Nightmare Apostle

After putting the bamboo tube in, the reply came immediately. This time there were only four simple words on it: It's a deal.

Yang Xiao knew that this business was settled like this. While completing the task of the original owner of the opera robe, he could also make a lot of money. It was a bloody profit.

After collecting the two paintings and all the notes, Yang Xiao walked back to the wooden table and opened the cover of the incense burner. There was a small copper box under the incense burner. In the box were several burning walnut charcoal. Tear the note into pieces and throw it into it bit by bit. After it is burned to ashes, you pick up the jade sledge on the table and crush the lumps of ashes.

After confirming that no traces were left, Yang Xiao picked up his backpack and left. This time the door opened as soon as he pushed it, and the corridor outside was equally empty.

Even the solid wood cabinet placed outside the door was gone. There was still 500,000 yuan brought by Yang Xiao in it. It must have been taken away by someone from the hotel long ago.

Returning the same way, Yang Xiao finally walked out of the Peace Hotel. It was already dawn. Yang Xiao walked far away before using the mobile phone software to hail a car. After many twists and turns, he finally made it back to Rongcheng at 9 am. The first All I have to do is go back to the apartment and cancel the email I set up.

Then he sent a message to Fu Qingzhu, saying that he was back and hoped to return the mask to him as soon as possible. He had something to do and had to leave Rongcheng.

Fu Qingzhu said he was not in a hurry and asked him to keep the mask and give it to him when he came back. Anyway, he would not go to the Peace Hotel in the near future and would not need it for the time being.

Because he would be away for a longer time this time, Yang Xiao needed to take care of some things in the apartment. He grabbed his fingers on the opera robe, took out the telescope, and took out the cash, documents, and laptops in the room that might be exposed. All the things about identity are hidden in the mirror world. This is also a usage that Yang Xiao has only recently figured out. This soul-telling mirror is very magical. It is not a world of its own, but a key that can open the door to the mirror world.

To be more specific, wherever you use it, it will open the mirror world in the corresponding place. Now that he has hidden the things in the mirror world in the apartment, the only way is to wait for him to come back and use the mind-capturing mirror again in the apartment. ability to find what is hidden here.

"It's a pity. It would be great if the world could follow me." Yang Xiao sighed with emotion. If his dream comes true, he will have his own world and can access various items anytime and anywhere, as long as he can move them. move.

After hiding all the things, Yang Xiao looked at the opera robe and solemnly promised, "Sister, it doesn't matter whether it's money or not. I just want to help you vent your anger."

Yang Xiao didn't know whether the opera robe believed it or not. Anyway, he believed it. He raised his wrist and looked down. His wrist was clean. But when Yang Xiao took out the ghost lantern, the extremely thin red line appeared again, and it was even better than the last time. See extended a lot.

"hiss--"

Yang Xiao took a breath, looking at the speed of this red line, it would take almost a week to reach his heart.

Time was running out, so Yang Xiao quickly changed into clothes he didn't often wear, put on a peaked cap, lowered the brim of the hat, and set off after making a good route guide.

The so-called Xixibao is just a general name for an area. It is located in the northern mountainous area of ​​Nandao Province adjacent to Pingjiang Province where Yang Xiao is located. The area it covers includes 6 or 7 counties and some surrounding towns and villages. Although the place is large, it has a sparse population and poor environment. It is relatively barren and the folk customs are relatively rough and tough.

The place where Yang Xiao got off the bus was called Xia Shi Town. According to the information given by the hotel, the core stronghold of the Hunting Tiger Gang is located here, and the gang leader Huang Sanbing himself also lives in the town. However, this person is cunning and suspicious and often changes his residence.

Yang Xiao needed to determine his exact location before taking action.

It was already night when we arrived in Xiashi Town. Frankly speaking, Xiashi Town was well built. The streets were very lively with people coming and going. Bars, KTVs and other entertainment venues were everywhere. From time to time, drunken men and women would wander out of them.

"Handsome guy, handsome guy comes in to have fun, Shang K, my sister is so enthusiastic." When passing by the door of a KTV,

A girl who was guarding the door came up without explanation, grabbed Yang Xiao's arm and pulled him into the store. The girl had long red hair and heavy makeup on her face, but she could tell from her green brows that she was not very old, about Just coming of age.

"Let go, don't pull around, I'm a serious person." Yang Xiao broke away from the girl's arm and left without looking back.

Instead of choosing a hotel, he found a remote family hotel and stayed. Yang Xiao was not short of money, but ID cards were not usually required in places like this.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, the room was small and pitiful, with only enough space for a bed, a set of simple tables and chairs, and an old wardrobe. Fortunately, it had a separate bathroom. Although it was quite dirty, at least there was no need to go out to use the toilet.

After a day of hard work, Yang Xiao was tired. After a brief wash, he fell on the bed and began to think about what to do next.

Not long after, there was a stifling sound of footsteps outside the door, and then someone knocked lightly on the door.

Yang Xiao frowned slightly, took out the pistol from his backpack, stuck it behind his back, and slowly walked towards the door. Through the peephole on the door, he saw a middle-aged man with a thin body and a mean face outside, who was the owner of the hotel where he was staying.

