like to act by the rules.
The faceless and harmonious ways between wealthy and powerful people are bullshit in her eyes.
Zhao Changqing bit the tip of his tongue and used the pain to force himself to calm down, "I said!"
"Know the current affairs," Lin Youwei gently closed her wrist, let Zhao Changqing stand, and said with a kind smile: "Fourth and fifth, please stop."
The fourth and fifth elders ordered and prohibited, and each took a step back.
However, Zhao Zhixuan refused to give up.
"You hurt my brother, just treat it like nothing happened?!"
His eyes bloomed with green mysterious light, he changed his posture violently, and his palms and fingers flicked continuously, releasing large willow leaf air blades.
Lao Wu's expression changed drastically, his pupils shrank suddenly, "I'm going to die!!!"
The fourth child is covered with steel skin and can hug himself, but it is too late to protect the fifth child.
Seeing that Lao Wu was about to be cut into pieces, Lin Youwei threw her arm and shot out an afterimage.
It was a dagger, and the dagger was filled with white energy.
Ouch!!!
The sound of a dragon's roar echoed.
The Yingbai energy exploded in response, perfectly counteracting every willow leaf air blade.
"That's enough, Zhixuan, don't make any more moves." Zhao Changqing said.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhixuan's prepared offensive came to an abrupt halt and he kept his forward lunging posture motionless.
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother." He closed his eyes, and the green light in his eyes shone through his eyelids and slowly dissipated.
"The blue light in his eyes is like a Rakshasa. He is indeed the most promising of the younger generation of the Zhao family. The explosion just now was really not bad."
Lin Youwei praised it and then shook her head.
"It's a pity that you followed a loser."
Zhao Zhixuan opened his eyes suddenly and opened his mouth to argue.
Zhao Changqing frowned and shook his head slightly.
Seeing his brother's actions, Zhao Zhixuan lowered his head and stared at the ground.
The green light in his eyes is nothing, Shura Scarlet is the Zhao family's once-in-500-year-old genius.
Brother is not a waste, he is a real genius, but you all don’t understand.
Lin Youwei picked up the dagger and said:
"No more nonsense. Tell me honestly how you let this person go. I don't have time to continue arguing with you. Too much time has been wasted."
Immediately afterwards, the two parties briefly negotiated, and Zhao Changqing opened the secret door leading to the sewer.
Lin Youwei led the team in. In addition to the two extraordinary men Lao Si and Lao Wu, there were also 100 well-equipped and well-trained special forces members of the Red Umbrella Company.
When the secret door closed again, only Zhao Changqing and Zhao Zhixuan were left in the kitchen.
The two brothers looked at each other. Suddenly, Zhao Changqing knelt on the ground and covered his face with his hands.
"Close the door, close the door quickly."
Zhao Zhixuan hummed slightly, lifted the door and door frame, and pressed them back against the wall.
He pressed his back against the wooden door and said: "Brother, when will your evolutionary pain be cured? I don't want you to be treated as a waste by others again."
"It's almost there. There is still only one last part of All Souls Holy Blood left. After it is absorbed, my red eyes will be able to open and close freely." Zhao Changqing trembled with every word he said.
Curing the quirk is the first priority... Zhao Zhixuan sighed quietly, his face full of pain.
He could only watch his brother crawling on the ground, tearing his clothes frantically.
"It's great, it's so great, it's great, it's great, it's great, it's great to be scolded and beaten, it's so great..."
Zhao Changqing's face was flushed, as if he had drank three kilograms of white wine and then drank a bottle of red wine and three cans of beer.
Zhao Changqing, who was lying on the ground, twisted his body crazily and rubbed his face against the ground from time to time.
The pure white suit turned black by him.
"Not enough, not enough!"
Zhao Changqing turned over, facing up to the sky, and said:
"Brother, please quickly find some fruits and vegetables and smash them over hard."
Zhao Zhixuan saw Zhao Changqing's longing face, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether his brother had such a bad nature, or whether he was suffering from the hardship caused by evolution.
He only remembered that when he was very young, his brother was the well-deserved pride of the Zhao family.
Grandpa, father, and uncles all have high hopes for my brother.
However, when he was fifteen years old, his brother awakened to transcendence and obtained the same scarlet Shura Eyes as his ancestor who was the most amazing and talented five hundred years ago.
The whole family was shocked and blocked the news and never told the world.
However, the acquisition of extraordinary abilities requires a price, which is a bargaining chip given by fate and a shackles for extraordinary people. It is called the sorrow of evolution.
Zhao Changqing's evolutionary sorrow is a special psychological quirk.
To use the more fashionable words of young people, Zhao Changqing is in the late stage of trembling.
Every insult he receives will become the nourishment for him to become stronger, but he is the brightest star of the Zhao family. His grandfather is the head of the Zhao family, and he feels very uncomfortable about this.
He used many methods and invited countless powerful people, but none of them could cure Zhao Changqing's psychological quirks.
Because once the quirk is treated, the extraordinary abilities will fade away, but why should a person without extraordinary abilities become the head of the Zhao family?
The knot was inextricable... In the end, Zhao Changqing was let go by the family.
It was not until the past three years that Zhao Changqing contacted the blood hunters in the wilderness and absorbed the holy blood of all spirits, and he gradually gained control of Shura's scarlet eye.
After a while, Zhao Changqing's attack ended and he lay on the ground limply.
Zhao Zhixuan suddenly said: "Brother, do you want the ability or the cure for your quirk?"
"Children only do multiple-choice questions," Zhao Changqing laughed, "Brother, you and I are adults."
"However, the Holy Blood of All Souls cannot cure your quirks, it can only stabilize your abilities."
"With the ability, I can return to my family and take control of the power that should belong to me. With the power, I can collect a wider range of resources, and I will always find a solution to the tragedy of evolution."
Dong dong dong~~~
There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Zhixuan helped Zhao Changqing and said:
"My brother is resting. If you have anything to say, just say it outside the door."
Outside the door, a strong man in black stood respectfully, "My subordinates have found that person's information."
"His name is Wang Jun, he belongs to Red Umbrella Company and is a researcher."
"I have been employed for more than two years and have worked as an intern in multiple departments."
"The one who has worked the longest is the Logistics Weapons Department. Recently, due to his good performance, he was transferred to the Lingyun Ecological Project Team."
Zhao Changqing opened his eyes and sat up straight, "Lingyun Ecology!!!"
The subordinate's definite answer came from outside the door: "It's the project that Mr. Chen Yangmei is responsible for."
"Oops, brother," Zhao Changqing turned around and smiled bitterly, "We may have let a big fish go."
Zhao Zhixuan's mouth twitched slightly and he explained: "It's good to let him go. It's lucky that he didn't fall into the hands of the Lin family."
"Where does the route you gave him lead to?"
"Escape Exit No. 8 leads directly to the wilderness."
"Send a team of people to intercept, and then..." Zhao Changqing hesitated for two seconds and continued: "Call and inform the old man."
I haven’t had a phone call with my family for three years. Are you thinking?
Zhao Zhixuan's mouth curved, a little happy: "What did you say on the phone?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Changqing said: "Let me tell the old man directly that the Lin family attaches great importance to a researcher from the Lingyun Ecological Project Team."
