Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 90 Zhou Tong Detective Series IV: The Skinner (24)
Although the night was already deep and there were few stars to be seen in the city, there were tall buildings and bright lights in the distance, indicating the prosperity of the capital.But she didn't care to appreciate the night view of the city, as if countless moths were circling in her mind.

Is my judgment wrong?But if that wasn't the case, how could the other party take the two people away without a trace?

She closed her eyes, meditated for a moment, opened them again, and cast her gaze to the sky.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

We have been looking for it on the ground, in the research institute, but what about above?Will they be on the roof?

The thought that suddenly appeared in his mind made Yan Yongjie refreshed.In any case, she definitely went upstairs to check it out.

However, the building of the research institute does not have a roof, so there are no stairs leading to the top of the building. No one has gone to see what is on it and what it is like.Of course, it is quite difficult for ordinary people to climb to the top of the building, but for Yan Yongjie, it is an easy task.

Fortunately, it was late at night, otherwise, if someone else saw her flying over the roof and walls, it would definitely cause commotion.

After a few jumps and turning over, she went up to the top of the building.

The roof of the building is surrounded by iron frames, and inside is a flat ground, on which there are four large water tanks, but there is nothing else.

Yan Yongjie was slightly disappointed, but she still decided to go forward and check the four water tanks.Because only the inside of the water tank is the most likely to hide people.

She first walked to a water tank and patted it. The water tank made a dull sound, obviously it was full of water.She had no choice but to go to another water tank, but when she was about to take pictures, there was a sound on the top of the water tank, and the lid sealing the water tank flew out, followed by a 180-degree turn like a flying saucer, and hit her.

Because the distance was too close and the speed was so fast, Yan Yongjie had no way to avoid it, so she had no choice but to back away quickly while using both hands to block the water tank cover.

You must know that the water tank cover is made of pig iron, which is hard and heavy, and coupled with the ferocious force, it is extremely powerful.Even with Yan Yongjie's level of skill, it would be too much for him to fight hard, and his hands were almost broken by the water tank cover.

However, before she could recover, a black shadow shot out of the water tank and attacked Yan Yongjie with a thunderous force.

Yan Yongjie's arm at this time was like lead, and she could hardly lift it.In desperation, she had no choice but to turn over and dodge, and then rushed to attack her legs to slow down the opponent's attack.

At this time, she recognized the black shadow attacking her at a glance. Although the clothes of this man were dressed like urbanites, she would never forget this face. It was the lama who had fought against Uncle Fang .

But at this time, he didn't look like a lama at all. He was wearing a pair of jeans, a black jacket wrapped around his upper body, a white scarf around his neck, and a blue wool cap on his head. At first glance, he looked just like ordinary people on the street.

Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed and the sneak attack was unsuccessful, the other party no longer dodged, and stood with his breath held, looking at Yan Yongjie opposite him with murderous eyes.

But Yan Yongjie was both happy and surprised at this time, happy that Wang Minghan and Ge Weijun must be in the water tank, and finally found them; surprised that the one who kidnapped them turned out to be that martial arts lama.

She knew very well that a fierce battle was inevitable.She knew that the opponent's martial arts were superior to hers, and she might not have a chance of winning if she fought hard, and the most important thing now was to save people, not to fight fiercely.

Not far downstairs, there are police officers, as long as they are alerted, it is not impossible to catch this lama.However, there are no stairs to come up here, even if the guarding police officers want to come, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort.The only thing to do now is to buy time.

Thinking of this, Yan Yongjie let out a long howl, the person was like a dragon, and the fist was like a shooting star, and hit the Lama with ten successes.

The lama didn't dare to make a big deal, and he didn't have a scimitar in his hand at this time, so his momentum was three points weaker.However, he was not afraid, his body was like a giant tower, as stable as Mount Tai, he let the shadows of fists fill the sky, but he just poured out his fists, like a tiger descending the mountain, straight for Yan Yongjie's chest.

