"Bi Bi Bi … Fang!"
Lan Mu transformed into Bi Fang and sucked in the surrounding flames in one breath, calming the forest fire.
He once again transformed into a human and stared at Luo Yan who had already formed a contract.
The contract was effective for both parties. Luo Yan chose to sell his soul in exchange for the promise of resurrecting Gu Liang.
If the resurrection conditions could not be met, Lan Mu would be counterattacked by the contract.
Any thoughts about Lan Mu in Luo Yan's heart could not escape Lan Mu's control. This law that bound him from the root made Luo Yan betray Qianlong.
But for him, the moment Gu Liang died, the most important thing in his heart was no longer the interests of the organization, but resurrection.
"You are still a member of Qianlong, I think you know what to do …" Lan Mu said.
Luo Yan felt the restraint on his soul and sighed: "I recommend you to join Qianlong in name. This will be of great benefit to you. Under normal circumstances, Qianlong will not reveal too much information to temporary workers. This also means that important operations will not involve you at all."
"You have also seen my secret … Do you still think I can join Qianlong?" Lan Mu asked back.
Luo Yan confirmed: "Yes! Your human form is perfect, even I couldn't tell that you were an anomaly before. Why do you have to worry about Qianlong? "
"I understand … You are probably worried about human experiments …"
"I will write a report, briefly describing that your strength cannot be replicated, and attribute it to your talent. As long as you don't show any supernatural power, Qianlong has no right to force ordinary people. "
"The value of Qianlong's existence is to maintain domestic supernatural order and fight against foreign organizations."
Lan Mu said: "What if I still don't want to?"
Luo Yan pushed his glasses and said: "Inviting you is my mission. There are only two possibilities for the failure of the mission. One, give up the invitation, the possibility is very low. Two, send another commissioner, to be honest, this will only be bad for you. "
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. Try to lower my strength evaluation as much as possible."
In the end, Lan Mu agreed to be Qianlong's temporary worker.
The current situation was different from before. As his man, Luo Yan had perfectly infiltrated Qianlong's inner circle. Even if Lan Mu became a temporary worker, it would not be a big deal.
"I'll give you a number. He's also my contracted slave."
"He set up a new shelter organization. Of course, it's still in its infancy stage."
Lan Mu gave Luo Yan his number. After talking with Luo Yan for a while, he left directly.
Luo Yan returned to Qianlong to deal with the higher-ups and prepare the mission feedback report.
As for Lan Mu, he quickly returned to the studio.
…
"It's going to be hard to stay in the country. At the very least … the forced transformation can't be carried out in the country …"
Lan Mu looked at the studio and smiled bitterly. His heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"At first, I just wanted to open a studio. At that time, I didn't seem to realize that I couldn't control my fate …"
"The ability to transform is like a rocket, all the way forward, all the way to the sky … It's not so easy to turn back."
The empty studio was spacious and bright, but Lan Mu felt lonely.
He had a lot of friends, but he hadn't contacted them for a long time. He also had a lot of brothers, but he could only stay away.
Concealing, deceiving, evading, no one in the world could share his secret.
Everyone in the studio gathered together because of him, originally to help him realize his dream. But in the end, he kept disappearing, and Lan Mu couldn't tell them the real reason.
His true friends didn't know his secret.
They knew his secret, but they could only be slaves.
Bai Ze was like this, Luo Yan was like this … even Ma Xiang …
As early as high school, Lan Mu lost his parents. In college, even his grandparents died …
In this world, who could stand side by side with him?
"If it goes on like this, I'll become a loner …"
Lan Mu murmured, took out his mobile phone and called Ma Xiang.
"Hello, I'm Ma Xiaoou, and you are?"
There was a strange voice on the other end of the phone. Lan Mu was stunned at first, and then reacted. It was Ma Xiang who was reincarnated. His voice was already different from his previous body.
"It's me, Lan Mu … Have you dealt with your family's affairs?"
Ma Xiang said, "Brother Mu, it's been dealt with. Now my name is Ma Xiaoou, and my ID card is here."
"Then help me get a new ID card …"
"No problem! Brother Mu … Do you have something on your mind? "
Lan Mu laughed, "Now there are three of us, one human, one ghost, and one neither human nor ghost …"
"Brother Mu, what's your situation now?" Ma Xiang asked.
Lan Mu laughed, "Come out and drink with me, I'll tell you everything."
"Old place?"
"Waiting for you!"
… …
In the old restaurant, the two of them drank to their heart's content like before.
Lan Mu didn't transform, but drank a box of beer in his human form. With his absorption ability, this bit of beer was quickly digested, but his head was still a little dizzy.
As for Ma Xiang, he didn't have any reaction to drinking. He didn't even have a heartbeat. He drank until his stomach was full, but he didn't feel any discomfort.
During this time, Lan Mu finally revealed everything, telling all his secrets to Ma Xiang.
"Brother, tell me, what should I do?"
Ma Xiang said calmly, "Don't tell Cheng Ming … He's still an ordinary person. Maybe, he's enjoying his current life."
"What you told me is too shocking. He won't be able to accept it."
Lan Mu smiled bitterly, "Yes … I've decided. The studio will be handed over to him in the future. I'll break away from the shackles here and do my best … to achieve my new goal."
