Qi Ning and Ying Mouzi walked through the dim Xicheng alley one after another, turning several streets, and arrived in front of a dilapidated house. Qining slowed down, and Ying Mouzi followed, but there was a hand holding Qi Ning Wuzi was very wary of hidden weapons.
Qi Ning glanced at Ying Mouzi, who was also looking at him. He saw that the house was dark and the surroundings were deathly silent. He had doubts in his heart and asked: "Brother said he knew the whereabouts of Red Scorpion. Is it possible that he is here? "
Qi Ning chuckled and walked straight into the house. Shadow Mouse was full of doubts. Although he felt something was wrong, since he had come, he would not give up halfway. He held the concealed weapon in his hand and followed extremely carefully into the house, only to see When Qi Ning walked directly to the main hall, Ying Mouzi hesitated and followed him into the main hall.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a fire in the room. Shadow Mouse was startled. He turned his head and looked over, only to see a figure appearing from the side, holding a fire folder in his hand. The mouse immediately took two steps back, only to see the man in ragged clothes walk to the table in the main hall and light the oil lamp on the table with a fire stick.
Qi Ning turned around and looked at Shadow Mouse with a smile. Shadow Mouse knew that something was wrong, so he backed away slowly, took two or three steps, turned around suddenly, put a little foot down, flew up and was about to run out of the house, suddenly Shadow Mouse was shocked when he saw a large net covering it in front of him. With a flick of his right hand, the thin knife appeared in his hand and he slashed at the net.
This knife went down and was cutting at the net. I thought that with the sharpness of the thin knife, I could easily split the big net. Who knew that the blade of the knife was so soft when cutting at the net that I couldn't use my strength. Before I had time to think about it, something happened on the side. The figure moved, and the net was already attached to Shadow Mouse's body.
Shadow Mouse knew that this net was very strange, and hurriedly retreated. He only took two steps back, but felt another strong gust of wind coming from behind. He reacted very quickly, and didn't care what was behind him. He just slashed with his backhand. This slash struck him uncontrollably. He cut it in a soft place, feeling horrified. When he turned around to look, he found that there was also a net covering it from behind.
Shadow Mouse was desperate. There were two nets coming from the front and back. Together, how could he escape unless he could go up to the sky and into the earth? He was helpless at this moment, but the two nets had already joined together, and the figures on the sides were flashing. , in just an instant, the Shadow Mouse was covered in the net. The Shadow Mouse struggled a few times, but the two nets moved tighter and tighter. In just an instant, the Shadow Mouse was already strangled by the big net and could not move.
Shadow Mouse was extremely angry. Although he was very wary of Qi Ning, he really didn't expect Qi Ning to set a trap here.
The big net was so tight that he couldn't move, but Qining had already walked over, squatted down next to him, and stared at him with interest.
"Despicable!" Shadow Mouse said angrily: "Why do you want to harm me?"
"It seems you have a bad memory." Qining smiled and said: "The cake is only so big. The fewer people share it, the more they get. Don't you understand this principle?"
Shadow Mouse sneered: "So you don't know Red Scorpion at all. Do you want to get rid of me? Your martial arts is better than mine and you can do it at the inn. Why do you come here?"
"There are many people from the three religions and nine schools in Temple Lane. I can't guarantee that there are no other shadow rats in the inn." Qi Ning said with a smile: "If I really attack you there and alert other shadow rats, that would be really bad."
"No." Shadow Mouse's eyes turned cold: "You are not Shadow Mouse, you... who are you?"
Qi Ning smiled and said, "How do you know I'm not a shadow rat?"
Shadow Mouse sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, I fell into your hands, I have nothing to say, in my line of work, you already know that life and death are uncertain, you just do it."
"He is indeed a man." Qi Ning said with a smile: "Since you know that you are bound to die, you might as well leave a name before you die so that I can set up a monument for you."
"Erect a monument?" Shadow Mouse said coldly: "Don't be complacent. You killed me today. If other Shadow Mouse finds out, you won't end up well."
Qi Ning sighed and said, "You think too highly of yourself. Do you think anyone will care about Shadow Mouse's life or death? If you die here, it will be like a leaf falling from a tree. No one will care." With a flick of his hand, there was already a cold dagger, which was the cold blade he carried close to his body.
When Shadow Mouse saw Qining take out the knife, he knew the end was coming and closed his eyes.
After waiting for a moment, Qi Ning still didn't make a move. Shadow Mouse opened his eyes and saw Qi Ning looking at him with a smile. He gritted his teeth and said, "Kill if you want. What else are you going to do?"
Qi Ning sighed and said: "I was just thinking that although you put life and death aside, it is really a pity to die this time."
"pity?"
"You came to the capital here to make a big deal and earn some money." Qining said with a smile: "But now that the money has not been found, this life has been lost. Isn't it a pity?"
Shadow Mouse snorted coldly and said nothing.
"Actually, I don't hate you shadow rats at all." Qining said: "You rely on your ability to earn a living. You don't rob families or bully the weak. You can still maintain some bottom lines. In the end, you are doing this for nothing. To survive, if you knew that this line of work was a dead end, you might not have chosen this path in the first place.”