Yan Yongjie didn't expect that the other party's sword skills were as good as gods, but his boxing skills were not inferior to her by half.She was in the air, and it was difficult to change her figure, so she had to use her strength to punch with one hand, slipped sideways, and then kicked out to hit the opponent's waist.

Lama didn't dodge or dodge, his fists blocked her flying legs.

The fists and legs intersected, the strong wind howled, and the two made their own unique moves.

The lama has deep internal strength, combined with great strength and heavy fists, he fights recklessly and is eager to make a quick decision.Yan Yongjie struggled to deal with it, her fists and feet were throbbing with shock from the opponent.She guessed the other party's mind, and no longer fought hard with him, but kept making false moves, walking by his side.

She has a flexible figure and moves like a cunning rabbit. Although her skill is not enough, the lama can't do anything about her for a while.

As a result, the situation was reversed, and the lama was in a hurry, but he still couldn't subdue Yan Yongjie.

And Yan Yongjie waited for work with leisure, and was in a relaxed mood. She only needs to wait for the police to come up, and then she can arrest the lama in one fell swoop.

The lama was furious, but he was helpless, seeing that his plan fell short.He shouted angrily, stopped entanglement, shook Yan Yongjie away with his fist, and then jumped to the side of the building, intending to escape.

Yan Yongjie saw that the police were about to climb up, and she was not willing to let the lama leave so easily.He hurriedly jumped forward, grabbed his ankle with one hand, tried his best to pull him back from mid-air.

The lama was waiting for this moment. He turned around without any haste, but a handful of powder was suddenly thrown out of his hand.

Yan Yongjie never expected that he would play such a trick, and hurriedly dodged, but it was too late, a burst of fragrance hit her nostrils, followed her, her eyes turned black and she became dizzy.

The lama sneered and grabbed her neck with one hand.

He looked at the water tank, then at the police who were about to come up, and knew that he had no chance to take Wang Minghan and Ge Weijun away.He hated Yan Yongjie so much in his heart, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to kill her with one hand, but just as he exerted his strength, he saw a petal birthmark on the right side of Yong Jie's neck.

He was startled, his face was full of astonishment, his hands had no strength, his whole body trembled, he almost lost his balance and fell down.

After regaining his composure, he picked up the unconscious Yan Yongjie without hesitation, jumped off the tall building, galloped like a cheetah, and disappeared into the night.

Chapter 21 Sword Sacrifice Ceremony
Keluodong Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, surrounded by a valley, and there is only one trail leading to the village.From a military point of view, this is definitely a fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Zhou Tong, Chen Siguo, and Chang Ning hid outside the village, but were unable to enter the village due to the strict surveillance of the villagers.

The three of them have been cats all night, and they are sleepy and tired. The most important thing is to eat and drink dry food and water. If they continue to consume like this, it may be difficult to sustain.

"The festival is about to begin. These villagers have not relaxed at all. It seems that they are very nervous about this event." Chang Ning couldn't help but said.

Zhou Tong naturally understood that he wanted to sneak in at night, but he spent the whole night without finding any chance.

"Why don't we go up the mountain first, find a hidden spot on the top, and see what happened in the village." Chen Siguo suggested.

This is indeed the best way at present, and Zhou Tong has to admit it.

The three quickly reached an agreement to detour to a mountain and began to climb the mountain.

Fortunately, the village head returned their luggage and equipment, otherwise, it would be impossible to climb these cliffs with bare hands.

Chen Siguo and Chang Ning had received rock climbing training in the police force, and with the help of climbing tools, the climb was not too strenuous.

But Zhou Tong was much worse, he was almost learning to crawl, he slipped and fell several times, fortunately there was a rope to tie him and Chen Siguo together so that he would not fall to pieces.

The sky paid off, and the three of them finally climbed over the cliff one after another and came to the side close to Keluodong Village, but they dared not continue down, as there were guards all around the village, and there was no dead end.In order to avoid being seen by the villagers, they had to hide behind a huge ice cone.

But here is condescending, and the whole Keluodong Village has a panoramic view.

At this moment, the three of them looked from a distance, and couldn't help but be silently speechless.

