The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 666 Intuition
"Brother Cha came to see me two days before he died." Li Zi narrowed his eyes and recalled seriously, "In the evening, he brought me some food and wine, and we chatted while eating. After chatting, Brother Cha suddenly asked me if I could give him a weapon."

"Weapon?" Chen Ying was confused.

"I also find it strange that his talent cannot be used for weapons. If he must use it, it is not impossible to get a glove." Li Zi shrugged, "It turns out that he didn't want a glove, he wanted a needle."

"Needle?" Chen Ying was even more puzzled.

"Yes." Li Zi nodded: "I have seen many weird requests from customers, but this is the first time I heard about a needle."

"Why did he need the needle?" Chen Ying said.

"He said that he wanted a black gold needle that could penetrate the other person's body and directly seriously injure the other person's soul, allowing the other person's soul to leave the body without harming the other person's body."

Chen Ying was thoughtful and continued to ask: "How did you reply to him?"

"I can't do it. Isn't that nonsense?" Li Zi scratched his head and hesitated, "But in theory, it's not completely impossible. For example, I can create a black gold needle and let Jiang Hao help empower it. The premise is to find the active energy of the person gifted with spiritual body damage, and hurting the opponent's spirit body does not mean that the opponent's soul can leave the body. Anyway, it is too difficult to achieve, and it is basically impossible."

"Brother Cha also felt that this idea was a bit too far-fetched, so he gave up." Li Zi tilted his head.

"Before he left, he asked me to keep it a secret, saying it was for my own good. Who knew, he died two days later, and I guessed that something must have happened to him."

Chen Ying digested the current information and asked: "Did he leave anything behind? For example, a suicide note, last words, relics, etc."

Li Zi shook his head: "No."

Chen Ying intuitively couldn't ask anything else, "Okay, thank you. The reason why I came to see you today must be kept confidential."

Li Zi suddenly said, "Can I ask, are there any other suspected traitors?"

Chen Ying smiled apologetically, she couldn't say it.

Li Zi knows what's interesting, so I won't ask any more questions.

Lizi escorted Chen Ying out of the factory. Before leaving, Chen Ying warned: "Lizi, if you can trust me, just listen to me. From now on, stay here honestly and don't have face-to-face contact with anyone in the organization, especially women."

Li Zi nodded, "I understand."

……

Outside the factory is a cement road, with grassy open spaces on both sides and filled with abandoned cars. From a distance, it looks like the ruins of a pre-apocalyptic civilization.

Chen Ying walked on the cement road towards the intersection where the car was parked. She stopped halfway and found a person in front of her, who turned out to be Dou Hu.

Douhu squatted on two car tires, smoking a cigarette leisurely, looking at the scrapped vehicles on the grassland. At his feet, there was a wooden box containing a giant sword.

"Mr. Douhu?" Chen Ying felt something was wrong, so she kept a certain distance: "You haven't left yet?"

"Ah." Douhu flicked the ashes of his cigarette, turned to look at Chen Ying, and scratched his hair: "Chen Ying, let me ask you a question, do you trust your intuition?"

"What?" Chen Ying said.

Douhu flicked the cigarette butt onto the hood of an abandoned car, splashing sporadic fire. He stood up and jumped off the tire.

"Intuition means that although there is no basis, you believe in some kind of truth, and the facts prove that things are really like that." Douhu explained with a smile.

"I know what intuition means." Chen Ying looked defensively, "I don't understand why you suddenly told me this."

"Haha." Douhu took a step forward, "It must be related to you."

Chen Ying's chest sank, and she suddenly had a premonition of danger. She was holding the phone in her right hand, hanging down naturally, and her thumb slowly moved to unlock the screen.

"Don't move." Dou Hu caught it keenly, "Not even with your fingers." The blood in Chen Ying's body almost froze, and her breathing stopped.

"Chen Ying."

Dou Hu took a step forward again, and Chen Ying was completely shocked by the murderous aura emanating from his body.

He slowly pulled out the Blue Dog Demon Sword on his back: "I don't know why, but I just think you are Chenchen. Maybe it's because your names are very similar. Moreover, you are the least suspicious, but you make me feel the most suspicious."

"I'm not a traitor, your intuition is wrong." Chen Ying's voice trembled slightly, trying to contain the fear in her heart: "Douhu, don't do anything stupid..."

"Haha, how can it be considered a stupid thing?" A cold look flashed in Douhu's eyes, "I want to kill the right one, but I have eliminated the traitor for the Baichuan Regiment, and also solved the hidden dangers for the three major organizations."

"What if you kill the wrong one?" Chen Ying felt a chill running down her spine: Is this fighting tiger crazy?

"Then you killed the wrong person." Douhu stepped out with his right foot, held the knife in his backhand, hid it at his waist, and assumed an Iai posture: "Anyway, you probably won't survive until the end. There won't be much difference between dying early and dying late."

"You're crazy!" Chen Ying yelled: "The Baichuan Regiment will definitely know that you are provoking a war..."

"brush--"

Dou Hu turned into a phantom and slashed at Chen Ying with a ray of blue-purple sword light.

"Wow—"

Chen Ying didn't see Dou Hu's movements clearly at all. She only felt her eyes blurred as a strong wind blew by, her hair was lifted up, broken strands flew around, and the cold blade was pressed against her neck.

Douhu did not activate the sword energy of the [Murder Expert], otherwise, even if the blade did not cut into the flesh and blood, Chen Ying's head would have moved.

Chen Ying's heart was gripped by fear, and her heartbeat did not resume until she confirmed that her head was still on her neck.

"Plop...Plop! Plop! Plop!"

Fear, grievance, anger, joy... all kinds of emotions came up in a moment.

——Great, Douhu didn’t kill me, he was scaring me and trying to deceive me.

"Haha, not bad, he has determination." Douhu took back the Blue Dog Demonic Sword: "Okay, your suspicion has been removed, and I apologize to you."

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Chen Ying's cheek. Chen Ying tried to appear calm: "Douhu, if you do this..."

"I lied to you." Douhu interrupted with a sneer.

Chen Ying was startled again and felt a chill in her chest.

She opened her eyes wide and lowered her head in disbelief. She saw that Dou Hu's other hand was holding a dagger, and the dagger pierced Chen Ying's chest.

Severe pain bloomed like a flower on her chest. Soon, Chen Ying could no longer feel her heartbeat, and her heart that was stabbed quickly stopped.

Douhu in front of him was still looking at Chen Ying with a smile.

"you……"

Chen Ying slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Dou Hu's face, but in the end, she failed.

She leaned back and fell to the ground, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
