Chapter 178 Old Classmates (Updated)
Early the next morning, Mo Zhou and others disappeared and boarded a plane heading for the foggy city.
Wudu, also known as Mountain City, and also called Fengdu by outsiders, is close to Shuyang Province and Wujiang.
The reason why he chose there was not only because he was curious about the local hot pot, but also because there was a regional anomaly there.
Although this abnormality in a fixed location also means that the opponent is strictly defensive, the derivatives of this thing can theoretically be used by Mo Zhou, so it is worth taking a little risk.
…
At the same time, Liu Zhuo and Ye Qingyi of the [Fluorescent Society] were secretly investigating the whereabouts of King Zhou in Suhai Province, where Mo Zhou had stayed before his trip to Sakura.
"Master, there are still no clues about the seventh deceased's family."
In a room, the shadow at Liu Zhuo's feet was seen kneeling on the ground like a living creature to report, but his voice was not as lively as a living person and seemed a bit mechanical.
Liu Zhuo's face was a little pale, he waved his hand to wave away the shadow servant, and then closed the curtains.
This is a side effect caused by outsiders using the shadow servants separated by Xu Chengguang: [photophobia].
This side effect is not fatal, but as the frequency of using Shadow Servant increases, oneself will become all-round weak under natural light sources.
Even if his and Ye Qingyi's bodies had been strengthened by the investigation team, after two or three months of frequent use, they might not be able to beat a dog on the roadside with all their strength in the sun.
But in his opinion, as long as he can find clues to King Zhou, everything will be worth it.
Shadow servants retain part of their intelligence during life and can jump and move between shadows. Their only weakness is that they materialize for a moment when interacting with real matter.
This ability may not be as good as the female earth bat's clone and Mo Zhou's nightmare, but it can take into account both intelligence and combat, which is very suitable for the current situation of the two.
"Team Liu, it seems that the clues have been broken again this time. Also, Team Fang contacted me again today."
Ye Qingyi sighed at the side, but when the conversation changed, she brought up the matter of Fang Gusheng.
"He came to ask us to go back again? Hasn't he suffered enough?"
As a close friend of the two, Fang Gusheng had private means of contact with the two, but he did not report or pursue the two, and tried to persuade them to return and surrender.
According to the other party, although the martyr has always been on a mission, he will not give up if clues about the two are found.
When Fang Gusheng contacted the two for the first time, his last words were as follows:
“I believe in your character, but I can’t always believe it.
This is not a good idea, but I hope your choice can be worthy of the people of Yan Kingdom. "
Liu Zhuo didn't know the characteristics of Fang Gusheng's [Crime-Breaking Knife], but he could tell from the other party's serious and hoarse tone that the other party was not having an easy time.
Every time he thought about this matter, his heart felt like a knife. He couldn't understand why his father became like this, and he couldn't understand why the old man became more and more confused as he lived.
But Ye Qingyi's next words immediately cheered him up:
"No, the team said that although the clues on our side are invalid, the newly established GHB seems to have clues on King Zhou."
"What?! Do they have a clue? Then you should remind them not to act rashly. That guy is a bit evil. They must make strategic arrangements before acting carefully."
Ye Qingyi shook her head and frowned:
"In fact, there was just a small-scale containment out of control at GHB, and a helicopter and a ten-man team were missing. The so-called clues are just the speculation of the Martyrs Team.
Combined with the temple incident where cherry blossoms just appeared a while ago, the team and others had reason to doubt King Zhou.
After all, he often committed such crimes without leaving any trace when he was still in the [Fire Man] file stage.
Ordinary aberrants would not attack them rashly and leave no trace;
Moreover, King Zhou has the ability to have nightmares. If you want to obtain information quickly, the best way is to start with people related to the anomaly. "
When Liu Zhuo heard this, he tapped his fingers on the table and frowned:
"So, this means there is no information at all?"
"That's right, but what the Fang team means is that since everyone's goal is to capture King Zhou, they can divide their troops into two groups.
