After the skill was activated.
The old man's body trembled slightly.
But it was only a slight tremble.
If Irin had not been watching the old man's movements, perhaps even this slight tremble would have been ignored.
Then, the old man's footsteps paused slightly.
There was a trace of surprise between his eyebrows and he looked at Irin.
Suddenly –
Everything was silent.
Of course, the surroundings were not noisy.
But when the old man looked over, Irin's heart actually felt that everything was silent.
The feeling of his heartbeat being stepped on finally disappeared.
The old man's feet landed on the ground silently.
Irin's heart did not explode on the spot.
Behind Irin, Ling Wuyan's eyes were dull, his body went soft, and he sat on the ground.
He was scared.
It was like a tight string suddenly relaxed, making him suddenly lose all the strength in his body.
Ling Wuyan was drenched. In the short few seconds just now, he felt that it was ten times … a hundred times more terrifying than the preparatory apostle trial he experienced not long ago.
[Entanglement of Calamity] … was ineffective.
Irin lowered his head and silently put away the blood jasmine.
He knew the identity of the old man ten meters away.
It was impossible for Irin not to know this person.
However, at this "point in time", Irin did not know the old man yet.
The old man did not know Irin either.
Therefore, Irin could only choose to remain silent.
The old man recalled the strange feeling that was like being bitten by a mosquito just now.
He was slightly surprised, but he did not care.
After all, who would care about being bitten by a mosquito?
The old man stood ten meters away and looked at Irin for a while.
Suddenly, he said, "Are you the bastard who bullied my precious granddaughter?"
“？”
Irin's expression was slightly dull for a few seconds, and then he slowly took out his phone from his pocket.
"Let me make a call?"
The old man snorted softly.
It seemed that he did not care about any of Irin's little movements at all.
Even if Irin took out a laser cannon from his crotch, he was confident that he could slap the laser cannon into pieces before the bastard fired.
Beep beep beep –
Beep beep beep –
Beep beep beep –
After waiting for a while, seeing that the old man's expression became more and more unfriendly, the phone finally connected.
"Um … Hello?"
Molly's voice sounded weakly.
Irin's face was expressionless. Without wasting any time, she said directly, "If you don't want me to be slapped to death by your grandfather, please explain to your dear grandfather whether or not I bullied you!"
The words "bully you" were squeezed out of Irin's mouth through gritted teeth.
"I think so?" Molly's tone was a little uncertain.
"…"
Ten meters away, the grandpa raised his palm expressionlessly.
Molly thought for three seconds.
If she didn't explain, with her grandfather's personality, he might really slap Irin to death.
Thus, Molly's tone softened. "Give the phone to Grandpa."
Irin pointed at the phone and tossed it to the old man.
After the old man took the phone, his cold face instantly changed into a doting smile. "My good granddaughter ~"
"Blah blah blah …"
"Hmm?"
"Blah blah blah …"
"Oh –"
The old man suddenly looked at Irin and dragged out the last word meaningfully.
As for what Molly said to her grandfather, Irin didn't know.
But there was one thing that Irin didn't exaggerate.
The old man in front of her could indeed slap her to death.
No.
He might not even need to slap her.
Irin was very clear about the identity of the old man in front of her … and his strength.
Invincible.
Age … ominous.
Molly's grandfather.
He had almost trained his ancient martial arts to the extreme.
He could stroll leisurely in a rain of bullets.
He could pluck chestnuts from fire with his bare hands without any damage to his hair.
It was said that ten years ago, before the arrival of the Tower era, he climbed to the top of Mount Everest with his bare hands without an oxygen tank and had a picnic at the top of Mount Everest.
Invincible, known as the strongest man in Dragon Nation.
Moreover, he was also the only pure human that Irin knew who had off-the-charts attributes but refused the Tower's summons and couldn't become an apostle.
…
[Do you believe in God?]
[Yes No?]
Then, Mo Rendi chose "No".
No one knew the reason.
But there were all kinds of unofficial histories that were passed down in later generations.
Later, Irin accidentally heard Molly mention that it seemed to be because Invincible …
She didn't understand English.
That was why she chose "No".
While Irin was recalling Mo Rendi's information.
Mo Rendi finally hung up the phone with his obedient granddaughter Molly.
Then, he instantly changed into an expression of an invincible expert and looked calmly at Irin.
One old and one young.
One old and one young.
They stared at each other.
Gulp.
Ling Wuyan silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
So, he silently took a step back.
Listen to Irin's words and be invisible.
Mo Rendi threw Irin's phone back.
Then, there was a full five minutes of silence.
Only then did Mo Rendi slowly say, "Boyfriend?"
