After having enough wine and food, Shi Sanwen and his group went to the street outside the house.

According to the agreement between them and the village chief, after counting the "goods", they will pay the "full payment" in addition to the deposit.

The counting work was completed by Zhang San and Saleh. The purpose was two-fold: one was to confirm the number of people, and the second was naturally to find Saleh's wife Anaye.

However, when they counted all the kidnapped women, they found that Anaye was not among them, which made Saleh panic.

Fortunately, Zhang San is still here; he is a person with a good memory and a very careful mind. He has already seen the photos of the three women who were sent this time at the gas station, so he is counting the heads. I paid special attention and found the two people who were sold together with Anaye.

If you want to know where Anaye is, just ask them. At least they can provide some clues.

But... Zhang San thought about it for a while, and finally decided not to ask them, but to ask the village chief.

The village chief didn't lie. When Zhang San mentioned this to him, he just smiled and said, "I thought that girl was pretty, so I kept it in the cellar. I won't sell it, I'll keep it for myself." With ".

After hearing this, Zhang San quietly winked at Saleh, signaling the latter not to act rashly.

Then, he asked: "Besides this one, is there anyone else?"

This time, the village chief hesitated for a few seconds before telling him that there was also a kidnapped woman named Afaf who was being held in the detention room in the back room with her father.

After the village chief said this, he deliberately put on a very embarrassed expression and added: "We are worried about how to deal with them..."

Zhang San understood the implication as soon as he heard it. What the village chief meant was...it would be best to let Zhang San and the other "criminal organization members" kill the woman's father and then buy the girl as well. , help them solve this problem.

After hearing this, Zhang San didn't say anything. He just smiled and asked the other party to wait, and then went over to Shi Sanwen to whisper.

The two of them chatted for a few minutes. During this period, Shi Sanwen used his ability to confirm that what the village chief said was true, and checked again to see if there were still people in the village who had not arrived. As a result, he only found some people who had been left at home and Toddlers and children who have fallen asleep.

Not long after, the village chief Abdul, who was a little impatient, took the initiative to come up to them and tentatively said to them: "You two...it's getting late. In the middle of the night, the whole village is standing on the street. Come on, it’s not too particular... I see you have already counted the heads just now, can we..." When he said this, he raised his hand and made a "twisting banknotes" gesture.

By coincidence, Shi Sanwen and Zhang San were almost done discussing it now. Seeing him coming to urge him, Shi Sanwen immediately turned around and responded: "Well, I have also 'confirmed', it's time..."

"Haha... Okay! Okay!" Abdul beamed immediately when he heard that he could start trading. He was already a little tired of his wives. Now he can sell them at the original price and exchange them for new ones in the future. , he thought it was beautiful just thinking about it, "Then you think, should I give you cash or transfer..."

Before he finished speaking, his feet had already left the ground and his whole body was in the sky.

Not only him, but all the men in the village, including some young men who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and some old men and women, also "floated" at this moment.

One by one, they moved upward in a straight line like balloons, and one after another stopped in the air about fifteen meters above the ground.

"what happened?"

"Is this haunted?"

"Help!"

After a brief period of astonishment, those who had ascended to the sky began to shout.

They could not explain this phenomenon that happened to them. The only abnormality they could perceive was that their body seemed to be lifted to this height by a force originating from the abdomen.

After all these people went to heaven, Lieba followed Shi Sanwen's instructions to release the Afaf father and daughter from the detention room and Anaye from the cellar, and took back their belongings from the safe. Bag "deposit".

At the same time, Zhang San ran into the house, turned on the only radio in the village, and announced through the radio: All the women who were trafficked to this village are now free, and there will be people from outside the village within an hour. The police arrived (when Zhang San called the police, in addition to describing the situation in the village, he also sent a snapshot of Hunter Ba, claiming that the wanted criminal happened to be in the village as well. He believed that this move could speed up the dispatch of federal police. speed) to handle their matters, and it is up to them to decide where to go from now on.

His words should have been hard to believe, but after seeing all the men in the village "go to heaven", it didn't seem so impossible.

When Zhang San came out of the house again, Saleh and Anaye had hugged each other, and both of them were crying with joy. Although the conflict between the couple may not have been resolved, it seemed that everything was fine for the time being. Afterwards, Saleh would naturally confess to his wife and explain everything that had happened in the past few days.

Afaf, on the other hand, took her father and ran back "home" excitedly, looking for her child who was left alone in the house.

As for the flying group of people, Shi Sanwen has now used his power to move them to the distant mountains. Their next fate may be more terrifying and miserable than most people can imagine.

After doing this, Shi Sanwen and the others calmly got on the car and left the village under the suspicious and fearful eyes of everyone; they also took Salih and Anaye with them to prevent Salih from knowing a lot of inside information after the police arrived. Hyuk gets involved in trouble again.

When the small trailer arrived at the entrance of the village, Lieba stuck his head out of the window and looked back at the "Blind Mountain Village". With his excellent eyesight in the dark, he saw... the women in the village, or holding children. Holding their children in their hands or arms, they stood blankly on the main road of the village, looking at the entrance of the village and watching them leave.

