This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

#60 - Drive the tiger to devour the wolf

Inspection Division, Captain of the Night Spectre Squad, office.

Chen Fu sat in his boss's chair, rubbing his temples.

It was almost nine o'clock and he still hadn't left work; it seemed that the captain working overtime was the norm in the Inspection Division.

He had been very tired since returning from headquarters. A group of captains had ventured deep into the mist. Although they hadn't encountered any fatal dangers, the mental shock required a long time to alleviate.

The mist was different from the real world. It was chaotic, absurd, and bizarre. Even if ordinary people didn't encounter anything strange, their minds would still be affected if they stayed there for too long.

He took the last cigarette from the pack on his desk, crumpled the empty box, and casually tossed it into the trash can.

At this moment, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

A text message had arrived.

Chen Fu lit his cigarette and picked up his phone to check the message.

Just seeing the sender's name made his expression change slightly, and he suddenly stood up from his boss's chair.

The sender was none other than Fang Hao.

Not the Fang Hao who died under the Jiang River Bridge, but the Fang Hao who had once joined the Inspection Division!

"Why would X send me a text message?" Chen Fu opened the message. There was only one sentence.

【Captain, traces of the New World have been discovered! May First Square in the Old City District! Come quickly!】

What does this mean?

When did Code X get involved with the New World?

Is it a trap?

The moment he saw the text message, Chen Fu thought a lot. He even called back, but the other party's phone was already turned off.

In the end, Chen Fu grabbed the car keys from the desk and hurriedly left the office.

Judging from Code X's style, the other party shouldn't be a member of the New World. Although the true purpose of this text message is still unclear, it shouldn't be a trap.

Soon, a dark green sports car drove out of the Inspection Division's garage and sped towards the Old City District.

… …

Happiness Garden Residential Area.

Light seemed to have completely disappeared from this residential area. A deathly darkness enveloped the entire unit building.

The hooded man stopped at the door, expressionlessly watching the middle-aged neighbor lying half-dead on the floor.

The middle-aged neighbor seemed to sense something, and laboriously opened his pus-filled eyelids.

When he saw the hooded man, a strong desire to live appeared on his face: "Executive… Executive Sir, save me…"

The hooded man walked up to him, the baggy black hoodie bulging high, as if something was about to burst out.

"The New World doesn't need trash."

The cold words were devoid of any emotion. In the middle-aged neighbor's disbelieving gaze, a blood-stained hand stretched out from under the hooded man's hoodie and directly pierced his throat.

The blood-stained hand retracted. The hooded man narrowed his eyes and looked at the balcony. The balcony door was wide open, the night wind stirring the curtains. It seemed that someone had just left from the balcony.

He suddenly turned around, went to the corridor outside the house, and looked down.

At some point, the guy who had been looking at him from upstairs was now downstairs, waving at him.

Once again, their eyes met, but the positions of the two sides had changed at this moment.

"Interesting! This is so interesting!"

The corners of the hooded man's mouth split open, and he stuck out his scarlet tongue, licking wildly at the air.

Then, he jumped directly onto the corridor railing and leaped down.

That was the third floor, but the hooded man didn't hesitate at all, jumping straight down.

"These New World people are really abnormal."

Lin Jue didn't hesitate at all and turned to flee.

He didn't think the hooded man would be killed or injured by the fall. For such a strong person, jumping from the third floor might be as easy as jumping down three steps.

"Judging from the time I spent in the Inspection Division before, Chen Fu should still be in the Inspection Division at this hour."

"It takes twenty minutes to get from the Inspection Division to May First Square. It takes me fifteen minutes to run there at my speed, which means I only need to switch roles after arriving at the square and blend into the crowd. If I hide for five minutes, I can hold out until Chen Fu arrives."

"The time may vary, but it won't exceed two minutes!"

Lin Jue thought as he ran. May First Square was the largest square in the Old City District, and there should still be some people there at this hour.

As long as he lured the hooded man over there, and then used the crowd to switch roles, the rest could be left to Chen Fu to solve.

He knew in his heart that as long as he killed the middle-aged neighbor, the hooded man would definitely try to kill him.

He couldn't possibly allow a potential threat to lurk in the shadows, so he sent Chen Fu a text message before escaping, and at the same time lured the hooded man to a place far away from his residence, and then used Chen Fu's knife to get rid of the other party.

He didn't worry at all that Chen Fu wouldn't go to May First Square after seeing the text message. Given the other party's personality, he would definitely go!

This entire response plan had been conceived in Lin Jue's mind before going to Suolong Mountain!

The old street was pitch black. Lin Jue felt the increasingly cold aura behind him, opened his right hand, and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air, and then roared towards his back.

He didn't look back, nor did he think that his flame would cause much damage to the hooded man behind him, it was just to slow down the other party's speed.

Looking at the roaring flame, the hooded man sneered. Under the hoodie, the blood-stained hand stretched out again.

Blood flowed, gathering on the palm.

Boom.

The fireball shattered into a sky full of sparks. The hooded man's body shook, and a shrill scream rang in his ears. The hand quickly retracted into the hoodie.

"This flame seems to have a great restraint on the strange things I control."

The hooded man patted the sparks falling on his body, and then sneered disdainfully.

"Since it restrains the strange, then I don't believe it also restrains humans."

In the air beside him, strands of blood-colored threads appeared, condensing into a strand, turning into a blood-colored spear, and breaking through the air.

The blood-colored spear turned into a red phantom in the air. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived behind Lin Jue.

Lin Jue felt something and dodged to the side.

The blood-colored spear brushed past his body and landed on the floor in front. The stone-paved floor was directly shattered, and countless gravel flew. One of them brushed against Lin Jue's face, bringing a trace of blood.

Lin Jue's footsteps didn't stop at all. When he turned a corner, May First Square was already in sight.

Compared to the darkness of the old street, May First Square was much brighter.

Although it was night, there were still many people here, including grandpas and grandmas dancing in the square, and young couples secretly being intimate in the corners.

Lin Jue gathered all the strength in his legs, accelerated, rushed into the crowd, and quickly switched to the role of Li Ge with the help of the crowd's cover.

"Wife, look, someone there can change faces too…" A man sitting on the side of the road pointed at Lin Jue drunkenly.

The woman next to him roared angrily: "I told you to drink less, drink less, you're having hallucinations!"

The hooded man looked at May First Square not far away, and slowed down slightly: "Is this trying to stop me with the crowd?"

His eyes scanned the crowd, searching for Lin Jue's trace. The other party seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

But he could be sure that the other party must be hiding among these people.

"Do you think that because there are many people here, I won't dare to attack? Or do you think you can hide by relying on the crowd?"

The hooded man slowly approached May First Square, stepping down step by step, the street lights on May First Square began to go out one by one as he stepped.

"It doesn't matter. Since you're hiding in the crowd, then I'll kill everyone in this square. I'd like to see where you can hide!"