Irin shook his head seriously. "No."
"Oh –"
Mo Rendi's face was stiff, and then he asked, "Just friends?"
Irin hurriedly nodded. "Yes!"
As long as you're willing to believe it.
Then, Mo Rendi didn't continue asking. Irin didn't know if he believed it.
Because sometimes, because some words were clearly the truth, but they weren't convincing.
There were many such things.
Mo Rendi waved his hand and snorted. "Follow me."
Mo Rendi didn't know if he wanted to teach Irin a lesson, but that soft snort seemed to carry some kind of strange magic, causing Irin's body to tremble slightly, and a metallic taste welled up in his throat.
Upon closer inspection, there was actually a little blood.
As expected of … the strongest man in Dragon Nation.
Irin silently compared in his heart.
He remembered when he was on Hundred-mist Mountain, when he was in a buff state. Was he invincible?
After thinking for a long time.
Irin simulated seven scenes in his mind, but he couldn't come to a conclusion.
Because even in the future, Irin had never seen Mo Rendi use his full strength with his own eyes.
His body of flesh and blood was unfathomable.
That was Irin's evaluation of Mo Rendi.
Although Mo Rendi didn't say a word, his posture was undoubtedly saying, "Follow me."
The phone in his hand had already hung up.
Irin didn't plan to call back and ask Molly what she said to Mo Rendi.
But looking at Mo Rendi's attitude, he probably wouldn't do anything to him for the time being.
"That damn girl …"
In fact, the last backup plan Irin left in the real world was Mo Rendi.
Mo Rendi might not have guessed that as the strongest human, he would fall into Irin's trap.
Of course, with his strength, he didn't care about these superficial battles of wits.
With Irin's understanding of Mo Rendi, Molly would definitely attract the old man's attention if she sneaked into a small place like Qingcheng time and time again.
With Mo Rendi's famous "Molly Complex" personality, it would be strange if he didn't secretly follow her.
After dealing with Xiao Yi, Irin asked Molly a question.
Molly said that no one noticed her sneaking out.
That … was impossible.
Therefore, Irin was 70% sure that Mo Rendi must be somewhere in Qingcheng.
Following Mo Rendi, there must be "that group of people".
"Well, it might not be a bad thing to contact them in advance."
The corners of Irin's mouth curled up slightly, and then he followed Mo Rendi's footsteps with Ling Wuyan.
…
In front of the Xiao family's house, there were a few round floating cars parked.
One of them looked to be about 30 years old, wearing a flowery shirt and beach pants. He was leaning against the car door idly, picking his nose and yawning.
After all, it was getting late.
It was already time to wash up and go to bed.
Seeing Mo Rendi walk over, the man in the shorts had a serious expression. He stood up straight and said loudly, "Leader!"
Mo Rendi casually pointed at Irin and Ling Wuyan behind him and said casually, "Take these two bastards back first. This old man will find time to interrogate … ask them some questions tomorrow."
Irin's expression was slightly startled.
Then, Mo Rendi didn't explain and walked into the night alone.
His footsteps looked very slow, but strangely, his seemingly slow step actually covered a great distance. It was as if one step was equivalent to ten steps.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Irin's sight.
After Mo Rendi left.
The man in the shorts suddenly gave Irin a thumbs up.
"Uh, kid, you really are a heifer in the sauna …"
“？”
“？”
"(steamed) really awesome!"
"…"
"…"
"You're Irin, right?"
The man in the shorts grinned and then introduced himself, "You may not know me, but my name is Zhao Yulong, Zhao as in Zhao Zilong, Yulong as in Jade Face Little Flying Dragon. Um … I'm the person in charge here tonight."
No, you're wrong. I know you.
Irin said to himself.
But on the surface, he nodded calmly and did not say anything.
Irin was not surprised that Zhao Yulong was able to find her information at lightning speed.
Because the power of the other party was not something a mere Qingcheng police station could compare to.
Of course, if it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Yi was a cyborg, even if Irin killed Xiao Mo, she might not have attracted Zhao Yulong's attention.
Special Case Group.
This "special ability" was not the kind of "special ability" that was described in classical novels.
Of course, the people inside also had all kinds of strange means.
However, the exact full name of the Beyonder Group should be … the Special Abnormal Event Handling Team.
The name was a little long, so it was usually abbreviated as the "Special Case Group".
As the name implied, this department was not part of the normal establishment.
Drifting away from the sight of ordinary people.
They were responsible for dealing with "anomalies" in the real world.
Even if there was a large-scale murder in a certain city, as long as it was not an "anomaly," it would not attract the attention of the Special Forces.
