"Mr. Death, please listen to my explanation!"
The man in black yelled, finally admitting that he was the thief. He looked at the approaching snake demon in horror. The scaly figure of the other party awakened the deepest fear in his heart.
He realized that he had provoked the wrong person.
If he had known that the Death God was so terrifying, that in addition to its own great strength, it could also command such monsters like the Black People, he would not have dared to sell the news of the Death God to Dong Fang even if he had a hundred courages.
"I'm in a lot of debt, I need to contribute, I was just confused for a moment..."
"Please let me go. I can work for you for free. I can get information for you. I am also good at using a dagger and I am proficient in poison..."
The thief tried hard to prove his purpose, but to his despair, the man outside the house did not show any reaction at all, while the dark and evil figure in front of him was approaching.
Finally reaching the thief, the snake demon's scaly face almost touched the tip of his nose.
Slightly tilting her head to look at the thief, the snake demon opened her arms and gently hugged the thief as if she was hugging a lover.
In an instant, the thief felt cold and slippery, as if a python was coiled around his body.
"No no no..." he cried in panic, "Please let me go, let me go..."
The snake demon's two arms suddenly tightened around the thief's body like snakes. The thief's face suddenly turned red. The terrifying force pressed on his arms and body, as if to squeeze all the air out of his body.
He couldn't breathe, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was open as he gasped for air.
The scales on the snake demon's arm suddenly rose and fell, and the thief suddenly heard a series of crackling sounds. These sounds came from his body!
He suddenly felt as if his body had lost its support. He looked up and saw the ceiling of the bedroom, then the living room, and the figure wearing the crystal mask.
It’s just that the living room and the figure were all transferred over.
The darkness spread silently and quickly, and he could see nothing...
Tianyang walked forward gently, looked at the thief's deformed body leaning backward, and snapped his fingers.
A cracked door opened in the bedroom.
"Let's go."
Tianyang looked out the window and saw a shadow retreating deeper into a certain shadow.
The snake demon loosened his grip, and the thief, whose arms and spine were broken, fell to the ground in an unnatural posture. The demon retreated, step by step, into the crack door.
Tianyang turned around and looked at the big suitcase.
There must be a lot of valuable things in there, at least my 50,000 contribution points must be in there. It's a pity that I can't take anything away.
After all, he is now the god of death, mysterious and powerful. Killing the thief is to give a warning to the people in the dark world. If he takes away the thief's things, his image will not be tall and mysterious enough.
Some heartbroken teenagers could only turn around and step into the door.
Snapped.
With a snap of fingers, the door closed.
The only thing left in the room was the thief's body.
On this cold night, a street lamp was flickering on the quiet street outside the small building. After about ten minutes, someone appeared under the street lamp.
Two shadows came to him gently and silently.
The person under the streetlight said, "Let's go in and take a look."
They came to the thief's room, saw the expected body, and then quickly checked the surroundings, especially the doors, windows, floors, and behind the wardrobe.
Then the three of them gathered in the living room.
"That's impossible. We're keeping an eye on the surroundings. If he leaves, we'll definitely find him!"
The man who was obviously the leader sighed: "Every time this man appears, it makes us feel that our so-called 'understanding' is bullshit!"
"It seems that he has discovered us. Let's go back first. Next time he shows up, we will approach him openly and make sure he feels our sincerity!"
... ...
Drifting town.
Tianyang walked in this small town that had been drifting in the cracks for who knows how many years. This time he opened the door in the town so as not to irritate his violent "allies" again.
Tianyang picked a relatively intact single-family building and walked in. It was daytime in the town, and the always cloudy weather made the town look lifeless even in the daytime.
But compared to the adversity, it was much better. At least now, when he walked into the house, the sunlight from the window allowed the boy to see the surroundings clearly.
Coming in from the entrance, there is a messy living room with all kinds of debris covering the floor. The carpet is torn, the picture frame is falling apart, the sofa is overturned, the furniture is damaged, the wallpaper is peeling off... .
Tianyang walked through the messy hall, lifted the carpet and knocked. Judging from the sound coming from the ground, the bottom was hollow, probably a structure like a heat insulation layer.
He removed the floor, and indeed a dark space was revealed. Tianyang stretched out his arm, revealing the star essence, and illuminated the surroundings with the help of the glow.
The compartment below was about 20 centimeters wide, meeting Tianyang's requirements. The boy built a fairly sturdy box in the house, put all the Death God's items, including the mask, the ball emblem, and the "Eye of Madness", into the box, and then put it in the compartment.
Finally, the floor was restored and the carpet was laid, and there was no sign of anything unusual.
If you plan to use the Drifting Town as a "springboard" in the future, then hide the Grim Reaper's items in the gap so that it is easy to access. In the future, those things that are inconvenient to bring back to the fortress can also be hidden here.