Ma Xiang asked, "What about your past dream?"
"Ha! Dream? It's not worth mentioning … Hehe, maybe after I fully master my ability, I'll slowly run the studio and become a famous producer? "Lan Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I understand … Brother Mu! Aren't you going to the Lost Island? Aren't you going to fight against the world's most powerful organization? Aren't you going to make up for all the different kinds of energy scattered in the world? "
"Go ahead and do it! Your stage should be the wider world! Achieving all these goals is what you should do, instead of being restricted to a small studio or even a city! "
"In the end … count me in!" Ma Xiang said with certainty.
Lan Mu suddenly raised his head, and he immediately sobered up.
"You?" Lan Mu looked at his determined face and asked, "Why should I count you in? It's not easy for you to live a good life with your family. Isn't it good to stay with your parents? "
"Isn't your family your obsession?"
Ma Xiang said, "Brother Mu, do you think I'm still the same as before? I'm not a human anymore. I don't have a heartbeat, I don't breathe, and I don't even have blood flowing. "
"My current body is just a skin bag. As long as I want to, it's not difficult for me to change my body every day."
"I'm like a monster, just like you, Brother Mu. Can you and I still live peacefully like before?"
"The only way out is to keep going forward, keep going! Keep going until you're free and unrestrained, and finally you don't have to worry about anyone coveting you … "
Lan Mu said seriously, "You don't have to help me like this. I alone am enough."
"Haha! The last time we were drinking here, you said you wanted to open a studio, and Cheng Ming chose to follow you without hesitation. "
"At that time, I couldn't go all out … But it's different now. Cheng Ming can't help you, but I can!"
"These few days, I can already familiarize myself with the power of darkness, and even my soul strength has reached two thousand!" Ma Xiang said as he stared at Lan Mu, showing off his improved soul strength.
Lan Mu realized that Ma Xiang had indeed become stronger, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Almost a thousand more soul strength … Did you kill someone?"
"No … I just absorbed all the souls of the dead in Modu …" Ma Xiang said calmly.
Lan Mu came to a realization, and then he was speechless.
Ma Xiang had really changed. In the past, although he wanted to perform meritorious deeds, it was also to get promoted, and then live a leisurely life with his wife and children.
Since his resurrection, he was transformed into a Lich by Lan Mu. His state of mind was suddenly different, and he began to pursue power.
"Looks like you've been thinking about this day for a long time … People really change. As the world they come into contact with changes, their goals will also change …" Lan Mu sighed. In comparison, Cheng Ming was still an ordinary person, and he still yearned for a normal life.
Ma Xiang said, "Brother Mu, do you know what I found when I was wandering around the city collecting souls of the dead?"
Seeing Ma Xiang change the topic, Lan Mu was stunned. "What?"
"The real murderer of the dismemberment case … The guy that the police have been looking for for two months without any results!"
Lan Mu's expression froze. "Are you sure? Where is he? "
Ma Xiang explained, "Behind Mingjia Mountain is a barren mountain. My mental strength penetrated it and found that the inside of the mountain had been hollowed out, and there was a laboratory inside!"
"There were many human corpses and various animal parts in the laboratory, soaked in liquid and stored in glass containers."
"I absorbed all the souls of the dead in the laboratory, a total of 35 people! Their memory fragments were combined, and I found out that they were all killed by the murderer of the dismemberment case. "
"Although he hasn't committed any crimes for a long time, he has started to arrest people again in recent days, and he's much more low-key …"
"Some people go missing every day in Shanghai. This is inevitable for a large city, and some of them are missing because of him."
Hearing this, Lan Mu stood up directly and went out to find the shop owner to pay the bill.
Seeing that Ma Xiang was still sitting there, Lan Mu waved his hand.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Let's go! Brother! "
"Let's go and avenge you again!"
…
At night, on Mingjia Mountain.
Previously, Lan Mu was here to sign a contract with Luo Yan. He didn't expect to return here.
"It's right there …" Ma Xiang pointed at a barren hill and said.
"I've found it …"
Lan Mu's scanning range was much larger than Ma Xiang's, and the situation in the laboratory was clear.
"No one!"
Ma Xiang said, "Yes, the last time I came, there was no one. I haven't been here for at least three days now."
Lan Mu smiled. "The lab is very small. It seems that the culprit didn't have any helpers … This person isn't simple. Relying on himself, he was able to kill so many people and still get away with it. I even suspect that he has an anomaly."
"You absorbed the memory fragments of the dead. Do you have any information?"
"He seems to be a civilian scientist, probably studying artificial creatures. The genes of various creatures are placed here, and there seems to be cloning technology …" Ma Xiang replied.
Lan Mu nodded and said, "There should be something about his appearance in the memory fragments, right? Go back and investigate his information. You already know that his surname is Qu, and he's from Shandong … Of course, it may be false information, but you can give it a try. "
"There is a lot of information about him in the memory. The people who have recently disappeared are all from Dongtong City … I know how to investigate him."
After that, Ma Xiang asked again, "What do we do now? Aren't we going in? "
"It's no use for us to destroy this place. Wait! Wait for him to come back! "
Lan Mu continued, "We'll do what we should do. We'll come to patrol once a day, and he'll come back."
"I'll leave Shanghai in five days. I hope I can deal with him in these five days!"