But once it involved an "anomaly" that ordinary people could not reach, it would attract the attention of the Special Case Group.
And Xiao Yi's cyborg identity could not be made public, so it would definitely attract the attention of the Special Case Group.
This was also the reason why Irin felt that it was very troublesome after killing Xiao Yi.
But in fact, once one became an apostle, he was no longer an ordinary person.
Sooner or later, Irin would come into contact with the Special Case Group.
Moreover, the leader of the Special Case Group was Molly's grandfather.
It was just a matter of sooner or later.
Irin had long been aware of this and … was prepared.
Irin and Zhao Yulong shook hands in a friendly manner.
For Irin, this was a new understanding.
In short, they were not enemies.
Zhao Yulong gave Irin a thumbs up and whispered in Irin's ear, "I didn't expect that someone would dare to flirt with the leader's good granddaughter, tsk tsk tsk … Awesome, martyr! Ah no, warrior! Hehe, warrior! "
A real warrior dared to face a bleak life and dared to face dripping blood?
Zhao Yulong probably meant this?
Irin only said one sentence, "She and I … really don't have that kind of relationship."
"Okay, I understand, I really understand."
Zhao Yulong patted Irin's shoulder, revealing a tacit understanding that said, "We are all men, why hide? You know, I know too."
"…"
Seeing that Irin did not speak, Zhao Yulong rolled his eyes.
He said, "You can't be worried about this lousy Xiao family, right?"
"Don't worry, we will take over this matter. This is already a special anomaly. Whether you are guilty or not, it is up to the leader to decide."
"But then again, compared to this lousy Xiao family …" Zhao Yulong's voice became softer and softer, muttering, "You dared to flirt with Mo girl, this is a big deal …"
"…"
At this moment.
The communication device hidden in Zhao Yulong's ear vibrated slightly.
Hearing this.
Zhao Yulong's face changed slightly.
He subconsciously said to Irin, "You stay here … Uh, forget it, you guys follow me. Anyway, you are not ordinary people. The leader also asked me to keep an eye on you guys. If you run away, I am really afraid that the leader will use me to practice his fist."
Irin was speechless.
But … invincible … maybe he really could do it.
This was actually one of the reasons why Irin did not take the initiative to contact Molly for three years before becoming an apostle …
Irin followed Zhao Yulong back to the Xiao family's house.
But unexpectedly …
In addition to the secret room where Xiao Mo was.
Unexpectedly,
There was another secret room!
No one would have thought that the Xiao family's house actually hid so many secrets.
The special group's efficiency was extremely high.
While Irin and Zhao Yulong chatted, the corpses in the burial pit, as well as the corpses of the Xiao family's guards, were moved out and neatly displayed in the front yard of the Xiao family's house.
In the empty yard, corpses were lying everywhere.
Such a scene, no matter who saw it, couldn't help but have a creepy feeling.
After all, it was rare to see so many corpses at once in today's time when order had not collapsed.
Of course, Irin, who was used to the cruelty of the apocalypse, had no waves in her heart.
The corpse of a member of the White Shadow Club was placed in the corner.
Because the mask that symbolized the identity of the "White Shadow" had been taken away by Ling Wuyan, no one else noticed the uniqueness of the corpse.
Moreover, the White Shadow Club had not been active in the underground world for more than ten years. Perhaps even the special group might not remember that such a behemoth was hidden in the dark.
Xiao Mo's corpse was also moved out.
After all, as the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Mo was treated well. His corpse was placed in the hall, lying upright on animal fur.
At least he didn't need to be exposed to the wind outside.
When Zhao Yulong, Irin, and Ling Wuyan passed by Xiao Mo's corpse, Zhao Yulong couldn't help but say.
"Your technique is quite skillful?"
There was a hint of ridicule in his voice.
As for what Zhao Yulong was thinking, Irin couldn't figure it out for a while.
She could only respond with silence.
Zhao Yulong smiled and didn't continue to pester.
The three of them walked all the way to Xiao Mo's bedroom.
The other entrance to the secret room was under Xiao Mo's bed.
Lifting the bed board, a metal cover had been opened.
Xiao Mo's room was full of people.
They were all wearing half-covered goggles that covered most of their faces, helmets, and the most advanced defensive soft armor on their bodies. A row of live ammunition hung on their waists. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were fully armed.
At a glance, this formation was extremely terrifying.
On the chest of their defensive soft armor, there was a dragon-shaped badge with the word "field" written on it.
Zhao Yulong didn't explain too much about the identity of these people.
But according to Irin's understanding of the special group, these fully armed soldiers were not members of the special group, but they were under the special group's management. The full name was the "special group's field team."
They were responsible for the suppression of armed forces.