On the square in the middle of the village, the villagers are neatly and orderly divided into rows, with solemn attire and serious expressions.

Around the square, there are dozens of incense burners, and the green smoke curls up, just like a fairyland.In the middle, there used to be a well, but now an altar is built on it. The altar seems to be made of pine wood, about ten meters high, and the size is like half a basketball court. There are stairs on the right side, leading directly to the altar above.

There are also streamers and flags hanging around the altar, waving in the wind, quite imposing.

The village head stood under the altar, wearing a crown, wearing a robe embroidered with dragons going out to sea, holding a cane with a bull's head, knocking every step, and walking slowly towards the altar.

All the villagers under the stage watched with bated breath, and followed the village head with their eyes, not daring to squint.

The village chief boarded the altar, walked to the center, paused for a while, then raised the bull's head crutch in his hand, and muttered something.But he spoke Tibetan, Zhou Tong and the others could only understand a few unwritten words.

After speaking, the village head put down the bull's head crutches and cast his gaze to the back of the altar.

Luoxi, who was wrapped in white clothes, slowly came out from behind a house. Behind her, two big men with bronzed skin were walking slowly, holding golden flowers high.

Jin Duo'er was tied tightly, like a mummy, but only her mouth was sealed on her head.

The pedestrian walked under the altar, and the two big men lowered Jin Duo'er to a level with Luoxi's neck.

At this time, another old woman came up and handed Luo Xi something similar to a whisk.

After Luoxi took it, she raised her hand and used it to stroke Jin Duo'er's body, as if performing some kind of ritual.

Although Jin Duo'er couldn't speak, her expression was peaceful and she didn't struggle, allowing Luoxi to "act recklessly" on her.

Luoxi looked at Jin Duo'er, the innocence and kindness of a little girl were gone in her eyes, and there was only hatred and resentment in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Tong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After a while, Luoxi completed the ceremony, Jin Duo'er was lifted up again, and then two big men carried her up to the altar.

The eyes of the villagers slowly raised up following Jin Duo'er's movement, and there was no trace of pity in their eyes, only hatred.

The hatred between them and the Esoteric Cult can be seen from this to the point where fire and water are incompatible.

Jin Duo'er was placed vertically on the altar, and the village head led two big men down from the altar.

Under the unified command of the village chief, the villagers dispersed in an orderly manner, and the original square formation began to turn into a circle with the altar as the center.

Next, the villagers began to chant words in their mouths. It was a bit messy and noisy at first, but gradually all the voices merged together, as if reciting in unison.The tone also gradually increased.

The villagers' chants echoed throughout the valley, solemn and solemn.

Although the three of Zhou Tong couldn't understand it, it didn't affect them, and they couldn't help but immerse themselves in this chorus-like chant.

But at this time, a strange thing could not help but divert their attention again.

The well under the altar suddenly seemed to be heated, and the well water began to boil and rise, and even splashed out of the well mouth and onto the ground.

At this time, the voices of the villagers became smaller and smaller, and they knelt down on the ground in unison.

A large amount of water mist began to diffuse from the well, making the entire area around the well hazy.

In the long water mist, a ray of golden light suddenly pierced the water mist, and soon, one ray transformed into two or three strands, and two or three strands transformed into seven or eight strands... Finally, the strands of golden light merged together, Dispel all the mist.

A golden ancient sword hangs above the mouth of the well, which is breathtaking.

Zhou Tong, Chen Siguo and Chang Ning couldn't help but look at each other. They have all seen many strange people and strange things, but they couldn't help being dumbfounded when faced with this situation.

The golden ancient sword stimulated bursts of heat waves, making the surrounding air dry and hot.

The villagers in front were all red-faced, sweating profusely, and miserable, but they dared not move half a step.

The altar on the well made a "chichi" sound and began to emit green smoke, but within a short time, flames ignited.

"If this continues, this Jin Duo'er may not be burned to death, but may also be thrown to death. We should take action to prevent these villagers from abusing lynching." As a policeman, Chen Siguo's natural sense of responsibility prevented him from just sitting idly by.

