It's night, why walk on the streets of downtown
He walked slowly, like an experienced horse that knew the way, through the maze-like streets.
Located at the bottom of the fortress, the roads in the lower city are always wet and dirty even when it is not rainy. There are often drops of water crawling on the walls of the buildings and the walls of the streets.
The lampshade of the street lamp was covered with moisture due to the humidity, making the light bright but hazy.
Why walk on such a street with so much on your mind
That night, after he met with his "employer" and handed over Su Lie's diary, He Bi decided to leave Skyfort.
We can't stay here any longer.
But he couldn't just leave like this, because he had a wife and children in the Skyfort.
He is not a qualified father and has never been a good husband, but why can't he be so cruel as to abandon his wife and children
He knew very well that no matter what Tianyang finally found out, that big shot would definitely not let him go.
Even his wife and children will not be spared.
So Hebi decided to take his wife and children with him. Leaving the Skyfort was not an easy task, so Hebi spent two days preparing for it.
He bribed the guard at the city gate and hired a black car to wait outside the gate.
He knew that his wife would definitely not agree, but he decided to take them away tonight even if he had to use force.
When he stopped, a three-story building appeared in front of him.
The building was low, and even beside and behind it, there were other houses piled up. All the houses in the downtown area were like this, and a three-story building like the one in front of me was home to at least seven or eight families.
Why bother opening the rusty iron door, walking up the stairs, passing a homeless man sleeping in the corridor, and arriving at the end of the corridor on the third floor.
He knocked on the door and it opened by itself. The light inside was dim and there was an inexplicable malice in the air.
He Bi immediately became extremely nervous, and he tried very hard to resist the urge to turn around and run.
The man sighed and opened the door: "I'm here, don't hurt my family."
As soon as the door opened, the smell of blood rushed into Hebi's nostrils. The sudden light allowed him to glimpse several figures in the small living room inside the door.
He was kicked hard in the back and fell to his knees. Then his neck felt slightly stinging as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. His gradually regained vision allowed him to see someone leaving with an empty syringe.
He was injected with something.
Then He Bi could see clearly that there was a man sitting on his favorite chair in the small living room.
The man was wearing a dark-colored, high-necked long coat with many pockets. He looked respectable and noble. He sat upright, with a military air.
But he was wearing a mask on his face, a white mask with black patterns, which looked weird and mysterious.
In addition to this person, there are three others.
One was the man who had just injected himself, and the other two were holding a woman and a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old respectively.
That's He Bi's wife and son.
Hebi gave a bitter smile. His wife and children were covered in blood and tied with ropes. Something was stuffed in their mouths and they couldn't speak.
"It's okay." He Bi comforted him, but was kicked in the face.
At this time, the man sitting on the chair said, "Nothing? I don't think so, sir. I think you owe me an explanation."
Hebi nodded: "Whatever you want to know, I will tell you."
The masked man said calmly: "That day, after we completed the transaction, I
One of my men was killed. I guess you know who it was."
Why nod like a chick pecking at rice: "I know, I know."
The masked man said, "Then you should be willing to tell me his identity, right?"
Why did he say loudly: "No problem, absolutely no problem."
The masked man chuckled. "I didn't expect you to be so cooperative. Well, I'm happy to listen."
Hebi gritted his teeth and said, "I have one request. Please release them. As long as I see them leave the city with my own eyes, I will tell you who did it."
The masked man sighed softly: "It's always like this, you ants always think you can negotiate with people like me. Why don't you understand that you are not particularly important. It's just that you can bring convenience to me, so I appear here, that's all."
He snapped his fingers.
Snap!
The guy who grabbed the woman didn't hesitate and broke her neck quickly!
Hebi's pupils dilated and he roared, "You bastards! Why kill her! Why kill her! They have nothing to do with this matter, come at me if you dare!"
"Hush."
The masked man raised a finger: "Be quiet, you're disturbing me."
He put down his hand and pointed at the boy next to him: "Come on, tell me. Tell me who that person is. I remind you again, don't play tricks, don't make any conditions, I don't accept any threats."
He was breathing heavily like a bull with red eyes, but he didn't dare to lose his temper, for fear that doing so would hurt his son.
"Since we are of no use to you, why not just kill us? Anyway, even if I tell you, you will still do it, right?"
The masked man raised his hand, carefully smoothed the wrinkles on his long coat, and answered the question slowly: "I am a man of my word, so I can tell you. If you tell me the answer, I will let him go. But you must die. This is a matter of principle."