Opening the door a crack, Yang Xiao frowned dissatisfied, "Is something wrong?"

When the store owner saw Yang Xiao, he immediately laughed twice and took out a photo album with yellowed corners from his clothes, "I live alone, hey, do you want some?"

"What are you kidding about?" Yang Xiaoming asked knowingly.

"Hey, let's find a girl to play with for a while. It's very cheap." The store owner thought he was getting business, and his attitude was very enthusiastic. He winked and hinted, "They are all handsome girls. If you are satisfied, you will be satisfied. If you are not satisfied, you will not be charged. "

As he spoke, the shop owner quickly flipped through the photo album, which contained photos of young girls wearing scantily clad clothes. Suddenly, Yang Xiao noticed that one of the photos included the back of a man behind him, and there was a tiger painted on the back of the man's shirt. There is also a yellow character embroidered on the shoulder.

Yang Xiao immediately thought that the owner of this store might be in the business of Huang Sanbing from the Yehu Gang. Of course, he was also a pimp at the bottom.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao's eyes became squinting, showing a look of temptation, "Um...brother, this is my first time too, is this...isn't it safe?

The shop owner suddenly laughed and lowered his voice: "Brother, don't worry, this is Mr. Huang's business. Do you think it's safe or not?"

"Is it Huang Sanye from the Hunting Tiger Gang?" Yang Xiao pretended to be surprised.

"Hehe, you are quite knowledgeable, right?" The shop owner licked his lips and showed a proud smile.

"Okay, what's the price?"

"800 for fast food and 2,000 for a night package.""

"It's so expensive. I'm a student. Can... can it be cheaper?" Yang Xiao pretended to be cautious and tried.

"Okay, I think this brother is quite pleasing to me. Let's just make a friend. How much cheaper do you want?" The shop owner took out a cigarette and lit it. He squinted and took a puff. He felt that the business was stable. Look at the young man in front of him. If you look like a slutty person with a weak kidney, you will definitely be a repeat customer in the future. You must learn to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish.

""200. "

"Okay, then it's 200 cheaper, and the fast food is 600 for you. You can choose someone." The store owner waved his hand generously and was about to give the photo album to Yang Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiao caught the photo album and just raised his head and smiled awkwardly, "Brother, you misunderstood. What I meant was that I can only pay 200. Well... I am a student."

"Young Master?!" The store owner was stunned for a moment, then exploded in an instant, "You are a student doing my shit, and you still want to go out and have fun with this little money?"

"Poor man, how far can you go, 200 yuan? You can use your own fucking hands!" The store owner snatched the photo album and left with a curse.

Yang Xiao didn't take it seriously. At least it must have stopped this night. After closing the door, Yang Xiao had a more direct understanding of Huang Sanbing. It was indeed not a good thing.

Frankly speaking, I didn't sleep very well that night. After all, his business was not done, but the business of other customers who moved in was. The bed in the room above Yang Xiao's head creaked for half the night, making Yang Xiao unable to sleep at all. No.

At 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, Yang Xiao finally fell asleep. He slept until 3 o'clock in the afternoon when he was woken up by a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, the shop owner stood outside the door angrily, reaching out and asking for money. "It's time. If you continue to stay, you'll have to pay. If you don't, you'll get out."

"I'll stay, I'll stay." Yang Xiao took out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to the shop owner with a pained look on his face.

Even though this place is not that good, the rent is not very cheap either. One hundred yuan a day. The boss got the money and turned around and left. Before leaving, he glared at Yang Xiao and warned him secretly that the grapes he didn't eat were his own. Question, don't go out and talk too much.

After dealing with the departure of the shop owner, Yang Xiao went back to pack his things, put on his cap and mask, put on his backpack and went out. He planned to have a meal first and then look for clues. It was too slow to check Huang Sanbing's whereabouts bit by bit. , he decided to kidnap a member of the Hunting Tiger Gang and dig out clues from his mouth.

After walking out of the old building where the small hotel was located, Yang Xiao wandered along the street alone. Soon, he noticed a small table in front of a noodle shop on the street. Two men with unpleasant looks were sitting in front of the table, smoking and drinking.

Watermelon rinds, cigarette butts, wine bottles and other garbage were thrown on the floor.

One of the sturdy men lifted up his clothes, revealing tiger tattoos all over his back. An elegant yellow letter was tattooed in a conspicuous place like a medal.

It was dinner time now, and the other restaurants nearby were doing good business. The only noodle shop whose door was blocked by two men didn't have a single customer.

"~~~tui!" Another skinny monkey-like man turned his head and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the steps of the front door of the noodle shop.

Everyone can see clearly that these two guys are here to cause trouble, but they just don’t know where the owner of this small noodle shop offended them.

Yang Xiao raised his head and glanced at the sun. It was slow and had not completely set yet, so it was not a good time to take action. He turned around and walked towards a fast food restaurant opposite.

Fill your stomach first, otherwise you won't be able to beat people for a while.