One of the field personnel, who was tall and looked like the captain of a small team, saw Zhao Yulong walking over. He stood up straight and spoke in a harsh tone.
"Chief Zhao, we found a basement below."
"What's inside?"
Zhao Yulong was also a little interested.
The field team captain was silent.
Zhao Yulong understood in his heart and chuckled. "These two people have nothing to do with it. This matter is also related to them. Speak."
The field team captain gritted his teeth, and his tone was a little heavier.
"It's better … Chief Zhao go and see for yourself."
Zhao Yulong was slightly stunned.
As if he noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong, his expression gradually changed from the initial cynicism to a little more solemn.
"Okay."
..
..
A metal door had been silently broken open.
As for the means …
Irin looked at the messy fragments on the ground.
There was no need to say anything more.
The level of this door seemed to be lower than the basement where Xiao Mo was hiding. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easily broken open by the field personnel with brute force.
The three of them entered one after another.
The inside was already filled with the field personnel of the Special Group.
Irin's pupils shrank slightly.
His expression changed slightly.
Zhao Yulong had a smile on his face. He seemed to have already expected Irin's thoughts, so he explained, "Don't worry, you don't think that our Special Group sent so many people just to deal with you, right?"
Irin heard this, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Soon, he thought of another possibility.
"Xiao Yi?"
"That's right, after I saw that … corpse, I used the fastest speed to check all the properties of the Xiao family, and found … Forget it, let's not talk about it first."
Although Zhao Yulong looked carefree, he was also tight-lipped about confidential information. He didn't leak a single word.
But just based on these words, combined with the information Irin learned from the apocalypse, he could roughly guess.
Zhao Yulong took the lead and stepped into the basement.
The light in the basement was dim. Although there were many field personnel inside, the strange thing was that no one said a word. The huge basement was filled with a strange solemnity.
Suddenly.
Zhao Yulong stopped.
His whole body trembled.
He looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
Even with his identity as a member of the Special Group, he was still stunned and silent for a long time.
Irin followed closely behind. At first, he was a little puzzled by Zhao Yulong's reaction, but when he saw the same scene in Zhao Yulong's eyes, he suddenly understood.
Irin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time.
Zhao Yulong's slightly trembling body finally calmed down.
He clenched his teeth tightly and squeezed out two words from his mouth.
"Bastard!"
Ling Wuyan, who was at the back, was full of horror.
If he could speak, he would probably say, "What the f * ck?"
The entire basement was very spacious, about a few hundred square meters.
But this was not the main point.
The main point was …
In the entire basement, there were transparent sealed glass cabins, like glass windows in a museum, neatly arranged. Each glass cabin was about one meter apart from each other. At a glance, the glass cabins, which were one meter apart from each other, actually covered the entire basement!
The glass cabins were emitting a faint green light. In this dim basement, it was like a ghost fire, faintly exuding a strange aura.
And each glass cabin emitting a green light was filled with a transparent unknown liquid. From time to time, a string of bubbles would emerge from the bottom of the glass cabin.
In each of these cylindrical glass cabins, what was displayed were not valuable treasures, nor were they rare animals. Instead, they were —
People!
To be precise, what was "raised" in these glass cabins were once living people!
Some only had the lower body.
Or only the brain.
Some only had eyeballs, hearts, livers, and other fragmented organs in the cabins.
Even in some glass cabins, there were still "humans" with only half of their bodies and brains still intact soaking.
Those "incomplete" humans had lifeless eyes and naked bodies. Their internal organs were scattered and floating slowly in the transparent liquid.
"Retch —"
Behind him, Ling Wuyan finally broke this terrifying and strange silence.
Seeing this scene, Ling Wuyan's face turned pale. He lay on the ground and retched desperately.
However, because he hadn't eaten for a long time, Ling Wuyan's stomach was also empty. There was no food residue. He only vomited a pile of colorful vomit mixed with bile.
Zhao Yulong didn't expect that the "dark side" hidden underground of the Xiao family would be so shocked.
If this spread out, not to mention Qingcheng, it would cause a major earthquake in the whole country!
"Bastard! Bastard! "
Zhao Yulong gritted his teeth, and blood seeped out between his teeth.
The Evangelical Church.
Irin silently repeated this name in his heart.
He actually didn't know that behind the birth of the "mechanical life", there was such a dirty side hidden.
Suddenly.
Zhao Yulong patted Irin's shoulder.
At this moment, there was no smile on his face.
In the entire basement, there was no other sound except for the sound of Ling Wuyan's vomiting.
"Good kill."
Zhao Yulong said softly.
Good — Good — Good —
However, the last word reverberated through the entire basement.