"Then I'll tell you too. If you ask me, I will tell you everything you want to know if you can see him leave the fortress safely. Then you can do whatever you want to me." He Bi glared at the other person, his voice low and resolute.
The masked man snapped his fingers, and the third man stretched out his big hands and grasped the boy's forehead and chin respectively.
"I'll give you three seconds to think about it." The masked man said lightly.
Hebi yelled, "Kill! Kill my son! You won't get a single hair of mine!"
"A big shot like you, when something happened, you didn't come to me until today. Obviously you don't have any clues, otherwise, you wouldn't show up in a place like this!"
A soft laugh sounded from the mask. The man sitting on the chair raised his hands and clapped: "In a situation like this, you can still be so calm. I suddenly feel that it would be a pity to kill you like this."
He waved his hand.
The man loosened his hand.
He Bi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he secretly congratulated himself that he had finally made the right bet.
But the next moment, the masked man took out an exquisite pistol from his arms, pointed it at the boy, and pulled the trigger.
"wait... "
Before he finished speaking, a bloody hole appeared on the boy's forehead, and his body tilted and he fell to the ground.
"No!"
Why roar like a wounded beast
The masked man put away his gun and said calmly, "I just told you that I don't accept any threats. What a pity.
You could have saved your son, but you are too self-righteous."
"Do you think that if I kill your wife and children, I will be able to do nothing to you? No, the thing my people injected you with just now will make you obedient."
Why would you curl up in agony, resting your forehead on the ground, trembling all over
The masked man gestured: "Take him back."
The two men walked towards him, but when they pulled He Bi up from the ground, a black shadow fell to the ground.
The pupils behind the mask of the man in long clothes suddenly shrank.
A ball of fire suddenly exploded in the room. The violent explosion engulfed two figures and alarmed the nearby residents.
When people ran out of the room to see, they saw thick smoke billowing from the three-story building and one side of the wall was blown apart.
In the alley below the broken wall, the masked man was half-crouching on the ground, the corner of his long coat was on fire. He snorted, took off his coat, and stood up.
Looking up, there was silence in the mask.
After a while, a sigh was heard: "We were careless. This guy had a grenade on him."
He took off the mask, threw it to the ground, and broke it into pieces.
Then he turned and left, quickly entering the long street behind before the alley was blocked by the residents who came to watch the fun.
As he walked under the light, one could see in the light that he was a middle-aged man.
On the left cheek, a cross scar is conspicuous and hideous.
... ... .
As soon as he entered the Night Walker’s headquarters building today, Tianyang discovered that there were many new faces.
These people did not wear Night Walker uniforms, but they were dressed neatly and had a calm demeanor.
Tianyang walked into the team house and saw Jiyu. He asked casually, "Why are there so many outsiders here today? Are we going to expand the Night Walkers?"
Ji Yu was adjusting her crossbow, and said without looking up: "The commander does want to expand, but the problem is that there are only a few more sublimators every year, so how can there be so many people to expand."
"Those are representatives from the various families in the fortress. I heard that a family competition will be held soon, so they all came to us to borrow people."
As they were talking, Han Shu walked in and just happened to hear what they were saying, so he interrupted: "Tianyang, the Yun family came to see you, probably for the family competition, right?"
Tian Yang said truthfully: "Yes, it is said that next, the fortress will open the underground base of Hongni Town for various families to explore, and Yun Ze came to invite me to join."
Han Shu raised his eyebrows: "You agreed?"
Tianyang nodded: "Any questions, Captain?"
Han Shu scratched his head. "Of course there is a problem. If you participate, you will not be able to get the protection of the Night Walker during the competition. No matter what happens during the competition, the Night Walker will not ask."
"So, you have to think it through."
"But as long as you are careful, I don't think it will be a big problem. After all, nothing happened to you last time in Huanggu Town. Besides, this is your chance to show your strength to the Yun family and even other families."
"Maybe after the competition is over, some families will come to us to poach people. Usually, the conditions offered by those families are much more generous than those of us, and there are not so many restrictions."
"So there are many mid- to high-level Ascendants in several legions. After retiring, they all choose to join those big families. Just like the Wang from the Yun family, he used to be a formation breaker among our Night Walkers."
Wang Liangyi is actually the one who broke the formation? Tian Yang couldn't help but think, if I can meet him in this competition, I can try to find out whether he knows anything about Su Lie!