He didn't see any joy or sadness on these people's faces, all he saw was helplessness and confusion.

About an hour later, Shi Sanwen and the others dropped Saleh and his wife in front of a motel, and gave them a sum of money for their trip home. At this point, Shi Sanwen had completed helping Saleh find the house. In return for his wife's promise, the two parties parted ways.

Looking back on the two-day journey, from the "Mu Shen Sect" to the "gas station" and then to the "Blind Mountain Village", it was basically a very bad experience, even though Shi Sanwen, Zhang San and Lieba had already Some things had changed, but the three of them didn't feel much relief.

They know very well in their hearts that if their actions represent "justice", it is only "justice delayed".

They did change some things, but there were many more things they couldn't change and could never change again.

"What's wrong with you?" In the bumpy car, Shi Sanwen saw through the rearview mirror that Lieba was worried in the back seat, so he asked.

"I'm thinking... how meaningful is everything we do?" Lieba looked at the night outside the window and said in a deep voice, "There are countless things in this world that are better than what we have seen in the past two days. Can we deal with the uglier things?"

Hearing this, Shi Sanwen was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I used to...I forgot what year it was, and I once rescued a girl who was forced into prostitution from a den. You know when I said to her, 'It's okay now. When... did she say anything back to me?"

Lieba didn't answer, just waiting for the answer to Shi Sanwen's question.

Shi Sanwen didn't wait a few seconds before he answered: "She cried bitterly and said to me over and over again, 'Why did you come just now?'" He paused and said, "Since then, I have I will never say 'it's okay' to the people I saved anymore, because I know... something is wrong.

“When there is ‘justice’ that needs to be served, it means that ‘sin’ has already arrived.

“But you can’t say that justice is meaningless just because justice always comes later than sin, and sometimes doesn’t come at all.

"If we don't even have delayed justice, then the evil in this world will have no scruples and expand infinitely...eating away all the last bits of good in human nature."

"Heh..." Hunter Ba gave a bitter smile, "Although what you say makes sense, we... seem to be all 'bad guys', right?"

"There are many kinds of bad people." Zhang San suddenly took over the topic and said, "At some point, the world needs 'bad people' like us, and 'good people' who abide by their duties and rules will not do it. Things to do.”

"Ha!" Hunter Ba smiled dryly this time, "So you guys are pretty great with the reverse cross, right?"

"We ourselves will not judge whether it is great or not. If you want to see what the reverse cross is all about, just complete your practice and we will put you in an excellent position to witness this cross-era event. What a show..." Zhang San also gave an ambiguous answer with a half-smile.

…………

At the same time, a federal police station in Jerusalem.

Outside the director's office, a middle-aged blond man with a medium build and slicked back hair was fiddling with the I-PEN in his hand.

He was not wearing a police uniform, but he did not look like a civilian employee of the police department.

His face was pale, his temperament was cold, and he was as lifeless as a corpse; if he stood behind someone, even if they were only a few centimeters apart, the other person would probably not notice that someone was there.

It is hard to imagine that such an inconspicuous man would be the highest combat power of "EF (Evolution_Factory, the special agency directly under the federal government, 'Evolution Factory')", serving as the "Deputy Factory Director" and "First Fighter" Jessed Newman, a super reformer with two positions.

"Mr. Newman, do you need anything else? Would you like to sit on the sofa in the lounge, and I can help you clear the place." Usually the person who would ask this question is usually the secretary or assistant, but today, it was the director. I asked in person.

Compared with Newman, the police chief of such a small city is not an "official" at all.

"I need you to work hard and provide me with as much useful information as possible to solve the case, instead of focusing on how to please me." Newman's voice and tone both had a lifeless coldness, and His dead face is a perfect match.

"Yes... yes, I understand." The director had no choice but to smile awkwardly, but as soon as he turned around, the expression on his face turned into a ferocious and twitching one.

"Director!" Just as the director was about to leave, a police officer suddenly ran over from the other end of the corridor and shouted as he ran through the office area, "Look at this!"

"What are you shouting for? How can you be so flustered?" The director was also very angry and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he took it out on the police officer.

"No... Director, it's an emergency." The police officer ran to the director and said breathlessly, "Look at this..." As he spoke, he handed over a warm and just faxed letter. photo, "...the branch in the north received a report that an S-class wanted man codenamed 'Lunter' was found in Blind Mountain Village..."

Before he finished speaking, Newman stood up like a ghost, stepped between the director and him, and snatched the photo away.

This photo was taken by Zhang San with his mobile phone (alarm platforms in this era can already receive various messages from smartphones). The light and angle are not very good, but because of this, you can tell at a glance that this photo It's not the kind of fake photo where the prisoner's face is photoshopped onto someone else's body through photo editing software.

"Prepare the car." After looking at the photo for two seconds, Newman gave an order directly without saying any nonsense.

After the director was stunned for a second, he immediately said to the police officer next to him: "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear the officer said he needed to prepare the car? Go quickly!"
