The Sinister Layman Tian
After leaving the hotel, Chu Tianshu kept his eyes and ears open, then leisurely turned into a deserted alley.
When he walked through the alley and stepped back into the sunlight, his appearance had changed considerably.
That face was thinner than before, with thinner and longer eyebrows, pale skin, and darker hair, but the lips were still rosy.
Not only has his appearance changed, but even the way he walks has become completely different.
He always walked with a powerful and imposing air, yet he could stop at any moment, maintaining his composure and self-assurance.
Now he walks with every step measured as if measured by a ruler, appearing more obsessive than before, yet he doesn't slow down. Before passersby even notice, he has already disappeared at the end of the street.
The Shinsegae Mall is very large.
Although the explosion was a sensational event, it only damaged a small area on the first floor.
Chu Tianshu could see the Shinsegae Mall from afar, but he had to walk around halfway before he finally saw the explosion site.
Outside the explosion site, a cordon has been set up, and outside the cordon, a large crowd has gathered.
The proportion of media personnel in the crowd was unusually high.
Chu Tianshu glanced over and saw at least twenty or thirty of them.
Only a few of them, who were employees of the television station, were allowed to sit near the entrance after showing their identification.
Chu Tianshu didn't squeeze into the crowd; he just blinked.
The perspective shifted, and everyone in front of me transformed into humanoid color blocks with Dharma Aspect.
Buildings and debris left behind after the explosion are presented in a more monotonous and somber manner.
Outside the explosion site, Chu Tianshu spotted a faint red mark.
really...
The explosion video was destroyed by flashes and a loud bang within a second of the criminal drawing his gun.
However, Chu Tianshu could see that the prisoner's posture was extremely coordinated the moment he drew his gun, clearly a sign that he was about to use his waist, hips, and legs to generate power and escape immediately.
Therefore, the person did not fire the gun on the spot and shatter the gas cylinder.
He first escaped from the camera's view before actually firing.
If someone would do that, they must have a pretty good chance of escaping.
Chu Tianshu bypassed the crowd and followed the trail.
Before long, he approached the sea.
In the distance, huge crane hooks were hanging, and the sound of ship horns could be heard; a large ship was docking.
Large shipping containers of various colors, red and blue, were neatly stacked on the shore.
The gaps between some of the containers form a maze-like passageway.
Chu Tianshu spotted the mark and strolled leisurely through this unfamiliar place, eventually slowing down beside a red shipping container.
The containers here are stacked at least two layers high, and there's a lot of dust on them. I don't know why they've been sitting here for so long.
Because the passageway is narrow, the containers block out the sunlight, but the sea breeze can still blow in through the narrow passage.
Walking here feels like walking at dusk.
Chu Tianshu came out today wearing a brown coat, and her hair and the hem of her coat were fluttering in the wind.
He slowed his pace, but didn't try to lower the volume of his footsteps. Instead, he raised his right hand and gently patted the container.
Take a step, then take a picture.
"Give me a heads-up, but don't suddenly pounce on me when I've just circled around to the door, or I'll slice you into pieces."
Chu Tianshu's voice was clear, but it sounded cold amidst the sound of the wind.
"Your master didn't send you out here to cause such a mess just to send you to your death, did he?"
The container door was half-open.
The young man hiding inside was still wearing that black hoodie, his eyes were red, and his mouth opened, revealing sharp canine teeth.
His gaze moved slowly, following the location of each knock, until it landed on the doorway. He pulled out a dagger with his left hand and gripped the large-caliber pistol with his right.
"Trouble."
Chu Tianshu sighed softly and patted the container again.
"Put down your gun."
Thump!!
As the container was slammed shut, the red-eyed man's arms suddenly bent sharply backward!
The elbow bone is completely broken, probably only connected by skin.
His upper arm extended forward, while his forearm hung straight down to the ground, the dagger and gun both lying on the ground.
The red-eyed man stared in utter horror at his arm, his features trembling, and a hoarse sound coming from his throat.
It seemed as if some force had erupted directly inside his elbow, causing this terrible condition.
Even after being transformed by the Bat Demonic Poison, their pain perception has been significantly reduced compared to that of ordinary people.
The intense pain was so intense that he couldn't make a sound.
The Bat Demonic Poison's enhancement of his brain nerves fueled even more terrifying speculation in the red-eyed man.
If, without realizing it, the opponent's strength had already seeped into his two arms.
So, how many parts of yourself are already riddled with hidden dangers?
If the next burst of power comes from the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical vertebrae...
The red-eyed man dared not think any further. Trembling, he backed away, gritting his teeth as he said, "Honorable sir, please come in."
Chu Tianshu just happened to reach out and push open the container door.
In Nanhua Origin Canon's view, there was only a trace left by this red-eyed man in the container; there were no other people with cultivation here.
Why did you shout "Seven Stars and Seven Po Souls"?
Chu Tianshu cut straight to the point, "Was the person who sent you on this mission also one of the Seven Souls?"
The red-eyed man's body had extraordinary healing abilities. In just a short while, the pain in his elbow had lessened considerably. He secretly glanced at Chu Tianshu, but the more he looked, the more uneasy he felt.
"Yes."
The red-eyed man knelt down immediately, bowed his head, and said, "Our leader is also one of the Seven Souls waiting to inherit the Grotto-Heaven."
Chu Tianshu's eyelids twitched slightly when she saw how submissive he was.
The previous high level of vigilance followed by such a humble demeanor likely stems not only from the disparity in power, but also from the realization, after facing the person directly, that he is not a good one...
Oh!
Chu Tianshu chuckled inwardly, but said aloud, "Sect Leader, with such a title, it seems you quite like Luo Zhi's subordinates."
"So when you shouted 'Seven Stars and Seven Po Souls' during your live stream, it wasn't just a provocation, but rather an attempt to find allies, right?"
The red-eyed man didn't dare to raise his head. "Yes."
"The cult leader said that if some hypocritical people find me first, I will either flee or die, and others will take my place to continue creating trouble outside and waiting for allies."
"But if someone of your distinguished bearing, sir, were to come first, then the leader has asked me to pass on a message to you."
The red-eyed man adopted an aged tone and said, "People like us, whose practices are considered evil and who may even become Evil Spirit, are not entirely unjustified. It's difficult for us to trust each other, but we must unite."
"Because if we don't unite, those few who haven't practiced evil arts will surely unite first and eliminate us."
"Having heard this, you may come and have a look."