Anyway, except for him, no other human being can enter or leave this town.
This is his private collection room, and the key is his 'essence'. There is no need to worry about losing it or being stolen. There is no place safer than this.
Snapped.
Open the door and go home.
The next day, Tianyang sat in the early morning sunshine, facing the windowsill, so that the two surveillance officers could observe him. He ate breakfast openly and read a book.
But what Tianyang was reading was not the contents of the book, but the investigation report sandwiched between the pages.
Investigation report on 'Dong Fang'.
Although the thief's professional ethics were not good, his ability was still good. The report listed all kinds of information about Dong Fang. It was comprehensive, detailed, and well-illustrated.
Unexpectedly, Dong Fang was actually from the Lower Town District, and had a history of theft and robbery when he was young.
It is really amazing that a person who comes from the downtown area can reach such a high level now.
The report pointed out that after Dong Fang became an adult, he joined the Reverse Realm gathering team and came into contact with the Star Marrow Pillar by chance, thus awakening as an Ascendant.
Next, he joined the Night Walkers and broke through to Rank 4 in a short time.
After reaching Rank 4, Dong Fang had his own team, but half a year later, he applied to be transferred to the 'Break the Formation'.
The captain of the formation-breaking team he joined was Su Lie!
When he saw this, Tian Yang's body trembled slightly. In order to prevent the surveillance personnel from noticing anything unusual, he temporarily took
books, sweep up the rest of the breakfast, and put the leftovers and tableware into the kitchen.
After a busy period, Tianyang, who had changed into casual clothes, returned to the living room, picked up the book, and chose an angle that would make it convenient for the surveillance personnel to observe him but would not be discovered that he was reading the report, and the boy continued reading.
After Dong Fang joined the Formation Breakers, the thief basically could not get his information. It should be encrypted by the fortress. In addition, the Formation Breakers usually operate in the opposite world, and there are not many records. It is normal that the thief could not get detailed information.
But three years after becoming a formation breaker, that is, 17 years ago, Dong Fang was transferred from the Night Walker to the Iron Wall system.
This was a cross-system transfer, which seemed to have attracted the thief's attention, so he specifically investigated it, but got very little information.
However, one of them caught Tianyang's attention.
The report was scribbled with the words "Captain Su Lie is missing. Is there any connection between this and Dong Fang's transfer?" There was a question mark after this sentence. It seemed that the thief had not found the answer either.
Tianyang closed the book and looked at the ceiling of the living room in a daze.
Su Lie is missing
This incident should have happened after Su Lie discovered the "Disaster Compass". After all, before this, he was still active as a formation breaker.
But what happened later that caused Su Lie to disappear, and why was Dong Fang transferred from Night Walker to Iron Wall
Open the book and continue
After that, Dong Fang worked in Tiebi for 17 years, and five years ago, he became Cao Gang's deputy. Now Dong Fang is in a high position and has great power.
During these seventeen years, Dong Fang never got married, had no children, and lived alone.
After reading the report, Tianyang closed the book.
One thing is certain, Dong Fang knew what happened to Su Lie, otherwise he would not have let someone take the diary from him through He Bi.
Unfortunately, the clues in the diary pointing to the Gem Town had already been obtained by me. The diary that Hebi took away was worthless.
In the Gem Town, he found the information about the Disaster Compass and knew the existence of the Beidou Base, which enabled him to participate in the family competition and obtain the route map to another base.
Assuming that he had not obtained the clues in the diary, then by now, the person who might have obtained the route map of the Nanli base might be Dong Fang.
If that’s the case, does Dong Wen know about the Disaster Compass
he... .
He is looking for that 'grave'!
Tian Yang almost jumped up, and felt that this possibility was very high. Because Dong Fang was once a formation breaker, and the captain was Su Lie, so it was entirely possible that he knew that Su Lie had obtained the "Disaster Compass".
Moreover, he may have read Professor Fan Wenzhe's grave report, which is why he had such an idea.
In addition, Liu Jinglin also died because of 'Su Lie'. Could it be that Dong Fang was also the one who killed Liu Jinglin? At that time, no one knew how Liu Jinglin died in the medical center. Tiebi conducted an investigation on this, but there is still no result until now.
But if the murderer is Dong Wen, then it makes sense. As the second-in-command of Tiebi, it would be very easy for him to destroy the evidence.
However, the murderer probably didn't expect that Liu Jinglin secretly passed a message to him, allowing him to find "Twelve Movements of Dusk" and analyze an important character from it.
The former rector of the Church of the Lord of War, Zuo Mohan!
As long as we can get in touch with this former parish priest, we should be able to make significant progress in understanding what happened when Su Lie disappeared.
Now, there is a chance to meet Zuo Mohan...
