"Supposedly? Who said that? I'm afraid no one has ever entered that place, or no one has ever come out. "
Chen Zhao wasn't a kid. He wouldn't believe anyone.
Moreover, it was something so unreliable. Elixir of life?
How could there be an elixir of life in the world?
"This … uh …" Carlo thought that Chen Zhao would at least show some interest.
But Chen Zhao didn't believe him at all. His tone was full of doubt.
"Fine, Chen," Carlo said helplessly. "I really hope you can consider my words seriously."
He knew that he couldn't force anything, so he could only leave.
At least, he didn't have anything that could move Chen Zhao.
The three returned to the hotel. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Tyler, go open the door."
Tyler opened the door and saw a skinny man wearing a hood standing at the door.
"Who are you looking for?" Tyler asked.
"I'm looking for Professor Carroll."
"Professor, there's someone at the door looking for you. Do you know him?"
Carlo peeked out. "Let him in."
The hooded man walked into the suite and stood before Carlo.
"I was introduced by Sylar."
Carlo looked at the hooded man. After some thought, he asked, "What can you do?"
"I can kill all of you."
Fannity and Tyler immediately pointed their guns at the hooded man.
"Put them down. Put them down." Carlo waved his hand. "Even if you're very capable, don't say something like that. They might be your companions in the future. Of course, that's if you can show them what you're capable of."
"How do you want me to show them?"
"How about this," Carlo said. "As long as you can go to someone's house and get a painting, I'll accept you into the team."
"Sure. Where's the painting you want me to get?"
"Mountain Town, in the villa by Mirror Lake. It's a China painting."
"Okay. I'll bring it here at this time tomorrow."
"Oh, I still don't know your name."
"Murphy," the hooded man said without turning his head.
"Then good luck to you, Murphy."
Tyler closed the door and said meaningfully, "Professor, you're asking him to die. Chen isn't easy to deal with."
"He comes from a special family. The people in this family are all very strong, the kind that surpass the limits of humans. So, if he wants to prove his worth, he has to at least do something that surpasses the abilities of ordinary people."
"Are you sure this won't anger Chen?"
"Alright, I'll return the painting to him after I get it."
…
Murphy left the hotel and took out his phone. "Dad, I've already contacted Professor Carlo, but your trick doesn't seem to work. Professor Carlo asked me to steal a painting from someone's house. They'll only accept me if I get this painting."
"Murphy, aren't you being ruthless enough?"
"No, I'm already very cold-blooded. Because of this, I went to watch Code 47 three times."
"Did you change into the suit of the main character of Code 47?"
"I don't have money. I'm wearing the hooded outfit I bought last year."
"This is where the problem lies."
"Then what do I do now?"
"Follow Professor Carlo's request and steal the painting."
"I've never been a thief before."
"There's a first time for everything."
"But I don't want to do it."
"Then do you want to make a lot of money?"
"Yes," Murphy answered instinctively.
"After you earn some money, return the money for that painting to that family."
"Okay … but."
"What other problems do you have?"
"I don't have money for a car."
…
Murphy came to the other side of Mirror Lake. Looking at the luxurious villa, his eyes were filled with envy.
"So rich. I want to make a lot of money too and live in a house like this," Murphy muttered to himself.
Murphy stretched his body. "Okay, let's swim over. We should be there when it gets dark."
Murphy took off his clothes and entered the water.
"The water here is so cold."
Murphy swam quite fast, and the sky gradually darkened.
Murphy saw a man and a beautiful woman by the shore. They were barbecuing and drinking in the yard.
"I really envy the life of the rich." Murphy's face was filled with envy. "I want to become rich too. I want to be as successful as that man."
Suddenly, something seemed to tug at Murphy's feet.
"Is it a big fish?" Murphy didn't take it seriously at first, but soon, the thing wrapped around Murphy's feet and pulled him into the water.
"Save … Gulp, gulp … Save …"
…
Fali looked at the lake. She seemed to see something splashing on the surface, but because it was too dark, she couldn't see what it was. "Chen, there seems to be someone in the water?"
"No, you're wrong. It's a big fish," Chen Zhao said. "Are you full?"
"Yeah, almost."
Chen Zhao snapped his fingers. Three or four underlings flew out and fought to clean up the yard.
"It's a bit cold outside. Let's sit inside."
"Okay."
Chen Zhao looked back at the lake. He already knew when the person entered the water.
As for who it was, it wasn't important.
What was important was that he'd trespassed on Chen Zhao's territory, so he definitely didn't have good intentions.
Regardless of whether Chen Zhao killed or kept him alive, he had to at least make him suffer.
Chen Zhao dawdled until Fali fell asleep. Then he went to the second floor of the basement.
Then he saw a skinny man who only had a pair of briefs left. He was hugging his chest and cowering in the corner.
Cerberus and Little Nine were blocking Murphy from the front and back. Chen Zhao asked, "Did you guys strip him naked?"
Cerberus and Little Nine shook their heads, indicating that it had nothing to do with them.
"Whatever. Regardless of whether he's a good person or not, I'm sure that he's a pervert. Eat him."
"Ah … Aren't you going to interrogate me? For example, who sent me here? For example, what is my purpose here? "Murphy cried out in horror.
"No need. I don't think you'll tell me. It's late and I need to sleep."
"No, you can ask. It's easy to pry my mouth open."
"Will you?"
"Yes, I will."
"Okay, then tell me."
"If I tell you, will you let me go?"
"If I say I will, will you believe me?"
"I will," Murphy answered seriously.
"Yes, I'll let you go." Chen Zhao nodded. "Then tell me who sent you and what their purpose is."
"Professor Carlo sent me. He wants me to help him steal a China painting that you hang in your house."
"Professor Carlo? Were you sent by Professor Carroll? "
"Yes, that's right."
