Chapter 46 [Believers] 6 seats
When Li Jie arrived at the Peace Agency.
Captain Chen Muyi, who had returned to the camp earlier, was preparing the ingredients for the evening's dinner party by himself.
He had a cigarette dangling from his lips, his shirt sleeves slightly rolled up, as he neatly and efficiently prepared the washed vegetables.
But his deep-set eyes seemed to tell a story of his exhaustion.
Chen Muyi, Leng Xuan, and Wu Xiangnan kept watch on the rooftop all night. When it was getting light and nothing happened, he left alone and went to the shop.
When he saw Li Jie walk in, he stopped what he was doing.
"You're up pretty early, kid."
"I thought you were all going to stay at the villa and help Hongying tidy up the house."
Li Jie looked around and walked into the kitchen, answering casually.
"Seven Nights stayed behind. I came to check on things first."
Is there anything I can help you with?
Chen Muyi thought for a moment, wiped the water off his hands, went to the front desk, and took out a few banknotes from the drawer.
“There really is something going on. I was planning to send Qi Mo, but that kid hasn’t shown up yet.”
"Take this money and go to the market to buy some groceries. I've already written down the list."
Li Jie took the money and the list, nodded, and then walked out of the room.
Chen Muye watched his departing figure, pressed his earpiece, and spoke softly.
"Leng Xuan, Li Jie has gone out..."
............
The distance between the market and the firm wasn't too far or too close, and Li Jie, who wasn't in a hurry, still walked for a while.
There were few pedestrians on the streets on New Year's Eve. The snow from last night had not yet been cleared away, and as he walked, he could hear the rustling sound under his feet.
Suddenly, the rustling footsteps around him increased. He stopped, put his hands in his pockets, and looked ahead as if waiting for something.
When a figure wearing a turquoise cloak appeared before him.
Li Jie sighed softly. They've come, just as expected...
I should have taken a taxi when I left home...
boom! !
A muffled gunshot rang out from the rooftop. Li Jie's head tilted to the side as a specially made sniper bullet grazed his cheek and struck the snowdrift behind him.
After dodging the bullet, Li Jie calmly looked at the suddenly increased number of enemies. In addition to the man in the green robe and the sniper, there was also a van with its engine still running parked on the side of the road.
It seems that, apart from the man in green robes, the rest of the people were the assassins who ambushed Lin Qiye...
"Li Jie?"
The tall, thin man in a green cloak standing in front of him asked.
Li Jie nodded, and suddenly, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he took off running into the alley next to him.
Lu Liang, who was about to say something, suddenly froze, looking at Li Jie's somewhat 'disheveled' figure and feeling at a loss.
Why did this kid run away as soon as he came up... He's such a coward.
He shook his head slightly, then gave Scorpion a look inside the car. Scorpion understood and started the car, heading towards the other side of the alley.
Li Jie ran away for two simple reasons: first, he wanted to see just how many enemies he had attracted; second, he wanted to find a secluded place... to have a proper 'chat'.
As he ran to the end of the alley, two black vans braked suddenly and swerved sideways. Through the rolled-down windows, the dark muzzles of guns instantly spat out deadly flames.
The special bullets fired by the 'Mad Scorpion' were quite dense. Seeing this, Li Jie put two fingers together and swung a sword aura backward to create a safe 'escape route' for himself.
Ding!
As he ran, he also got a sense of the number of enemies.
One, two, three... plus the sniper on the rooftop... seven people in total?
Under Li Jie's deliberate guidance, Lü Liang and the six members of "Mad Scorpion" were brought into the development zone.
Having achieved his goal, Li Jie slowly stopped.
This place... is actually quite nice...
The development zone is not yet completed, and the surrounding area is full of unfinished high-rise buildings. During the holiday, most of the construction workers went home for the Spring Festival. This place can be said to be the most suitable battlefield in Cangnan City at present.
Seeing that Li Jie had finally stopped, Lü Liang, who had been chasing after him, breathed a sigh of relief.
I, the 16th seat of the [Believers], was actually led around half the city by a mere white-haired brat...
Where is the reasoning here?
"Run! Why aren't you running anymore!"
"Although the 'Mad Scorpion' gang are all useless, their reconnaissance and tracking abilities are still quite good. Where can you run to on two legs?"
Click!
The 'Mad Scorpion' mercenary standing next to him did not show any displeasure when he heard Lu Liang call them trash.
Their professionalism has made them refrain from any nonsense.
They simultaneously cocked their rifles and aimed them at Li Jie.
"Before we begin, I'd like to ask you a question."
Li Jie looked at Lü Liang, who was panting heavily and clearly exhausted, and spoke up.
problem?
Has this kid not figured out the situation yet?
"Whatever you want to ask, the dead don't need to know the answers!"
"So young, what a pity..." He grinned maliciously at Li Jie.
"The one who killed you was Lü Liang, the sixteenth seat of the [believers] under the great 'Whispering' master!"
"Remember this name, and don't ever meet me again in your next life!"
After saying that, a green light surged from his fingertips and slowly wrapped around Li Jie.
Hearing this, Li Jie nodded knowingly.
"You've already told me what I wanted to know."
Yes, Li Jie actually just wanted to ask his name, since he hadn't even appeared yet when Xiao Tian bit him in one bite.
It had been so long that Li Jie couldn't remember his name anymore.
If it weren't for An Qingyu's reminder, he would have almost forgotten that such a person existed...
On the other side, Lü Liang was a bit confused. "I don't think I said anything except introduce myself..."
What happened next made him regret not having called Han Shaoyun to help kill this white-haired kid.
"I....."
Just as Lü Liang was about to speak, the change in the surrounding atmosphere made him catch his breath.
When Wu arrived, the entire world turned black and white, and even the vines he released using the forbidden ruins lost their luster.
He looked up at Li Jie's tall and straight figure, thinking to himself.
Is this his forbidden ruin?
But I haven't felt any effect...
How strange....
Just as he was about to intensify his attack on Li Jie by releasing the forbidden energy, a powerful pressure seemed to be coming towards him from within the black and white space!
Li Jie deftly unfastened the "Han Guang" brooch from his waist and slowly walked forward.
The closer he got to Lü Liang and the others, the stronger the pressure emanating from [World Loses Color] became. Of the six mercenaries of 'Mad Scorpion', only Scorpion One, who was slightly stronger, and the sniper who was a little further away, were able to withstand the pressure.
Without exception, they were all stunned by the oppressive aura emanating from Li Jie.
thump!
Gradually, even Scorpion couldn't withstand the overwhelming pressure and knelt down.
He used the rifle in his hand to support his body so that he wouldn't fall.
Looking at Li Jie, who radiated the only light in this world, Lü Liang had already begun to consider retreating.
He's not stupid; it's clear that the information they received was wrong.
The pressure from this mysterious forbidden ruin was already becoming unbearable for him.
"Kid, I'll let you off this time. We'll see each other again someday..."
Just as he was about to flee, Li Jie made his move!
