The scene around the campfire in front of the outpost was a little too strange. On one side, people were laughing and eating barbecued meat, while on the other side, five people were kneeling in a row and did not dare to move.
It was too tragic. These five people were really too tragic.
When Ren Xiaosu got out of the car and had a look, it was just as he had guessed. The five of them had a small Pyro Company logo embroidered on the front of their clothes.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with the direction the Pyro Company was investigating. They had guessed the disappearance of the two nanosoldiers might have been the work of a supernatural being, so they came here to try their luck. Their judgment was very accurate.
Ren Xiaosu was not wrong either. After Li Shentan told him about the Pyro Company's situation, he was worried they would harm the students at the outpost. As such, he rushed back overnight. There was nothing wrong with that either.
The only surprise was that neither the Pyro Company nor Ren Xiaosu had expected that old man Nonsense would be so powerful.
Meanwhile, Nonsense was surprised to see Ren Xiaosu because he had to give Ren Xiaosu another lecture the moment Ren Xiaosu returned. It was like an office worker who was suddenly told to work overtime on a rare weekend. His mood immediately darkened.
Ren Xiaosu explained, "I missed y 'all, so I rushed back overnight. What's going on?"
Actually, Ren Xiaosu knew Nonsense was definitely not a simple person from the beginning. How could a normal old man go up the mountain alone in the middle of the night to investigate a case? Wasn't he afraid he would be killed by the bandits?
So he definitely had something to rely on.
Moreover, Chen Wudi had said he was an old man of the land. Based on Ren Xiaosu's deduction, Chen Wudi probably meant that this person had supernatural powers.
Perhaps it was the unique vision of some kind of mental patient that allowed Chen Wudi to see the essence of things through appearances and hit the nail on the head.
Nonsense glanced at Ren Xiaosu and said with a smile, "Hurry up and have some meat."
The five members of the Pyro Company turned around and looked at Ren Xiaosu, but none of them dared to say anything. Nonsense said, "They're from the Pyro Company. We've been looking for them for some time now, but they're hiding very well. Someone else is causing trouble, so we haven't been able to find them. But I didn't expect them to send themselves to my doorstep when I came here to celebrate the new year … "
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, "You're really here for the New Year!"
You're not treating yourself as an outsider!
However, now was not the time to think about this.
Ren Xiaosu realized most people would have a fearful or disgusted attitude when they saw the Pyro Company. But when Nonsense saw this five-man team from the Pyro Company, he actually felt a faint sense of surprise.
"What are they doing here?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
Nonsense said with a faint smile, "Perhaps they're the culprits who killed the two Li Consortium officers."
When the Pyro Company members heard that, they got anxious. "We're also here to investigate this matter. We didn't kill them!"
"Did I allow you to speak?" Nonsense said with a glare.
The five members of the Pyro Company quickly shut up. Ren Xiaosu whispered to the people around him, "Did anyone witness the fight?"
The students shook their heads. "At that time, only Brother Wudi was outside. We were all studying in the house."
So Ren Xiaosu asked Chen Wudi, "What happened between them just now? Describe it to me."
He asked this because he wanted to deduce how strong Nonsense was based on the battle description.
Chen Wudi recalled the battle scene and said, "Holy shit!"
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
Ren Xiaosu was still waiting to hear the rest of the story. However, he realized Chen Wudi had already lowered his head and started eating his meat again.
So Chen Wudi's description of the entire battle was just "Holy shit!"
Can't you fucking catch up on your cultural studies?!
Ren Xiaosu felt a little melancholy. How could he judge Nonsense's strength through the description? However, he could get some information. The moment Nonsense made his move, even Chen Wudi was surprised by Nonsense's strength.
"Is he stronger than you?" Ren Xiaosu asked Chen Wudi.
Chen Wudi thought for a moment. "Not yet."
"You're quite confident …" Ren Xiaosu lamented. If he asked Chen Wudi about serious matters, he would probably become more and more confused.
He had been seeing Nonsense wake up early to practice his fist techniques recently. Could it be that his fist techniques were powerful or something?
Ren Xiaosu looked at Nonsense and asked, "Are they the murderers who killed the two officers?"
Nonsense said in a serious tone, "That's right. Tomorrow is the deadline the Li Consortium gave me to investigate this case. We've been frantically searching for the murderers, but we couldn't find them even after exhausting ourselves. So they can only be the murderers."
Ren Xiaosu was shocked. 'How are you exhausting yourself? It's obvious you're eating meat on vacation. Old man, you've never seriously tried to catch the murderers before, right?'
However, Ren Xiaosu was more than happy to see the Pyro Company's combat team pushed forward as the scapegoat. It was fine as long as they did not manage to catch him anyway.
However, Ren Xiaosu had a feeling that Nonsense had probably discovered something. They were not fools. Just the fact that he had diarrhea for six hours on the first day he came to the outpost was already unjustifiable. Moreover, the Wolf King had been constantly sending prey over. Even a fool could understand there was an inexplicable relationship between the outpost and the wolves.
Ren Xiaosu did not take any chances. They just had a tacit understanding with each other.
But when Ren Xiaosu thought of this, he suddenly wondered what Nonsense's motive was. Was it just so he could eat meat in peace? How was that possible!
"But there'll definitely be an interrogation process, right?" Ren Xiaosu wondered, "What if they refuse to admit to it?"
"If they die, they won't be able to deny it." Nonsense said calmly, "Isn't that the essence of refusing to admit to it?"
When the Pyro Company combatants heard this, they knew they would not survive!
How could they, who had strength surpassing that of ordinary people, be willing to wait for their deaths?!
In an instant, the five of them got up and fled down the mountain at the same time. They had never thought of making a move on Ren Xiaosu, Nonsense, and the others. They were already no match for Nonsense, and now that an unknown Ren Xiaosu had joined the fray, the only way for them to survive was to escape.
While the Pyro Company was escaping, Nonsense did not even move from his seat. When Ren Xiaosu saw Nonsense not moving, he did not move either.
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "Aren't you going to chase after them?"
Nonsense was amused. "How could I possibly chase after them with my old arms and legs? Why aren't you chasing after them? "
"The Pyro Company members are all supernatural beings, so how could a normal person like me dare to chase after them?" Ren Xiaosu said with a fake smile.
The Pyro Company members were already getting further and further away.
The two of them just sat there without giving chase. When the Pyro Company members turned around and saw this, they were overjoyed. They did not expect no one would chase after them!
When they ran to the mountainside, a patch of grass in the mountain path moved. Gunfire suddenly burst forth from under the cover. In the blink of an eye, an entire platoon rushed out from the shadows of the forest and caught the five people who were already very tired off guard!
When Ren Xiaosu heard the gunfire from the mountainside, he wondered when these people had set up an ambush.