We also know the process of the investigation team. Even if the team of martyrs the square team belongs to is called [Fighting Zhou], they can't waste a lot of manpower and material resources based on guessing before there are clear clues.
The question now is whether we trust: Him
I personally believe in Team Fang, but objectively speaking, I can't guarantee whether the investigation team is leading us to be exposed.
According to the behavior profile of King Zhou by the Fang team, if they assume that the opponent has appeared, they will definitely leave a retreat, and it is very likely that they will move along the southern provinces.
From a geographical point of view, several southwestern provinces border on Asan and other countries, so it is best to get away;
The north can only go deep into Luosi Kingdom. King Zhou will definitely not let us catch turtles in the urn. After the cherry blossom incident along the coast, the defense strength has been greatly increased, so he may not show up;
From an anomaly perspective, if the opponent has a clear target through nightmare intelligence, there are not many fixed anomaly locations. The one that can profit from this and the situation is chaotic is most likely the [Tai Xu Realm] in the northwest. "
After saying this, Ye Qingyi's eyes gradually brightened:
“Although everything is speculation, the current people who have experienced a series of coincidental deaths cannot provide much information.
Rather than trying to figure the elephant out here, maybe we can try to follow this line.
After all, our methods are somewhat inconsistent with formal procedures, but we still have advantages over the investigation team. It would be best if the other team can help! "
After the words fell, Ye Qingyi also calmed down, waiting for Liu Zhuo's reply.
"Okay! Then go along Suhai Province all the way to Lingnan Province, then to Wujiang, and finally move to the northwest.
It's just right to investigate a few common anomalies that other provinces have not had time to deal with, maybe it can improve the combat power."
...
On the other side, Mo Zhou, who got off the plane, didn't know that the investigation team was looking for him a little crazy, and even accidentally guessed part of the route.
But even if he knew this, he would probably not change the route.
After all, there are not many anomalies with clear intelligence after screening, and there are even fewer that can help him obviously.
As long as his actions in the foggy city alarm the investigation team, they will inevitably figure out their needs.
Some things, if you want to do them, you can't avoid them.
At night, several people came to a popular hot pot restaurant according to the recommendation found by Gutou, but after eating two bites, Mo Zhou paid the bill and left.
Sure enough, there is a saying that most of the popular restaurants on the Internet are scamming outsiders.
After he dreamed of several locals, he finally came to an ordinary fly restaurant.
"Hello, is there a total of three people?"
"Yes, three people, open a private room."
"Sorry, we don't open this private room for three people."
"You can pay more, if it's really not possible, forget it."
"Then I'll open a room for you, but you have to add 50 yuan for the private room fee. After all, we can't make much money if there are fewer seats."
"Okay."
"What soup base do you want? Our beef oil is a must-order. Clear soup and mushroom soup can only give you a whole dango pot. For outsiders, I suggest you order slightly spicy. Some of us locals can't afford it if it's higher."
Mo Zhou nodded, picked a few dishes, sat by the window and looked at the night view, but then frowned.
In a KTV across the street, a half-drunk man staggered away with a woman's shoulder.
From the other person's eyebrows, he vaguely recalled his college life.
This person is an old classmate of his.
However, he found through the perception of the air-watching technique that there seemed to be something wrong with this old classmate.
Mo Zhou retracted his gaze and looked at the empty chair beside him:
"Da Huang, remember the smell of the person across the street."
"Woof!"
Da Huang, who sneaked into the store after being invisible, called out. After remembering the other person's smell, he and Beni were worried about whether to try the beef oil pot base later.
It is said that the hot pot in the foggy city is very different from that in other provinces, and I don't know if I can stand it.
On the other side, Mo Zhou was looking at the pot base that was gradually steaming in front of him and fell into deep thought.
He was just about to return to China, and it was okay to encounter the rolling stones, but it didn't make sense to encounter abnormalities when eating a meal casually, right?
He always felt that there was something fishy here.