"Don't think that I don't understand your thoughts." Shadow Mouse sneered: "If you don't kill me, do you want to ask some secrets from me?"
"It turns out you are very smart."
Shadow Mouse said: "You pretended to be Shadow Mouse to win over me, so naturally you discovered something. If you just wanted to kill me, you could have done it at the inn, but you brought me here because you just wanted to catch me. Ask for secrets from me." He tilted his neck slightly and said, "I advise you not to bother. Since I am in this line of work, I must abide by the rules of this line of work. Even if you die, don't even think of asking questions from me. Say a word."
Qi Ning gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "You really have some backbone." He stood up and turned around to go to the lobby. Shadow Mouse didn't know what Qi Ning was going to do with him, but he felt that the big net suddenly moved. Several people were dragging the big net. Shadow Mouse was dragged into the lobby, and the door to the lobby was immediately closed.
The lights were on in the room, and Shadow Mouse looked around. He saw only four or five people standing around, all in ragged clothes. He felt frightened and said in a voiceless voice: "You... are you from the Beggar Clan?"
A man came back from the side and sneered: "You are so brave, you dare to break into the territory of my Beggar Clan with the intention of plotting evil. How can our Beggar Clan allow you to act recklessly here." This man was in his forties, with a muscular build and a strong back. He is tall, but he is none other than Bai Shenghao, the helmsman of the Beggar Clan's Golden Sheep Branch.
Naturally, Ying Mouzi didn't recognize Bai Shenghao, but he said coldly: "I have no enmity with the Beggar Clan. Even if I came to your territory, I didn't break the rules of your Beggar Clan, but you set a trap here to harm me. Who can You and I know who is right and wrong." But I was really surprised in my heart, thinking to myself that I had never had any enmity with the Beggar Gang, so why did the Beggar Gang attack me tonight.
Qi Ning smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, the Shenhou Mansion has noticed your actions. The Shenhou Mansion has secretly offered a reward. Whoever catches the Shadow Mouse will be rewarded heavily. Since you knocked on the door, Of course we won’t miss it.”
Shadow Mouse said in surprise: "The Shenhou Mansion already knows? This... how is this possible?"
"Do you think there is anything in this world that can be hidden from the eyes of the Shenhou Mansion?" Qining said lightly: "Now as long as we send you to the Shenhou Mansion, you can get a large reward. I know you You have a tough talk, but I wonder if you have heard of Jiuchongtian of Shenhou Mansion?"
Jiuchongtian is the punishment of Shenhou Mansion. Any prisoner who passes through Jiuchongtian, even if he has iron teeth, will be forced to confess. Although Shenhou Mansion is very secretive, not many people know about the punishment of Jiuchongtian, but in the Jianghu It is indeed spread on the Internet.
Shadow Mouse's face changed slightly and he gritted his teeth.
"You said I'm not a shadow rat, that's a big mistake." Qining sighed: "Actually, I was also a shadow rat before, but that kind of life without humans and ghosts was really unbearable, so I abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and I have a great future. "
"A great future?" Shadow Mouse frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"In the final analysis, we people become shadow rats just because we want to survive." Qi Ning said: "If we don't have the strength to establish a sect, but don't want to harm the people, we can only do some killing business, but this way How long will it take? Do you have to do it for the rest of your life?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Shadow Mouse's eyes.
"No one knows when alive, and no one sheds a tear when dead." Qining sighed: "Who in this world doesn't want to do something great, honor the ancestors, and let everyone in the world know my name." Staring at Shadow Mouse Eyes, asked: "Is it possible that you never had this intention?"
Shadow Mouse snorted again and did not answer.
Qi Ning walked to Shadow Mouse and squatted down. He stared at Shadow Mouse and said, "Fortunately, I met a noble man. Not only will I have no worries about food and clothing from now on, but I will also have the opportunity to do a career, and maybe even get a job." I can't miss this opportunity if I have an official position and a half-job job to honor my ancestors."
"I understand what you mean." Shadow Mouse said: "In the final analysis, do you want to use glory and wealth to lure me into revealing your secret? It's better not to use this little trick on me."
"I know you are not afraid of death." Qining said with a smile: "If you were really as timid as a mouse, I wouldn't give you this opportunity if you wanted to. I'm just curious, are you really prepared to die silently like this? What's the value? Where is it?"
"I...!" Shadow Mouse was speechless for a moment.
"Not everyone will have such an opportunity." Qining stared into Shadow Mouse's eyes: "From now on, if you change your appearance, you will not only have enough money to spend, but you will also have the opportunity to do something good. If you miss it, Now, I promise you will never encounter the same opportunity again." He sighed and said: "Of course, you can also choose to go to Shenhou Mansion. You can still be a strong person in Shenhou Mansion. Maybe this time you The operation was successful because of your generosity, but no one will know your contribution, and your body will only be thrown into a mass grave and torn into pieces by jackals and wild dogs."
Bai Shenghao sighed from the side: "Actually, there are many people who are not afraid of death, but if you die like this in a confused and cowardly manner, I'm afraid no one will want to."