Zhou Tong didn't say anything, he didn't believe that Jin Duo'er would wait to die, but now he was more worried about those villagers.

But they can't allow them to think too much, but at this time, something unexpected happened.

"Look up!" Chang Ning suddenly shouted, pointing at the sky.

Her cry not only diverted Zhou Tong and Chen Siguo's attention, but even the villagers below looked up in unison.

On the mountain peaks surrounding the village, countless black spots suddenly jumped out and fell rapidly from the air.

The black dots quickly became clear, and they turned out to be people carrying parachutes, falling down like black snowflakes.

The villagers turned from surprise to anger, and threw spears, knives and forks one after another, while the villagers in charge of guards shot sharp arrows.However, these crude weapons can't do much, and they can't stop these raiders from the sky.

At this time, these raiders who were still in mid-air dropped Molotov cocktails one after another, covering the sky and covering the sky, making it almost impossible to dodge.Some villagers were directly hit, and instantly turned into a ball of flames, screaming in pain and rolling all over the ground.

The entire Keluodong Village turned into a sea of ​​flames, like a purgatory on earth, it was too horrible to look at.

What Zhou Tong was worried about finally became the reality in front of him.

Everything was in Jin Duo'er's plan. She was deliberately captured and then used herself as a sacrifice to participate in the sword sacrifice ceremony. As long as the "flame sword" appeared, she would grab the sword.

Zhou Tong regretted that she should have agreed to cooperate with her at the beginning, but in the end the three of them were manipulated by her and indirectly became her accomplices.

But it is useless to regret now, the most urgent thing is to save people.

Zhou Tong took the lead, followed by Chen Siguo and Chang Ning.Use the rope to descend quickly, and get down to the village before those men in black land.

It was too late to put out the fire, so the three of them had to rescue the other one by one, put out the sparks on some villagers, and brought the old people, women and children out of the flames.

Fortunately, after the men in black landed, they didn't attack the villagers, but went straight to the altar, aiming at the "flaming sword".

At this time, Jin Duo'er had regained her freedom, and was commanding the man in black calmly, and began to try to take the "flaming sword".

When the villagers were in chaos, the "flame sword" fell to the ground. At this time, it had lost all luster and was pitch black, no different in appearance from an ordinary iron sword.

But an impatient man in black wanted to take a sword when he went up, but as soon as his hand touched the sword, he immediately let out a scream. The entire right palm was burnt to black, black smoke came out, and a foul smell came out.

This sudden change made the other men in black startled. A group of people surrounded the "flaming sword", but no one dared to step forward.

The fire around them was getting bigger and bigger, and the villagers of Keluodong Village gradually recovered from their panic. Seeing that these esoteric people wanted to grab their swords, they immediately picked up their weapons again and attacked them desperately.

Time was running out, Jin Duo'er made a decisive decision, pulled an iron chain and wrapped it around the "flaming sword".

"Drag away, withdraw!"

The esoteric people were well-trained, and upon hearing the order, the two men in black immediately dragged the iron chains on the left and the right, and quickly ran out of the village with the "flaming sword".

The other men in black guarded the surrounding area to resist the villagers who were chasing them.

Jin Duo'er's purpose was to grab the sword, and she didn't want to entangle the villagers. She left a dozen men in black to block the villagers, while she led a large army and quickly evacuated with the sword.

Although the three of Zhou Tong wanted to stop them, they were powerless to save them, and they cared more about saving people than seizing the sword, and they had no time for others.

Jin Duo'er was determined to win, and the secret sect's plan to seize the sword was about to be completed, but no one expected that the situation would change suddenly.

A silver metal net suddenly flew out from one side of the mountain, covering the "flaming sword" that was dragged on the ground.

The two men in black with swords were shocked, and hurriedly dragged, trying to pull the "flaming sword" out of the net.

It's a pity that this silver metal net seems to have a spirituality. Once wrapped around the "flaming sword", it seems to be sucked up, and the tighter it is wrapped, the more it is pulled, the more it is wrapped around it.
